1 Kings 1
1 When King David was very old [IDM, DOU], even though his servants put many blankets on top of him, he was unable to become warm.
爰にダビデ王年邁みて老い寝衣を衣するも温らざりければ
2 So they said to him, “Your Majesty, allow us to search for a young virgin who can stay with you and take care of you. She can sleep close to you and enable you to become warm.”
其臣僕等彼にいひけるは王わが主のために一人の若き處女を求めしめて之をして王のまへにたちて王の左右となり汝の懐に臥て王わが主を暖めしめんと
3 [The king gave them permission, ] so they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful young woman. They found a woman named Abishag, from Shunem [town], and brought her to the king.
彼等乃ちイスラエルの四方の境に美き童女を求めてシユナミ人アビシヤグを得て之を王に携きたれり
4 She was [truly] very beautiful. She took care of [DOU] the king, but the king did not have sexual relations with her.
此童女甚だ美くして王の左右となり王に事たり然ど王之と交はらざりき
5 [After Absalom died], David’s oldest surviving son was Adonijah, whose mother was Haggith. He was a very handsome/good-looking man. But David had never rebuked him about anything he did. [After Absalom died, Adonijah thought that he would become king]. So he started to boast, saying “I will become king [now].” Then he provided for himself some chariots, and men to drive them, and horses [to pull them], and 50 men to run [as his bodyguards] in front of those chariots [wherever he went].
時にハギテの子アドニヤ自ら高くし我は王とならんと言て己のために戰車と騎兵および自己のまへに驅る者五十人を備へたり
其父は彼が生れてより已來汝何故に然するやと言てかれを痛しめし事なかりきアドニヤも亦容貌の甚だ美き者にてアブサロムの次に生れたり
7 One day he conferred with Joab, [David’s army commander], and Abiathar the priest, and they promised/agreed to help/support Adonijah.
彼ゼルヤの子ヨアブおよび祭司アビヤタルと商議ひしかば彼等之に從ひゆきて助けたり
8 But Zadok, who was also a priest, Benaiah [who had supervised David’s bodyguards], Nathan the prophet, Shimei and Rei, and David’s most capable soldiers refused to help/support Adonijah.
されど祭司ザドクとヱホヤダの子ベナヤと預言者ナタンおよびシメイとレイならびにダビデに屬したる勇士はアドニヤに與せざりき
9 One day Adonijah went to Snake Rock near En-Rogel [Spring, which is near Jerusalem], to sacrifice some sheep and oxen and fattened cattle. He invited most of his brothers, King David’s other sons, to come. He also invited all of the king’s officials from Judah to come to the celebration.
アドニヤ、エンロゲルの近邊なるゾヘレテの石の傍にて羊と牛と肥畜を宰りて王の子なる己の兄弟および王の臣僕なるユダの人を盡く請けり
10 But he did not invite Nathan or Benaiah or the king’s most capable soldiers or his [younger/half]-brother Solomon.
されども預言者ナタンとベナヤと勇士とおのれの兄弟ソロモンとをば招かざりき
11 Nathan [found out what they were doing, so he went to] Solomon’s mother Bathsheba [and] asked her, “Have you not heard that Haggith’s son Adonijah is declared himself to be the king? And King David does not know about it!
爰にナタン、ソロモンの母バテシバに語りていひけるは汝ハギテの子アドニヤが王となれるを聞ざるかしかるにわれらの主ダビデはこれを知ざるなり
12 So if you want to save yourself and your son Solomon from being killed, allow me to tell you what you should do.
されば請ふ來れ我汝に計を授て汝をして己の生命と汝の子ソロモンの生命を救しめん
13 Go immediately to King David. Say to him, ‘Your Majesty, you solemnly promised me [RHQ] that my son Solomon would become the king after you [die], and that he would sit on your throne [and rule]. So why is it that Adonijah [has said that he] is now the king?’
