サムエル記Ⅱ 15
1 此後アブサロム己のために戰車と馬ならびに己のまへに驅る者五十人を備たり
And after this Absalom began to furnish himself with a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
2 アブサロム夙く興きて門の途の傍にたち人の訴訟ありて王に裁判を求めんとて來る時はアブサロム其人を呼ていふ爾は何の邑の者なるやと其人僕はイスラエルの某の支派の者なりといへば
And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the road of the gate. Then when anyone had a dispute which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom would call to him and say, "What city are you from?" When he said, "Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel,"
3 アブサロム其人にいふ見よ爾の事は善くまた正し然ど爾に聽くべき人は王いまだ立ずと
then Absalom would say to him, "Look, your matters are good and right; but there is no one from the king to hear you."
4 アブサロム又嗚呼我を此地の士師となす者もがな然れば凡て訴訟と公事ある者は我に來りて我之に公義を爲しあたへんといふ
And Absalom would say, "Oh that I were made judge in the land, then anyone who had a dispute and a judgment could come to me, and I would give him justice."
5 また人彼を拝せんとて近づく時は彼手をのばして其人を扶け之に接吻す
It was so, that when any man came near to do him obeisance, he would extend his hand and embrace him, and kiss him.
6 アブサロム凡て王に裁判を求めんとて來るイスラエル人に是のごとくなせり斯アブサロムはイスラエルの人々の心を取り
Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
7 斯て四年の後アブサロム王にいひけるは請ふ我をして往てヘブロンにてヱホバに我嘗て立し願を果さしめよ
It happened at the end of four years, that Absalom said to the king, "Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to YHWH, in Hebron.
8 其は僕スリアのゲシユルに居し時願を立て若しヱホバ誠に我をエルサレムに携歸りたまはば我ヱホバに事へんと言たればなりと
For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Aram, saying, 'If YHWH will bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve YHWH in Hebron.'"
9 王かれにいひけるは安然に往けと彼すなはち起てヘブロンに往り
The king said to him, "Go in peace." So he arose, and went to Hebron.
10 しかしてアブサロム窺ふ者をイスラエルの支派の中に徧く遣はして言せけるは爾等喇叭の音を聞ばアブサロム、ヘブロンにて王となれりと思ふべしと
But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, 'Absalom is king in Hebron.'"
11 二百人の招かれたる者エルサレムよりアブサロムとともにゆけり彼らは何心なくゆきて何事をもしらざりき
Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they did not know anything.
12 アブサロム犠牲をささぐる時にダビデの議官ギロ人アヒトペルを其邑ギロより呼よせたり徒黨強くして民次第にアブサロムに加はりぬ
And he sent and invited Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counselor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. The conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.
13 爰に使者ダビデに來りてイスラエルの人の心アブサロムにしたがふといふ
A messenger came to David, saying, "The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom."
14 ダビデおのれと共にエルサレムに居る凡ての僕にいひけるは起てよ我ら逃ん然らずば我らアブサロムより遁るるあたはざるべし急ぎ往け恐らくは彼急ぎて我らに追ひつき我儕に害を蒙らせ刃をもて邑を撃ん
David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, "Arise, and let us flee; for else none of us shall escape from Absalom. Make speed to depart, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring down evil on us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword."
15 王の僕等王にいひけるは視よ僕等王わが主の選むところを凡て爲ん
The king's servants said to the king, "Look, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses."
16 王いでゆき其全家これにしたがふ王十人の妾なる婦を遺して家をまもらしむ
And the king went out with all his household following him. But the king left ten women, who were secondary wives, to take care of the palace.
17 王いでゆき民みな之にしたがふ彼等遠の家に息めり
So the king went out with all his servants following him, and they stopped at the last house.
18 かれの僕等みな其傍に進みケレテ人とペレテ人および彼にしたがひてガテよりきたれる六百人のガテ人みな王のまへに進めり
And all the people passed on before him. And all those with him, all the officers and warriors, were six hundred men, and they passed on before him. And when all the Cherethites and all the Pelethites and all the Gittites who followed him from Gath passed on before the king,
19 時に王がガテ人イツタイにいひけるは何ゆゑに爾もまた我らとともにゆくや爾かへりて王とともにをれ爾は外國人にして移住て處をもとむる者なり
then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, "Why do you also go with us? Return, and stay with the king; for you are a foreigner, and also an exile. Return to your own place.
