| 1:1アハブが死んだ後、モアブはイスラエルにそむいた。 | 1:1 Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab. | |
| 1:2さてアハジヤはサマリヤにある高殿のらんかんから落ちて病気になったので、使者をつかわし、「行ってエクロンの神バアル・ゼブブに、この病気がなおるかどうかを尋ねよ」と命じた。 | 1:2 Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper room that was in Samaria, and was sick. So he sent messengers, and said to them, "Go, inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover of this sickness." | |
| 1:3時に、主の使はテシベびとエリヤに言った、「立って、上って行き、サマリヤの王の使者に会って言いなさい、『あなたがたがエクロンの神バアル・ゼブブに尋ねようとして行くのは、イスラエルに神がないためか』。 | 1:3 But the angel of Yahweh {"Yahweh" is God's proper Name, sometimes rendered "LORD" (all caps) in other translations.} said to Elijah the Tishbite, "Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and tell them, 'Is it because there is no God {The Hebrew word rendered "God" is "Elohim."} in Israel, that you go to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron? | |
| 1:4それゆえ主はこう仰せられる、『あなたは、登った寝台から降りることなく、必ず死ぬであろう』」。そこでエリヤは上って行った。 | 1:4 Now therefore thus says Yahweh, "You shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die."'" Elijah departed. | |
| 1:5使者たちがアハジヤのもとに帰ってきたので、アハジヤは彼らに言った、「なぜ帰ってきたのか」。 | 1:5 The messengers returned to him, and he said to them, "Why is it that you have returned?" | |
| 1:6彼らは言った、「ひとりの人が上ってきて、われわれに会って言いました、『おまえたちをつかわした王の所へ帰って言いなさい。主はこう仰せられる、あなたがエクロンの神バアル・ゼブブに尋ねようとして人をつかわすのは、イスラエルに神がないためなのか。それゆえあなたは、登った寝台から降りることなく、必ず死ぬであろう』」。 | 1:6 They said to him, "A man came up to meet us, and said to us, 'Go, return to the king who sent you, and tell him, "Thus says Yahweh, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you send to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.'"'" | |
| 1:7アハジヤは彼らに言った、「上ってきて、あなたがたに会って、これらの事を告げた人はどんな人であったか」。 | 1:7 He said to them, "What kind of man was he who came up to meet you, and told you these words?" | |
| 1:8彼らは答えた、「その人は毛ごろもを着て、腰に皮の帯を締めていました」。彼は言った、「その人はテシべびとエリヤだ」。 | 1:8 They answered him, "He was a hairy man, and wearing a leather belt around his waist." He said, "It is Elijah the Tishbite." | |
| 1:9そこで王は五十人の長を、部下の五十人と共にエリヤの所へつかわした。彼がエリヤの所へ上っていくと、エリヤは山の頂にすわっていたので、エリヤに言った、「神の人よ、王があなたに、下って来るようにと言われます」。 | 1:9 Then the king sent a captain of fifty with his fifty to him. He went up to him; and behold, he was sitting on the top of the hill. He said to him, "Man of God, the king has said, 'Come down!'" | |
| 1:10しかしエリヤは五十人の長に答えた、「わたしがもし神の人であるならば、火が天から下って、あなたと部下の五十人とを焼き尽すでしょう」。そのように火が天から下って、彼と部下の五十人とを焼き尽した。 | 1:10 Elijah answered to the captain of fifty, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty!" Fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty. | |
| 1:11王はまた他の五十人の長を、部下の五十人と共にエリヤにつかわした。彼は上っていってエリヤに言った、「神の人よ、王がこう命じられます、『すみやかに下ってきなさい』」。 | 1:11 Again he sent to him another captain of fifty and his fifty. He answered him, "Man of God, the king has said, 'Come down quickly!'" | |
| 1:12しかしエリヤは彼らに答えた、「わたしがもし神の人であるならば、火が天から下って、あなたと部下の五十人とを焼き尽すでしょう」。そのように神の火が天から下って、彼と部下の五十人とを焼き尽した。 | 1:12 Elijah answered them, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty!" The fire of God came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty. | |
| 1:13王はまた第三の五十人の長を部下の五十人と共につかわした。第三の五十人の長は上っていって、エリヤの前にひざまずき、彼に願って言った、「神の人よ、どうぞ、わたしの命と、あなたのしもべであるこの五十人の命をあなたの目に尊いものとみなしてください。 | 1:13 Again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. The third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, and said to him, "Man of God, please let my life, and the life of these fifty your servants, be precious in your sight. | |
| 1:14ごらんなさい、火が天からくだって、さきの五十人の長ふたりと、その部下の五十人ずつとを焼き尽しました。しかし今わたしの命をあなたの目に尊いものとみなしてください」。 | 1:14 Behold, fire came down from the sky, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties. But now let my life be precious in your sight." | |
| 1:15その時、主の使はエリヤに言った、「彼と共に下りなさい。彼を恐れてはならない」。そこでエリヤは立って、彼と共に下り、王のもとへ行って、 | 1:15 The angel of Yahweh said to Elijah, "Go down with him. Don't be afraid of him." He arose, and went down with him to the king. | |
| 1:16王に言った、「主はこう仰せられます、『あなたはエクロンの神バアル・ゼブブに尋ねようと使者をつかわしたが、それはイスラエルに、その言葉を求むべき神がないためであるか。それゆえあなたは、登った寝台から降りることなく、必ず死ぬであろう』」。 | 1:16 He said to him, "Thus says Yahweh, 'Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.'" | |
| 1:17彼はエリヤが言った主の言葉のとおりに死んだが、彼に子がなかったので、その兄弟ヨラムが彼に代って王となった。これはユダの王ヨシャパテの子ヨラムの第二年である。 | 1:17 So he died according to the word of Yahweh which Elijah had spoken. Jehoram began to reign in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son. | |
| 1:18アハジヤのその他の事績は、イスラエルの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。 | 1:18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? | |
| 2:1主がつむじ風をもってエリヤを天に上らせようとされた時、エリヤはエリシャと共にギルガルを出て行った。 | 2:1 It happened, when Yahweh would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. | |
| 2:2エリヤはエリシャに言った、「どうぞ、ここにとどまってください。主はわたしをベテルにつかわされるのですから」。しかしエリシャは言った、「主は生きておられます。またあなたも生きておられます。わたしはあなたを離れません」。そして彼らはベテルへ下った。 | 2:2 Elijah said to Elisha, "Please wait here, for Yahweh has sent me as far as Bethel." Elisha said, "As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So they went down to Bethel. | |
| 2:3ベテルにいる預言者のともがらが、エリシャのもとに出てきて彼に言った、「主がきょう、あなたの師事する主人をあなたから取られるのを知っていますか」。彼は言った、「はい、知っています。あなたがたは黙っていてください」。 | 2:3 The sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that Yahweh will take away your master from your head today?" He said, "Yes, I know it; hold your peace." | |
| 2:4エリヤは彼に言った、「エリシャよ、どうぞ、ここにとどまってください。主はわたしをエリコにつかわされるのですから」。しかしエリシャは言った、「主は生きておられます。またあなたも生きておられます。わたしはあなたを離れません」。そして彼らはエリコへ行った。 | 2:4 Elijah said to him, "Elisha, please wait here, for Yahweh has sent me to Jericho." He said, "As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So they came to Jericho. | |
| 2:5エリコにいた預言者のともがらが、エリシャのもとにきて彼に言った、「主がきょう、あなたの師事する主人をあなたから取られるのを知っていますか」。彼は言った、「はい、知っています。あなたがたは黙っていてください」。 | 2:5 The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that Yahweh will take away your master from your head today?" He answered, "Yes, I know it. Hold your peace." | |
| 2:6エリヤはまた彼に言った、「どうぞ、ここにとどまってください。主はわたしをヨルダンにつかわされるのですから」。しかし彼は言った、「主は生きておられます。またあなたも生きておられます。わたしはあなたを離れません」。そしてふたりは進んで行った。 | 2:6 Elijah said to him, "Please wait here, for Yahweh has sent me to the Jordan." He said, "As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." They both went on. | |
| 2:7預言者のともがら五十人も行って、彼らにむかって、はるかに離れて立っていた。彼らふたりは、ヨルダンのほとりに立ったが、 | 2:7 Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan. | |
| 2:8エリヤは外套を取り、それを巻いて水を打つと、水が左右に分れたので、ふたりはかわいた土の上を渡ることができた。 | 2:8 Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that they two went over on dry ground. | |
| 2:9彼らが渡ったとき、エリヤはエリシャに言った、「わたしが取られて、あなたを離れる前に、あなたのしてほしい事を求めなさい」。エリシャは言った、「どうぞ、あなたの霊の二つの分をわたしに継がせてください」。 | 2:9 It happened, when they had gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you." Elisha said, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be on me." | |
| 2:10エリヤは言った、「あなたはむずかしい事を求める。あなたがもし、わたしが取られて、あなたを離れるのを見るならば、そのようになるであろう。しかし見ないならば、そのようにはならない」。 | 2:10 He said, "You have asked a hard thing. If you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so." | |
| 2:11彼らが進みながら語っていた時、火の車と火の馬があらわれて、ふたりを隔てた。そしてエリヤはつむじ風に乗って天にのぼった。 | 2:11 It happened, as they still went on, and talked, that behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. | |
| 2:12エリシャはこれを見て「わが父よ、わが父よ、イスラエルの戦車よ、その騎兵よ」と叫んだが、再び彼を見なかった。そこでエリシャは自分の着物をつかんで、それを二つに裂き、 | 2:12 Elisha saw it, and he cried, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!" He saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and tore them in two pieces. | |
| 2:13またエリヤの身から落ちた外套を取り上げ、帰ってきてヨルダンの岸に立った。 | 2:13 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Jordan. | |
| 2:14そしてエリヤの身から落ちたその外套を取って水を打ち、「エリヤの神、主はどこにおられますか」と言い、彼が水を打つと、水は左右に分れたので、エリシャは渡った。 | 2:14 He took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and struck the waters, and said, "Where is Yahweh, the God of Elijah?" When he also had struck the waters, they were divided here and there; and Elisha went over. | |
| 2:15エリコにいる預言者のともがらは彼の近づいて来るのを見て、「エリヤの霊がエリシャの上にとどまっている」と言った。そして彼らは来て彼を迎え、その前に地に伏して、 | 2:15 When the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho over against him saw him, they said, "The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha." They came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him. | |
| 2:16彼に言った、「しもべらの所に力の強い者が五十人います。どうぞ彼らをつかわして、あなたの主人を尋ねさせてください。主の霊が彼を引きあげて、彼を山か谷に投げたのかも知れません」。エリシャは「つかわしてはならない」と言ったが、 | 2:16 They said to him, "See now, there are with your servants fifty strong men. Please let them go and seek your master. Perhaps the Spirit of Yahweh has taken him up, and put him on some mountain, or into some valley. He said, "You shall not send them." | |
| 2:17彼の恥じるまで、しいたので、彼は「つかわしなさい」と言った。それで彼らは五十人の者をつかわし、三日の間尋ねたが、彼を見いださなかった。 | 2:17 When they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, "Send them." They sent therefore fifty men; and they searched for three days, but didn't find him. | |
| 2:18エリシャのなおエリコにとどまっている時、彼らが帰ってきたので、エリシャは彼らに言った、「わたしは、あなたがたに、行ってはならないと告げたではないか」。 | 2:18 They came back to him, while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, "Didn't I tell you, 'Don't go?'" | |
| 2:19町の人々はエリシャに言った、「見られるとおり、この町の場所は良いが水が悪いので、この地は流産を起すのです」。 | 2:19 The men of the city said to Elisha, "Behold, please, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land miscarries." | |
| 2:20エリシャは言った、「新しい皿に塩を盛って、わたしに持ってきなさい」。彼らは持ってきた。 | 2:20 He said, "Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it." They brought it to him. | |
| 2:21エリシャは水の源へ出て行って、塩をそこに投げ入れて言った、「主はこう仰せられる、『わたしはこの水を良い水にした。もはやここには死も流産も起らないであろう』」。 | 2:21 He went out to the spring of the waters, and threw salt into it, and said, "Thus says Yahweh, 'I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or miscarrying.'" | |
| 2:22こうしてその水はエリシャの言ったとおりに良い水になって今日に至っている。 | 2:22 So the waters were healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke. | |
| 2:23彼はそこからベテルへ上ったが、上って行く途中、小さい子供らが町から出てきて彼をあざけり、彼にむかって「はげ頭よ、のぼれ。はげ頭よ、のぼれ」と言ったので、 | 2:23 He went up from there to Bethel. As he was going up by the way, some youths came out of the city and mocked him, and said to him, "Go up, you baldy! Go up, you baldhead!" | |
| 2:24彼はふり返って彼らを見、主の名をもって彼らをのろった。すると林の中から二頭の雌ぐまが出てきて、その子供らのうち四十二人を裂いた。 | 2:24 He looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of Yahweh. Two female bears came out of the woods, and mauled forty-two of those youths. | |
| 2:25彼はそこからカルメル山へ行き、そこからサマリヤに帰った。 | 2:25 He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria. | |
| 3:1ユダの王ヨシャパテの第十八年にアハブの子ヨラムはサマリヤでイスラエルの王となり、十二年世を治めた。 | 3:1 Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years. | |
| 3:2彼は主の目の前に悪をおこなったが、その父母のようではなかった。彼がその父の造ったバアルの石柱を除いたからである。 | 3:2 He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, but not like his father, and like his mother; for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made. | |
| 3:3しかし彼はイスラエルに罪を犯させたネバテの子ヤラベアムの罪につき従って、それを離れなかった。 | 3:3 Nevertheless he held to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; he didn't depart from it. | |
| 3:4モアブの王メシャは羊の飼育者で、十万の小羊と、十万の雄羊の毛とを年々イスラエルの王に納めていたが、 | 3:4 Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder; and he rendered to the king of Israel the wool of one hundred thousand lambs, and of one hundred thousand rams. | |
| 3:5アハブが死んだ後、モアブの王はイスラエルの王にそむいた。 | 3:5 But it happened, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel. | |
| 3:6そこでヨラム王はその時サマリヤを出て、イスラエルびとをことごとく集め、 | 3:6 King Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and mustered all Israel. | |
| 3:7また、人をユダの王ヨシャパテにつかわし、「モアブの王はわたしにそむきました。あなたはモアブと戦うために、わたしと一緒に行かれませんか」と言わせた。彼は言った、「行きましょう。わたしはあなたと一つです。わたしの民はあなたの民と一つです。わたしの馬はあなたの馬と一つです」。 | 3:7 He went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, "The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me against Moab to battle?" He said, "I will go up. I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses." | |
| 3:8彼はまた言った、「われわれはどの道を上るのですか」。ヨラムは答えた、「エドムの荒野の道を上りましょう」。 | 3:8 He said, "Which way shall we go up?" He answered, "The way of the wilderness of Edom." | |
| 3:9こうしてイスラエルの王はユダの王およびエドムの王と共に出て行った。しかし彼らは回り道をして、七日の間進んだが、軍勢とそれに従う家畜の飲む水がなかったので、 | 3:9 So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom; and they made a circuit of seven days' journey. There was no water for the army, nor for the animals that followed them. | |
| 3:10イスラエルの王は言った、「ああ、主は、この三人の王をモアブの手に渡そうとして召し集められたのだ」。 | 3:10 The king of Israel said, "Alas! For Yahweh has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab." | |
| 3:11ヨシャパテは言った、「われわれが主に問うことのできる主の預言者はここにいませんか」。イスラエルの王のひとりの家来が答えた、「エリヤの手に水を注いだシャパテの子エリシャがここにいます」。 | 3:11 But Jehoshaphat said, "Isn't there here a prophet of Yahweh, that we may inquire of Yahweh by him?" One of the king of Israel's servants answered, "Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah." | |
| 3:12ヨシャパテは言った、「主の言葉が彼にあります」。そこでイスラエルの王とヨシャパテとエドムの王とは彼のもとへ下っていった。 | 3:12 Jehoshaphat said, "The word of Yahweh is with him." So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him. | |
| 3:13エリシャはイスラエルの王に言った、「わたしはあなたとなんのかかわりがありますか。あなたの父上の預言者たちと母上の預言者たちの所へ行きなさい」。イスラエルの王は彼に言った、「いいえ、主がこの三人の王をモアブの手に渡そうとして召し集められたのです」。 | 3:13 Elisha said to the king of Israel, "What have I to do with you? Go to the prophets of your father, and to the prophets of your mother." The king of Israel said to him, "No; for Yahweh has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab." | |
| 3:14エリシャは言った、「わたしの仕える万軍の主は生きておられます。わたしはユダの王ヨシャパテのためにするのでなければ、あなたを顧み、あなたに会うことはしないのだが、 | 3:14 Elisha said, "As Yahweh of Armies lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I respect the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward you, nor see you. | |
| 3:15いま楽人をわたしの所に連れてきなさい」。そこで楽人が楽を奏すると、主の手が彼に臨んで、 | 3:15 But now bring me a minstrel." It happened, when the minstrel played, that the hand of Yahweh came on him. | |
| 3:16彼は言った、「主はこう仰せられる、『わたしはこの谷を水たまりで満たそう』。 | 3:16 He said, "Thus says Yahweh, 'Make this valley full of trenches.' | |
| 3:17これは主がこう仰せられるからである、『あなたがたは風も雨も見ないのに、この谷に水が満ちて、あなたがたと、その家畜および獣が飲むであろう』。 | 3:17 For thus says Yahweh, 'You will not see wind, neither will you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, and you will drink, both you and your livestock and your animals. | |
| 3:18これは主の目には小さい事である。主はモアブびとをも、あなたがたの手に渡される。 | 3:18 This is but a light thing in the sight of Yahweh. He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand. | |
| 3:19そしてあなたがたはすべての堅固な町と、すべての良い町を撃ち、すべての良い木を切り倒し、すべての水の井戸をふさぎ、石をもって地のすべての良い所を荒すであろう」。 | 3:19 You shall strike every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all springs of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.'" | |
| 3:20あくる朝になって、供え物をささげる時に、水がエドムの方から流れてきて、水は国に満ちた。 | 3:20 It happened in the morning, about the time of offering the offering, that behold, water came by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water. | |
| 3:21さてモアブびとは皆、王たちが自分たちを攻めるために上ってきたのを聞いたので、よろいを着ることのできる者を、老いも若きもことごとく召集して、国境に配置したが、 | 3:21 Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all who were able to put on armor, and upward, and stood on the border. | |
| 3:22朝はやく起きて、太陽がのぼって水を照したとき、モアブびとは目の前に血のように赤い水を見たので、 | 3:22 They rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone on the water, and the Moabites saw the water over against them as red as blood. | |
| 3:23彼らは言った、「これは血だ、きっと王たちが互に戦って殺し合ったのだ。だから、モアブよ、ぶんどりに行きなさい」。 | 3:23 They said, "This is blood. The kings are surely destroyed, and they have struck each other. Now therefore, Moab, to the spoil!" | |
| 3:24しかしモアブびとがイスラエルの陣営に行くと、イスラエルびとは立ちあがってモアブびとを撃ったので、彼らはイスラエルの前から逃げ去った。イスラエルびとは進んで、モアブびとを撃ち、その国にはいって、 | 3:24 When they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land smiting the Moabites. | |
| 3:25町々を滅ぼし、おのおの石を一つずつ、地のすべての良い所に投げて、これに満たし、水の井戸をことごとくふさぎ、良い木をことごとく切り倒して、ただキル・ハラセテはその名を残すのみとなったが、石を投げる者がこれを囲んで撃ち滅ぼした。 | 3:25 They beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land they cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the springs of water, and felled all the good trees, until in Kir Hareseth only they left its stones; however the men armed with slings went about it, and struck it. | |
| 3:26モアブの王は戦いがあまりに激しく、当りがたいのを見て、つるぎを抜く者七百人を率い、エドムの王の所に突き入ろうとしたが、果さなかったので、 | 3:26 When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too severe for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew sword, to break through to the king of Edom; but they could not. | |
| 3:27自分の位を継ぐべきその長子をとって城壁の上で燔祭としてささげた。その時イスラエルに大いなる憤りが臨んだので、彼らは彼をすてて自分の国に帰った。 | 3:27 Then he took his eldest son who would have reigned in his place, and offered him for a burnt offering on the wall. There was great wrath against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land. | |
| 4:1預言者のともがらの、ひとりの妻がエリシャに呼ばわって言った、「あなたのしもべであるわたしの夫が死にました。ごぞんじのように、あなたのしもべは主を恐れる者でありましたが、今、債主がきて、わたしのふたりの子供を取って奴隷にしようとしているのです」。 | 4:1 Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets to Elisha, saying, "Your servant my husband is dead. You know that your servant feared Yahweh. Now the creditor has come to take for himself my two children to be slaves." | |
| 4:2エリシャは彼女に言った、「あなたのために何をしましょうか。あなたの家にどんな物があるか、言いなさい」。彼女は言った、「一びんの油のほかは、はしための家に何もありません」。 | 4:2 Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me: what do you have in the house?" She said, "Your handmaid has nothing in the house, except a pot of oil." | |
| 4:3彼は言った、「ほかへ行って、隣の人々から器を借りなさい。あいた器を借りなさい。少しばかりではいけません。 | 4:3 Then he said, "Go, borrow containers from of all your neighbors, even empty containers. Don't borrow just a few. | |
| 4:4そして内にはいって、あなたの子供たちと一緒に戸の内に閉じこもり、そのすべての器に油をついで、いっぱいになったとき、一つずつそれを取りのけておきなさい」。 | 4:4 You shall go in, and shut the door on you and on your sons, and pour out into all those containers; and you shall set aside that which is full." | |
| 4:5彼女は彼を離れて去り、子供たちと一緒に戸の内に閉じこもり、子供たちの持って来る器に油をついだ。 | 4:5 So she went from him, and shut the door on her and on her sons; they brought the containers to her, and she poured out. | |
| 4:6油が満ちたとき、彼女は子供に「もっと器を持ってきなさい」と言ったが、子供が「器はもうありません」と言ったので、油はとまった。 | 4:6 It happened, when the containers were full, that she said to her son, "Bring me another container." He said to her, "There isn't another container." The oil stopped flowing. | |
| 4:7そこで彼女は神の人のところにきて告げたので、彼は言った、「行って、その油を売って負債を払いなさい。あなたと、あなたの子供たちはその残りで暮すことができます」。 | 4:7 Then she came and told the man of God. He said, "Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest." | |
| 4:8ある日エリシャはシュネムへ行ったが、そこにひとりの裕福な婦人がいて、しきりに彼に食事をすすめたので、彼はそこを通るごとに、そこに寄って食事をした。 | 4:8 It fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman; and she persuaded him to eat bread. So it was, that as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread. | |
| 4:9その女は夫に言った、「いつもわたしたちの所を通るあの人は確かに神の聖なる人です。 | 4:9 She said to her husband, "See now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, that passes by us continually. | |
| 4:10わたしたちは屋上に壁のある一つの小さいへやを造り、そこに寝台と机といすと燭台とを彼のために備えましょう。そうすれば彼がわたしたちの所に来るとき、そこに、はいることができます」。 | 4:10 Please let us make a little room on the wall. Let us set for him there a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp stand. It shall be, when he comes to us, that he shall turn in there." | |
| 4:11さて、ある日エリシャはそこにきて、そのへやにはいり、そこに休んだが、 | 4:11 One day he came there, and he turned into the room and lay there. | |
| 4:12彼はそのしもべゲハジに「このシュネムの女を呼んできなさい」と言った。彼がその女を呼ぶと、彼女はきてエリシャの前に立ったので、 | 4:12 He said to Gehazi his servant, "Call this Shunammite." When he had called her, she stood before him. | |
| 4:13エリシャはゲハジに言った、「彼女に言いなさい、『あなたはこんなにねんごろに、わたしたちのために心を用いられたが、あなたのためには何をしたらよいでしょうか。王または軍勢の長にあなたの事をよろしく頼むことをお望みですか』」。彼女は答えて言った、「わたしは自分の民のうちに住んでいます」。 | 4:13 He said to him, "Say now to her, 'Behold, you have cared for us with all this care. What is to be done for you? Would you like to be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the army?'" She answered, "I dwell among my own people." | |
| 4:14エリシャは言った、「それでは彼女のために何をしようか」。ゲハジは言った、「彼女には子供がなく、その夫は老いています」。 | 4:14 He said, "What then is to be done for her?" Gehazi answered, "Most certainly she has no son, and her husband is old." | |
