< 2 Samuel 16 >

1 When David [and the others] had gone a little way past the top of the hill, Mephibosheth’s servant Ziba met him. He had with him two donkeys that were carrying 200 loaves of bread, 100 bunches/clusters of raisins, 100 bunches of fresh fruit, and a leather bag full of wine.
ダビデ少しく嶺を過ゆける時視よメピボセテの僕ヂバ鞍おける二頭の驢馬を引き其上にパン二百乾葡萄一百球乾棗の團塊一百酒一嚢を載きたりてダビデを迎ふ
2 The king said to Ziba, “What are these for?” Ziba replied, “The donkeys are for your family to ride on, the bread and the fruit are for your soldiers to eat, and the wine is for them to drink when they become exhausted in the desert.”
王ヂバにいひけるは此等は何なるかヂバいひけるは驢馬は王の家族の乗るためパンと乾棗は少者の食ふため洒は野に困憊たる者の飮むためなり
3 The king said, “Where is Mephibosheth, the grandson of your [former] master [Saul]?” Ziba [deceived David by] saying, “He stayed in Jerusalem, because he thinks that now the Israeli people will allow him to rule the kingdom that his grandfather Saul ruled.”
王いひけるは爾の主人の子は何處にあるやヂバ王にいひけるはかれはエルサレムに止まる其は彼イスラエルの家今日我父の國を我にかへさんと言をればなり
4 The king said to Ziba, “Okay, everything that belonged to Mephibosheth is now yours.” Ziba replied, “Your Majesty, I will humbly serve you; and I desire/hope that you will always be pleased with me.”
王ヂバにいひけるは視よメピボセテの所有は悉く爾の所有となるべしヂバいひけるは我拝す王わが主よ我をして爾のまへに恩を蒙むらしめたまへ
5 When King David [and those with him] arrived at Bahurim [town], a man named Shimei met him. Shimei, whose father was Gera, was one of Saul’s relatives. Shimei was cursing David as he approached.
斯てダビデ王バホリムにいたるに視よ彼處よりサウルの家の族の者一人出きたる其名をシメイといふゲラの子なり彼出きたりて來りつつ詛へり
6 Then he threw stones at David and his officials, even though the officials and David’s bodyguards surrounded David.
又彼ダビデとダビデ王の諸の臣僕にむかひて石を投たり時に民と勇士皆王の左右にあり
7 Shimei cursed David and said to him, “Get out of here, you murderer, you scoundrel!
シメイ詛の中に斯いへり汝血を流す人よ爾邪なる人よ出され出され
8 Yahweh is (getting revenge on/punishing) you all for murdering [MTY] many people in Saul’s family. And now he is giving Saul’s kingdom to your son Absalom. You murderer, you are being paid back for the many people that you have killed/murdered [MTY]!”
爾が代りて位に登りしサウルの家の血を凡てヱホバ爾に歸したまへりヱホバ國を爾の子アブサロムの手に付したまへり視よ爾は血を流す人なるによりて禍患の中にあるなり
9 Then Abishai said to the king, “Your Majesty, this man is [as worthless as] [MET] a dead dog! (Why should he be allowed to curse you?/He should not be allowed to curse you.) [RHQ] Allow me to go over there and cut off his head!”
ゼルヤの子アビシヤイ王にいひけるは此死たる犬なんぞ王わが主を詛ふべけんや請ふ我をして渉りゆきてかれの首を取しめよ
10 But the king replied, “You two sons of Zeruiah, (do not tell me what to do/this does not concern you) [RHQ]. If he is cursing me because Yahweh told him to do that, certainly no one should say ‘(Why are you doing that?/You should not be doing that.) [RHQ]’”
王いひけるはゼルヤの子等よ爾らの與るところにあらず彼の詛ふはヱホバ彼にダビデを詛へと言たまひたるによるなれば誰か爾なんぞ然するやと言べけんや
11 Then David said to Abishai and to all his officials, “You know that my own son is trying to kill me. So [it is not surprising that] this man from the tribe of Benjamin is also trying to kill me. So ignore him, and allow him to curse me, because [perhaps he thinks that] Yahweh told him to do that.
