2 Samuel 6

1 Then David chose 30,000 Israeli men and gathered them together.

ダビデ再びイスラエルの選抜の兵士三萬人を悉く集む

2 He led them to the place in Judah [formerly] called Baalah, [now called Kiriath-Jearim]. They went in order to bring from there [to Jerusalem] the sacred chest, which had the name of Yahweh, the leader of the armies of [the angels in] heaven, written on it, and which had the [statues of the] winged creatures on top of it. Between those statues was where Yahweh spoke messages about ruling his people [MTY].

ダビデ起ておのれと共にをる民とともにバアレユダに往て神の櫃を其處より舁上らんとす其櫃はケルビムの上に坐したまふ萬軍のヱホバの名をもて呼る

3 The sacred chest was in the house of Abinadab, on top of a hill. They went there, and they put the chest on a new cart. Uzzah and Ahio, the two sons of Abinadab, were guiding [the oxen that were pulling the cart].

すなはち神の櫃を新しき車に載せて山にあるアビナダブの家より舁だせり

4 Uzzah walked alongside the cart, and Ahio walked in front of it.

アビナダブの子ウザとアヒオ神の櫃を載たる其新しき車を御しアヒオは櫃のまへにゆけり

5 David and all the Israeli men were celebrating in God’s presence, singing with all their strength and [playing] lyres and harps, and beating tambourines, and clashing castanets and cymbals.

ダビデおよびイスラエルの全家琴と瑟と鼗と鈴と鐃鈸をもちて力を極め謡を歌ひてヱホバのまへに躍踴れり

6 But when they came to the place where Nacon threshed grain, the oxen stumbled. So Uzzah put his hand on the sacred chest to (steady it/prevent it from falling [off the cart]).

彼等がナコンの禾場にいたれる時ウザ手を神の櫃に伸してこれを扶へたり其は牛振たればなり

7 Yahweh immediately became very angry with Uzzah, and he killed him right there alongside the sacred chest, because he had touched the chest, [and Yahweh had commanded that only the descendants of Levi who help the priests should touch the sacred chest].

ヱホバ、ウザにむかひて怒りを發し其誤謬のために彼を其處に撃ちたまひければ彼そこに神の櫃の傍に死ねり

8 David was angry because Yahweh had punished Uzzah. So ever since that time, that place has been called ‘The Punishment of Uzzah’.

ヱホバ、ウザを撃ちたまひしによりてダビデ怒り其處をペレヅウザ(ウザ撃)と呼り其名今日にいたる

9 David was [also] afraid of [what else] Yahweh [would do to punish them], so he said, “(How can I take the sacred chest with me [to Jerusalem]?/I am afraid to take the sacred chest with me [to Jerusalem].)” [RHQ]

其日ダビデ、ヱホバを畏れていひけるはヱホバの櫃いかで我所にいたるべけんやと

10 So he did not want to take the sacred chest to Jerusalem. Instead, they took it to another place; they took it to the house of Obed-Edom, from Gath [city].

ダビデ、ヱホバの櫃を己に移してダビデの城邑にいらしむるを好まず之を轉してガテ人オベデエドムの家にいたらしむ

11 They left the sacred chest in the house of Obed-Edom for three months, and [during that time] Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom and his family.

ヱホバの櫃ガテ人オベデエドムの家に在ること三月なりきヱホバ、オベデエドムと其全家を惠みたまふ

12 Later, people told David, “Yahweh has blessed Obed-Edom and his family because [he is taking care] of the sacred chest!” When David heard that, he [and some other men] went to Obed-Edom’s house, and very joyfully brought the sacred chest from there to Jerusalem.

ヱホバ神の櫃のためにオベデエドムの家と其所有を皆惠みたまふといふ事ダビデ王に聞えけれぼダビデゆきて喜樂をもて神の櫃をオベデエドムの家よりダビデの城邑に舁上れり

13 [This time, descendants of Levi] were carrying the sacred chest, but when they had walked only six steps, they stopped, and there David killed a bull and a fat calf, and offered them to Yahweh for a sacrifice.

ヱホバの櫃を舁者六歩行](ゆき)}たる時ダビデ牛と肥たる者を献げたり

14 David was wearing [only] a linen cloth wrapped around his waist, and was dancing very energetically to honor Yahweh.

ダビデ力を極めてヱホバの前に踊躍れり時にダビデ布のエポデを著け居たり

15 David and the Israeli men took the sacred chest up [to Jerusalem], shouting [loudly] and blowing trumpets.

ダビデおよびイスラエルの全家歓呼と喇叭の聲をもてヱホバの櫃を舁のぼれり

16 While they were carrying the sacred chest into the city, [David’s wife] Michal, who was Saul’s daughter, looked out the window [of her house]. She saw King David leaping and dancing to honor Yahweh. So she was disgusted with him.

神の櫃ダビデの城邑にいりし時サウルの女ミカル窻より窺ひてダビデ王のヱホバのまへに舞躍るを見其心にダビデを蔑視む

17 They brought the sacred chest into the tent that David had erected for it. Then David gave to Yahweh offerings to be completely burned [on an altar], and other offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.

人々ヱホバの櫃を舁入てこれをダビデが其爲に張たる天幕の中なる其所に置りしかしてダビデ燔祭と酬恩祭をヱホバのまへに献げたり

18 When David had finished offering those sacrifices, he asked Yahweh, the Commander of the armies [of the angels], to bless the people.

ダビデ燔祭と酬恩祭を献ぐることを終し時萬軍のヱホバの名を以て民を祝せり

19 He also distributed food to all the people. To each Israeli man and woman he gave a loaf of bread, some meat, and a raisin cake. Then all the people returned to their homes.

また民の中即ちイスラエルの衆庶の中に男にも女にも倶にパン一箇 肉一斤 乾葡萄一塊を分ちあたへたり斯て民皆おのおの其家にかへりぬ

20 When David went home to [ask Yahweh to] bless his family, his wife Michal came out to meet him. She said to him, “Maybe you, the king of Israel, [think that you] [IRO] were honoring yourself today, but really, you acted like a fool, uncovering yourself while the female servants of your officials were watching!”

爰にダビデ其家族を祝せんとて歸りしかばサウルの女ミカル、ダビデをいでむかへていひけるはイスラエルの王今日如何に威光ありしや自ら遊蕩者の其身を露すがごとく今日其臣僕の婢女のまへに其身を露したまへりと

21 David replied to Michal, “[I was doing that] to honor Yahweh, who chose me instead of your father and other members of his family, to be the king of the Israeli people, the people who belong to Yahweh. And I will [continue to] dance to honor Yahweh!

ダビデ、ミカルにいふ我はヱホバのまへに即ち汝の父よりもまたその全家よりも我を選みて我をヱホバの民イスラエルの首長に命じたまへるヱホバのまへに躍れり

22 [Even though you think that what I did] was disgraceful, I will continue to do it even more. You may despise me [because of what I did], but the women whom you were talking about will honor me!”

我は此よりも尚鄙からんまたみづから賤しと思はん汝が語る婢女等とともにありて我は尊榮をえんと

23 [As a result, ] Saul’s daughter Michal never gave birth to any children.

是故にサウルの女ミカルは死ぬる日まで子あらざりき
