| 1:1ダビデの子ソロモンはその国に自分の地位を確立した。その神、主が共にいまして彼を非常に大いなる者にされた。 | 1:1 Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and Yahweh {"Yahweh" is God's proper Name, sometimes rendered "LORD" (all caps) in other translations.} his God {The Hebrew word rendered "God" is "Elohim."} was with him, and magnified him exceedingly. | |
| 1:2ソロモンはすべてのイスラエルびと、すなわち千人の長、百人の長、さばきびとおよびイスラエルの全地のすべてのつかさ、氏族のかしらたちに告げた。 | 1:2 Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers' households. | |
| 1:3そしてソロモンとイスラエルの全会衆はともにギベオンにある高き所へ行った。主のしもべモーセが荒野で造った神の会見の幕屋がそこにあったからである。 | 1:3 So Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the Tent of Meeting of God, which Moses the servant of Yahweh had made in the wilderness. | |
| 1:4（しかし神の箱はダビデがすでにキリアテ・ヤリムから、これのために備えた所に運び上らせてあった。ダビデはさきに、エルサレムでこれのために天幕を張って置いたからである。） | 1:4 But David had brought the ark of God up from Kiriath Jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. | |
| 1:5またホルの子であるウリの子ベザレルが造った青銅の祭壇がその所の主の幕屋の前にあり、ソロモンおよび会衆は主に求めた。 | 1:5 Moreover the bronze altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of Yahweh: and Solomon and the assembly were seeking counsel there. | |
| 1:6ソロモンはそこに上って行って、会見の幕屋のうちにある主の前の青銅の祭壇に燔祭一千をささげた。 | 1:6 Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before Yahweh, which was at the Tent of Meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it. | |
| 1:7その夜、神はソロモンに現れて言われた、「あなたに何を与えようか、求めなさい」。 | 1:7 In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, "Ask what I shall give you." | |
| 1:8ソロモンは神に言った、「あなたはわたしの父ダビデに大いなるいつくしみを示し、またわたしを彼に代って王とされました。 | 1:8 Solomon said to God, "You have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his place. | |
| 1:9主なる神よ、どうぞわが父ダビデに約束された事を果してください。あなたは地のちりのような多くの民の上にわたしを立てて王とされたからです。 | 1:9 Now, Yahweh God, let your promise to David my father be established; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. | |
| 1:10この民の前に出入りすることのできるように今わたしに知恵と知識とを与えてください。だれがこのような大いなるあなたの民をさばくことができましょうか」。 | 1:10 Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this your people, that is so great?" | |
| 1:11神はソロモンに言われた、「この事があなたの心にあって、富をも、宝をも、誉をも、またあなたを憎む者の命をも求めず、また長命をも求めず、ただわたしがあなたを立てて王としたわたしの民をさばくために知恵と知識とを自分のために求めたので、 | 1:11 God said to Solomon, "Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of those who hate you, neither yet have asked long life; but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge my people, over whom I have made you king: | |
| 1:12知恵と知識とはあなたに与えられている。わたしはまたあなたの前の王たちの、まだ得たことのないほどの富と宝と誉とをあなたに与えよう。あなたの後の者も、このようなものを得ないでしょう」。 | 1:12 wisdom and knowledge is granted to you. I will give you riches, wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before you; neither shall there any after you have the like." | |
| 1:13それからソロモンはギベオンの高き所を去り、会見の幕屋の前を去って、エルサレムに帰り、イスラエルを治めた。 | 1:13 So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting, to Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel. | |
| 1:14ソロモンは戦車と騎兵とを集めたが、戦車一千四百両、騎兵一万二千人あった。ソロモンはこれを戦車の町々と、エルサレムの王のもととに置いた。 | 1:14 Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. | |
| 1:15王は銀と金を石のようにエルサレムに多くし、香柏を平野のいちじく桑のように多くした。 | 1:15 The king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance. | |
| 1:16ソロモンが馬を輸入したのはエジプトとクエからであった。すなわち王の貿易商人がクエから代価を払って受け取って来た。 | 1:16 The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and from Kue; the king's merchants purchased them from Kue. | |
| 1:17彼らはエジプトから戦車一両を銀六百シケルで輸入し、馬一頭を銀百五十で輸入した。同じようにこれらのものが彼らによってヘテびとのすべての王たち、およびスリヤの王たちにも輸出された。 | 1:17 They brought up and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Syria, they brought them out by their means. | |
| 2:1さてソロモンは主の名のために一つの宮を建て、また自分のために一つの王宮を建てようと思った。 | 2:1 Now Solomon purposed to build a house for the name of Yahweh, and a house for his kingdom. | |
| 2:2そしてソロモンは荷を負う者七万人、山で石を切り出す者八万人、これらを監督する者三千六百人を数え出した。 | 2:2 Solomon counted out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand men who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them. | |
| 2:3ソロモンはまずツロのヒラムに人をつかわして言わせた、「あなたはわたしの父ダビデに、その住むべき家を建てるために香柏を送られました。どうぞ彼にされたように、わたしにもして下さい。 | 2:3 Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, "As you dealt with David my father, and sent him cedars to build him a house in which to dwell, so deal with me. | |
| 2:4見よ、わたしはわが神、主の名のために一つの家を建て、これを聖別して彼にささげ、彼の前にこうばしい香をたき、常供のパンを供え、また燔祭を安息日、新月、およびわれらの神、主の定めの祭に朝夕ささげ、これをイスラエルのながく守るべき定めにしようとしています。 | 2:4 Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of Yahweh my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him incense of sweet spices, and for the continual show bread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts of Yahweh our God. This is an ordinance forever to Israel. | |
| 2:5またわたしの建てる家は大きな家です。われらの神はすべての神よりも大いなる神だからです。 | 2:5 "The house which I build is great; for our God is great above all gods. | |
| 2:6しかし、天も、諸天の天も彼を入れることができないのに、だれが彼のために家を建てることができましょうか。わたしは何者ですか、彼のために家を建てるというのも、ただ彼の前に香をたく所に、ほかならないのです。 | 2:6 But who is able to build him a house, since heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain him? who am I then, that I should build him a house, except just to burn incense before him? | |
| 2:7それで、どうぞ金、銀、青銅、鉄の細工および紫糸、緋糸、青糸の織物にくわしく、また彫刻の術に巧みな工人ひとりをわたしに送って、父ダビデが備えておいたユダとエルサレムのわたしの工人たちと一緒に働かせてください。 | 2:7 "Now therefore send me a man skillful to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and who knows how to engrave engravings, to be with the skillful men who are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father provided. | |
| 2:8またどうぞレバノンから香柏、いとすぎ、びゃくだんを送ってください。わたしはあなたのしもべたちがレバノンで木を切ることをよくわきまえているのを知っています。わたしのしもべたちも、あなたのしもべたちと一緒に働かせ、 | 2:8 "Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon; for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon: and behold, my servants shall be with your servants, | |
| 2:9わたしのためにたくさんの材木を備えさせてください。わたしの建てる家は非常に広大なものですから。 | 2:9 even to prepare me timber in abundance; for the house which I am about to build shall be great and wonderful. | |
| 2:10わたしは木を切るあなたのしもべたちに砕いた小麦二万コル、大麦二万コル、ぶどう酒二万バテ、油二万バテを与えます」。 | 2:10 Behold, I will give to your servants, the cutters who cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil." | |
| 2:11そこでツロの王ヒラムは手紙をソロモンに送って答えた、「主はその民を愛するゆえに、あなたを彼らの王とされました」。 | 2:11 Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, "Because Yahweh loves his people, he has made you king over them." | |
| 2:12ヒラムはまた言った、「天地を造られたイスラエルの神、主はほむべきかな。彼はダビデ王に賢い子を与え、これに分別と知恵を授けて、主のために宮を建て、また自分のために、王宮を建てることをさせられた。 | 2:12 Huram continued, "Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, endowed with discretion and understanding, that should build a house for Yahweh, and a house for his kingdom. | |
| 2:13いまわたしは達人ヒラムという知恵のある工人をつかわします。 | 2:13 Now I have sent a skillful man, endowed with understanding, of Huram my father's, | |
| 2:14彼はダンの子孫である女を母とし、ツロの人を父とし、金銀、青銅、鉄、石、木の細工および紫糸、青糸、亜麻糸、緋糸の織物にくわしく、またよくもろもろの彫刻をし、意匠を凝らしてもろもろの工作をします。彼を用いてあなたの工人およびあなたの父、わが主ダビデの工人と一緒に働かせなさい。 | 2:14 the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan; and his father was a man of Tyre, skillful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, also to engrave any kind of engraving, and to devise any device; that there may be a place appointed to him with your skillful men, and with the skillful men of my lord David your father. | |
| 2:15それでいまわが主の言われた小麦、大麦、油およびぶどう酒をそのしもべどもに送ってください。 | 2:15 "Now therefore the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, which my lord has spoken of, let him send to his servants: | |
| 2:16あなたの求められる材木はレバノンから切りだし、いかだに組んで、海からヨッパに送ります。あなたはそれをエルサレムに運び上げなさい」。 | 2:16 and we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as you shall need; and we will bring it to you in floats by sea to Joppa; and you shall carry it up to Jerusalem." | |
| 2:17そこでソロモンはその父ダビデが数えたようにイスラエルの国にいるすべての他国人を数えたが、合わせて十五万三千六百人あった。 | 2:17 Solomon numbered all the foreigners who were in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father had numbered them; and they were found one hundred fifty-three thousand six hundred. | |
| 2:18彼はその七万人を荷を負う者とし、八万人を山で木や石を切る者とし、三千六百人を民を働かせる監督者とした。 | 2:18 He set seventy thousand of them to bear burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred overseers to set the people at work. | |
| 3:1ソロモンはエルサレムのモリアの山に主の宮を建てることを始めた。そこは父ダビデに主が現れられた所、すなわちエブスびとオルナンの打ち場にダビデが備えた所である。 | 3:1 Then Solomon began to build the house of Yahweh at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where Yahweh appeared to David his father, which he prepared in the place that David had appointed, in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. | |
| 3:2ソロモンが宮を建て始めたのは、その治世の四年の二月であった。 | 3:2 He began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign. | |
| 3:3ソロモンの建てた神の宮の基の寸法は次のとおりである。すなわち昔の尺度によれば長さ六十キュビト、幅二十キュビト、 | 3:3 Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for the building of God's house. The length by cubits after the first measure was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. | |
| 3:4宮の前の廊は宮の幅に従って長さ二十キュビト高さ百二十キュビトで、その内部は純金でおおった。 | 3:4 The porch that was in front, its length, according to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and the height one hundred twenty; and he overlaid it within with pure gold. | |
| 3:5またその拝殿はいとすぎの板で張り、精金をもってこれをおおい、その上にしゅろと鎖の形を施した。 | 3:5 The greater house he made a ceiling with fir wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and ornamented it with palm trees and chains. | |
| 3:6また宝石をはめ込んで宮を飾った。その金はパルワイムの金であった。 | 3:6 He garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim. | |
| 3:7彼はまた金をもってその宮、すなわち、梁、敷居、壁および戸をおおい、壁の上にケルビムを彫りつけた。 | 3:7 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the thresholds, and its walls, and its doors, with gold; and engraved cherubim on the walls. | |
| 3:8彼はまた至聖所を造った。その長さは宮の長さにしたがって二十キュビト、幅も二十キュビトである。彼は精金六百タラントをもってこれをおおった。 | 3:8 He made the most holy house: its length, according to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and its breadth twenty cubits; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents. | |
| 3:9その釘の金の重さは五十シケルであった。彼はまた階上の室も金でおおった。 | 3:9 The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. He overlaid the upper rooms with gold. | |
| 3:10彼は至聖所に木を刻んだケルビムの像を二つ造り、これを金でおおった。 | 3:10 In the most holy house he made two cherubim of image work; and they overlaid them with gold. | |
| 3:11ケルビムの翼の長さは合わせて二十キュビトあった。すなわち一つのケルブの一つの翼は五キュビトで、宮の壁に届き、ほかの翼も五キュビトで、他のケルブの翼に届き、 | 3:11 The wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long: the wing of the one was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub. | |
| 3:12他のケルブの一つの翼も五キュビトで、宮の壁に届き、ほかの翼も五キュビトで、先のケルブの翼に接していた。 | 3:12 The wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was five cubits, joining to the wing of the other cherub. | |
| 3:13これらのケルビムの翼は広げると二十キュビトあった。かれらは共に足で立ち、その顔は拝殿に向かっていた。 | 3:13 The wings of these cherubim spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were toward the house. | |
| 3:14ソロモンはまた青糸、紫糸、緋糸および亜麻糸で垂幕を造り、その上にケルビムの縫い取りを施した。 | 3:14 He made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and ornamented it with cherubim. | |
| 3:15彼は宮の前に柱を二本造った。その高さは三十五キュビト、おのおのの柱の頂に五キュビトの柱頭を造った。 | 3:15 Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty-five cubits high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits. | |
| 3:16彼は首飾のような鎖を造って、柱の頂につけ、ざくろ百を造ってその鎖の上につけた。 | 3:16 He made chains in the oracle, and put them on the tops of the pillars; and he made one hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains. | |
| 3:17彼はこの柱を神殿の前に、一本を南の方に、一本を北の方に立て、南の方のをヤキンと名づけ、北の方のをボアズと名づけた。 | 3:17 He set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz. | |
| 4:1ソロモンはまた青銅の祭壇を造った。その長さ二十キュビト、幅二十キュビト、高さ十キュビトである。 | 4:1 Then he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits its length, and twenty cubits its breadth, and ten cubits its height. | |
| 4:2彼はまた海を鋳て造った。縁から縁まで十キュビトであって、周囲は円形をなし、高さ五キュビトで、その周囲は綱をもって測ると三十キュビトあった。 | 4:2 Also he made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass; and its height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits encircled it. | |
| 4:3海の下には三十キュビトの周囲をめぐるひさごの形があって、海の周囲を囲んでいた。そのひさごは二並びで、海を鋳る時に鋳たものである。 | 4:3 Under it was the likeness of oxen, which encircled it, for ten cubits, encircling the sea. The oxen were in two rows, cast when it was cast. | |
| 4:4その海は十二の牛の上に置かれ、その三つは北に向かい、三つは西に向かい、三つは南に向かい、三つは東に向かっていた。海はその上に置かれ、牛のうしろはみな内に向かっていた。 | 4:4 It stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set on them above, and all their hinder parts were inward. | |
| 4:5海の厚さは手の幅で、その縁は杯の縁のように、ゆりの花に似せて造られた。海には水を三千バテ入れることができた。 | 4:5 It was a handbreadth thick; and its brim was worked like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it received and held three thousand baths. | |
| 4:6彼はまた物を洗うために洗盤十個を造って、五個を南側に、五個を北側に置いた。その中で燔祭に用いるものを洗った。しかし海は祭司がその中で身を洗うためであった。 | 4:6 He made also ten basins, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them; such things as belonged to the burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in. | |
| 4:7彼はまた金の燭台十個をその定めに従って造り、拝殿の中の南側に五個、北側に五個を置き、 | 4:7 He made the ten lampstands of gold according to the ordinance concerning them; and he set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left. | |
| 4:8また机十個を造り、神殿の中の南側に五個、北側に五個を置き、また金の鉢百を造った。 | 4:8 He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. He made one hundred basins of gold. | |
| 4:9彼はまた祭司の庭と大庭および庭の戸を造り、その戸を青銅でおおった。 | 4:9 Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid their doors with brass. | |
| 4:10彼は海を宮の東南のすみにすえた。 | 4:10 He set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south. | |
| 4:11ヒラムはまたつぼと十能と鉢とを造った。こうしてヒラムはソロモン王のため、神の宮の工事を終えた。 | 4:11 Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. So Huram made an end of doing the work that he did for king Solomon in God's house: | |
| 4:12すなわち二本の柱と玉と、柱の頂にある二つの柱頭と、柱の頂にある柱頭の二つの玉をおおう二つの網細工と、 | 4:12 the two pillars, and the bowls, and the two capitals which were on the top of the pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars, | |
| 4:13その二つの網細工のためのざくろ四百、このざくろはおのおの網細工に二並びにつけて、柱の頂にある柱頭の二つの玉を巻いていた。 | 4:13 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars. | |
| 4:14彼はまた台と台の上の洗盤と、 | 4:14 He made also the bases, and the basins made he on the bases; | |
| 4:15一つの海とその下の十二の牛を造った。 | 4:15 one sea, and the twelve oxen under it. | |
| 4:16つぼ、十能、肉さしなどすべてこれらの器物を、達人ヒラムはソロモン王のため、主の宮のために、光のある青銅で造った。 | 4:16 Huram his father also made the pots, the shovels, the forks, and all its vessels for king Solomon for the house of Yahweh of bright brass. | |
| 4:17王はヨルダンの低地で、スコテとゼレダの間の粘土の地でこれを鋳た。 | 4:17 The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah. | |
| 4:18このようにソロモンはこれらのすべての器物を非常に多く造ったので、その青銅の重量は、量ることができなかった。 | 4:18 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out. | |
| 4:19こうしてソロモンは神の宮のすべての器物を造った。すなわち金の祭壇と、供えのパンを載せる机、 | 4:19 Solomon made all the vessels that were in God's house, the golden altar also, and the tables with the show bread on them; | |
| 4:20また定めのように本殿の前で火をともす純金の燭台と、そのともしび皿を造った。 | 4:20 and the lampstands with their lamps, to burn according to the ordinance before the oracle, of pure gold; | |
| 4:21その花、ともしび皿、心かきは精金であった。 | 4:21 and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold, and that perfect gold; | |
| 4:22また心切りばさみ、鉢、香の杯、心取り皿は純金であった。また宮の戸、すなわち至聖所の内部の戸および拝殿の戸のひじつぼは金であった。 | 4:22 and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the fire pans, of pure gold: and as for the entry of the house, the inner doors of it for the most holy place, and the doors of the main hall of the temple were of gold. | |
| 5:1こうしてソロモンは主の宮のためにしたすべての工事を終った。そしてソロモンは父ダビデがささげた物、すなわち金銀およびもろもろの器物を携えて行って神の宮の宝蔵に納めた。 | 5:1 Thus all the work that Solomon did for the house of Yahweh was finished. Solomon brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, even the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of God. | |
| 5:2ソロモンは主の契約の箱をダビデの町シオンからかつぎ上ろうとして、イスラエルの長老たちと、すべての部族のかしらたちと、イスラエルの人々の氏族の長たちをエルサレムに召し集めた。 | 5:2 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers' households of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh out of the city of David, which is Zion. | |
| 5:3イスラエルの人々は皆七月の祭に王のもとに集まった。 | 5:3 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month. | |
| 5:4イスラエルの長老たちが皆きたので、レビびとたちは箱を取り上げた。 | 5:4 All the elders of Israel came: and the Levites took up the ark; | |
| 5:5彼らは箱と、会見の幕屋と、幕屋にあるすべて聖なる器をかつぎ上った。すなわち祭司とレビびとがこれらの物をかつぎ上った。 | 5:5 and they brought up the ark, and the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; these the priests the Levites brought up. | |
| 5:6ソロモン王および彼のもとに集まったイスラエルの会衆は皆箱の前で羊と牛をささげたが、その数が多くて、調べることも数えることもできなかった。 | 5:6 King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled to him, were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude. | |
| 5:7こうして祭司たちは主の契約の箱をその場所にかつぎ入れ、宮の本殿である至聖所のうちのケルビムの翼の下に置いた。 | 5:7 The priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim. | |
| 5:8ケルビムは翼を箱の所の上に伸べていたので、ケルビムは上から箱とそのさおをおおった。 | 5:8 For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above. | |
| 5:9さおは長かったので、さおの端が本殿の前の聖所から見えた。しかし外部には見えなかった。さおは今日までそこにある。 | 5:9 The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen outside: and there it is to this day. | |
| 5:10箱の内には二枚の板のほか何もなかった。これはイスラエルの人々がエジプトから出て来たとき、主が彼らと契約を結ばれ、モーセがホレブでそれを納めたものである。 | 5:10 There was nothing in the ark except the two tables which Moses put at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt. | |
| 5:11そして祭司たちが聖所から出たとき（ここにいた祭司たちは皆、その組の順にかかわらず身を清めた。 | 5:11 It happened, when the priests had come out of the holy place, (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, and didn't keep their divisions; | |
| 5:12またレビびとの歌うたう者、すなわちアサフ、ヘマン、エドトンおよび彼らの子たちと兄弟たちはみな亜麻布を着、シンバルと、立琴と、琴をとって祭壇の東に立ち、百二十人の祭司は彼らと一緒に立ってラッパを吹いた。 | 5:12 also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brothers, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them one hundred twenty priests sounding with trumpets;) | |
| 5:13ラッパ吹く者と歌うたう者とは、ひとりのように声を合わせて主をほめ、感謝した）、そして彼らがラッパと、シンバルとその他の楽器をもって声をふりあげ、主をほめて「主は恵みあり、そのあわれみはとこしえに絶えることがない」と言ったとき、雲はその宮すなわち主の宮に満ちた。 | 5:13 it happened, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Yahweh; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised Yahweh, saying, "For he is good; for his loving kindness endures forever!" that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of Yahweh, | |
| 5:14祭司たちは雲のゆえに立って勤めをすることができなかった。主の栄光が神の宮に満ちたからである。 | 5:14 so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of Yahweh filled God's house. | |
| 6:1そこでソロモンは言った、「主はみずから濃き雲の中に住まおうと言われた。 | 6:1 Then Solomon said, "Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. | |
| 6:2しかしわたしはあなたのために高き家、とこしえのみすまいを建てた」。 | 6:2 But I have built you a house of habitation, and a place for you to dwell in forever." | |
| 6:3そして王は顔をふり向けてイスラエルの全会衆を祝福した。その時イスラエルの全会衆は立っていた。 | 6:3 The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood. | |
| 6:4彼は言った、「イスラエルの神、主はほむべきかな。主は口をもってわが父ダビデに約束されたことを、その手をもってなし遂げられた。すなわち主は言われた、 | 6:4 He said, "Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hands fulfilled it, saying, | |
| 6:5『わが民をエジプトの地から導き出した日から、わたしはわが名を置くべき家を建てるために、イスラエルのもろもろの部族のうちから、どの町をも選んだことがなく、また他のだれをもわが民イスラエルの君として選んだことがない。 | 6:5 'Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be prince over my people Israel: | |
| 6:6わが名を置くために、ただエルサレムだけを選び、またわが民イスラエルを治めさせるために、ただダビデだけを選んだ』。 | 6:6 but I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.' | |
| 6:7イスラエルの神、主の名のために家を建てることは、父ダビデの心にあった。 | 6:7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel. | |
| 6:8しかし主は父ダビデに言われた、『わたしの名のために家を建てることはあなたの心にあった。あなたの心にこの事のあったのは結構である。 | 6:8 But Yahweh said to David my father, 'Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart: | |
| 6:9しかしあなたはその家を建ててはならない。あなたの腰から出るあなたの子がわたしの名のために家を建てるであろう』。 | 6:9 nevertheless you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come forth out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.' | |
| 6:10そして主はそう言われた言葉を行われた。すなわちわたしは父ダビデに代って立ち、主が言われたように、イスラエルの位に座し、イスラエルの神、主の名のために家を建てた。 | 6:10 "Yahweh has performed his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised, and have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel. | |
| 6:11わたしはまた、主がイスラエルの人々と結ばれた主の契約を入れた箱をそこに納めた」。 | 6:11 There I have set the ark, in which is the covenant of Yahweh, which he made with the children of Israel." | |
| 6:12ソロモンはイスラエルの全会衆の前、主の祭壇の前に立って、手を伸べた。 | 6:12 He stood before the altar of Yahweh in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands | |
| 6:13ソロモンはさきに長さ五キュビト、幅五キュビト、高さ三キュビトの青銅の台を造って、庭のまん中にすえて置いたので、彼はその上に立ち、イスラエルの全会衆の前でひざをかがめ、その手を天に伸べて、 | 6:13 (for Solomon had made a bronze scaffold, five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and on it he stood, and kneeled down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven;) | |
| 6:14言った、「イスラエルの神、主よ、天にも地にも、あなたのような神はありません。あなたは契約を守られ、心をつくしてあなたの前に歩むあなたのしもべらに、いつくしみを施し、 | 6:14 and he said, "Yahweh, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven, or on earth; you who keep covenant and loving kindness with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart; | |
| 6:15あなたのしもべ、わたしの父ダビデに約束されたことを守られました。あなたが口をもって約束されたことを、手をもってなし遂げられたことは、今日見るとおりであります。 | 6:15 who have kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him: yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day. | |
| 6:16それゆえ、イスラエルの神、主よ、あなたのしもべ、わたしの父ダビデに、あなたが約束して、『おまえがわたしの前に歩んだように、おまえの子孫がその道を慎んで、わたしのおきてに歩むならば、おまえにはイスラエルの位に座する人がわたしの前に欠けることはない』と言われたことを、ダビデのためにお守りください。 | 6:16 "Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, 'There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk in my law as you have walked before me.' | |
| 6:17それゆえ、イスラエルの神、主よ、どうぞ、あなたのしもべダビデに言われた言葉を確認してください。 | 6:17 Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David. | |
| 6:18しかし神は、はたして人と共に地上に住まわれるでしょうか。見よ、天も、いと高き天もあなたをいれることはできません。わたしの建てたこの家などなおさらです。 | 6:18 "But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain you; how much less this house which I have built! | |
| 6:19しかしわが神、主よ、しもべの祈と願いを顧みて、しもべがあなたの前にささげる叫びと祈をお聞きください。 | 6:19 Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant, and to his supplication, Yahweh my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you; | |
| 6:20どうぞ、あなたの目を昼も夜もこの家に、すなわち、あなたの名をそこに置くと言われた所に向かってお開きください。どうぞ、しもべがこの所に向かってささげる祈をお聞きください。 | 6:20 that your eyes may be open toward this house day and night, even toward the place where you have said that you would put your name; to listen to the prayer which your servant shall pray toward this place. | |
