2 Samuel 23
1 David, the son of Jesse, was a man whom [God caused to] become great. He was appointed to become king by the God whom Jacob [worshiped]. He wrote beautiful songs for the Israeli people. This is the last song that he wrote:
ダビデの最後の言は是なりヱサイの子ダビデの詔言即ち高く擧られし人ヤコブの神に膏をそそがれし者イスラエルの善き歌人の詔言
2 “The Spirit of Yahweh tells me what to say; the message that I speak [MTY] comes from him.
ヱホバの霊わが中にありて言たまふ其諭言わが舌にあり
3 God, the one whom we Israeli [people worship], has spoken; the one who protects us Israeli people said to me, ‘Kings who rule people justly have an awesome respect for me, God.
イスラエルの神いひたまふイスラエルの磐われに語たまふ人を正く治むる者神を畏れて治むる者は
4 They are like the sun that shines at dawn and causes the grass to [sprout/sparkle] after the rain ends.’
日の出の朝の光のごとく雲なき朝のごとく又雨の後の日の光明によりて地に茁いづる新草ごとし
5 And truly, that is how God will surely bless my family [RHQ] because he made an agreement with me that will endure forever, an agreement in which he promises that no part of it will ever be changed. He will surely cause me to prosper [RHQ], and he will always help me, and that is all that I desire.
わが家かく神とともにあるにあらずや神萬具備りて鞏固なる永久の契約を我になしたまへり吾が救と喜を皆いかで生ぜしめたまはざらんや
6 But [he will get rid of] godless/evil people like [SIM] people throw away thorns that [injure people if they try to] pick them up with their hands.
しかれども邪なる者は荊棘のごとくにして手をもて取がたければ皆ともにすてられん
7 Someone [who wants to get rid of thornbushes] does not grab them; he uses an iron [shovel] or a spear [to dig them out] and then he burns them completely.
之にふるる人は鐵と槍の柯とを其身に備ふべし是は火にやけて燒たゆるにいたらん
8 These are the names of David’s three greatest warriors. The first was Esh-Baal, [whose other name was Jashobeam], from the Hachmon clan (OR, the son of Hachmon). He was the leader of the three men. One time he fought against 800 enemies and killed them all with his spear.
是等はダビデの勇士の名なりタクモニ人ヤシヨベアムは三人衆の長なりしが一時八百人にむかひて槍を揮ひて之を殺せり
9 The second/next one of the three greatest warriors was Eleazar, who was the son of Dodo from the clan of Ahoh. One day he was with David when they defied/challenged the soldiers of Philistia who had gathered for the battle. The [other] Israeli soldiers retreated,
彼の次はアホア人ドドの子エルアザルにして三勇士の中の者なり彼其處に戰はんとて集まれるペリシテ人にむかひて戰を挑みイスラエルの人々の進みのぼれる時にダビデとともに居たりしが
10 but Eleazar stood there and fought the soldiers of Philistia until his arm became very tired, with the result that [his hand cramped and] he could not stop gripping his sword. Yahweh won a great victory on that day. And afterwards the [other] Israeli soldiers returned [to where Eleazar was], and stripped off the [armor from the men whom he had] killed.
たちてペリシテ人を撃ち終に其手疲て其手劍に固着て離れざるにいたれり此日ヱホバ大なる救拯を行ひたまふ民は彼の跡にしたがひゆきて只褫取而巳なりき
11 The third one of the greatest warriors was Shammah, the son of Agee from [the clan/town of] Harar. One time the Philistia soldiers gathered at Lehi [town], where there was a field full of lentils/peas [that they wanted to steal]. The other Israeli soldiers ran away from the Philistia troops,
彼の次はハラリ人アゲの子シヤンマなり一時ペリシテ人一隊となりて集まれり彼處に扁豆の滿たる地の處あり民ペリシテ人のまへより逃たるに
12 but Shammah stood there in the field and did not let the Philistia soldiers [steal the crops], and killed them. Yahweh won a great victory on that day.
彼其地の中に立て禦ぎペリシテ人を殺せりしかしてヱホバ大なる救拯を行ひたまふ
13 Altogether there were 30 special warriors among David’s soldiers. Once, when it was almost time to harvest [the crops], three of those 30 men went down to Adullam Cave, where David was [staying]. A group of men from the Philistia army had set up their tents in Rephaim Valley [near Jerusalem].
刈穫の時に三十人衆の首長なる三人下りてアドラムの洞穴に往てダビデに詣れり時にペリシテ人の隊レパイムの谷に陣どれり
14 David [and his soldiers] were in the cave [because it was safe there], and [another] group of Philistia soldiers was occupying Bethlehem.
其時ダビデは要害に居りペリシテ人の先陣はベテレヘムにあり
15 [One day] David very much wanted [some water] to drink, and said “I wish that someone would bring me some water from the well near the gate at Bethlehem!”
ダビデ慕ひていひけるは誰かベテレヘムの門にある井の水を我にのましめんかと
16 So his three greatest warriors forced their way through the camp of Philistia soldiers and drew some water from the well, and brought it to David. But he would not drink it. Instead, he poured it out [on the ground] as an offering to Yahweh.
三勇士乃ちペリシテ人の陣を衝き過てベテレヘムの門にある井の水を汲取てダビデの許に携へ來れり然どダビデ之をのむことをせずこれをヱホバのまへに灌ぎて
17 He said, “Yahweh, it would certainly not be right for me to drink this water! That would be like [RHQ] drinking the blood of these men who were willing/ready to die for me!” So he refused to drink it. That was one of the things that those three great warriors did.
いひけるはヱホバよ我決てこれを爲じ是は生命をかけて往し人の血なりと彼これを飮ことを好まざりき三勇士は是等の事を爲り
18 Abishai, Joab’s [younger] brother, was the leader of the 30 [greatest warriors]. [One day] he fought against 300 men and killed them all with his spear. As a result, he also became famous.
ゼルヤの子ヨアブの兄弟アビシヤイは三十人衆の首たり彼三百人にむかひて槍を揮ひて殺せり彼其三十人衆の中に名を得たり
19 He was the most famous of the thirty greatest warriors, and he became their leader/commander, but he was not one of the three greatest warriors.
彼は三十人衆の中の最も尊き者にして彼等の長とたれり然ども三人衆には及ばざりき
20 Jehoiada’s son Benaiah, from Kabzeel [town], also did great deeds. He killed two of the best warriors from the Moab people-group. Also, he went down into a pit on a day when snow was falling, and killed a lion there.
ヱホヤダの子カブジエルのベナヤは勇氣あり多くの功績ありし者なり彼モアブの人の獅子の如きもの二人を撃殺せり彼は亦雪の時に下りて穴の中にて獅子を撃殺せり
21 He also killed a huge soldier from Egypt who carried a spear. Benaiah [had only] his club, but he attacked the giant with it. Then he snatched the spear from the man’s hand and killed him with his own spear.
彼また容貌魁偉たるエジプト人を撃殺せり其エジプト人は手に槍を持たるに彼は杖を執て下りエジプト人の手より槍を捩とりて其槍をもてこれを殺せり
22 Those are [some of] the things that Benaiah did. As a result, he became famous, like the three greatest warriors were.
ヱホヤダの子ベナヤ是等の事を爲し三十勇士の中に名を得たり
23 He was more honored than the other members of the group of thirty great warriors, but not as famous as the three greatest warriors. David appointed him to be the commander of his bodyguards.
彼は三十人衆の中に尊かりしかども三人衆には及ばざりきダビデかれを參議の中に列しむ
