1 Kings 2

1 Now the days of David drew near that he should die; and he commanded Solomon his son, saying,

ダビデ死ぬる日近よりければ其子ソロモンに命じていふ

2 "I am going the way of all the earth. You be strong therefore, and show yourself a man;

我は世人の皆往く途に往んとす汝は強く丈夫のごとく爲れ

3 and keep the instruction of the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, his commandments, his ordinances, and his testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do, and wherever you turn yourself.

汝の神ヱホバの職守を守り其道に歩行み其法憲と其誡命と其律例と其證言とをモーセの律法に録されたるごとく守るべし然らば汝凡て汝の爲ところと凡て汝の向ふところにて榮ゆべし

4 That the LORD may establish his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, 'If your children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail you,' he said, 'a man on the throne of Israel.'

又ヱホバは其甞に我の事に付て語りて若汝の子等其道を愼み心を盡し精神を盡して眞實をもて吾前に歩ばイスラエルの位に上る人汝に缺ることなかるべしと言たまひし言を堅したまはん

5 "Moreover you know also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, even what he did to the two commanders of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed, avenging the blood of war in peacetime, and put the blood of war on my belt that was about my waist, and on my sandal that was on my foot.

又汝はゼルヤの子ヨアブが我に爲たる事即ち彼がイスラエルの二人の軍の長ネルの子アブネルとヱテルの子アマサに爲たる事を知る彼此二人を切殺し太平の時に戰の血を流し戰の血を己の腰の周圍の帶と其足の履に染たり

6 Do therefore according to your wisdom, and do not let his gray head go down to Sheol in peace. (Sheol h7585)

故に汝の智慧にしたがひて事を爲し其白髮を安然に墓に下らしむるなかれ (Sheol h7585)

7 But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those who eat at your table; for so they came to me when I fled from Absalom your brother.

但しギレアデ人バルジライの子等には恩惠を施こし彼等をして汝の席にて食ふ者の中にあらしめよ彼等はわが汝の兄弟アブサロムの面を避て逃し時我に就たるなり

8 "Look, there is with you Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by the LORD, saying, 'I will not put you to death with the sword.'

視よ又バホリムのベニヤミン人ゲラの子シメイ汝とともに在り彼はわがマナハイムに往し時勵しき詛言をもて我を詛へり然ども彼ヨルダンに下りて我を迎へたれば我ヱホバを指て誓ひて我劍をもて汝を殺さじといへり

9 Now therefore do not hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man; and you will know what you ought to do to him, and you shall bring his gray head down to Sheol with blood." (Sheol h7585)

然りといへども彼を辜なき者とする勿れ汝は智慧ある人なれば彼に爲べき事を知るなり血を流して其白髮を墓に下すべしと (Sheol h7585)

10 David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David.

斯てダビデは其父祖と偕に寝りてダビデの城に葬らる

11 The days that David reigned over Israel were forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

ダビデのイスラエルに王たりし日は四十年なりき即ちヘブロンにて王たりし事七年エルサレムにて王たりし事三十三年

12 Solomon sat on the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was firmly established.

ソロモン其父ダビデの位に坐し其國は堅固く定まりぬ

13 Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, and did homage to her. And she said, "Do you come peaceably?" And he said, "Peaceably."

爰にハギテの子アドニヤ、ソロモンの母バテシバの所に來りければバテシバいひけるは汝は平穩なる事のために來るや彼いふ平穩たる事のためなり

14 He said moreover, "I have something to tell you." She said, "Say on."

彼又いふ我は汝に言さんとする事ありとバテシバいふ言されよ

15 He said, "You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign. However the kingdom is turned around, and has become my brother's; for it was his from the LORD.

かれいひけるは汝の知ごとく國は我の有にしてイスラエル皆其面を我に向て王となさんと爲りしかるに國は轉てわが兄弟の有となれり其彼の有となれるはヱホバより出たるなり

16 Now I ask one petition of you. Do not deny me." She said to him, "Say on."

今我一の願を汝に求む請ふわが面を黜くるなかれバテシバかれにいひけるは言されよ

17 He said, "Please speak to Solomon the king (for he will not tell you 'no'), that he give me Abishag the Shunammite as wife."

