2 Chronicles 18
1 And Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance, and he intermarried with Achab.
ヨシヤパテは富と貴とを極めアハブと縁を結べり
2 And he went down after [some] years to Achab to Samaria. And Achab killed for him sheep and oxen in abundance, and for the people that were with him, and persuaded him to go up to Ramoth-gil'ad.
かれ數年の後サマリアに下りてアハブを訪ければアハブ彼およびその部從のために牛羊を多く宰りギレアデのラモテに倶に攻上らんことを彼に勸む
3 Then said Achab the king of Israel unto Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me against Ramoth-gil'ad! And he said to him, I [will be] like thee, and my people [shall be] as thy people; and we will be with thee in the battle.
すなはちイスラエルの王アハブ、ユダの王ヨシヤパテに言けるは汝我とともにギレアデのラモテに攻ゆくやヨシヤパテこれに答へけるは我は汝のごとく我民は汝の民のごとし汝とともに戰門に臨まんと
4 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, today [first] of the word of the Lord.
ヨシヤパテまたイスラエルの王に言けるは請ふ今日ヱホバの言を問たまへと
5 Then did the king of Israel assemble the prophets, four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramoth-gil'ad to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up, and God will deliver [it] into the hand of the king.
是においてイスラエルの王預言者四百人を集めて之に言けるは我らギレアデのラモテに往て戰ふべきや又は罷べきや彼等いひけるは攻上りたまへ神これを王の手に付したまふべしと
6 And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Eternal besides, that we might inquire of him?
ヨシヤパテいひけるは此外に我らの由て問べきヱホバの預言者此にあらざるや
7 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may inquire of the Lord; but I hate him; for he never prophesieth any good concerning me, but at all times evil: it is Michayhu the son of Yimla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
イスラエルの王こたへてヨシヤパテに言けるは外になほ一人あり我ら之によりてヱホバに問ことを得ん然ど彼は今まで我につきて善事を預言せず恒に惡き事のみを預言すれば我彼を惡むなり其者は即ちイムラの子ミカヤなりと然るにヨシヤパテこたへて王しか宣ふ勿れと言ければ
8 Then called the king of Israel a certain court-officer, and said, “Hasten hither Michayhu the son of Yimla.”
イスラエルの王一人の官吏を呼てイムラの子ミカヤを急ぎ來らしめよと言り
9 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, dressed in their royal garments, and they were sitting in a threshing-floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria: and all the prophets prophesied before them.
イスラエルの王およびユダの王ヨシヤパテは朝衣を纏ひサマリアの門の入口の廣場にて各々その位に坐し居り預言者は皆その前に預言せり
10 And Zedekiah the son of Kena'anah had made himself horns of iron; and he said, Thus hath said the Lord, With these shalt thou push the Syrians until thou have made an end of them.
時にケナアナの子ゼデキヤ鐵の角を造りて言けるはヱホバかく言たまふ汝是等をもてスリア人を衝て滅ぼし盡すべしと
11 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up against Ramoth-gil'ad, and prosper, and the Lord will deliver it into the king's hand.
預言者みな斯預言して云ふギレアデのラモテに攻上りて勝利を得たまへヱホバこれを王の手に付したまふべしと
12 And the messenger that went to call Michayhu spoke to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets are with one voice good for the king: so do let thy word, I pray thee, be like [that of] any one of them, and speak something good.
茲にミカヤを召んとて往たる使者これに語りて言けるは預言者等の言は一の口より出るがごとくにして王に善し請ふ汝の言をも彼らの一人のごとくなして善事を言ヘ
13 And Michayhu said, As the Lord liveth, truly what my God may say, that will I speak.
ミカヤ言けるはヱホバは活く我神の宣ふ所を我は陳べんと
14 And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Michah, shall we go to Ramoth-gil'ad to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and may they be delivered into your hand.
かくて王に至るに王彼に言けるはミカヤよ我らギレアデのラモテに往て戰かふべきや又は罷べきや彼言けるは上りゆきて利を得たまへ彼らは汝の手に付されんと
15 And the king said to him, How many times yet must I adjure thee that thou shalt not speak to me any thing but the truth in the name of the Lord?
王かれに言けるは我幾度なんぢを誓はせたらば汝ヱホバの名をもて唯眞實のみを我に告るや
16 Then said he, I saw all Israel scattered over the mountains, as flocks that have not a shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no master; let them return every man to his house in peace.
彼言けるは我イスラエルが皆牧者なき羊のごとく山に散をるを見たるがヱホバ是等の者は主なし各々やすらかに其家に歸るべしと言たまへり
17 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not say unto thee that he would not prophesy concerning me any good, but [only] for evil?