| 6:21どうぞ、しもべと、あなたの民イスラエルがこの所に向かって祈る時に、その願いをお聞きください。あなたのすみかである天から聞き、聞いておゆるしください。 | 6:21 Listen to the petitions of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: yes, hear from your dwelling place, even from heaven; and when you hear, forgive. | |
| 6:22もし人がその隣り人に対して罪を犯し、誓いをすることを求められるとき、来てこの宮で、あなたの祭壇の前に誓うならば、 | 6:22 "If a man sin against his neighbor, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before your altar in this house; | |
| 6:23あなたは天から聞いて、行い、あなたのしもべらをさばき、悪人に報いをなして、その行いの報いをそのこうべに帰し、義人を義として、その義にしたがってその人に報いてください。 | 6:23 then hear from heaven, and do, and judge your servants, bringing retribution to the wicked, to bring his way on his own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness. | |
| 6:24もしあなたの民イスラエルが、あなたに対して罪を犯したために、敵の前に敗れた時、あなたに立ち返って、あなたの名をあがめ、この宮であなたの前に祈り願うならば、 | 6:24 "If your people Israel be struck down before the enemy, because they have sinned against you, and shall turn again and confess your name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house; | |
| 6:25あなたは天から聞き、あなたの民イスラエルの罪をゆるして、あなたが彼らとその先祖に与えられた地に彼らを帰らせてください。 | 6:25 then hear from heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to them and to their fathers. | |
| 6:26もし彼らがあなたに罪を犯したために、天が閉ざされて、雨がなく、あなたが彼らを苦しめられるとき、彼らがこの所に向かって祈り、あなたの名をあがめ、その罪を離れるならば、 | 6:26 "When the sky is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; if they pray toward this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you afflict them: | |
| 6:27あなたは天にあって聞き、あなたのしもべ、あなたの民イスラエルの罪をゆるして、彼らに歩むべき良い道を教え、あなたの民に嗣業として賜わった地に雨を降らせてください。 | 6:27 then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance. | |
| 6:28もし国にききんがあるか、もしくは疫病、立ち枯れ、腐り穂、いなご、青虫があるか、または敵のために町の門の中に攻め囲まれることがあるか、どんな災害、どんな病気があっても、 | 6:28 "If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is; | |
| 6:29もし、ひとりか、あるいはあなたの民イスラエルが皆おのおのその心の悩みを知って、この宮に向かい、手を伸べるならば、どんな祈、どんな願いでも、 | 6:29 whatever prayer and supplication be made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who shall know every man his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house: | |
| 6:30あなたはそのすみかである天から聞いてゆるし、おのおのの人に、その心を知っておられるゆえ、そのすべての道にしたがって報いてください。ただあなただけがすべての人の心を知っておられるからです。 | 6:30 then hear from heaven, your dwelling place and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know; (for you, even you only, know the hearts of the children of men;) | |
| 6:31あなたがわれわれの先祖たちに賜わった地に、彼らの生きながらえる日の間、常にあなたを恐れさせ、あなたの道に歩ませてください。 | 6:31 that they may fear you, to walk in your ways, so long as they live in the land which you gave to our fathers. | |
| 6:32またあなたの民イスラエルの者でなく、他国人で、あなたの大いなる名と、強い手と、伸べた腕のために遠い国から来て、この宮に向かって祈るならば、 | 6:32 "Moreover concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he shall come from a far country for your great name's sake, and your mighty hand, and your outstretched arm; when they shall come and pray toward this house: | |
| 6:33あなたは、あなたのすみかである天から聞き、すべて他国人があなたに呼び求めるようにしてください。そうすれば地のすべての民はあなたの民イスラエルのように、あなたの名を知り、あなたを恐れ、またわたしが建てたこの宮が、あなたの名によって呼ばれることを知るにいたるでしょう。 | 6:33 then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, and fear you, as does your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name. | |
| 6:34あなたの民が敵と戦うために、あなたがつかわされる道によって出るとき、もし彼らがあなたの選ばれたこの町と、わたしがあなたの名のために建てたこの宮に向かってあなたに祈るならば、 | 6:34 "If your people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to you toward this city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name; | |
| 6:35あなたは天から彼らの祈と願いとを聞いて彼らをお助けください。 | 6:35 then hear from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause. | |
| 6:36彼らがあなたに対して罪を犯すことがあって、 罪を犯さない人はないゆえ、 あなたが彼らを怒って、敵にわたし、敵が彼らを捕虜として遠い地あるいは近い地に引いて行くとき、 | 6:36 "If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn't sin), and you are angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to a land far off or near; | |
| 6:37もし、彼らが捕われて行った地で、みずから省みて悔い、その捕われの地であなたに願い、『われわれは罪を犯し、よこしまな事をし、悪を行いました』と言い、 | 6:37 yet if they shall repent themselves in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of their captivity, saying, 'We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have dealt wickedly;' | |
| 6:38その捕われの地で心をつくし、精神をつくしてあなたに立ち返り、あなたが彼らの先祖に与えられた地、あなたが選ばれた町、わたしがあなたの名のために建てたこの宮に向かって祈るならば、 | 6:38 if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have carried them captive, and pray toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, and the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name: | |
| 6:39あなたのすみかである天から、彼らの祈と願いとを聞いて彼らを助け、あなたに向かって罪を犯したあなたの民をおゆるしください。 | 6:39 then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, their prayer and their petitions, and maintain their cause, and forgive your people who have sinned against you. | |
| 6:40わが神よ、どうぞ、この所でささげる祈にあなたの目を開き、あなたの耳を傾けてください。 | 6:40 "Now, my God, let, I beg you, your eyes be open, and let your ears be attentive, to the prayer that is made in this place. | |
| 6:41主なる神よ、今あなたと、あなたの力の箱が立って、あなたの安息所におはいりください。主なる神よ、どうぞあなたの祭司たちに救の衣を着せ、あなたの聖徒たちに恵みを喜ばせてください。 | 6:41 "Now therefore arise, Yahweh God, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength: let your priests, Yahweh God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in goodness. | |
| 6:42主なる神よ、どうぞあなたの油そそがれた者の顔を退けないでください。あなたのしもべダビデに示されたいつくしみを覚えて下さい」。 | 6:42 "Yahweh God, don't turn away the face of your anointed. Remember your loving kindnesses to David your servant." | |
| 7:1ソロモンが祈り終ったとき、天から火が下って燔祭と犠牲を焼き、主の栄光が宮に満ちた。 | 7:1 Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of Yahweh filled the house. | |
| 7:2主の栄光が主の宮に満ちたので、祭司たちは主の宮に、はいることができなかった。 | 7:2 The priests could not enter into the house of Yahweh, because the glory of Yahweh filled Yahweh's house. | |
| 7:3イスラエルの人々はみな火が下ったのを見、また主の栄光が宮に臨んだのを見て、敷石の上で地にひれ伏して拝し、主に感謝して言った、「主は恵みふかく、そのいつくしみはとこしえに絶えることがない」。 | 7:3 All the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and the glory of Yahweh was on the house; and they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped, and gave thanks to Yahweh, saying, "For he is good; for his loving kindness endures for ever." | |
| 7:4そして王と民は皆主の前に犠牲をささげた。 | 7:4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifice before Yahweh. | |
| 7:5ソロモン王のささげた犠牲は、牛二万二千頭、羊十二万頭であった。こうして王と民は皆神の宮をささげた。 | 7:5 King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand head of cattle, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated God's house. | |
| 7:6祭司はその持ち場に立ち、レビびとも主の楽器をとって立った。その楽器はダビデ王が主に感謝するために造ったもので、ダビデが彼らの手によってさんびをささげるとき、「そのいつくしみは、とこしえに絶えることがない」ととなえさせたものである。祭司は彼らの前でラッパを吹き、すべてのイスラエルびとは立っていた。 | 7:6 The priests stood, according to their positions; the Levites also with instruments of music of Yahweh, which David the king had made to give thanks to Yahweh, when David praised by their ministry, saying "For his loving kindness endures for ever." The priests sounded trumpets before them; and all Israel stood. | |
| 7:7ソロモンはまた主の宮の前にある庭の中を聖別し、その所で、燔祭と酬恩祭のあぶらをささげた。これはソロモンが造った青銅の祭壇が、その燔祭と素祭とあぶらとを載せるに足りなかったからである。 | 7:7 Moreover Solomon made the middle of the court holy that was before the house of Yahweh; for there he offered the burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat. | |
| 7:8その時ソロモンは七日の間祭を行った。ハマテの入口からエジプトの川に至るまでのすべてのイスラエルびとが彼と共にあり、非常に大きな会衆であった。 | 7:8 So Solomon held the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt. | |
| 7:9そして八日目に聖会を開いた。彼らは七日の間、祭壇奉献の礼を行い、七日の間祭を行ったが、 | 7:9 On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days. | |
| 7:10七月二十三日に至ってソロモンは民をその天幕に帰らせた。皆主がダビデ、ソロモンおよびその民イスラエルに施された恵みのために喜び、かつ心に楽しんで去った。 | 7:10 On the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that Yahweh had shown to David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people. | |
| 7:11こうしてソロモンは主の家と王の家とを造り終えた。すなわち彼は主の家と自分の家について、しようと計画したすべての事を首尾よくなし遂げた。 | 7:11 Thus Solomon finished the house of Yahweh, and the king's house: and he successfully completed all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of Yahweh, and in his own house. | |
| 7:12時に主は夜ソロモンに現れて言われた、「わたしはあなたの祈を聞き、この所をわたしのために選んで、犠牲をささげる家とした。 | 7:12 Yahweh appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, "I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice. | |
| 7:13わたしが天を閉じて雨をなくし、またはわたしがいなごに命じて地の物を食わせ、または疫病を民の中に送るとき、 | 7:13 "If I shut up the sky so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; | |
| 7:14わたしの名をもってとなえられるわたしの民が、もしへりくだり、祈って、わたしの顔を求め、その悪い道を離れるならば、わたしは天から聞いて、その罪をゆるし、その地をいやす。 | 7:14 if my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. | |
| 7:15今この所にささげられる祈にわたしの目を開き、耳を傾ける。 | 7:15 Now my eyes shall be open, and my ears attentive, to the prayer that is made in this place. | |
| 7:16今わたしはわたしの名をながくここにとどめるために、この宮を選び、かつ聖別した。わたしの目とわたしの心は常にここにある。 | 7:16 For now have I chosen and made this house holy, that my name may be there forever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually. | |
| 7:17あなたがもし父ダビデの歩んだようにわたしの前に歩み、わたしが命じたとおりにすべて行って、わたしの定めとおきてとを守るならば、 | 7:17 "As for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances; | |
| 7:18わたしはあなたの父ダビデに契約して『イスラエルを治める人はあなたに欠けることがない』と言ったとおりに、あなたの王の位を堅くする。 | 7:18 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, according as I covenanted with David your father, saying, 'There shall not fail you a man to be ruler in Israel.' | |
| 7:19しかし、あなたがたがもし翻って、わたしがあなたがたの前に置いた定めと戒めとを捨て、行って他の神々に仕え、それを拝むならば、 | 7:19 But if you turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them; | |
| 7:20わたしはあなたがたをわたしの与えた地から抜き去り、またわたしの名のために聖別したこの宮をわたしの前から投げ捨てて、もろもろの民のうちにことわざとし、笑い草とする。 | 7:20 then I will pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples. | |
| 7:21またこの宮は高いけれども、ついには、そのかたわらを過ぎる者は皆驚いて、『何ゆえ主はこの地と、この宮とにこのようにされたのか』と言うであろう。 | 7:21 This house, which is so high, everyone who passes by it shall be astonished, and shall say, 'Why has Yahweh done thus to this land, and to this house?' | |
| 7:22その時、人々は答えて『彼らはその先祖たちをエジプトの地から導き出した彼らの神、主を捨てて、他の神々につき従い、それを拝み、それに仕えたために、主はこのすべての災を彼らの上に下したのである』と言うであろう」。 | 7:22 They shall answer, 'Because they abandoned Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and took other gods, worshiped them, and served them. Therefore he has brought all this evil on them.'" | |
| 8:1ソロモンは二十年を経て、主の家と自分の家とを建て終った。 | 8:1 It happened at the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the house of Yahweh, and his own house, | |
| 8:2またソロモンはヒラムから送られた町々を建て直して、そこにイスラエルの人々を住ませた。 | 8:2 that the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there. | |
| 8:3ソロモンはまたハマテ・ゾバを攻めて、これを取った。 | 8:3 Solomon went to Hamath Zobah, and prevailed against it. | |
| 8:4彼はまた荒野にタデモルを建て、もろもろの倉の町をハマテに建てた。 | 8:4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the storage cities, which he built in Hamath. | |
| 8:5また城壁、門、貫の木のある堅固な町、上ベテホロンと下ベテホロンを建てた。 | 8:5 Also he built Beth Horon the upper, and Beth Horon the lower, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars; | |
| 8:6ソロモンはまたバアラテと自分のもっていたすべての倉の町と、すべての戦車の町と、騎兵の町、ならびにエルサレム、レバノンおよび自分の治める全地方に建てようと望んだものを、ことごとく建てた。 | 8:6 and Baalath, and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion. | |
| 8:7すべてイスラエルの子孫でないヘテびと、アモリびと、ペリジびと、ヒビびと、エブスびとの残った民、 | 8:7 As for all the people who were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel; | |
| 8:8その地にあって彼らのあとに残ったその子孫、すなわちイスラエルの子孫が滅ぼし尽さなかった民に、ソロモンは強制徴募をおこなって今日に及んでいる。 | 8:8 of their children who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel didn't consume, of them Solomon conscripted forced labor to this day. | |
| 8:9しかし、イスラエルの人々をソロモンはその工事のためには、ひとりも奴隷としなかった。彼らは兵士となり、将校となり、戦車と、騎兵の長となった。 | 8:9 But of the children of Israel, Solomon made no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen. | |
| 8:10これらはソロモン王のおもな官吏で、二百五十人あり、民を治めた。 | 8:10 These were the chief officers of king Solomon, even two-hundred fifty, who ruled over the people. | |
| 8:11ソロモンはパロの娘をダビデの町から連れ上って、彼女のために建てた家に入れて言った、「主の箱を迎えた所は神聖であるから、わたしの妻はイスラエルの王ダビデの家に住んではならない」。 | 8:11 Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David to the house that he had built for her; for he said, "My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places where the ark of Yahweh has come are holy." | |
| 8:12ソロモンは廊の前に築いておいた主の祭壇の上で主に燔祭をささげた。 | 8:12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar of Yahweh, which he had built before the porch, | |
| 8:13すなわちモーセの命令に従って、毎日定めのようにささげ、安息日、新月および年に三度の祭、すなわち種入れぬパンの祭、七週の祭、仮庵の祭にこれをささげた。 | 8:13 even as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts, three times in the year, in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tents. | |
| 8:14ソロモンは、その父ダビデのおきてに従って、祭司の組を定めてその職に任じ、またレビびとをその勤めに任じて、毎日定めのように祭司の前でさんびと奉仕をさせ、また門を守る者に、その組にしたがって、もろもろの門を守らせた。これは神の人ダビデがこのように命じたからである。 | 8:14 He appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the divisions of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their offices, to praise, and to minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required; the doorkeepers also by their divisions at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded. | |
| 8:15祭司とレビびとはすべての事につき、また倉の事について、王の命令にそむかなかった。 | 8:15 They didn't depart from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures. | |
| 8:16このようにソロモンは、主の宮の基をすえた日からこれをなし終えたときまで、その工事の準備をことごとくなしたので、主の宮は完成した。 | 8:16 Now all the work of Solomon was prepared to the day of the foundation of the house of Yahweh, and until it was finished. So the house of Yahweh was completed. | |
| 8:17それからソロモンはエドムの地の海べにあるエジオン・ゲベルおよびエロテへ行った。 | 8:17 Then went Solomon to Ezion Geber, and to Eloth, on the seashore in the land of Edom. | |
| 8:18時にヒラムはそのしもべどもの手によって船団を彼に送り、また海の事になれたしもべどもをつかわしたので、彼らはソロモンのしもべらと共にオフルへ行き、そこから金四百五十タラントを取って、これをソロモン王のもとに携えてきた。 | 8:18 Huram sent him ships and servants who had knowledge of the sea by the hands of his servants; and they came with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and fetched from there four hundred fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon. | |
| 9:1シバの女王はソロモンの名声を聞いたので、難問をもってソロモンを試みようと、非常に多くの従者を連れ、香料と非常にたくさんの金と宝石とをらくだに負わせて、エルサレムのソロモンのもとに来て、その心にあることをことごとく彼に告げた。 | 9:1 When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great train, and camels that bore spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him of all that was in her heart. | |
| 9:2ソロモンは彼女のすべての問に答えた。ソロモンが知らないで彼女に説明のできないことは一つもなかった。 | 9:2 Solomon told her all her questions; and there was not anything hidden from Solomon which he didn't tell her. | |
| 9:3シバの女王はソロモンの知恵と、彼が建てた家を見、 | 9:3 When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built, | |
| 9:4またその食卓の食物と、列座の家来たちと、その侍臣たちの伺候振りと彼らの服装、および彼の給仕たちとその服装、ならびに彼が主の宮でささげる燔祭を見て、全く気を奪われてしまった。 | 9:4 and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their clothing, his cup bearers also, and their clothing, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of Yahweh; there was no more spirit in her. | |
| 9:5彼女は王に言った、「わたしが国であなたの事と、あなたの知恵について聞いたうわさは真実でした。 | 9:5 She said to the king, "It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts, and of your wisdom. | |
| 9:6しかしわたしは来て目に見るまでは、そのうわさを信じませんでしたが、今見ると、あなたの知恵の大いなることはその半分もわたしに知らされませんでした。あなたはわたしの聞いたうわさにまさっています。 | 9:6 However I didn't believe their words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it; and behold, the half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me: you exceed the fame that I heard. | |
| 9:7あなたの奥方たちはさいわいです。常にあなたの前に立って、あなたの知恵を聞くこのあなたの家来たちはさいわいです。 | 9:7 Happy are your men, and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you, and hear your wisdom. | |
| 9:8あなたの神、主はほむべきかな。主はあなたを喜び、あなたをその位につかせ、あなたの神、主のために王とされました。あなたの神はイスラエルを愛して、とこしえにこれを堅くするために、あなたをその王とされ、公道と正義を行われるのです」。 | 9:8 Blessed be Yahweh your God, who delighted in you, to set you on his throne, to be king for Yahweh your God: because your God loved Israel, to establish them forever, therefore made he you king over them, to do justice and righteousness." | |
| 9:9そして彼女は金百二十タラント、および非常に多くの香料と宝石とを王に贈った。シバの女王がソロモンに贈ったような香料は、いまだかつてなかった。 | 9:9 She gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon. | |
| 9:10オフルから金を携えて来たヒラムのしもべたちとソロモンのしもべたちはまた、びゃくだんの木と宝石をも携えて来た。 | 9:10 The servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones. | |
| 9:11王はそのびゃくだんの木で、主の宮と王の家とに階段を造り、また歌うたう者のために琴と立琴を造った。このようなものはかつてユダの地で見たことがなかった。 | 9:11 The king made of the algum trees terraces for the house of Yahweh, and for the king's house, and harps and stringed instruments for the singers: and there were none like these seen before in the land of Judah. | |
| 9:12ソロモン王は、シバの女王が贈った物に報いたほかに、彼女の望みにまかせて、すべてその求めるものを贈った。そして彼女はその家来たちと共に自分の国へ帰って行った。 | 9:12 King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides that which she had brought to the king. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants. | |
| 9:13さて一年の間にソロモンの所にはいって来た金の目方は六百六十六タラントであった。 | 9:13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold, | |
| 9:14このほかに貿易商および商人の携えて来たものがあった。またアラビヤのすべての王たちおよび国の代官たちも金銀をソロモンに携えてきた。 | 9:14 besides that which the traders and merchants brought: and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon. | |
| 9:15ソロモン王は延金の大盾二百を造った。その大盾にはおのおの六百シケルの延金を用いた。 | 9:15 King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one buckler. | |
| 9:16また延金の小盾三百を造った。小盾にはおのおの三百シケルの金を用いた。王はこれらをレバノンの森の家に置いた。 | 9:16 He made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. | |
| 9:17王はまた大きな象牙の玉座を造り、純金でこれをおおった。 | 9:17 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold. | |
| 9:18その玉座には六つの段があり、また金の足台があって共に玉座につらなり、その座する所の両方に、ひじかけがあって、ひじかけのわきに二つのししが立っていた。 | 9:18 And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays. | |
| 9:19また十二のししが六つの段のおのおのの両側に立っていた。このような物はどこの国でも造られたことがなかった。 | 9:19 Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps: there was nothing like it made in any kingdom. | |
| 9:20ソロモン王が飲むときに用いた器はみな金であった。またレバノンの森の家の器もみな純金であって、銀はソロモンの世には尊ばれなかった。 | 9:20 All king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: silver was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon. | |
| 9:21これは王の船がヒラムのしもべたちを乗せてタルシシへ行き、三年ごとに一度、そのタルシシの船が金、銀、象牙、さる、くじゃくを載せて来たからである。 | 9:21 For the king had ships that went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram; once every three years came the ships of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks. | |
| 9:22このようにソロモン王は富と知恵において、地のすべての王にまさっていたので、 | 9:22 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom. | |
| 9:23地のすべての王は神がソロモンの心に授けられた知恵を聞こうとしてソロモンに謁見を求めた。 | 9:23 All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. | |
| 9:24人々はおのおの贈り物を携えてきた。すなわち銀の器、金の器、衣服、没薬、香料、馬、騾馬など年々定まっていた。 | 9:24 They brought every man his tribute, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing, armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year. | |
| 9:25ソロモンは馬と戦車のために馬屋四千と騎兵一万二千を持ち、これを戦車の町に置き、またエルサレムの王のもとに置いた。 | 9:25 Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he stationed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. | |
| 9:26彼はユフラテ川からペリシテびとの地と、エジプトの境に至るまでのすべての王を治めた。 | 9:26 He ruled over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt. | |
| 9:27王はまた銀を石のようにエルサレムに多くし、香柏を平野のいちじく桑のように多くした。 | 9:27 The king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance. | |
| 9:28また人々はエジプトおよび諸国から馬をソロモンのために輸入した。 | 9:28 They brought horses for Solomon out of Egypt, and out of all lands. | |
| 9:29ソロモンのそのほかの始終の行為は、預言者ナタンの書と、シロびとアヒヤの預言と、先見者イドがネバテの子ヤラベアムについて述べた黙示のなかに、しるされているではないか。 | 9:29 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, aren't they written in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat? | |
| 9:30ソロモンはエルサレムで四十年の間イスラエルの全地を治めた。 | 9:30 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. | |
| 9:31ソロモンはその先祖たちと共に眠って、父ダビデの町に葬られ、その子レハベアムが代って王となった。 | 9:31 Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place. | |
| 10:1レハベアムはシケムへ行った。すべてのイスラエルびとが彼を王にしようとシケムへ行ったからである。 | 10:1 Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king. | |
| 10:2ネバテの子ヤラベアムは、ソロモンを避けてエジプトにのがれていたが、これを聞いてエジプトから帰ったので、 | 10:2 It happened, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it, (for he was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of king Solomon), that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt. | |
| 10:3人々は人をつかわして彼を招いた。そこでヤラベアムとすべてのイスラエルは来て、レハベアムに言った、 | 10:3 They sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying, | |
| 10:4「あなたの父は、われわれのくびきを重くしましたが、今あなたの父のきびしい使役と、あなたの父が、われわれに負わせた重いくびきを軽くしてください。そうすればわたしたちはあなたに仕えましょう」。 | 10:4 "Your father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make you the grievous service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you." | |
| 10:5レハベアムは彼らに答えた、「三日の後、またわたしの所に来なさい」。それで民は去った。 | 10:5 He said to them, "Come again to me after three days." The people departed. | |
| 10:6レハベアム王は父ソロモンの存命中ソロモンに仕えた長老たちに相談して言った、「あなたがたはこの民にどう返答すればよいと思いますか」。 | 10:6 King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, "What counsel do you give me to return answer to this people?" | |
| 10:7彼らはレハベアムに言った、「あなたがもしこの民を親切にあつかい、彼らを喜ばせ、ねんごろに語られるならば彼らは長くあなたのしもべとなるでしょう」。 | 10:7 They spoke to him, saying, "If you are kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever." | |
| 10:8しかし彼は長老たちが与えた勧めをすてて、自分と一緒に大きくなって自分に仕えている若者たちに相談して、 | 10:8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him. | |
| 10:9彼らに言った、「あなたがたは、この民がわたしに向かって、『あなたの父上が、われわれに負わせたくびきを軽くしてください』と言うのに、われわれはなんと返答すればよいと思いますか」。 | 10:9 He said to them, "What counsel do you give, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, 'Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter?'" | |
| 10:10彼と一緒に大きくなった若者たちは彼に言った、「あなたに向かって、『あなたの父は、われわれのくびきを重くしたが、あなたは、それをわれわれのために軽くしてください』と言ったこの民に、こう言いなさい、『わたしの小指は父の腰よりも太い、 | 10:10 The young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, "Thus you shall tell the people who spoke to you, saying, 'Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter on us;' thus you shall say to them, 'My little finger is thicker than my father's waist. | |
| 10:11父はあなたがたに重いくびきを負わせたが、わたしはさらに、あなたがたのくびきを重くしよう。父はむちであなたがたを懲らしたが、わたしはさそりであなたがたを懲らそう』」。 | 10:11 Now whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.'" | |
| 10:12さてヤラベアムと民は皆、王が「三日目にわたしのところに来なさい」と言ったとおりに、三日目にレハベアムのところへ行った。 | 10:12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king asked, saying, "Come to me again the third day." | |
| 10:13王は荒々しく彼らに答えた。すなわちレハベアム王は長老たちの勧めをすて、 | 10:13 The king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men, | |
| 10:14若者たちの勧めに従い、彼らに告げて言った、「父はあなたがたのくびきを重くしたが、わたしは更にこれを重くしよう。父はむちであなたがたを懲らしたが、わたしはさそりであなたがたを懲らそう」。 | 10:14 and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, "My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions." | |
| 10:15このように王は民の言うことを聞きいれなかった。これは主が、かつてシロびとアヒヤによって、ネバテの子ヤラベアムに言われた言葉を成就するために、神がなされたのであった。 | 10:15 So the king didn't listen to the people; for it was brought about of God, that Yahweh might establish his word, which he spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat. | |