| 4:15するとエリシャが「彼女を呼びなさい」と言ったので、彼女を呼ぶと、来て戸口に立った。 | 4:15 He said, "Call her." When he had called her, she stood in the door. | |
| 4:16エリシャは言った、「来年の今ごろ、あなたはひとりの子を抱くでしょう」。彼女は言った、「いいえ、わが主よ、神の人よ、はしためを欺かないでください」。 | 4:16 He said, "At this season, when the time comes around, you will embrace a son." She said, "No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your handmaid." | |
| 4:17しかし女はついに身ごもって、エリシャが彼女に言ったように、次の年のそのころに子を産んだ。 | 4:17 The woman conceived, and bore a son at that season, when the time came around, as Elisha had said to her. | |
| 4:18その子が成長して、ある日、刈入れびとの所へ出ていって、父のもとへ行ったが、 | 4:18 When the child was grown, it happened one day that he went out to his father to the reapers. | |
| 4:19父にむかって「頭が、頭が」と言ったので、父はしもべに「彼を母のもとへ背負っていきなさい」と言った。 | 4:19 He said to his father, "My head! My head!" He said to his servant, "Carry him to his mother." | |
| 4:20彼を背負って母のもとへ行くと、昼まで母のひざの上にすわっていたが、ついに死んだ。 | 4:20 When he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees until noon, and then died. | |
| 4:21母は上がっていって、これを神の人の寝台の上に置き、戸を閉じて出てきた。 | 4:21 She went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door on him, and went out. | |
| 4:22そして夫を呼んで言った、「どうぞ、しもべひとりと、ろば一頭をわたしにかしてください。急いで神の人の所へ行って、また帰ってきます」。 | 4:22 She called to her husband, and said, "Please send me one of the servants, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God, and come again." | |
| 4:23夫は言った、「どうしてきょう彼の所へ行こうとするのか。きょうは、ついたちでもなく、安息日でもない」。彼女は言った、「よろしいのです」。 | 4:23 He said, "Why would you want go to him today? It is neither new moon nor Sabbath." She said, "It's alright." | |
| 4:24そして彼女はろばにくらを置いて、しもべに言った、「速く駆けさせなさい。わたしが命じる時でなければ、歩調をゆるめてはなりません」。 | 4:24 Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, "Drive, and go forward! Don't slow down for me, unless I ask you to." | |
| 4:25こうして彼女は出発してカルメル山へ行き、神の人の所へ行った。神の人は彼女の近づいてくるのを見て、しもべゲハジに言った、「向こうから、あのシュネムの女が来る。 | 4:25 So she went, and came to the man of God to Mount Carmel. It happened, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, "Behold, there is the Shunammite. | |
| 4:26すぐ走って行って、彼女を迎えて言いなさい、『あなたは無事ですか。あなたの夫は無事ですか。あなたの子供は無事ですか』」。彼女は答えた、「無事です」。 | 4:26 Please run now to meet her, and ask her, 'Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?'" She answered, "It is well." | |
| 4:27ところが彼女は山にきて、神の人の所へくるとエリシャの足にすがりついた。ゲハジが彼女を追いのけようと近よった時、神の人は言った、「かまわずにおきなさい。彼女は心に苦しみがあるのだから。主はそれを隠して、まだわたしにお告げにならないのだ」。 | 4:27 When she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, "Leave her alone; for her soul is troubled within her; and Yahweh has hidden it from me, and has not told me." | |
| 4:28そこで彼女は言った、「わたしがあなたに子を求めましたか。わたしを欺かないでくださいと言ったではありませんか」。 | 4:28 Then she said, "Did I desire a son of my lord? Didn't I say, Do not deceive me?" | |
| 4:29エリシャはゲハジに言った、「腰をひきからげ、わたしのつえを手に持って行きなさい。だれに会っても、あいさつしてはならない。またあなたにあいさつする者があっても、それに答えてはならない。わたしのつえを子供の顔の上に置きなさい」。 | 4:29 Then he said to Gehazi, "Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand, and go your way. If you meet any man, don't greet him; and if anyone greets you, don't answer him again. Then lay my staff on the face of the child." | |
| 4:30子供の母は言った、「主は生きておられます。あなたも生きておられます。わたしはあなたを離れません」。そこでエリシャはついに立ちあがって彼女のあとについて行った。 | 4:30 The mother of the child said, "As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." He arose, and followed her. | |
| 4:31ゲハジは彼らの先に行って、つえを子供の顔の上に置いたが、なんの声もなく、生きかえったしるしもなかったので、帰ってきてエリシャに会い、彼に告げて「子供はまだ目をさましません」と言った。 | 4:31 Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff on the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Therefore he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, "The child has not awakened." | |
| 4:32エリシャが家にはいって見ると、子供は死んで、寝台の上に横たわっていたので、 | 4:32 When Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid on his bed. | |
| 4:33彼ははいって戸を閉じ、彼らふたりだけ内にいて主に祈った。 | 4:33 He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both, and prayed to Yahweh. | |
| 4:34そしてエリシャが上がって子供の上に伏し、自分の口を子供の口の上に、自分の目を子供の目の上に、自分の両手を子供の両手の上にあて、その身を子供の上に伸ばしたとき、子供のからだは暖かになった。 | 4:34 He went up, and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. He stretched himself on him; and the flesh of the child grew warm. | |
| 4:35こうしてエリシャは再び起きあがって、家の中をあちらこちらと歩み、また上がって、その身を子供の上に伸ばすと、子供は七たびくしゃみをして目を開いた。 | 4:35 Then he returned, and walked in the house once back and forth; and went up, and stretched himself on him. Then the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes. | |
| 4:36エリシャはただちにゲハジを呼んで、「あのシュネムの女を呼べ」と言ったので、彼女を呼んだ。彼女がはいってくるとエリシャは言った、「あなたの子供をつれて行きなさい」。 | 4:36 He called Gehazi, and said, "Call this Shunammite!" So he called her. When she had come in to him, he said, "Take up your son." | |
| 4:37彼女ははいってきて、エリシャの足もとに伏し、地に身をかがめた。そしてその子供を取りあげて出ていった。 | 4:37 Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; and she took up her son, and went out. | |
| 4:38エリシャはギルガルに帰ったが、その地にききんがあった。預言者のともがらが彼の前に座していたので、エリシャはそのしもべに言った、「大きなかまをすえて、預言者のともがらのために野菜の煮物をつくりなさい」。 | 4:38 Elisha came again to Gilgal. There was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said to his servant, "Set on the great pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets." | |
| 4:39彼らのうちのひとりが畑に出ていって青物をつんだが、つる草のあるのを見て、その野うりを一包つんできて、煮物のかまの中に切り込んだ。彼らはそれが何であるかを知らなかったからである。 | 4:39 One went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered of it wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of stew; for they didn't recognize them. | |
| 4:40やがてこれを盛って人々に食べさせようとしたが、彼らがその煮物を食べようとした時、叫んで、「ああ神の人よ、かまの中に、たべると死ぬものがはいっています」と言って、食べることができなかったので、 | 4:40 So they poured out for the men to eat. It happened, as they were eating of the stew, that they cried out, and said, "Man of God, there is death in the pot!" They could not eat of it. | |
| 4:41エリシャは「それでは粉を持って来なさい」と言って、それをかまに投げ入れ、「盛って人々に食べさせなさい」と言った。かまの中には、なんの毒物もなくなった。 | 4:41 But he said, "Then bring meal." He cast it into the pot; and he said, "Pour out for the people, that they may eat." There was no harm in the pot. | |
| 4:42その時、バアル・シャリシャから人がきて、初穂のパンと、大麦のパン二十個と、新穀一袋とを神の人のもとに持ってきたので、エリシャは「人々に与えて食べさせなさい」と言ったが、 | 4:42 A man from Baal Shalishah came, and brought the man of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of grain in his sack. He said, "Give to the people, that they may eat." | |
| 4:43その召使は言った、「どうしてこれを百人の前に供えるのですか」。しかし彼は言った、「人々に与えて食べさせなさい。主はこう言われる、『彼らは食べてなお余すであろう』」。 | 4:43 His servant said, "What, should I set this before a hundred men?" But he said, "Give the people, that they may eat; for thus says Yahweh, 'They will eat, and will have some left over.'" | |
| 4:44そこで彼はそれを彼らの前に供えたので、彼らは食べてなお余した。主の言葉のとおりであった。 | 4:44 So he set it before them, and they ate, and left some of it, according to the word of Yahweh. | |
| 5:1スリヤ王の軍勢の長ナアマンはその主君に重んじられた有力な人であった。主がかつて彼を用いてスリヤに勝利を得させられたからである。彼は大勇士であったが、らい病をわずらっていた。 | 5:1 Now Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him Yahweh had given victory to Syria: he was also a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper. | |
| 5:2さきにスリヤびとが略奪隊を組んで出てきたとき、イスラエルの地からひとりの少女を捕えて行った。彼女はナアマンの妻に仕えたが、 | 5:2 The Syrians had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maiden; and she waited on Naaman's wife. | |
| 5:3その女主人にむかって、「ああ、御主人がサマリヤにいる預言者と共におられたらよかったでしょうに。彼はそのらい病をいやしたことでしょう」と言ったので、 | 5:3 She said to her mistress, "I wish that my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would heal him of his leprosy." | |
| 5:4ナアマンは行って、その主君に、「イスラエルの地からきた娘がこういう事を言いました」と告げると、 | 5:4 Someone went in, and told his lord, saying, "The maiden who is from the land of Israel said this." | |
| 5:5スリヤ王は言った、「それでは行きなさい。わたしはイスラエルの王に手紙を書きましょう」。そこで彼は銀十タラントと、金六千シケルと、晴れ着十着を携えて行った。 | 5:5 The king of Syria said, "Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel." He departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of clothing. | |
| 5:6彼がイスラエルの王に持って行った手紙には、「この手紙があなたにとどいたならば、わたしの家来ナアマンを、あなたにつかわしたことと御承知ください。あなたに彼のらい病をいやしていただくためです」とあった。 | 5:6 He brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, "Now when this letter has come to you, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of his leprosy." | |
| 5:7イスラエルの王はその手紙を読んだ時、衣を裂いて言った、「わたしは殺したり、生かしたりすることのできる神であろうか。どうしてこの人は、らい病人をわたしにつかわして、それをいやせと言うのか。あなたがたは、彼がわたしに争いをしかけているのを知って警戒するがよい」。 | 5:7 It happened, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he tore his clothes, and said, "Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man sends to me to heal a man of his leprosy? But please consider and see how he seeks a quarrel against me." | |
| 5:8神の人エリシャは、イスラエルの王がその衣を裂いたことを聞き、王に人をつかわして言った、「どうしてあなたは衣を裂いたのですか。彼をわたしのもとにこさせなさい。そうすれば彼はイスラエルに預言者のあることを知るようになるでしょう」。 | 5:8 It was so, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, "Why have you torn your clothes? Let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel." | |
| 5:9そこでナアマンは馬と車とを従えてきて、エリシャの家の入口に立った。 | 5:9 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha. | |
| 5:10するとエリシャは彼に使者をつかわして言った、「あなたはヨルダンへ行って七たび身を洗いなさい。そうすれば、あなたの肉はもとにかえって清くなるでしょう」。 | 5:10 Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, "Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall come again to you, and you shall be clean." | |
| 5:11しかしナアマンは怒って去り、そして言った、「わたしは、彼がきっとわたしのもとに出てきて立ち、その神、主の名を呼んで、その箇所の上に手を動かして、らい病をいやすのだろうと思った。 | 5:11 But Naaman was angry, and went away, and said, "Behold, I thought, 'He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of Yahweh his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leper.' | |
| 5:12ダマスコの川アバナとパルパルはイスラエルのすべての川水にまさるではないか。わたしはこれらの川に身を洗って清まることができないのであろうか」。こうして彼は身をめぐらし、怒って去った。 | 5:12 Aren't Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldn't I wash in them, and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage. | |
| 5:13その時、しもべたちは彼に近よって言った、「わが父よ、預言者があなたに、何か大きな事をせよと命じても、あなたはそれをなさらなかったでしょうか。まして彼はあなたに『身を洗って清くなれ』と言うだけではありませんか」。 | 5:13 His servants came near, and spoke to him, and said, "My father, if the prophet had asked you do some great thing, wouldn't you have done it? How much rather then, when he says to you, 'Wash, and be clean?'" | |
| 5:14そこでナアマンは下って行って、神の人の言葉のように七たびヨルダンに身を浸すと、その肉がもとにかえって幼な子の肉のようになり、清くなった。 | 5:14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. | |
| 5:15彼はすべての従者を連れて神の人のもとに帰ってきて、その前に立って言った、「わたしは今、イスラエルのほか、全地のどこにも神のおられないことを知りました。それゆえ、どうぞ、しもべの贈り物を受けてください」。 | 5:15 He returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him; and he said, "See now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel. Now therefore, please take a gift from your servant." | |
| 5:16エリシャは言った、「わたしの仕える主は生きておられる。わたしは何も受けません」。彼はしいて受けさせようとしたが、それを拒んだ。 | 5:16 But he said, "As Yahweh lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none." He urged him to take it; but he refused. | |
| 5:17そこでナアマンは言った、「もしお受けにならないのであれば、どうぞ騾馬に二駄の土をしもべにください。これから後しもべは、他の神には燔祭も犠牲もささげず、ただ主にのみささげます。 | 5:17 Naaman said, "If not, then, please let two mules' burden of earth be given to your servant; for your servant will from now on offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to other gods, but to Yahweh. | |
| 5:18どうぞ主がこの事を、しもべにおゆるしくださるように。すなわち、わたしの主君がリンモンの宮にはいって、そこで礼拝するとき、わたしの手によりかかることがあり、またわたしもリンモンの宮で身をかがめることがありましょう。わたしがリンモンの宮で身をかがめる時、どうぞ主がその事を、しもべにおゆるしくださるように」。 | 5:18 In this thing may Yahweh pardon your servant: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon. When I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, may Yahweh pardon your servant in this thing." | |
| 5:19エリシャは彼に言った、「安んじて行きなさい」。ナアマンがエリシャを離れて少し行ったとき、 | 5:19 He said to him, "Go in peace." So he departed from him a little way. | |
| 5:20神の人エリシャのしもべゲハジは言った、「主人はこのスリヤびとナアマンをいたわって、彼が携えてきた物を受けなかった。主は生きておられる。わたしは彼のあとを追いかけて、彼から少し、物を受けよう」。 | 5:20 But Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, "Behold, my master has spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought. As Yahweh lives, I will run after him, and take something from him." | |
| 5:21そしてゲハジはナアマンのあとを追ったが、ナアマンは自分のあとから彼が走ってくるのを見て、車から降り、彼を迎えて、「変った事があるのですか」と言うと、 | 5:21 So Gehazi followed after Naaman. When Naaman saw one running after him, he came down from the chariot to meet him, and said, "Is all well?" | |
| 5:22彼は言った、「無事です。主人がわたしをつかわして言わせます、『ただいまエフライムの山地から、預言者のともがらのふたりの若者が、わたしのもとに来ましたので、どうぞ彼らに銀一タラントと晴れ着二着を与えてください』」。 | 5:22 He said, "All is well. My master has sent me, saying, 'Behold, even now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of clothing.'" | |
| 5:23ナアマンは、「どうぞ二タラントを受けてください」と言って彼にしい、銀二タラントを二つの袋に入れ、晴れ着二着を添えて、自分のふたりのしもべに渡したので、彼らはそれを負ってゲハジの先に立って進んだが、 | 5:23 Naaman said, "Be pleased to take two talents." He urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and laid them on two of his servants; and they carried them before him. | |
| 5:24彼は丘にきたとき、それを彼らの手から受け取って家のうちにおさめ、人々を送りかえしたので、彼らは去った。 | 5:24 When he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and stored them in the house. Then he let the men go, and they departed. | |
| 5:25彼がはいって主人の前に立つと、エリシャは彼に言った、「ゲハジよ、どこへ行ってきたのか」。彼は言った、「しもべはどこへも行きません」。 | 5:25 But he went in, and stood before his master. Elisha said to him, "Where did you come from, Gehazi?" He said, "Your servant went nowhere." | |
| 5:26エリシャは言った、「あの人が車をはなれて、あなたを迎えたとき、わたしの心はあなたと一緒にそこにいたではないか。今は金を受け、着物を受け、オリブ畑、ぶどう畑、羊、牛、しもべ、はしためを受ける時であろうか。 | 5:26 He said to him, "Didn't my heart go with you, when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and olive groves and vineyards, and sheep and cattle, and male servants and female servants? | |
| 5:27それゆえ、ナアマンのらい病はあなたに着き、ながくあなたの子孫に及ぶであろう」。彼がエリシャの前を出ていくとき、らい病が発して雪のように白くなっていた。 | 5:27 Therefore the leprosy of Naaman will cling to you and to your seed forever." He went out from his presence a leper, as white as snow. | |
| 6:1さて預言者のともがらはエリシャに言った、「わたしたちがあなたと共に住んでいる所は狭くなりましたので、 | 6:1 The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, "See now, the place where we dwell before you is too small for us. | |
| 6:2わたしたちをヨルダンに行かせ、そこからめいめい一本ずつ材木を取ってきて、わたしたちの住む場所を造らせてください」。エリシャは言った、「行きなさい」。 | 6:2 Please let us go to the Jordan, and every man take a beam from there, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell." He answered, "Go!" | |
| 6:3時にそのひとりが、「どうぞあなたも、しもべらと一緒に行ってください」と言ったので、エリシャは「行きましょう」と答えた。 | 6:3 One said, "Please be pleased to go with your servants." He answered, "I will go." | |
| 6:4そしてエリシャは彼らと一緒に行った。彼らはヨルダンへ行って木を切り倒したが、 | 6:4 So he went with them. When they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood. | |
| 6:5ひとりが材木を切り倒しているとき、おのの頭が水の中に落ちたので、彼は叫んで言った。「ああ、わが主よ。これは借りたものです」。 | 6:5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water. Then he cried, and said, "Alas, my master! For it was borrowed." | |
| 6:6神の人は言った、「それはどこに落ちたのか」。彼がその場所を知らせると、エリシャは一本の枝を切り落し、そこに投げ入れて、そのおのの頭を浮ばせ、 | 6:6 The man of God asked, "Where did it fall?" He showed him the place. He cut down a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron float. | |
| 6:7「それを取りあげよ」と言ったので、その人は手を伸べてそれを取った。 | 6:7 He said, "Take it." So he put out his hand and took it. | |
| 6:8かつてスリヤの王がイスラエルと戦っていたとき、家来たちと評議して「しかじかの所にわたしの陣を張ろう」と言うと、 | 6:8 Now the king of Syria was warring against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, "My camp will be in such and such a place." | |
| 6:9神の人はイスラエルの王に「あなたは用心して、この所をとおってはなりません。スリヤびとがそこに下ってきますから」と言い送った。 | 6:9 The man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, "Beware that you not pass such a place; for the Syrians are coming down there." | |
| 6:10それでイスラエルの王は神の人が自分に告げてくれた所に人をつかわし、警戒したので、その所でみずからを防ぎえたことは一、二回にとどまらなかった。 | 6:10 The king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once nor twice. | |
| 6:11スリヤの王はこの事のために心を悩まし、家来たちを召して言った、「われわれのうち、だれがイスラエルの王と通じているのか、わたしに告げる者はないか」。 | 6:11 The heart of the king of Syria was very troubled about this. He called his servants, and said to them, "Won't you show me which of us is for the king of Israel?" | |
| 6:12ひとりの家来が言った、「王、わが主よ、だれも通じている者はいません。ただイスラエルの預言者エリシャが、あなたが寝室で語られる言葉でもイスラエルの王に告げるのです」。 | 6:12 One of his servants said, "No, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom." | |
| 6:13王は言った、「彼がどこにいるか行って捜しなさい。わたしは人をやって彼を捕えよう」。時に「彼はドタンにいる」と王に告げる者があったので、 | 6:13 He said, "Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him." It was told him, saying, "Behold, he is in Dothan." | |
| 6:14王はそこに馬と戦車および大軍をつかわした。彼らは夜のうちに来て、その町を囲んだ。 | 6:14 Therefore he sent horses, chariots, and a great army there. They came by night, and surrounded the city. | |
| 6:15神の人の召使が朝早く起きて出て見ると、軍勢が馬と戦車をもって町を囲んでいたので、その若者はエリシャに言った、「ああ、わが主よ、わたしたちはどうしましょうか」。 | 6:15 When the servant of the man of God had risen early, and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was around the city. His servant said to him, "Alas, my master! What shall we do?" | |
| 6:16エリシャは言った、「恐れることはない。われわれと共にいる者は彼らと共にいる者よりも多いのだから」。 | 6:16 He answered, "Don't be afraid; for those who are with us are more than those who are with them." | |
| 6:17そしてエリシャが祈って「主よ、どうぞ、彼の目を開いて見させてください」と言うと、主はその若者の目を開かれたので、彼が見ると、火の馬と火の戦車が山に満ちてエリシャのまわりにあった。 | 6:17 Elisha prayed, and said, "Yahweh, please open his eyes, that he may see." Yahweh opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha. | |
| 6:18スリヤびとがエリシャの所に下ってきた時、エリシャは主に祈って言った、「どうぞ、この人々の目をくらましてください」。するとエリシャの言葉のとおりに彼らの目をくらまされた。 | 6:18 When they came down to him, Elisha prayed to Yahweh, and said, "Please strike this people with blindness." He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha. | |
| 6:19そこでエリシャは彼らに「これはその道ではない。これはその町でもない。わたしについてきなさい。わたしはあなたがたを、あなたがたの尋ねる人の所へ連れて行きましょう」と言って、彼らをサマリヤへ連れて行った。 | 6:19 Elisha said to them, "This is not the way, neither is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek." He led them to Samaria. | |
| 6:20彼らがサマリヤにはいったとき、エリシャは言った、「主よ、この人々の目を開いて見させてください」。主は彼らの目を開かれたので、彼らが見ると、見よ、彼らはサマリヤのうちに来ていた。 | 6:20 It happened, when they had come into Samaria, that Elisha said, "Yahweh, open the eyes of these men, that they may see." Yahweh opened their eyes, and they saw; and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria. | |
| 6:21イスラエルの王は彼らを見て、エリシャに言った、「わが父よ、彼らを撃ち殺しましょうか。彼らを撃ち殺しましょうか」。 | 6:21 The king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, "My father, shall I strike them? Shall I strike them?" | |
| 6:22エリシャは答えた、「撃ち殺してはならない。あなたはつるぎと弓をもって、捕虜にした者どもを撃ち殺すでしょうか。パンと水を彼らの前に供えて食い飲みさせ、その主君のもとへ行かせなさい」。 | 6:22 He answered, "You shall not strike them. Would you strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master." | |
| 6:23そこで王は彼らのために盛んなふるまいを設けた。彼らが食い飲みを終ると彼らを去らせたので、その主君の所へ帰った。スリヤの略奪隊は再びイスラエルの地にこなかった。 | 6:23 He prepared great feast for them. When they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. The bands of Syria stopped raiding the land of Israel. | |
| 6:24この後スリヤの王ベネハダデはその全軍を集め、上ってきてサマリヤを攻め囲んだので、 | 6:24 It happened after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria. | |
| 6:25サマリヤに激しいききんが起った。すなわち彼らがこれを攻め囲んだので、ついに、ろばの頭一つが銀八十シケルで売られ、はとのふん一カブの四分の一が銀五シケルで売られるようになった。 | 6:25 There was a great famine in Samaria. Behold, they besieged it, until a donkey's head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver. | |
| 6:26イスラエルの王が城壁の上をとおっていた時、ひとりの女が彼に呼ばわって、「わが主、王よ、助けてください」と言ったので、 | 6:26 As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, saying, "Help, my lord, O king!" | |
| 6:27彼は言った、「もし主があなたを助けられないならば、何をもってわたしがあなたを助けることができよう。打ち場の物をもってか、酒ぶねの物をもってか」。 | 6:27 He said, "If Yahweh doesn't help you, from where could I help you? From of the threshing floor, or from the winepress?" | |
| 6:28そして王は女に尋ねた、「何事なのですか」。彼女は答えた、「この女はわたしにむかって『あなたの子をください。わたしたちは、きょうそれを食べ、あす、わたしの子を食べましょう』と言いました。 | 6:28 The king said to her, "What ails you?" She answered, "This woman said to me, 'Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.' | |
| 6:29それでわたしたちは、まずわたしの子を煮て食べましたが、次の日わたしが彼女にむかって『あなたの子をください。わたしたちはそれを食べましょう』と言いますと、彼女はその子を隠しました」。 | 6:29 So we boiled my son, and ate him: and I said to her on the next day, 'Give your son, that we may eat him;' and she has hidden her son." | |
| 6:30王はその女の言葉を聞いて、衣を裂き、 王は城壁の上をとおっていたが、民が見ると、その身に荒布を着けていた | 6:30 It happened, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he tore his clothes (now he was passing by on the wall); and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth underneath on his flesh. | |