イスラエルの王是においてヨシヤパテに言けるは我なんぢに告て彼は善事を我に預言せず只惡き事のみを預言せんと言しに非ずやと
18 And he said, Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right and his left.
ミカヤまた言けるは然ば汝らヱホバの言を聽べし我視しにヱホバその位に坐し居たまひて天の萬軍その傍に右左に立をりしが
19 And the Lord said, Who will persuade Achab the king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gil'ad? And one said—one saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.
ヱホバ言たまひけるは誰かイスラエルの王アハブを誘ひて彼をしてギレアデのラモテにのぼりゆきて彼處に斃れしめんかと即ち一は此ごとくせんと言ひ一は彼ごとくせんと言ければ
20 Then came there forth a spirit, and placed himself before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him. And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith?
遂に一の霊すすみ出てヱホバの前に立ち我かれを誘はんと言たればヱホバ何をもてするかと之に問たまふに
21 And he said, I will go forth, and I will become a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou wilt persuade him, and also prevail: go forth, and do so.
我いでて虚言を言ふ霊となりてその諸の預言者の口にあらんと言りヱホバ言たまひけるは汝は誘なひ且これを成就ん出て然すべしと
22 And now, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets: but the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee.
故に視よヱホバ虚言を言ふ霊を汝のこの預言者等の口に入たまへり而してヱホバ汝に災禍を降さんと定めたまふと
23 And Zedekiah the son of Kena'anah went near, and struck Michayhu on the cheek, and said, Which is the way the Spirit of the Lord passed away from me to speak with thee?
時にケナアナの子ゼデキヤ近よりてミカヤの頬を批て言けるはヱホバの霊何の途より我を離れゆきて汝と言ふや
24 And Michayhu said, Behold, thou shalt see it on that day when thou shalt go into the innermost chamber to hide thyself.
ミカヤ言けるは汝奧の室にいりて身を匿す日に見るべし
25 And the king of Israel said, Take ye Michayhu, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;
イスラエルの王いひけるはミカヤを取てこれを邑の宰アモンおよび王の子ヨアシに曳かへりて言べし
26 And say ye, Thus hath said the king, Put this man in the prison, and feed him with sparing bread and with sparing water, until I return in peace.
王かく言ふ我が安然に歸るまで比者を牢にいれて苦惱のパンを食せ苦惱の水を飮せよと
27 And Michayhu said, If thou return at all in peace, then hath the Lord not spoken through me. And he said, Hear it, O all ye nations!
ミカヤ言けるは汝もし眞に平安に歸るならばヱホバ我によりて斯宣ひし事あらずと而してまた言り汝ら民よ皆聽べしと
28 And the king of Israel went up with Jehoshaphat the king of Judah to Ramoth-gil'ad.
かくてイスラエルの王およびユダの王ヨシヤパテはギレアデのラモテに上りゆけり
29 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but do thou put on thy royal garments. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went into the battle.
イスラエルの王時にヨシヤパテに言けるは我は服装を變て戰陣の中にいらん汝は朝衣を纒ひたまへとイスラエルの王すなはち服装を變へ二人倶に戰陣の中にいれり
30 And the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that he had, saying, Fight ye not with the small or with the great, save only with the king of Israel alone.
スリアの王その戰車の長等にかねて命じおけり云く汝ら小き者とか大なる者とも戰ふなかれ惟イスラエルの王とのみ戰へと
31 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, This is the king of Israel. And they encompassed him to fight; and Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord helped him; and God induced them to go away from him.
戰車の長等ヨシヤパテを見て是はイスラエルの王ならんと言ひ身をめぐらして之と戰はんとせしがヨシヤパテ號呼ければヱホバこれを助けたまへり即ち神彼らを感動して之を離れしめたまふ
32 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from following him.
戰車の長等彼がイスラエルの王にあらざるを見しかば之を追ことをやめて引返せり
33 But a certain man drew his bow at a venture, and struck the king of Israel between the joints and the armor: wherefore he said to the chariot-driver, Turn about, and carry me out of the camp; for I am wounded.
茲に一箇の人何心なく弓を彎てイスラエルの王の胸當と草摺の間に射あてたれば彼その御者に言けるは我傷を受たれば汝手を旋らして我を軍中より出せと
34 And the battle increased on that day: and the king of Israel stayed [himself] up in the chariot against the Syrians until the evening, and he died at the time of the sun's going down.
此日戰爭烈しくなりぬイスラエルの王は車の中に自ら扶持て立ち薄暮までスリア人をささへをりしが日の沒る頃にいたりて死り
