< サムエル記Ⅱ 6 >

1 ダビデ再びイスラエルの選抜の兵士三萬人を悉く集む
And David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 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
And David arose and went, with all the people that were with him of the men of Juda to fetch the ark of God, upon which the name of the Lord of hosts is invoked, who sitteth over it upon the cherubims.
3 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
And they laid the ark of God upon a new cart: and took it out of the house of Abinadab, who was in Gabaa: and Oza, and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
4 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
And when they had taken it out of the house of Abinadab, who was in Gabaa, Ahio having care of the ark of God went before the ark.
5 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
But David and all Israel played before the Lord on all manner of instruments made of wood, on harps and lutes and timbrels and cornets and cymbals.
6 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
And when they came to the floor of Nachon, Oza put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it: because the oxen kicked and made it lean aside.
7 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
And the indignation of the Lord was enkindled against Oza, and he struck him for his rashness: and he died there before the ark of God.
8 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
And David was grieved because the Lord had struck Oza, and the name of that place was called: The striking of Oza, to this day.
9 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
And David was afraid of the Lord that day, saying: How shall the ark of the Lord come to me?
10 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
And he would not have the ark of the Lord brought in to himself into the city of David: but he caused it to be carried into the house of Obededom the Gethite.
11 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
And the ark of the Lord abode in the house of Obededom the Gethite three months: and the Lord blessed Obededom, and all his household.
12 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
And it was told king David, that the Lord had blessed Obededom, and all that he had, because of the ark of God. So David went, and brought away the ark of God out of the house of Obededom into the city of David with joy. And there were with David seven choirs, and calves for victims.
13 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
And when they that carried the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a ram:
14 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
And David danced with all his might before the Lord: and David was girded with a linen ephod.
15 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
And David and all the house of Israel brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord with joyful shouting, and with sound of trumpet.
16 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
And when the ark of the Lord was come into the city of David, Michol the daughter of Saul, looking out through a window, saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord: and she despised him in her heart.
17 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
And they brought the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle, which David had pitched for it: and David offered holocausts, and peace offerings before the Lord.
18 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
And when he had made an end of offering holocausts and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.
19 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
And he distributed to all the multitude of Israel both men and women, to every one, a cake of bread, and a piece of roasted beef, and fine flour fried with oil: and all the people departed every one to his house.
20 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
And David returned to bless his own house: and Michol the daughter of Saul coming out to meet David, said: How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself before the handmaids of his servants, and was naked, as if one of the buffoons should be naked.
21 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
And David said to Michol: Before the Lord, who chose me rather than thy father, and than all his house, and commanded me to be ruler over the people of the Lord in Israel,
22 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
I will both play and make myself meaner than I have done: and I will be little in my own eyes: and with the handmaid of whom thou speakest, I shall appear more glorious.
23 是故にサウルの女ミカルは死ぬる日まで子あらざりき
Therefore Michol the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