| 6:31そして王は言った「きょう、シャパテの子エリシャの首がその肩の上にすわっているならば、神がどんなにでもわたしを罰してくださるように」。 | 6:31 Then he said, "God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stay on him this day." | |
| 6:32さてエリシャはその家に座していたが、長老たちもきて彼と共に座した。王は自分の所から人をつかわしたが、エリシャはその使者がまだ着かないうちに長老たちに言った、「あなたがたは、この人を殺す者がわたしの首を取るために、人をつかわすのを見ますか。その使者がきたならば、戸を閉じて、内に入れてはなりません。彼のうしろに、その主君の足音がするではありませんか」。 | 6:32 But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. Then the king sent a man from before him; but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, "Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Behold, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold the door shut against him. Isn't the sound of his master's feet behind him?" | |
| 6:33彼がなお彼らと語っているうちに、王は彼のもとに下ってきて言った、「この災は主から出たのです。わたしはどうしてこの上、主を待たなければならないでしょうか」。 | 6:33 While he was still talking with them, behold, the messenger came down to him. Then he said, "Behold, this evil is from Yahweh. Why should I wait for Yahweh any longer?" | |
| 7:1エリシャは言った、「主の言葉を聞きなさい。主はこう仰せられる、『あすの今ごろサマリヤの門で、麦粉一セアを一シケルで売り、大麦二セアを一シケルで売るようになるであろう』」。 | 7:1 Elisha said, "Hear the word of Yahweh. Thus says Yahweh, 'Tomorrow about this time a measure of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.'" | |
| 7:2時にひとりの副官すなわち王がその人の手によりかかっていた者が神の人に答えて言った、「たとい主が天に窓を開かれても、そんな事がありえましょうか」。エリシャは言った、「あなたは自分の目をもってそれを見るであろう。しかしそれを食べることはなかろう」。 | 7:2 Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, "Behold, if Yahweh made windows in heaven, could this thing be?" He said, "Behold, you shall see it with your eyes, but shall not eat of it." | |
| 7:3さて町の門の入口に四人のらい病人がいたが、彼らは互に言った、「われわれはどうしてここに座して死を待たねばならないのか。 | 7:3 Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate. They said one to another, "Why do we sit here until we die? | |
| 7:4われわれがもし町にはいろうといえば、町には食物が尽きているから、われわれはそこで死ぬであろう。しかしここに座していても死ぬのだ。いっその事、われわれはスリヤびとの陣営へ逃げて行こう。もし彼らがわれわれを生かしておいてくれるならば、助かるが、たといわれわれを殺しても死ぬばかりだ」。 | 7:4 If we say, 'We will enter into the city,' then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. If we sit still here, we also die. Now therefore come, and let us surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they save us alive, we will live; and if they kill us, we will only die." | |
| 7:5そこで彼らはスリヤびとの陣営へ行こうと、たそがれに立ちあがったが、スリヤびとの陣営のほとりに行って見ると、そこにはだれもいなかった。 | 7:5 They rose up in the twilight, to go to the camp of the Syrians. When they had come to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, there was no man there. | |
| 7:6これは主がスリヤびとの軍勢に戦車の音、馬の音、大軍の音を聞かせられたので、彼らは互に「見よ、イスラエルの王がわれわれを攻めるために、ヘテびとの王たちおよびエジプトの王たちを雇ってきて、われわれを襲うのだ」と言って、 | 7:6 For the Lord {The word translated "Lord" is "Adonai."} had made the army of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great army: and they said one to another, Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come on us. | |
| 7:7たそがれに立って逃げ、その天幕と、馬と、ろばを捨て、陣営をそのままにしておいて、命を全うしようと逃げたからである。 | 7:7 Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their donkeys, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life. | |
| 7:8そこでらい病人たちは陣営のほとりに行き、一つの天幕にはいって食い飲みし、そこから金銀、衣服を持ち出してそれを隠し、また来て、他の天幕に入り、そこからも持ち出してそれを隠した。 | 7:8 When these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drink, and carried there silver, and gold, and clothing, and went and hid it. Then they came back, and entered into another tent, and carried there also, and went and hid it. | |
| 7:9そして彼らは互に言った、「われわれのしている事はよくない。きょうは良いおとずれのある日であるのに、黙っていて、夜明けまで待つならば、われわれは罰をこうむるであろう。さあ、われわれは行って王の家族に告げよう」。 | 7:9 Then they said one to another, "We aren't doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we keep silent. If we wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let us go and tell the king's household." | |
| 7:10そこで彼らは来て、町の門を守る者を呼んで言った、「わたしたちがスリヤびとの陣営に行って見ると、そこにはだれの姿も見えず、また人声もなく、ただ、馬とろばがつないであり、天幕はそのままでした」。 | 7:10 So they came and called to the porter of the city; and they told them, saying, "We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were." | |
| 7:11そこで門を守る者は呼ばわって、それを王の家族のうちに知らせた。 | 7:11 He called the porters; and they told it to the king's household within. | |
| 7:12王は夜のうちに起きて、家来たちに言った、「スリヤびとがわれわれに対して図っている事をあなたがたに告げよう。彼らは、われわれの飢えているのを知って、陣営を出て野に隠れ、『イスラエルびとが町を出たら、いけどりにして、町に押し入ろう』と考えているのだ」。 | 7:12 The king arose in the night, and said to his servants, "I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry. Therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, 'When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city.'" | |
| 7:13家来のひとりが答えて言った、「人々に、ここに残っている馬のうち五頭を連れてこさせてください。ここに残っているこれらの人々は、すでに滅びうせたイスラエルの全群衆と同じ運命にあうのですから。わたしたちは人をやってうかがわせましょう」。 | 7:13 One of his servants answered, "Please let some take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are left in it. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are consumed. Let us send and see." | |
| 7:14そこで彼らはふたりの騎兵を選んだ。王はそれをつかわし、「行って見よ」と言って、スリヤびとの軍勢のあとをつけさせたので、 | 7:14 They took therefore two chariots with horses; and the king sent after the army of the Syrians, saying, "Go and see." | |
| 7:15彼らはそのあとを追ってヨルダンまで行ったが、道にはすべて、スリヤびとがあわてて逃げる時に捨てていった衣服と武器が散らばっていた。その使者は帰ってきて、これを王に告げた。 | 7:15 They went after them to the Jordan; and behold, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. The messengers returned, and told the king. | |
| 7:16そこで民が出ていって、スリヤびとの陣営をかすめたので、麦粉一セアは一シケルで売られ、大麦二セアは一シケルで売られ、主の言葉のとおりになった。 | 7:16 The people went out, and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of Yahweh. | |
| 7:17王は自分がその人の手によりかかっていた、あの副官を立てて門を管理させたが、民は門で彼を踏みつけたので、彼は死んだ。すなわち、王が神の人のところに下ってきた時、神の人が言ったとおりであった。 | 7:17 The king appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to be in charge of the gate: and the people trod on him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him. | |
| 7:18これは神の人が王にむかって、「あすの今ごろ、サマリヤの門で大麦二セアを一シケルで売り、麦粉一セアを一シケルで売るようになるであろう」と言ったときに、 | 7:18 It happened, as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, "Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria"; | |
| 7:19その副官が神の人に答えて、「たとい主が天に窓を開かれても、そんな事がありえようか」と言ったからである。そのとき神の人は「あなたは自分の目をもってそれを見るであろう。しかしそれを食べることはなかろう」と言ったが、 | 7:19 and that captain answered the man of God, and said, "Now, behold, if Yahweh should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be?" and he said, "Behold, you shall see it with your eyes, but shall not eat of it." | |
| 7:20これはそのとおり彼に臨んだ。すなわち民が門で彼を踏みつけたので彼は死んだ。 | 7:20 It happened like that to him; for the people trod on him in the gate, and he died. | |
| 8:1エリシャはかつて、その子を生きかえらせてやった女に言ったことがある。「あなたは、ここを立って、あなたの家族と共に行き、寄留しようと思う所に寄留しなさい。主がききんを呼び下されたので、七年の間それがこの地に臨むから」。 | 8:1 Now Elisha had spoken to the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, "Arise, and go, you and your household, and stay for a while wherever you can; for Yahweh has called for a famine. It shall also come on the land seven years." | |
| 8:2そこで女は立って神の人の言葉のようにし、その家族と共に行ってペリシテびとの地に七年寄留した。 | 8:2 The woman arose, and did according to the word of the man of God. She went with her household, and lived in the land of the Philistines seven years. | |
| 8:3七年たって後、女はペリシテびとの地から帰ってきて、自分の家と畑のために王に訴えようと出ていった。 | 8:3 It happened at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines. Then she went forth to cry to the king for her house and for her land. | |
| 8:4時に王は神の人のしもべゲハジにむかって「エリシャがしたもろもろの大きな事をわたしに話してください」と言って、彼と物語っていた。 | 8:4 Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, "Please tell me all the great things that Elisha has done." | |
| 8:5すなわちエリシャが死人を生きかえらせた事を、ゲハジが王と物語っていたとき、その子を生きかえらせてもらった女が、自分の家と畑のために王に訴えてきたので、ゲハジは言った、「わが主、王よ、これがその女です。またこれがその子で、エリシャが生きかえらせたのです」。 | 8:5 It happened, as he was telling the king how he had restored to life him who was dead, that behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. Gehazi said, "My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life." | |
| 8:6王がその女に尋ねると、彼女は王に話したので、王は彼女のためにひとりの役人に命じて言った、「すべて彼女に属する物、ならびに彼女がこの地を去った日から今までのその畑の産物をことごとく彼女に返しなさい」。 | 8:6 When the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her a certain officer, saying, "Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now." | |
| 8:7さてエリシャはダマスコに来た。時にスリヤの王ベネハダデは病気であったが、「神の人がここに来た」と告げる者があったので、 | 8:7 Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick. It was told him, saying, "The man of God has come here." | |
| 8:8王はハザエルに言った、「贈り物を携えて行って神の人を迎え、彼によって主に『わたしのこの病気はなおりましょうか』と言って尋ねなさい」。 | 8:8 The king said to Hazael, "Take a present in your hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of Yahweh by him, saying, 'Will I recover from this sickness?'" | |
| 8:9そこでハザエルは彼を迎えようと、ダマスコのもろもろの良い物をらくだ四十頭に載せ、贈り物として携え行き、エリシャの前に立って言った、「あなたの子、スリヤの王ベネハダデがわたしをあなたにつかわして、『わたしのこの病気はなおりましょうか』と言わせています」。 | 8:9 So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden, and came and stood before him, and said, "Your son Benhadad king of Syria has sent me to you, saying, 'Will I recover from this sickness?'" | |
| 8:10エリシャは彼に言った、「行って彼に『あなたは必ずなおります』と告げなさい。ただし主はわたしに、彼が必ず死ぬことを示されました」。 | 8:10 Elisha said to him, "Go, tell him, 'You shall surely recover;' however Yahweh has shown me that he shall surely die." | |
| 8:11そして神の人がひとみを定めて彼の恥じるまでに見つめ、やがて泣き出したので、 | 8:11 He settled his gaze steadfastly on him, until he was ashamed. Then the man of God wept. | |
| 8:12ハザエルは言った、「わが主よ、どうして泣かれるのですか」。エリシャは答えた、「わたしはあなたがイスラエルの人々にしようとする害悪を知っているからです。すなわち、あなたは彼らの城に火をかけ、つるぎをもって若者を殺し、幼な子を投げうち、妊娠の女を引き裂くでしょう」。 | 8:12 Hazael said, "Why do you weep, my lord?" He answered, "Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel. You will set their strongholds on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword, and will dash in pieces their little ones, and rip up their women with child." | |
| 8:13ハザエルは言った、「しもべは一匹の犬にすぎないのに、どうしてそんな大きな事をすることができましょう」。エリシャは言った、「主がわたしに示されました。あなたはスリヤの王となるでしょう」。 | 8:13 Hazael said, "But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he should do this great thing?" Elisha answered, "Yahweh has shown me that you will be king over Syria." | |
| 8:14彼がエリシャのもとを去って、主君のところへ行くと、「エリシャはあなたになんと言ったか」と尋ねられたので、「あなたが必ずなおるでしょうと、彼はわたしに告げました」と答えた。 | 8:14 Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, "What did Elisha say to you?" He answered, "He told me that you would surely recover." | |
| 8:15しかし翌日になってハザエルは布を取って水に浸し、それをもって王の顔をおおったので、王は死んだ。ハザエルは彼に代って王となった。 | 8:15 It happened on the next day, that he took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died. Then Hazael reigned in his place. | |
| 8:16イスラエルの王アハブの子ヨラムの第五年に、ユダの王ヨシャパテの子ヨラムが位についた。 | 8:16 In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being king of Judah then, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign. | |
| 8:17彼は王となったとき三十二歳で、八年の間エルサレムで世を治めた。 | 8:17 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign. He reigned eight years in Jerusalem. | |
| 8:18彼はアハブの家がしたようにイスラエルの王たちの道に歩んだ。アハブの娘が彼の妻であったからである。彼は主の目の前に悪をおこなったが、 | 8:18 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab; for he had the daughter of Ahab as wife. He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh. | |
| 8:19主はしもべダビデのためにユダを滅ぼすことを好まれなかった。すなわち主は彼とその子孫に常にともしびを与えると、彼に約束されたからである。 | 8:19 However Yahweh would not destroy Judah, for David his servant's sake, as he promised him to give to him a lamp for his children always. | |
| 8:20ヨラムの世にエドムがそむいてユダの支配を脱し、みずから王を立てたので、 | 8:20 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves. | |
| 8:21ヨラムはすべての戦車を従えてザイルにわたって行き、その戦車の指揮官たちと共に、夜のうちに立ちあがって、彼を包囲しているエドムびとを撃った。しかしヨラムの軍隊は天幕に逃げ帰った。 | 8:21 Then Joram passed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents. | |
| 8:22エドムはこのようにそむいてユダの支配を脱し、今日に至っている。リブナもまた同時にそむいた。 | 8:22 So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time. | |
| 8:23ヨラムのその他の事績および彼がしたすべての事は、ユダの歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。 | 8:23 The rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? | |
| 8:24ヨラムはその先祖たちと共に眠って、ダビデの町にその先祖たちと共に葬られ、その子アハジヤが代って王となった。 | 8:24 Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place. | |
| 8:25イスラエルの王アハブの子ヨラムの第十二年にユダの王ヨラムの子アハジヤが位についた。 | 8:25 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign. | |
| 8:26アハジヤは王となったとき二十二歳で、エルサレムで一年世を治めた。その母は名をアタリヤと言って、イスラエルの王オムリの孫娘であった。 | 8:26 Twenty-two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri king of Israel. | |
| 8:27アハジヤはまたアハブの家の道に歩み、アハブの家がしたように主の目の前に悪をおこなった。彼はアハブの家の婿であったからである。 | 8:27 He walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as did the house of Ahab; for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab. | |
| 8:28彼はアハブの子ヨラムと共に行って、スリヤの王ハザエルとラモテ・ギレアデで戦ったが、スリヤびとらはヨラムに傷を負わせた。 | 8:28 He went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead: and the Syrians wounded Joram. | |
| 8:29ヨラム王はそのスリヤの王ハザエルと戦うときにラマでスリヤびとに負わされた傷をいやすため、エズレルに帰ったが、ユダの王ヨラムの子アハジヤはアハブの子ヨラムが病んでいたので、エズレルに下って彼をおとずれた。 | 8:29 King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick. | |
| 9:1時に預言者エリシャは預言者のともがらのひとりを呼んで言った、「腰をひきからげ、この油のびんを携えて、ラモテ・ギレアデへ行きなさい。 | 9:1 Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, "Put your belt on your waist, take this vial of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilead. | |
| 9:2そこに着いたならば、ニムシの子ヨシャパテの子であるエヒウを尋ね出し、内にはいって彼をその同僚たちのうちから立たせて、奥の間に連れて行き、 | 9:2 When you come there, find Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brothers, and carry him to an inner room. | |
| 9:3油のびんを取って、その頭に注ぎ、『主はこう仰せられる、わたしはあなたに油を注いでイスラエルの王とする』と言い、そして戸をあけて逃げ去りなさい。とどまってはならない」。 | 9:3 Then take the vial of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, 'Thus says Yahweh, "I have anointed you king over Israel."' Then open the door, flee, and don't wait." | |
| 9:4そこで預言者であるその若者はラモテ・ギレアデへ行ったが、 | 9:4 So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramoth Gilead. | |
| 9:5来て見ると、軍勢の長たちが会議中であったので、彼は「将軍よ、わたしはあなたに申しあげる事があります」と言うと、エヒウが答えて、「われわれすべてのうちの、だれにですか」と言ったので、彼は「将軍よ、あなたにです」と言った。 | 9:5 When he came, behold, the captains of the army were sitting. Then he said, "I have a message for you, captain." Jehu said, "To which of us all?" He said, "To you, O captain." | |
| 9:6するとエヒウが立ちあがって家にはいったので、若者はその頭に油を注いで彼に言った、「イスラエルの神、主はこう仰せられます、『わたしはあなたに油を注いで、主の民イスラエルの王とする。 | 9:6 He arose, and went into the house. Then he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, "Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, 'I have anointed you king over the people of Yahweh, even over Israel. | |
| 9:7あなたは主君アハブの家を撃ち滅ぼさなければならない。それによってわたしは、わたしのしもべである預言者たちの血と、主のすべてのしもべたちの血をイゼベルに報いる。 | 9:7 You shall strike the house of Ahab your master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Yahweh, at the hand of Jezebel. | |
| 9:8アハブの全家は滅びるであろう。アハブに属する男は、イスラエルにいて、つながれた者も、自由な者も、ことごとくわたしは断ち、 | 9:8 For the whole house of Ahab shall perish. I will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, {or, male} both him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel. | |
| 9:9アハブの家をネバテの子ヤラベアムのようにし、アヒヤの子バアシャの家のようにする。 | 9:9 I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah. | |
| 9:10犬がイズレルの地域でイゼベルを食い、彼女を葬る者はないであろう』」。そして彼は戸をあけて逃げ去った。 | 9:10 The dogs will eat Jezebel on the plot of ground of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her.'" He opened the door, and fled. | |
| 9:11やがてエヒウが主君の家来たちの所へ出て来ると、彼らはエヒウに言った、「変った事はありませんか。あの気違いは、なんのためにあなたの所にきたのですか」。エヒウは彼らに言った、「あなたがたは、あの人を知っています。またその言う事も知っています」。 | 9:11 Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said to him, "Is all well? Why did this mad fellow come to you?" He said to them, "You know the man and what his talk was." | |
| 9:12彼らは言った、「それは違います。どうぞわれわれに話してください」。そこでエヒウは言った、「彼はこうこう、わたしに告げて言いました、『主はこう仰せられる、わたしはあなたに油を注いで、イスラエルの王とする』」。 | 9:12 They said, "That is a lie. Tell us now." He said, "He said to me, 'Thus says Yahweh, I have anointed you king over Israel.'" | |
| 9:13すると彼らは急いで、おのおの衣服をとり、それを階段の上のエヒウの下に敷き、ラッパを吹いて「エヒウは王である」と言った。 | 9:13 Then they hurried, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew the trumpet, saying, "Jehu is king." | |
| 9:14こうしてニムシの子であるヨシャパテの子エヒウはヨラムにそむいた。（ヨラムはイスラエルをことごとく率いて、ラモテ・ギレアデでスリヤの王ハザエルを防いだが、 | 9:14 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram was keeping Ramoth Gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria; | |
| 9:15ヨラム王はスリヤの王ハザエルと戦った時に、スリヤびとに負わされた傷をいやすため、エズレルに帰っていた。）エヒウは言った、「もしこれがあなたがたの本心であるならば、ひとりもこの町から忍び出て、これをエズレルに告げてはならない」。 | 9:15 but king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) Jehu said, "If this is your thinking, then let no one escape and go out of the city, to go to tell it in Jezreel." | |
| 9:16そしてエヒウは車に乗ってエズレルへ行った。ヨラムがそこに伏していたからである。またユダの王アハジヤはヨラムを見舞うために下っていた。 | 9:16 So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram. | |
| 9:17さてエズレルのやぐらに、ひとりの物見が立っていたが、エヒウの群衆が来るのを見て、「群衆が見える」と言ったので、ヨラムは言った、「ひとりを馬に乗せてつかわし、それに会わせて『平安ですか』と言わせなさい」。 | 9:17 Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, "I see a company." Joram said, "Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, 'Is it peace?'" | |
| 9:18そこでひとりが馬に乗って行き、彼に会って言った、「王はこう仰せられます、『平安ですか』」。エヒウ言った、「あなたは平安となんの関係がありますか。わたしのあとについてきなさい」。物見はまた告げて言った、「使者は彼らの所へ行きましたが、帰ってきません」。 | 9:18 So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, "Thus says the king, 'Is it peace?'" Jehu said, "What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me!" The watchman said, "The messenger came to them, but he isn't coming back." | |
| 9:19そこで再び人を馬でつかわしたので、彼らの所へ行って言った、「王はこう仰せられます、『平安ですか』」。エヒウは答えて言った、「あなたは平安となんの関係がありますか。わたしのあとについてきなさい」。 | 9:19 Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them, and said, "Thus says the king, 'Is it peace?'" Jehu answered, "What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me!" | |
| 9:20物見はまた告げて言った、「彼も、彼らの所へ行きましたが帰ってきません。あの車の操縦はニムシの子エヒウの操縦するのに似て、猛烈な勢いで操縦して来ます」。 | 9:20 The watchman said, "He came to them, and isn't coming back. The driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he drives furiously." | |
| 9:21そこでヨラムが「車を用意せよ」と言ったので、車を用意すると、イスラエルの王ヨラムと、ユダの王アハジヤは、おのおのその車で出て行った。すなわちエヒウに会うために出ていって、エズレルびとナボテの地所で彼に会った。 | 9:21 Joram said, "Get ready!" They got his chariot ready. Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite. | |
| 9:22ヨラムはエヒウを見て言った、「エヒウよ、平安ですか」。エヒウは答えた、「あなたの母イゼベルの姦淫と魔術とが、こんなに多いのに、どうして平安でありえましょうか」。 | 9:22 It happened, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, "Is it peace, Jehu?" He answered, "What peace, so long as the prostitution of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft abound?" | |
| 9:23その時ヨラムは車をめぐらして逃げ、アハジヤにむかって、「アハジヤよ、反逆です」と言うと、 | 9:23 Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, "There is treason, Ahaziah!" | |
| 9:24エヒウは手に弓をひきしぼって、ヨラムの両肩の間を射たので、矢は彼の心臓を貫き、彼は車の中に倒れた。 | 9:24 Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and struck Joram between his arms; and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot. | |
| 9:25エヒウはその副官ビデカルに言った、「彼を取りあげて、エズレルびとナボテの畑に投げ捨てなさい。かつて、わたしとあなたと、ふたり共に乗って、彼の父アハブに従ったとき、主が彼について、この預言をされたことを記憶しなさい。 | 9:25 Then Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, "Pick him up, and throw him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how, when you and I rode together after Ahab his father, Yahweh laid this burden on him: | |
| 9:26すなわち主は言われた、『まことに、わたしはきのうナボテの血と、その子らの血を見た』。また主は言われた、『わたしはこの地所であなたに報復する』と。それゆえ彼を取りあげて、その地所に投げすて、主の言葉のようにしなさい」。 | 9:26 'Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons,' says Yahweh; 'and I will repay you in this plot of ground,' says Yahweh. Now therefore take and cast him onto the plot of ground, according to the word of Yahweh." | |
| 9:27ユダの王アハジヤはこれを見てベテハガンの方へ逃げたが、エヒウはそのあとを追い、「彼をも撃て」と言ったので、イブレアムのほとりのグルの坂で車の中の彼を撃った。彼はメギドまで逃げていって、そこで死んだ。 | 9:27 But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. Jehu followed after him, and said, "Strike him also in the chariot!" They struck him at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. He fled to Megiddo, and died there. | |
| 9:28その家来たちは彼を車に載せてエルサレムに運び、ダビデの町で彼の墓にその先祖たちと共に葬った。 | 9:28 His servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the city of David. | |