汝往てダビデ王の所に入り之にいへ王わが主よ汝は婢に誓ひて汝の子ソロモンは我に継で王となりわが位に坐せんといひたまひしにあらずや然にアドニヤ何故に王となれるやと
14 Then, while you are still talking to the king, I will come in and tell him that what you are saying to him [about Adonijah] is true.”
われまた汝が尚其處にて王と語ふ時に汝に次て入り汝の言を證すべしと
15 So Bathsheba went to see the king in his bedroom. He was very old, and Abishag was taking care of him.
是においてバテシバ寝室に入りて王の所にいたるに王は甚だ老てシユナミ人アビシヤグ王に事へ居たり
16 Bathsheba bowed very low in front of the king, and the king asked her, “What do you want?”
バテシバ躬を鞠め王を拝す王いふ何なるや
17 She replied, “Your Majesty, you solemnly promised me, knowing that Yahweh our God [was listening] [IDM], that my son Solomon would become king after you [die], and that he would sit on your throne [and rule].
かれ王にいひけるはわが主汝は汝の神ヱホバを指て婢に汝の子ソロモンは我に継で王となりわが位に坐せんと誓ひたまへり
18 But now, believe it or not, Adonijah has become king, and you do not know anything about it.
しかるに視よ今アドニヤ王となれり而て王わが主汝は知たまはず
19 He has sacrificed a lot of oxen and fattened cattle and sheep, and he has invited all of your other sons to the celebration. He has also invited Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of your army, but he did not invite your son Solomon.
彼は牛と肥畜と羊を饒く宰りて王の諸子および祭司アビヤタルと軍の長ヨアブを招けりされど汝の僕ソロモンをば招かざりき
20 Your Majesty, all the people [SYN] of Israel are expecting you to tell them who is the one who will become king after you are no longer the king.
汝王わが主よイスラエルの目皆汝に注ぎ汝が彼等に誰が汝に継で王わが主の位に坐すべきを告るを望む
21 If you do not do that, what will happen is that after you die [EUP] people will consider that my son Solomon and I are rebelling, [and they will execute us because we did not help Adonijah to become king].”
王わが主の其父祖と共に寝たまはん時に我とわが子ソロモンは罪人と見做さるるにいたらんと
22 While she was still talking to the king, Nathan came [to the palace].
バテシバ尚王と語ふうちに視よ預言者ナタンも亦入きたりければ
23 The king’s servants/advisors told David, “Nathan the prophet has come.” So [Bathsheba left, and] Nathan went into where the king was and knelt down, with his face on the ground.
人々王に告て預言者ナタン此にありと曰ふ彼王のまへに入り地に伏て王を拝せり
24 Then Nathan said, “Your Majesty, have you declared that Adonijah will become king after you are no longer the king?
しかしてナタンいひけるは王わが主汝はアドニヤ我に継で王となりわが位に坐すべしといひたまひしや
25 [I say that] because today he has gone down [to En-Rogel Spring] and has sacrificed a lot of oxen, fattened cattle, and sheep. And he has invited all of your other sons, Joab the army commander, and Abiathar the priest. They are all eating and drinking with him and saying ‘We hope/desire that King Adonijah will live a long time!’
彼は今日下りて牛と肥畜と羊を饒く宰りて王の諸子と軍の長等と祭司アビヤタルを招けりしかして彼等はアドニヤのまへに飮食してアドニヤ王壽かれと言ふ
26 But he did not invite me or Zadok the priest or Benaiah or Solomon.
されど汝の僕なる我と祭司ザドクとヱホヤダの子ベナヤと汝の僕ソロモンとは彼請かざるなり
27 Did you, as the king, say that they should do this without telling your other officials who you want to become king [MTY] after you are no longer the king?”
此事は王わが主の爲たまふ所なるかしかるに汝誰が汝に継で王わが主の位に坐すべきを僕に知せたまはざるなりと
28 Then [after Nathan left the room, ] King David said [to one of his servants], “Tell Bathsheba to come in here again.” So [he went and told her, and] she came in and stood in front of the king.