| 10:16イスラエルの人々は皆、王が自分たちの言うことを聞きいれないのを見たので、民は王に答えて言った、「われわれはダビデのうちに何の分があろうか。われわれはエッサイの子のうちに嗣業がない。イスラエルよ、めいめいの天幕に帰れ。ダビデよ、今あなたの家を見よ」。そしてイスラエルは皆彼らの天幕へ去って行った。 | 10:16 When all Israel saw that the king didn't listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, "What portion have we in David? Neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse! Every man to your tents, Israel! Now see to your own house, David." So all Israel departed to their tents. | |
| 10:17しかしレハベアムはユダの町々に住んでいるイスラエルの人々を治めた。 | 10:17 But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. | |
| 10:18レハベアム王は徴募人の監督であったアドラムをつかわしたが、イスラエルの人々が石で彼を撃ち殺したので、レハベアム王は急いで車に乗り、エルサレムに逃げた。 | 10:18 Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the men subject to forced labor; and the children of Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam made speed to get himself up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. | |
| 10:19こうしてイスラエルはダビデの家にそむいて今日に至った。 | 10:19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day. | |
| 11:1レハベアムはエルサレムに来て、ユダとベニヤミンの家の者、すなわち、えり抜きの軍人十八万人を集め、国を取りもどすためにイスラエルと戦おうとしたが、 | 11:1 When Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, one hundred eighty thousand chosen men, who were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam. | |
| 11:2主の言葉が神の人シマヤに臨んで言った、 | 11:2 But the word of Yahweh came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying, | |
| 11:3「ソロモンの子、ユダの王レハベアムおよびユダとベニヤミンにいるすべてのイスラエルの人々に言いなさい、 | 11:3 "Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying, | |
| 11:4『主はこう仰せられる、あなたがたは上ってはならない。あなたがたの兄弟と戦ってはならない。おのおの自分の家に帰りなさい。この事はわたしから出たのである』」。それで人々は主の言葉を聞き、ヤラベアムを攻めに行くのをやめて帰った。 | 11:4 'Thus says Yahweh, "You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers! Return every man to his house; for this thing is of me."'" So they listened to the words of Yahweh, and returned from going against Jeroboam. | |
| 11:5レハベアムはエルサレムに住んで、ユダに防衛の町々を建てた。 | 11:5 Rehoboam lived in Jerusalem, and built cities for defense in Judah. | |
| 11:6すなわちベツレヘム、エタム、テコア、 | 11:6 He built Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa, | |
| 11:7ベテズル、ソコ、アドラム、 | 11:7 Beth Zur, and Soco, and Adullam, | |
| 11:8ガテ、マレシャ、ジフ、 | 11:8 and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph, | |
| 11:9アドライム、ラキシ、アゼカ、 | 11:9 and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah, | |
| 11:10ゾラ、アヤロン、およびヘブロン。これらはユダとベニヤミンにあって要害の町々である。 | 11:10 and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities. | |
| 11:11彼はその要害を堅固にし、これに軍長を置き、糧食と油とぶどう酒をたくわえ、 | 11:11 He fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and stores of food, and oil and wine. | |
| 11:12またそのすべての町に盾とやりを備えて、これを非常に強化し、そしてユダとベニヤミンを確保した。 | 11:12 He put shields and spears in every city, and made them exceeding strong. Judah and Benjamin belonged to him. | |
| 11:13イスラエルの全地の祭司とレビびとは四方の境から来てレハベアムに身を寄せた。 | 11:13 The priests and the Levites who were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their border. | |
| 11:14すなわちレビびとは自分の放牧地と領地を離れてユダとエルサレムに来た。これはヤラベアムとその子らが彼らを排斥して、主の前に祭司の務をさせなかったためである。 | 11:14 For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, that they should not execute the priest's office to Yahweh; | |
| 11:15ヤラベアムは高き所と、みだらな神と、自分で造った子牛のために自分の祭司を立てた。 | 11:15 and he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the male goats, and for the calves which he had made. | |
| 11:16またイスラエルのすべての部族のうちで、すべてその心を傾けて、イスラエルの神、主を求める者は先祖の神、主に犠牲をささげるために、レビびとに従ってエルサレムに来た。 | 11:16 After them, out of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their hearts to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Yahweh, the God of their fathers. | |
| 11:17このように彼らはユダの国を堅くし、ソロモンの子レハベアムを三年の間強くした。彼らは三年の間ダビデとソロモンの道に歩んだからである。 | 11:17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years; for they walked three years in the way of David and Solomon. | |
| 11:18レハベアムはダビデの子エレモテの娘マハラテを妻にめとった。マハラテはエッサイの子エリアブの娘アビハイルが産んだ者である。 | 11:18 Rehoboam took him a wife, Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse; | |
| 11:19彼女はエウシ、シマリヤおよびザハムの三子を産んだ。 | 11:19 and she bore him sons: Jeush, and Shemariah, and Zaham. | |
| 11:20彼はまた彼女の後にアブサロムの娘マアカをめとった。マアカはアビヤ、アッタイ、ジザおよびシロミテを産んだ。 | 11:20 After her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith. | |
| 11:21レハベアムはアブサロムの娘マアカをすべての妻とそばめにまさって愛した。彼は妻十八人、そばめ六十人をめとって、男の子二十八人と女の子六十人をもうけた。 | 11:21 Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and sixty concubines, and became the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.) | |
| 11:22レハベアムはマアカの子アビヤを立ててかしらとし、その兄弟の長とした。彼はアビヤを王にしようと思ったからである。 | 11:22 Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, the prince among his brothers; for he intended to make him king. | |
| 11:23それで王は賢くとり行い、そのむすこたちをことごとく、ユダとベニヤミンの全地方にあるすべての要害の町に散在させ、彼らに糧食を多く与え、また多くの妻を得させた。 | 11:23 He dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city: and he gave them food in abundance. He sought for them many wives. | |
| 12:1レハベアムはその国が堅く立ち、強くなるに及んで、主のおきてを捨てた。イスラエルも皆彼にならった。 | 12:1 It happened, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of Yahweh, and all Israel with him. | |
| 12:2彼らがこのように主に向かって罪を犯したので、レハベアム王の五年にエジプトの王シシャクがエルサレムに攻め上ってきた。 | 12:2 It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against Yahweh, | |
| 12:3その戦車は一千二百、騎兵は六万、また彼に従ってエジプトから来た民、すなわちリビアびと、スキびと、エチオピヤびとは無数であった。 | 12:3 with twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horsemen. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians. | |
| 12:4シシャクはユダの要害の町々を取り、エルサレムに迫って来た。 | 12:4 He took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem. | |
| 12:5そこで預言者シマヤは、レハベアムおよびシシャクのゆえに、エルサレムに集まったユダのつかさたちのもとにきて言った、「主はこう仰せられる、『あなたがたはわたしを捨てたので、わたしもあなたがたを捨ててシシャクにわたした』と」。 | 12:5 Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, "Thus says Yahweh, 'You have forsaken me, therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.'" | |
| 12:6そこでイスラエルのつかさたち、および王はへりくだって、「主は正しい」と言った。 | 12:6 Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, "Yahweh is righteous." | |
| 12:7主は彼らのへりくだるのを見られたので、主の言葉がシマヤにのぞんで言った、「彼らがへりくだったから、わたしは彼らを滅ぼさないで、間もなく救を施す。わたしはシシャクの手によって、怒りをエルサレムに注ぐことをしない。 | 12:7 When Yahweh saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Yahweh came to Shemaiah, saying, "They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them; but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. | |
| 12:8しかし彼らはシシャクのしもべになる。これは彼らがわたしに仕えることと、国々の王たちに仕えることとの相違を知るためである」。 | 12:8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries." | |
| 12:9エジプトの王シシャクはエルサレムに攻めのぼって、主の宮の宝物と、王の家の宝物とを奪い去った。すなわちそれらをことごとく奪い去り、またソロモンの造った金の盾をも奪い去った。 | 12:9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king's house. He took it all away. He also took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made. | |
| 12:10それでレハベアム王は、その代りに青銅の盾を造って、王の家の門を守る侍衛長たちの手に渡した。 | 12:10 King Rehoboam made in their place shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house. | |
| 12:11王が主の宮にはいるごとに侍衛は来て、これを負い、またこれを侍衛のへやへ持って帰った。 | 12:11 It was so, that as often as the king entered into the house of Yahweh, the guard came and bore them, and brought them back into the guard room. | |
| 12:12レハベアムがへりくだったので主の怒りは彼を離れ、彼をことごとく滅ぼそうとはされなかった。またユダの事情もよくなった。 | 12:12 When he humbled himself, the wrath of Yahweh turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether: and moreover in Judah there were good things found. | |
| 12:13レハベアム王はエルサレムで自分の地位を確立し、世を治めた。すなわちレハベアムは四十一歳のとき位につき、十七年の間エルサレムで世を治めた。エルサレムは主がその名を置くためにイスラエルのすべての部族のうちから選ばれた町である。彼の母はアンモンの女で、名をナアマといった。 | 12:13 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Yahweh had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess. | |
| 12:14レハベアムは主を求めることに心を傾けないで、悪い事を行った。 | 12:14 He did that which was evil, because he didn't set his heart to seek Yahweh. | |
| 12:15レハベアムの始終の行為は、預言者シマヤおよび先見者イドの書にしるされているではないか。レハベアムとヤラベアムとの間には絶えず戦争があった。 | 12:15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, aren't they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the way of genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually. | |
| 12:16レハベアムはその先祖たちと共に眠って、ダビデの町に葬られ、その子アビヤが彼に代って王となった。 | 12:16 Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his place. | |
| 13:1ヤラベアム王の第十八年にアビヤがユダの王となった。 | 13:1 In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah. | |
| 13:2彼は三年の間エルサレムで世を治めた。彼の母はギベアのウリエルの娘で、名をミカヤといった。 | 13:2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. | |
| 13:3ここにアビヤとヤラベアムとの間に戦争が起り、アビヤは四十万の精兵から成る勇敢な軍勢をもって戦いにいで、ヤラベアムも大勇士から成る八十万の精兵をもって、これに向かって戦いの備えをした。 | 13:3 Abijah joined battle with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, who were mighty men of valor. | |
| 13:4時にアビヤはエフライムの山地にあるゼマライム山の上に立って言った、「ヤラベアムおよびイスラエルの人々よ皆聞け。 | 13:4 Abijah stood up on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, "Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel: | |
| 13:5あなたがたはイスラエルの神、主が塩の契約をもってイスラエルの国をながくダビデとその子孫に賜わったことを知らないのか。 | 13:5 Ought you not to know that Yahweh, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David forever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? | |
| 13:6ところがダビデの子ソロモンの家来であるネバテの子ヤラベアムが起って、その主君にそむき、 | 13:6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord. | |
| 13:7また卑しい無頼のともがらが集まって彼にくみし、ソロモンの子レハベアムに敵したが、レハベアムは若く、かつ意志が弱くてこれに当ることができなかった。 | 13:7 There were gathered to him worthless men, base fellows, who strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them. | |
| 13:8今また、あなたがたは大軍をたのみ、またヤラベアムが造って、あなたがたの神とした金の子牛をたのんで、ダビデの子孫の手にある主の国に敵対しようとしている。 | 13:8 "Now you think to withstand the kingdom of Yahweh in the hand of the sons of David; and you are a great multitude, and there are with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods. | |
| 13:9またあなたがたはアロンの子孫である主の祭司とレビびととを追いだして、他の国々の民がするように祭司を立てたではないか。すなわちだれでも若い雄牛一頭、雄羊七頭を携えてきて、自分を聖別する者は皆あの神でない者の祭司とすることができた。 | 13:9 Haven't you driven out the priests of Yahweh, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for yourselves after the ways of the peoples of other lands? so that whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams, the same may be a priest of those who are no gods. | |
| 13:10しかしわれわれにおいては、主がわれわれの神であって、われわれは彼を捨てない。また主に仕える祭司はアロンの子孫であり、働きをなす者はレビびとである。 | 13:10 "But as for us, Yahweh is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and we have priests ministering to Yahweh, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work: | |
| 13:11彼らは朝ごと夕ごとに主に燔祭と、こうばしい香をささげ、供えのパンを純金の机の上に供え、また金の燭台とそのともしび皿を整えて、夕ごとにともすのである。このようにわれわれはわれわれの神、主の務を守っているが、あなたがたは彼を捨てた。 | 13:11 and they burn to Yahweh every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet incense. They also set the show bread in order on the pure table; and the lampstand of gold with its lamps, to burn every evening: for we keep the instruction of Yahweh our God; but you have forsaken him. | |
| 13:12見よ、神はみずからわれわれと共におられて、われわれのかしらとなられ、また、その祭司たちはラッパを吹きならして、あなたがたを攻める。イスラエルの人々よ、あなたがたの先祖の神、主に敵して戦ってはならない。あなたがたは成功しない」。 | 13:12 Behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. Children of Israel, don't fight against Yahweh, the God of your fathers; for you shall not prosper." | |
| 13:13ヤラベアムは伏兵を彼らのうしろに回らせたので、彼の軍隊はユダの前にあり、伏兵は彼らのうしろにあった。 | 13:13 But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them. | |
| 13:14ユダはうしろを見ると、敵が前とうしろとにあったので、主に向かって呼ばわり、祭司たちはラッパを吹いた。 | 13:14 When Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried to Yahweh, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. | |
| 13:15そこでユダの人々はときの声をあげた。ユダの人々がときの声をあげると、神はヤラベアムとイスラエルの人々をアビヤとユダの前に打ち敗られたので、 | 13:15 Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it happened, that God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. | |
| 13:16イスラエルの人々はユダの前から逃げた。神が彼らをユダの手に渡されたので、 | 13:16 The children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand. | |
| 13:17アビヤとその民は、彼らをおびただしく撃ち殺した。イスラエルの殺されて倒れた者は五十万人、皆精兵であった。 | 13:17 Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. | |
| 13:18このように、この時イスラエルの人々は打ち負かされ、ユダの人々は勝を得た。彼らがその先祖の神、主を頼んだからである。 | 13:18 Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied on Yahweh, the God of their fathers. | |
| 13:19アビヤはヤラベアムを追撃して数個の町を彼から取った。すなわちベテルとその村里、エシャナとその村里、エフロンとその村里である。 | 13:19 Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with its towns, and Jeshanah with its towns, and Ephron with its towns. | |
| 13:20ヤラベアムは、アビヤの世には再び力を得ることができず、主に撃たれて死んだ。 | 13:20 Jeroboam didn't recover strength again in the days of Abijah. Yahweh struck him, and he died. | |
| 13:21しかしアビヤは強くなり、妻十四人をめとり、むすこ二十二人、むすめ十六人をもうけた。 | 13:21 But Abijah grew mighty, and took to himself fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons, and sixteen daughters. | |
| 13:22アビヤのその他の行為すなわちその行動と言葉は、預言者イドの注釈にしるされている。 | 13:22 The rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo. | |
| 14:1アビヤはその先祖たちと共に眠って、ダビデの町に葬られ、その子アサが代って王となった。アサの治世に国は十年の間、穏やかであった。 | 14:1 So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son reigned in his place. In his days the land was quiet ten years. | |
| 14:2アサはその神、主の目に良しと見え、また正しと見えることを行った。 | 14:2 Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of Yahweh his God: | |
| 14:3彼は異なる祭壇と、もろもろの高き所を取り除き、石柱をこわし、アシラ像を切り倒し、 | 14:3 for he took away the foreign altars, and the high places, and broke down the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, | |
| 14:4ユダに命じてその先祖たちの神、主を求めさせ、おきてと戒めとを行わせ、 | 14:4 and commanded Judah to seek Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment. | |
| 14:5ユダのすべての町々から、高き所と香の祭壇とを取り除いた。そして国は彼のもとに穏やかであった。 | 14:5 Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun images: and the kingdom was quiet before him. | |
| 14:6彼は国が穏やかであったので、要害の町数個をユダに建てた。また主が彼に平安を賜わったので、この年ごろ戦争がなかった。 | 14:6 He built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years, because Yahweh had given him rest. | |
| 14:7彼はユダに言った、「われわれはこれらの町を建て、その周囲に石がきを築き、やぐらを建て、門と貫の木を設けよう。われわれがわれわれの神、主を求めたので、この国はなおわれわれのものであり、われわれが彼を求めたので、四方において、われわれに平安を賜わった」。こうして彼らは滞りなく建て終った。 | 14:7 For he said to Judah, "Let us build these cities, and make walls around them, with towers, gates, and bars. The land is yet before us, because we have sought Yahweh our God; we have sought him, and he has given us rest on every side." So they built and prospered. | |
| 14:8アサの軍隊はユダから出た者三十万人あって、盾とやりをとり、ベニヤミンから出た者二十八万人あって、小盾をとり、弓を引いた。これはみな大勇士であった。 | 14:8 Asa had an army that bore bucklers and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred eighty thousand: all these were mighty men of valor. | |
| 14:9エチオピヤびとゼラが、百万の軍隊と三百の戦車を率いて、マレシャまで攻めてきた。 | 14:9 There came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an army of a million troops, and three hundred chariots; and he came to Mareshah. | |
| 14:10アサは出て、これを迎え、マレシャのゼパタの谷に戦いの備えをした。 | 14:10 Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. | |
| 14:11時にアサはその神、主に向かって呼ばわって言った、「主よ、力のある者を助けることも、力のない者を助けることも、あなたにおいては異なることはありません。われわれの神、主よ、われわれをお助けください。われわれはあなたに寄り頼み、あなたの名によってこの大軍に当ります。主よ、あなたはわれわれの神です。どうぞ人をあなたに勝たせないでください」。 | 14:11 Asa cried to Yahweh his God, and said, "Yahweh, there is none besides you to help, between the mighty and him who has no strength. Help us, Yahweh our God; for we rely on you, and in your name are we come against this multitude. Yahweh, you are our God. Don't let man prevail against you." | |
| 14:12そこで主はアサの前とユダの前でエチオピヤびとを撃ち敗られたので、エチオピヤびとは逃げ去った。 | 14:12 So Yahweh struck the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled. | |
| 14:13アサと彼に従う民は彼らをゲラルまで追撃したので、エチオピヤびとは倒れて、生き残った者はひとりもなかった。主と主の軍勢の前に撃ち破られたからである。ユダの人々の得たぶんどり物は非常に多かった。 | 14:13 Asa and the people who were with him pursued them to Gerar: and there fell of the Ethiopians so many that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before Yahweh, and before his army; and they carried away very much booty. | |
| 14:14彼らはまた、ゲラルの周囲の町々をことごとく撃ち破った。主の恐れが彼らの上に臨んだからである。そして彼らはそのすべての町をかすめ奪った。その内に多くの物があったからである。 | 14:14 They struck all the cities around Gerar; for the fear of Yahweh came on them: and they despoiled all the cities; for there was much spoil in them. | |
| 14:15また家畜をもっている者の天幕を襲い、多くの羊とらくだを奪い取って、エルサレムに帰った。 | 14:15 They struck also the tents of livestock, and carried away sheep in abundance, and camels, and returned to Jerusalem. | |
| 15:1時に神の霊がオデデの子アザリヤに臨んだので、 | 15:1 The Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded: | |
| 15:2彼は出ていってアサを迎え、これに言った、「アサおよびユダとベニヤミンの人々よ、わたしに聞きなさい。あなたがたが主と共におる間は、主もあなたがたと共におられます。あなたがたが、もし彼を求めるならば、彼に会うでしょう。しかし、彼を捨てるならば、彼もあなたがたを捨てられるでしょう。 | 15:2 and he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, "Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin! Yahweh is with you, while you are with him; and if you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you. | |
| 15:3そもそも、イスラエルには長い間、まことの神がなく、教をなす祭司もなく、律法もなかった。 | 15:3 Now for a long time Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law. | |
| 15:4しかし、悩みの時、彼らがイスラエルの神、主に立ち返り、彼を求めたので彼に会った。 | 15:4 But when in their distress they turned to Yahweh, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them. | |
| 15:5そのころは、出る者にも入る者にも、平安がなく、大いなる騒乱が国々のすべての住民を悩ました。 | 15:5 In those times there was no peace to him who went out, nor to him who came in; but great troubles were on all the inhabitants of the lands. | |
| 15:6国は国に、町は町に撃ち砕かれた。神がもろもろの悩みをもって彼らを苦しめられたからです。 | 15:6 They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God troubled them with all adversity. | |
| 15:7しかしあなたがたは勇気を出しなさい。手を弱くしてはならない。あなたがたのわざには報いがあるからです」。 | 15:7 But you be strong, and don't let your hands be slack; for your work shall be rewarded." | |
| 15:8アサはこれらの言葉すなわちオデデの子アザリヤの預言を聞いて勇気を得、憎むべき偶像をユダとベニヤミンの全地から除き、また彼がエフライムの山地で得た町々から除き、主の宮の廊の前にあった主の祭壇を再興した。 | 15:8 When Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from the hill country of Ephraim; and he renewed the altar of Yahweh, that was before the porch of Yahweh. | |
| 15:9彼はまたユダとベニヤミンの人々およびエフライム、マナセ、シメオンから来て、彼らの間に寄留していた者を集めた。その神、主がアサと共におられるのを見て、イスラエルからアサのもとに下った者が多くあったからである。 | 15:9 He gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who lived with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that Yahweh his God was with him. | |
| 15:10彼らはアサの治世の十五年の三月にエルサレムに集まり、 | 15:10 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa. | |
| 15:11携えてきたぶんどり物のうちから牛七百頭、羊七千頭をその日主にささげた。 | 15:11 They sacrificed to Yahweh in that day, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep. | |
| 15:12そして彼らは契約を結び、心をつくし、精神をつくして先祖の神、主を求めることと、 | 15:12 They entered into the covenant to seek Yahweh, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul; | |
| 15:13すべてイスラエルの神、主を求めない者は老幼男女の別なく殺さるべきことを約した。 | 15:13 and that whoever would not seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. | |
| 15:14そして彼らは大声をあげて叫び、ラッパを吹き、角笛を鳴らして、主に誓いを立てた。 | 15:14 They swore to Yahweh with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets. | |
| 15:15ユダは皆その誓いを喜んだ。彼らは心をつくして誓いを立て、精神をつくして主を求めたので、主は彼らに会い、四方で彼らに安息を賜わった。 | 15:15 All Judah rejoiced at the oath; for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and Yahweh gave them rest all around. | |
| 15:16アサ王の母マアカがアシラのために憎むべき像を造ったので、アサは彼女をおとして太后とせず、その憎むべき像を切り倒して粉々に砕き、キデロン川でそれを焼いた。 | 15:16 Also Maacah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and made dust of it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron. | |
| 15:17ただし高き所はイスラエルから除かなかったが、アサの心は一生の間、正しかった。 | 15:17 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days. | |
| 15:18彼はまた、その父のささげた物および自分のささげた物、すなわち銀、金並びに器物などを主の宮に携え入れた。 | 15:18 He brought into God's house the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels. | |
| 15:19そしてアサの治世の三十五年までは再び戦争がなかった。 | 15:19 There was no more war to the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa. | |
| 16:1アサの治世の三十六年にイスラエルの王バアシャはユダに攻め上り、ユダの王アサの所にだれをも出入りさせないためにラマを築いた。 | 16:1 In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah. | |
| 16:2そこでアサは主の宮と王の家の宝蔵から金銀を取り出し、ダマスコに住んでいるスリヤの王ベネハダデに贈って言った、 | 16:2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of Yahweh and of the king's house, and sent to Ben Hadad king of Syria, who lived at Damascus, saying, | |
| 16:3「わたしの父とあなたの父の間のように、わたしとあなたの間に同盟を結びましょう。わたしはあなたに金銀を贈ります。行って、あなたとイスラエルの王バアシャとの同盟を破り、彼をわたしから撤退させてください」。 | 16:3 "Let there be a treaty between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me." | |
| 16:4ベネハダデはアサ王の言うことを聞き、自分の軍勢の長たちをつかわしてイスラエルの町々を攻め、イヨンとダンとアベル・マイムおよびナフタリのすべての倉の町を撃った。 | 16:4 Ben Hadad listened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali. | |
| 16:5バアシャはこれを聞いて、ラマを築くことをやめ、その工事を廃した。 | 16:5 It happened, when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease. | |
| 16:6そこでアサ王はユダの全国の人々を引き連れ、バアシャがラマを建てるために用いた石と木材を運んでこさせ、それをもってゲバとミヅパを建てた。 | 16:6 Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah. | |
| 16:7そのころ先見者ハナニがユダの王アサのもとに来て言った、「あなたがスリヤの王に寄り頼んで、あなたの神、主に寄り頼まなかったので、スリヤ王の軍勢はあなたの手からのがれてしまった。 | 16:7 At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, "Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on Yahweh your God, therefore is the army of the king of Syria escaped out of your hand. | |
| 16:8かのエチオピヤびとと、リビアびとは大軍で、その戦車と騎兵は、はなはだ多かったではないか。しかしあなたが主に寄り頼んだので、主は彼らをあなたの手に渡された。 | 16:8 Weren't the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge army, with chariots and horsemen exceeding many? Yet, because you relied on Yahweh, he delivered them into your hand. | |
| 16:9主の目はあまねく全地を行きめぐり、自分に向かって心を全うする者のために力をあらわされる。今度の事では、あなたは愚かな事をした。ゆえにこの後、あなたに戦争が臨むであろう」。 | 16:9 For the eyes of Yahweh run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein you have done foolishly; for from henceforth you shall have wars." | |
| 16:10するとアサはその先見者を怒って、獄屋に入れた。この事のために激しく彼を怒ったからである。アサはまたそのころ民のある者をしえたげた。 | 16:10 Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in the prison; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time. | |
| 16:11見よ、アサの始終の行為は、ユダとイスラエルの列王の書にしるされている。 | 16:11 Behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. | |
| 16:12アサはその治世の三十九年に足を病み、その病は激しくなったが、その病の時にも、主を求めないで医者を求めた。 | 16:12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet; his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he didn't seek Yahweh, but to the physicians. | |
| 16:13アサは先祖たちと共に眠り、その治世の四十一年に死んだ。 | 16:13 Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign. | |
| 16:14人々は彼が自分のためにダビデの町に掘っておいた墓に葬り、製香の術をもって造った様々の香料を満たした床に横たえ、彼のためにおびただしく香をたいた。 | 16:14 They buried him in his own tombs, which he had dug out for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odors and various kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers' art: and they made a very great burning for him. | |
| 17:1アサの子ヨシャパテがアサに代って王となり、イスラエルに向かって自分を強くし、 | 17:1 Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and strengthened himself against Israel. | |