| 9:29アハブの子ヨラムの第十一年にアハジヤはユダの王となったのである。 | 9:29 In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah. | |
| 9:30エヒウがエズレルにきた時、イゼベルはそれを聞いて、その目を塗り、髪を飾って窓から望み見たが、 | 9:30 When Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and attired her head, and looked out at the window. | |
| 9:31エヒウが門にはいってきたので、「主君を殺したジムリよ、無事ですか」と言った。 | 9:31 As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, "Do you come in peace, Zimri, you murderer of your master?" | |
| 9:32するとエヒウは顔をあげて窓にむかい、「だれか、わたしに味方する者があるか。だれかあるか」と言うと、二、三人の宦官がエヒウを望み見たので、 | 9:32 He lifted up his face to the window, and said, "Who is on my side? Who?" Two or three eunuchs looked out at him. | |
| 9:33エヒウは「彼女を投げ落せ」と言った。彼らは彼女を投げ落したので、その血が壁と馬とにはねかかった。そして馬は彼女を踏みつけた。 | 9:33 He said, "Throw her down!" So they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses. Then he trampled her under foot. | |
| 9:34エヒウは内にはいって食い飲みし、そして言った、「あののろわれた女を見、彼女を葬りなさい。彼女は王の娘なのだ」。 | 9:34 When he had come in, he ate and drink; and he said, "See now to this cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king's daughter." | |
| 9:35しかし彼らが彼女を葬ろうとして行って見ると、頭蓋骨と、足と、たなごころのほか何もなかったので、 | 9:35 They went to bury her; but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands. | |
| 9:36帰って、彼に告げると、彼は言った、「これは主が、そのしもべ、テシベびとエリヤによってお告げになった言葉である。すなわち『エズレルの地で犬がイゼベルの肉を食うであろう。 | 9:36 Therefore they came back, and told him. He said, "This is the word of Yahweh, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 'The dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel on the plot of Jezreel, | |
| 9:37イゼベルの死体はエズレルの地で、糞土のように野のおもてに捨てられて、だれも、これはイゼベルだ、と言うことができないであろう』」。 | 9:37 and the body of Jezebel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, so that they shall not say, "This is Jezebel."'" | |
| 10:1アハブはサマリヤに七十人の子供があった。エヒウは手紙をしたためてサマリヤに送り、町のつかさたちと、長老たちと、アハブの子供の守役たちとに伝えて言った、 | 10:1 Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, even the elders, and to those who brought up the sons of Ahab, saying, | |
| 10:2「あなたがたの主君の子供たちがあなたがたと共におり、また戦車も馬も、堅固な町も武器もあるのだから、この手紙があなたがたのもとに届いたならば、すぐ、 | 10:2 "Now as soon as this letter comes to you, since your master's sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and armor. | |
| 10:3あなたがたは主君の子供たちのうち最もすぐれた、最も適当な者を選んで、その父の位にすえ、主君の家のために戦いなさい」。 | 10:3 Select the best and fittest of your master's sons, set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house." | |
| 10:4彼らは大いに恐れて言った、「ふたりの王たちがすでに彼に当ることができなかったのに、われわれがどうして当ることができよう」。 | 10:4 But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, "Behold, the two kings didn't stand before him! How then shall we stand?" | |
| 10:5そこで宮廷のつかさ、町のつかさ、長老たちと守役たちはエヒウに人をつかわして言った、「わたしたちは、あなたのしもべです。すべてあなたが命じられる事をいたします。わたしたちは王を立てることを好みません。あなたがよいと思われることをしてください」。 | 10:5 He who was over the household, and he who was over the city, the elders also, and those who raised the children, sent to Jehu, saying, "We are your servants, and will do all that you ask us. We will not make any man king. You do that which is good in your eyes." | |
| 10:6そこでエヒウは再び彼らに手紙を書き送って言った、「もしあなたがたが、わたしに味方し、わたしに従おうとするならば、あなたがたの主君の子供たちの首を取って、あすの今ごろエズレルにいるわたしのもとに持ってきなさい」。そのころ、王の子供たち七十人は彼らを育てていた町のおもだった人々と共にいた。 | 10:6 Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, "If you are on my side, and if you will listen to my voice, take the heads of the men your master's sons, and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow this time." Now the king's sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up. | |
| 10:7彼らはその手紙を受け取ると、王の子供たちを捕えて、その七十人をことごとく殺し、その首をかごにつめて、エズレルにいるエヒウのもとに送った。 | 10:7 It happened, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and killed them, even seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezreel. | |
| 10:8使者が来て、エヒウに告げ、「人々が王の子供たちの首を持ってきました」と言うと、「あくる朝までそれを門の入口に、ふた山に積んでおけ」と言った。 | 10:8 A messenger came, and told him, "They have brought the heads of the king's sons." He said, "Lay them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning." | |
| 10:9朝になると、彼は出て行って立ち、すべての民に言った、「あなたがたは正しい。主君にそむいて彼を殺したのはわたしです。しかしこのすべての者どもを殺したのはだれですか。 | 10:9 It happened in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, "You are righteous. Behold, I conspired against my master, and killed him; but who struck all these? | |
| 10:10これであなたがたは、主がアハブの家について告げられた主の言葉は一つも地に落ちないことを知りなさい。主は、そのしもべエリヤによってお告げになった事をなし遂げられたのです」。 | 10:10 Know now that nothing shall fall to the earth of the word of Yahweh, which Yahweh spoke concerning the house of Ahab. For Yahweh has done that which he spoke by his servant Elijah." | |
| 10:11こうしてエヒウは、アハブの家に属する者でエズレルに残っている者をことごとく殺し、またそのすべてのおもだった者、その親しい者およびその祭司たちを殺して、彼に属する者はひとりも残さなかった。 | 10:11 So Jehu struck all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, with all his great men, his familiar friends, and his priests, until he left him none remaining. | |
| 10:12さてエヒウは立ってサマリヤへ行ったが、途中、牧者の集まり場で、 | 10:12 He arose and departed, and went to Samaria. As he was at the shearing house of the shepherds on the way, | |
| 10:13ユダの王アハジヤの身内の人々に会い、「あなたがたはどなたですか」と言うと、「わたしたちはアハジヤの身内の者ですが、王の子供たちと、王母の子供たちの安否を問うために下ってきたのです」と答えたので、 | 10:13 Jehu met with the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, "Who are you?" They answered, "We are the brothers of Ahaziah. We are going down to greet the children of the king and the children of the queen." | |
| 10:14エヒウは「彼らをいけどれ」と命じた。そこで彼らをいけどって、集まり場の穴のかたわらで彼ら四十二人をことごとく殺し、ひとりをも残さなかった。 | 10:14 He said, "Take them alive!" They took them alive, and killed them at the pit of the shearing house, even forty-two men. He didn't leave any of them. | |
| 10:15エヒウはそこを立って行ったが、自分を迎えにきたレカブの子ヨナダブに会ったので、彼にあいさつして、「あなたの心は、わたしがあなたに対するように真実ですか」と言うと、ヨナダブは「真実です」と答えた。するとエヒウは「それならば、あなたの手をわたしに伸べなさい」と言ったので、その手を伸べると、彼を引いて自分の車に上らせ、 | 10:15 When he had departed from there, he met Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him. He greeted him, and said to him, "Is your heart right, as my heart is with your heart?" Jehonadab answered, "It is." "If it is, give me your hand." He gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot. | |
| 10:16「わたしと一緒にきて、わたしが主に熱心なのを見なさい」と言った。そして彼を自分の車に乗せ、 | 10:16 He said, "Come with me, and see my zeal for Yahweh." So they made him ride in his chariot. | |
| 10:17サマリヤへ行って、アハブに属する者で、サマリヤに残っている者をことごとく殺して、その一族を滅ぼした。主がエリヤにお告げになった言葉のとおりである。 | 10:17 When he came to Samaria, he struck all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, until he had destroyed him, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke to Elijah. | |
| 10:18次いでエヒウは民をことごとく集めて彼らに言った、「アハブは少しばかりバアルに仕えたが、エヒウは大いにこれに仕えるであろう。 | 10:18 Jehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, "Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu will serve him much. | |
| 10:19それゆえ、今バアルのすべての預言者、すべての礼拝者、すべての祭司をわたしのもとに召しなさい。ひとりもこない者のないようにしなさい。わたしは大いなる犠牲をバアルにささげようとしている。すべてこない者は生かしておかない」。しかしエヒウはバアルの礼拝者たちを滅ぼすために偽ってこうしたのである。 | 10:19 Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, all of his worshippers, and all of his priests. Let none be absent; for I have a great sacrifice to Baal. Whoever is absent, he shall not live." But Jehu did it in subtlety, intending that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal. | |
| 10:20そしてエヒウは「バアルのために聖会を催しなさい」と命じたので、彼らはこれを布告した。 | 10:20 Jehu said, "Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal!" They proclaimed it. | |
| 10:21エヒウはあまねくイスラエルに人をつかわしたので、バアルの礼拝者たちはことごとく来た。こないで残った者はひとりもなかった。彼らはバアルの宮にはいったので、バアルの宮は端から端までいっぱいになった。 | 10:21 Jehu sent through all Israel; and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that didn't come. They came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to another. | |
| 10:22その時エヒウは衣装をつかさどる者に「祭服を取り出してバアルのすべての礼拝者に与えよ」と言ったので、彼らのために祭服を取り出した。 | 10:22 He said to him who was over the vestry, "Bring out robes for all the worshippers of Baal!" He brought robes out to them. | |
| 10:23そしてエヒウはレカブの子ヨナダブと共にバアルの宮に入り、バアルの礼拝者たちに言った、「調べてみて、ここにはただバアルの礼拝者のみで、主のしもべはひとりも、あなたがたのうちにいないようにしなさい」。 | 10:23 Jehu went with Jehonadab the son of Rechab into the house of Baal. Then he said to the worshippers of Baal, "Search, and look that there are here with you none of the servants of Yahweh, but the worshippers of Baal only." | |
| 10:24こうして彼は犠牲と燔祭とをささげるためにはいった。さてエヒウは八十人の者を外に置いて言った、「わたしがあなたがたの手に渡す者をひとりでも逃す者は、自分の命をもってその人の命に換えなければならない」。 | 10:24 They went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had appointed him eighty men outside, and said, "If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escape, he who lets him go, his life shall be for the life of him." | |
| 10:25こうして燔祭をささげることが終ったとき、エヒウはその侍衛と将校たちに言った、「はいって彼らを殺せ。ひとりも逃がしてはならない」。侍衛と将校たちはつるぎをもって彼らを撃ち殺し、それを投げ出して、バアルの宮の本殿に入り、 | 10:25 It happened, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, "Go in, and kill them! Let none escape." They struck them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal. | |
| 10:26バアルの宮にある柱の像を取り出して、それを焼いた。 | 10:26 They brought out the pillars that were in the house of Baal, and burned them. | |
| 10:27また彼らはバアルの石柱をこわし、バアルの宮をこわして、かわやとしたが今日まで残っている。 | 10:27 They broke down the pillar of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a latrine, to this day. | |
| 10:28このようにエヒウはイスラエルのうちからバアルを一掃した。 | 10:28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel. | |
| 10:29しかしエヒウはイスラエルに罪を犯させたネバテの子ヤラベアムの罪、すなわちベテルとダンにある金の子牛に仕えることをやめなかった。 | 10:29 However from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin, Jehu didn't depart from after them, the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan. | |
| 10:30主はエヒウに言われた、「あなたはわたしの目にかなう事を行うにあたって、よくそれを行い、またわたしの心にあるすべての事をアハブの家にしたので、あなたの子孫は四代までイスラエルの位に座するであろう」。 | 10:30 Yahweh said to Jehu, "Because you have done well in executing that which is right in my eyes, and have done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart, your sons of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel." | |
| 10:31しかしエヒウはイスラエルの神、主の律法を心をつくして守り行おうとはせず、イスラエルに罪を犯させたヤラベアムの罪を離れなかった。 | 10:31 But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of Yahweh, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He didn't depart from the sins of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin. | |
| 10:32この時にあたって、主はイスラエルの領地を切り取ることを始められた。すなわちハザエルはイスラエルのすべての領域を侵し、 | 10:32 In those days Yahweh began to cut off from Israel; and Hazael struck them in all the borders of Israel; | |
| 10:33ヨルダンの東で、ギレアデの全地、カドびと、ルベンびと、マナセびとの地を侵し、アルノン川のほとりにあるアロエルからギレアデとバシャンに及んだ。 | 10:33 from the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan. | |
| 10:34エヒウのその他の事績と、彼がしたすべての事およびその武勇は、ことごとくイスラエルの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。 | 10:34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? | |
| 10:35エヒウはその先祖たちと共に眠ったので、彼をサマリヤに葬った。その子エホアハズが代って王となった。 | 10:35 Jehu slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria. Jehoahaz his son reigned in his place. | |
| 10:36エヒウがサマリヤでイスラエルを治めたのは二十八年であった。 | 10:36 The time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years. | |
| 11:1さてアハジヤの母アタリヤはその子の死んだのを見て、立って王の一族をことごとく滅ぼしたが、 | 11:1 Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal. | |
| 11:2ヨラム王の娘で、アハジヤの姉妹であるエホシバはアハジヤの子ヨアシを、殺されようとしている王の子たちのうちから盗み取り、彼とそのうばとを寝室に入れて、アタリヤに隠したので、彼はついに殺されなかった。 | 11:2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king's sons who were slain, even him and his nurse, and put them in the bedroom; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain; | |
| 11:3ヨアシはうばと共に六年の間、主の宮に隠れていたが、その間アタリヤが国を治めた。 | 11:3 He was with her hidden in the house of Yahweh six years. Athaliah reigned over the land. | |
| 11:4第七年になってエホヤダは人をつかわして、カリびとと近衛兵との大将たちを招きよせ、主の宮にいる自分のもとにこさせ、彼らと契約を結び、主の宮で彼らに誓いをさせて王の子を見せ、 | 11:4 In the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains over hundreds of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him into the house of Yahweh; and he made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of Yahweh, and showed them the king's son. | |
| 11:5命じて言った、「あなたがたのする事はこれです、すなわち、安息日に非番となって王の家を守るあなたがたの三分の一は、 | 11:5 He commanded them, saying, "This is the thing that you shall do: a third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, shall be keepers of the watch of the king's house; | |
| 11:6宮殿を守らなければならない。（他の三分の一はスルの門におり、三分の一は近衛兵のうしろの門におる）。 | 11:6 A third part shall be at the gate Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard. So you shall keep the watch of the house, and be a barrier. | |
| 11:7すべて安息日に当番で主の宮を守るあなたがたの二つの部隊は、 | 11:7 The two companies of you, even all who go out on the Sabbath, shall keep the watch of the house of Yahweh around the king. | |
| 11:8おのおのの武器を手に取って王のまわりに立たなければならない。すべて列に近よる者は殺されなければならない。あなたがたは王が出る時にも、はいる時にも王と共にいなければならない」。 | 11:8 You shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he who comes within the ranks, let him be slain. Be with the king when he goes out, and when he comes in." | |
| 11:9そこでその大将たちは祭司エホヤダがすべて命じたとおりにおこなった。すなわち彼らはおのおの安息日に非番となる者と、安息日に当番となる者とを率いて祭司エホヤダのもとにきたので、 | 11:9 The captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they took every man his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath, with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest. | |
| 11:10祭司は主の宮にあるダビデ王のやりと盾を大将たちに渡した。 | 11:10 The priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that had been king David's, which were in the house of Yahweh. | |
| 11:11近衛兵はおのおの手に武器をとって主の宮の南側から北側まで、祭壇と宮を取り巻いて立った。 | 11:11 The guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, around the king. | |
| 11:12そこでエホヤダは王の子をつれ出して冠をいただかせ、律法の書を渡し、彼を王と宣言して油を注いだので、人々は手を打って「王万歳」と言った。 | 11:12 Then he brought out the king's son, and put the crown on him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, "Long live the king!" | |
| 11:13アタリヤは近衛兵と民の声を聞いて、主の宮に入り、民のところへ行って、 | 11:13 When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the house of Yahweh: | |
| 11:14見ると、王は慣例にしたがって柱のかたわらに立ち、王のかたわらには大将たちとラッパ手たちが立ち、また国の民は皆喜んでラッパを吹いていたので、アタリヤはその衣を裂いて、「反逆です、反逆です」と叫んだ。 | 11:14 and she looked, and behold, the king stood by the pillar, as the tradition was, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and cried, "Treason! Treason!" | |
| 11:15その時祭司エホヤダは軍勢を指揮していた大将たちに命じて、「彼女を列の間をとおって出て行かせ、彼女に従う者をつるぎをもって殺しなさい」と言った。これは祭司がさきに「彼女を主の宮で殺してはならない」と言ったからである。 | 11:15 Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, "Bring her out between the ranks. Kill him who follows her with the sword." For the priest said, "Don't let her be slain in the house of Yahweh." | |
| 11:16そこで彼らは彼女を捕え、王の家の馬道へ連れて行ったが、彼女はついにそこで殺された。 | 11:16 So they made way for her; and she went by the way of the horses' entry to the king's house. She was slain there. | |
| 11:17かくてエホヤダは主と王および民との間に、皆主の民となるという契約を立てさせ、また王と民との間にもそれを立てさせた。 | 11:17 Jehoiada made a covenant between Yahweh and the king and the people, that they should be Yahweh's people; between the king also and the people. | |
| 11:18そこで国の民は皆バアルの宮に行って、これをこわし、その祭壇とその像を打ち砕き、バアルの祭司マッタンをその祭壇の前で殺した。そして祭司は主の宮に管理人を置いた。 | 11:18 All the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and broke it down; his altars and his images broke they in pieces thoroughly, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. The priest appointed officers over the house of Yahweh. | |
| 11:19次いでエホヤダは大将たちと、カリびとと、近衛兵と国のすべての民を率いて、主の宮から王を導き下り、近衛兵の門の道から王の家に入り、王の位に座せしめた。 | 11:19 He took the captains over hundreds, and the Carites, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of Yahweh, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king's house. He sat on the throne of the kings. | |
| 11:20こうして国の民は皆喜び、町はアタリヤが王の家でつるぎをもって殺されてのち、おだやかになった。 | 11:20 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. Athaliah they had slain with the sword at the king's house. | |
| 11:21ヨアシは位についた時七歳であった。 | 11:21 Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign. | |
| 12:1ヨアシはエヒウの第七年に位につき、エルサレムで四十年の間、世を治めた。その母はベエルシバの出身で、名をヂビアといった。 | 12:1 In the seventh year of Jehu began Jehoash to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba. | |
| 12:2ヨアシは一生の間、主の目にかなう事をおこなった。祭司エホヤダが彼を教えたからである。 | 12:2 Jehoash did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh all his days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him. | |
| 12:3しかし高き所は除かなかったので、民はなおその高き所で犠牲をささげ、香をたいた。 | 12:3 However the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places. | |
| 12:4ヨアシは祭司たちに言った、「すべて主の宮に聖別してささげる銀、すなわちおのおのが課せられて、割当にしたがって人々の出す銀、および人々が心から願って主の宮の持ってくる銀は、 | 12:4 Jehoash said to the priests, "All the money of the holy things that is brought into the house of Yahweh, in current money, the money of the persons for whom each man is rated, and all the money that it comes into any man's heart to bring into the house of Yahweh, | |
| 12:5これを祭司たちがおのおのその知る人から受け取り、どこでも主の宮に破れの見える時は、それをもってその破れを繕わなければならない」。 | 12:5 let the priests take it to them, every man from his acquaintance; and they shall repair the breaches of the house, wherever any breach shall be found." | |
| 12:6ところがヨアシ王の二十三年に至るまで、祭司たちは主の宮の破れを繕わなかった。 | 12:6 But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house. | |
| 12:7それで、ヨアシ王は祭司エホヤダおよび他の祭司たちを召して言った、「なぜ、あなたがたは主の宮の破れを繕わないのか。あなたがたはもはや知人から銀を受けてはならない。主の宮の破れを繕うためにそれを渡しなさい」。 | 12:7 Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and for the other priests, and said to them, "Why don't you repair the breaches of the house? Now therefore take no more money from your treasurers, but deliver it for the breaches of the house." | |
| 12:8祭司たちは重ねて民から銀を受けない事と、主の宮の破れを繕わない事とに同意した。 | 12:8 The priests consented that they should take no more money from the people, neither repair the breaches of the house. | |
| 12:9そこで祭司エホヤダは一つの箱を取り、そのふたに穴をあけて、それを主の宮の入口の右側、祭壇のかたわらに置いた。そして門を守る祭司たちは主の宮にはいってくる銀をことごとくその中に入れた。 | 12:9 But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of Yahweh: and the priests who kept the threshold put therein all the money that was brought into the house of Yahweh. | |
| 12:10こうしてその箱の中に銀が多くなったのを見ると、王の書記官と大祭司が上ってきて、主の宮にある銀を数えて袋に詰めた。 | 12:10 It was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags and counted the money that was found in the house of Yahweh. | |
| 12:11そしてその数えた銀を、工事をつかさどる主の宮の監督者の手にわたしたので、彼らはそれを主の宮に働く木工と建築師に払い、 | 12:11 They gave the money that was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the house of Yahweh: and they paid it out to the carpenters and the builders, who worked on the house of Yahweh, | |
| 12:12石工および石切りに払い、またそれをもって主の宮の破れを繕う材木と切り石を買い、主の宮を繕うために用いるすべての物のために費した。 | 12:12 and to the masons and the stone cutters, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the breaches of the house of Yahweh, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it. | |
| 12:13ただし、主の宮にはいってくるその銀をもって主の宮のために銀のたらい、心切りばさみ、鉢、ラッパ、金の器、銀の器などを造ることはしなかった。 | 12:13 But there were not made for the house of Yahweh cups of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of Yahweh; | |
| 12:14ただこれを工事をする者に渡して、それで主の宮を繕わせた。 | 12:14 for they gave that to those who did the work, and repaired therewith the house of Yahweh. | |
| 12:15またその銀を渡して工事をする者に払わせた人々と計算することはしなかった。彼らは正直に事をおこなったからである。 | 12:15 Moreover they didn't demand an accounting from the men into whose hand they delivered the money to give to those who did the work; for they dealt faithfully. | |
| 12:16愆祭の銀と罪祭の銀は主の宮に、はいらないで、祭司に帰した。 | 12:16 The money for the trespass offerings, and the money for the sin offerings, was not brought into the house of Yahweh: it was the priests'. | |
| 12:17そのころ、スリヤの王ハザエルが上ってきて、ガテを攻めてこれを取った。そしてハザエルがエルサレムに攻め上ろうとして、その顔を向けたとき、 | 12:17 Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it; and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem. | |
| 12:18ユダの王ヨアシはその先祖、ユダの王ヨシャパテ、ヨラム、アハジヤが聖別してささげたすべての物、およびヨアシ自身が聖別してささげた物、ならびに主の宮の倉と、主の宮にある金をことごとく取って、スリヤ王のハザエルに贈ったので、ハザエルはエルサレムを離れ去った。 | 12:18 Jehoash king of Judah took all the holy things that Jehoshaphat and Jehoram and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own holy things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and of the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem. | |
