サムエル記Ⅱ 13

1 此後ダビデの子アブサロムにタマルと名くる美しき妹ありしがダビデの子アムノンこれを戀ひたり

And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.

2 アムノン心を苦しめて遂に其姉妹タマルのためにわづらへり其はタマルは處女なりければアムノンかれに何事をも爲しがたしと思ひたればなり

And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do anything to her.

3 然るにアムノンに一人の朋友ありダビデの兄弟シメアの子にして其名をヨナダブといふヨナダブに甚だ有智き人なり

But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother: and Jonadab was a very subtle man.

4 彼アムノンにいひけるは汝王の子なんぞ日に日に斯く痩ゆくや汝我に告ざるやアムノン彼にいひけるは我わが兄弟アブサロムの妹タマルを戀ふ

And he said unto him, Why are you, being the king's son, lean from day to day? will you not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.

5 ヨナダブかれにいひけるは床に臥て病と佯り汝の父の來りて汝を見る時これにいへ請ふわが妹タマルをして來りて我に食を予へしめわが見て彼の手より食ふことをうる樣にわが目のまへにて食物を調理しめよと

And Jonadab said unto him, Lay you down on your bed, and make yourself sick: and when your father comes to see you, say unto him, I pray you, let my sister Tamar come, and give me food, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand.

6 アムノンすなはち臥して病と佯りしが王の來りておのれを見る時アムノン王にいひけるは請ふ吾妹タマルをして來りてわが目のまへにて二の菓子を作へしめて我にかれの手より食ふことを得さしめよと

So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, I pray you, let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand.

7 是においてダビデ、タマルの家にいひつかはしけるは汝の兄アムノンの家にゆきてかれのために食物を調理よと

Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to your brother Amnon's house, and dress him food.

8 タマル其兄アムノンの家にいたるにアムノンは臥し居たりタマル乃ち粉をとりて之を摶てかれの目のまへにて菓子を作へ其菓子を燒き

So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes.

9 鍋を取て彼のまへに傾出たりしかれども彼食ふことを否めりしかしてアムノンいひけるは汝ら皆我を離れていでよと皆かれをはなれていでたり

And she took a pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they went out every man from him.

10 アムノン、タマルにいひけるは食物を寝室に持きたれ我汝の手より食はんとタマル乃ち己の作りたる菓子を取りて寝室に持ゆきて其兄アムノンにいたる

And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat of your hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.

11 タマル彼に食しめんとて近く持いたれる時彼タマルを執へて之にいひけるは妹よ來りて我と寝よ

And when she had brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister.

12 タマルかれにいひける否兄上よ我を辱しむるなかれ是のごとき事はイスラエルに行はれず汝此愚なる事をなすべからず

And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not you this folly.

13 我は何處にわが恥辱を棄んか汝はイスラエルの愚人の一人となるべしされば請ふ王に語れ彼我を汝に予ざることなかるべしと

And I, where shall I cause my shame to go? and as for you, you shall be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray you, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from you.

14 然どもアムノン其言を聽ずしてタマルよりも力ありければタマルを辱しめてこれと偕に寝たりしが

Nevertheless he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.

15 遂にアムノン甚だ深くタマルを惡むにいたる其かれを惡む所の惡みはかれを戀ひたるところの戀よりも大なり即ちアムノンかれにいひけるは起て往けよ

Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone.

16 かれアムノンにいひけるは我を返して此惡を作るなかれ是は汝がさきに我になしたる所の惡よりも大なりとしかれども聽いれず

And she said unto him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that you did unto me. But he would not hearken unto her.

17 其側に仕ふる少者を呼ていひけるは汝此女をわが許より遣りいだして其後に戸を楗せと

Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.

18 タマル振袖を着ゐたり王の女等の處女なるものは斯のごとき衣服をもて粧ひたりアムノンの侍者かれを外にいだして其後に戸を楗せり

And she had a garment of divers colours upon her: for with such robes were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.

19 タマル灰を其首に蒙り着たる振袖を裂き手を首にのせて呼はりつつ去ゆけり

And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colours that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying.

