歴代誌Ⅰ 17

1 ダビデその家に住にいたりてダビデ預言者ナタンに言けるは觀よ我は香柏の家に住む然れどもヱホバの契約の櫃は幕の下にありと

It happened, when David lived in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, "Look, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of Jehovah is under curtains."

2 ナタン、ダビデに言けるは神なんぢとともに在せば凡て汝の心にある所を爲せ

Nathan said to David, "Do all that is in your heart; for God is with you."

3 その夜神の言ナタンに臨みて曰く

It happened the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

4 往てわが僕ダビデに言へヱホバかく言ふ汝は我ために我の住べき家を建べからず

"Go and tell David my servant, 'Thus says Jehovah, "You shall not build me a house to dwell in;

5 我はイスラエルを導びき上りし日より今日にいたるまで家に住しこと無して但幕屋より幕屋に移り天幕より天幕に遷れり

for I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day, but have gone about from tent to tent, and from tabernacle to tabernacle.

6 我イスラエルの人々と共に歩みたる處々にて我わが民を牧養ふことを命じたるイスラエルの士師の一人にもなんぢ何故に香柏の家を我ために建ざるやと一言にても言し事ありや

In all places in which I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, 'Why have you not built me a house of cedar?'"'

7 然ば汝わが僕ダビデに斯言べし萬軍のヱホバかく言ふ我なんぢを牧場より取り羊に隨がふ處より取て我民イスラエルの君長と爲し

"Now therefore, you shall tell my servant David, 'Thus says Jehovah of hosts, "I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people Israel.

8 汝が凡て往る處にて汝と偕にあり汝の諸の敵を汝の前より斷されり我また世の中の大なる人の名のごとき名を汝に得させん

I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.

9 かつ我わが民イスラエルのために處を定めて彼らを植つけ彼らをして自己の處に住て重て動くこと無らしめん

I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the first,

10 又惡人昔のごとく即ち我民イスラエルの上に士師を立たる時より已來のごとく重ねて彼らを荒すこと無るべし我汝の諸の敵を圧服ん且今我汝に告ぐヱホバまた汝のために家を建ん

and from the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that Jehovah will build you a house.

11 汝の日の滿汝ゆきて先祖等と偕になる時は我汝の生る汝の子を汝の後に立て且その國を堅うせん

And it will come about when your days are fulfilled, when you must go to be with your fathers, that I will raise up your descendant after you, who shall be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

12 彼わが爲に家を建ん我ながく彼の位を堅うせん

He will build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.

13 我は彼の父となり彼はわが子となるべし我は汝の先にありし者より取たるごとくに彼よりは我恩惠を取さらじ

I will be his father, and he shall be my son. I will not take my loving kindness away from him, as I took it from him that was before you;

14 却て我かれを永く我家に我國に居置ん彼の位は何時までも堅く立べし

but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever. His throne shall be established forever."'"

15 ナタン凡て是等の言のごとく凡てこの異象のごとくダビデに語りければ

According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

16 ダビデ王入てヱホバの前に坐して言けるはヱホバ神よ我は誰わが家は何なれば汝此まで我を導きたまひしや

Then king David went in and sat before Jehovah and said, "Who am I, Jehovah God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?

17 神よ是はなほ汝の目には小き事たりヱホバ神よ汝はまた僕の家の遥後の事を語り高き者のごとくに我を見俲たまへり

This was a small thing in your eyes, God, but you have spoken of your servant's house for a great while to come, and you have let me look upon the generation of humankind to come, Jehovah God.

18 僕の名譽についてはダビデこの上何をか汝に望むべけん汝は僕を知たまふなり

What can David say yet more to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your servant, Jehovah.

19 ヱホバよ汝は僕のため又なんぢの心に循ひて此もろもろの大なる事を爲し此すべての大なる事を示たまへり

For your servant's sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make known to your servant all these great things.

20 ヱホバよ我らが凡て耳に聞る所に依ば汝のごとき者は無くまた汝の外に神は無し

Jehovah, there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

21 地の何の國か汝の民イスラエルに如ん是は在昔神の往て贖ひて己の民となして大なる畏るべき事を行なひて名を得たまひし者なり汝はそのエジプトより贖ひいだせし汝の民の前より國々の人を逐はらひたまへり

And who is like your people Israel, the one nation on earth whom God went out to redeem to be a people for himself, to make a name for yourself by great and awesome deeds, by driving out from before your people, whom you redeemed out of Egypt, a nation and its gods?

22 而して汝は汝の民イスラエルを永く汝の民となしたまふヱホバよ汝は彼らの神となりたまへり

And you made your people Israel for yourself to be your people forever; and you, Jehovah, became their God.

23 然ばヱホバよ汝が僕とその家につきて宣まひし言を永く堅うして汝の言し如く爲たまへ

Now, Jehovah, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, be established forever, and do as you have spoken.

24 願くは汝の名の堅く立ち永久に崇められて萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神はイスラエルに神たりと曰れんことを願くは僕ダビデの家の汝の前に堅く立んことを

Let your name be established and magnified forever, saying, 'Jehovah of hosts is the God of Israel,' and the house of David your servant is established before you.

25 我神よ汝は僕の耳に示して之が爲に家を建んと宣へり是によりて僕なんぢの前に祈る道を得たり

For you have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. Therefore your servant has found courage to pray before you.

26 ヱホバよ汝は即ち神にましまし此恩典を僕に傳たまへり

Now, Jehovah, you are God, and have promised this good thing to your servant.

27 願くは今僕の家を祝福て汝の前に永く在しめたまへ其はヱホバよ汝の祝福たまへる者は永く祝福を蒙ればなり

Now it has pleased you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Jehovah, have blessed, and it is blessed forever."