| 12:19ヨアシのその他の事績および彼がしたすべての事は、ユダの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。 | 12:19 Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? | |
| 12:20ヨアシの家来たちは立って徒党を結び、シラに下る道にあるミロの家でヨアシを殺した。 | 12:20 His servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and struck Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla. | |
| 12:21すなわちその家来シメアテの子ヨザカルと、ショメルの子ヨザバデが彼を撃って殺し、彼をその先祖と同じく、ダビデの町に葬った。その子アマジヤが代って王となった。 | 12:21 For Jozacar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, struck him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his place. | |
| 13:1ユダの王アハジヤの子ヨアシの第二十三年にエヒウの子エホアハズはサマリヤでイスラエルの王となり、十七年世を治めた。 | 13:1 In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria for seventeen years. | |
| 13:2彼は主の目の前に悪を行い、イスラエルに罪を犯させたネバテの子ヤラベアムの罪を行いつづけて、それを離れなかった。 | 13:2 He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; he didn't depart from it. | |
| 13:3そこで主はイスラエルに対して怒りを発し、エホアハズの治世の間、絶えずイスラエルをスリヤの王ハザエルの手にわたし、またハザエルの子ベネハダデの手にわたされた。 | 13:3 The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, continually. | |
| 13:4しかしエホアハズが主に願い求めたので、主はついにこれを聞きいれられた。スリヤの王によって悩まされたイスラエルの悩みを見られたからである。 | 13:4 Jehoahaz begged Yahweh, and Yahweh listened to him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how that the king of Syria oppressed them. | |
| 13:5それで主がひとりの救助者をイスラエルに賜わったので、イスラエルの人々はスリヤびとの手をのがれ、前のように自分たちの天幕に住むようになった。 | 13:5 (Yahweh gave Israel a savior, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians; and the children of Israel lived in their tents as before. | |
| 13:6それにもかかわらず、彼らはイスラエルに罪を犯させたヤラベアムの家の罪を離れず、それを行いつづけた。またアシラの像もサマリヤに立ったままであった。 | 13:6 Nevertheless they didn't depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin, but walked therein: and there remained the Asherah also in Samaria.) | |
| 13:7さきにスリヤの王が彼らを滅ぼし、踏み砕くちりのようにしたのでエホアハズの軍勢で残ったものは、ただ騎兵五十人、戦車十両、歩兵一万人のみであった。 | 13:7 For he didn't leave to Jehoahaz of the people any more than fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria destroyed them, and made them like the dust in threshing. | |
| 13:8エホアハズその他の事績と、彼がしたすべての事およびその武勇は、イスラエルの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。 | 13:8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? | |
| 13:9エホアハズは先祖たちと共に眠ったので、彼をサマリヤに葬った。その子ヨアシが代って王となった。 | 13:9 Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his place. | |
| 13:10ユダの王ヨアシの第三十七年に、エホアハズの子ヨアシはサマリヤでイスラエルの王となり、十六年世を治めた。 | 13:10 In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria for sixteen years. | |
| 13:11彼は主の目の前に悪を行い、イスラエルに罪を犯させたネバテの子ヤラベアムのもろもろの罪を離れず、それに歩んだ。 | 13:11 He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh; he didn't depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; but he walked therein. | |
| 13:12ヨアシのその他の事績と、彼がしたすべての事およびユダの王アマジヤと戦ったその武勇は、イスラエルの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。 | 13:12 Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? | |
| 13:13ヨアシは先祖たちと共に眠って、ヤラベアムがその位に座した。そしてヨアシはイスラエルの王たちと同じくサマリヤに葬られた。 | 13:13 Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat on his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. | |
| 13:14さてエリシャは死ぬ病気にかかっていたが、イスラエルの王ヨアシは下ってきて彼の顔の上に涙を流し、「わが父よ、わが父よ、イスラエルの戦車よ、その騎兵よ」と言った。 | 13:14 Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness of which he died: and Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over him, and said, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!" | |
| 13:15エリシャは彼に「弓と矢を取りなさい」と言ったので、弓と矢を取った。 | 13:15 Elisha said to him, "Take bow and arrows"; and he took to him bow and arrows. | |
| 13:16エリシャはまたイスラエルの王に「弓に手をかけなさい」と言ったので、手をかけた。するとエリシャは自分の手を王の手の上におき、 | 13:16 He said to the king of Israel, "Put your hand on the bow"; and he put his hand on it. Elisha laid his hands on the king's hands. | |
| 13:17「東向きの窓をあけなさい」と言ったので、それをあけると、エリシャはまた「射なさい」と言った。彼が射ると、エリシャは言った、「主の救の矢、スリヤに対する救の矢。あなたはアペクでスリヤびとを撃ち破り、彼らを滅ぼしつくすであろう」。 | 13:17 He said, "Open the window eastward"; and he opened it. Then Elisha said, "Shoot!" and he shot. He said, "Yahweh's arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Syria; for you shall strike the Syrians in Aphek, until you have consumed them." | |
| 13:18エリシャはまた「矢を取りなさい」と言ったので、それを取った。エリシャはまたイスラエルの王に「それをもって地を射なさい」と言ったので、三度射てやめた。 | 13:18 He said, "Take the arrows"; and he took them. He said to the king of Israel, "Strike the ground"; and he struck three times, and stopped. | |
| 13:19すると神の人は怒って言った、「あなたは五度も六度も射るべきであった。そうしたならば、あなたはスリヤを撃ち破り、それを滅ぼしつくすことができたであろう。しかし今あなたはそうしなかったので、スリヤを撃ち破ることはただ三度だけであろう」。 | 13:19 The man of God was angry with him, and said, "You should have struck five or six times. Then you would have struck Syria until you had consumed it, whereas now you shall strike Syria just three times." | |
| 13:20こうしてエリシャは死んで葬られた。さてモアブの略奪隊は年が改まるごとに、国にはいって来るのを常とした。 | 13:20 Elisha died, and they buried him. Now the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year. | |
| 13:21時に、ひとりの人を葬ろうとする者があったが、略奪隊を見たので、その人をエリシャの墓に投げ入れて去った。その人はエリシャの骨に触れるとすぐ生きかえって立ちあがった。 | 13:21 It happened, as they were burying a man, that behold, they spied a band; and they cast the man into the tomb of Elisha: and as soon as the man touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet. | |
| 13:22スリヤの王ハザエルはエホアハズの一生の間、イスラエルを悩ましたが、 | 13:22 Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz. | |
| 13:23主はアブラハム、イサク、ヤコブと結ばれた契約のゆえにイスラエルを恵み、これをあわれみ、これを顧みて滅ぼすことを好まず、なおこれをみ前から捨てられなかった。 | 13:23 But Yahweh was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and had respect to them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet. | |
| 13:24スリヤの王ハザエルはついに死んで、その子ベネハダデが代って王となった。 | 13:24 Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his place. | |
| 13:25そこでエホアハズの子ヨアシは、父エホアハズがハザエルに攻め取られた町々を、ハザエルの子ベネハダデの手から取り返した。すなわちヨアシは三度彼を撃ち破って、イスラエルの町々を取り返した。 | 13:25 Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Joash struck him three times, and recovered the cities of Israel. | |
| 14:1イスラエルの王エホアハズの子ヨアシの第二年に、ユダの王ヨアシの子アマジヤが王となった。 | 14:1 In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel began Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah to reign. | |
| 14:2彼は王となった時二十五歳で、二十九年の間エルサレムで世を治めた。その母はエルサレムの出身で、名をエホアダンといった。 | 14:2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem. | |
| 14:3アマジヤは主の目にかなう事をおこなったが、先祖ダビデのようではなかった。彼はすべての事を父ヨアシがおこなったようにおこなった。 | 14:3 He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, yet not like David his father: he did according to all that Joash his father had done. | |
| 14:4ただし高き所は除かなかったので、民はなおその高き所で犠牲をささげ、香をたいた。 | 14:4 However the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places. | |
| 14:5彼は国が彼の手のうちに強くなった時、父ヨアシ王を殺害した家来たちを殺したが、 | 14:5 It happened, as soon as the kingdom was established in his hand, that he killed his servants who had slain the king his father: | |
| 14:6その殺害者の子供たちは殺さなかった。これはモーセの律法の書にしるされている所に従ったのであって、そこに主は命じて「父は子のゆえに殺さるべきではない。子は父のゆえに殺さるべきではない。おのおの自分の罪のゆえに殺さるべきである」と言われている。 | 14:6 but the children of the murderers he didn't put to death; according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as Yahweh commanded, saying, "The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin." | |
| 14:7アマジヤはまた塩の谷でエドムびと一万人を殺した。またセラを攻め取って、その名をヨクテルと名づけたが、今日までそのとおりである。 | 14:7 He killed of Edom in the Valley of Salt ten thousand, and took Sela by war, and called its name Joktheel, to this day. | |
| 14:8そこでアマジヤがエヒウの子エホアハズの子であるイスラエルの王ヨアシに使者をつかわして、「さあ、われわれは互に顔を合わせよう」と言わせたので、 | 14:8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, "Come, let us look one another in the face." | |
| 14:9イスラエルの王ヨアシはユダの王アマジヤに言い送った、「かつてレバノンのいばらがレバノンの香柏に、『あなたの娘をわたしのむすこの妻にください』と言い送ったことがあったが、レバノンの野獣がとおって、そのいばらを踏み倒した。 | 14:9 Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, "The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, 'Give your daughter to my son as wife. Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled down the thistle. | |
| 14:10あなたは大いにエドムを撃って、心にたかぶっているが、その栄誉に満足して家にとどまりなさい。何ゆえ、あなたは災をひき起して、自分もユダも共に滅びるような事をするのですか」。 | 14:10 You have indeed struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Enjoy the glory of it, and stay at home; for why should you meddle to your harm, that you should fall, even you, and Judah with you?'" | |
| 14:11しかしアマジヤが聞きいれなかったので、イスラエルの王ヨアシは上ってきた。そこで彼とユダの王アマジヤはユダのベテシメシで互に顔をあわせたが、 | 14:11 But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah. | |
| 14:12ユダはイスラエルに敗られて、おのおのその天幕に逃げ帰った。 | 14:12 Judah was defeated by Israel; and they fled every man to his tent. | |
| 14:13イスラエルの王ヨアシはアハジヤの子ヨアシの子であるユダの王アマジヤをベテシメシで捕え、エルサレムにきて、エルサレムの城壁をエフライムの門から隅の門まで、おおよそ四百キュビトにわたってこわし、 | 14:13 Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits. | |
| 14:14また主の宮と王の家の倉にある金銀およびもろもろの器をことごとく取り、かつ人質をとってサマリヤに帰った。 | 14:14 He took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of Yahweh, and in the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria. | |
| 14:15ヨアシのその他の事績と、その武勇および彼がユダの王アマジヤと戦った事は、イスラエルの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。 | 14:15 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? | |
| 14:16ヨアシはその先祖たちと共に眠って、イスラエルの王たちと共にサマリヤに葬られ、その子ヤラベアムが代って王となった。 | 14:16 Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his place. | |
| 14:17ヨアシの子であるユダの王アマジヤは、エホアハズの子であるイスラエルの王ヨアシが死んで後、なお十五年生きながらえた。 | 14:17 Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years. | |
| 14:18アマジヤのその他の事績は、ユダの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。 | 14:18 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? | |
| 14:19時に人々がエルサレムで徒党を結び、彼に敵対したので、彼はラキシに逃げていったが、その人々はラキシに人をつかわして彼をそこで殺させた。 | 14:19 They made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent after him to Lachish, and killed him there. | |
| 14:20人々は彼を馬に載せて運んできて、エルサレムで彼を先祖たちと共にダビデの町に葬った。 | 14:20 They brought him on horses; and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David. | |
| 14:21そしてユダの民は皆アザリヤを父アマジヤの代りに王とした。時に年十六歳であった。 | 14:21 All the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah. | |
| 14:22彼はエラテの町を建てて、これをユダに復帰させた。これはかの王がその先祖たちと共に眠った後であった。 | 14:22 He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers. | |
| 14:23ユダの王ヨアシの子アマジヤの第十五年に、イスラエルの王ヨアシの子ヤラべアムがサマリヤで王となって四十一年の間、世を治めた。 | 14:23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria for forty-one years. | |
| 14:24彼は主の目の前に悪を行い、イスラエルに罪を犯させたネバテの子ヤラベアムの罪を離れなかった。 | 14:24 He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh: he didn't depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. | |
| 14:25彼はハマテの入口からアラバの海まで、イスラエルの領域を回復した。イスラエルの神、主がガテヘペルのアミッタイの子である、そのしもべ預言者ヨナによって言われた言葉のとおりである。 | 14:25 He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, according to the word of Yahweh, the God of Israel, which he spoke by his servant Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath Hepher. | |
| 14:26主はイスラエルの悩みの非常に激しいのを見られた。そこにはつながれた者も、自由な者もいなくなり、またイスラエルを助ける者もいなかった。 | 14:26 For Yahweh saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter; for there was none shut up nor left at large, neither was there any helper for Israel. | |
| 14:27しかし主はイスラエルの名を天が下から消し去ろうとは言われなかった。そして彼らをヨアシの子ヤラベアムの手によって救われた。 | 14:27 Yahweh didn't say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the sky; but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash. | |
| 14:28ヤラベアムのその他の事績と、彼がしたすべての事およびその武勇、すなわち彼が戦争をした事および、かつてユダに属していたダマスコとハマテを、イスラエルに復帰させた事は、イスラエルの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。 | 14:28 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, for Israel, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? | |
| 14:29ヤラベアムはその先祖であるイスラエルの王たちと共に眠って、その子ゼカリヤが代って王となった。 | 14:29 Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his place. | |
| 15:1イスラエルの王ヤラベアムの第二十七年に、ユダの王アマジヤの子アザリヤが王となった。 | 15:1 In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign. | |
| 15:2彼が王となった時は十六歳で、五十二年の間エルサレムで世を治めた。その母はエルサレムの出身で、名をエコリアといった。 | 15:2 Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem. | |
| 15:3彼は主の目にかなう事を行い、すべての事を父アマジヤが行ったようにおこなった。 | 15:3 He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that his father Amaziah had done. | |
| 15:4ただし高き所は除かなかったので、民はなおその高き所で犠牲をささげ、香をたいた。 | 15:4 However the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places. | |
| 15:5主が王を撃たれたので、その死ぬ日まで、らい病人となって、離れ家に住んだ。王の子ヨタムが家の事を管理し、国の民をさばいた。 | 15:5 Yahweh struck the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house. Jotham the king's son was over the household, judging the people of the land. | |
| 15:6アザリヤのその他の事績と、彼がしたすべての事は、ユダの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。 | 15:6 Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? | |
| 15:7アザリヤはその先祖たちと共に眠ったので、彼をダビデの町にその先祖たちと共に葬った。その子ヨタムが代って王となった。 | 15:7 Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his place. | |
| 15:8ユダの王アザリヤの第三十八年にヤラベアムの子ゼカリヤがサマリヤでイスラエルの王となり、六か月世を治めた。 | 15:8 In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, Zechariah the son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel in Samaria six months. | |
| 15:9彼はその先祖たちがおこなったように主の目の前に悪を行い、イスラエルに罪を犯させたネバテの子ヤラベアムの罪を離れなかった。 | 15:9 He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as his fathers had done: he didn't depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. | |
| 15:10ヤベシの子シャルムが徒党を結んで彼に敵し、イブレアムで彼を撃ち殺し、彼に代って王となった。 | 15:10 Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and struck him before the people, and killed him, and reigned in his place. | |
| 15:11ゼカリヤのその他の事績は、イスラエルの王の歴代志の書にしるされている。 | 15:11 Now the rest of the acts of Zechariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. | |
| 15:12主はかつてエヒウに、「あなたの子孫は四代までイスラエルの位に座するであろう」と告げられたが、はたしてそのとおりになった。 | 15:12 This was the word of Yahweh which he spoke to Jehu, saying, "Your sons to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel." So it came to pass. | |
| 15:13ヤベシの子シャルムはユダの王ウジヤの第三十九年に王となり、サマリヤで一か月世を治めた。 | 15:13 Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned for a month in Samaria. | |
| 15:14時にガデの子メナヘムがテルザからサマリヤに上ってきて、ヤベシの子シャルムをサマリヤで撃ち殺し、彼に代って王となった。 | 15:14 Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and came to Samaria, and struck Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and killed him, and reigned in his place. | |
| 15:15シャルムのその他の事績と、彼が徒党を結んだ事は、イスラエルの王の歴代志の書にしるされている。 | 15:15 Now the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. | |
| 15:16その時メナヘムはテルザから進んでいって、タップアと、そのうちにいるすべての者、およびその領域を撃った。すなわち彼らが彼のために開かなかったので、これを撃って、そのうちの妊娠の女をことごとく引き裂いた。 | 15:16 Then Menahem struck Tiphsah, and all who were therein, and its borders, from Tirzah: because they didn't open to him, therefore he struck it; and all the women therein who were with child he ripped up. | |
| 15:17ユダの王アザリヤの第三十九年に、ガデの子メナヘムはイスラエルの王となり、サマリヤで十年の間、世を治めた。 | 15:17 In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem the son of Gadi began to reign over Israel for ten years in Samaria. | |
| 15:18彼は主の目の前に悪を行い、イスラエルに罪を犯させたネバテの子ヤラベアムの罪を一生の間、離れなかった。 | 15:18 He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh: he didn't depart all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. | |
| 15:19時にアッスリヤの王プルが国に攻めてきたので、メナヘムは銀一千タラントをプルに与えた。これは彼がプルの助けを得て、国を自分の手のうちに強くするためであった。 | 15:19 There came against the land Pul the king of Assyria; and Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand. | |
| 15:20すなわちメナヘムはその銀をイスラエルのすべての富める者に課し、その人々におのおの銀五十シケルを出させてアッスリヤの王に与えた。こうしてアッスリヤの王は国にとどまらないで帰っていった。 | 15:20 Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and didn't stay there in the land. | |
| 15:21メナヘムのその他の事績と彼がしたすべての事は、イスラエルの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。 | 15:21 Now the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? | |
| 15:22メナヘムは先祖たちと共に眠り、その子ペカヒヤが代って王となった。 | 15:22 Menahem slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son reigned in his place. | |
| 15:23メナヘムの子ペカヒヤはユダの王アザリヤの第五十年に、サマリヤでイスラエルの王となり、二年の間、世を治めた。 | 15:23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria for two years. | |
| 15:24彼は主の目の前に悪を行い、イスラエルに罪を犯せたネバテの子ヤラベアムの罪を離れなかった。 | 15:24 He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh: he didn't depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. | |
| 15:25時に彼の副官であったレマリヤのペカが、ギレアデびと五十人と共に徒党を結んで彼に敵し、サマリヤの、王の宮殿の天守で彼を撃ち殺した。すなわちペカは彼を殺し、彼に代って王となった。 | 15:25 Pekah the son of Remaliah, his captain, conspired against him, and struck him in Samaria, in the castle of the king's house, with Argob and Arieh; and with him were fifty men of the Gileadites: and he killed him, and reigned in his place. | |
| 15:26ペカヒヤのその他の事績と彼がしたすべての事は、イスラエルの王の歴代志の書にしるされている。 | 15:26 Now the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. | |
| 15:27レマリヤの子ペカはユダの王アザリヤの第五十二年に、サマリヤでイスラエルの王となり、二十年の間、世を治めた。 | 15:27 In the two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria for twenty years. | |
| 15:28彼は主の目の前に悪をおこない、イスラエルに罪を犯させたネバテの子ヤラベアムの罪を離れなかった。 | 15:28 He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh: he didn't depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. | |
| 15:29イスラエルの王ペカの世に、アッスリヤの王テグラテピレセルが来て、イヨン、アベル・ベテマアカ、ヤノア、ケデシ、ハゾル、ギレアデ、ガリラヤ、ナフタリの全地を取り、人々をアッスリヤへ捕え移した。 | 15:29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abel Beth Maacah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali; and he carried them captive to Assyria. | |
| 15:30時にエラの子ホセアは徒党を結んで、レマリヤの子ペカに敵し、彼を撃ち殺し、彼に代って王となった。これはウジヤの子ヨタムの第二十年であった。 | 15:30 Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and struck him, and killed him, and reigned in his place, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah. | |
| 15:31ペカのその他の事績と彼がしたすべての事は、イスラエルの王の歴代志の書にしるされている。 | 15:31 Now the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel. | |
| 15:32レマリヤの子イスラエルの王ペカの第二年に、ユダの王ウジヤの子ヨタムが王となった。 | 15:32 In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel began Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah to reign. | |
| 15:33彼は王となった時二十五歳であったが、エルサレムで十六年の間、世を治めた。母はザドクの娘で、名をエルシャといった。 | 15:33 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok. | |
| 15:34彼は主の目にかなう事を行い、すべて父ウジヤの行ったようにおこなった。 | 15:34 He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh; he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done. | |
| 15:35ただし高き所は除かなかったので、民はなおその高き所で犠牲をささげ、香をたいた。彼は主の宮の上の門を建てた。 | 15:35 However the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places. He built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh. | |
| 15:36ヨタムのその他の事績と彼がしたすべての事は、ユダの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。 | 15:36 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? | |
| 15:37そのころ、主はスリヤの王レヂンとレマリヤの子ペカをユダに攻めこさせられた。 | 15:37 In those days Yahweh began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah. | |
| 15:38ヨタムは先祖たちと共に眠って、その先祖ダビデの町に先祖たちと共に葬られ、その子アハズが代って王となった。 | 15:38 Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Ahaz his son reigned in his place. | |
| 16:1レマリヤの子ペカの第十七年にユダの王ヨタムの子アハズが王となった。 | 16:1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign. | |
| 16:2アハズは王となった時二十歳で、エルサレムで十六年の間、世を治めたが、その神、主の目にかなう事を先祖ダビデのようには行わなかった。 | 16:2 Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he didn't do that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh his God, like David his father. | |
| 16:3彼はイスラエルの王たちの道に歩み、また主がイスラエルの人々の前から追い払われた異邦人の憎むべきおこないにしたがって、自分の子を火に焼いてささげ物とした。 | 16:3 But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yes, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations, whom Yahweh cast out from before the children of Israel. | |
| 16:4かつ彼は高き所、また丘の上、すべての青木の下で犠牲をささげ、香をたいた。 | 16:4 He sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree. | |
| 16:5そのころ、スリヤの王レヂンおよびレマリヤの子であるイスラエルの王ペカがエルサレムに攻め上って、アハズを囲んだが、勝つことができなかった。 | 16:5 Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him. | |
| 16:6その時エドムの王はエラテを回復してエドムの所領とし、ユダの人々をエラテから追い出した。そしてエドムびとがエラテにきて、そこに住み、今日に至っている。 | 16:6 At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drove the Jews from Elath; and the Syrians came to Elath, and lived there, to this day. | |
| 16:7そこでアハズは使者をアッスリヤの王テグラテピレセルにつかわして言わせた、「わたしはあなたのしもべ、あなたの子です。スリヤの王とイスラエルの王がわたしを攻め囲んでいます。どうぞ上ってきて、彼らの手からわたしを救い出してください」。 | 16:7 So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, saying, "I am your servant and your son. Come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who rise up against me." | |