20 其兄アブサロムかれにいひけるは汝の兄アムノン汝と偕に在しや然ど妹よ默せよ彼は汝の兄なり此事を心に留るなかれとかくてタマルは其兄アブサロムの家に凄しく住み居れり

And Absalom her brother said unto her, Has Amnon your brother been with you? but hold now your peace, my sister: he is your brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.

21 ダビデ王是等の事を悉く聞て甚だ怒れり

But when king David heard of all these things, he was very angry.

22 アブサロムはアムノンにむかひて善も惡きも語ざりき其はアブサロム、アムノンを惡みたればたり是はかれがおのれの妹タマルを辱しめたるに由り

And Absalom spoke unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.

23 全二年の後アブサロム、エフライムの邊なるバアルハゾルにて羊の毛を剪しめ居て王の諸子を悉く招けり

And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baalhazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons.

24 アブサロム王の所にいりていひけるは視よ僕羊の毛を剪しめをるねがはくは王と王の僕等僕とともに來りたまへ

And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, your servant has sheepshearers; let the king, I plead to you, and his servants go with your servant.

25 王アブサロムに云けるは否わが子よ我儕を皆いたらしむるなかれおそらくは汝の費を多くせんアブサロム、ダビデを強ふしかれどもダビデ往ことを肯ぜずして彼を祝せり

And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable unto you. And he pressed him: nevertheless he would not go, but blessed him.

26 アブサロムいひけるは若しからずば請ふわが兄アムノンをして我らとともに來らしめよ王かれにいひけるは彼なんぞ汝とともにゆくべけんやと

Then said Absalom, If not, I pray you, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said unto him, Why should he go with you?

27 されどアブサロムかれを強ければアムノンと王の諸子を皆アブサロムとともにゆかしめたり

But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.

28 爰にアブサロム其少者等に命じていひけるは請ふ汝らアムノンの心の酒によりて樂む時を視すましてわが汝等にアムノンを撃てと言ふ時に彼を殺せ懼るるなかれ汝等に之を命じたるは我にあらずや汝ら勇しく武くなれと

Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark all of you now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, Strike Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.

29 アブサロムの少者等アブサロムの命ぜしごとくアムノンになしければ王の諸子皆起て各其騾馬に乗て逃たり

And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man got him up upon his mule, and fled.

30 彼等が路にある時風聞ダビデにいたりていはくアブサロム王の諸子を悉く殺して一人も遺るものなしと

And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom has slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.

31 王乃ち起ち其衣を裂きて地に臥す其臣僕皆衣を裂て其傍にたてり

Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.

32 ダビデの兄弟シメアの子ヨナダブ答へていひけるは吾主よ王の御子等なる少年を皆殺したりと思たまふなかれアムノン獨り死るのみ彼がアブサロムの妹タマルを辱かしめたる日よりアブサロム此事をさだめおきたるなり

And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead: for by the appointment of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.

33 されば吾主王よ王の御子等皆死りといひて此事をおもひ煩ひたまふなかれアムノン獨死たるなればなりと

Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead: for Amnon only is dead.

34 斯てアブサロムは逃れたり爰に守望ゐたる少者目をあげて視たるに視よ山の傍よりして己の後の道より多くの人來れり

But Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people by the way of the hill side behind him.

35 ヨナダブ王にいひけるは視よ王の御子等來る僕のいへるがごとくしかりと

And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king's sons come: as your servant said, so it is.

36 彼語ることを終し時視よ王の子等來り聲をあげて哭り王と其僕等も皆大に甚く哭り

And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very sore.

37 偖アブサロムは逃てゲシユルの王アミホデの子タルマイにいたるダビデは日々其子のために悲めり

But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.

38 アブサロム逃てゲシユルにゆき三年彼處に居たり

So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.

39 ダビデ王アブサロムに逢んと思ひ煩らふ其はアムノンは死たるによりてダビデかれの事はあきらめたればなり

And the soul of king David longed to go forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