| 17:2ユダのすべての堅固な町々に軍隊を置き、またユダの地およびその父アサが取ったエフライムの町々に守備隊を置いた。 | 17:2 He placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken. | |
| 17:3主はヨシャパテと共におられた。彼がその父ダビデの最初の道に歩んで、バアルに求めず、 | 17:3 Yahweh was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and didn't seek the Baals, | |
| 17:4その父の神に求めて、その戒めに歩み、イスラエルの行いにならわなかったからである。 | 17:4 but sought to the God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel. | |
| 17:5それゆえ、主は国を彼の手に堅く立てられ、またユダの人々は皆ヨシャパテに贈り物を持ってきた。彼は大いなる富と誉とを得た。 | 17:5 Therefore Yahweh established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat tribute; and he had riches and honor in abundance. | |
| 17:6そこで彼は主の道に心を励まし、さらに高き所とアシラ像とをユダから除いた。 | 17:6 His heart was lifted up in the ways of Yahweh: and furthermore he took away the high places and the Asherim out of Judah. | |
| 17:7彼はまたその治世の三年に、つかさたちベネハイル、オバデヤ、ゼカリヤ、ネタンエルおよびミカヤをつかわしてユダの町々で教えさせ、 | 17:7 Also in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben Hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah; | |
| 17:8また彼らと共にレビびとのうちからシマヤ、ネタニヤ、ゼバデヤ、アサヘル、セミラモテ、ヨナタン、アドニヤ、トビヤ、トバドニヤをつかわし、またこれらのレビびとと共に祭司エリシャマとヨラムをもつかわした。 | 17:8 and with them the Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests. | |
| 17:9彼らは主の律法の書を携えて、ユダで教をなし、またユダの町々をことごとく巡回して、民の間に教をなした。 | 17:9 They taught in Judah, having the book of the law of Yahweh with them; and they went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught among the people. | |
| 17:10そこでユダの周囲の国々は皆主を恐れ、ヨシャパテと戦うことをしなかった。 | 17:10 The fear of Yahweh fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat. | |
| 17:11また、ペリシテびとのうちで贈り物や、みつぎの銀をヨシャパテの所に持ってくる者があり、またアラビヤびとは雄羊七千七百頭、雄やぎ七千七百頭を彼に持ってきた。 | 17:11 Some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and silver for tribute; the Arabians also brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred male goats. | |
| 17:12こうしてヨシャパテはますます大いになり、ユダに要害および倉の町を建て、 | 17:12 Jehoshaphat grew great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles and cities of store. | |
| 17:13ユダの町々に多くの軍需品を持ち、またエルサレムに大勇士である軍人たちを持っていた。 | 17:13 He had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, in Jerusalem. | |
| 17:14彼らをその氏族によって数えれば次のとおりである。すなわちユダから出た千人の長のうちでは、アデナという軍長と彼に従う大勇士三十万人、 | 17:14 This was the numbering of them according to their fathers' houses: Of Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him mighty men of valor three hundred thousand; | |
| 17:15その次は軍長ヨハナンと彼に従う者二十八万人、 | 17:15 and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred eighty thousand; | |
| 17:16その次は喜んでその身を主にささげた者ジクリの子アマジヤと彼に従う大勇士二十万人。 | 17:16 and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to Yahweh; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor. | |
| 17:17ベニヤミンから出た者のうちでは、エリアダという大勇士と彼に従う弓および盾を持つ者二十万人、 | 17:17 Of Benjamin: Eliada a mighty man of valor, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield; | |
| 17:18その次はヨザバデと彼に従う戦いの備えある者十八万人である。 | 17:18 and next to him Jehozabad and with him one hundred eighty thousand ready prepared for war. | |
| 17:19これらは皆王に仕える者たちで、このほかにまたユダ全国の堅固な町々に、王が駐在させた者があった。 | 17:19 These were those who waited on the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah. | |
| 18:1ヨシャパテは大いなる富と誉とをもち、アハブと縁を結んだ。 | 18:1 Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and he joined affinity with Ahab. | |
| 18:2彼は数年の後、サマリヤに下って、アハブをおとずれた。アハブは彼と彼に従ってきた民のために羊と牛を多くほふり、ラモテ・ギレアデに一緒に攻め上ることを彼にすすめた。 | 18:2 After certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. Ahab killed sheep and cattle for him in abundance, and for the people who were with him, and moved him to go up with him to Ramoth Gilead. | |
| 18:3イスラエルの王アハブはユダの王ヨシャパテに言った、「あなたはわたしと一緒にラモテ・ギレアデに攻めて行きますか」。ヨシャパテは答えた、「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。わたしはあなたと一緒に戦いに臨みましょう」。 | 18:3 Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, "Will you go with me to Ramoth Gilead?" He answered him, "I am as you are, and my people as your people. We will be with you in the war." | |
| 18:4ヨシャパテはまたイスラエルの王に言った、「まず主の言葉を求めなさい」。 | 18:4 Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "Please inquire first for the word of Yahweh." | |
| 18:5そこでイスラエルの王は預言者四百人を集めて彼らに言った、「われわれはラモテ・ギレアデに、戦いに行くべきか、あるいは控えるべきか」。彼らは言った、「上って行きなさい。神はそれを王の手にわたされるでしょう」。 | 18:5 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, "Shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?" They said, "Go up; for God will deliver it into the hand of the king." | |
| 18:6ヨシャパテは言った、「ほかにわれわれが問うべき主の預言者はここにいませんか」。 | 18:6 But Jehoshaphat said, "Isn't there here a prophet of Yahweh besides, that we may inquire of him?" | |
| 18:7イスラエルの王はヨシャパテに言った、「ほかになおひとりいます。われわれはこの人によって主に問うことができますが、彼はわたしについて良い事を預言したことがなく、常に悪いことだけを預言するので、わたしは彼を憎みます。その者はイムラの子ミカヤです」。ヨシャパテは言った、「王よ、そうは言わないでください」。 | 18:7 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Yahweh; but I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil. He is Micaiah the son of Imla." Jehoshaphat said, "Don't let the king say so." | |
| 18:8そこでイスラエルの王はひとりの役人を呼んで、「イムラの子ミカヤを急いで連れてきなさい」と言った。 | 18:8 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, "Get Micaiah the son of Imla quickly." | |
| 18:9さてイスラエルの王およびユダの王ヨシャパテは王の衣を着て、サマリヤの門の入口の広場におのおのその玉座に座し、預言者たちは皆その前で預言していた。 | 18:9 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, and they were sitting in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them. | |
| 18:10ケナアナの子ゼデキヤは鉄の角を造って言った、「主はこう仰せられます、『あなたはこれらの角をもってスリヤびとを突いて滅ぼし尽しなさい』」。 | 18:10 Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron, and said, "Thus says Yahweh, 'With these you shall push the Syrians, until they are consumed.'" | |
| 18:11預言者たちは皆そのように預言して言った、「ラモテ・ギレアデに上っていって勝利を得なさい。主はそれを王の手にわたされるでしょう」。 | 18:11 All the prophets prophesied so, saying, "Go up to Ramoth Gilead, and prosper; for Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king." | |
| 18:12さてミカヤを呼びに行った使者は彼に言った、「預言者たちは一致して王に良い事を言いました。どうぞ、あなたの言葉も、彼らのひとりの言葉のようにし、良い事を言ってください」。 | 18:12 The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, "Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth. Let your word therefore, please be like one of theirs, and speak good." | |
| 18:13ミカヤは言った、「主は生きておられる。わが神の言われることをわたしは申します」。 | 18:13 Micaiah said, "As Yahweh lives, what my God says, that will I speak." | |
| 18:14彼が王の所へ行くと、王は彼に言った、「ミカヤよ、われわれはラモテ・ギレアデに戦いに行くべきか、あるいは控えるべきか」。彼は言った、「上って行って勝利を得なさい。彼らはあなたの手にわたされるでしょう」。 | 18:14 When he had come to the king, the king said to him, "Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?" He said, "Go up, and prosper. They shall be delivered into your hand." | |
| 18:15しかし王は彼に言った、「幾たびあなたを誓わせたら、あなたは主の名をもって、ただ真実のみをわたしに告げるだろうか」。 | 18:15 The king said to him, "How many times shall I adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of Yahweh?" | |
| 18:16彼は言った、「わたしはイスラエルが皆牧者のない羊のように山に散っているのを見ました。すると主は『これらの者は主人をもっていない。彼らをそれぞれ安らかに、その家に帰らせよ』と言われました」。 | 18:16 He said, "I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. Yahweh said, 'These have no master. Let them return every man to his house in peace.'" | |
| 18:17イスラエルの王はヨシャパテに言った、「わたしはあなたに、彼はわたしについて良い事を預言せず、ただ悪い事だけを預言すると告げたではありませんか」。 | 18:17 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Didn't I tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?" | |
| 18:18ミカヤは言った、「それだから主の言葉を聞きなさい。わたしは主がその玉座に座し、天の万軍がその右左に立っているのを見たが、 | 18:18 Micaiah said, "Therefore hear the word of Yahweh: I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left. | |
| 18:19主は、『だれがイスラエルの王アハブをいざなって、ラモテ・ギレアデに上らせ、彼を倒れさせるであろうか』と言われた。するとひとりは、こうしようと言い、ひとりは、ああしようと言った。 | 18:19 Yahweh said, 'Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?' One spoke saying in this way, and another saying in that way. | |
| 18:20その時一つの霊が進み出て、主の前に立ち、『わたしが彼をいざないましょう』と言ったので、主は彼に『何をもってするか』と言われた。 | 18:20 A spirit came out, stood before Yahweh, and said, 'I will entice him.' "Yahweh said to him, 'How?' | |
| 18:21彼は『わたしが出て行って、偽りを言う霊となって、すべての預言者の口に宿りましょう』と言った。そこで主は『おまえは彼をいざなって、それをなし遂げるであろう。出て行って、そうしなさい』と言われた。 | 18:21 "He said, 'I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' "He said, 'You will entice him, and will prevail also. Go forth, and do so.' | |
| 18:22それゆえ、主は偽りを言う霊をこの預言者たちの口に入れ、また主はあなたについて災を告げられたのです」。 | 18:22 "Now therefore, behold, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets; and Yahweh has spoken evil concerning you." | |
| 18:23するとケナアナの子ゼデキヤが近寄ってミカヤのほおを打って言った、「主の霊がどの道からわたしを離れて行って、あなたに語りましたか」。 | 18:23 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, "Which way did the Spirit of Yahweh go from me to speak to you?" | |
| 18:24ミカヤは言った、「あなたが奥の間にはいって身を隠す日に見るでしょう」。 | 18:24 Micaiah said, "Behold, you shall see on that day, when you shall go into an inner room to hide yourself." | |
| 18:25イスラエルの王は言った、「ミカヤを捕え、町のつかさアモンと王の子ヨアシの所へ引いて行って、 | 18:25 The king of Israel said, "Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son; | |
| 18:26言いなさい、『王はこう言う、この者を獄屋に入れ、少しばかりのパンと水をもって彼を養い、わたしが勝利を得て帰ってくるのを待て』と」。 | 18:26 and say, 'Thus says the king, "Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace."'" | |
| 18:27ミカヤは言った、「あなたがもし勝利を得て帰るならば、主はわたしによって語られなかったのです」。また彼は言った、「あなたがたすべての民よ、聞きなさい」。 | 18:27 Micaiah said, "If you return at all in peace, Yahweh has not spoken by me." He said, "Listen, you peoples, all of you!" | |
| 18:28こうしてイスラエルの王とユダの王ヨシャパテは、ラモテ・ギレアデに上った。 | 18:28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead. | |
| 18:29イスラエルの王はヨシャパテに言った、「わたしは姿を変えて戦いに行きましょう。しかしあなたは王の衣を着けなさい」。イスラエルの王は姿を変えて戦いに行った。 | 18:29 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but you put on your robes." So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went into the battle. | |
| 18:30さて、スリヤの王は、その戦車隊長たちに命じて言った、「あなたがたは小さい者とも、大きい者とも戦ってはならない。ただイスラエルの王とのみ戦いなさい」。 | 18:30 Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, "Fight neither with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel." | |
| 18:31戦車隊長らはヨシャパテを見たとき、これはきっとイスラエルの王だと思ったので、身を巡らしてこれと戦おうとした。しかしヨシャパテが呼ばわったので、主はこれを助けられた。すなわち神は敵を彼から離れさせられた。 | 18:31 It happened, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, "It is the king of Israel!" Therefore they turned around to fight against him. But Jehoshaphat cried out, and Yahweh helped him; and God moved them to depart from him. | |
| 18:32戦車隊長らは彼がイスラエルの王でないのを見たので、彼を追うことをやめて引き返した。 | 18:32 It happened, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him. | |
| 18:33しかし、ひとりの人が、なにごころなく弓を引いて、イスラエルの王の胸当と、くさずりの間を射たので、彼はその車の御者に言った、「わたしは傷を受けたから、車をめぐらして、わたしを軍中から運び出せ」。 | 18:33 A certain man drew his bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor. Therefore he said to the driver of the chariot, "Turn your hand, and carry me out of the army; for I am severely wounded." | |
| 18:34その日戦いは激しくなった。イスラエルの王は車の中に自分をささえて立ち、夕暮までスリヤびとに向かっていたが、日の入るころになって死んだ。 | 18:34 The battle increased that day. However the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the evening; and about the time of the going down of the sun, he died. | |
| 19:1ユダの王ヨシャパテは、つつがなくエルサレムの自分の家に帰った。 | 19:1 Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem. | |
| 19:2そのとき、先見者ハナニの子エヒウが出てヨシャパテを迎えて言った、「あなたは悪人を助け、主を憎む者を愛してよいのですか。それゆえ怒りが主の前から出て、あなたの上に臨みます。 | 19:2 Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, "Should you help the wicked, and love those who hate Yahweh? Because of this, wrath is on you from before Yahweh. | |
| 19:3しかしあなたには、なお良い事もあります。あなたはアシラ像を国の中から除き、心を傾けて神を求められました」。 | 19:3 Nevertheless there are good things found in you, in that you have put away the Asheroth out of the land, and have set your heart to seek God." | |
| 19:4ヨシャパテはエルサレムに住んでいたが、また出て、ベエルシバからエフライムの山地まで民の中を巡り、先祖たちの神、主に彼らを導き返した。 | 19:4 Jehoshaphat lived at Jerusalem: and he went out again among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim, and brought them back to Yahweh, the God of their fathers. | |
| 19:5彼はまたユダの国中、すべての堅固な町ごとに裁判人を置いた。 | 19:5 He set judges in the land throughout all the fortified cities of Judah, city by city, | |
| 19:6そして裁判人たちに言った、「あなたがたは自分のする事に気をつけなさい。あなたがたは人のために裁判するのではなく、主のためにするのです。あなたがたが裁判する時には、主はあなたがたと共におられます。 | 19:6 and said to the judges, "Consider what you do: for you don't judge for man, but for Yahweh; and he is with you in the judgment. | |
| 19:7だからあなたがたは主を恐れ、慎んで行いなさい。われわれの神、主には不義がなく、人をかたより見ることなく、まいないを取ることもないからです」。 | 19:7 Now therefore let the fear of Yahweh be on you. Take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with Yahweh our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes." | |
| 19:8ヨシャパテはまたレビびと、祭司、およびイスラエルの氏族の長たちを選んでエルサレムに置き、主のために裁判を行い、争議の解決に当らせた。彼らはエルサレムに居住した。 | 19:8 Moreover in Jerusalem Jehoshaphat appointed Levites and priests, and of the heads of the fathers' households of Israel, for the judgment of Yahweh, and for controversies. They returned to Jerusalem. | |
| 19:9ヨシャパテは彼らに命じて言った、「あなたがたは主を恐れ、真実と真心とをもって行わなければならない。 | 19:9 He commanded them, saying, "Thus you shall do in the fear of Yahweh, faithfully, and with a perfect heart. | |
| 19:10すべてその町々に住んでいるあなたがたの兄弟たちから、血を流した事または律法と戒め、定めとおきてなどの事について訴えてきたならば、彼らをさとして、主の前に罪を犯させず、怒りがあなたがたと、あなたがたの兄弟たちに臨まないようにしなさい。そのようにすれば、あなたがたは罪を犯すことがないでしょう。 | 19:10 Whenever any controversy shall come to you from your brothers who dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and ordinances, you shall warn them, that they not be guilty towards Yahweh, and so wrath come on you and on your brothers. Do this, and you shall not be guilty. | |
| 19:11見よ、祭司長アマリヤは、あなたがたの上にいて、主の事をすべてつかさどり、イシマエルの子、ユダの家のつかさゼバデヤは王の事をすべてつかさどり、またレビびとはあなたがたの前にあって役人となります。雄々しく行動しなさい。主は正直な人と共におられます」。 | 19:11 Behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of Yahweh; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, in all the king's matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and may Yahweh be with the good." | |
| 20:1この後モアブびと、アンモンびとおよびメウニびとらがヨシャパテと戦おうと攻めてきた。 | 20:1 It happened after this, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle. | |
| 20:2その時ある人がきて、ヨシャパテに告げて言った、「海のかなたのエドムから大軍があなたに攻めて来ます。見よ、彼らはハザゾン・タマル（すなわちエンゲデ）にいます」。 | 20:2 Then some came who told Jehoshaphat, saying, "A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea from Syria. Behold, they are in Hazazon Tamar" (that is, En Gedi). | |
| 20:3そこでヨシャパテは恐れ、主に顔を向けて助けを求め、ユダ全国に断食をふれさせた。 | 20:3 Jehoshaphat was alarmed, and set himself to seek to Yahweh. He proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. | |
| 20:4それでユダはこぞって集まり、主の助けを求めた。すなわちユダのすべての町から人々が来て主を求めた。 | 20:4 Judah gathered themselves together, to seek help from Yahweh. They came out of all the cities of Judah to seek Yahweh. | |
| 20:5そこでヨシャパテは主の宮の新しい庭の前で、ユダとエルサレムの会衆の中に立って、 | 20:5 Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of Yahweh, before the new court; | |
| 20:6言った、「われわれの先祖の神、主よ、あなたは天にいます神ではありませんか。異邦人のすべての国を治められるではありませんか。あなたの手には力があり、勢いがあって、あなたに逆らいうる者はありません。 | 20:6 and he said, "Yahweh, the God of our fathers, aren't you God in heaven? Aren't you ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in your hand, so that no one is able to withstand you. | |
| 20:7われわれの神よ、あなたはこの国の民をあなたの民イスラエルの前から追い払って、あなたの友アブラハムの子孫に、これを永遠に与えられたではありませんか。 | 20:7 Didn't you, our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel, and give it to the seed of Abraham your friend forever? | |
| 20:8彼らはここに住み、あなたの名のためにここに聖所を建てて言いました、 | 20:8 They lived in it, and have built you a sanctuary in it for your name, saying, | |
| 20:9『つるぎ、審判、疫病、ききんなどの災がわれわれに臨む時、われわれはこの宮の前に立って、あなたの前におり、その悩みの中であなたに呼ばわります。すると、あなたは聞いて助けられます。あなたの名はこの宮にあるからです』と。 | 20:9 'If evil comes on us--the sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine--we will stand before this house, and before you, (for your name is in this house), and cry to you in our affliction, and you will hear and save.' | |
| 20:10今アンモン、モアブ、およびセイル山の人々をごらんなさい。昔イスラエルがエジプトの国から出てきた時、あなたはイスラエルに彼らを侵すことをゆるされなかったので、イスラエルは彼らを離れて、滅ぼしませんでした。 | 20:10 Now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom you would not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned aside from them, and didn't destroy them; | |
| 20:11彼らがわれわれに報いるところをごらんください。彼らは来て、あなたがわれわれに賜わったあなたの領地からわれわれを追い払おうとしています。 | 20:11 behold, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of your possession, which you have given us to inherit. | |
| 20:12われわれの神よ、あなたは彼らをさばかれないのですか。われわれはこのように攻めて来る大軍に当る力がなく、またいかになすべきかを知りません。ただ、あなたを仰ぎ望むのみです」。 | 20:12 Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no might against this great company that comes against us; neither know we what to do, but our eyes are on you." | |
| 20:13ユダの人々はその幼な子、その妻、および子供たちと共に皆主の前に立っていた。 | 20:13 All Judah stood before Yahweh, with their little ones, their wives, and their children. | |
| 20:14その時主の霊が会衆の中でアサフの子孫であるレビびとヤハジエルに臨んだ。ヤハジエルはゼカリヤの子、ゼカリヤはベナヤの子、ベナヤはエイエルの子、エイエルはマッタニヤの子である。 | 20:14 Then the Spirit of Yahweh came on Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly; | |
| 20:15ヤハジエルは言った、「ユダの人々、エルサレムの住民、およびヨシャパテ王よ、聞きなさい。主はあなたがたにこう仰せられる、『この大軍のために恐れてはならない。おののいてはならない。これはあなたがたの戦いではなく、主の戦いだからである。 | 20:15 and he said, "Listen, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you king Jehoshaphat. Thus says Yahweh to you, 'Don't be afraid, neither be dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's. | |
| 20:16あす、彼らの所へ攻め下りなさい。見よ、彼らはヂヅの坂から上って来る。あなたがたはエルエルの野の東、谷の端でこれに会うであろう。 | 20:16 Tomorrow go down against them. Behold, they are coming up by the ascent of Ziz. You shall find them at the end of the valley, before the wilderness of Jeruel. | |
| 20:17この戦いには、あなたがたは戦うに及ばない。ユダおよびエルサレムよ、あなたがたは進み出て立ち、あなたがたと共におられる主の勝利を見なさい。恐れてはならない。おののいてはならない。あす、彼らの所に攻めて行きなさい。主はあなたがたと共におられるからである』」。 | 20:17 You will not need to fight this battle. Set yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh with you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Don't be afraid, nor be dismayed. Go out against them tomorrow, for Yahweh is with you.'" | |
| 20:18ヨシャパテは地にひれ伏した。ユダの人々およびエルサレムの民も主の前に伏して、主を拝した。 | 20:18 Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before Yahweh, worshipping Yahweh. | |
| 20:19その時コハテびとの子孫、およびコラびとの子孫であるレビびとが立ち上がり、大声をあげてイスラエルの神、主をさんびした。 | 20:19 The Levites, of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites, stood up to praise Yahweh, the God of Israel, with an exceeding loud voice. | |
| 20:20彼らは朝早く起きてテコアの野に出て行った。その出て行くとき、ヨシャパテは立って言った、「ユダの人々およびエルサレムの民よ、わたしに聞きなさい。あなたがたの神、主を信じなさい。そうすればあなたがたは堅く立つことができる。主の預言者を信じなさい。そうすればあなたがたは成功するでしょう」。 | 20:20 They rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Listen to me, Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in Yahweh your God, so you shall be established! Believe his prophets, so you shall prosper." | |
| 20:21彼はまた民と相談して人々を任命し、聖なる飾りを着けて軍勢の前に進ませ、主に向かって歌をうたい、かつさんびさせ、「主に感謝せよ、そのいつくしみはとこしえに絶えることがない」と言わせた。 | 20:21 When he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those who should sing to Yahweh, and give praise in holy array, as they went out before the army, and say, Give thanks to Yahweh; for his loving kindness endures forever. | |
| 20:22そして彼らが歌をうたい、さんびし始めた時、主は伏兵を設け、かのユダに攻めてきたアンモン、モアブ、セイル山の人々に向かわせられたので、彼らは打ち敗られた。 | 20:22 When they began to sing and to praise, Yahweh set ambushers against the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were struck. | |
| 20:23すなわちアンモンとモアブの人々は立ち上がって、セイル山の民に敵し、彼らを殺して全く滅ぼしたが、セイルの民を殺し尽すに及んで、彼らもおのおの互に助けて滅ぼしあった。 | 20:23 For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, utterly to kill and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, everyone helped to destroy another. | |
| 20:24ユダの人々は野の物見やぐらへ行って、かの群衆を見たが、地に倒れた死体だけであって、ひとりものがれた者はなかった。 | 20:24 When Judah came to the place overlooking the wilderness, they looked at the multitude; and behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and there were none who escaped. | |
| 20:25それでヨシャパテとその民は彼らの物を奪うために来て見ると、多数の家畜、財宝、衣服および宝石などおびただしくあったので、おのおのそれをはぎ取ったが、運びきれないほどたくさんで、かすめ取るに三日もかかった。それほど物が多かったのである。 | 20:25 When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their spoil, they found among them in abundance both riches and dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in taking the spoil, it was so much. | |
| 20:26四日目に彼らはベラカの谷に集まり、その所で主を祝福した。それでその所の名を今日までベラカの谷と呼んでいる。 | 20:26 On the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Beracah; for there they blessed Yahweh: therefore the name of that place was called The valley of Beracah to this day. | |
| 20:27そしてユダとエルサレムの人々は皆ヨシャパテを先に立て、喜んでエルサレムに帰ってきた。主が彼らにその敵のことによって喜びを与えられたからである。 | 20:27 Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in their forefront, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for Yahweh had made them to rejoice over their enemies. | |
| 20:28すなわち彼らは立琴、琴およびラッパをもってエルサレムの主の宮に来た。 | 20:28 They came to Jerusalem with stringed instruments and harps and trumpets to the house of Yahweh. | |
| 20:29そしてもろもろの国の民は主がイスラエルの敵と戦われたことを聞いて神を恐れた。 | 20:29 The fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the countries, when they heard that Yahweh fought against the enemies of Israel. | |
| 20:30こうして神が四方に安息を賜わったので、ヨシャパテの国は穏やかであった。 | 20:30 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet; for his God gave him rest all around. | |
| 20:31このようにヨシャパテはユダを治めた。彼は三十五歳の時、王となり、二十五年の間エルサレムで世を治めた。彼の母の名はアズバといってシルヒの娘である。 | 20:31 Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. | |
| 20:32ヨシャパテは父アサの道を歩んでそれを離れず、主の目に正しいと見られることを行った。 | 20:32 He walked in the way of Asa his father, and didn't turn aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh. | |
| 20:33しかし高き所は除かず、また民はその先祖の神に心を傾けなかった。 | 20:33 However the high places were not taken away; neither as yet had the people set their hearts to the God of their fathers. | |
| 20:34ヨシャパテのその他の始終の行為は、ハナニの子エヒウの書にしるされ、イスラエルの列王の書に載せられてある。 | 20:34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the history of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is inserted in the book of the kings of Israel. | |
| 20:35この後ユダの王ヨシャパテはイスラエルの王アハジヤと相結んだ。アハジヤは悪を行った。 | 20:35 After this Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel. The same did very wickedly: | |
| 20:36ヨシャパテはタルシシへ行く船を造るためにアハジヤと相結び、エジオン・ゲベルで一緒に船数隻を造った。 | 20:36 and he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish; and they made the ships in Ezion Geber. | |
| 20:37その時マレシャのドダワの子エリエゼルはヨシャパテに向かって預言し、「あなたはアハジヤと相結んだので、主はあなたの造った物をこわされます」と言ったが、その船は難破して、タルシシへ行くことができなかった。 | 20:37 Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, "Because you have joined yourself with Ahaziah, Yahweh has destroyed your works." The ships were broken, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish. | |
| 21:1ヨシャパテは先祖たちと共に眠り、先祖たちと共にダビデの町に葬られ、その子ヨラムが代って王となった。 | 21:1 Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Jehoram his son reigned in his place. | |