| 16:8そしてアハズは主の宮と王の家の倉にある金と銀をとり、これを贈り物としてアッスリヤの王におくったので、 | 16:8 Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of Yahweh, and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria. | |
| 16:9アッスリヤの王は彼の願いを聞きいれた。すなわちアッスリヤの王はダマスコに攻め上って、これを取り、その民をキルに捕え移し、またレヂンを殺した。 | 16:9 The king of Assyria listened to him; and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried its people captive to Kir, and killed Rezin. | |
| 16:10アハズ王はアッスリヤの王テグラテピレセルに会おうとダマスコへ行ったが、ダマスコにある祭壇を見たので、アハズ王はその祭壇の作りにしたがって、その詳しい図面と、ひな型とを作って、祭司ウリヤに送った。 | 16:10 King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, and saw the altar that was at Damascus; and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and its pattern, according to all its workmanship. | |
| 16:11そこで祭司ウリヤはアハズ王がダマスコから送ったものにしたがって祭壇を建てた。すなわち祭司ウリヤはアハズ王がダマスコから帰るまでにそのとおりに作った。 | 16:11 Urijah the priest built an altar: according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so Urijah the priest made it for the coming of king Ahaz from Damascus. | |
| 16:12王はダマスコから帰ってきて、その祭壇を見、祭壇に近づいてその上に登り、 | 16:12 When the king had come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king drew near to the altar, and offered on it. | |
| 16:13燔祭と素祭を焼き、灌祭を注ぎ、酬恩祭の血を祭壇にそそぎかけた。 | 16:13 He burnt his burnt offering and his meal offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, on the altar. | |
| 16:14彼はまた主の前にあった青銅の祭壇を宮の前から移した。すなわちそれを新しい祭壇と主の宮の間から移して、新しい祭壇の北の方にすえた。 | 16:14 The bronze altar, which was before Yahweh, he brought from the forefront of the house, from between his altar and the house of Yahweh, and put it on the north side of his altar. | |
| 16:15そしてアハズ王は祭司ウリヤに命じて言った、「朝の燔祭と夕の素祭および王の燔祭とその素祭、ならびに国中の民の燔祭とその素祭および灌祭は、この大きな祭壇の上で焼きなさい。また燔祭の血と犠牲の血はすべてこれにそそぎかけなさい。あの青銅の祭壇をわたしは伺いを立てるのに用いよう」。 | 16:15 King Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, "On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meal offering, and the king's burnt offering, and his meal offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meal offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice; but the bronze altar shall be for me to inquire by." | |
| 16:16祭司ウリヤはアハズ王がすべて命じたとおりにおこなった。 | 16:16 Urijah the priest did so, according to all that king Ahaz commanded. | |
| 16:17またアハズ王は台の鏡板を切り取って、洗盤をその上から移し、また海をその下にある青銅の牛の上からおろして、石の座の上にすえ、 | 16:17 King Ahaz cut off the panels of the bases, and removed the basin from off them, and took down the sea from off the bronze oxen that were under it, and put it on a pavement of stone. | |
| 16:18また宮のうちに造られていた安息日用のおおいのある道、および王の用いる外の入口をアッスリヤの王のために主の宮から除いた。 | 16:18 The covered way for the Sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king's entry outside, turned he to the house of Yahweh, because of the king of Assyria. | |
| 16:19アハズのその他の事績は、ユダの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。 | 16:19 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? | |
| 16:20アハズは先祖たちと共に眠って、ダビデの町にその先祖たちと共に葬られ、その子ヒゼキヤが代って王となった。 | 16:20 Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place. | |
| 17:1ユダの王アハズの第十二年にエラの子ホセアが王となり、サマリヤで九年の間、イスラエルを治めた。 | 17:1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah began to reign in Samaria over Israel for nine years. | |
| 17:2彼は主の目の前に悪を行ったが、彼以前のイスラエルの王たちのようではなかった。 | 17:2 He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, yet not as the kings of Israel who were before him. | |
| 17:3アッスリヤの王シャルマネセルが攻め上ったので、ホセアは彼に隷属して、みつぎを納めたが、 | 17:3 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and brought him tribute. | |
| 17:4アッスリヤの王はホセアがついに自分にそむいたのを知った。それはホセアが使者をエジプトの王ソにつかわし、また年々納めていたみつぎを、アッスリヤの王に納めなかったからである。そこでアッスリヤの王は彼を監禁し、獄屋につないだ。 | 17:4 The king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison. | |
| 17:5そしてアッスリヤの王は攻め上って国中を侵し、サマリヤに上ってきて三年の間、これを攻め囲んだ。 | 17:5 Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years. | |
| 17:6ホセアの第九年になって、アッスリヤの王はついにサマリヤを取り、イスラエルの人々をアッスリヤに捕えていって、ハラと、ゴザンの川ハボルのほとりと、メデアの町々においた。 | 17:6 In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away to Assyria, and placed them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. | |
| 17:7この事が起ったのは、イスラエルの人々が、自分たちをエジプトの地から導き上って、エジプトの王パロの手をのがれさせられたその神、主にむかって罪を犯し、他の神々を敬い、 | 17:7 It was so, because the children of Israel had sinned against Yahweh their God, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods, | |
| 17:8主がイスラエルの人々の前から追い払われた異邦人のならわしに従って歩み、またイスラエルの王たちが定めたならわしに従って歩んだからである。 | 17:8 and walked in the statutes of the nations, whom Yahweh cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they made. | |
| 17:9イスラエルの人々はその神、主にむかって正しからぬ事をひそかに行い、見張台から堅固な町に至るまで、すべての町々に高き所を建て、 | 17:9 The children of Israel did secretly things that were not right against Yahweh their God: and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city; | |
| 17:10またすべての高い丘の上、すべての青木の下に石の柱とアシラ像を立て、 | 17:10 and they set them up pillars and Asherim on every high hill, and under every green tree; | |
| 17:11主が彼らの前から捕え移された異邦人がしたように、すべての高き所で香をたき、悪事を行って、主を怒らせた。 | 17:11 and there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the nations whom Yahweh carried away before them; and they worked wicked things to provoke Yahweh to anger; | |
| 17:12また主が彼らに「あなたがたはこの事をしてはならない」と言われたのに偶像に仕えた。 | 17:12 and they served idols, of which Yahweh had said to them, "You shall not do this thing." | |
| 17:13主はすべての預言者、すべての先見者によってイスラエルとユダを戒め、「翻って、あなたがたの悪い道を離れ、わたしがあなたがたの先祖たちに命じ、またわたしのしもべである預言者たちによってあなたがたに伝えたすべての律法のとおりに、わたしの戒めと定めとを守れ」と仰せられたが、 | 17:13 Yet Yahweh testified to Israel, and to Judah, by every prophet, and every seer, saying, "Turn from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets." | |
| 17:14彼らは聞きいれず、彼らの先祖たちがその神、主を信じないで、強情であったように、彼らは強情であった。 | 17:14 Notwithstanding, they would not listen, but hardened their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who didn't believe in Yahweh their God. | |
| 17:15そして彼らは主の定めを捨て、主が彼らの先祖たちと結ばれた契約を破り、また彼らに与えられた警告を軽んじ、かつむなしい偶像に従ってむなしくなり、また周囲の異邦人に従った。これは主が、彼らのようにおこなってはならないと彼らに命じられたものである。 | 17:15 They rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified to them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and followed the nations that were around them, concerning whom Yahweh had commanded them that they should not do like them. | |
| 17:16彼らはその神、主のすべての戒めを捨て、自分のために二つの子牛の像を鋳て造り、またアシラ像を造り、天の万象を拝み、かつバアルに仕え、 | 17:16 They forsook all the commandments of Yahweh their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served Baal. | |
| 17:17またそのむすこ、娘を火に焼いてささげ物とし、占いおよびまじないをなし、主の目の前に悪をおこなうことに身をゆだねて、主を怒らせた。 | 17:17 They caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger. | |
| 17:18それゆえ、主は大いにイスラエルを怒り、彼らをみ前から除かれたので、ユダの部族のほか残った者はなかった。 | 17:18 Therefore Yahweh was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only. | |
| 17:19ところがユダもまたその神、主の戒めを守らず、イスラエルが定めたならわしに歩んだので、 | 17:19 Also Judah didn't keep the commandments of Yahweh their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made. | |
| 17:20主はイスラエルの子孫をことごとく捨て、彼らを苦しめ、彼らを略奪者の手にわたして、ついに彼らをみ前から打ちすてられた。 | 17:20 Yahweh rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight. | |
| 17:21主はイスラエルをダビデの家から裂き離されたので、イスラエルはネバテの子ヤラベアムを王としたが、ヤラベアムはイスラエルに、主に従うことをやめさせ、大きな罪を犯させた。 | 17:21 For he tore Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drove Israel from following Yahweh, and made them sin a great sin. | |
| 17:22イスラエルの人々がヤラベアムのおこなったすべての罪をおこない続けて、それを離れなかったので、 | 17:22 The children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they didn't depart from them; | |
| 17:23ついに主はそのしもべである預言者たちによって言われたように、イスラエルをみ前から除き去られた。こうしてイスラエルは自分の国からアッスリヤに移されて今日に至っている。 | 17:23 until Yahweh removed Israel out of his sight, as he spoke by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria to this day. | |
| 17:24かくてアッスリヤの王はバビロン、クタ、アワ、ハマテおよびセパルワイムから人々をつれてきて、これをイスラエルの人々の代りにサマリヤの町々におらせたので、その人々はサマリヤを領有して、その町々に住んだ。 | 17:24 The king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they possessed Samaria, and lived in the cities of it. | |
| 17:25彼らがそこに住み始めた時、主を敬うことをしなかったので、主は彼らのうちにししを送り、ししは彼らのうちの数人を殺した。 | 17:25 So it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they didn't fear Yahweh: therefore Yahweh sent lions among them, which killed some of them. | |
| 17:26そこで人々はアッスリヤの王に告げて言った、「あなたが移してサマリヤの町々におらせられたあの国々の民は、その地の神のおきてを知らないゆえに、その神は彼らのうちにししを送り、ししは彼らを殺した。これは彼らが、その地の神のおきてを知らないためです」。 | 17:26 Therefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, "The nations which you have carried away, and placed in the cities of Samaria, don't know the law of the god of the land. Therefore he has sent lions among them, and behold, they kill them, because they don't know the law of the god of the land." | |
| 17:27アッスリヤの王は命じて言った、「あなたがたがあそこから移した祭司のひとりをあそこへ連れて行きなさい。彼をあそこへやって住まわせ、その国の神のおきてをその人々に教えさせなさい」。 | 17:27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, "Carry there one of the priests whom you brought from there; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the law of the god of the land." | |
| 17:28そこでサマリヤから移された祭司のひとりが来てベテルに住み、どのように主を敬うべきかを彼らに教えた。 | 17:28 So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and lived in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear Yahweh. | |
| 17:29しかしその民はおのおの自分の神々を造って、それをサマリヤびとが造った高き所の家に安置した。民は皆住んでいる町々でそのようにおこなった。 | 17:29 However every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities in which they lived. | |
| 17:30すなわちバビロンの人々はスコテ・ベノテを造り、クタの人々はネルガルを造り、ハマテの人々はアシマを造り、 | 17:30 The men of Babylon made Succoth Benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima, | |
| 17:31アワの人々はニブハズとタルタクを造り、セパルワイムびとはその子を火に焼いて、セパルワイムの神アデランメレクおよびアナンメレクにささげた。 | 17:31 and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim. | |
| 17:32彼はまた主を敬い、自分たちのうちから一般の民を立てて高き所の祭司としたので、その人々は高き所の家で勤めをした。 | 17:32 So they feared Yahweh, and made to them from among themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places. | |
| 17:33このように彼らは主を敬ったが、また彼らが出てきた国々のならわしにしたがって、自分たちの神々にも仕えた。 | 17:33 They feared Yahweh, and served their own gods, after the ways of the nations from among whom they had been carried away. | |
| 17:34今日に至るまで彼らは先のならわしにしたがっておこなっている。彼らは主を敬わず、また主がイスラエルと名づけられたヤコブの子孫に命じられた定めにも、おきてにも、律法にも、戒めにも従わない。 | 17:34 To this day they do what they did before: they don't fear Yahweh, neither do they follow their statutes, or their ordinances, or the law or the commandment which Yahweh commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel; | |
| 17:35主はかつて彼らと契約を結び、彼らに命じて言われた、「あなたがたは他の神々を敬ってはならない。また彼らを拝み、彼らに仕え、彼らに犠牲をささげてはならない。 | 17:35 with whom Yahweh had made a covenant, and commanded them, saying, "You shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them; | |
| 17:36ただ大きな力と伸べた腕とをもって、あなたがたをエジプトの地から導き上った主をのみ敬い、これを拝み、これに犠牲をささげなければならない。 | 17:36 but you shall fear Yahweh, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, and you shall bow yourselves to him, and you shall sacrifice to him. | |
| 17:37またあなたがたのために書きしるされた定めと、おきてと、律法と、戒めとを、慎んで常に守らなければならない。他の神々を敬ってはならない。 | 17:37 The statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do forevermore. You shall not fear other gods. | |
| 17:38わたしがあなたがたと結んだ契約を忘れてはならない。また他の神々を敬ってはならない。 | 17:38 You shall not forget the covenant that I have made with you; neither shall you fear other gods. | |
| 17:39ただあなたがたの神、主を敬わなければならない。主はあなたがたをそのすべての敵の手から救い出されるであろう」。 | 17:39 But you shall fear Yahweh your God; and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies." | |
| 17:40しかし彼らは聞きいれず、かえって先のならわしにしたがっておこなった。 | 17:40 However they did not listen, but they did what they did before. | |
| 17:41このように、これらの民は主を敬い、またその刻んだ像にも仕えたが、その子たちも、孫たちも同様であって、彼らはその先祖がおこなったように今日までおこなっている。 | 17:41 So these nations feared Yahweh, and served their engraved images. Their children likewise, and their children's children, as their fathers did, so they do to this day. | |
| 18:1イスラエルの王エラの子ホセアの第三年にユダの王アハズの子ヒゼキヤが王となった。 | 18:1 Now it happened in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign. | |
| 18:2彼は王となった時二十五歳で、エルサレムで二十九年の間、世を治めた。その母はゼカリヤの娘で、名をアビといった。 | 18:2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah. | |
| 18:3ヒゼキヤはすべて先祖ダビデがおこなったように主の目にかなう事を行い、 | 18:3 He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that David his father had done. | |
| 18:4高き所を除き、石柱をこわし、アシラ像を切り倒し、モーセの造った青銅のへびを打ち砕いた。イスラエルの人々はこの時までそのへびに向かって香をたいていたからである。人々はこれをネホシタンと呼んだ。 | 18:4 He removed the high places, and broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah: and he broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made; for in those days the children of Israel burned incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan. | |
| 18:5ヒゼキヤはイスラエルの神、主に信頼した。そのために彼のあとにも彼の先にも、ユダのすべての王のうちに彼に及ぶ者はなかった。 | 18:5 He trusted in Yahweh, the God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among them that were before him. | |
| 18:6すなわち彼は固く主に従って離れることなく、主がモーセに命じられた命令を守った。 | 18:6 For he joined with Yahweh; he didn't depart from following him, but kept his commandments, which Yahweh commanded Moses. | |
| 18:7主が彼と共におられたので、すべて彼が出て戦うところで功をあらわした。彼はアッスリヤの王にそむいて、彼に仕えなかった。 | 18:7 Yahweh was with him; wherever he went forth he prospered: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and didn't serve him. | |
| 18:8彼はペリシテびとを撃ち敗って、ガザとその領域にまで達し、見張台から堅固な町にまで及んだ。 | 18:8 He struck the Philistines to Gaza and its borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city. | |
| 18:9ヒゼキヤ王の第四年すなわちイスラエルの王エラの子ホセアの第七年に、アッスリヤの王シャルマネセルはサマリヤに攻め上って、これを囲んだが、 | 18:9 It happened in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it. | |
| 18:10三年の後ついにこれを取った。サマリヤが取られたのはヒゼキヤの第六年で、それはイスラエルの王ホセアの第九年であった。 | 18:10 At the end of three years they took it: in the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken. | |
| 18:11アッスリヤの王はイスラエルの人々をアッスリヤに捕えていって、ハラと、ゴザンの川ハボルのほとりと、メデアの町々に置いた。 | 18:11 The king of Assyria carried Israel away to Assyria, and put them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes, | |
| 18:12これは彼らがその神、主の言葉にしたがわず、その契約を破り、主のしもべモーセの命じたすべての事に耳を傾けず、また行わなかったからである。 | 18:12 because they didn't obey the voice of Yahweh their God, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded, and would not hear it, nor do it. | |
| 18:13ヒゼキヤ王の第十四年にアッスリヤの王セナケリブが攻め上ってユダのすべての堅固な町々を取ったので、 | 18:13 Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them. | |
| 18:14ユダの王ヒゼキヤは人をラキシにつかわしてアッスリヤの王に言った、「わたしは罪を犯しました。どうぞ引き上げてください。わたしに課せられることはなんでもいたします」。アッスリヤの王は銀三百タラントと金三十タラントをユダの王ヒゼキヤに課した。 | 18:14 Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, "I have offended; return from me. That which you put on me, I will bear." The king of Assyria appointed to Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold. | |
| 18:15ヒゼキヤは主の宮と王の家の倉とにある銀をことごとく彼に与えた。 | 18:15 Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of Yahweh, and in the treasures of the king's house. | |
| 18:16この時ユダの王ヒゼキヤはまた主の神殿の戸および柱から自分が着せた金をはぎ取って、アッスリヤの王に与えた。 | 18:16 At that time, Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of Yahweh's temple, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria. | |
| 18:17アッスリヤの王はまたタルタン、ラブサリスおよびラブシャケを、ラキシから大軍を率いてエルサレムにいるヒゼキヤ王のもとにつかわした。彼らは上ってエルサレムに来た。彼らはエルサレムに着くと、布さらし場に行く大路に沿っている上の池の水道のかたわらへ行って、そこに立った。 | 18:17 The king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great army to Jerusalem. They went up and came to Jerusalem. When they had come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller's field. | |
| 18:18そして彼らが王を呼んだので、ヒルキヤの子である宮内卿エリアキム、書記官セブナ、およびアサフの子である史官ヨアが彼らのところに出てきた。 | 18:18 When they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder. | |
| 18:19ラブシャケは彼らに言った、「ヒゼキヤに言いなさい、『大王、アッスリヤの王はこう仰せられる。あなたが頼みとする者は何か。 | 18:19 Rabshakeh said to them, "Say now to Hezekiah, 'Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria, "What confidence is this in which you trust? | |
| 18:20口先だけの言葉が戦争をする計略と力だと考えるのか。あなたは今だれにたよって、わたしにそむいたのか。 | 18:20 You say (but they are but vain words), 'There is counsel and strength for war.' Now on whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me? | |
| 18:21今あなたは、あの折れかけている葦のつえ、エジプトを頼みとしているが、それは人がよりかかる時、その人の手を刺し通すであろう。エジプトの王パロはすべて寄り頼む者にそのようにする。 | 18:21 Now, behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt. If a man leans on it, it will go into his hand, and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust on him. | |
| 18:22しかしあなたがもし「われわれは、われわれの神、主を頼む」とわたしに言うのであれば、その神はヒゼキヤがユダとエルサレムに告げて、「あなたがたはエルサレムで、この祭壇の前に礼拝しなければならない」と言って、その高き所と祭壇とを除いた者ではないか。 | 18:22 But if you tell me, 'We trust in Yahweh our God;' isn't that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, 'You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?' | |
| 18:23さあ、わたしの主君アッスリヤの王とかけをせよ。もしあなたの方に乗る人があるならば、わたしは馬二千頭を与えよう。 | 18:23 Now therefore, please give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders on them. | |
| 18:24あなたはエジプトを頼み、戦車と騎兵を請い求めているが、わたしの主君の家来のうちの最も小さい一隊長でさえ、どうして撃退することができようか。 | 18:24 How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen? | |
| 18:25わたしがこの所を滅ぼすために上ってきたのは、主の許しなしにしたことであろうか。主がわたしにこの地に攻め上ってこれを滅ぼせと言われたのだ』」。 | 18:25 Have I now come up without Yahweh against this place to destroy it? Yahweh said to me, 'Go up against this land, and destroy it.'"'" | |
| 18:26その時ヒルキヤの子エリアキムおよびセブナとヨアはラブシャケに言った、「どうぞ、アラム語でしもべどもに話してください。わたしたちは、それがわかるからです。城壁の上にいる民の聞いているところで、わたしたちにユダヤの言葉で話さないでください」。 | 18:26 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, "Please speak to your servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it. Don't speak with us in the Jews' language, in the hearing of the people who are on the wall." | |
| 18:27しかしラブシャケは彼らに言った、「わたしの主君は、あなたの主君とあなたにだけでなく、城壁の上に座している人々にも、この言葉を告げるためにわたしをつかわしたのではないか。彼らも、あなたがたと共に自分の糞尿を食い飲みするに至るであろう」。 | 18:27 But Rabshakeh said to them, "Has my master sent me to your master, and to you, to speak these words? Hasn't he sent me to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water with you?" | |
| 18:28そしてラブシャケは立ちあがり、ユダヤの言葉で大声に呼ばわって言った。「大王、アッスリヤの王の言葉を聞け。 | 18:28 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spoke, saying, "Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria. | |
| 18:29王はこう仰せられる、『あなたがたはヒゼキヤに欺かれてはならない。彼はあなたがたをわたしの手から救いだすことはできない。 | 18:29 Thus says the king, 'Don't let Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand. | |
| 18:30ヒゼキヤが「主は必ずわれわれを救い出される。この町はアッスリヤ王の手に陥ることはない」と言っても、あなたがたは主を頼みとしてはならない』。 | 18:30 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in Yahweh, saying, "Yahweh will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria." | |
| 18:31あなたがたはヒゼキヤの言葉を聞いてはならない。アッスリヤの王はこう仰せられる、『あなたがたはわたしと和解して、わたしに降服せよ。そうすればあなたがたはおのおの自分のぶどうの実を食べ、おのおの自分のいちじくの実を食べ、おのおの自分の井戸の水を飲むことができるであろう。 | 18:31 Don't listen to Hezekiah.' For thus says the king of Assyria, 'Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and everyone of you eat of his vine, and everyone of his fig tree, and everyone drink the waters of his own cistern; | |
| 18:32やがてわたしが来て、あなたがたを一つの国へ連れて行く。それはあなたがたの国のように穀物とぶどう酒のある地、パンとぶどう畑のある地、オリブの木と蜜のある地である。あなたがたは生きながらえることができ、死ぬことはない。ヒゼキヤが「主はわれわれを救われる」と言って、あなたがたを惑わしても彼に聞いてはならない。 | 18:32 until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and of honey, that you may live, and not die. Don't listen to Hezekiah, when he persuades you, saying, "Yahweh will deliver us." | |
| 18:33諸国民の神々のうち、どの神がその国をアッスリヤの王の手から救ったか。 | 18:33 Has any of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria? | |
| 18:34ハマテやアルパデの神々はどこにいるのか。セパルワイム、ヘナおよびイワの神々はどこにいるのか。彼らはサマリヤをわたしの手から救い出したか。 | 18:34 Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand? | |
| 18:35国々のすべての神々のうち、その国をわたしの手から救い出した者があったか。主がどうしてエルサレムをわたしの手から救い出すことができよう』」。 | 18:35 Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Yahweh should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?'" | |
| 18:36しかし民は黙して、ひと言も彼に答えなかった。王が命じて「彼に答えてはならない」と言っておいたからである。 | 18:36 But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king's commandment was, "Don't answer him." | |
| 18:37こうしてヒルキヤの子である宮内卿エリアキム、書記官セブナ、およびアサフの子である史官ヨアは衣を裂き、ヒゼキヤのもとに来て、ラブシャケの言葉を彼に告げた。 | 18:37 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, came with Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh. | |
