2 Samuel 15
1 After this, Absalom prepared a chariot and horses for himself, and fifty men to run before him.
此後アブサロム己のために戰車と馬ならびに己のまへに驅る者五十人を備たり
2 Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate. When any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him, and said, “What city are you from?” He said, “Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.”
アブサロム夙く興きて門の途の傍にたち人の訴訟ありて王に裁判を求めんとて來る時はアブサロム其人を呼ていふ爾は何の邑の者なるやと其人僕はイスラエルの某の支派の者なりといへば
3 Absalom said to him, “Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you.”
アブサロム其人にいふ見よ爾の事は善くまた正し然ど爾に聽くべき人は王いまだ立ずと
4 Absalom said moreover, “Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!”
アブサロム又嗚呼我を此地の士師となす者もがな然れば凡て訴訟と公事ある者は我に來りて我之に公義を爲しあたへんといふ
5 It was so, that when any man came near to bow down to him, he stretched out his hand, took hold of him, and kissed him.
また人彼を拝せんとて近づく時は彼手をのばして其人を扶け之に接吻す
6 Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
アブサロム凡て王に裁判を求めんとて來るイスラエル人に是のごとくなせり斯アブサロムはイスラエルの人々の心を取り
7 At the end of forty years, Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to the LORD, in Hebron.
斯て四年の後アブサロム王にいひけるは請ふ我をして往てヘブロンにてヱホバに我嘗て立し願を果さしめよ
8 For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Syria, saying, ‘If the LORD shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD.’”
其は僕スリアのゲシユルに居し時願を立て若しヱホバ誠に我をエルサレムに携歸りたまはば我ヱホバに事へんと言たればなりと
9 The king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he arose and went to Hebron.
王かれにいひけるは安然に往けと彼すなはち起てヘブロンに往り
10 But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the shofar, then you shall say, ‘Absalom is king in Hebron!’”
しかしてアブサロム窺ふ者をイスラエルの支派の中に徧く遣はして言せけるは爾等喇叭の音を聞ばアブサロム、ヘブロンにて王となれりと思ふべしと
11 Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they didn’t know anything.
二百人の招かれたる者エルサレムよりアブサロムとともにゆけり彼らは何心なくゆきて何事をもしらざりき
12 Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. The conspiracy was strong, for the people increased continually with Absalom.
アブサロム犠牲をささぐる時にダビデの議官ギロ人アヒトペルを其邑ギロより呼よせたり徒黨強くして民次第にアブサロムに加はりぬ
13 A messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.”
爰に使者ダビデに來りてイスラエルの人の心アブサロムにしたがふといふ
14 David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise! Let’s flee, or else none of us will escape from Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest he overtake us quickly and bring down evil on us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”
ダビデおのれと共にエルサレムに居る凡ての僕にいひけるは起てよ我ら逃ん然らずば我らアブサロムより遁るるあたはざるべし急ぎ往け恐らくは彼急ぎて我らに追ひつき我儕に害を蒙らせ刃をもて邑を撃ん
15 The king’s servants said to the king, “Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses.”
王の僕等王にいひけるは視よ僕等王わが主の選むところを凡て爲ん
16 The king went out, and all his household after him. The king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.
王いでゆき其全家これにしたがふ王十人の妾なる婦を遺して家をまもらしむ
17 The king went out, and all the people after him; and they stayed in Beth Merhak.
王いでゆき民みな之にしたがふ彼等遠の家に息めり
18 All his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
かれの僕等みな其傍に進みケレテ人とペレテ人および彼にしたがひてガテよりきたれる六百人のガテ人みな王のまへに進めり
19 Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why do you also go with us? Return, and stay with the king; for you are a foreigner and also an exile. Return to your own place.
時に王がガテ人イツタイにいひけるは何ゆゑに爾もまた我らとともにゆくや爾かへりて王とともにをれ爾は外國人にして移住て處をもとむる者なり
20 Whereas you came but yesterday, should I today make you go up and down with us, since I go where I may? Return, and take back your brothers. Mercy and truth be with you.”