| 21:2ヨシャパテの子であるその兄弟たちはアザリヤ、エヒエル、ゼカリヤ、アザリヤ、ミカエルおよびシパテヤで、皆ユダの王ヨシャパテの子たちであった。 | 21:2 He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah; all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel. | |
| 21:3その父は彼らに金、銀、宝物の賜物を多く与え、またユダの要害の町々を与えたが、ヨラムは長子なので、国はヨラムに与えた。 | 21:3 Their father gave them great gifts, of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn. | |
| 21:4ヨラムはその父の位に登って強くなった時、その兄弟たちをことごとくつるぎにかけて殺し、またユダのつかさたち数人を殺した。 | 21:4 Now when Jehoram was risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and various also of the princes of Israel. | |
| 21:5ヨラムは位についた時三十二歳で、エルサレムで八年の間世を治めた。 | 21:5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. | |
| 21:6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。アハブの娘を妻としたからである。このように彼は主の目の前に悪をおこなったが、 | 21:6 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: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh. | |
| 21:7主はさきにダビデと結ばれた契約のゆえに、また彼とその子孫とにながく、ともしびを与えると約束されたことによって、ダビデの家を滅ぼすことを好まれなかった。 | 21:7 However Yahweh would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a lamp to him and to his children always. | |
| 21:8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、 | 21:8 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves. | |
| 21:9ヨラムはその将校たち、およびすべての戦車を従えて渡って行き、夜のうちに立ち上がって、自分を包囲しているエドムびととその戦車の隊長たちを撃った。 | 21:9 Then Jehoram passed over with his captains, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, along with the captains of the chariots. | |
| 21:10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。そのころリブナもまたそむいてユダの支配を脱した。ヨラムが先祖たちの神、主を捨てたからである。 | 21:10 So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day: then Libnah revolted at the same time from under his hand, because he had forsaken Yahweh, the God of his fathers. | |
| 21:11彼はまたユダの山地に高き所を造って、エルサレムの民に姦淫を行わせ、ユダを惑わした。 | 21:11 Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute, and led Judah astray. | |
| 21:12その時預言者エリヤから次のような一通の手紙がヨラムのもとに来た、「あなたの先祖ダビデの神、主はこう仰せられる、『あなたは父ヨシャパテの道に歩まず、またユダの王アサの道に歩まないで、 | 21:12 A letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, "Thus says Yahweh, the God of David your father, 'Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah, | |
| 21:13イスラエルの王たちの道に歩み、ユダとエルサレムの民に、かのアハブの家がイスラエルに姦淫を行わせたように、姦淫を行わせ、またあなたの父の家の者で、あなたにまさっているあなたの兄弟たちを殺したゆえ、 | 21:13 but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute, like the house of Ahab did, and also have slain your brothers of your father's house, who were better than yourself: | |
| 21:14主は大いなる災をもってあなたの民と子供と妻たちと、すべての所有を撃たれる。 | 21:14 behold, Yahweh will strike with a great plague your people, and your children, and your wives, and all your substance; | |
| 21:15あなたはまた内臓の病気にかかって大病になり、それが日に日に重くなって、ついに内臓が出るようになる』」。 | 21:15 and you shall have great sickness by disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day.'" | |
| 21:16その時、主はヨラムに対してエチオピヤびとの近くに住んでいるペリシテびととアラビヤびとの霊を振り起されたので、 | 21:16 Yahweh stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians: | |
| 21:17彼らはユダに攻め上って、これを侵し、王の家にある貨財をことごとく奪い去り、またヨラムの子供と妻たちをも奪い去ったので、末の子エホアハズのほかには、ひとりも残った者がなかった。 | 21:17 and they came up against Judah, and broke into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons. | |
| 21:18このもろもろの事の後、主は彼を撃って内臓にいえがたい病気を起させられた。 | 21:18 After all this Yahweh struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease. | |
| 21:19時がたって、二年の終りになり、その内臓が病気のために出て、重い病苦によって死んだ。民は彼の先祖のために香をたいたように、彼のために香をたかなかった。 | 21:19 It happened, in process of time, at the end of two years, that his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died of severe diseases. His people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers. | |
| 21:20ヨラムはその位についた時三十二歳で、八年の間エルサレムで世を治め、ついに死んだ。ひとりも彼を惜しむ者がなかった。人々は彼をダビデの町に葬ったが、王たちの墓にではなかった。 | 21:20 Thirty-two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years: and he departed without being desired; and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings. | |
| 22:1エルサレムの民はヨラムの末の子アハジヤを彼の代りに王とした。かつてアラビヤびとと一緒に陣営に攻めてきた一隊の者が上の子たちをことごとく殺したので、ユダの王ヨラムの子アハジヤが王となったのである。 | 22:1 The inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his place; for the band of men who came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned. | |
| 22:2アハジヤは王となった時四十二歳で、エルサレムで一年の間世を治めた。その母はオムリの娘で名をアタリヤといった。 | 22:2 Forty-two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri. | |
| 22:3アハジヤもまたアハブの家の道に歩んだ。その母が彼の相談相手となって悪を行わせたからである。 | 22:3 He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab; for his mother was his counselor to do wickedly. | |
| 22:4彼はまたアハブの家がしたように主の目の前に悪を行った。すなわちその父が死んだ後、アハブの家の者がその相談役となったので、彼はついに自分を滅ぼすに至った。 | 22:4 He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as did the house of Ahab; for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction. | |
| 22:5アハジヤはまた彼らの勧めに従って、イスラエルの王アハブの子ヨラムと共にラモテ・ギレアデへ行き、スリヤの王ハザエルと戦ったが、スリヤびとはヨラムに傷を負わせた。 | 22:5 He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead: and the Syrians wounded Joram. | |
| 22:6そこでヨラムはスリヤの王ハザエルと戦った時、ラマで負ったその傷をいやすためにエズレルに帰った。ユダの王ヨラムの子アハジヤはアハブの子ヨラムが病気なのでエズレルに下ってこれを見舞った。 | 22:6 He returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick. | |
| 22:7アハジヤがヨラムを見舞に行ったことによって滅びに至ったのは神によって定められたことである。すなわち彼がそこに着いた時、ヨラムと一緒に出て、ニムシの子エヒウを迎えた。エヒウは主がアハブの家を断ち滅ぼすために油を注がれた者である。 | 22:7 Now the destruction of Ahaziah was of God, in that he went to Joram: for when he had come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom Yahweh had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab. | |
| 22:8エヒウはアハブの家を罰するにあたって、ユダのつかさたち、およびアハジヤの兄弟たちの子らがアハジヤに仕えているのを見たので、彼らをも殺した。 | 22:8 It happened, when Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, that he found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, ministering to Ahaziah, and killed them. | |
| 22:9アハジヤはサマリヤに隠れていたが、エヒウが彼を捜し求めたので、人々は彼を捕え、エヒウのもとに引いてきて、彼を殺した。ただし「彼は心をつくして主を求めたヨシャパテの子である」と人々は言ったのでこれを葬った。こうしてアハジヤの家には国を統べ治めうる者がなくなった。 | 22:9 He sought Ahaziah, and they caught him (now he was hiding in Samaria), and they brought him to Jehu, and killed him; and they buried him, for they said, "He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Yahweh with all his heart." The house of Ahaziah had no power to hold the kingdom. | |
| 22:10アハジヤの母アタリヤは自分の子の死んだのを見て、立ってユダの家の王子をことごとく滅ぼしたが、 | 22:10 Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal seed of the house of Judah. | |
| 22:11王の娘エホシバはアハジヤの子ヨアシを王の子たちの殺される者のうちから盗み取り、彼とそのうばを寝室においた。こうしてエホシバがヨアシをアタリヤから隠したので、アタリヤはヨアシを殺さなかった。エホシバはヨラム王の娘、またアハジヤの妹で、祭司エホヤダの妻である。 | 22:11 But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king's sons who were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah, so that she didn't kill him. | |
| 22:12こうしてヨアシは神の宮に隠れて彼らと共におること六年、その間アタリヤが国を治めた。 | 22:12 He was with them hidden in God's house six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land. | |
| 23:1第七年になって、エホヤダは勇気をだしてエロハムの子アザリヤ、ヨハナンの子イシマエル、オベデの子アザリヤ、アダヤの子マアセヤ、ジクリの子エリシャパテなどの百人の長たちを招いて契約を結ばせた。 | 23:1 In the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him. | |
| 23:2そこで彼らはユダを行きめぐって、ユダのすべての町からレビびとを集め、またイスラエルの氏族の長たちを集めて、エルサレムに来た。 | 23:2 They went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of fathers' households of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem. | |
| 23:3そしてその会衆は皆神の宮で王と契約を結んだ。その時エホヤダは彼らに言った、「主がダビデの子孫のことについて言われたように、王の子が位につくべきです。 | 23:3 All the assembly made a covenant with the king in God's house. He said to them, "Behold, the king's son shall reign, as Yahweh has spoken concerning the sons of David. | |
| 23:4あなたがたのなすべき事はこれです。すなわちあなたがた祭司およびレビびとの安息日にはいって来る者の、三分の一は門を守る者となり、 | 23:4 This is the thing that you shall do. A third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the thresholds. | |
| 23:5三分の一は王の家におり、三分の一は礎の門におり、民は皆、主の宮の庭にいなさい。 | 23:5 A third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation. All the people shall be in the courts of Yahweh's house. | |
| 23:6祭司と、勤めをするレビびとのほかは、だれも主の宮に、はいってはならない。彼らは聖なる者であるから、はいることができる。民は皆、主の命令を守らなければならない。 | 23:6 But let no one come into the house of Yahweh, except the priests, and those who minister of the Levites. They shall come in, for they are holy, but all the people shall follow Yahweh's instructions. | |
| 23:7レビびとはめいめい手に武器をとって王のまわりに立たなければならない。宮にはいる者をすべて殺しなさい。あなたがたは王がはいる時にも出る時にも、王と共にいなさい」。 | 23:7 The Levites shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever comes into the house, let him be slain. Be with the king when he comes in, and when he goes out." | |
| 23:8そこでレビびとおよびユダの人々は、祭司エホヤダがすべて命じたように行い、めいめいその組の者で、安息日にはいって来るべき者と、安息日に出て行くべき者を率いていた。祭司エホヤダが組の者を去らせなかったからである。 | 23:8 So the Levites and all Judah 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; for Jehoiada the priest didn't dismiss the shift. | |
| 23:9また祭司エホヤダは、神の宮にあるダビデ王のやりおよび大盾、小盾を百人の長たちに渡し、 | 23:9 Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in God's house. | |
| 23:10また王を守るために、すべての民にめいめい手に武器をとらせ、宮の南側から北側にわたって、祭壇と宮に沿って立たせた。 | 23:10 He set all the people, every man with his weapon 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. | |
| 23:11こうして王の子を連れ出して、これに冠をいただかせ、あかしの書を渡して王となし、エホヤダおよびその子たちが彼に油を注いだ。そして「王万歳」と言った。 | 23:11 Then they brought out the king's son, and put the crown on him, and gave him the testimony, and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons anointed him; and they said, "Long live the king!" | |
| 23:12アタリヤは民の走りながら王をほめる声を聞いたので、主の宮に入り、民の所へ行って、 | 23:12 When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of Yahweh: | |
| 23:13見ると、王は入口で柱のかたわらに立ち、王のかたわらには将軍たちとラッパ手が立っており、また国の民は皆喜んでラッパを吹き、歌をうたう者は楽器をもってさんびしていたので、アタリヤは衣を裂いて「反逆だ、反逆だ」と叫んだ。 | 23:13 and she looked, and, behold, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets; the singers also played musical instruments, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and said, "Treason! treason!" | |
| 23:14その時エホヤダは軍勢を統率する百人の長たちを呼び出し、「列の間から彼女を連れ出せ、彼女に従う者をつるぎで殺せ」と言った。祭司が彼女を主の宮で殺してはならないと言ったからである。 | 23:14 Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, "Bring her out between the ranks; and whoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword." For the priest said, "Don't kill her in the Yahweh's house." | |
| 23:15そこで人々は彼女に手をかけ、王の家の馬の門の入口まで連れて行き、その所で彼女を殺した。 | 23:15 So they made way for her. She went to the entrance of the horse gate to the king's house; and they killed her there. | |
| 23:16エホヤダは自分とすべての民と王との間に、彼らは皆、主の民となるとの契約を結んだ。 | 23:16 Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, and all the people, and the king, that they should be Yahweh's people. | |
| 23:17そこですべての民はバアルの家に行って、それをこわし、その祭壇とその像とを打ち砕き、バアルの祭司マッタンを祭壇の前で殺した。 | 23:17 All the people went to the house of Baal, and broke it down, and broke his altars and his images in pieces, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. | |
| 23:18エホヤダはまた主の宮の守衛を、祭司とレビびとの指揮のもとに置いた。このレビびとは昔ダビデがモーセの律法にしるされているように、喜びと歌とをもって主に燔祭をささげるために、主の宮に配置したものであって、今そのダビデの例にならったものである。 | 23:18 Jehoiada appointed the officers of the house of Yahweh under the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of Yahweh, to offer the burnt offerings of Yahweh, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, according to the order of David. | |
| 23:19彼はまた主の宮のもろもろの門に門衛を置き、汚れた者は何によって汚れた者でも、はいらせないようにした。 | 23:19 He set the porters at the gates of the house of Yahweh, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in. | |
| 23:20こうしてエホヤダは百人の長たち、貴族たち、民のつかさたちおよび国のすべての民を率いて、主の宮から王を連れ下り、上の門から王の家に進み、王を国の位につかせた。 | 23:20 He took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of Yahweh: and they came through the upper gate to the king's house, and set the king on the throne of the kingdom. | |
| 23:21国の民は皆喜んだ。町はアタリヤがつるぎで殺された後、穏やかであった。 | 23:21 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. Athaliah they had slain with the sword. | |
| 24:1ヨアシは位についた時七歳で、エルサレムで四十年の間、世を治めた。彼の母はベエルシバから出た者で名をヂビアといった。 | 24:1 Joash was seven years old when he began to reign; and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zibiah, of Beersheba. | |
| 24:2ヨアシは祭司エホヤダの世にある日の間は常に主の良しと見られることを行った。 | 24:2 Joash did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh all the days of Jehoiada the priest. | |
| 24:3エホヤダは彼のためにふたりの妻をめとり、彼に男子と女子が生れた。 | 24:3 Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he became the father of sons and daughters. | |
| 24:4この後ヨアシは主の宮を修繕しようと志して、 | 24:4 It happened after this, that Joash intended to restore the house of Yahweh. | |
| 24:5祭司とレビびとを集めて言った、「ユダの町々へ行って、あなたがたの神の宮を年々修繕する資金をすべてのイスラエルびとから集めなさい。その事を急いでしなさい」。ところがレビびとはこれを急いでしなかった。 | 24:5 He gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, "Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather money to repair the house of your God from all Israel from year to year. See that you expedite this matter." However the Levites didn't do it right away. | |
| 24:6それで王はかしらであるエホヤダを召して言った、「あなたはなぜレビびとに求めて、主のしもべモーセがあかしの幕屋のためにイスラエルの会衆に課した税金をユダとエルサレムから取り立てさせないのか」。 | 24:6 The king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said to him, "Why haven't you required of the Levites to bring in the tax of Moses the servant of Yahweh, and of the assembly of Israel, out of Judah and out of Jerusalem, for the tent of the testimony?" | |
| 24:7かの悪い女アタリヤの子らが神の宮に侵入して主の宮のもろもろの奉納物をとり、バアルのために用いたからである。 | 24:7 For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up God's house; and they also gave all the dedicated things of the house of Yahweh to the Baals. | |
| 24:8そこで王は命じて一個の箱を造らせ、これを主の宮の門の外に置き、 | 24:8 So the king commanded, and they made a chest, and set it outside at the gate of the house of Yahweh. | |
| 24:9ユダとエルサレムにふれて、神のしもべモーセが荒野でイスラエルに課した税金を主のために持ってこさせた。 | 24:9 They made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in for Yahweh the tax that Moses the servant of God laid on Israel in the wilderness. | |
| 24:10すべてのつかさたちおよびすべての民は皆喜んでその税金を持って来て、その箱に投げ入れたので、ついに箱はいっぱいになった。 | 24:10 All the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end. | |
| 24:11レビびとはその箱に金が多くあるのを見て、王の役人の所へ持って行くと、王の書記と祭司長の下役とが来て、その箱を傾け、これを取ってもとの所に返した。彼らは日々このようにして金をおびただしく集めた。 | 24:11 It was so, that whenever the chest was brought to the king's officers by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the chief priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to its place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance. | |
| 24:12王とエホヤダはこれを主の宮の工事をなす者に渡し、石工および木工を雇って、主の宮を修繕させ、また鉄工および青銅工を雇って、主の宮を修復させた。 | 24:12 The king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of Yahweh; and they hired masons and carpenters to restore the house of Yahweh, and also such as worked iron and brass to repair the house of Yahweh. | |
| 24:13工人たちは働いたので、修復の工事は彼らの手によってはかどり、神の宮を、もとの状態に復し、これを堅固にした。 | 24:13 So the workmen worked, and the work of repairing went forward in their hands, and they set up God's house in its state, and strengthened it. | |
| 24:14それをなし終ったとき、余った金を王とエホヤダの前に持って来たので、それをもって主の宮のために器物を造った。すなわち勤めの器、燔祭の器、香の皿、および金銀の器を造った。エホヤダの世にある日の間は、絶えず主の宮で燔祭をささげた。 | 24:14 When they had made an end, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, of which were made vessels for the house of Yahweh, even vessels with which to minister and to offer, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. They offered burnt offerings in the house of Yahweh continually all the days of Jehoiada. | |
| 24:15しかしエホヤダは年老い、日が満ちて死んだ。その死んだ時は百三十歳であった。 | 24:15 But Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died; one hundred thirty years old was he when he died. | |
| 24:16人々は彼をダビデの町で王たちの中に葬った。彼はイスラエルにおいて神とその宮とに良い事を行ったからである。 | 24:16 They buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, and toward God and his house. | |
| 24:17エホヤダの死んだ後、ユダのつかさたちが来て、うやうやしく王に敬意を表した。王は彼らに聞き従った。 | 24:17 Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king listened to them. | |
| 24:18彼らはその先祖の神、主の宮を捨てて、アシラ像および偶像に仕えたので、そのとがのために、怒りがユダとエルサレムに臨んだ。 | 24:18 They forsook the house of Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherim and the idols: and wrath came on Judah and Jerusalem for this their guiltiness. | |
| 24:19主は彼らをご自分に引き返そうとして、預言者たちをつかわし、彼らにむかってあかしをさせられたが、耳を傾けなかった。 | 24:19 Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again to Yahweh; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear. | |
| 24:20そこで神の霊が祭司エホヤダの子ゼカリヤに臨んだので、彼は民の前に立ち上がって言った、「神はこう仰せられる、『あなたがたが主の戒めを犯して、災を招くのはどういうわけであるか。あなたがたが主を捨てたために、主もあなたがたを捨てられたのである』」。 | 24:20 The Spirit of God came on Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest; and he stood above the people, and said to them, "Thus says God, 'Why do you disobey the commandments of Yahweh, so that you can't prosper? Because you have forsaken Yahweh, he has also forsaken you.'" | |
| 24:21しかし人々は彼を害しようと計り、王の命によって、石をもって彼を主の宮の庭で撃ち殺した。 | 24:21 They conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of Yahweh. | |
| 24:22このようにヨアシ王はゼカリヤの父エホヤダが自分に施した恵みを思わず、その子を殺した。ゼカリヤは死ぬ時、「どうぞ主がこれをみそなわして罰せられるように」と言った。 | 24:22 Thus Joash the king didn't remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son. When he died, he said, "May Yahweh look at it, and repay it." | |
| 24:23年の終りになって、スリヤの軍勢はヨアシにむかって攻め上り、ユダとエルサレムに来て、民のつかさたちをことごとく民のうちから滅ぼし、そのぶんどり物を皆ダマスコの王に送った。 | 24:23 It happened at the end of the year, that the army of the Syrians came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all their spoil to the king of Damascus. | |
| 24:24この時スリヤの軍勢は少数で来たのであるが、主は大軍を彼らの手に渡された。これは彼らがその先祖の神、主を捨てたためである。このように彼らはヨアシを罰した。 | 24:24 For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men; and Yahweh delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken Yahweh, the God of their fathers. So they executed judgment on Joash. | |
| 24:25スリヤ軍はヨアシに大傷を負わせて捨て去ったが、ヨアシの家来たちは祭司エホヤダの子の血のために、党を結んで彼にそむき、彼を床の上に殺して、死なせた。人々は彼をダビデの町に葬ったが、王の墓には葬らなかった。 | 24:25 When they were departed for him (for they left him very sick), his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed, and he died; and they buried him in the city of David, but they didn't bury him in the tombs of the kings. | |
| 24:26党を結んで彼にそむいた者は、アンモンの女シメアテの子ザバデおよびモアブの女シムリテの子ヨザバデであった。 | 24:26 These are those who conspired against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith the Moabitess. | |
| 24:27ヨアシの子らのこと、ヨアシに対する多くの預言および神の宮の修理の事などは、列王の書の注釈にしるされている。ヨアシの子アマジヤが彼に代って王となった。 | 24:27 Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens laid on him, and the rebuilding of God's house, behold, they are written in the commentary of the book of the kings. Amaziah his son reigned in his place. | |
| 25:1アマジヤ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者で、名をエホアダンといった。 | 25:1 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem. | |
| 25:2アマジヤは主の良しと見られることを行ったが、全き心をもってではなかった。 | 25:2 He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, but not with a perfect heart. | |
| 25:3彼は、国が彼の手のうちに強くなったとき、父ヨアシ王を殺害した家来たちを殺した。 | 25:3 Now it happened, when the kingdom was established to him, that he killed his servants who had killed the king his father. | |
| 25:4しかしそ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れるべきではない。子は父のゆえに殺されるべきではない。おのおの自分の罪のゆえに殺されるべきである」と言われている。 | 25:4 But he didn't put their children to death, but did according to that which is written in the law in the book of Moses, as Yahweh commanded, saying, "The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin." | |
| 25:5アマジヤはユダの人々を集め、その氏族に従って、千人の長に付属させ、または百人の長に付属させた。ユダとベニヤミンのすべてに行った。そして二十歳以上の者を数えたところ、やりと盾をとって戦いに臨みうる精兵三十万人を得た。 | 25:5 Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and ordered them according to their fathers' houses, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, even all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upward, and found them three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go forth to war, who could handle spear and shield. | |
| 25:6彼はまた銀百タラントをもってイスラエルから大勇士十万人を雇った。 | 25:6 He hired also one hundred thousand mighty men of valor out of Israel for one hundred talents of silver. | |
| 25:7その時、神の人が彼の所に来て言った、「王よ、イスラエルの軍勢をあなたと共に行かせてはいけません。主はイスラエルびと、すなわちエフライムのすべての人々とは共におられないからです。 | 25:7 A man of God came to him, saying, "O king, don't let the army of Israel go with you; for Yahweh is not with Israel, with all the children of Ephraim. | |
| 25:8もしあなたがこのような方法で戦いに強くなろうと思うならば、神はあなたを敵の前に倒されるでしょう。神には助ける力があり、また倒す力があるからです」。 | 25:8 But if you will go, take action, be strong for the battle. God will overthrow you before the enemy; for God has power to help, and to overthrow." | |
| 25:9アマジヤは神の人に言った、「それではわたしがイスラエルの軍隊に与えた百タラントをどうしましょうか」。神の人は答えた、「主はそれよりも多いものをあなたにお与えになることができます」。 | 25:9 Amaziah said to the man of God, "But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel?" The man of God answered, "Yahweh is able to give you much more than this." | |
| 25:10そこでアマジヤはエフライムから来て自分に加わった軍隊を分離して帰らせたので、彼らはユダに対して激しい怒りを発し、火のように怒って自分の所に帰った。 | 25:10 Then Amaziah separated them, the army that had come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: therefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger. | |
| 25:11しかしアマジヤは勇気を出し、その民を率いて塩の谷へ行き、セイルびと一万人を撃ち殺した。 | 25:11 Amaziah took courage, and led forth his people, and went to the Valley of Salt, and struck ten thousand of the children of Seir. | |
| 25:12またユダの人々はこのほかに一万人をいけどり、岩の頂に引いて行って岩の頂から彼らを投げ落したので、皆こなごなに砕けた。 | 25:12 The children of Judah carry away ten thousand alive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and threw them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were broken in pieces. | |
| 25:13ところがアマジヤが自分と共に戦いに行かせないで帰してやった兵卒らが、サマリヤからベテホロンまでの、ユダの町々を襲って三千人を殺し、多くの物を奪い取った。 | 25:13 But the men of the army whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell on the cities of Judah, from Samaria even to Beth Horon, and struck of them three thousand, and took much spoil. | |
| 25:14アマジヤはエドムびとを殺して帰った時、セイルびとの神々を携えてきて、これを安置して自分の神とし、これを礼拝し、これにささげ物をなした。 | 25:14 Now it happened, after that Amaziah had come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense to them. | |
| 25:15それゆえ、主はアマジヤに向かって怒りを発し、預言者を彼につかわして言わせられた、「かの民の神々は自分の民をあなたの手から救うことができなかったのに、あなたはどうしてそれを求めたのか」。 | 25:15 Therefore the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent to him a prophet, who said to him, "Why have you sought after the gods of the people, which have not delivered their own people out of your hand?" | |
| 25:16彼がこう王に語ると、王は彼に、「われわれはあなたを王の顧問にしたのですか。やめなさい。あなたはどうして殺されようとするのですか」と言ったので、預言者はやめて言った、「あなたはこの事を行って、わたしのいさめを聞きいれないゆえ、神はあなたを滅ぼそうと定められたことをわたしは知っています」。 | 25:16 It happened, as he talked with him, that the king said to him, "Have we made you one of the king's counselors? Stop! Why should you be struck down?" Then the prophet stopped, and said, "I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this, and have not listened to my counsel." | |
