1 Chronicles 20

1 [In that region], kings usually went [with their armies] to fight [their enemies] (in the springtime/when the cold season ended). But that year, David [did not do that. Instead, he] stayed in Jerusalem, and he sent [his commander] Joab [to lead the army]. Joab took his troops. They [crossed the Jordan River and] ruined the land of the Ammon people-group. Then they went to Rabbah, [the capital city, ] and surrounded it. David stayed in Jerusalem [for a while. But later he took more troops and went to help] Joab. Their armies attacked Rabbah and destroyed it.

年かへりて王等の戰爭に出る時におよびてヨアブ軍勢を率ゐて出でアンモン人の地を打荒し往てラバを攻圍りされどダビデはヱルサレムに止まりたりヨアブつひにラバを撃壞りてこれを滅ぼせり

2 Then David took the crown from the head of the king of Rabbah (OR, from the head of their god Milcom) and put it on his own head. It [was very heavy; it] weighed (75 pounds/34 kg.), and it had many very valuable stones [fastened to it]. They also took many other valuable things from the city.

ダビデ彼らの王の冠冕をその首より取はなしたりしがその金の重を量り見るに一タラントありまたその中に寶石を嵌たるありき之をダビデの首に冠らせたり彼また甚だ衆多の掠取物をその邑より取り

3 Then they brought the people out of the city and forced them to [work for their army, ] using saws and iron picks and axes. David’s soldiers did this in all the cities of the Ammon people-group. Then David and all of his army returned to Jerusalem.

而して彼またその中の民を曳いだし鋸と鐵の打車と斧とをもてこれを斬りダビデ、アンモンの子孫の一切の邑に斯く爲り而してダビデとその民はみなヱルサレムに歸りぬ

4 Later, [David’s army] fought a battle with the army of Philistia, at Gezer [city]. During the battle Sibbecai, from Hushah [clan], killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the Rapha [giants]. So the armies of Philistia were defeated.

この後ゲゼルにおいてペリシテ人と戰爭おこりたりしがその時にホシヤ人シベカイ巨人の子孫の一人なるシバイを殺せり彼等つひに攻伏られき

5 In another battle against the soldiers of Philistia, Elhanan, the son of Jair, killed Lahmi, the [younger] brother of [the giant] Goliath from Gath [town], who had a spear which was as thick as a weaver’s rod.

復ペリシテ人と戰爭ありしがヤイルの子エルハナン、ガテのゴリアテの兄弟ラミを殺せりラミの槍の柄は機の滕の如くなりき

6 There was another battle near Gath. A (huge man/giant) was there who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He was descended from [the] Rapha [giants].

またガテに戰爭ありしが其處に一人の身長き人ありその手の指と足の趾は六宛にして合せて二十四あり彼も巨人の生る者なりき

7 When he made fun of the soldiers of Israel, Jonathan, the son of David’s [older] brother Shimea, killed him.

彼イスラエルを挑みしかばダビデの兄弟シメアの子ヨナタンこれを殺せり

8 Those were some of the descendants of [the] Rapha [giants] who had lived in Gath, who were killed [MTY] by David and his soldiers.

是等はガテにて巨人の生る者なりしがダビデの手とその臣僕の手に斃れたり
