歴代誌Ⅰ 19
1 この後アンモンの人々の王ナハシが死んで、その子がこれに代って王となった。
And it was after thus and he died Nahash [the] king of [the] people of Ammon and he reigned son his in place of him.
2 そのときダビデは言った、「わたしはナハシの子ハヌンに、彼の父がわたしに恵みを施したように、恵みを施そう」。そしてダビデは彼をその父のゆえに慰めようとして使者をつかわした。ダビデのしもべたちはハヌンを慰めるためアンモンの人々の地に来たが、
And he said David I will do loyalty - with Hanun [the] son of Nahash for he did father his with me loyalty and he sent David messengers to comfort him on father his and they came [the] servants of David into [the] land of [the] people of Ammon to Hanun to comfort him.
3 アンモンの人々のつかさたちはハヌンに言った、「ダビデが慰める者をあなたのもとにつかわしたことによって、あなたは彼があなたの父を尊ぶのだと思われますか。彼のしもべたちが来たのは、この国をうかがい、探って滅ぼすためではありませんか」。
And they said [the] officials of [the] people of Ammon to Hanun ¿ [is] honoring David father your in view your for he has sent to you comforters ¿ not in order to explore and to overthrow and to spy out the land have they come servants his to you.
4 そこでハヌンはダビデのしもべたちを捕えて、そのひげをそり落し、その着物を中ほどから断ち切って腰の所までにして彼らを帰してやった。
And he took Hanun [the] servants of David and he shaved them and he cut off robes their in the middle to the buttock[s] and he sent away them.
5 ある人々が来て、この人たちのされたことをダビデに告げたので、彼は人をつかわして、彼らを迎えさせた。その人々が非常に恥じたからである。そこで王は言った、「ひげがのびるまでエリコにとどまって、その後帰りなさい」。
And people went and they told to David on the men and he sent to meet them for they were the men humiliated exceedingly and he said the king remain at Jericho until that it will grow back beard your and you will return.
6 アンモンの人々は自分たちがダビデに憎まれることをしたとわかったので、ハヌンおよびアンモンの人々は銀千タラントを送ってメソポタミヤとアラム・マアカ、およびゾバから戦車と騎兵を雇い入れた。
And they saw [the] people of Ammon that they had made themselves odious with David and he sent Hanun and [the] people of Ammon one thousand talent[s] of silver to hire for themselves from Aram Naharaim and from Aram Maacah and from Zobah chariotry and horsemen.
7 すなわち戦車三万二千およびマアカの王とその軍隊を雇い入れたので、彼らは来てメデバの前に陣を張った。そこでアンモンの人々は町々から寄り集まって、戦いに出動した。
And they hired for themselves two and thirty thousand chariot[s] and [the] king of Maacah and people his and they came and they encamped before Medeba and [the] people of Ammon they gathered from cities their and they came for battle.
8 ダビデはこれを聞いてヨアブと勇士の全軍をつかわしたので、
And he heard David and he sent Joab and all [the] army the warriors.
9 アンモンの人々は出て来て町の入口に戦いの備えをした。また助けに来た王たちは別に野にいた。
And they went out [the] people of Ammon and they deployed battle [the] entrance of the city and the kings who they had come to alone them [were] in the open country.
10 時にヨアブは戦いが前後から自分に向かっているのを見て、イスラエルのえり抜きの兵士のうちから選んで、これをスリヤびとに対して備え、
And he saw Joab that it was [the] face of the battle against him face and back and he chose from every chosen [man] in Israel and he deployed to meet Aram.
11 そのほかの民を自分の兄弟アビシャイの手にわたして、アンモンの人々に対して備えさせ、
And [the] rest of the people he put in [the] hand of Abishai brother his and they deployed to meet [the] people of Ammon.
12 そして言った、「もしスリヤびとがわたしに手ごわいときは、わたしを助けてください。もしアンモンの人々があなたに手ごわいときは、あなたを助けましょう。
And he said if it will be [too] strong for me Aram and you will become for me deliverance. And if [the] people of Ammon they will be [too] strong for you and I will deliver you.
13 勇ましくしてください。われわれの民のためと、われわれの神の町々のために、勇ましくしましょう。どうか、主が良いと思われることをされるように」。
Be strong so let us show ourselves strong for people our and for [the] cities of God our and Yahweh the good in view his he will do.
14 こうしてヨアブが自分と一緒にいる民と共にスリヤびとに向かって戦おうとして近づいたとき、スリヤびとは彼の前から逃げた。
And he drew near Joab and the people which [was] with him before Aram for battle and they fled from before him.
15 アンモンの人々はスリヤびとの逃げるのを見て、彼らもまたヨアブの兄弟アビシャイの前から逃げて町にはいった。そこでヨアブはエルサレムに帰った。
And [the] people of Ammon they saw that it had fled Aram and they fled also they from before Abishai brother his and they went the city towards and he went Joab Jerusalem.
16 しかしスリヤびとは自分たちがイスラエルの前に打ち敗られたのを見て、使者をつかわし、ハダデゼルの軍の長ショパクの率いるユフラテ川の向こう側にいるスリヤびとを引き出した。
And it saw Aram that they had been defeated before Israel and they sent messengers and they brought out Aram which [was] from [the] other side of the river and Shophach [the] commander of [the] army of Hadadezer [was] before them.
17 この事がダビデに聞えたので、彼はイスラエルをことごとく集め、ヨルダンを渡り、彼らの所に来て、これに向かって戦いの備えをした。ダビデがこのようにスリヤびとに対して戦いの備えをしたとき、彼はダビデと戦った。
And it was told to David and he gathered all Israel and he passed over the Jordan and he came to them and he deployed against them and he deployed David to meet Aram battle and they fought with him.
18 しかしスリヤびとがイスラエルの前から逃げたので、ダビデはスリヤびとの戦車の兵七千、歩兵四万を殺し、また軍の長ショパクをも殺した。
And it fled Aram from to before Israel and he killed David of Aram seven thousand charioteer[s] and forty thousand man on foot and Shophach [the] commander of the army he killed.
19 ハダデゼルのしもべたちは味方の者がイスラエルに打ち敗られたのを見て、ダビデと和を講じ、彼に仕えた。スリヤびとは再びアンモンびとを助けることをしなかった。
And they saw [the] servants of Hadadezer that they had been defeated before Israel and they made peace with David and they served him and not it was willing Aram to deliver [the] people of Ammon again.