ダビデ又アビシヤイおよび己の諸の臣僕にいひけるは視よわが身より出たるわが子わが生命を求む况や此ベニヤミン人をや彼を聽して詛はしめよヱホバ彼に命じたまへるなり
12 Perhaps Yahweh will see that I am having all this trouble, and [some day he will repay me by] (blessing/doing good things for) me in return for this man cursing me today.”
ヱホバわが艱難を俯視みたまふことあらん又ヱホバ今日彼の詛のために我に善を報いたまふことあらんと
13 Then David and those who were with him walked along the road, and Shimei continued walking along the hillside near him. While he walked along, he cursed David and threw stones and dirt at him.
斯てダビデと其從者途を行けるにシメイはダビデに對へる山の傍に行て行つつ詛ひまた彼にむかひて石を投げ塵を揚たり
14 When David and those who were with him arrived at the Jordan [River], they were very tired. So they rested there.
王および倶にある民皆アエピムに來りて彼處に息をつげり
15 While that was happening, Absalom and all the Israeli people who were with him had arrived in Jerusalem. Ahithophel had also arrived there.
偖アブサロムと總ての民イスラエルの人々エルサレムに至れりアヒトペルもアブサロムとともにいたる
16 When David’s friend Hushai came to Absalom, he said to Absalom, “I desire/hope that the king will live a long time! May you live for many years!”
ダビデの友なるアルキ人ホシヤイ、アブサロムの許に來りし時アブサロムにいふ願くは王壽かれ願くは王壽かれ
17 Absalom said to Hushai, “You have been loyal [RHQ] to your friend [David for a long time]. So why did you not go with him [instead of coming to me]?”
アブサロム、ホシヤイにいひけるは此は爾が其友に示す厚意なるや爾なんぞ爾の友と往ざるやと
18 Hushai replied, “I will serve the one whom Yahweh and these people and all the other people of Israel have chosen [to be their king]. So I will stay with you.
ホシヤイ、アブサロムにいひけるは然らずヱホバと此民とイスラエルの總の人々の選む者に我は屬し且其人とともに居るべし
19 You are my master [King David’s] son; if I do not serve you, what other man should I serve [RHQ]? I will serve you as I served your father.”
且又我誰に事ふべきか其子の前に事べきにあらずや我は爾の父のまへに事しごとく爾のまへに事べし
20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “What do you advise that we should do?”
爰にアブサロム、アヒトベルにいひけるは我儕如何に爲べきか爾等計を爲すべしと
21 Ahithophel replied, “Your father left some of his slave wives in the palace to take care of it. Have sex [EUP] with them. When everyone in Israel hears that you have done that, they will realize that you are acting very contemptuously toward your father. Then all those who are with you will be very encouraged.”
アヒトペル、アブサロムにいひけるは爾の父が遺して家を守らしむる妾等の處に入れ然ばイスラエル皆爾が其父に惡まるるを聞ん而して爾とともにをる總の者の手強くなるべしと
22 So they set up a tent for Absalom on the roof [of the palace]. And Absalom went into the tent and had sex [EUP] with his father’s slave wives, [one by one, ] and everyone [HYP] could see [him going into the tent].
是において屋脊にアブサロムのために天幕を張ければアブサロム、イスラエルの目のまへにて其父の妾等の處に入りぬ
23 In those days, people accepted what Ahithophel recommended as though he were speaking the words of God. So just as David had always accepted what Ahithophel said, now Absalom did also.
當時アヒトペルが謀れる謀計は神の言に問たるごとくなりきアヒトペルの謀計は皆ダビデとアブサロムとに倶に是のごとく見えたりき