| 25:17そこでユダの王アマジヤは協議の結果、人を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つかわし、「さあ、われわれは互に顔をあわせよう」と言わせたところ、 | 25:17 Then Amaziah king of Judah consulted his advisers, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, "Come, let us look one another in the face." | |
| 25:18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、「レバノンのいばらが、かつてレバノンの香柏に、『あなたの娘をわたしのむすこの妻に与えよ』と言い送ったところが、レバノンの野獣が通りかかって、そのいばらを踏み倒した。 | 25:18 Joash 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 his wife; then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled down the thistle. | |
| 25:19あなたは『見よ、わたしはエドムを撃ち破った』と言って心に誇り高ぶっている。しかしあなたは自分の家にとどまっていなさい。どうしてあなたは災を引き起して、自分もユダも共に滅びようとするのか」。 | 25:19 You say to yourself that you have struck Edom; and your heart lifts you up to boast. Now stay at home. Why should you meddle with trouble, that you should fall, even you, and Judah with you?'" | |
| 25:20しかしアマジヤは聞きいれなかった。これは神から出たのであって、彼らがエドムの神々を求めたので神は彼らを敵の手に渡されるためである。 | 25:20 But Amaziah would not listen; for it was of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought after the gods of Edom. | |
| 25:21そこでイスラエルの王ヨアシは上って来て、ユダのベテシメシでユダの王アマジヤと顔を合わせたが、 | 25:21 So Joash 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. | |
| 25:22ユダはイスラエルに撃ち破られ、おのおのその天幕に逃げ帰った。 | 25:22 Judah was defeated by Israel; and they fled every man to his tent. | |
| 25:23その時イスラエルの王ヨアシはエホアハズ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て、エルサレムに引いて行き、エルサレムの城壁をエフライム門から、隅の門まで四百キュビトほどをこわし、 | 25:23 Joash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth Shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits. | |
| 25:24また神の宮のうちで、オベデエドムが守っていたすべての金銀およびもろもろの器物ならびに王の家の財宝を奪い、また人質をとって、サマリヤに帰った。 | 25:24 He took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in God's house with Obed-Edom, and the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria. | |
| 25:25ユダの王ヨアシの子アマジヤはイスラエルの王エホアハズの子ヨアシが死んで後なお十五年生きながらえた。 | 25:25 Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years. | |
| 25:26アマジヤのその他の始終の行為は、ユダとイスラエルの列王の書にしるされているではないか。 | 25:26 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, aren't they written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel? | |
| 25:27アマジヤがそむいて、主に従わなくなった時から、人々はエルサレムにおいて党を結び、彼に敵したので、彼はラキシに逃げて行ったが、その人々はラキシに人をやって、彼をその所で殺させた。 | 25:27 Now from the time that Amaziah turned away from following Yahweh, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. He fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and killed him there. | |
| 25:28人々はこれを馬に負わせて持ってきて、ユダの町でその先祖たちと共にこれを葬った。 | 25:28 They brought him on horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah. | |
| 26:1そこでユダの民は皆ウジヤをとって王となし、その父アマジヤに代らせた。時に十六歳であった。 | 26:1 All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah. | |
| 26:2彼はエラテを建てて、これをふたたびユダのものにした。これはかの王がその先祖たちと共に眠った後であった。 | 26:2 He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers. | |
| 26:3ウジヤは王となった時十六歳で、エルサレムで五十二年の間世を治めた。その母はエルサレムの者で名をエコリヤといった。 | 26:3 Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jechiliah, of Jerusalem. | |
| 26:4ウジヤは父アマジヤがしたように、すべて主の良しと見られることを行った。 | 26:4 He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that his father Amaziah had done. | |
| 26:5彼は神を恐れることを自分に教えたゼカリヤの世にある日の間、神を求めることに努めた。彼が主を求めた間、神は彼を栄えさせられた。 | 26:5 He set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the vision of God: and as long as he sought Yahweh, God made him to prosper. | |
| 26:6彼は出てペリシテびとと戦い、ガテの城壁、ヤブネの城壁およびアシドドの城壁をくずし、アシドドの地とペリシテびとのなかに町を建てた。 | 26:6 He went forth and warred against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities in the country of Ashdod, and among the Philistines. | |
| 26:7神は彼を助けてペリシテびとと、グルバアルに住むアラビヤびとおよびメウニびとを攻め撃たせられた。 | 26:7 God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who lived in Gur Baal, and the Meunim. | |
| 26:8アンモンびとはウジヤにみつぎを納めた。ウジヤは非常に強くなったので、その名はエジプトの入口までも広まった。 | 26:8 The Ammonites gave tribute to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt; for he grew exceeding strong. | |
| 26:9ウジヤはまたエルサレムの隅の門、谷の門および城壁の曲りかどにやぐらを建てて、これを堅固にした。 | 26:9 Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them. | |
| 26:10彼はまた荒野にやぐらを建て、また多くの水ためを掘った。彼は平野にも平地にもたくさんの家畜をもっていたからである。彼はまた農事を好んだので、山々および肥えた畑には農夫とぶどうをつくる者をもっていた。 | 26:10 He built towers in the wilderness, and dug out many cisterns, for he had much livestock; in the lowland also, and in the plain: and he had farmers and vineyard keepers in the mountains and in the fruitful fields; for he loved farming. | |
| 26:11ウジヤはまたよく戦う一軍団を持っていた。彼らは書記エイエルと、つかさマアセヤによって調べた数に従って組々に分れ、皆王の軍長のひとりハナニヤの指揮下にあった。 | 26:11 Moreover Uzziah had an army of fighting men, who went out to war by bands, according to the number of their reckoning made by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king's captains. | |
| 26:12その氏族の長である大勇士の数は合わせて二千六百人であった。 | 26:12 The whole number of the heads of fathers' households, even the mighty men of valor, was two thousand and six hundred. | |
| 26:13その指揮下にある軍勢は三十万七千五百人で、皆大いなる力をもって戦い、王を助けて敵に当った。 | 26:13 Under their hand was an army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, who made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy. | |
| 26:14ウジヤはその全軍のために盾、やり、かぶと、よろい、弓および石投げの石を備えた。 | 26:14 Uzziah prepared for them, even for all the army, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, and stones for slinging. | |
| 26:15彼はまたエルサレムで技術者の考案した機械を造って、これをやぐらおよび城壁のすみずみにすえ、これをもって矢および大石を射出した。こうして彼の名声は遠くまで広まった。彼が驚くほど神の助けを得て強くなったからである。 | 26:15 He made in Jerusalem engines, invented by skillful men, to be on the towers and on the battlements, with which to shoot arrows and great stones. His name spread far abroad; for he was marvelously helped, until he was strong. | |
| 26:16ところが彼は強くなるに及んで、その心に高ぶり、ついに自分を滅ぼすに至った。すなわち彼はその神、主にむかって罪を犯し、主の宮にはいって香の祭壇の上に香をたこうとした。 | 26:16 But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up, so that he did corruptly, and he trespassed against Yahweh his God; for he went into Yahweh's temple to burn incense on the altar of incense. | |
| 26:17その時、祭司アザリヤは主の祭司である勇士八十人を率いて、彼のあとに従ってはいり、 | 26:17 Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of Yahweh, who were valiant men: | |
| 26:18ウジヤ王を引き止めて言った、「ウジヤよ、主に香をたくことはあなたのなすべきことではなく、ただアロンの子孫で、香をたくために清められた祭司たちのすることです。すぐ聖所から出なさい。あなたは罪を犯しました。あなたは主なる神から栄えを得ることはできません」。 | 26:18 and they resisted Uzziah the king, and said to him, "It isn't for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to Yahweh, but for the priests the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary; for you have trespassed; neither shall it be for your honor from Yahweh God." | |
| 26:19するとウジヤは怒りを発し、香炉を手にとって香をたこうとしたが、彼が祭司に向かって怒りを発している間に、らい病がその額に起った。時に彼は主の宮で祭司たちの前、香の祭壇のかたわらにいた。 | 26:19 Then Uzziah was angry; and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense; and while he was angry with the priests, the leprosy broke forth in his forehead before the priests in the house of Yahweh, beside the altar of incense. | |
| 26:20祭司の長アザリヤおよびすべての祭司たちが彼を見ると、彼の額にらい病が生じていたので、急いで彼をそこから追い出した。彼自身もまた主に撃たれたことを知って、急いで出て行った。 | 26:20 Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked on him, and behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out quickly from there; yes, himself hurried also to go out, because Yahweh had struck him. | |
| 26:21ウジヤ王は、死ぬ日までらい病人であった。彼はらい病人であったので、離れ殿に住んだ。主の宮から断たれたからである。その子ヨタムが王の家をつかさどり、国の民を治めた。 | 26:21 Uzziah the king was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of Yahweh: and Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land. | |
| 26:22ウジヤのその他の始終の行為は、アモツの子預言者イザヤがこれを書きしるした。 | 26:22 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, wrote. | |
| 26:23ウジヤは先祖たちと共に眠ったので、人々は「彼はらい病人である」と言って、王たちの墓に連なる墓地に、その先祖たちと共に葬った。その子ヨタムが彼に代って王となった。 | 26:23 So Uzziah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the field of burial which belonged to the kings; for they said, "He is a leper." Jotham his son reigned in his place. | |
| 27:1ヨタムは王となった時二十五歳で、十六年の間エルサレムで世を治めた。その母はザドクの娘で名をエルシャといった。 | 27:1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok. | |
| 27:2ヨタムはその父ウジヤがしたように主の良しと見られることをした。しかし主の宮には、はいらなかった。民はなお悪を行った。 | 27:2 He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that his father Uzziah had done: however he didn't enter into Yahweh's temple. The people still did corruptly. | |
| 27:3彼は主の宮の上の門を建て、オペルの石がきを多く築き増し、 | 27:3 He built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh, and on the wall of Ophel he built much. | |
| 27:4またユダの山地に数個の町を建て、林の間に城とやぐらを築いた。 | 27:4 Moreover he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers. | |
| 27:5彼はアンモンびとの王と戦ってこれに勝った。その年アンモンの人々は銀百タラント、小麦一万コル、大麦一万コルを彼に贈った。アンモンの人々は第二年にも第三年にも同じように彼に納めた。 | 27:5 He fought also with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. The children of Ammon gave him the same year one hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The children of Ammon gave that much to him in the second year also, and in the third. | |
| 27:6ヨタムはその神、主の前にその行いを堅くしたので力ある者となった。 | 27:6 So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Yahweh his God. | |
| 27:7ヨタムのその他の行為、そのすべての戦いおよびその行いなどは、イスラエルとユダの列王の書にしるされている。 | 27:7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. | |
| 27:8彼は王となった時、二十五歳で、十六年の間エルサレムで世を治めた。 | 27:8 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. | |
| 27:9ヨタムはその先祖と共に眠ったので、ダビデの町に葬られ、その子アハズが彼に代って王となった。 | 27:9 Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his place. | |
| 28:1アハズは王となった時二十歳で、十六年の間エルサレムで世を治めたが、その父ダビデとは違って、主の良しと見られることを行わず、 | 28:1 Ahaz was twenty years old 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, like David his father; | |
| 28:2イスラエルの王たちの道に歩み、またもろもろのバアルのために鋳た像を造り、 | 28:2 but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for the Baals. | |
| 28:3ベンヒンノムの谷で香をたき、その子らを火に焼いて供え物とするなど、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行いにならい、 | 28:3 Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel. | |
| 28:4また高き所の上、丘の上、すべての青木の下で犠牲をささげ、香をたいた。 | 28:4 He sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree. | |
| 28:5それゆえ、その神、主は彼をスリヤの王の手に渡されたので、スリヤびとは彼を撃ち破り、その民を多く捕虜として、ダマスコに引いて行った。彼はまたイスラエルの王の手にも渡されたので、イスラエルの王も彼を撃ち破って大いに殺した。 | 28:5 Therefore Yahweh his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they struck him, and carried away of his a great multitude of captives, and brought them to Damascus. He was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who struck him with a great slaughter. | |
| 28:6すなわちレマリヤの子ペカはユダで一日のうちに十二万人を殺した。皆勇士であった。これは彼らがその先祖の神、主を捨てたためである。 | 28:6 For Pekah the son of Remaliah killed in Judah one hundred twenty thousand in one day, all of them valiant men; because they had forsaken Yahweh, the God of their fathers. | |
| 28:7その時、エフライムの勇士ジクリという者が王の子マアセヤ、宮内大臣アズリカムおよび王に次ぐ人エルカナを殺した。 | 28:7 Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah who was next to the king. | |
| 28:8イスラエルの人々はついにその兄弟のうちから婦人ならびに男子、女子など二十万人を捕虜にし、また多くのぶんどり物をとり、そのぶんどり物をサマリヤに持って行った。 | 28:8 The children of Israel carried away captive of their brothers two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria. | |
| 28:9その時そこに名をオデデという主の預言者があって、サマリヤに帰って来た軍勢の前に進み出て言った、「見よ、あなたがたの先祖の神、主はユダを怒って、これをあなたがたの手に渡されたが、あなたがたは天に達するほどの怒りをもってこれを殺した。 | 28:9 But a prophet of Yahweh was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria, and said to them, "Behold, because Yahweh, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah, he has delivered them into your hand, and you have slain them in a rage which has reached up to heaven. | |
| 28:10そればかりでなく、あなたがたは今、ユダとエルサレムの人々を従わせて、自分の男女の奴隷にしようと思っている。しかしあなたがた自身もまた、あなたがたの神、主に罪を犯しているではないか。 | 28:10 Now you purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondservants and bondmaids for yourselves. Aren't there even with you trespasses of your own against Yahweh your God? | |
| 28:11いまわたしに聞き、あなたがたがその兄弟のうちから捕えて来た捕虜を放ち帰らせなさい。主の激しい怒りがあなたがたの上に臨んでいるからです」。 | 28:11 Now hear me therefore, and send back the captives, that you have taken captive from your brothers; for the fierce wrath of Yahweh is on you." | |
| 28:12そこでエフライムびとのおもなる人々、すなわちヨハナンの子アザリヤ、メシレモテの子ベレキヤ、シャルムの子ヒゼキヤ、ハデライの子アマサらもまた、戦争から帰った者どもに向かって立ちあがり、 | 28:12 Then some of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against those who came from the war, | |
| 28:13彼らに言った、「捕虜をここに引き入れてはならない。あなたがたはわたしどもに主に対するとがを得させて、さらにわれわれの罪とがを増し加えようとしている。われわれのとがは大きく、激しい怒りがイスラエルの上に臨んでいるからです」。 | 28:13 and said to them, "You shall not bring in the captives here: for you purpose that which will bring on us a trespass against Yahweh, to add to our sins and to our trespass; for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel." | |
| 28:14そこで兵卒どもがその捕虜とぶんどり物をつかさたちと全会衆の前に捨てておいたので、 | 28:14 So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the assembly. | |
| 28:15前に名をあげた人々が立って捕虜を受け取り、ぶんどり物のうちから衣服をとって、裸の者に着せ、また、くつをはかせ、食い飲みさせ、油を注ぎなどし、その弱い者を皆ろばに乗せ、こうして彼らをしゅろの町エリコに連れて行って、その兄弟たちに渡し、そしてサマリヤに帰って来た。 | 28:15 The men who have been mentioned by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all who were naked among them, dressed them, gave them sandals, and gave them something to eat and to drink, anointed them, carried all the feeble of them on donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brothers. Then they returned to Samaria. | |
| 28:16その時アハズ王は人をアッスリヤの王につかわして助けを求めさせた。 | 28:16 At that time king Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him. | |
| 28:17エドムびとが再び侵入してユダを撃ち、民を捕え去ったからである。 | 28:17 For again the Edomites had come and struck Judah, and carried away captives. | |
| 28:18ペリシテびともまた平野の町々およびユダのネゲブの町々を侵して、ベテシメシ、アヤロン、ゲデロテおよびソコとその村里、テムナとその村里、ギムゾとその村里を取って、そこに住んだ。 | 28:18 The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland, and of the South of Judah, and had taken Beth Shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Soco with its towns, and Timnah with its towns, Gimzo also and its towns: and they lived there. | |
| 28:19これはイスラエルの王アハズのゆえに、主がユダを低くされたのであって、彼がユダのうちにみだらなことを行い、主に向かって大いに罪を犯したからである。 | 28:19 For Yahweh brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he had dealt wantonly in Judah, and trespassed severely against Yahweh. | |
| 28:20アッスリヤの王テルガデ・ピルネセルは彼の所に来たが、彼に力を添えないで、かえって彼を悩ました。 | 28:20 Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria came to him, and distressed him, but didn't strengthen him. | |
| 28:21アハズは主の宮と王の家、およびつかさたちの家の物を取ってアッスリヤの王に与えたが、それはアハズの助けにはならなかった。 | 28:21 For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of Yahweh, and out of the house of the king and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria: but it didn't help him. | |
| 28:22このアハズ王はその悩みの時にあたって、ますます主に罪を犯した。 | 28:22 In the time of his distress, he trespassed yet more against Yahweh, this same king Ahaz. | |
| 28:23すなわち、彼は自分を撃ったダマスコの神々に、犠牲をささげて言った、「スリヤの王たちの神々はその王たちを助けるから、わたしもそれに犠牲をささげよう。そうすれば彼らはわたしを助けるであろう」と。しかし、彼らはかえってアハズとイスラエル全国とを倒す者となった。 | 28:23 For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which struck him; and he said, "Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, so I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me." But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel. | |
| 28:24アハズは神の宮の器物を集めて、神の宮の器物を切り破り、主の宮の戸を閉じ、エルサレムのすべてのすみずみに祭壇を造り、 | 28:24 Ahaz gathered together the vessels of God's house, and cut in pieces the vessels of God's house, and shut up the doors of the house of Yahweh; and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem. | |
| 28:25ユダのすべての町々に高き所を造って、他の神々に香をたきなどして、先祖の神、主の怒りを引き起した。 | 28:25 In every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked to anger Yahweh, the God of his fathers. | |
| 28:26アハズのその他の始終の行為およびそのすべての行動は、ユダとイスラエルの列王の書にしるされている。 | 28:26 Now the rest of his acts, and all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. | |
| 28:27アハズはその先祖たちと共に眠ったので、エルサレムの町にこれを葬った。しかし、イスラエルの王たちの墓には持って行かなかった。その子ヒゼキヤが彼に代って王となった。 | 28:27 Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem; for they didn't bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place. | |
| 29:1ヒゼキヤ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。その母はアビヤと言って、ゼカリヤの娘である。 | 29:1 Hezekiah began to reign when he was twenty-five years old; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah. | |
| 29:2ヒゼキヤは父ダビデがすべてなしたように主の良しと見られることをした。 | 29:2 He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that David his father had done. | |
| 29:3彼はその治世の第一年の一月に主の宮の戸を開き、かつこれを繕った。 | 29:3 He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of Yahweh, and repaired them. | |
| 29:4彼は祭司とレビびとを連れていって、東の広場に集め、 | 29:4 He brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the broad place on the east, | |
| 29:5彼らに言った、「レビびとよ、聞きなさい。あなたがたは今、身を清めて、あなたがたの先祖の神、主の宮を清め、聖所から汚れを除き去りなさい。 | 29:5 and said to them, "Listen to me, you Levites! Now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of Yahweh, the God of your fathers, and carry out the filthiness out of the holy place. | |
| 29:6われわれの先祖は罪を犯し、われわれの神、主の悪と見られることを行って、主を捨て、主のすまいに顔をそむけ、うしろを向けた。 | 29:6 For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of Yahweh, and turned their backs. | |
| 29:7また廊の戸を閉じ、ともしびを消し、聖所でイスラエルの神に香をたかず、燔祭をささげなかった。 | 29:7 Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel. | |
| 29:8それゆえ、主の怒りはユダとエルサレムに臨み、あなたがたが目に見るように、主は彼らを恐れと驚きと物笑いにされた。 | 29:8 Therefore the wrath of Yahweh was on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has delivered them to be tossed back and forth, to be an astonishment, and a hissing, as you see with your eyes. | |
| 29:9見よ、われわれの父たちはつるぎにたおれ、われわれのむすこたち、むすめたち、妻たちはこれがために捕虜となった。 | 29:9 For, behold, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this. | |
| 29:10今わたしは、イスラエルの神、主と契約を結ぶ志をもっている。そうすればその激しい怒りは、われわれを離れるであろう。 | 29:10 Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Yahweh, the God of Israel, that his fierce anger may turn away from us. | |
| 29:11わが子らよ、今は怠ってはならない。主はあなたがたを選んで、主の前に立って仕えさせ、ご自分に仕える者となし、また香をたく者とされたからである」。 | 29:11 My sons, don't be negligent now; for Yahweh has chosen you to stand before him, to minister to him, and that you should be his ministers, and burn incense." | |
| 29:12そこでレビびとは立ち上がった。すなわちコハテびとの子孫のうちでは、アマサイの子マハテおよびアザリヤの子ヨエル。メラリの子孫では、アブデの子キシおよびエハレレルの子アザリヤ。ゲルションびとのうちでは、ジンマの子ヨアおよびヨアの子エデン。 | 29:12 Then the Levites arose, Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah; | |
| 29:13エリザパンの子孫のうちでは、シムリとエイエル。アサフの子孫のうちでは、ゼカリヤとマッタニヤ。 | 29:13 and of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeuel; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah; | |
| 29:14ヘマンの子孫のうちでは、エヒエルとシメイ。エドトンの子孫のうちでは、シマヤとウジエルである。 | 29:14 and of the sons of Heman, Jehuel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel. | |
| 29:15彼らはその兄弟たちを集めて身を清め、主の言葉による王の命令に従って、主の宮を清めるためにはいって来た。 | 29:15 They gathered their brothers, and sanctified themselves, and went in, according to the commandment of the king by the words of Yahweh, to cleanse the house of Yahweh. | |
| 29:16祭司たちが主の宮の奥にはいってこれを清め、主の宮にあった汚れた物をことごとく主の宮の庭に運び出すと、レビびとはそれを受けて外に出し、キデロン川に持って行った。 | 29:16 The priests went in to the inner part of the house of Yahweh, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in Yahweh's temple into the court of the house of Yahweh. The Levites took it, to carry it out abroad to the brook Kidron. | |
| 29:17彼らは正月の元日に清めることを始めて、その月の八日に主の宮の廊に達した。それから主の宮を清めるのに八日を費し、正月の十六日にこれを終った。 | 29:17 Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of Yahweh; and they sanctified the house of Yahweh in eight days: and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end. | |
| 29:18そこで彼らはヒゼキヤ王の所へ行って言った、「われわれは主の宮をことごとく清め、また燔祭の壇とそのすべての器物、および供えのパンの机とそのすべての器物とを清めました。 | 29:18 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king within the palace, and said, "We have cleansed all the house of Yahweh, and the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels, and the table of show bread, with all its vessels. | |
| 29:19またアハズ王がその治世に罪を犯して捨てたすべての器物をも整えて清めました。それらは主の祭壇の前にあります」。 | 29:19 Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign threw away when he trespassed, have we prepared and sanctified; and behold, they are before the altar of Yahweh." | |
| 29:20そこでヒゼキヤ王は朝早く起きいで、町のつかさたちを集めて、主の宮に上って行き、 | 29:20 Then Hezekiah the king arose early, and gathered the princes of the city, and went up to the house of Yahweh. | |
| 29:21雄牛七頭、雄羊七頭、小羊七頭、雄やぎ七頭を引いてこさせ、国と聖所とユダのためにこれを罪祭とし、アロンの子孫である祭司たちに命じてこれを主の祭壇の上にささげさせた。 | 29:21 They brought seven bulls, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven male goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom and for the sanctuary and for Judah. He commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of Yahweh. | |
| 29:22すなわち、雄牛をほふると、祭司たちはその血を受けて祭壇にふりかけ、また雄羊をほふると、その血を祭壇にふりかけ、また小羊をほふると、その血を祭壇にふりかけた。 | 29:22 So they killed the bulls, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: and they killed the rams, and sprinkled the blood on the altar: they killed also the lambs, and sprinkled the blood on the altar. | |
| 29:23そして罪祭の雄やぎを王と会衆の前に引いて来たので、彼らはその上に手を置いた。 | 29:23 They brought near the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly; and they laid their hands on them: | |
| 29:24そして祭司たちはこれをほふり、その血を罪祭として祭壇の上にささげてイスラエル全国のためにあがないをした。これは王がイスラエル全国のために燔祭および罪祭をささげることを命じたためである。 | 29:24 and the priests killed them, and they made a sin offering with their blood on the altar, to make atonement for all Israel; for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel. | |
| 29:25王はまたレビびとを主の宮に置き、ダビデおよび王の先見者ガドと預言者ナタンの命令に従って、これにシンバル、立琴および琴をとらせた。これは主がその預言者によって命じられたところである。 | 29:25 He set the Levites in the house of Yahweh with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was of Yahweh by his prophets. | |
| 29:26こうしてレビびとはダビデの楽器をとり、祭司はラッパをとって立った。 | 29:26 The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets. | |
| 29:27そこでヒゼキヤは燔祭を祭壇の上にささげることを命じた。燔祭をささげ始めた時、主の歌をうたい、ラッパを吹き、イスラエルの王ダビデの楽器をならし始めた。 | 29:27 Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song of Yahweh began also, and the trumpets, together with the instruments of David king of Israel. | |
| 29:28そして会衆は皆礼拝し、歌うたう者は歌をうたい、ラッパ手はラッパを吹き鳴らし、燔祭が終るまですべてこのようであったが、 | 29:28 All the assembly worshiped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished. | |
| 29:29ささげる事が終ると、王および彼と共にいた者はみな身をかがめて礼拝した。 | 29:29 When they had made an end of offering, the king and all who were present with him bowed themselves and worshiped. | |
| 29:30またヒゼキヤ王およびつかさたちはレビびとに命じて、ダビデと先見者アサフの言葉をもって主をさんびさせた。彼らは喜んでさんびし、頭をさげて礼拝した。 | 29:30 Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praises to Yahweh with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. They sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshiped. | |
