2 Samuel 1
1 Now after the death of Saul, when David, having come back from the destruction of the Amalekites, had been in Ziklag for two days;
サウルの死し後ダビデ、アマレク人を撃てかへりチクラグに二日とどまりけるが
2 On the third day a man came from Saul's tents, with his clothing out of order and earth on his head: and when he came to David, he went down on the earth and gave him honour.
第三日に及びて一個の人其衣を裂き頭に土をかむりて陣營より即ちサウルの所より來りダビデの許にいたり地にふして拝せり
3 And David said to him, Where have you come from? And he said, I have come in flight from the tents of Israel.
ダビデかれにいひけるは汝いづくより來れるやかれダビデにいひけるはイスラエルの陣營より逃れきたれり
4 And David said to him, How did things go? Give me the news. And in answer he said, The people have gone in flight from the fight, and a great number of them are dead; and Saul and his son Jonathan are dead.
ダビデかれにいひけるは事いかん請ふ我につげよかれこたへけるは民戰に敗れて逃げ民おほく仆れて死りまたサウルと其子ヨナタンも死り
5 And David said to the young man who gave him the news, Why are you certain that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?
ダビデ其おのれにつぐる少者にいひけるは汝いかにしてサウルと其子ヨナタンの死たるをしるや
6 And the young man said, I came by chance to Mount Gilboa, and I saw Saul supporting himself on his spear; and the war-carriages and horsemen overtook him.
ダビデにつぐる少者いひけるは我はからずもギルボア山にのぼり見しにサウル其槍に倚かかりをりて戰車と騎兵かれにせめよらんとせり
7 And looking back, he saw me and gave a cry to me. And answering him I said, Here am I.
彼うしろにふりむきて我を見我をよびたれば我こたへて我ここにありといふ
8 And he said to me, Who are you? And I said, I am an Amalekite.
かれ我に汝は誰なるやといひければ我かれにこたへて我はアマレク人なりといふ
9 Then he said to me, Come here to my side, and put me to death, for the pain of death has me in its grip but my life is still strong in me.
かれまた我にいひけるはわが身いたく攣ば請ふ我うへにのりて我をころせわが生命なほわれの中にまつたければなりと
10 So I put my foot on him and gave him his death-blow, because I was certain that he would not go on living after his fall: and I took the crown from his head and the band from his arm, and I have them here for my lord.
我すなはちかれの上にのりてかれを殺したり其は我かれが旣に仆て生ることをえざるをしりたればなりしかして我その首にありし冕とその腕にありし釧を取りてこれをわが主に携へきたれり
11 Then David gave way to bitter grief, and so did all the men who were with him:
是においてダビデおのれの衣を執てこれを裂けりまた彼とともにある者も皆しかせり
12 And till evening they gave themselves to sorrow and weeping, and took no food, weeping for Saul and for Jonathan, his son, and for the people of the Lord and for the men of Israel; because they had come to their end by the sword.
彼等サウルのためまた其子ヨナタンのためまたヱホバの民のためイスラエルの家のために哭きかなしみて晩まで食を斷り其は彼ら劍にたふれたればなり
13 And David said to the young man who had given him the news, Where do you come from? And he said, I am the son of a man from a strange land; I am an Amalekite.
ダビデおのれに告し少者にいひけるは汝は何處の者なるやかれこたへけるは我は他國の人すなはちアマレク人なりと
14 And David said to him, Had you no fear of stretching out your hand to put to death the one marked with the holy oil?
ダビデかれにいひけるは汝なんぞ手をのばしてヱホバの膏そそぎし者をころすことを畏ざりしやと
15 And David sent for one of his young men and said, Go near and put an end to him. And he put him to death.
ダビデ一人の少者をよびていひけるは近よりてかれをころせとすなはちかれをうちければ死り
16 And David said to him, May your blood be on your head; for your mouth has given witness against you, saying, I have put to death the man marked with the holy oil.
ダビデかれにいひけるは汝の血は汝の首に歸せよ其は汝口づから我ヱホバのあぶらそそぎし者をころせりといひて己にむかひて證をたつればなり
17 Then David made this song of grief for Saul and Jonathan, his son:
ダビデ悲歌をもてサウルと其子ヨナタンを吊ふ
18 (It is recorded in the book of Jashar for teaching to the sons of Judah) and he said:
ダビデ命じてこれをユダの族にをしへしむ即ち弓の歌是なり是はヤシル書に記さる
19 The glory, O Israel, is dead on your high places! How have the great ones been made low!
イスラエルよ汝の榮耀は汝の崇邱に殺さる嗚呼勇士は仆れたるかな
20 Give no news of it in Gath, let it not be said in the streets of Ashkelon; or the daughters of the Philistines will be glad, the daughters of men without circumcision will be uplifted in joy.
此事をガテに告るなかれアシケロンの邑に傳るなかれ恐くはペリシテ人の女等喜ばん恐くは割禮を受ざる者の女等樂み祝はん
21 O mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain on you, you fields of death: for there the arms of the strong have been shamed, the arms of Saul, as if he had not been marked with the holy oil.
ギルボアの山よ願は汝の上に雨露降ることあらざれ亦供物の田園もあらざれ其は彼處に勇士の干棄らるればなり即ちサウルの干膏を沃がずして彼處に棄らる
22 From the blood of the dead, from the fat of the strong, the bow of Jonathan was not turned back, the sword of Saul did not come back unused.
殺せし者の血をのまずしてヨナタンの弓は退かず勇士の脂を食ずしてサウルの劍は空く歸らず
23 Saul and Jonathan were loved and pleasing; in their lives and in their death they were not parted; they went more quickly than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
サウルとヨナタンは愛らしく樂げにして生死ともに離れず二人は鷲よりも捷く獅子よりも強かりき
24 O daughters of Israel, have sorrow for Saul, by whom you were delicately clothed in robes of red, with ornaments of gold on your dresses.
イスラエルの女等よサウルのために哀けサウルは絳き衣をもて汝等を華麗に粧ひ金の飾を汝等の衣に着たり
25 How have the great ones been made low in the fight! Jonathan is dead on your high places.
嗚呼勇士は戰の中に仆たるかなヨナタン汝の崇邱に殺されぬ
26 I am full of grief for you, my brother Jonathan: very dear have you been to me: your love for me was a wonder, greater than the love of women.
兄弟ヨナタンよ我汝のために悲慟む汝は大に我に樂き者なりき汝の我をいつくしめる愛は尋常ならず婦の愛にも勝りたり
27 How have the great ones been made low, and the arms of war broken!
嗚呼勇士は仆たるかな戰の具は失たるかな