彼いひけるは請ふソロモン王に言て彼をしてシエナミ人アビシヤグを我に與て妻となさしめよ彼は汝の面を黜けざるべければなり

18 Bathsheba said, "Alright. I will speak for you to the king."

バテシバいふ善し我汝のために王に言んと

19 Bathsheba therefore went to king Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. The king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself to her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.

かくてバテシバ、アドニヤのために言とてソロモン王の許に至りければ王起てかれを迎へ彼を拝して其位に坐なほり王母のために座を設けしむ乃ち其右に坐せり

20 Then she said, "I ask one small petition of you; do not deny me." The king said to her, "Ask on, my mother; for I will not deny you."

しかしてバテシバいひけるは我一の細小き願を汝に求むわが面を黜くるなかれ王かれにいひけるは母上よ求めたまへ我汝の面を黜けざるなり

21 She said, "Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother as wife."

彼いひけるは請ふシユナミ人アビシヤグをアドニヤに與て妻となさしめよ

22 King Solomon answered his mother, "Why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also. For he is my elder brother. For him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah."

ソロモン王答て其母にいひけるは何ぞアドニヤのためにシユナミ人アビシヤグを求めらるるや彼のために國をも求められよ彼は我の兄なればなり彼と祭司アビヤタルとゼルヤの子ヨアブのために求められよと

23 Then king Solomon swore by the LORD, saying, "God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life.

ソロモン王乃ちヱホバを指て誓ひていふ神我に斯なし又重ねて斯なしたまへアドニヤは其身の生命を喪はんとて此言を言いだせり

24 Now therefore as the LORD lives, who has established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house, as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death this day."

我を立てわが父ダビデの位に上しめ其約せしごとく我に家を建たまひしヱホバは生くアドニヤは今日戮さるべしと

25 King Solomon sent by Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell on him, so that he died.

ソロモン王ヱホヤダの子ベナヤを遣はしければ彼アドニヤを撃て死しめたり

26 To Abiathar the priest the king said, "Go to Anathoth, to your own fields; for you are worthy of death. But I will not at this time put you to death, because you bore the ark of the LORD before David my father, and because you were afflicted in all in which my father was afflicted."

王また祭司アビヤタルにいひけるは汝の故田アナトテにいたれ汝は死に當る者なれども嚮にわが父ダビデのまへに神ヱホバの櫃を舁き又凡てわが父の艱難を受たる處にて汝も艱難を受たれば我今日は汝を戮さじと

27 So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest to the LORD, that he might fulfill the word of the LORD, which he spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

ソロモン、アビヤタルを逐いだしてヱホバの祭司たらしめざりき斯ヱホバがシロにてエリの家につきて言たまひし言應たり

28 The news came to Joab; for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he did not turn after Absalom. Joab fled to the Tent of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

爰に其風聞ヨアブに達りければヨアブ、ヱホバの幕屋に遁れて壇の角を執たり其はヨアブは轉てアブサロムには隨はざりしかどもアドニヤに隨ひたればなり

29 It was told king Solomon, "Joab has fled to the Tent of the LORD, and look, he is by the altar." And Solomon sent to Joab, saying, "What happened to you, that you have fled to the altar?" And Joab said, "Because I was afraid of you, so I fled to the LORD." And Solomon sent to Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, "Go, fall on him."

ヨアブがヱホバの幕屋に遁れて壇の傍に居ることソロモンに聞えければソロモン、ヱホヤダの子ベナヤを遣はしいひけるは往て彼を撃てと

30 Benaiah came to the Tent of the LORD, and said to him, "Thus says the king, 'Come forth.'" He said, "No; but I will die here." Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, "Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me."

ベナヤ乃ちヱホバの幕屋にいたり彼にいひけるは王斯言ふ出來れ彼いひけるは否我は此に死んとベナヤ反て王に告てヨアブ斯言ひ斯我に答へたりと言ふ

31 The king said to him, "Do as he has said, and fall on him, and bury him; that you may take away this day the innocent blood which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father's house.

