2 Samuel 16
1 When David was a little past the top, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him with a couple of donkeys saddled, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, and one hundred clusters of raisins, and one hundred summer fruits, and a container of wine.
ダビデ少しく嶺を過ゆける時視よメピボセテの僕ヂバ鞍おける二頭の驢馬を引き其上にパン二百乾葡萄一百球乾棗の團塊一百酒一嚢を載きたりてダビデを迎ふ
2 The king said to Ziba, “What do you mean by these?” Ziba said, “The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that those who are faint in the wilderness may drink.”
王ヂバにいひけるは此等は何なるかヂバいひけるは驢馬は王の家族の乗るためパンと乾棗は少者の食ふため洒は野に困憊たる者の飮むためなり
3 The king said, “Where is your master’s son?” Ziba said to the king, “Behold, he is staying in Jerusalem; for he said, ‘Today the house of Israel will restore me the kingdom of my father.’”
王いひけるは爾の主人の子は何處にあるやヂバ王にいひけるはかれはエルサレムに止まる其は彼イスラエルの家今日我父の國を我にかへさんと言をればなり
4 Then the king said to Ziba, “Behold, all that belongs to Mephibosheth is yours.” Ziba said, “I bow down. Let me find favor in your sight, my lord, O king.”
王ヂバにいひけるは視よメピボセテの所有は悉く爾の所有となるべしヂバいひけるは我拝す王わが主よ我をして爾のまへに恩を蒙むらしめたまへ
5 When King David came to Bahurim, behold, a man of the family of Saul’s house came out, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera. He came out and cursed as he came.
斯てダビデ王バホリムにいたるに視よ彼處よりサウルの家の族の者一人出きたる其名をシメイといふゲラの子なり彼出きたりて來りつつ詛へり
6 He cast stones at David and at all the servants of King David, and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
又彼ダビデとダビデ王の諸の臣僕にむかひて石を投たり時に民と勇士皆王の左右にあり
7 Shimei said when he cursed, “Be gone, be gone, you man of blood, and wicked fellow!
シメイ詛の中に斯いへり汝血を流す人よ爾邪なる人よ出され出され
8 The LORD has returned on you all the blood of Saul’s house, in whose place you have reigned! The LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son! Behold, you are caught by your own mischief, because you are a man of blood!”
爾が代りて位に登りしサウルの家の血を凡てヱホバ爾に歸したまへりヱホバ國を爾の子アブサロムの手に付したまへり視よ爾は血を流す人なるによりて禍患の中にあるなり
9 Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please let me go over and take off his head.”
ゼルヤの子アビシヤイ王にいひけるは此死たる犬なんぞ王わが主を詛ふべけんや請ふ我をして渉りゆきてかれの首を取しめよ
10 The king said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Because he curses, and because the LORD has said to him, ‘Curse David,’ who then shall say, ‘Why have you done so?’”
王いひけるはゼルヤの子等よ爾らの與るところにあらず彼の詛ふはヱホバ彼にダビデを詛へと言たまひたるによるなれば誰か爾なんぞ然するやと言べけんや
11 David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Behold, my son, who came out of my bowels, seeks my life. How much more this Benjamite, now? Leave him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD has invited him.
ダビデ又アビシヤイおよび己の諸の臣僕にいひけるは視よわが身より出たるわが子わが生命を求む况や此ベニヤミン人をや彼を聽して詛はしめよヱホバ彼に命じたまへるなり
12 It may be that the LORD will look on the wrong done to me, and that the LORD will repay me good for the cursing of me today.”
ヱホバわが艱難を俯視みたまふことあらん又ヱホバ今日彼の詛のために我に善を報いたまふことあらんと
13 So David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hillside opposite him and cursed as he went, threw stones at him, and threw dust.
斯てダビデと其從者途を行けるにシメイはダビデに對へる山の傍に行て行つつ詛ひまた彼にむかひて石を投げ塵を揚たり
14 The king and all the people who were with him arrived weary; and he refreshed himself there.
王および倶にある民皆アエピムに來りて彼處に息をつげり
15 Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
偖アブサロムと總ての民イスラエルの人々エルサレムに至れりアヒトペルもアブサロムとともにいたる
16 When Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, had come to Absalom, Hushai said to Absalom, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”
ダビデの友なるアルキ人ホシヤイ、アブサロムの許に來りし時アブサロムにいふ願くは王壽かれ願くは王壽かれ
17 Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your kindness to your friend? Why did not you go with your friend?”
アブサロム、ホシヤイにいひけるは此は爾が其友に示す厚意なるや爾なんぞ爾の友と往ざるやと
18 Hushai said to Absalom, “No; but whomever the LORD and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, I will be his, and I will stay with him.
ホシヤイ、アブサロムにいひけるは然らずヱホバと此民とイスラエルの總の人々の選む者に我は屬し且其人とともに居るべし
19 Again, whom should I serve? Should not I serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father’s presence, so I will be in your presence.”
且又我誰に事ふべきか其子の前に事べきにあらずや我は爾の父のまへに事しごとく爾のまへに事べし
20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give your counsel what we shall do.”
爰にアブサロム、アヒトベルにいひけるは我儕如何に爲べきか爾等計を爲すべしと
21 Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go in to your father’s concubines that he has left to keep the house. Then all Israel will hear that you are abhorred by your father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be strong.”
アヒトペル、アブサロムにいひけるは爾の父が遺して家を守らしむる妾等の處に入れ然ばイスラエル皆爾が其父に惡まるるを聞ん而して爾とともにをる總の者の手強くなるべしと
22 So they spread a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.
是において屋脊にアブサロムのために天幕を張ければアブサロム、イスラエルの目のまへにて其父の妾等の處に入りぬ
23 The counsel of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man inquired at the inner sanctuary of God. All the counsel of Ahithophel was like this both with David and with Absalom.
當時アヒトペルが謀れる謀計は神の言に問たるごとくなりきアヒトペルの謀計は皆ダビデとアブサロムとに倶に是のごとく見えたりき
