< サムエル記Ⅱ 8 >
1 この後ダビデはペリシテびとを撃って、これを征服した。ダビデはまたペリシテびとの手からメテグ・アンマを取った。
And it came to pass after this, that David struck the Philistines, and put them to flight, and David took the tribute from out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 彼はまたモアブを撃ち、彼らを地に伏させ、なわをもって彼らを測った。すなわち二筋のなわをもって殺すべき者を測り、一筋のなわをもって生かしておく者を測った。そしてモアブびとは、ダビデのしもべとなって、みつぎを納めた。
And David struck Moab, and measured them out with lines, having laid them down on the ground: and there were two lines for slaying, and two lines he kept alive: and Moab became servants to David, yielding tribute.
3 ダビデはまたレホブの子であるゾバの王ハダデゼルが、ユフラテ川のほとりにその勢力を回復しようとして行くところを撃った。
And David struck Adraazar the son of Raab king of Suba, as he went to extend his power to the river Euphrates.
4 そしてダビデは彼から騎兵千七百人、歩兵二万人を取った。ダビデはまた一百の戦車の馬を残して、そのほかの戦車の馬はみなその足の筋を切った。
And David took a thousand of his chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all his chariot [horses], and he reserved to himself a hundred chariots.
5 ダマスコのスリヤびとが、ゾバの王ハダデゼルを助けるためにきたので、ダビデはスリヤびと二万二千人を殺した。
And Syria of Damascus comes to help Adraazar king of Suba, and David struck twenty-two thousand men belonging to the Syrian.
6 そしてダビデはダマスコのスリヤに守備隊を置いた。スリヤびとは、ダビデのしもべとなって、みつぎを納めた。主はダビデにすべてその行く所で勝利を与えられた。
And David placed a garrison in Syria near Damascus, and the Syrians became servants and tributaries to David: and the Lord preserved David wherever he went.
7 ダビデはハダデゼルのしもべらが持っていた金の盾を奪って、エルサレムに持ってきた。
And David took the golden bracelets which were on the servants of Adraazar king of Suba, and brought them to Jerusalem. And Susakim king of Egypt took them, when he went up to Jerusalem in the days of Roboam son of Solomon.
8 ダビデ王はまたハダデゼルの町、ベタとベロタイから、ひじょうに多くの青銅を取った。
And king David took from Metebac, and from the choice cities of Adraazar, very much brass: with that Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the lavers, and all the furniture.
9 時にハマテの王トイは、ダビデがハダデゼルのすべての軍勢を撃ち破ったことを聞き、
And You the king of Hemath heard that David had struck all the host of Adraazar.
10 その子ヨラムをダビデ王のもとにつかわして、彼にあいさつし、かつ祝を述べさせた。ハダデゼルはかつてしばしばトイと戦いを交えたが、ダビデがハダデゼルと戦ってこれを撃ち破ったからである。ヨラムが銀の器と金の器と青銅の器を携えてきたので、
And You sent Jedduram his son to king David, to ask him of his welfare, and to congratulate him on his fighting against Adraazar and striking him, for he was an enemy to Adraazar: and in his hands were vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass.
11 ダビデ王は征服したすべての国民から取ってささげた金銀と共にこれらをも主にささげた。
And these king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and with the gold which he consecrated out of all the cities which he conquered,
12 すなわちエドム、モアブ、アンモンの人々、ペリシテびと、アマレクから獲た物、およびゾバの王レホブの子ハダデゼルから獲たぶんどり物と共にこれをささげた。
out of Idumea, and out of Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalec, and from the spoils of Adraazar son of Raab king of Suba.
13 こうしてダビデは名声を得た。彼は帰ってきてから塩の谷でエドムびと一万八千人を撃ち殺した。
And David made [himself] a name: and when he returned he struck Idumea in Gebelem to [the number of] eighteen thousand.
14 そしてエドムに守備隊を置いた。すなわちエドムの全地に守備隊を置き、エドムびとは皆ダビデのしもべとなった。主はダビデにすべてその行く所で勝利を与えられた。
And he set garrisons in Idumea, even in all Idumea: and all the Idumeans were servants to the king. And the Lord preserved David wherever he went.
15 こうしてダビデはイスラエルの全地を治め、そのすべての民に正義と公平を行った。
And David reigned over all Israel: and David wrought judgement and justice over all his people.
