< 2 Samuel 24 >

1 And the anger of YHWH adds to burn against Israel, and [an adversary] moves David about them, saying, “Go, number Israel and Judah.”
ヱホバ復イスラエルにむかひて怒を發しダビデを感動して彼等に敵對しめ往てイスラエルとユダを數へよと言しめたまふ
2 And the king says to Joab, head of the host that [is] with him, “Now go to and fro through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba, and inspect the people; then I have known the number of the people.”
王乃ちヨアブおよびヨアブとともにある軍長等にいひけるは請ふイスラエルの諸の支派の中をダンよりベエルシバに至るまで行めぐりて民を核べ我をして民の數を知しめよ
3 And Joab says to the king, “Indeed, your God YHWH adds to the people, as they are, one hundred times, and the eyes of my lord the king are seeing; and my lord the king, why is he desirous of this thing?”
ヨアブ王にいひけるは幾何あるともねがはくは汝の神ヱホバ民を百倍に増たまへ而して王わが主の目それを視るにいたれ然りといへども王わが主の此事を悦びたまふは何故ぞやと
4 And the word of the king is severe toward Joab, and against the heads of the force, and Joab goes out, and the heads of the force, [from] before the king to inspect the people, even Israel;
されど王の言ヨアブと軍長等に勝ければヨアブと軍長等王の前を退きてイスラエルの民を核べに往り
5 and they pass over the Jordan, and encamp in Aroer, on the right of the city that [is] in the midst of the Brook of Gad, and to Jazer,
かれらヨルダンを濟りアロエルより即ち河の中の邑より始めてガドにいたりヤゼルにいたり
6 and they come to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-Hodshi, and they come to Dan-Jaan, and around to Sidon,
ギレアデにいたりタテムホデシの地にいたり又ダニヤンにいたりてシドンに旋り
7 and they come to the fortress of Tyre, and all the cities of the Hivite, and of the Canaanite, and go out to the south of Judah, to Beer-Sheba.
またツロの城にいたりヒビ人とカナン人の諸の邑にいたりユダの南に出てベエルシバにいたれり
8 And they go to and fro through all the land, and come in to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days,
彼等國を徧く行めぐり九月と廿日を經てルサレムに至りぬ
9 and Joab gives the account of the inspection of the people to the king, and Israel is eight hundred thousand men of valor, drawing sword, and the men of Judah five hundred thousand men.
ヨアブ人口の數を王に告たり即ちイスラエルに劍を抜く壯士八十萬ありき又ユダの人は五十萬ありき
10 And the heart of David strikes him, after that he has numbered the people, and David says to YHWH, “I have greatly sinned in that which I have done, and now, O YHWH, please cause the iniquity of Your servant to pass away, for I have acted very foolishly.”
ダビデ民の數を書し後其心自ら責む是においてダビデ、ヱホバにいふ我これを爲して大に罪を犯したりねがはくはヱホバよ僕の罪を除きたまへ我甚だ愚なる事を爲りと
11 And David rises in the morning, and the word of YHWH has been to Gad the prophet, seer of David, saying,
ダビデ朝興し時ヱホバの言ダビデの先見者なる預言者ガデに臨みて曰く
12 “Go, and you have spoken to David, Thus said YHWH: I am lifting up three [choices] for you, choose one of them, and I do [it] to you.”
往てダビデに言へヱホバ斯いふ我汝に三を示す汝其一を擇べ我其を汝に爲んと
13 And Gad comes to David, and declares [it] to him, and says to him, “Does seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or are you fleeing before your adversary [for] three months—and he is pursuing you? Or is there pestilence [for] three days in your land? Now, know and see what word I take back to Him sending me.”
ガデ、ダビデの許にいたりこれに告てこれにいひけるは汝の地に七年の饑饉いたらんか或は汝敵に追れて三月其前に遁んか或は爾の地に三日の疫病あらんか爾考へてわが如何なる答を我を遣はせし者に爲べきかを決めよ
14 And David says to Gad, “I have great distress; please let us fall into the hand of YHWH, for His mercies [are] many, but do not let me fall into the hand of man.”