20 爾は昨日來れり我は今日わが得るところに往くなれば豈爾をして我らとともにさまよはしむべけんや爾歸り爾の兄弟をも携歸るべしねがはくは恩と眞實爾とともにあれ
You came only yesterday. Should I today make you wander about with us, since I go I know not where? Go back, and take your brothers with you, and may YHWH show you kindness and truth."
21 イツタイ王に答へていひけるはヱホバは活く王わが主は活く誠に王わが主いかなる處に坐すとも生死ともに僕もまた其處に居るべし
Ittai answered the king, and said, "As YHWH lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether for death or for life, even there also will your servant be."
22 ダビデ、イツタイにいひけるは進みゆけガテ人イツタイ乃ち進みかれのすべての從者およびかれとともにある妻子皆進めり
David said to Ittai, "Go and pass over." Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones who were with him.
23 國中皆大聲をあげて哭き民皆進む王もまたキデロン川を渡りて進み民皆進みて野の道におもむけり
And all the land wept aloud as all the people crossed over. And the king crossed the Wadi Kidron, and all the people passed before him on the Olive road into the wilderness.
24 視よザドクおよび倶にあるレビ人もまた皆神の契約の櫃を舁ていたり神の櫃をおろして民の悉く邑よりいづるをまてりアビヤタルもまたのぼれり
Look, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people finished passing out of the city.
25 ここに王ザドクにいひけるは神の櫃を邑に舁もどせ若し我ヱホバのまへに恩をうるならばヱホバ我を携かへりて我にこれを見し其往處を見したまはん
The king said to Zadok, "Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the eyes of YHWH, he will bring me back and show me both it and his dwelling place;
26 されどヱホバもし汝を悦ばずと斯いひたまはば視よ我は此にあり其目に善と見ゆるところを我になしたまへ
but if he should say, 'I have no delight in you;' look, here I am. Let him do to me as seems good to him."
27 王また祭司ザドクにいひけるは汝先見者汝らの二人の子即ち汝の子アヒマアズとアビヤタルの子ヨナタンを伴ひて安然に城邑に歸れ
The king said also to Zadok the priest, "Aren't you a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
28 見よ我は汝より言のきたりて我に告るまで野の渡場に留まらんと
Look, I will wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me."
29 ザドクとアビヤタルすなはち神の櫃をエルサレムに舁もどりて彼處に止まれり
Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem; and they stayed there.
30 ここにダビデ橄欖山の路を陟りしが陟るときに哭き其首を蒙みて跣足にて行りかれと倶にある民皆各其首を蒙みてのぼり哭つつのぼれり
David went up by the Ascent of the Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered, and went barefoot: and all the people who were with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
31 時にアヒトペルがアブサロムに與せる者の中にあることダビデに聞えければダビデいふヱホバねがはくはアヒトペルの計策を愚ならしめたまへと
And it had been told to David, saying, "Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom." David said, "YHWH, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness."
32 ダビデ嶺にある神を拝する處に至れる時視よアルキ人ホシヤイ衣を裂き土を頭にかむりてきたりてダビデを迎ふ
It happened that when David had come to the top, where God was worshiped, look, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn, and earth on his head.
33 ダビデかれにいひけるは爾若し我とともに進まば我の負となるべし
David said to him, "If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me;
34 されど汝もし城邑にかへりてアブサロムにむかひ王よ我爾の僕となるべし此まで爾の父の僕たりしごとく今また汝の僕となるべしといはば爾はわがためにアヒトペルの計策を敗るにいたらん
but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, 'Your brothers have left, O king, after your father left, and now I am your servant, O king. Allow me to live. As I have been your father's servant in the past, so now I am your servant,' then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.
35 祭司ザドクとアビヤタル爾とともに彼處にあるにあらずや是故に爾が王の家より聞たる事はことごとく祭司ザドクとアビヤタルに告べし
Do you not have Zadok and Abiathar the priests there with you? Therefore it shall be, that whatever thing you shall hear out of the king's house, you shall tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
36 視よかれらとともに彼處にはその二人の子即ちザドクの子アヒマアズとアビヤタルの子ヨナタンをるなり爾ら其聞たる事をことごとく彼等の手によりて我に通ずべし
Look, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, Abiathar's son; and by them you shall send to me everything that you shall hear."
37 ダビデの友ホシヤイすなはち城邑にいたりぬ時にアブサロムはエルサレムに入居たり
So Hushai, David's friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