王ベナヤにいひけるは彼が言ふごとく爲し彼を撃て葬りヨアブが故なくして流したる血を我とわが父の家より除去べし

32 The LORD will return his blood on his own head, because he fell on two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword, and my father David did not know it: Abner the son of Ner, commander of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah.

又ヱホバはヨアブの血を其身の首に歸したまふべし其は彼は己よりも義く且善りし二の人を撃ち劍をもてこれを殺したればなり即ちイスラエルの軍の長ネルの子アブネルとユダの軍の長ヱテルの子アマサを殺せり然るに吾父ダビデは與り知ざりき

33 So shall their blood return on the head of Joab, and on the head of his descendants forever. But to David, and to his descendants, and to his house, and to his throne, there shall be peace forever from the LORD."

されば彼等の血は長久にヨアブの首と其苗裔の首に皈すべし然どダビデと其苗裔と其家と其位にはヱホバよりの平安永久にあるべし

34 Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell on him, and killed him; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.

ヱホヤダの子ベナヤすなはち上りて彼を撃ち彼を殺せり彼は野にある己の家に葬らる

35 The king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his place over the army; and the king put Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar.

王乃ちヱホヤダの子ベナヤをヨアブに代て軍の長となせり王また祭司ザドクをしてアビヤタルに代しめたり

36 The king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, "Build yourself a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and do not go out from there anywhere.

又王人を遣てシメイを召て之に曰けるはエルサレムに於て汝の爲に家を建て其處に住み其處より此にも彼にも出るなかれ

37 For on the day you go out, and pass over the wadi of the Kidron, know for certain that you shall surely die: your blood shall be on your own head."

汝が出てキデロン川を濟る日には汝確に知れ汝必ず戮さるべし汝の血は汝の首に歸せん

38 Shimei said to the king, "The saying is good. As my lord the king has said, so will your servant do." Shimei lived in Jerusalem many days.

シメイ王にいひけるは此言は善し王わが主の言たまへるごとく僕然なすべしと斯シメイ日久しくエルサレムに住り

39 It happened at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. They told Shimei, saying, "Look, your servants are in Gath."

三年の後シメイの二人の僕ガテの王マアカの子アキシの所に逃されり人々シメイに告ていふ視よ汝の僕はガテにありと

40 Shimei arose, and saddled his donkey, and went to Gath to Achish, to seek his servants; and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.

シメイ乃ち起て其驢馬に鞍置きガテに往てアキシに至り其僕を尋ねたり即ちシメイ往て其僕をガテより携來りしが

41 It was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had come again.

シメイのエルサレムよりガテにゆきて歸しことソロモンに聞えければ

42 The king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, "Did I not adjure you by the LORD, and warn you, saying, 'Know for certain, that on the day you go out, and walk abroad any where, you shall surely die?' You said to me, 'The saying that I have heard is good.'

王人を遣てシメイを召て之にいひけるは我汝をしてヱホバを指て誓しめ且汝を戒めて汝確に知れ汝が出て此彼に歩く日には汝必ず戮さるべしと言しにあらずや又汝は我に我聞る言葉は善しといへり

43 Why then have you not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have instructed you with?"

しかるに汝なんぞヱホバの誓とわが汝に命じたる命令を守ざりしや

44 The king said moreover to Shimei, "You know all the wickedness which your heart is privy to, that you did to David my father. Therefore the LORD shall return your wickedness on your own head.

王又シメイにいひけるは汝は凡て汝の心の知る諸の惡即ち汝がわが父ダビデに爲たる所を知るヱホバ汝の惡を汝の首に歸したまふ

45 But king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD forever."

されどソロモン王は福祉を蒙らんまたダビデの位は永久にヱホバのまへに固く立べしと

46 So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he went out, and fell on him, so that he died. The kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.

王ヱホヤダの子ベナヤに命じければ彼出てシメイを撃ちて死しめたりしかして國はソロモンの手に固く立り