| 29:31その時、ヒゼキヤは言った、「あなたがたはすでに主に仕えるために身を清めたのであるから、進みよって、主の宮に犠牲と感謝の供え物を携えて来なさい」と。そこで会衆は犠牲と感謝の供え物を携えて来た。また志ある者は皆燔祭を携えて来た。 | 29:31 Then Hezekiah answered, "Now you have consecrated yourselves to Yahweh; come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of Yahweh." The assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings. | |
| 29:32会衆の携えて来た燔祭の数は雄牛七十頭、雄羊百頭、小羊二百頭、これらは皆主に燔祭としてささげるものであった。 | 29:32 The number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to Yahweh. | |
| 29:33また奉納物は牛六百頭、小羊三千頭であった。 | 29:33 The consecrated things were six hundred head of cattle and three thousand sheep. | |
| 29:34ところが祭司が少なくてその燔祭の物の皮を、はぎつくすことができなかったので、その兄弟であるレビびとがこれを助けて、そのわざをなし終え、その間に他の祭司たちは身を清めた。これはレビびとが祭司たちよりも、身を清めることに、きちょうめんであったからである。 | 29:34 But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: therefore their brothers the Levites helped them, until the work was ended, and until the priests had sanctified themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests. | |
| 29:35このほかおびただしい燔祭があり、また、酬恩祭の脂肪および燔祭の灌祭もあった。こうして、主の宮の勤めは回復された。 | 29:35 Also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and with the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of Yahweh was set in order. | |
| 29:36この事は、にわかになされたけれども、神がこのように民のために備えをされたので、ヒゼキヤおよびすべての民は喜んだ。 | 29:36 Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, because of that which God had prepared for the people: for the thing was done suddenly. | |
| 30:1ヒゼキヤはイスラエルとユダにあまねく人をつかわし、また手紙をエフライムとマナセに書き送り、エルサレムにある主の宮に来て、イスラエルの神、主に過越の祭を行うように勧めた。 | 30:1 Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of Yahweh at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to Yahweh, the God of Israel. | |
| 30:2王はすでにつかさたちおよびエルサレムにおる全会衆に計って、二月に過越の祭を行うことを定めた。 | 30:2 For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the assembly in Jerusalem, to keep the Passover in the second month. | |
| 30:3 これは身を清めた祭司の数が足らず、民もまた、エルサレムに集まらなかったので、正月にこれを行うことができなかったからである | 30:3 For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem. | |
| 30:4この事が、王にも全会衆にも良かったので、 | 30:4 The thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly. | |
| 30:5この事を定めて、ベエルシバからダンまでイスラエルにあまねくふれ示し、エルサレムに来て、イスラエルの神、主に過越の祭を行うことを勧めた。これはしるされているように、これを行う者が多くなかったゆえである。 | 30:5 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the Passover to Yahweh, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem: for they had not kept it in great numbers in such sort as it is written. | |
| 30:6そこで飛脚たちは、王とそのつかさたちから受けた手紙をもって、イスラエルとユダをあまねく行き巡り、王の命を伝えて言った、「イスラエルの人々よ、あなたがたはアブラハム、イサク、イスラエルの神、主に立ち返りなさい。そうすれば主は、アッスリヤの王たちの手からのがれた残りのあなたがたに、帰られるでしょう。 | 30:6 So the couriers went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, "You children of Israel, turn again to Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may return to the remnant that have escaped of you out of the hand of the kings of Assyria. | |
| 30:7あなたがたの父たちおよび兄弟たちのようになってはならない。彼らはその先祖たちの神、主にむかって罪を犯したので、あなたがたの見るように主は彼らを滅びに渡されたのです。 | 30:7 Don't be like your fathers, and like your brothers, who trespassed against Yahweh, the God of their fathers, so that he gave them up to desolation, as you see. | |
| 30:8あなたがたの父たちのように強情にならないで、主に帰服し、主がとこしえに聖別された聖所に入り、あなたがたの神、主に仕えなさい。そうすれば、その激しい怒りがあなたがたを離れるでしょう。 | 30:8 Now don't be stiff-necked, as your fathers were; but yield yourselves to Yahweh, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified forever, and serve Yahweh your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you. | |
| 30:9もしあなたがたが主に立ち返るならば、あなたがたの兄弟および子供は、これを捕えていった者の前にあわれみを得て、この国に帰ることができるでしょう。あなたがたの神、主は恵みあり、あわれみある方であられるゆえ、あなたがたが彼に立ち返るならば、顔をあなたがたにそむけられることはありません」。 | 30:9 For if you turn again to Yahweh, your brothers and your children shall find compassion before those who led them captive, and shall come again into this land: for Yahweh your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him." | |
| 30:10このように飛脚たちは、エフライムとマナセの国にはいって、町から町に行き巡り、ついに、ゼブルンまで行ったが、人々はこれをあざけり笑った。 | 30:10 So the couriers passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even to Zebulun: but they ridiculed them, and mocked them. | |
| 30:11ただしアセル、マナセ、ゼブルンのうちには身を低くして、エルサレムにきた人々もあった。 | 30:11 Nevertheless certain men of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem. | |
| 30:12またユダにおいては神の手が人々に一つ心を与えて、王とつかさたちが主の言葉によって命じたことを行わせた。 | 30:12 Also on Judah came the hand of God to give them one heart, to do the commandment of the king and of the princes by the word of Yahweh. | |
| 30:13こうして二月になって、多くの民は、種入れぬパンの祭を行うためエルサレムに集まったが、非常に大きな会衆であった。 | 30:13 Many people assembled at Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great assembly. | |
| 30:14彼らは立ってエルサレムにあるもろもろの祭壇を取り除き、またすべての香をたく祭壇を取り除いてキデロン川に投げすて、 | 30:14 They arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron. | |
| 30:15二月の十四日に過越の小羊をほふった。そこで祭司たちおよびレビびとはみずから恥じ、身を清めて主の宮に燔祭を携えて来た。 | 30:15 Then they killed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought burnt offerings into the house of Yahweh. | |
| 30:16彼らは神の人モーセの律法に従い、いつものようにその所に立ち、祭司たちは、レビびとの手から血を受けて注いだ。 | 30:16 They stood in their place after their order, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood which they received of the hand of the Levites. | |
| 30:17時に、会衆のうちにまだ身を清めていない者が多かったので、レビびとはその清くないすべての人々に代って過越の小羊をほふり、主に清めてささげた。 | 30:17 For there were many in the assembly who had not sanctified themselves: therefore the Levites were in charge of killing the Passovers for everyone who was not clean, to sanctify them to Yahweh. | |
| 30:18多くの民すなわちエフライム、マナセ、イッサカル、ゼブルンからきた多くの者はまだ身を清めていないのに、書きしるされたとおりにしないで過越の物を食べた。それでヒゼキヤは、彼らのために祈って言った、「恵みふかき主よ、彼らをゆるしてください。 | 30:18 For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the Passover otherwise than it is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, "May the good Yahweh pardon everyone | |
| 30:19彼らは聖所の清めの規定どおりにしなかったけれども、その心を傾けて神を求め、その先祖の神、主を求めたのです」。 | 30:19 who sets his heart to seek God, Yahweh, the God of his fathers, even if they aren't clean according to the purification of the sanctuary." | |
| 30:20主はヒゼキヤに聞いて、民をいやされた。 | 30:20 Yahweh listened to Hezekiah, and healed the people. | |
| 30:21そこでエルサレムに来ていたイスラエルの人々は大いなる喜びをいだいて、七日のあいだ種入れぬパンの祭を行った。またレビびとと祭司たちは日々に主をさんびし、力をつくして主をたたえた。 | 30:21 The children of Israel who were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness; and the Levites and the priests praised Yahweh day by day, singing with loud instruments to Yahweh. | |
| 30:22そしてヒゼキヤは主の勤めによく通じているすべてのレビびとを深くねぎらった。こうして人々は酬恩祭の犠牲をささげ、その先祖の神、主に感謝して、七日のあいだ祭の供え物を食べた。 | 30:22 Hezekiah spoke comfortably to all the Levites who had good understanding in the service of Yahweh. So they ate throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace offerings, and making confession to Yahweh, the God of their fathers. | |
| 30:23なお全会衆は相はかって、さらに七日のあいだ祭を守ることを定め、喜びをもってまた七日のあいだ守った。 | 30:23 The whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days; and they kept another seven days with gladness. | |
| 30:24時にユダの王ヒゼキヤは雄牛一千頭、羊七千頭を会衆に贈り、また、つかさたちは雄牛一千頭、羊一万頭を会衆に贈った。祭司もまた多く身を清めた。 | 30:24 For Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the assembly for offerings one thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves. | |
| 30:25ユダの全会衆および祭司、レビびと、ならびにイスラエルからきた全会衆、およびイスラエルの地からきた他国人と、ユダに住む他国人は皆喜んだ。 | 30:25 All the assembly of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the assembly who came out of Israel, and the foreigners who came out of the land of Israel, and who lived in Judah, rejoiced. | |
| 30:26このようにエルサレムに大いなる喜びがあった。イスラエルの王ダビデの子ソロモンの時からこのかた、このような事はエルサレムになかった。 | 30:26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem; for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem. | |
| 30:27このとき祭司たちとレビびとは立って、民を祝福したが、その声は聞かれ、その祈は主の聖なるすみかである天に達した。 | 30:27 Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy habitation, even to heaven. | |
| 31:1この事がすべて終った時、そこにいたイスラエルびとは皆、ユダの町々に出て行って、石柱を砕き、アシラ像を切り倒し、ユダとベニヤミンの全地、およびエフライムとマナセにある高き所と祭壇とを取りこわし、ついにこれをことごとく破壊した。そしてイスラエルの人々はおのおのその町々、その所領に帰った。 | 31:1 Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah, and broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and broke down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities. | |
| 31:2ヒゼキヤは祭司およびレビびとの班を定め、班ごとにおのおのその勤めに従って、祭司とレビびとに燔祭と酬恩祭をささげさせ、主の営の門で勤めをし、感謝をし、さんびをさせた。 | 31:2 Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camp of Yahweh. | |
| 31:3また燔祭のために自分の財産のうちから王の分を出した。すなわち朝夕の燔祭および安息日、新月、定めの祭などの燔祭のために出して、主の律法にしるされているとおりにした。 | 31:3 He appointed also the king's portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of Yahweh. | |
| 31:4またエルサレムに住む民に、祭司とレビびとにその分を与えることを命じた。これは彼らをして主の律法に身をゆだねさせるためである。 | 31:4 Moreover he commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the law of Yahweh. | |
| 31:5その命令が伝わるやいなや、イスラエルの人々は穀物、酒、油、蜜ならびに畑のもろもろの産物の初物を多くささげ、またすべての物の十分の一をおびただしく携えて来た。 | 31:5 As soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel gave in abundance the first fruits of grain, new wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly. | |
| 31:6ユダの町々に住んでいたイスラエルとユダの人々もまた牛、羊の十分の一ならびにその神、主にささげられた奉納物を携えて来て、これを積み重ねた。 | 31:6 The children of Israel and Judah, who lived in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep, and the tithe of dedicated things which were consecrated to Yahweh their God, and laid them by heaps. | |
| 31:7三月にこれを積み重ねることを始め、七月にこれを終った。 | 31:7 In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month. | |
| 31:8ヒゼキヤおよびつかさたちは来て、その積み重ねた物を見、主とその民イスラエルを祝福した。 | 31:8 When Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed Yahweh, and his people Israel. | |
| 31:9そしてヒゼキヤがその積み重ねた物について祭司およびレビびとに問い尋ねた時、 | 31:9 Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps. | |
| 31:10ザドクの家から出た祭司の長アザリヤは彼に答えて言った、「民が主の宮に供え物を携えて来ることを始めてからこのかた、われわれは飽きるほど食べたが、たくさん残りました。主がその民を恵まれたからです。それでわれわれは、このように多くの残った物をもっているのです」。 | 31:10 Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said, "Since people began to bring the offerings into the house of Yahweh, we have eaten and had enough, and have left plenty: for Yahweh has blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store." | |
| 31:11そこでヒゼキヤは主の宮のうちに室を設けることを命じたので、彼らはこれを設け、 | 31:11 Then Hezekiah commanded them to prepare rooms in the house of Yahweh; and they prepared them. | |
| 31:12その供え物の十分の一および奉納物を忠実に携え入れた。これをつかさどる者のかしらはレビびとコナニヤで、その兄弟シメイは彼に次ぐ者となり、 | 31:12 They brought in the offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: and over them Conaniah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was second. | |
| 31:13エヒエル、アザジヤ、ナハテ、アサヘル、エレモテ、ヨザバデ、エリエル、イスマキヤ、マハテ、ベナヤらは、ヒゼキヤ王および神の宮のつかさアザリヤの任命によって、コナニヤおよびその兄弟シメイを助けて、その監督者となった。 | 31:13 Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of God's house. | |
| 31:14東の門を守る者レビびとイムナの子コレは、神にささげる自発のささげ物をつかさどり、主の供え物および最も聖なる物を分配した。 | 31:14 Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter at the east gate, was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the offerings of Yahweh, and the most holy things. | |
| 31:15彼を助ける者はエデン、ミニヤミン、エシュア、シマヤ、アマリヤおよびシカニヤで、皆祭司の町々でその兄弟たちに、班によって、老若ひとしく忠実に分配した。 | 31:15 Under him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their office of trust, to give to their brothers by divisions, as well to the great as to the small: | |
| 31:16ただしすべて登録された三歳以上の男子で主の宮に入り、その班に従って日々の職分をつくし、その受持の勤めをなす者は除かれた。 | 31:16 besides those who were reckoned by genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even everyone who entered into the house of Yahweh, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their offices according to their divisions; | |
| 31:17祭司の登録はその氏族によってなされ、二十歳以上のレビびとの登録はその班により、その受持にしたがってなされた。 | 31:17 and those who were reckoned by genealogy of the priests by their fathers' houses, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their offices by their divisions; | |
| 31:18また祭司はその幼な子、その妻、そのむすこ、その娘、全会衆と共に登録した。彼らは忠実に身を聖なる事にささげたからである。 | 31:18 and those who were reckoned by genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation: for in their office of trust they sanctified themselves in holiness. | |
| 31:19また町々の放牧地におるアロンの子孫である祭司たちのためには、町ごとに人を名ざし選んで、祭司のうちのすべての男およびレビびとのうちの登録されたすべての者に、その分を与えさせた。 | 31:19 Also for the sons of Aaron the priests, who were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every city, there were men who were mentioned by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all who were reckoned by genealogy among the Levites. | |
| 31:20ヒゼキヤはユダ全国にこのようにし、良い事、正しい事、忠実な事をその神、主の前に行った。 | 31:20 Hezekiah did so throughout all Judah; and he worked that which was good and right and faithful before Yahweh his God. | |
| 31:21彼がその神を求めるために神の宮の務につき、律法につき、戒めについて始めたわざは、ことごとく心をつくして行い、これをなし遂げた。 | 31:21 In every work that he began in the service of God's house, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered. | |
| 32:1ヒゼキヤがこれらの事を忠実に行った後、アッスリヤの王セナケリブが来てユダに侵入し、堅固な町々に向かって陣を張り、これを攻め取ろうとした。 | 32:1 After these things, and this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fortified cities, and thought to win them for himself. | |
| 32:2ヒゼキヤはセナケリブが来て、エルサレムを攻めようとするのを見たので、 | 32:2 When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem, | |
| 32:3そのつかさたちおよび勇士たちと相談して、町の外にある泉の水を、ふさごうとした。彼らはこれを助けた。 | 32:3 he took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the springs which were outside of the city; and they helped him. | |
| 32:4多くの民は集まって、すべての泉および国の中を流れる谷川をふさいで言った、「アッスリヤの王たちがきて、多くの水を得られるようなことをしておいていいだろうか」。 | 32:4 So many people gathered together, and they stopped all the springs, and the brook that flowed through the midst of the land, saying, "Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water?" | |
| 32:5ヒゼキヤはまた勇気を出して、破れた城壁をことごとく築き直して、その上にやぐらを建て、その外にまた城壁を巡らし、ダビデの町のミロを堅固にし、武器および盾を多く造り、 | 32:5 He took courage, and built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised it up to the towers, and the other wall outside, and strengthened Millo in the city of David, and made weapons and shields in abundance. | |
| 32:6軍長を民の上に置き、町の門の広場に民を集めて、これを励まして言った、 | 32:6 He set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the broad place at the gate of the city, and spoke comfortably to them, saying, | |
| 32:7「心を強くし、勇みたちなさい。アッスリヤの王をも、彼と共にいるすべての群衆をも恐れてはならない。おののいてはならない。われわれと共におる者は彼らと共におる者よりも大いなる者だからである。 | 32:7 "Be strong and courageous, don't be afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude who is with him; for there is a greater with us than with him. | |
| 32:8彼と共におる者は肉の腕である。しかしわれわれと共におる者はわれわれの神、主であって、われわれを助け、われわれに代って戦われる」。民はユダの王ヒゼキヤの言葉に安心した。 | 32:8 With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is Yahweh our God to help us, and to fight our battles." The people rested themselves on the words of Hezekiah king of Judah. | |
| 32:9この後アッスリヤの王セナケリブはその全軍をもってラキシを囲んでいたが、その家来をエルサレムにつかわして、ユダの王ヒゼキヤおよびエルサレムにいるすべてのユダの人に告げさせて言った、 | 32:9 After this, Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem, (now he was before Lachish, and all his power with him), to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah who were at Jerusalem, saying, | |
| 32:10「アッスリヤの王セナケリブはこう言います、『あなたがたは何を頼んでエルサレムにこもっているのか。 | 32:10 Thus says Sennacherib king of Assyria, "In whom do you trust, that you remain under siege in Jerusalem? | |
| 32:11ヒゼキヤは「われわれの神、主がアッスリヤの王の手から、われわれを救ってくださる」と言って、あなたがたをそそのかし、飢えと、かわきをもって、あなたがたを死なせようとしているのではないか。 | 32:11 Doesn't Hezekiah persuade you, to give you over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, 'Yahweh our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?' | |
| 32:12このヒゼキヤは主のもろもろの高き所と祭壇を取り除き、ユダとエルサレムに命じて、「あなたがたはただ一つの祭壇の前で礼拝し、その上に犠牲をささげなければならない」と言った者ではないか。 | 32:12 Hasn't the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, 'You shall worship before one altar, and on it you shall burn incense?' | |
| 32:13あなたがたは、わたしおよびわたしの先祖たちが、他の国々のすべての民にしたことを知らないのか。それらの国々の民の神々は、少しでもその国を、わたしの手から救い出すことができたか。 | 32:13 Don't you know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands in any way able to deliver their land out of my hand? | |
| 32:14わたしの先祖たちが滅ぼし尽したそれらの国民のもろもろの神のうち、だれか自分の民をわたしの手から救い出すことのできたものがあるか。それで、どうしてあなたがたの神が、あなたがたをわたしの手から救い出すことができよう。 | 32:14 Who was there among all the gods of those nations which my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of my hand? | |
| 32:15それゆえ、あなたがたはヒゼキヤに欺かれてはならない。そそのかされてはならない。また彼を信じてはならない。いずれの民、いずれの国の神もその民をわたしの手、または、わたしの先祖の手から救いだすことができなかったのだから、ましてあなたがたの神が、どうしてわたしの手からあなたがたを救いだすことができようか』」。 | 32:15 Now therefore don't let Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you in this way, neither believe him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you out of my hand?" | |
| 32:16セナケリブの家来は、このほかにも多く主なる神、およびそのしもべヒゼキヤをそしった。 | 32:16 His servants spoke yet more against Yahweh God, and against his servant Hezekiah. | |
| 32:17セナケリブはまた手紙を書き送って、イスラエルの神、主をあざけり、かつそしって言った、「諸国の民の神々が、その民をわたしの手から救い出さなかったように、ヒゼキヤの神も、その民をわたしの手から救い出さないであろう」と。 | 32:17 He also wrote letters insulting Yahweh, the God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, "As the gods of the nations of the lands, which have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall the God of Hezekiah not deliver his people out of my hand." | |
| 32:18そして彼らは大声をあげ、ユダヤの言葉をもって、城壁の上にいるエルサレムの民に向かって叫び、これをおどし、かつおびやかした。彼らは町を取るためである。 | 32:18 They cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city. | |
| 32:19このように彼らがエルサレムの神について語ること、人の手のわざである地上の民の神々について語るようであった。 | 32:19 They spoke of the God of Jerusalem, as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of men's hands. | |
| 32:20そこでヒゼキヤ王およびアモツの子預言者イザヤは共に祈って、天に呼ばわったので、 | 32:20 Hezekiah the king, and Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, prayed because of this, and cried to heaven. | |
| 32:21主はひとりのみ使をつかわして、アッスリヤ王の陣営にいるすべての大勇士と将官、軍長らを滅ぼされた。それで王は赤面して自分の国に帰ったが、その神の家にはいった時、その子のひとりが、つるぎをもって彼をその所で殺した。 | 32:21 Yahweh sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valor, and the leaders and captains, in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. When he had come into the house of his god, those who came forth from his own bowels killed him there with the sword. | |
| 32:22このように主は、ヒゼキヤとエルサレムの住民をアッスリヤの王セナケリブの手およびすべての敵の手から救い出し、いたる所で彼らを守られた。 | 32:22 Thus Yahweh saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all others, and guided them on every side. | |
| 32:23そこで多くの人々はささげ物をエルサレムに携えてきて主にささげ、また宝物をユダの王ヒゼキヤに贈った。この後ヒゼキヤは万国の民に尊ばれた。 | 32:23 Many brought gifts to Yahweh to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah; so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from thenceforth. | |
| 32:24そのころ、ヒゼキヤは病んで死ぬばかりであったが、主に祈ったので、主はこれに答えて、しるしを賜わった。 | 32:24 In those days Hezekiah was sick even to death: and he prayed to Yahweh; and he spoke to him, and gave him a sign. | |
| 32:25しかしヒゼキヤはその受けた恵みに報いることをせず、その心が高ぶったので、怒りが彼とユダおよびエルサレムに臨もうとしたが、 | 32:25 But Hezekiah didn't render again according to the benefit done to him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath on him, and on Judah and Jerusalem. | |
| 32:26ヒゼキヤはその心の高ぶりを悔いてへりくだり、またエルサレムの住民も同様にしたので、主の怒りは、ヒゼキヤの世には彼らに臨まなかった。 | 32:26 Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of Yahweh didn't come on them in the days of Hezekiah. | |
| 32:27ヒゼキヤは富と栄誉をきわめ、宝蔵を造って、金、銀、宝石、香料、盾および各種の尊い器物をおさめ、 | 32:27 Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honor: and he provided him treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all kinds of goodly vessels; | |
| 32:28また倉庫を造って穀物、酒、油などの産物をおさめ、小屋を造って種々の家畜を置き、おりを造って羊の群れを置き、 | 32:28 storehouses also for the increase of grain and new wine and oil; and stalls for all kinds of animals, and flocks in folds. | |
| 32:29また多数の町を設け、かつ羊と牛をおびただしく所有した。神が非常に多くの貨財を彼に賜わったからである。 | 32:29 Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for God had given him very much substance. | |
| 32:30このヒゼキヤはまたギホンの水の上の源をふさいで、これをダビデの町の西の方にまっすぐに引き下した。このようにヒゼキヤはそのすべてのわざをなし遂げた。 | 32:30 This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and brought them straight down on the west side of the city of David. Hezekiah prospered in all his works. | |
| 32:31しかしバビロンの君たちが使者をつかわして、この国にあった、しるしについて尋ねさせた時には、神は彼を試みて、彼の心にあることを、ことごとく知るために彼を捨て置かれた。 | 32:31 However concerning the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart. | |
| 32:32ヒゼキヤのその他の行為およびその徳行は、アモツの子預言者イザヤの黙示とユダとイスラエルの列王の書にしるされている。 | 32:32 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his good deeds, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. | |
| 32:33ヒゼキヤはその先祖たちと共に眠ったので、ダビデの子孫の墓のうちの高い所に葬られた。ユダの人々およびエルサレムの住民は皆その死に当って彼に敬意を表した。その子マナセが彼に代って王となった。 | 32:33 Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent of the tombs of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death. Manasseh his son reigned in his place. | |
| 33:1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。 | 33:1 Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. | |
| 33:2彼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行いに見ならって、主の目の前に悪を行った。 | 33:2 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. | |
| 33:3すなわち、その父ヒゼキヤがこわした高き所を再び築き、またもろもろのバアルのために祭壇を設け、アシラ像を造り、天の万象を拝んで、これに仕え、 | 33:3 For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars for the Baals, and made Asheroth, and worshiped all the army of the sky, and served them. | |
| 33:4また主が「わが名は永遠にエルサレムにある」と言われた主の宮のうちに数個の祭壇を築き、 | 33:4 He built altars in the house of Yahweh, of which Yahweh said, "My name shall be in Jerusalem forever." | |
| 33:5主の宮の二つの庭に天の万象のために祭壇を築いた。 | 33:5 He built altars for all the army of the sky in the two courts of the house of Yahweh. | |
| 33:6彼はまたベンヒンノムの谷でその子供を火に焼いて供え物とし、占いをし、魔法をつかい、まじないを行い、口寄せと、占い師を任用するなど、主の前に多くの悪を行って、その怒りをひき起した。 | 33:6 He also made his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he practiced sorcery, and used enchantments, and practiced sorcery, 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. | |
| 33:7彼はまた刻んだ偶像を造って神の宮に安置した。神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。 | 33:7 He set the engraved image of the idol, which he had made, in God's house, of which God 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: | |
| 33:8彼らがもし、わたしがすべて命じた事、すなわち、モーセが伝えたすべての律法と定めとおきてとを慎んで行うならば、わたしがあなたがたの先祖のために定めた地から、重ねてイスラエルの足を移すことをしない」と。 | 33:8 neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from off the land which I have appointed for your fathers, if only they will observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all the law and the statutes and the ordinances given by Moses." | |
| 33:9マナセはこのようにユダとエルサレムの住民を迷わせ、主がイスラエルの人々の前に滅ぼされた国々の民にもまさって悪を行わせた。 | 33:9 Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that they did more evil than the nations whom Yahweh destroyed before the children of Israel did. | |