ダビデ、ガデにいひけるは我大に苦しむ請ふ我儕をしてヱホバの手に陷らしめよ其憐憫大なればなり我をして人の手に陷らしむるなかれ
15 And YHWH gives a pestilence on Israel from the morning even to the time appointed, and there dies of the people, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba, seventy thousand men,
是においてヱホバ朝より集會の時まで疫病をイスラエルに降したまふダンよりベエルシバまでに民の死る者七萬人なり
16 and the messenger puts forth his hand to Jerusalem to destroy it, and YHWH sighs concerning the calamity, and says to the messenger who is destroying among the people, “Enough, now, cease your hand”; and the messenger of YHWH was near the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
天の使其手をエルサレムに伸てこれを滅さんとしたりしがヱホバ此害惡を悔て民を滅す天使にいひたまひけるは足り今汝の手を住めよと時にヱホバの使はヱブス人アラウナの禾場の傍にあり
17 And David speaks to YHWH when he sees the messenger who is striking among the people, and says, “Behold, I have sinned, indeed, I have done perversely; and these—the flock—what have they done? Please let Your hand be on me and on the house of my father.”
ダビデ民を撃つ天使を見し時ヱホバに申していひけるは嗚呼我は罪を犯したり我は惡き事を爲たり然ども是等の羊群は何を爲たるや請ふ爾の手を我とわが父の家に對たまへと
18 And Gad comes to David on that day and says to him, “Go up, raise an altar to YHWH in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite”;
此日ガデ、ダビデの所にいたりてかれにいひけるは上りてヱブス人アラウナの禾場にてヱホバに壇を建よ
19 and David goes up, according to the word of Gad, as YHWH commanded.
ダビデ、ガデの言に隨ひヱホバの命じたまひしごとくのぼれり
20 And Araunah looks, and sees the king and his servants passing over to him, and Araunah goes out and bows himself to the king [with] his face to the earth.
アラウナ觀望て王と其臣僕の己の方に進み來るを見アラウナ出て王のまへに地に伏て拝せり
21 And Araunah says, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” And David says, “To buy the threshing-floor from you, to build an altar to YHWH, and the plague is restrained from the people.”
かくてアラウナいひけるは何に因てか王わが主僕の所にきませるやダビデひけるは汝より禾場を買ひとりヱホバに壇を築きて民に降る災をとどめんとてなり
22 And Araunah says to David, “Let my lord the king take [it] and cause that which is good in his eyes to ascend; see, [here are] the oxen for a burnt-offering, and the threshing instruments, and the instruments of the oxen, for wood”;
アラウナ、ダビデにいひけるはねがはくは王わが主其目に善と見ゆるものを取て献げたまへ燔祭には牛あり薪には打禾車と牛の器ありと
23 Araunah has given the whole [as] a king to a king; and Araunah says to the king, “Your God YHWH accepts you.”
アラリナこれを悉く王に奉呈ぐアラウナ又王にねがはくは爾の神ヱホバ爾を受納たまはんことをといふ
24 And the king says to Araunah, “No, for I surely buy from you for a price, and I do not cause burnt-offerings to ascend to my God YHWH for nothing”; and David buys the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver,
王アラウナにいひけるは斯すべからず我必ず値をはらひて爾より買とらん我費なしに燔祭をわが神ヱホバに献ぐることをせじとダビデ銀五十シケルにて禾場と牛を買とれり
25 and David builds an altar to YHWH there, and causes burnt-offerings and peace-offerings to ascend, and YHWH accepts the plea for the land, and the plague is restrained from Israel.
ダビデ其處にてヱホバに壇を築き燔祭と酬恩祭を献げたり是においてヱホバ其地のために祈祷を聽たまひて災のイスラエルに降ること止りぬ