ダビデ王答ていふバテシバをわが許に召せと彼乃ち王のまへに入て王のまへにたつに
29 Then the king said, “Yahweh has rescued me from all my troubles. I promised you, with Yahweh the God whom we Israelis [worship] listening, that your son Solomon would be king after I am no longer the king. Today, as surely as Yahweh lives, [I solemnly declare that] I will do what I promised.”
王誓ひていひけるはわが生命を諸の艱難の中に救ひたまひしヱホバは活く
我イスラエルの神ヱホバを指て誓ひて汝の子ソロモン我に継で王となり我に代りてわが位に坐すべしといひしごとくに我今日爲すべしと
31 Bathsheba knelt down with her face on the ground and said, “Your Majesty, I hope/desire that you will live for many more years [HYP]!”
是においてバテシバ躬を鞠め地に伏て王を拝し願くはわが主ダビデ王長久に生ながらへたまへといふ
32 Then King David said, “Summon Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah.” [So someone went and summoned them.] When they came in,
ダビデ王いひけるはわが許に祭司ザドクと預言者ナタンおよびヱホヤダの子ベナヤを召と彼等乃ち王のまへに來る
33 he said to them, “Put my son Solomon on my mule. Take him with my officials down to Gihon [Spring].
王彼等にいひけるは汝等の主の臣僕を伴ひわが子ソロモンをわが身の騾に乗せ彼をギホンに導き下り
34 There, you two, Zadok and Nathan, should anoint him, [with olive oil to appoint him to be] the king of Israel. Then you must blow trumpets, and [all the people there must] shout, ‘We hope/desire that King Solomon will live for many years!’
彼處にて祭司ザドクと預言者ナタンは彼に膏をそそぎてイスラエルの上に王と爲すべししかして汝ら喇叭を吹てソロモン王壽かれと言へ
35 Then follow him back here, and he will come and sit on my throne. He will then become king instead of me. I have appointed him to be the ruler of [all the people of] Israel and of Judah.”
かくして汝ら彼に隨ひて上り來るべし彼は來りてわが位に坐し我に代りて王となるべし我彼を立てイスラエルとユダの上に主君となせりと
36 Benaiah replied, “We will do that! We hope/wish that Yahweh, who is your God [and our God], will cause it to happen!
ヱホヤダの子ベナヤ王に對へていひけるはアメンねがはくは王わが主の神ヱホバ然言たまはんことを
37 King David, Yahweh has helped you; we hope/wish that he will also help Solomon and enable him to become a greater king than you have been.”
ねがはくはヱホバ王わが主とともに在せしごとくソロモンとともに在してその位をわが主ダビデ王の位よりも大ならしめたまはんことを
38 So Zadok, Nathan, Benaiah, and the two groups of men who were the king’s bodyguards went and put Solomon on King David’s mule and escorted him down to Gihon [Spring].
斯て祭司ザドクと預言者ナタンおよびヱホヤダの子ベナヤ並にケレテ人とペレテ人下りソロモンをダビデ王の騾に乗せて之をギホンに導きいたれり
39 There Zadok took the container of [olive] oil from the Sacred Tent and (anointed/poured some oil on) Solomon. Then the trumpets were blown, and all the people shouted, “We hope/wish that King Solomon will live for many years!”
しかして祭司ザドク幕屋の中より膏の角を取てソロモンに膏そそげりかくて喇叭を吹きならし
40 Then all the people followed him back up [to the city], shouting joyfully and playing flutes. They shouted very loudly, with the result that the ground shook.
民みなソロモン王壽かれと言り民みなかれに隨ひ上りて笛を吹き大に喜祝ひ地はかれらの聲にて裂たり
41 When Adonijah and all (his guests/the people whom he had invited) were finishing eating at their celebration, they heard the noise. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpets, he asked, “What is causing all that noise in the city?”
