2 Chronicles 10
1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
爰にレハベアム、シケムに往り其はイスラエルみな彼を王となさんとてシケムに到りたればたり
2 And it came to pass when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it (now he was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon) that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
ネバテの子ヤラベアムはさきにソロモン王の面を避てエジプトに逃れ居しがこのことを聞てエジプトより歸れり
3 And they sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam saying,
人衆人を遣はして之を招きたるなり斯てヤラベアムとイスラエルの人みな來りてレハベアムに語りて言けるは
4 Thy father made our yoke grievous; and now lighten the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
汝の父我らの軛を苦しくせり然ば汝今汝の父の苦しき役とその我らに蒙むらせたる重き軛を軽くしたまへ然れば我儕なんぢに事へん
5 And he said to them, Come again to me after three days. And the people departed.
レハベアムかれらに言けるは汝ら三日を經て再び我に來れと民すなはち去り
6 And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, How do ye advise to return answer to this people?
是においてレハベアム王その父ソロモンの生る間これが前に立たる老人等に計りて言けるは汝ら如何に敎へて此民に答へしむるや
7 And they spoke to him saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.
彼らレハベアムに語りて言けるは汝もし此民を厚く待ひ之を悦こばせ善言を之に語らば永く汝の僕たらんと
8 But he forsook the advice of the old men which they had given him, and consulted with the young men, who had grown up with him, that stood before him.
然るに彼その老人等の敎へし敎を棄て自己とともに生長て己の前に立ところの少年等と計れり
9 And he said to them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me saying, Lighten the yoke which thy father put upon us?
即ち彼らに言けるは汝ら如何に敎へて我らをして此我に語りて汝の父の我らに蒙むらせし軛を軽くせよと言ふ民に答へしむるやと
10 And the young men that had grown up with him spoke to him saying, Thus shalt thou say to the people who have spoken to thee saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and lighten thou it for us, — thus shalt thou say to them: My little [finger] is thicker than my father's loins;
彼とともに生長たる少年等かれに語りて言けるは汝に語りて汝の父我らの軛を重くしたれば汝これを我らのために軽くせよと言たる此民に汝かく答へ斯これに言べし吾小指は我父の腰よりも太し
11 and whereas my father laid a heavy yoke upon you, I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions.
我父は汝らに重き軛を負せたりしが我は更に汝らの軛を重くせん我父は鞭をもて汝らを懲せしが我は蠍をもて汝らを懲さんと
12 And Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed saying, Come again to me on the third day.
偖またヤラベアムと民等は皆王の告て第三日に再び我にきたれと言しごとく第三日にレハベアムに詣りしに
13 And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the advice of the old men,
王荒々しく彼らに答へたり即ちレハベアム王老人の敎を棄て
14 and spoke to them according to the advice 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.
少年の敎のごとく彼らに告て言けるは我父は汝らの軛を重くしたりしが我は更に之を重くせん我父は鞭をもて汝らを懲せしが我は蠍をもて汝らを懲さんと
15 So the king hearkened not to the people; for it was brought about by God, that Jehovah might give effect to his word, which he spoke through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
王かく民に聽ことをせざりき此事は神より出たる者にしてその然るはヱホバかつてシロ人アヒヤによりてネバテの子ヤラベアムに告たる言を成就んがためなり
16 And all Israel saw that the king hearkened not to them; and the people answered the king saying, What portion have we in David? and [we have] no inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel. Now see to thine own house, David! And all Israel went to their tents.
イスラエルの民みな王の己に聽ざるを見しかば王に答へて言けるは我らダビデの中に何の分あらんやヱッサイの子の中には所有なしイスラエルよ汝ら各々その天幕に歸れダビデ族よ今おのれの家を顧みよと斯イスラエルは皆その天幕に歸れり
17 But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
但しユダの邑々に住るイスラエルの子孫の上にはレハベアムなほ王たりき
18 And king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the levy; but the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. And king Rehoboam hastened to mount his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
レハベアム王役夫の頭なるアドラムを遣はしけるにイスラエルの子孫石をもてこれを撃て死しめたればレハベアム王急ぎてその車に登りてエルサレムに逃かへれり
19 And Israel rebelled against the house of David, unto this day.
是のごとくイスラエルはダビデの家に背きて今日にいたる
