サムエル記Ⅱ 11

1 年歸りて王等の戰に出る時におよびてダビデ、ヨアブおよび自己の臣僕並にイスラエルの全軍を遣はせり彼等アンモンの子孫を滅ぼしてラバを圍めりされどダビデはエルサレムに止りぬ

And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.

2 爰に夕暮にダビデ其床より興きいでて王の家の屋蓋のうへに歩みしが屋蓋より一人の婦人の體をあらふを見たり其婦は觀るに甚だ美し

And it came to pass in an evening-time, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.

3 ダビデ人を遣して婦人を探らしめしに或人いふ此はエリアムの女ハテシバにてヘテ人ウリヤの妻なるにあらずやと

And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?

4 ダビデ乃ち使者を遣はして其婦を取る婦彼に來りて彼婦と寝たりしかして婦其不潔を清めて家に歸りぬ

And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house.

5 かくて婦孕みければ人をつかはしてダビデに告ていひけるは我子を孕めりと

And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child.

6 是においてダビデ人をヨアブにつかはしてヘテ人ウリヤを我に遣はせといひければヨアブ、ウリヤをダビデに遣はせり

And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.

7 ウリヤ、ダビデにいたりしかばダビデこれにヨアブの如何なると民の如何なると戰爭の如何なるを問ふ

And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered.

8 しかしてダビデ、ウリヤにいひけるは汝の家に下りて足を洗へとウリヤ王の家を出るに王の贈物其後に從ひてきたる

And David said to Uriah, Go down to your house, and wash your feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a portion of food from the king.

9 然どウリヤは王の家の門に其主の僕等とともに寝ておのれの家にくだりいたらず

But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.

10 人々ダビデに告てウリヤ其家にくだり至らずといひければダビデ、ウリヤにいひけるは汝は旅路をなして來れるにあらずや何故に自己の家にくだらざるや

And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Came you not from your journey? why then did you not go down unto your house?

11 ウリヤ、ダビデにいひけるは櫃とイスラエルとユダは小屋の中に住まりわが主ヨアブとわが主の僕は野の表に陣を取るに我いかでわが家にゆきて食ひ飮しまた妻と寝べけけんや汝は生また汝の霊魂は活く我此事をなさじ

And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing.

12 ダビデ、ウリヤにいふ今日も此にとどまれ明日我汝を去しめんとウリヤ其日と次の日エルサレムにとどまりしが

And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and tomorrow I will let you depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the next day.

13 ダビデかれを召て其まへに食ひ飮せしめダビデかれを酔しめたり晩にいたりて彼出て其床に其主の僕と共に寝たりされどおのれの家にはくだりゆかざりき

And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.

14 朝におよびてダビデ、ヨアブヘの書を認めて之をウリヤの手によりて遣れり

And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.

15 ダビデ其書に書ていはく汝らウリヤを烈しき戰の先鉾にいだしてかれの後より退きて彼をして戰死せしめよ

And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set all of you Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire all of you from him, that he may be smitten, and die.

16 是においてヨアブ城邑を窺ひてウリヤをば其勇士の居ると知る所に置り

And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were.

17 城邑の人出てヨアブと戰ひしかばダビデの僕の中の數人仆れヘテ人ウリヤも死り

And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.

18 ヨアブ人をつかはして軍の事を悉くダビデに告げしむ

Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;

19 ヨアブ其使者に命じていひけるは汝が軍の事を皆王に語り終しとき

And charged the messenger, saying, When you have made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king,

20 王もし怒りを發して汝に汝らなんぞ戰はんとて城邑に近づきしや汝らは彼らが石墻の上より射ることを知らざりしや

And if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say unto you, Wherefore approached all of you so nigh unto the city when all of you did fight? knew all of you not that they would shoot from the wall?

21 ヱルベセテの子アビメレクを撃し者は誰なるや一人の婦が石垣の上より磨の上石を投て彼をテベツに殺せしにあらずや何ぞ汝ら城垣に近づきしやと言はば汝言べし汝の僕ヘテ人ウリヤもまた死りと

Who stroke Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went all of you nigh the wall? then say you, Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.

22 使者ゆきてダビデにいたりヨアブが遣はしたるところのことをことごとく告げたり

So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for.

23 使者ダビデにいひけるは敵我儕に手強かりしが城外にいでて我儕にいたりしかば我儕これに迫りて門の入口にまでいたれり

And the messenger said unto David, Surely the men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate.

24 時に射手の者城垣の上より汝の僕を射たりければ王の僕の或者死に亦汝の僕ヘテ人ウリヤも死りと

And the shooters shot from off the wall upon your servants; and some of the king's servants be dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.

25 ダビデ使者にいひけるは斯汝ヨアブに言べし此事を憂ふるなかれ刀劍は此をも彼をも同じく殺すなり強く城邑を攻て戰ひ之を陷いるべしと汝かくヨアブを勵ますべし

Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shall you say unto Joab, Let not this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another: make your battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage you him.

26 ウリヤの妻其夫ウリヤの死たるを聞て夫のために悲哀り

And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.

27 其喪の過し時ダビデ人を遣はしてかれをおのれの家に召いる彼すなはちその妻となりて男子を生り但しダビデの爲たる此事はヱホバの目に惡かりき

And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.
