2 Samuel 15
1 Then, after these things, Absalom obtained for himself chariots, and horsemen, and fifty men who went 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 And rising up in the morning, Absalom was standing beside the entrance of the gate. And when there was any man who had a dispute that might go before the king’s judgment, Absalom would call him to him, and would say, “Which city are you from?” And responding, he would say, “I am your servant, from a certain tribe 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 And Absalom would answer him: “Your words seem good and just to me. But there is no one appointed by the king to hear you.” And Absalom would say:
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 “Who may appoint me judge over the land, so that all those who have a dispute might come to me, and I might judge justly.”
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 Then too, when a man would draw near to him, so that he might greet him, he would extend his hand, and taking hold of him, he would kiss 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 And he was doing this to all those of Israel arriving for judgment to be heard by the king. And he solicited 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 Then, after forty years, Absalom said to king David: “I should go and pay my vows, which I have vowed to the Lord at 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 made a vow, when he was in Geshur of Syria, saying: If the Lord will lead me back to Jerusalem, I will sacrifice to 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 And king David said to him, “Go in peace.” And he rose up and went away 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 Then Absalom sent scouts into all the tribes of Israel, saying: “As soon as you hear the blare of the trumpet, say: ‘Absalom reigns 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 Now having been called, two hundred men from Jerusalem went forth with Absalom, going in simplicity of heart and being entirely ignorant of the plan.
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 also summoned Ahithophel the Gilonite, a counselor of David, from his city, Giloh. And when he was immolating victims, a very strong oath was sworn, and the people, hurrying together, joined 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 Then a messenger went to David, saying, “With their whole heart, all of Israel is following 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 And David said to his servants, who were with him in Jerusalem: “Rise up, let us flee! For otherwise there will be no escape for us from the face of Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest perhaps, upon arriving, he may seize us, and force ruin upon 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 And the servants of the king said to him, “Everything whatsoever that our lord the king will command, we your servants shall carry out willingly.”
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 Therefore, the king departed, with his entire household on foot. And the king left behind ten women of the concubines to care for 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 And having gone forth on foot, the king and all of Israel stood at a distance from the house.
王いでゆき民みな之にしたがふ彼等遠の家に息めり
18 And all his servants were walking beside him. And the legions of the Cerethites and Phelethites, and all the Gittites, powerful fighters, six hundred men who had followed him from Gath on foot, were preceding 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 come with us? Return and live with the king. For you are a stranger, and you departed from 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 You arrived yesterday. And today should you be compelled to go away with us? For I should go to the place where I am going. But you should return, and lead your own brothers back with you. And the Lord will show mercy and truth to you, because you have shown grace and faith.”
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 And Ittai responded to the king, by saying, “As the Lord lives, and as my lord the king lives, in whatever place you will be, my lord the king, whether in death or in life, your servant will be there.”
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 And David said to Ittai, “Come, and pass over.” And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all the men who were with him, and the rest of the multitude.
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 And they all wept with a great voice, and all the people passed over. The king also passed over the torrent Kidron. And all the people advanced opposite the way which looks out toward the desert.
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 Now Zadok the priest also went, and all the Levites went with him, carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God. And Abiathar went up, until all the people who had departed from the city had gone by.
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 And the king said to Zadok: “Carry back the ark of God into the city. If I shall find grace in the sight of the Lord, he will lead me back. And he will show it to me in his tabernacle.
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 will say to me, ‘You are not pleasing,’ I am ready. Let him do whatever is good in his own sight.”
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 And the king said to Zadok the priest: “O seer, return into the city in peace. And let your son Ahimaaz, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar, your two sons, be with you.
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 hide in the plains of the desert, until word from you may arrive 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 Therefore, Zadok and Abiathar carried back the ark of God into Jerusalem, and they remained 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 But David ascended to the Mount of Olives, climbing and weeping, advancing with bare feet and with his head covered. Moreover, all the people who were with him ascended, weeping with their heads covered.
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 Then it was reported to David that Ahithophel also had joined in swearing with Absalom. And David said, “O Lord, I beg you, to uncover the foolishness of the counsel of Ahithophel.”
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 And when David had ascended to the summit of the mountain, where he was going to adore the Lord, behold Hushai the Archite met him, with his garment torn and his head covered with soil.
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 And David said to him: “If you come with me, 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 you say to Absalom, ‘I am your servant, O king; just as I have been the servant of your father, so too will I be your servant,’ you will destroy 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 And you have with you the priests Zadok and Abiathar. And any word whatsoever that you will hear from the house of the king, you shall reveal 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 Now with them are their two sons Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar. And you shall send to me by them every word that you will have heard.”
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 Therefore, Hushai, the friend of David, went into the city. And Absalom also entered 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