爾は昨日來れり我は今日わが得るところに往くなれば豈爾をして我らとともにさまよはしむべけんや爾歸り爾の兄弟をも携歸るべしねがはくは恩と眞實爾とともにあれ
21 Ittai answered the king and said, “As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king is, whether for death or for life, your servant will be there also.”
イツタイ王に答へていひけるはヱホバは活く王わが主は活く誠に王わが主いかなる處に坐すとも生死ともに僕もまた其處に居るべし
22 David said to Ittai, “Go and pass over.” Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones who were with him.
ダビデ、イツタイにいひけるは進みゆけガテ人イツタイ乃ち進みかれのすべての從者およびかれとともにある妻子皆進めり
23 All the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over. The king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over toward the way of the wilderness.
國中皆大聲をあげて哭き民皆進む王もまたキデロン川を渡りて進み民皆進みて野の道におもむけり
24 Behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down God’s ark; and Abiathar went up until all the people finished passing out of the city.
視よザドクおよび倶にあるレビ人もまた皆神の契約の櫃を舁ていたり神の櫃をおろして民の悉く邑よりいづるをまてりアビヤタルもまたのぼれり
25 The king said to Zadok, “Carry God’s ark back into the city. If I find favor in the LORD’s eyes, he will bring me again, and show me both it and his habitation;
ここに王ザドクにいひけるは神の櫃を邑に舁もどせ若し我ヱホバのまへに恩をうるならばヱホバ我を携かへりて我にこれを見し其往處を見したまはん
26 but if he says, ‘I have no delight in you,’ behold, here I am. Let him do to me as seems good to him.”
されどヱホバもし汝を悦ばずと斯いひたまはば視よ我は此にあり其目に善と見ゆるところを我になしたまへ
27 The king said also to Zadok the priest, “Aren’t you a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
王また祭司ザドクにいひけるは汝先見者汝らの二人の子即ち汝の子アヒマアズとアビヤタルの子ヨナタンを伴ひて安然に城邑に歸れ
28 Behold, I will stay at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”
見よ我は汝より言のきたりて我に告るまで野の渡場に留まらんと
29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried God’s ark to Jerusalem again; and they stayed there.
ザドクとアビヤタルすなはち神の櫃をエルサレムに舁もどりて彼處に止まれり
30 David went up by the ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered and went barefoot. All the people who were with him each covered his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
ここにダビデ橄欖山の路を陟りしが陟るときに哭き其首を蒙みて跣足にて行りかれと倶にある民皆各其首を蒙みてのぼり哭つつのぼれり
31 Someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” David said, “LORD, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.”
時にアヒトペルがアブサロムに與せる者の中にあることダビデに聞えければダビデいふヱホバねがはくはアヒトペルの計策を愚ならしめたまへと
32 When David had come to the top, where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his tunic torn and earth on his head.
ダビデ嶺にある神を拝する處に至れる時視よアルキ人ホシヤイ衣を裂き土を頭にかむりてきたりてダビデを迎ふ
33 David said to him, “If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me;
ダビデかれにいひけるは爾若し我とともに進まば我の負となるべし
34 but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king. As I have been your father’s servant in time past, so I will now be your servant; then will you defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.’
されど汝もし城邑にかへりてアブサロムにむかひ王よ我爾の僕となるべし此まで爾の父の僕たりしごとく今また汝の僕となるべしといはば爾はわがためにアヒトペルの計策を敗るにいたらん
35 Don’t you have Zadok and Abiathar the priests there with you? Therefore whatever you hear out of the king’s house, tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
祭司ザドクとアビヤタル爾とともに彼處にあるにあらずや是故に爾が王の家より聞たる事はことごとく祭司ザドクとアビヤタルに告べし
36 Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son. Send to me everything that you shall hear by them.”
視よかれらとともに彼處にはその二人の子即ちザドクの子アヒマアズとアビヤタルの子ヨナタンをるなり爾ら其聞たる事をことごとく彼等の手によりて我に通ずべし
37 So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
ダビデの友ホシヤイすなはち城邑にいたりぬ時にアブサロムはエルサレムに入居たり