アドニヤおよび彼とともに居たる賓客其食を終たる時に皆これを聞りヨアブ喇叭の聲を聞ていひけるは城邑の中の聲音何ぞ喧囂やと
42 While he was still speaking, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, arrived. Adonijah said, “Come in! You are a man whom we can trust, so you must be bringing us good news!”
彼が言をる間に視よ祭司アビヤタルの子ヨナタン來るアドニヤ彼にいひけるは入よ汝は勇ある人なり嘉音を持きたれるならん
43 Jonathan replied, “No, [I do not have good news]! His Majesty, King David, has caused Solomon to be the king!
ヨナタン答へてアドニヤにいひけるは誠にわが主ダビデ王ソロモンを王となしたまへり
44 He sent Zadok, Nathan, Benaiah, and his own group of bodyguards to go with Solomon. They put Solomon on King David’s mule.
王祭司ザドクと預言者ナタンおよびヱホヤダの子ベナヤ並にケレテ人とペレテ人をソロモンとともに遣したまふ即ち彼等はソロモンを王の騾に乗せてゆき
45 They [went down to] Gihon [Spring], and there Zadok and Nathan anointed him to become the king. Now they have returned from there to the city, shouting joyfully. That is why there is that great/loud noise that you are hearing.
祭司ザドクと預言者ナタン、ギホンにて彼に膏をそそぎて王となせり而して彼等其處より歓て上るが故に城邑は諠囂し汝らが聞る聲音は是なり
46 So Solomon is now our king [MTY].
又ソロモン國の位に坐し
47 Furthermore, the palace officials came to His Majesty, King David, to tell him that they approved of what he had done. They said, ‘We wish/hope that our God will enable Solomon [MTY] to become more famous than you have been and enable him to be a better king than you have been.’ When they said that, the king, lying on his bed, bowed his head to worship [Yahweh].
且王の臣僕來りてわれらの主ダビデ王に祝を陳て願くは汝の神ソロモンの名を汝の名よりも美し其位を汝の位よりも大たらしめたまへと言りしかして王は牀の上にて拝せり
48 Then he said, ‘I praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], because he has allowed one of my sons to become the king today, and has permitted me to see it happen.’”
王また斯いへりイスラエルの神ヱホバはほむべきかなヱホバ今日わが位に坐する者を與たまひてわが目亦これを見るなりと
49 Then all of Adonijah’s guests (trembled/were afraid), so they all immediately got up and left and scattered.
アドニヤとともにある賓客皆驚愕き起て各其途に去りゆけり
50 Adonijah was afraid of what Solomon [would do], so he went [to the Sacred Tent] and grabbed the projections at the corners of the altar, [because he knew that no one would kill him there].
茲にアドニヤ、ソロモンの面を恐れ起て往き壇の角を執へたり
51 But someone told Solomon, “Hey/Listen, Adonijah is afraid of you, so he [has gone to the Sacred Tent and] is holding on to the corners of the altar. He is saying, ‘[Before I leave, ] I want King Solomon to solemnly promise that he will not command that I be executed.’”
或人ソロモンに告ていふアドニヤ、ソロモン王を畏る彼壇の角を執て願くはソロモン王今日我に劍をもて僕を殺じと誓ひ給へと言たりと
52 Solomon replied, “If he proves that he is loyal to me, I will not harm him at all [IDM]. But if he does anything that is wrong, he will be executed.”
ソロモンいひけるは彼もし善人となるならば其髮の毛一すぢも地におちざるべし然ど彼の中に惡の見るあらば死しむべしと
53 So King Solomon sent [some men to Adonijah], and they brought him back from the altar. He came to Solomon and bowed down in front of him. Then Solomon said to him, “Go home.”
ソロモン王乃ち人を遣て彼を壇より携下らしむ彼來りてソロモン王を拝しければソロモン彼に汝の家に往といへり
