King James Version with Apocrypha
1その後、アンモン人の王ナハシュが死に、その子が代わって王となった。
1Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.
2ダビデは言った。「ナハシュの子ハヌンに真実の愛を示そう。彼の父も私に真実の愛を示してくれたからだ。」 そこでダビデは、父を亡くしたハヌンを慰めるため、使者を遣わした。ダビデの家臣たちはハヌンを慰めるため、アンモン人の国に入った。
2And David said, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
3ところがアンモン人の高官たちはハヌンに言った。「ダビデが弔問の使者を送ったのは、あなたの父を敬っているからだとお考えですか。彼の家臣たちは、この国を探り、滅ぼし、偵察するために来たのではありませんか。」
3But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?
4そこでハヌンはダビデの家臣たちを捕らえ、ひげをそり落とし、衣を尻の辺りまで半分に切り取って送り返した。
4Wherefore Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks, and sent them away.
5人々が来て、その者たちの受けた仕打ちをダビデに知らせたので、ダビデは彼らを迎えに人を遣わした。彼らがひどく辱められていたからである。王は言った。「ひげが伸びるまでエリコにとどまり、それから帰って来なさい。」
5Then there went certain , and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
6アンモン人は、自分たちがダビデに憎まれるようになったことを悟った。そこでハヌンとアンモン人は、メソポタミア、アラム・マアカ、ツォバから戦車と騎兵を雇うため、銀千タラントを送った。
6¶ And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria-maachah, and out of Zobah.
7彼らは戦車三万二千台と、マアカの王およびその軍勢を雇った。彼らはやって来て、メデバの近くに陣を敷いた。アンモン人も自分たちの町々から集まり、戦いに出た。
7So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
8ダビデはこれを聞くと、ヨアブと勇士たちの全軍を送り出した。
8And when David heard of it , he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
9アンモン人は出て来て、町の門の前に戦列を整えた。一方、援軍として来た王たちは、離れた野に陣取った。
9And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field.
10ヨアブは、自分の前後に戦線が築かれているのを見ると、イスラエルの精鋭の中から兵を選び、アラム人に向かって戦列を整えた。
10Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
11残りの兵は弟アビシャイに委ね、彼らをアンモン人に向かって配置した。
11And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
12そして言った。「もしアラム人が私より強ければ、あなたが私を助けてくれ。もしアンモン人があなたより強ければ、私があなたを助ける。
12And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
13勇気を出そう。私たちの民と、私たちの神の町々のために、力を尽くそう。主が御心にかなうことを行われるように。」
13Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which is good in his sight.
14ヨアブと彼に従う兵がアラム人に近づいて戦いを挑むと、アラム人は彼の前から逃げた。
14So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.
15アンモン人もアラム人が逃げるのを見ると、ヨアブの弟アビシャイの前から逃げ、町の中に入った。そこでヨアブはエルサレムへ帰った。
15And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
16アラム人は、自分たちがイスラエルに打ち破られたことを知ると、使者を遣わして川の向こう側のアラム人を呼び寄せた。ハダドエゼルの軍の司令官ショファクが彼らを率いていた。
16¶ And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.
17この知らせを受けたダビデは、全イスラエルを集めてヨルダン川を渡り、彼らのもとへ進み、戦列を整えた。ダビデがアラム人に向かって戦列を整えると、彼らはダビデと戦った。
17And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.
18しかしアラム人はイスラエルの前から逃げた。ダビデはアラム人の戦車兵七千人と歩兵四万人を討ち、軍の司令官ショファクも殺した。
18But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.
19ハダドエゼルの家臣たちは、自分たちがイスラエルに打ち破られたのを見ると、ダビデと和を結び、彼に仕えた。その後アラム人は、二度とアンモン人を助けようとはしなかった。
19And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