| 19:1ヒゼキヤ王はこれを聞いて、衣を裂き、荒布を身にまとって主に宮に入り、 | 19:1 It happened, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Yahweh. | |
| 19:2宮内卿エリアキムと書記官セブナおよび祭司のうちの年長者たちに荒布をまとわせて、アモツの子預言者イザヤのもとにつかわした。 | 19:2 He sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz. | |
| 19:3彼らはイザヤに言った、「ヒゼキヤはこう申されます、『きょうは悩みと、懲らしめと、はずかしめの日です。胎児がまさに生れようとして、これを産み出す力がないのです。 | 19:3 They said to him, "Thus says Hezekiah, 'This day is a day of trouble, of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the point of birth, and there is no strength to deliver them. | |
| 19:4あなたの神、主はラブシャケがその主君アッスリヤの王につかわされて、生ける神をそしったもろもろの言葉を聞かれたかもしれません。そしてあなたの神、主はその聞いた言葉をとがめられるかもしれません。それゆえ、この残っている者のために祈をささげてください』」。 | 19:4 It may be Yahweh your God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which Yahweh your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.'" | |
| 19:5ヒゼキヤ王の家来たちがイザヤのもとに来たとき、 | 19:5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah. | |
| 19:6イザヤは彼らに言った、「あなたがたの主君にこう言いなさい、『主はこう仰せられる、アッスリヤの王の家来たちが、わたしをそしった言葉を聞いて恐れるには及ばない。 | 19:6 Isaiah said to them, "Thus you shall tell your master, 'Thus says Yahweh, "Don't be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. | |
| 19:7見よ、わたしは一つの霊を彼らのうちに送って、一つのうわさを聞かせ、彼を自分の国へ帰らせて、自分の国でつるぎに倒れさせるであろう』」。 | 19:7 Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he will hear news, and will return to his own land. I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land."'" | |
| 19:8ラブシャケは引き返して、アッスリヤの王がリブナを攻めているところへ行った。彼が王のラキシを去ったことを聞いたからである。 | 19:8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish. | |
| 19:9この時アッスリヤの王はエチオピヤの王テルハカについて、「彼はあなたと戦うために出てきた」と人々がいうのを聞いたので、再び使者をヒゼキヤにつかわして言った、 | 19:9 When he heard it said of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, "Behold, he has come out to fight against you, he sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying, | |
| 19:10「ユダの王ヒゼキヤにこう言いなさい、『あなたは、エルサレムはアッスリヤの王の手に陥ることはない、と言うあなたの信頼する神に欺かれてはならない。 | 19:10 'Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, "Don't let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria. | |
| 19:11あなたはアッスリヤの王たちがもろもろの国々にした事、彼らを全く滅ぼした事を聞いている。どうしてあなたが救われることができようか。 | 19:11 Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Will you be delivered? | |
| 19:12わたしの父たちはゴザン、ハラン、レゼフ、およびテラサルにいたエデンの人々を滅ぼしたが、その国々の神々は彼らを救ったか。 | 19:12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden that were in Telassar? | |
| 19:13ハマテの王、アルパデの王、セパルワイムの町の王、ヘナの王およびイワの王はどこにいるのか』」。 | 19:13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?"'" | |
| 19:14ヒゼキヤは使者の手から手紙を受け取ってそれを読み、主の宮にのぼっていって、主の前にそれをひろげ、 | 19:14 Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to the house of Yahweh, and spread it before Yahweh. | |
| 19:15そしてヒゼキヤは主の前に祈って言った、「ケルビムの上に座しておられるイスラエルの神、主よ、地のすべての国のうちで、ただあなただけが神でいらせられます。あなたは天と地を造られました。 | 19:15 Hezekiah prayed before Yahweh, and said, "Yahweh, the God of Israel, who sit above the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth. | |
| 19:16主よ、耳を傾けて聞いてください。主よ、目を開いてごらんください。セナケリブが生ける神をそしるために書き送った言葉をお聞きください。 | 19:16 Incline your ear, Yahweh, and hear. Open your eyes, Yahweh, and see. Hear the words of Sennacherib, with which he has sent to defy the living God. | |
| 19:17主よ、まことにアッスリヤの王たちはもろもろの民とその国々を滅ぼし、 | 19:17 Truly, Yahweh, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands, | |
| 19:18またその神々を火に投げ入れました。それらは神ではなく、人の手の作ったもので、木や石だから滅ぼされたのです。 | 19:18 and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone. Therefore they have destroyed them. | |
| 19:19われわれの神、主よ、どうぞ、今われわれを彼の手から救い出してください。そうすれば地の国々は皆、主であるあなただけが神でいらせられることを知るようになるでしょう」。 | 19:19 Now therefore, Yahweh our God, save us, I beg you, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, Yahweh, are God alone." | |
| 19:20その時アモツの子イザヤは人をつかわしてヒゼキヤに言った、「イスラエルの神、主はこう仰せられる、『アッスリヤの王セナケリブについてあなたがわたしに祈ったことは聞いた』。 | 19:20 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, "Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, 'Whereas you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard you. | |
| 19:21主が彼について語られた言葉はこうである、『処女であるシオンの娘はあなたを侮り、あなたをあざける。エルサレムの娘はあなたのうしろで頭を振る。 | 19:21 This is the word that Yahweh has spoken concerning him: "The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you. | |
| 19:22あなたはだれをそしり、だれをののしったのか。あなたはだれにむかって声をあげ、目を高くあげたのか。イスラエルの聖者にむかってしたのだ。 | 19:22 Whom have you defied and blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel. | |
| 19:23あなたは使者をもって主をそしって言った、「わたしは多くの戦車をひきいて山々の頂にのぼり、レバノンの奥に行き、たけの高い香柏と最も良いいとすぎを切り倒し、またその果の野営地に行き、その密林にはいった。 | 19:23 By your messengers you have defied the Lord, and have said, 'With the multitude of my chariots, I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I will cut down its tall cedars, and its choice fir trees; and I will enter into his farthest lodging place, the forest of his fruitful field. | |
| 19:24わたしは井戸を掘って外国の水を飲んだ。わたしは足の裏で、エジプトのすべての川を踏みからした」。 | 19:24 I have dug and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet will I dry up all the rivers of Egypt.' | |
| 19:25あなたは聞かなかったか、昔わたしがこれを定めたことを。堅固な町々をあなたが荒塚とすることも、いにしえの日からわたしが計画して今これをおこなうのだ。 | 19:25 Haven't you heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? Now have I brought it to pass, that it should be yours to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps. | |
| 19:26そのうちに住む民は力弱くおののき、恥をいだいて、野の草のように、青菜のようになり、育たないで枯れる屋根の草のようになった。 | 19:26 Therefore their inhabitants were of small power. They were dismayed and confounded. They were like the grass of the field, and like the green herb, like the grass on the housetops, and like grain blasted before it has grown up. | |
| 19:27わたしはあなたのすわること、出入りすること、わたしにむかって怒り叫んだことをも知っている。 | 19:27 But I know your sitting down, and your going out, and your coming in, and your raging against me. | |
| 19:28あなたがわたしにむかって怒り叫んだことと、あなたの高慢がわたしの耳にはいったため、わたしはあなたの鼻に輪をつけ、あなたの口にくつわをはめて、あなたをもときた道へ引きもどすであろう』。 | 19:28 Because of your raging against me, and because your arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore will I put my hook in your nose, and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came." | |
| 19:29『あなたに与えるしるしはこれである。すなわち、ことしは落ち穂からはえたものを食べ、二年目にはまたその落ち穂からはえたものを食べ、三年目には種をまき、刈り入れ、ぶどう畑を作ってその実を食べるであろう。 | 19:29 "'This shall be the sign to you: You shall eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs of the same; and in the third year sow, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat its fruit. | |
| 19:30ユダの家ののがれて残る者は再び下に根を張り、上に実を結ぶであろう。 | 19:30 The remnant that has escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward. | |
| 19:31すなわち残る者がエルサレムから出てき、のがれた者がシオンの山から出て来るであろう。主の熱心がこれをされるであろう』。 | 19:31 For out of Jerusalem a remnant will go out, and out of Mount Zion those who shall escape. The zeal of Yahweh will perform this.' | |
| 19:32それゆえ、主はアッスリヤの王について、こう仰せられる、『彼はこの町にこない、またここに矢を放たない、盾をもってその前に来ることなく、また塁を築いてこれを攻めることはない。 | 19:32 "Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the king of Assyria, 'He shall not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it. | |
| 19:33彼は来た道を帰って、この町に、はいることはない。主がこれを言う。 | 19:33 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come to this city,' says Yahweh. | |
| 19:34わたしは自分のため、またわたしのしもべダビデのためにこの町を守って、これを救うであろう』」。 | 19:34 'For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.'" | |
| 19:35その夜、主の使が出て、アッスリヤの陣営で十八万五千人を撃ち殺した。人々が朝早く起きて見ると、彼らは皆、死体となっていた。 | 19:35 It happened that night, that the angel of Yahweh went out, and struck one hundred eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies. | |
| 19:36アッスリヤの王セナケリブは立ち去り、帰って行ってニネベにいたが、 | 19:36 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and lived at Nineveh. | |
| 19:37その神ニスロクの神殿で礼拝していた時、その子アデランメレクとシャレゼルが、つるぎをもって彼を殺し、ともにアララテの地へ逃げて行った。そこでその子エサルハドンが代って王となった。 | 19:37 It happened, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esar Haddon his son reigned in his place. | |
| 20:1そのころ、ヒゼキヤは病気になって死にかかっていた。アモツの子預言者イザヤは彼のところにきて言った、「主はこう仰せられます、『家の人に遺言をなさい。あなたは死にます。生きながらえることはできません』」。 | 20:1 In those days was Hezekiah sick to death. Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, "Thus says Yahweh, 'Set your house in order; for you shall die, and not live.'" | |
| 20:2そこでヒゼキヤは顔を壁に向けて主に祈って言った、 | 20:2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to Yahweh, saying, | |
| 20:3「ああ主よ、わたしが真実を真心をもってあなたの前に歩み、あなたの目にかなうことをおこなったのをどうぞ思い起してください」。そしてヒゼキヤは激しく泣いた。 | 20:3 "Remember now, Yahweh, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight." Hezekiah wept bitterly. | |
| 20:4イザヤがまだ中庭を出ないうちに主の言葉が彼に臨んだ、 | 20:4 It happened, before Isaiah had gone out into the middle part of the city, that the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, | |
| 20:5「引き返して、わたしの民の君ヒゼキヤに言いなさい、『あなたの父ダビデの神、主はこう仰せられる、わたしはあなたの祈を聞き、あなたの涙を見た。見よ、わたしはあなたをいやす。三日目にはあなたは主の宮に上るであろう。 | 20:5 "Turn back, and tell Hezekiah the prince of my people, 'Thus says Yahweh, the God of David your father, "I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On the third day, you shall go up to the house of Yahweh. | |
| 20:6かつ、わたしはあなたのよわいを十五年増す。わたしはあなたと、この町とをアッスリヤの王の手から救い、わたしの名のため、またわたしのしもべダビデのためにこの町を守るであろう』」。 | 20:6 I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake."'" | |
| 20:7そしてイザヤは言った、「干しいちじくのひとかたまりを持ってきて、それを腫物につけさせなさい。そうすれば直るでしょう」。 | 20:7 Isaiah said, "Take a cake of figs." They took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered. | |
| 20:8ヒゼキヤはイザヤに言った、「主がわたしをいやされる事と、三日目にわたしが主の家に上ることについて、どんなしるしがありましょうか」。 | 20:8 Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "What shall be the sign that Yahweh will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of Yahweh the third day?" | |
| 20:9イザヤは言った、「主が約束されたことを行われることについては、主からこのしるしを得られるでしょう。すなわち日影が十度進むか、あるいは十度退くかです」。 | 20:9 Isaiah said, "This shall be the sign to you from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do the thing that he has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?" | |
| 20:10ヒゼキヤは答えた、「日影が十度進むことはたやすい事です。むしろ日影を十度退かせてください」。 | 20:10 Hezekiah answered, "It is a light thing for the shadow to go forward ten steps. Nay, but let the shadow return backward ten steps." | |
| 20:11そこで預言者イザヤが主に呼ばわると、アハズの日時計の上に進んだ日影を、十度退かせられた。 | 20:11 Isaiah the prophet cried to Yahweh; and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz. | |
| 20:12そのころ、バラダンの子であるバビロンの王メロダクバラダンは、手紙と贈り物を持たせて使節をヒゼキヤにつかわした。これはヒゼキヤが病んでいることを聞いたからである。 | 20:12 At that time Berodach Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah; for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick. | |
| 20:13ヒゼキヤは彼らを喜び迎えて、宝物の蔵、金銀、香料、貴重な油および武器倉、ならびにその倉庫にあるすべての物を彼らに見せた。家にある物も、国にある物も、ヒゼキヤが彼らに見せない物は一つもなかった。 | 20:13 Hezekiah listened to them, and showed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah didn't show them. | |
| 20:14その時、預言者イザヤはヒゼキヤ王のもとにきて言った、「あの人々は何を言いましたか。どこからきたのですか」。ヒゼキヤは言った、「彼らは遠い国から、バビロンからきたのです」。 | 20:14 Then Isaiah the prophet came to king Hezekiah, and said to him, "What did these men say? From where did they come to you?" Hezekiah said, "They have come from a far country, even from Babylon." | |
| 20:15イザヤは言った、「彼らはあなたの家で何を見ましたか」。ヒゼキヤは答えて言った、「わたしの家にある物を皆見ました。わたしの倉庫のうちには、わたしが彼らに見せない物は一つもありません」。 | 20:15 He said, "What have they seen in your house?" Hezekiah answered, "They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them." | |
| 20:16そこでイザヤはヒゼキヤに言った、「主の言葉を聞きなさい、 | 20:16 Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Hear the word of Yahweh. | |
| 20:17『主は言われる、見よ、すべてあなたの家にある物、および、あなたの先祖たちが今日までに積みたくわえた物の、バビロンに運び去られる日が来る。何も残るものはないであろう。 | 20:17 'Behold, the days come, that all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have laid up in store to this day, shall be carried to Babylon. Nothing shall be left,' says Yahweh. | |
| 20:18また、あなたの身から出るあなたの子たちも連れ去られ、バビロンの王の宮殿で宦官となるであろう』」。 | 20:18 'Of your sons who shall issue from you, whom you shall father, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.'" | |
| 20:19ヒゼキヤはイザヤに言った、「あなたが言われた主の言葉は結構です」。彼は「せめて自分が世にあるあいだ、平和と安全があれば良いことではなかろうか」と思ったからである。 | 20:19 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "The word of Yahweh which you have spoken is good." He said moreover, "Isn't it so, if peace and truth shall be in my days?" | |
| 20:20ヒゼキヤのその他の事績とその武勇および、彼が貯水池と水道を作って、町に水を引いた事は、ユダの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。 | 20:20 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made the pool, and the conduit, and brought water into the city, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? | |
| 20:21ヒゼキヤはその先祖たちと共に眠って、その子マナセが代って王となった。 | 20:21 Hezekiah slept with his fathers; and Manasseh his son reigned in his place. | |
| 21:1マナセは十二歳で王となり、五十五年の間、エルサレムで世を治めた。母の名はヘフジバといった。 | 21:1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hephzibah. | |
| 21:2マナセは主がイスラエルの人々の前から追い払われた国々の民の憎むべきおこないにならって、主の目の前に悪をおこなった。 | 21:2 He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, after the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel. | |
| 21:3彼は父ヒゼキヤがこわした高き所を建て直し、またイスラエルの王アハブがしたようにバアルのために祭壇を築き、アシラ像を造り、かつ天の万象を拝んで、これに仕えた。 | 21:3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as did Ahab king of Israel, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them. | |
| 21:4また主の宮のうちに数個の祭壇を築いた。これは主が「わたしの名をエルサレムに置こう」と言われたその宮である。 | 21:4 He built altars in the house of Yahweh, of which Yahweh said, "I will put my name in Jerusalem." | |
| 21:5彼はまた主の宮の二つの庭に天の万象のために祭壇を築いた。 | 21:5 He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the house of Yahweh. | |
| 21:6またその子を火に焼いてささげ物とし、占いをし、魔術を行い、口寄せと魔法使を用い、主の目の前に多くの悪を行って、主の怒りを引き起した。 | 21:6 He made his son to pass through the fire, and practiced sorcery, and used enchantments, and dealt with those who had familiar spirits, and with wizards: he worked much evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger. | |
| 21:7彼はまたアシラの彫像を作って主の宮に置いた。主はこの宮についてダビデとその子ソロモンに言われたことがある、「わたしはこの宮と、わたしがイスラエルのすべての部族のうちから選んだエルサレムとに、わたしの名を永遠に置く。 | 21:7 He set the engraved image of Asherah, that he had made, in the house of which Yahweh said to David and to Solomon his son, "In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name forever; | |
| 21:8もし、彼らがわたしが命じたすべての事、およびわたしのしもべモーセが命じたすべての律法を守り行うならば、イスラエルの足を、わたしが彼らの先祖たちに与えた地から、重ねて迷い出させないであろう」。 | 21:8 neither will I cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land which I gave their fathers, if only they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them." | |
| 21:9しかし彼らは聞きいれなかった。マナセが人々をいざなって悪を行ったことは、主がイスラエルの人々の前に滅ぼされた国々の民よりもはなはだしかった。 | 21:9 But they didn't listen: and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than the nations did whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel. | |
| 21:10そこで主はそのしもべである預言者たちによって言われた、 | 21:10 Yahweh spoke by his servants the prophets, saying, | |
| 21:11「ユダの王マナセがこれらの憎むべき事を行い、彼の先にあったアモリびとの行ったすべての事よりも悪い事を行い、またその偶像をもってユダに罪を犯させたので、 | 21:11 "Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, and has done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, who were before him, and has made Judah also to sin with his idols; | |
| 21:12イスラエルの神、主はこう仰せられる、見よ、わたしはエルサレムとユダに災をくだそうとしている。これを聞く者は、その耳が二つながら鳴るであろう。 | 21:12 therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, 'Behold, I bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both his ears shall tingle. | |
| 21:13わたしはサマリヤをはかった測りなわと、アハブの家に用いた下げ振りをエルサレムにほどこし、人が皿をぬぐい、これをぬぐって伏せるように、エルサレムをぬぐい去る。 | 21:13 I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. | |
| 21:14わたしは、わたしの嗣業の民の残りを捨て、彼らを敵の手に渡す。彼らはもろもろの敵のえじきとなり、略奪にあうであろう。 | 21:14 I will cast off the remnant of my inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies. They will become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies; | |
| 21:15これは彼らの先祖たちがエジプトを出た日から今日に至るまで、彼らがわたしの目の前に悪を行って、わたしを怒らせたためである」。 | 21:15 because they have done that which is evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even to this day.'" | |
| 21:16マナセはまた主の目の前に悪を行って、ユダに罪を犯させたその罪のほかに、罪なき者の血を多く流して、エルサレムのこの果から、かの果にまで満たした。 | 21:16 Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; besides his sin with which he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh. | |
| 21:17マナセのその他の事績と、彼がおこなったすべての事およびその犯した罪は、ユダの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。 | 21:17 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? | |
| 21:18マナセは先祖たちと共に眠って、その家の園すなわちウザの園に葬られ、その子アモンが代って王となった。 | 21:18 Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza: and Amon his son reigned in his place. | |
| 21:19アモンは王となった時二十二歳であって、エルサレムで二年の間、世を治めた。母はヨテバのハルツの娘で、名をメシュレメテといった。 | 21:19 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah. | |
| 21:20アモンはその父マナセのおこなったように、主の目の前に悪を行った。 | 21:20 He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as Manasseh his father did. | |
| 21:21すなわち彼はすべてその父の歩んだ道に歩み、父の仕えた偶像に仕えて、これを拝み、 | 21:21 He walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshiped them: | |
| 21:22先祖たちの神、主を捨てて、主の道に歩まなかった。 | 21:22 and he forsook Yahweh, the God of his fathers, and didn't walk in the way of Yahweh. | |
| 21:23アモンの家来たちはついに彼に敵して徒党を結び、王をその家で殺したが、 | 21:23 The servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house. | |
| 21:24国の民は、アモン王に敵して徒党を結んだ者をことごとく撃ち殺した。そして国の民はアモンの子ヨシヤを王としてアモンに代らせた。 | 21:24 But the people of the land killed all those who had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place. | |
| 21:25アモンのその他の事績は、ユダの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。 | 21:25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? | |
| 21:26アモンはウザの園にある墓に葬られ、その子ヨシヤが代って王となった。 | 21:26 He was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his place. | |
| 22:1ヨシヤは八歳で王となり、エルサレムで三十一年の間、世を治めた。母はボヅカテのアダヤの娘で、名をエデダといった。 | 22:1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath. | |
| 22:2ヨシヤは主の目にかなう事を行い、先祖ダビデの道に歩んで右にも左にも曲らなかった。 | 22:2 He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, and walked in all the way of David his father, and didn't turn aside to the right hand or to the left. | |
| 22:3ヨシヤ王の第十八年に王はメシュラムの子アザリヤの子である書記官シャパンを主の宮につかわして言った、 | 22:3 It happened in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of Yahweh, saying, | |
| 22:4「大祭司ヒルキヤのもとへのぼって行って、主に宮にはいってきた銀、すなわち門を守る者が民から集めたものの総額を彼に数えさせ、 | 22:4 "Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the money which is brought into the house of Yahweh, which the keepers of the threshold have gathered of the people. | |
| 22:5それを工事をつかさどる主の宮の監督者の手に渡させ、彼らから主の宮で工事をする者にそれを渡して、宮の破れを繕わせなさい。 | 22:5 Let them deliver it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of Yahweh; and let them give it to the workmen who are in the house of Yahweh, to repair the breaches of the house, | |
| 22:6すなわち木工と建築師と石工にそれを渡し、また宮を繕う材木と切り石を買わせなさい。 | 22:6 to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the house. | |
| 22:7ただし彼らは正直に事を行うから、彼らに渡した銀については彼らと計算するに及ばない」。 | 22:7 However there was no accounting made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand; for they dealt faithfully." | |
| 22:8その時大祭司ヒルキヤは書記官シャパンに言った、「わたしは主の宮で律法の書を見つけました」。そしてヒルキヤがその書物をシャパンに渡したので、彼はそれを読んだ。 | 22:8 Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, "I have found the book of the law in the house of Yahweh." Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan, and he read it. | |
| 22:9書記官シャパンは王のもとへ行き、王に報告して言った、「しもべどもは宮にあった銀を皆出して、それを工事をつかさどる主の宮の監督者の手に渡しました」。 | 22:9 Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, "Your servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of Yahweh." | |
| 22:10書記官シャパンはまた王に告げて「祭司ヒルキヤはわたしに一つの書物を渡しました」と言い、それを王の前で読んだ。 | 22:10 Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, "Hilkiah the priest has delivered a book to me." Shaphan read it before the king. | |
| 22:11王はその律法の書の言葉を聞くと、その衣を裂いた。 | 22:11 It happened, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he tore his clothes. | |
| 22:12そして王は祭司ヒルキヤと、シャパンの子アヒカムと、ミカヤの子アクボルと、書記官シャパンと、王の大臣アサヤとに命じて言った、 | 22:12 The king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king's servant, saying, | |