| 33:10主はマナセおよびその民に告げられたが、彼らは心に留めなかった。 | 33:10 Yahweh spoke to Manasseh, and to his people; but they gave no heed. | |
| 33:11それゆえ、主はアッスリヤの王の軍勢の諸将をこれに攻めこさせられたので、彼らはマナセをかぎで捕え、青銅のかせにつないで、バビロンに引いて行った。 | 33:11 Therefore Yahweh brought on them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh in chains, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon. | |
| 33:12彼は悩みにあうに及んで、その神、主に願い求め、その先祖の神の前に大いに身を低くして、 | 33:12 When he was in distress, he begged Yahweh his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. | |
| 33:13神に祈ったので、神はその祈を受けいれ、その願いを聞き、彼をエルサレムに連れ帰って、再び国に臨ませられた。これによってマナセは主こそ、まことに神にいますことを知った。 | 33:13 He prayed to him; and he was entreated by him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that Yahweh was God. | |
| 33:14この後、彼はダビデの町の外の石がきをギホンの西の方の谷のうちに築き、魚の門の入口にまで及ぼし、またオペルに石がきをめぐらして、非常に高くこれを築き上げ、ユダのすべての堅固な町に軍長を置き、 | 33:14 Now after this he built an outer wall to the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate; and he encircled Ophel with it, and raised it up to a very great height: and he put valiant captains in all the fortified cities of Judah. | |
| 33:15また主の宮から、異邦の神々および偶像を取り除き、主の宮の山とエルサレムに自分で築いたすべての祭壇を取り除いて、町の外に投げ捨て、 | 33:15 He took away the foreign gods, and the idol out of the house of Yahweh, and all the altars that he had built in the mountain of the house of Yahweh, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city. | |
| 33:16主の祭壇を築き直して、酬恩祭および感謝の犠牲を、その上にささげ、ユダに命じてイスラエルの神、主に仕えさせた。 | 33:16 He built up the altar of Yahweh, and offered thereon sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving, and commanded Judah to serve Yahweh, the God of Israel. | |
| 33:17しかし民は、なお高き所で犠牲をささげた。ただしその神、主にのみささげた。 | 33:17 Nevertheless the people sacrificed still in the high places, but only to Yahweh their God. | |
| 33:18マナセのそのほかの行為、その神にささげた祈、およびイスラエルの神、主の名をもって彼に告げた先見者たちの言葉は、イスラエルの列王の記録のうちにしるされている。 | 33:18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, behold, they are written among the acts of the kings of Israel. | |
| 33:19またその祈と、祈の聞かれた事、そのもろもろの罪と、とが、その身を低くする前に高き所を築いて、アシラ像および刻んだ像を立てた場所などは、先見者の記録のうちにしるされている。 | 33:19 His prayer also, and how God was entreated of him, and all his sin and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places, and set up the Asherim and the engraved images, before he humbled himself: behold, they are written in the history of Hozai. | |
| 33:20マナセはその先祖たちと共に眠ったので、その家に葬られた。その子アモンが彼に代って王となった。 | 33:20 So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his place. | |
| 33:21アモンは王となった時二十二歳で、二年の間エルサレムで世を治めた。 | 33:21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. | |
| 33:22彼はその父マナセのしたように主の前に悪を行った。すなわちアモンはその父マナセが造ったもろもろの刻んだ像に犠牲をささげて、これに仕え、 | 33:22 He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed to all the engraved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them. | |
| 33:23その父マナセが身を低くしたように主の前に身を低くしなかった。かえってこのアモンは、いよいよそのとがを増した。 | 33:23 He didn't humble himself before Yahweh, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon trespassed more and more. | |
| 33:24その家来たちは党を結んで彼にそむき、彼をその家で殺した。 | 33:24 His servants conspired against him, and put him to death in his own house. | |
| 33:25しかし国の民は、党を結んでアモン王にそむいた者どもをことごとく撃ち殺した。そして国の民はその子ヨシヤを王となして、そのあとを継がせた。 | 33:25 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. | |
| 34:1ヨシヤは八歳のとき王となり、エルサレムで三十一年の間世を治めた。 | 34:1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. | |
| 34:2彼は主の良しと見られることをなし、その父ダビデの道を歩んで、右にも左にも曲らなかった。 | 34:2 He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, and walked in the ways of David his father, and didn't turn aside to the right hand or to the left. | |
| 34:3彼はまだ若かったが、その治世の第八年に父ダビデの神を求めることを始め、その十二年には高き所、アシラ像、刻んだ像、鋳た像などを除いて、ユダとエルサレムを清めることを始め、 | 34:3 For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the Asherim, and the engraved images, and the molten images. | |
| 34:4もろもろのバアルの祭壇を、自分の前で打ちこわさせ、その上に立っていた香の祭壇を切り倒し、アシラ像、刻んだ像、鋳た像を打ち砕いて粉々にし、これらの像に犠牲をささげた者どもの墓の上にそれをまき散らし、 | 34:4 They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence; and the incense altars that were on high above them he cut down; and the Asherim, and the engraved images, and the molten images, he broke in pieces, and made dust of them, and strewed it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them. | |
| 34:5祭司らの骨をそのもろもろの祭壇の上で焼き、こうしてユダとエルサレムを清めた。 | 34:5 He burnt the bones of the priests on their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem. | |
| 34:6またマナセ、エフライム、シメオンおよびナフタリの荒れた町々にもこのようにし、 | 34:6 He did this in the cities of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon, even to Naphtali, around in their ruins. | |
| 34:7もろもろの祭壇をこわし、アシラ像およびもろもろの刻んだ像を粉々に打ち砕き、イスラエル全国の香の祭壇をことごとく切り倒して、エルサレムに帰った。 | 34:7 He broke down the altars, and beat the Asherim and the engraved images into powder, and cut down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel, and returned to Jerusalem. | |
| 34:8ヨシヤはその治世の十八年に、国と宮とを清めた時、その神、主の宮を繕わせようと、アザリヤの子シャパン、町のつかさマアセヤおよびヨアハズの子史官ヨアをつかわした。 | 34:8 Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of Yahweh his God. | |
| 34:9彼らは大祭司ヒルキヤのもとへ行って、神の宮にはいった金を渡した。これは門を守るレビびとがマナセ、エフライムおよびその他のすべてのイスラエル、ならびにユダとベニヤミンのすべての人、およびエルサレムの住民の手から集めたものである。 | 34:9 They came to Hilkiah the high priest, and delivered the money that was brought into God's house, which the Levites, the keepers of the threshold, had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin, and of the inhabitants of Jerusalem. | |
| 34:10彼らはこれを主の宮を監督する職工らの手に渡したので、主の宮で働く職工らは、これを宮を繕い直すために支払った。 | 34:10 They delivered it into the hand of the workmen who had the oversight of the house of Yahweh; and the workmen who labored in the house of Yahweh gave it to mend and repair the house; | |
| 34:11すなわち、大工および建築者にこれを渡して、ユダの王たちが破った建物のために、切り石および骨組の材木を買わせ、梁材を整えさせた。 | 34:11 even to the carpenters and to the builders gave they it, to buy cut stone, and timber for couplings, and to make beams for the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed. | |
| 34:12その人々は忠実に仕事をした。その監督者はメラリの子孫であるレビびとヤハテとオバデヤ、およびコハテびとの子孫であるゼカリヤとメシュラムであって、工事をつかさどった。また楽器に巧みなレビびとがこれに伴った。 | 34:12 The men did the work faithfully: and their overseers were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to set it forward; and others of the Levites, all who were skillful with instruments of music. | |
| 34:13彼らはまた荷を負う者を監督し、様々の仕事に働くすべての者をつかさどった。また他のレビびとは書記となり、役人となり、また門衛となった。 | 34:13 Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and set forward all who did the work in every kind of service: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters. | |
| 34:14さて彼らが主の宮にはいった金を取りだした時、祭司ヒルキヤはモーセの伝えた主の律法の書を発見した。 | 34:14 When they brought out the money that was brought into the house of Yahweh, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of Yahweh given by Moses. | |
| 34:15そこで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発見しました」と。そしてヒルキヤはその書をシャパンに渡した。 | 34:15 Hilkiah answered Shaphan the scribe, "I have found the book of the law in the house of Yahweh." Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan. | |
| 34:16シャパンはその書を王のもとに持って行き、さらに王に復命して言った、「しもべらはゆだねられた事をことごとくなし、 | 34:16 Shaphan carried the book to the king, and moreover brought back word to the king, saying, "All that was committed to your servants, they are doing. | |
| 34:17主の宮にあった金をあけて、監督者の手および職工の手に渡しました」。 | 34:17 They have emptied out the money that was found in the house of Yahweh, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of the workmen." | |
| 34:18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、シャパンはそれを王の前で読んだ。 | 34:18 Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, "Hilkiah the priest has delivered me a book." Shaphan read therein before the king. | |
| 34:19王はその律法の言葉を聞いて衣を裂いた。 | 34:19 It happened, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he tore his clothes. | |
| 34:20そして王はヒルキヤおよびシャパンの子アヒカムとミカの子アブドンと書記官シャパンと王の家来アサヤとに命じて言った、 | 34:20 The king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king's servant, saying, | |
| 34:21「あなたがたは行って、この発見された書物の言葉についてわたしのために、またイスラエルとユダの残りの者のために主に問いなさい。われわれの先祖たちが主の言葉を守らず、すべてこの書物にしるされていることを行わなかったので、主はわれわれに大いなる怒りを注がれるからです」。 | 34:21 "Go inquire of Yahweh for me, and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found; for great is the wrath of Yahweh that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the word of Yahweh, to do according to all that is written in this book." | |
| 34:22そこでヒルキヤおよび王のつかわした人々は、シャルムの妻である女預言者ホルダのもとへ行った。シャルムはハスラの子であるトクハテの子で、衣装を守る者である。時にホルダは、エルサレムの第二区に住んでいた。彼らはホルダにその趣意を語ったので、 | 34:22 So Hilkiah, and they whom the king had commanded, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter;) and they spoke to her to that effect. | |
| 34:23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告げなさい。 | 34:23 She said to them, "Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: 'Tell the man who sent you to me, | |
| 34:24主はこう仰せられます。見よ、わたしはユダの王の前で読んだ書物にしるされているもろもろののろい、すなわち災をこの所と、ここに住む者に下す。 | 34:24 "Thus says Yahweh, 'Behold, I will bring evil on this place, and on its inhabitants, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah. | |
| 34:25彼らはわたしを捨てて、他の神々に香をたき、自分の手で造ったもろもろの物をもって、わたしの怒りを引き起そうとしたからである。それゆえ、わたしの怒りは、この所に注がれて消えない。 | 34:25 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore is my wrath poured out on this place, and it shall not be quenched.'"' | |
| 34:26しかしあなたがたをつかわして、主に問わせるユダの王にはこう言いなさい。イスラエルの神、主はこう仰せられる。あなたが聞いた言葉については、 | 34:26 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: "As touching the words which you have heard, | |
| 34:27この所と、ここに住む者を責める神の言葉を、あなたが聞いた時、心に悔い、神の前に身をひくくし、わたしの前にへりくだり、衣を裂いて、わたしの前に泣いたので、わたしもまた、あなたに聞いた、と主は言われる。 | 34:27 because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before God, when you heard his words against this place, and against its inhabitants, and have humbled yourself before me, and have torn your clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard you," says Yahweh. | |
| 34:28見よ、わたしはあなたを先祖たちのもとに集める。あなたは安らかにあなたの墓に集められる。あなたはわたしがこの所と、ここに住む者に下すもろもろの災を目に見ることがない』と」。彼らは王に復命した。 | 34:28 "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 that I will bring on this place, and on its inhabitants."'" They brought back word to the king. | |
| 34:29そこで王は人をつかわしてユダとエルサレムの長老をことごとく集め、 | 34:29 Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem. | |
| 34:30そして王は主の宮に上って行った。ユダのすべての人々、エルサレムの住民、祭司、レビびと、およびすべての民は、老いた者も若い者もことごとく彼に従った。そこで王は主の宮で発見した契約の書の言葉を、ことごとく彼らの耳に読み聞かせ、 | 34:30 The king went up to the house of Yahweh, and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, both great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of Yahweh. | |
| 34:31そして王は自分の所に立って、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、その戒めと、あかしと定めとをまもり、この書にしるされた契約の言葉を行おうと言い、 | 34:31 The king stood in his place, 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 with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book. | |
| 34:32エルサレムおよびベニヤミンの人々を皆これに加わらせた。エルサレムの住民は先祖の神であるその神の契約にしたがって行った。 | 34:32 He caused all who were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand. The inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers. | |
| 34:33ヨシヤはイスラエルの人々に属するすべての地から、憎むべきものをことごとく取り除き、イスラエルにいるすべての人をその神、主に仕えさせた。ヨシヤが世にある日の間は、彼らは先祖の神、主に従って離れなかった。 | 34:33 Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all who were found in Israel to serve, even to serve Yahweh their God. All his days they didn't depart from following Yahweh, the God of their fathers. | |
| 35:1ヨシヤはエルサレムで主に過越の祭を行った。すなわち正月の十四日に過越の小羊をほふらせ、 | 35:1 Josiah kept a Passover to Yahweh in Jerusalem: and they killed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. | |
| 35:2祭司にその職務をとり行わせ、彼らを励まして主の宮の務をさせ、 | 35:2 He set the priests in their offices, and encouraged them to the service of the house of Yahweh. | |
| 35:3また主の聖なる者となってすべてのイスラエルびとを教えるレビびとに言った、「あなたがたはイスラエルの王ダビデの子ソロモンの建てた宮に、聖なる箱を置きなさい。再びこれを肩にになうに及ばない。あなたがたの神、主およびその民イスラエルに仕えなさい。 | 35:3 He said to the Levites who taught all Israel, who were holy to Yahweh, "Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built. There shall no more be a burden on your shoulders. Now serve Yahweh your God, and his people Israel. | |
| 35:4あなたがたはイスラエルの王ダビデの書、およびその子ソロモンの書に基いて氏族にしたがい、その班によって、みずから備えをなし、 | 35:4 Prepare yourselves after your fathers' houses by your divisions, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son. | |
| 35:5あなたがたの兄弟である民の人々の氏族の区分にしたがって聖所に立ち、このためにレビびとの氏族の分が欠けることのないようにしなさい。 | 35:5 Stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the fathers' houses of your brothers the children of the people, and let there be for each a portion of a fathers' house of the Levites. | |
| 35:6あなたがたは過越の小羊をほふり、身を清め、あなたがたの兄弟のために備えをし、モーセが伝えた主の言葉にしたがって行いなさい」。 | 35:6 Kill the Passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brothers, to do according to the word of Yahweh by Moses." | |
| 35:7ヨシヤは、小羊および子やぎを民の人々に贈った。これは皆その所にいるすべての人のための過越の供え物であって、その数三万、また雄牛三千を贈った。それらは王の所有から出したのである。 | 35:7 Josiah gave to the children of the people, of the flock, lambs and young goats, all of them for the Passover offerings, to all who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bulls: these were of the king's substance. | |
| 35:8そのつかさたちも民と祭司とレビびとに真心から贈った。また神の宮のつかさたちヒルキヤ、ゼカリヤ、エヒエルも小羊と子やぎ二千六百頭、牛三百頭を祭司に与えて過越の供え物とした。 | 35:8 His princes gave for a freewill offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of God's house, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small livestock, and three hundred head of cattle. | |
| 35:9またレビびとの長である人々すなわちコナニヤおよびその兄弟シマヤ、ネタンエルならびにハシャビヤ、エイエル、ヨザバデなども小羊と子やぎ五千頭、牛五百頭をレビびとに贈って過越の供え物とした。 | 35:9 Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand small livestock, and five hundred head of cattle. | |
| 35:10このように勤めのことが備わったので、王の命に従って祭司たちはその持ち場に立ち、レビびとはその班に従って仕え、 | 35:10 So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites by their divisions, according to the king's commandment. | |
| 35:11やがて過越の小羊がほふられたので、祭司はその血を受け取って注いだ。レビびとはその皮をはいだ。 | 35:11 They killed the Passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood which they received of their hand, and the Levites flayed them. | |
| 35:12それから燔祭の物をとり分け、それを民の人々の氏族の区分に従って渡し、主にささげさせた。これはモーセの書にしるされたとおりである。また牛をもこのようにした。 | 35:12 They removed the burnt offerings, that they might give them according to the divisions of the fathers' houses of the children of the people, to offer to Yahweh, as it is written in the book of Moses. So they did with the cattle. | |
| 35:13そして定めに従って過越の小羊を火であぶり、その他の聖なる供え物を深なべ、かま、浅なべなどに煮て、急いですべての民の人々にくばった。 | 35:13 They roasted the Passover with fire according to the ordinance: and the holy offerings boiled they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the children of the people. | |
| 35:14その後、彼らは自分のためと、祭司たちのために備えをした。アロンの子孫である祭司たちは、燔祭と脂肪をささげるのに忙しくて、夜になったからである。それでレビびとは自分たちのためと、アロンの子孫である祭司たちのために備えたのである。 | 35:14 Afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests, because the priests the sons of Aaron were busy with offering the burnt offerings and the fat until night: therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron. | |
| 35:15アサフの子孫である歌うたう者たちは、ダビデ、アサフ、ヘマンおよび王の先見者エドトンの命に従ってその持ち場におり、門衛たちはおのおの門にいて、その職務を離れるに及ばなかった。兄弟であるレビびとが彼らのために備えたからである。 | 35:15 The singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; and the porters were at every gate: they didn't need to depart from their service; for their brothers the Levites prepared for them. | |
| 35:16このようにその日、主の勤めの事がことごとく備わったので、ヨシヤ王の命に従って過越の祭を行い、主の祭壇に燔祭をささげた。 | 35:16 So all the service of Yahweh was prepared the same day, to keep the Passover, and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of Yahweh, according to the commandment of king Josiah. | |
| 35:17ここに来ていたイスラエルの人々は、そのとき過越の祭を行い、また七日の間、種入れぬパンの祭を行った。 | 35:17 The children of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days. | |
| 35:18預言者サムエルの日からこのかた、イスラエルでこのような過越の祭を行ったことはなかった。またイスラエルの諸王のうちには、ヨシヤが、祭司、レビびと、ならびにそこに来たユダとイスラエルのすべての人々、およびエルサレムの住民と共に行ったような過越の祭を行った者はひとりもなかった。 | 35:18 There was no Passover like that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did any of the kings of Israel keep such a Passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. | |
| 35:19この過越の祭はヨシヤの治世の第十八年に行われた。 | 35:19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this Passover kept. | |
| 35:20このようにヨシヤが宮を整えた後、エジプトの王ネコはユフラテ川のほとりにあるカルケミシで戦うために上ってきたので、ヨシヤはこれを防ごうと出て行った。 | 35:20 After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Neco king of Egypt went up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him. | |
| 35:21しかしネコは彼に使者をつかわして言った、「ユダの王よ、われわれはお互に何のあずかるところがありますか。わたしはきょう、あなたを攻めようとして来たのではありません。わたしの敵の家を攻めようとして来たのです。神がわたしに命じて急がせています。わたしと共におられる神に逆らうことをやめなさい。そうしないと、神はあなたを滅ぼされるでしょう」。 | 35:21 But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, "What have I to do with you, you king of Judah? I come not against you this day, but against the house with which I have war. God has commanded me to make haste. Beware that it is God who is with me, that he not destroy you." | |
| 35:22しかしヨシヤは引き返すことを好まず、かえって彼と戦うために、姿を変え、神の口から出たネコの言葉を聞きいれず、行ってメギドの谷で戦ったが、 | 35:22 Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and didn't listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo. | |
| 35:23射手の者どもがヨシヤを射あてたので、王はその家来たちに、「わたしを助け出せ。わたしはひどく傷ついた」と言った。 | 35:23 The archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, "Take me away, because I am seriously wounded!" | |
| 35:24そこで家来たちは彼を車から助け出し、王のもっていた第二の車に乗せてエルサレムにつれて行ったが、ついに死んだので、その先祖の墓にこれを葬った。そしてユダとエルサレムは皆ヨシヤのために悲しんだ。 | 35:24 So his servants took him out of the chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had, and brought him to Jerusalem; and he died, and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah. | |
| 35:25時にエレミヤはヨシヤのために哀歌を作った。歌うたう男、歌うたう女は今日に至るまで、その哀歌のうちにヨシヤのことを述べ、イスラエルのうちにこれを例とした。これは哀歌のうちにしるされている。 | 35:25 Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and singing women spoke of Josiah in their lamentations to this day; and they made them an ordinance in Israel: and behold, they are written in the lamentations. | |
| 35:26ヨシヤのその他の行為、主の律法にしるされた所に従って行った徳行、 | 35:26 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the law of Yahweh, | |
| 35:27およびその始終の行いなどは、イスラエルとユダの列王の書にしるされている。 | 35:27 and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. | |
| 36:1国の民はヨシヤの子エホアハズを立て、エルサレムでその父に代って王とならせた。 | 36:1 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's place in Jerusalem. | |
| 36:2エホアハズは王となった時二十三歳で、エルサレムで三月の間、世を治めたが、 | 36:2 Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. | |
| 36:3エジプトの王はエルサレムで彼を廃し、かつ銀百タラント、金一タラントの罰金を国に課した。 | 36:3 The king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. | |
| 36:4そしてエジプト王は彼の兄弟エリアキムをユダとエルサレムの王とし、その名をエホヤキムと改め、その兄弟エホアハズを捕えてエジプトへ引いて行った。 | 36:4 The king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt. | |
| 36:5エホヤキムは王となった時二十五歳で、十一年の間エルサレムで世を治めた。彼はその神、主の前に悪を行った。 | 36:5 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh his God. | |
| 36:6時に、バビロンの王ネブカデネザルが彼の所に攻め上り、彼をバビロンに引いて行こうとして、かせにつないだ。 | 36:6 Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon. | |
| 36:7ネブカデネザルはまた主の宮の器物をバビロンに運んで行って、バビロンにあるその宮殿にそれをおさめた。 | 36:7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of Yahweh to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon. | |
| 36:8エホヤキムのその他の行為、その行った憎むべき事および彼がひそかに行った事などは、イスラエルとユダの列王の書にしるされている。その子エホヤキンが彼に代って王となった。 | 36:8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place. | |
| 36:9エホヤキンは王となった時八歳で、エルサレムで三月と十日の間、世を治め、主の前に悪を行った。 | 36:9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh. | |
| 36:10年が改まり春になって、ネブカデネザル王は人をつかわして、彼を主の宮の尊い器物と共にバビロンに連れて行かせ、その兄弟ゼデキヤをユダとエルサレムの王とした。 | 36:10 At the return of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of Yahweh, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem. | |
| 36:11ゼデキヤは王となった時二十一歳で、十一年の間エルサレムで世を治めた。 | 36:11 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: | |
| 36:12彼はその神、主の前に悪を行い、主の言葉を伝える預言者エレミヤの前に、身をひくくしなかった。 | 36:12 and he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh his God; he didn't humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of Yahweh. | |
| 36:13彼はまた、彼に神をさして誓わせたネブカデネザル王にもそむいた。彼は強情で、その心をかたくなにして、イスラエルの神、主に立ち返らなかった。 | 36:13 He also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to Yahweh, the God of Israel. | |
| 36:14祭司のかしらたちおよび民らもまた、すべて異邦人のもろもろの憎むべき行為にならって、はなはだしく罪を犯し、主がエルサレムに聖別しておかれた主の宮を汚した。 | 36:14 Moreover all the chiefs of the priests, and the people, trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted the house of Yahweh which he had made holy in Jerusalem. | |
| 36:15その先祖の神、主はその民と、すみかをあわれむがゆえに、しきりに、その使者を彼らにつかわされたが、 | 36:15 Yahweh, the God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending, because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place: | |
| 36:16彼らが神の使者たちをあざけり、その言葉を軽んじ、その預言者たちをののしったので、主の怒りがその民に向かって起り、ついに救うことができないようになった。 | 36:16 but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of Yahweh arose against his people, until there was no remedy. | |
| 36:17そこで主はカルデヤびとの王を彼らに攻めこさせられたので、彼はその聖所の家でつるぎをもって若者たちを殺し、若者をも、処女をも、老人をも、しらがの者をもあわれまなかった。主は彼らをことごとく彼の手に渡された。 | 36:17 Therefore he brought on them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or gray-headed: he gave them all into his hand. | |
| 36:18彼は神の宮のもろもろの大小の器物、主の宮の貨財、王とそのつかさたちの貨財など、すべてこれをバビロンに携えて行き、 | 36:18 All the vessels of God's house, great and small, and the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon. | |
| 36:19神の宮を焼き、エルサレムの城壁をくずし、そのうちの宮殿をことごとく火で焼き、そのうちの尊い器物をことごとくこわした。 | 36:19 They burnt God's house, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels of it. | |
| 36:20彼はまたつるぎをのがれた者どもを、バビロンに捕えて行って、彼とその子らの家来となし、ペルシャの国の興るまで、そうして置いた。 | 36:20 He carried those who had escaped from the sword away to Babylon; and they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia: | |
| 36:21これはエレミヤの口によって伝えられた主の言葉の成就するためであった。こうして国はついにその安息をうけた。すなわちこれはその荒れている間、安息して、ついに七十年が満ちた。 | 36:21 to fulfill the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. As long as it lay desolate it kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years. | |
| 36:22ペルシャ王クロスの元年に当り、主はエレミヤの口によって伝えた主の言葉を成就するため、ペルシャ王クロスの霊を感動されたので、王はあまねく国中にふれ示し、またそれを書き示して言った、 | 36:22 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Yahweh stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, | |
| 36:23「ペルシャの王クロスはこう言う、『天の神、主は地上の国々をことごとくわたしに賜わって、主の宮をユダにあるエルサレムに建てることをわたしに命じられた。あなたがたのうち、その民である者は皆、その神、主の助けを得て上って行きなさい』」。 | 36:23 "Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, 'Yahweh, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, Yahweh his God be with him, and let him go up.'" |
