2 Chronicles 13
1 In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah began to reign over Judah.
ヤラベアム王の十八年にアビヤ、ユダの王となり
2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. There was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
ヱルサレムにて三年の間世を治めたり其母はギベアのウリエルの女にして名をミカヤといふ茲にアビヤとヤラベアムの間に戰爭あり
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.
アビヤは四十萬の軍勢をもて戰闘に備ふ是みな倔強の猛き武夫なり又ヤラベアムは倔強の人八十萬をもて之にむかひて戰爭の行伍を立つ是また大勇士なり
4 Abijah stood up on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, “Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel:
時にアビヤ、エフライムの山地なるゼマライム山の上に立て言けるはヤラベアムおよびイスラエルの人々皆聽よ
5 Ought you not to know that the LORD, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David forever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
汝ら知ずやイスラエルの神ヱホバ鹽の契約をもてイスラエルの國を永くダビデとその子孫に賜へり
6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord.
然るにダビデの子ソロモンの臣たるネバテの子ヤラベアム興りてその主君に叛き
7 Worthless men were gathered to him, wicked fellows who strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender hearted, and could not withstand them.
邪曲なる放蕩者これに集り附き自ら強くしてソロモンの子レハベアムに敵せしがレハベアムは少くまた心弱くして之に當る力なかりき
8 “Now you intend to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David. You are a great multitude, and the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods are with you.
今またなんぢらはダビデの子孫の手にあるヱホバの國に敵對せんとす汝らは大軍なり又ヤラベアムが作りて汝らの神と爲たる金の犢なんぢらと偕にあり
9 Haven’t you driven out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made priests for yourselves according to the ways of the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams may be a priest of those who are no gods.
汝らはアロンの子孫たるヱホバの祭司とレビ人とを逐放ち國々の民の爲がごとくに祭司を立るにあらずや即ち誰にもあれ少き牡牛一匹牡羊七匹を携へきたりて手に充す者は皆かの神ならぬ者の祭司となることを得るなり
10 “But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him. We have priests serving the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work.
然ど我儕に於てはヱホバ我儕の神にましまして我儕は之を棄ずまたヱホバに事ふる祭司はアロンの子孫にして役事をなす者はレビ人なり
11 They burn to the LORD every morning and every evening burnt offerings and sweet incense. They also set the show bread in order on the pure table, and care for the gold lamp stand with its lamps, to burn every evening; for we keep the instruction of the LORD our God, but you have forsaken him.
彼ら朝ごと夕ごとにヱホバに燔祭を献げ香を焚くことを爲し又供前のパンを純精の案の上に供へまた金の燈臺とその燈盞を整へて夕ごとに點すなり斯われらは我らの神ヱホバの職守を守れども汝らは却て彼を棄たり
12 Behold, God is with us at our head, and his priests with the shofars of alarm to sound an alarm against you. Children of Israel, don’t fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers; for you will not prosper.”
視よ神みづから我らとともに在して我らの大將となりたまふまた其祭司等は喇叭を吹ならして汝らを攻むイスラエルの子孫よ汝らの先祖の神ヱホバに敵して戰ふ勿れ汝ら利あらざるべければなりと
13 But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them; so they were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them.
ヤラベアム伏兵を彼らの後に回らせたればイスラエルはユダの前にあり伏兵は其後にあり
14 When Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried to the LORD, and the priests sounded with the shofars.
ユダ後を顧みるに敵前後にありければヱホバにむかひて號呼り祭司等喇叭を吹り
15 Then the men of Judah gave a shout. As the men of Judah shouted, God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
ユダの人々すなはち吶喊を擧けるがユダの人々吶喊を擧るにあたりて神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敗り給ひしかば
16 The children of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand.
イスラエルの子孫はユダの前より逃はしれり神かく彼らを之が手に付したまひければ
17 Abijah and his people killed them with a great slaughter, so five hundred thousand chosen men of Israel fell down slain.
アビヤとその民彼らを夥多く撃殺せりイスラエルの殺されて倒れし者は五十萬人みな倔強の人なりき
18 Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied on the LORD, the God of their fathers.
是時にはイスラエルの子孫打負されユダの子孫勝を得たり是は彼らその先祖の神ヱホバを賴みしが故なり
19 Abijah pursued Jeroboam, and took cities from him: Bethel with its villages, Jeshanah with its villages, and Ephron with its villages.
アビヤすなはちヤラベアムを追撃て邑數箇を彼より取れり即ちベテルとその郷里ヱシヤナとその郷里エフロンとその郷里是なり
20 Jeroboam didn’t recover strength again in the days of Abijah. The LORD struck him, and he died.
ヤラベアムはアビヤの世に再び權勢を奮ふことを得ずヱホバに撃れて死り
21 But Abijah grew mighty and took for himself fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
然どアビヤは權勢を得妻十四人を娶り男子二十二人女子十六人を擧けたり
22 The rest of the acts of Abijah, his ways, and his sayings are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.
アビヤのその餘の作爲とその行爲とその言は預言者イドの註釋に記さる