| 22:13「あなたがたは行って、この見つかった書物の言葉について、わたしのため、民のため、またユダ全国のために主に尋ねなさい。われわれの先祖たちがこの書物の言葉に聞き従わず、すべてわれわれについてしるされている事を行わなかったために、主はわれわれにむかって、大いなる怒りを発しておられるからです」。 | 22:13 "Go inquire of Yahweh for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found; for great is the wrath of Yahweh that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this book, to do according to all that which is written concerning us." | |
| 22:14そこで祭司ヒルキヤ、アヒカム、アクボル、シャパンおよびアサヤはシャルムの妻である女預言者ホルダのもとへ行った。シャルムはハルハスの子であるテクワの子で、衣装べやを守る者であった。その時ホルダはエルサレムの下町に住んでいた。彼らがホルダに告げたので、 | 22:14 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter); and they talked with her. | |
| 22:15ホルダは彼らに言った、「イスラエルの神、主はこう仰せられます、『あなたがたをわたしにつかわした人に言いなさい。 | 22:15 She said to them, "Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: 'Tell the man who sent you to me, | |
| 22:16主はこう言われます、見よ、わたしはユダの王が読んだあの書物のすべての言葉にしたがって、災をこの所と、ここに住んでいる民に下そうとしている。 | 22:16 "Thus says Yahweh, 'Behold, I will bring evil on this place, and on its inhabitants, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah has read. | |
| 22:17彼らがわたしを捨てて他の神々に香をたき、自分たちの手で作ったもろもろの物をもって、わたしを怒らせたからである。それゆえ、わたしはこの所にむかって怒りの火を発する。これは消えることがないであろう』。 | 22:17 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and it shall not be quenched.'" | |
| 22:18ただし主に尋ねるために、あなたがたをつかわしたユダの王にはこう言いなさい、『あなたが聞いた言葉についてイスラエルの神、主はこう仰せられます、 | 22:18 But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Yahweh, thus you shall tell him, "Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: 'Concerning the words which you have heard, | |
| 22:19あなたは、わたしがこの所と、ここに住んでいる民にむかって、これは荒れ地となり、のろいとなるであろうと言うのを聞いた時、心に悔い、主の前にへりくだり、衣を裂いてわたしの前に泣いたゆえ、わたしもまたあなたの言うことを聞いたのであると主は言われる。 | 22:19 because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before Yahweh, when you heard what I spoke against this place, and against its inhabitants, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and have torn your clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard you,' says Yahweh. | |
| 22:20それゆえ、見よ、わたしはあなたを先祖たちのもとに集める。あなたは安らかに墓に集められ、わたしがこの所に下すもろもろの災を目に見ることはないであろう』」。彼らはこの言葉を王に持ち帰った。 | 22:20 'Therefore behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, neither shall your eyes see all the evil which I will bring on this place.'"'" They brought back this message to the king. | |
| 23:1そこで王は人をつかわしてユダとエルサレムの長老たちをことごとく集めた。 | 23:1 The king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem. | |
| 23:2そして王はユダのもろもろの人々と、エルサレムのすべての住民および祭司、預言者ならびに大小のすべての民を従えて主の宮にのぼり、主の宮で見つかった契約の書の言葉をことごとく彼らに読み聞かせた。 | 23:2 The king went up to the house of Yahweh, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of Yahweh. | |
| 23:3次いで王は柱のかたわらに立って、主の前に契約を立て、主に従って歩み、心をつくし精神をつくして、主の戒めと、あかしと、定めとを守り、この書物にしるされているこの契約の言葉を行うことを誓った。民は皆その契約に加わった。 | 23:3 The king stood by the pillar, and made a covenant before Yahweh, to walk after Yahweh, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book: and all the people stood to the covenant. | |
| 23:4こうして王は大祭司ヒルキヤと、それに次ぐ祭司たちおよび門を守る者どもに命じて、主の神殿からバアルとアシラと天の万象とのために作ったもろもろの器を取り出させ、エルサレムの外のキデロンの野でそれを焼き、その灰をベテルに持って行かせた。 | 23:4 The king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring forth out of Yahweh's temple all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the Asherah, and for all the army of the sky, and he burned them outside of Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel. | |
| 23:5また、ユダの町々とエルサレムの周囲にある高き所で香をたくためにユダの王たちが任命した祭司たちを廃し、またバアルと日と月と星宿と天の万象とに香をたく者どもをも廃した。 | 23:5 He put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places around Jerusalem; those also who burned incense to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the army of the sky. | |
| 23:6彼はまた主の宮からアシラ像を取り出し、エルサレムの外のキデロン川に持って行って、キデロン川でそれを焼き、それを打ち砕いて粉とし、その粉を民の墓に投げすてた。 | 23:6 He brought out the Asherah from the house of Yahweh, outside of Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and beat it to dust, and cast its dust on the graves of the common people. | |
| 23:7また主の宮にあった神殿男娼の家をこわした。そこは女たちがアシラ像のために掛け幕を織る所であった。 | 23:7 He broke down the houses of the sodomites, that were in the house of Yahweh, where the women wove hangings for the Asherah. | |
| 23:8彼はまたユダの町々から祭司をことごとく召しよせ、また祭司が香をたいたゲバからベエルシバまでの高き所を汚し、また門にある高き所をこわした。これらの高き所は町のつかさヨシュアの門の入口にあり、町の門にはいる人の左にあった。 | 23:8 He brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba; and he broke down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man's left hand at the gate of the city. | |
| 23:9高き所の祭司たちはエルサレムで主の祭壇にのぼることをしなかったが、その兄弟たちのうちにあって種入れぬパンを食べた。 | 23:9 Nevertheless the priests of the high places didn't come up to the altar of Yahweh in Jerusalem, but they ate unleavened bread among their brothers. | |
| 23:10王はまた、だれもそのむすこ娘を火に焼いて、モレクにささげ物とすることのないように、ベンヒンノムの谷にあるトペテを汚した。 | 23:10 He defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech. | |
| 23:11またユダの王たちが太陽にささげて主の宮の門に置いた馬を、境内にある侍従ナタンメレクのへやのかたわらに移し、太陽の車を火で焼いた。 | 23:11 He took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entrance of the house of Yahweh, by the room of Nathan Melech the officer, who was in the court; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire. | |
| 23:12また王はユダの王たちがアハズの高殿の屋上に造った祭壇と、マナセが主の宮の二つの庭に造った祭壇とをこわして、それを打ち砕き、砕けたものをキデロン川に投げすてた。 | 23:12 The king broke down the altars that were on the roof of the upper room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of Yahweh, and beat them down from there, and cast their dust into the brook Kidron. | |
| 23:13また王はイスラエルの王ソロモンが昔シドンびとの憎むべき者アシタロテと、モアブびとの憎むべき者ケモシと、アンモンの人々の憎むべき者ミルコムのためにエルサレムの東、滅亡の山の南に築いた高き所を汚した。 | 23:13 The the king defiled the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mountain of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon. | |
| 23:14またもろもろの石柱を打ち砕き、アシラ像を切り倒し、人の骨をもってその所を満たした。 | 23:14 He broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and filled their places with the bones of men. | |
| 23:15また、ベテルにある祭壇と、イスラエルに罪を犯させたネバテの子ヤラベアムが造った高き所、すなわちその祭壇と高き所とを彼はこわし、その石を打ち砕いて粉とし、かつアシラ像を焼いた。 | 23:15 Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he broke down; and he burned the high place and beat it to dust, and burned the Asherah. | |
| 23:16そしてヨシヤは身をめぐらして山に墓のあるのを見、人をつかわしてその墓から骨を取らせ、それをその祭壇の上で焼いて、それを汚した。昔、神の人が主の言葉としてこの事を呼ばわり告げたが、そのとおりになった。 | 23:16 As Josiah turned himself, he spied the tombs that were there in the mountain; and he sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burned them on the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of Yahweh which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things. | |
| 23:17その時ヨシヤは「あそこに見える石碑は何か」と尋ねた。町の人々が彼に「あれはあなたがベテルの祭壇に対して行われたこれらの事を、ユダからきて預言した神の人の墓です」と言ったので、 | 23:17 Then he said, "What monument is that which I see?" The men of the city told him, "It is the tomb of the man of God, who came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that you have done against the altar of Bethel." | |
| 23:18彼は言った、「そのままにして置きなさい。だれもその骨を移してはならない」。それでその骨と、サマリヤからきた預言者の骨には手をつけなかった。 | 23:18 He said, "Let him be! Let no man move his bones." So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria. | |
| 23:19またイスラエルの王たちがサマリヤの町々に造って、主を怒らせた高き所の家も皆ヨシヤは取り除いて、彼がすべてベテルに行ったようにこれに行った。 | 23:19 All the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke Yahweh to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel. | |
| 23:20彼はまた、そこにあった高き所の祭司たちを皆祭壇の上で殺し、人の骨を祭壇の上で焼いた。こうして彼はエルサレムに帰った。 | 23:20 He killed all the priests of the high places that were there, on the altars, and burned men's bones on them; and he returned to Jerusalem. | |
| 23:21そして王はすべての民に命じて、「あなたがたはこの契約の書にしるされているように、あなたがたの神、主に過越の祭を執り行いなさい」と言った。 | 23:21 The king commanded all the people, saying, "Keep the Passover to Yahweh your God, as it is written in this book of the covenant." | |
| 23:22さばきづかさがイスラエルをさばいた日からこのかた、またイスラエルの王たちとユダの王たちの世にも、このような過越の祭を執り行ったことはなかったが、 | 23:22 Surely there was not kept such a Passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah; | |
| 23:23ヨシヤ王の第十八年に、エルサレムでこの過越の祭を主に執り行ったのである。 | 23:23 but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this Passover kept to Yahweh in Jerusalem. | |
| 23:24ヨシヤはまた祭司ヒルキヤが主の宮で見つけた書物にしるされている律法の言葉を確実に行うために、口寄せと占い師と、テラピムと偶像およびユダの地とエルサレムに見られるもろもろの憎むべき者を取り除いた。 | 23:24 Moreover Josiah removed those who had familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of Yahweh. | |
| 23:25ヨシヤのように心をつくし、精神をつくし、力をつくしてモーセのすべての律法にしたがい、主に寄り頼んだ王はヨシヤの先にはなく、またその後にも彼のような者は起らなかった。 | 23:25 Like him was there no king before him, who turned to Yahweh with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him. | |
| 23:26けれども主はなおユダにむかって発せられた激しい大いなる怒りをやめられなかった。これはマナセがもろもろの腹だたしい行いをもって主を怒らせたためである。 | 23:26 Notwithstanding, Yahweh didn't turn from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocation with which Manasseh had provoked him. | |
| 23:27それゆえ主は言われた、「わたしはイスラエルを移したように、ユダをもわたしの目の前から移し、わたしが選んだこのエルサレムの町と、わたしの名をそこに置こうと言ったこの宮とを捨てるであろう」。 | 23:27 Yahweh said, "I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, 'My name shall be there.'" | |
| 23:28ヨシヤのその他の事績と、彼が行ったすべての事は、ユダの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。 | 23:28 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? | |
| 23:29ヨシヤの世にエジプトの王パロ・ネコが、アッスリヤの王のところへ行こうと、ユフラテ川をさして上ってきたので、ヨシヤ王は彼を迎え撃とうと出て行ったが、パロ・ネコは彼を見るや、メギドにおいて彼を殺した。 | 23:29 In his days Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and Pharaoh Necoh killed him at Megiddo, when he had seen him. | |
| 23:30その家来たちは彼の死体を車に載せ、メギドからエルサレムに運んで彼の墓に葬った。国の民はヨシヤの子エホアハズを立て、彼に油を注ぎ、王として父に代らせた。 | 23:30 His servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. The people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's place. | |
| 23:31エホアハズは王となった時二十三歳で、エルサレムで三か月の間、世を治めた。母はリブナのエレミヤの娘で、名をハムタルといった。 | 23:31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. | |
| 23:32エホアハズは先祖たちがすべて行ったように主の目の前に悪を行ったが、 | 23:32 He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that his fathers had done. | |
| 23:33パロ・ネコは彼をハマテの地のリブラにつないで置いて、エルサレムで世を治めることができないようにした。また銀百タラントと金一タラントのみつぎを国に課した。 | 23:33 Pharaoh Necoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of one hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold. | |
| 23:34そしてパロ・ネコはヨシヤの子エリアキムを父ヨシヤに代って王とならせ、名をエホヤキムと改め、エホアハズをエジプトへ引いて行った。エホアハズはエジプトへ行ってそこで死んだ。 | 23:34 Pharaoh Necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim: but he took Jehoahaz away; and he came to Egypt, and died there. | |
| 23:35エホヤキムは金銀をパロに送った。しかし彼はパロの命に従って金を送るために国に税を課し、国の民おのおのからその課税にしたがって金銀をきびしく取り立てて、それをパロ・ネコに送った。 | 23:35 Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of everyone according to his taxation, to give it to Pharaoh Necoh. | |
| 23:36エホヤキムは二十五歳で王となり、エルサレムで十一年の間、世を治めた。母はルマのペダヤの娘で、名をゼビダといった。 | 23:36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah. | |
| 23:37エホヤキムは先祖たちがすべて行ったように主の目の前に悪を行った。 | 23:37 He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that his fathers had done. | |
| 24:1エホヤキムの世にバビロンの王ネブカデネザルが上ってきたので、エホヤキムは彼に隷属して三年を経たが、ついに翻って彼にそむいた。 | 24:1 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him. | |
| 24:2主はカルデヤびとの略奪隊、スリヤびとの略奪隊、モアブびとの略奪隊、アンモンびとの略奪隊をつかわしてエホヤキムを攻められた。すなわちユダを攻め、これを滅ぼすために彼らをつかわされた。主がそのしもべである預言者たちによって語られた言葉のとおりである。 | 24:2 Yahweh sent against him bands of the Chaldeans, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke by his servants the prophets. | |
| 24:3これは全く主の命によってユダに臨んだもので、ユダを主の目の前から払い除くためであった。すなわちマナセがすべておこなったその罪のため、 | 24:3 Surely at the commandment of Yahweh came this on Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did, | |
| 24:4また彼が罪なき人の血を流し、罪なき人の血をエルサレムに満たしたためであって、主はその罪をゆるそうとはされなかった。 | 24:4 and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood: and Yahweh would not pardon. | |
| 24:5エホヤキムのその他の事績と、彼がおこなったすべての事は、ユダの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。 | 24:5 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? | |
| 24:6エホヤキムは先祖たちとともに眠り、その子エホヤキンが代って王となった。 | 24:6 So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers; and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place. | |
| 24:7エジプトの王は再びその国から出てこなかった。バビロンの王がエジプトの川からユフラテ川まで、すべてエジプトの王に属するものを取ったからである。 | 24:7 The king of Egypt didn't come again out of his land any more; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates, all that pertained to the king of Egypt. | |
| 24:8エホヤキンは王となった時十八歳で、エルサレムで三か月の間、世を治めた。母はエルサレムのエルナタンの娘で、名をネホシタといった。 | 24:8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned in Jerusalem three months: and his mother's name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem. | |
| 24:9エホヤキンはすべてその父がおこなったように主の目の前に悪を行った。 | 24:9 He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that his father had done. | |
| 24:10そのころ、バビロンの王ネブカデネザルの家来たちはエルサレムに攻め上って、町を囲んだ。 | 24:10 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged. | |
| 24:11その家来たちが町を囲んでいたとき、バビロンの王ネブカデネザルもまた町に攻めてきた。 | 24:11 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city, while his servants were besieging it; | |
| 24:12ユダの王エホヤキンはその母、その家来、そのつかさたち、および侍従たちと共に出て、バビロンの王に降服したので、バビロンの王は彼を捕虜とした。これはネブカデネザルの治世の第八年であった。 | 24:12 and Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign. | |
| 24:13彼はまた主の宮のもろもろの宝物および王の家の宝物をことごとく持ち出し、イスラエルの王ソロモンが造って主の神殿に置いたもろもろの金の器を切りこわした。主が言われたとおりである。 | 24:13 He carried out there all the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold, which Solomon king of Israel had made in Yahweh's temple, as Yahweh had said. | |
| 24:14彼はまたエルサレムのすべての市民、およびすべてのつかさとすべての勇士、ならびにすべての木工と鍛冶一万人を捕えて行った。残った者は国の民の貧しい者のみであった。 | 24:14 He carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths; none remained, except the poorest sort of the people of the land. | |
| 24:15さらに彼はエホヤキンをバビロンに捕えて行き、また王の母、王の妻たち、および侍従と国のうちのおもな人々をも、エルサレムからバビロンへ捕えて行った。 | 24:15 He carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon; and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the chief men of the land, carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. | |
| 24:16またバビロンの王はすべて勇敢な者七千人、木工と鍛冶一千人ならびに強くて良く戦う者をみな捕えてバビロンへ連れて行った。 | 24:16 All the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths one thousand, all of them strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon. | |
| 24:17そしてバビロンの王はエホヤキンの父の兄弟マッタニヤを王としてエホヤキンに代え、名をゼデキヤと改めた。 | 24:17 The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin's father's brother, king is his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah. | |
| 24:18ゼデキヤは二十一歳で王となり、エルサレムで十一年の間、世を治めた。母はリブナのエレミヤの娘で、名をハムタルといった。 | 24:18 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. | |
| 24:19ゼデキヤはすべてエホヤキムがおこなったように主の目の前に悪を行った。 | 24:19 He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. | |
| 24:20エルサレムとユダにこのような事の起ったのは主の怒りによるので、主はついに彼らをみ前から払いすてられた。さてゼデキヤはバビロンの王にそむいた。 | 24:20 For through the anger of Yahweh, it happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon. | |
| 25:1そこでゼデキヤの治世の第九年の十月十日に、バビロンの王ネブカデネザルはもろもろの軍勢を率い、エルサレムにきて、これにむかって陣を張り、周囲にとりでを築いてこれを攻めた。 | 25:1 It happened in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it around it. | |
| 25:2こうして町は囲まれて、ゼデキヤ王の第十一年にまで及んだが、 | 25:2 So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah. | |
| 25:3その四月九日になって、町のうちにききんが激しくなり、その地の民に食物がなくなった。 | 25:3 On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land. | |
| 25:4町の一角がついに破れたので、王はすべての兵士とともに、王の園のかたわらにある二つの城壁のあいだの門の道から夜のうちに逃げ出して、カルデヤびとが町を囲んでいる間に、アラバの方へ落ち延びた。 | 25:4 Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden (now the Chaldeans were against the city around it); and the king went by the way of the Arabah. | |
| 25:5しかしカルデヤびとの軍勢は王を追い、エリコの平地で彼に追いついた。彼の軍勢はみな彼を離れて散り去ったので、 | 25:5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him. | |
| 25:6カルデヤびとは王を捕え、彼をリブラにいるバビロンの王のもとへ引いていって彼の罪を定め、 | 25:6 Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment on him. | |
| 25:7ゼデキヤの子たちをゼデキヤの目の前で殺し、ゼデキヤの目をえぐり、足かせをかけてバビロンへ連れて行った。 | 25:7 They killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon. | |
| 25:8バビロンの王ネブカデネザルの第十九年の五月七日に、バビロンの王の臣、侍衛の長ネブザラダンがエルサレムにきて、 | 25:8 Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, to Jerusalem. | |
| 25:9主の宮と王の家とエルサレムのすべての家を焼いた。すなわち火をもってすべての大きな家を焼いた。 | 25:9 He burnt the house of Yahweh, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burnt he with fire. | |
| 25:10また侍衛の長と共にいたカルデヤびとのすべての軍勢はエルサレムの周囲の城壁を破壊した。 | 25:10 All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls around Jerusalem. | |
| 25:11そして侍衛の長ネブザラダンは、町に残された民およびバビロン王に降服した者と残りの群衆を捕え移した。 | 25:11 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive the residue of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude. | |
| 25:12ただし侍衛の長はその地の貧しい者を残して、ぶどうを作る者とし、農夫とした。 | 25:12 But the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to work the vineyards and fields. | |
| 25:13カルデヤびとはまた主の宮の青銅の柱と、主の宮の洗盤の台と、青銅の海を砕いて、その青銅をバビロンに運び、 | 25:13 The Chaldeans broke up the pillars of brass that were in the house of Yahweh and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the house of Yahweh, and carried the brass pieces to Babylon. | |
| 25:14またつぼと、十能と、心切りばさみと、香を盛る皿およびすべて神殿の務に用いる青銅の器、 | 25:14 They took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered. | |
| 25:15また心取り皿と鉢を取り去った。侍衛の長はまた金で作った物と銀で作った物を取り去った。 | 25:15 The captain of the guard took away the fire pans, the basins, that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver. | |
| 25:16ソロモンが主の宮のために造った二つの柱と、一つの海と洗盤の台など、これらのもろもろの器の青銅の重さは量ることができなかった。 | 25:16 The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh, the brass of all these vessels was without weight. | |
| 25:17一つの柱の高さは十八キュビトで、その上に青銅の柱頭があり、柱頭の高さは三キュビトで、柱頭の周囲に網細工とざくろがあって、みな青銅であった。他の柱もその網細工もこれと同じであった。 | 25:17 The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of brass was on it; and the height of the capital was three cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital around it, all of brass: and like to these had the second pillar with network. | |
| 25:18侍衛の長は祭司長セラヤと次席の祭司ゼパニヤと三人の門を守る者を捕え、 | 25:18 The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold: | |
| 25:19また兵士をつかさどるひとりの役人と、王の前にはべる者のうち、町で見つかった者五人と、その地の民を募った軍勢の長の書記官と、町で見つかったその地の民六十人を町から捕え去った。 | 25:19 and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and five men of those who saw the king's face, who were found in the city; and the scribe, the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the city. | |
| 25:20侍衛の長ネブザラダンは彼らを捕えて、リブラにいるバビロンの王のもとへ連れて行ったので、 | 25:20 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah. | |
| 25:21バビロンの王はハマテの地のリブラで彼らを撃ち殺した。このようにしてユダはその地から捕え移された。 | 25:21 The king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land. | |
| 25:22さてバビロンの王ネブカデネザルはユダの地に残してとどまらせた民の上に、シャパンの子アヒカムの子であるゲダリヤを立てて総督とした。 | 25:22 As for the people who were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor. | |
| 25:23時に軍勢の長たちおよびその部下の人々は、バビロンの王がゲダリヤを総督としたことを聞いて、ミヅパにいるゲダリヤのもとにきた。すなわちネタニヤの子イシマエル、カレヤの子ヨハナン、ネトパびとタンホメテの子セラヤ、マアカびとの子ヤザニヤおよびその部下の人々がゲダリヤのもとにきた。 | 25:23 Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men. | |
| 25:24ゲダリヤは彼らとその部下の人々に誓って言った、「あなたがたはカルデヤびとのしもべとなることを恐れてはならない。この地に住んで、バビロンの王に仕えなさい。そうすればあなたがたは幸福を得るでしょう」。 | 25:24 Gedaliah swore to them and to their men, and said to them, "Don't be afraid because of the servants of the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you." | |
| 25:25ところが七月になって、王の血統のエリシャマの子であるネタニヤの子イシマエルは十人の者と共にきて、ゲダリヤを撃ち殺し、また彼と共にミヅパにいたユダヤ人と、カルデヤびとを殺した。 | 25:25 But it happened in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal seed came, and ten men with him, and struck Gedaliah, so that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah. | |
| 25:26そのため、大小の民および軍勢の長たちは、みな立ってエジプトへ行った。彼らはカルデヤびとを恐れたからである。 | 25:26 All the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose, and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans. | |
| 25:27ユダの王エホヤキンが捕え移されて後三十七年の十二月二十七日、すなわちバビロンの王エビルメロダクの治世の第一年に、王はユダの王エホヤキンを獄屋から出して | 25:27 It happened in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison; | |
| 25:28ねんごろに彼を慰め、その位を彼と共にバビロンにいる王たちの位よりも高くした。 | 25:28 and he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon, | |
| 25:29こうしてエホヤキンはその獄屋の衣を脱ぎ、一生の間、常に王の前で食事した。 | 25:29 and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life: | |
| 25:30彼は一生の間、たえず日々の分を王から賜わって、その食物とした。 | 25:30 and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him of the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life. |
