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。
After this it came about that David attacked the Philistines and defeated them. So David took Metheg Ammah from the control 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。
Then he defeated Moab and measured their men with a line by making them lie down on the ground. He measured off two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. So the Moabites became servants to David and began to pay him 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。
David then defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, the king of Zobah, as Hadadezer was traveling to recover his rule by the Euphrates River.
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。
David captured from him 1,700 chariots and twenty thousand footmen. David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for 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。
When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand Aramean men.
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。
Then David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became servants to him and brought him tribute. Yahweh gave victory to 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。
David took the golden shields that were on Hadadezer's servants and brought them to Jerusalem.
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。
From Tebah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took very much bronze.
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、
When Tou, king of Hamath, heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer,
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、
Tou sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him, because David had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, and because Hadadezer had waged war against Tou. Hadoram brought with himself objects of silver, gold, and bronze.
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。
King David set aside these objects to Yahweh, together with the silver and gold from all the nations that 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。
from Aram, Moab, the people of Ammon, the Philistines, and Amalek, along with all of the plundered goods of Hadadezer son of Rehob, the king of Zobah.
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。
David's name was well known when he returned from conquering the Arameans in the Valley of Salt, with their eighteen thousand men.
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。
He placed garrisons throughout all of Edom, and all the Edomites became servants to him. Yahweh gave victory to 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。
David reigned over all Israel, and he administered justice and righteousness to all his people.
16 ゼルヤの子ヨアブは軍の長、アヒルデの子ヨシャパテは史官、
Joab son of Zeruiah was the commander of the army, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was recorder.
17 アヒトブの子ザドクとアビヤタルの子アヒメレクは祭司、セラヤは書記官、
Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests, and Seraiah was scribe.
18 エホヤダの子ベナヤはケレテびととペレテびとの長、ダビデの子たちは祭司であった。
Benaiah son of Jehoiada was in charge of the Kerethites and Pelethites, and David's sons were the chief officials at the king's hand.
