列王記Ⅰ 14

1 當時ヤラベアムの子アビヤ疾ゐたり

At that time, fell sick, Abijah son of Jeroboam.

2 ヤラベアム其妻に言けるは請ふ起て装を改へ人をして汝がヤラベアムの妻なるを知しめずしてシロに往け彼處にわが此民の王となるべきを我に告たる預言者アヒヤをる

Then said Jeroboam to his wife—Arise, I pray thee, and feign thyself another, that it be not known, that, thou, art the wife of Jeroboam, —and thou shalt go thy way to Shiloh, lo! there, is Ahijah the prophet, who promised I should be king over this people;

3 汝の手に十のパン及び菓子と一瓶の蜜を取て彼の所に往け彼汝に此子の如何になるかを示すべしと

and thou shall take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a bottle of honey, and shalt go unto him, —he, will tell thee what shall befall the young man.

4 ヤラベアムの妻是爲し起てシロに往きアヒヤの家に至りしがアヒヤは年齢のために其目凝て見ることを得ざりき

And the wife of Jeroboam, did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and entered the house of Ahijah, —now, Ahijah, could not see, for his eyes were fixed, by reason of his old age.

5 ヱホバ、アヒヤにいひたまひけるは視よヤラベアムの妻其子疾るに因て其に付て汝に一の事を諮んとて來る汝斯々彼に言べし其は彼入り來る時其身を他の人とすべければなり

But, Yahweh, had said unto Ahijah—Lo! the wife of Jeroboam, coming to enquire something of thee, concerning her son, for he is sick, thus and so, shalt thou speak unto her, —though, when she cometh in, she feign to be a stranger-woman.

6 彼が戸の所に入來れる時アヒヤ其履聲を聞て言けるはヤラベアムの妻入よ汝何ぞ其身を他の人とするや我汝に嚴酷き事を告るを命ぜらる

So it came to pass, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she entered the doorway, that he said—Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam, —wherefore, is it that thou art feigning to be a stranger-woman, seeing that, I, am sent unto thee, with something hard to bear?

7 往てヤラベアムに告べしイスラエルの神ヱホバ斯言たまふ我汝を民の中より擧げ我民イスラエルの上に汝を君となし

Go, say to Jeroboam—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the midst of the people, —and gave thee to be leader over my people Israel;

8 國をダビデの家より裂き離して之を汝に與へたるに汝は我僕ダビデの我が命令を守りて一心に我に從ひ唯わが目に適ふ事のみを爲しが如くならずして

and rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to thee, —and yet thou hast not been like my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me, with all his heart, to do only that which was right in mine eyes;

9 汝の前に在し凡の者よりも惡を爲し往て汝のために他の神と鋳たる像を造り我が怒を激し我を汝の背後に棄たり

but hast made wicked thy doings beyond any who were before thee, —and hast gone and made thee ether gods, even molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast, me, behind thy back,

10 是故に視よ我ヤラベアムの家に災害を下しヤラベアムに屬する男はイスラエルにありて繋がれたる者も繋がれざる者も盡く絶ち人の塵埃を殘りなく除くがごとくヤラベアムの家の後を除くべし

therefore, behold me! bringing misfortune against the house of Jeroboam, and I will cut off the meanest pertaining to Jeroboam, whether shut up or left at large, in Israel, —and will consume after the house of Jeroboam, as one consumeth dung, till it be all gone:

11 ヤラベアムに屬する者の邑に死るをば犬之を食ひ野に死ぬるをば天空の鳥之を食はんヱホバ之を語たまへばなり

Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city, shall, the dogs, eat, and, him that dieth in the field, shall, the birds of heaven, eat, —For, Yahweh, hath spoken.

12 爾起て爾の家に往け爾の足の邑に入る時子は死ぬべし

Thou, therefore, arise, go to thine own house, —as thy feet are entering the city, the young man shall die.

13 而してイスラエル皆彼のために哀みて彼を葬らんヤラベアムに屬する者は唯是のみ墓に入るべし其はヤラベアムの家の中にて彼はイスラエルの神ヱホバに向ひて善き意を懐けばなり

Then shall all Israel lament for him, and bury him, for, this one, pertaining to Jeroboam, shall reach a burying-place, —because there hath been found in him something good toward Yahweh, God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.

14 ヱホバ、イスラエル上に一人の王を興さん彼其日にヤラベアムの家を斷絶べし但し何れの時なるか今即ち是なり

Therefore will Yahweh raise up for himself a king over Israel, who will cut off the house of Jeroboam, this day, but why, even now?

15 又ヱホバ、イスラエルを撃て水に搖撼ぐ葦の如くになしたまひイスラエルを其父祖に賜ひし此善地より抜き去りて之を河の外に散したまはん彼等其アシラ像を造りてヱホバの怒を激したればなり

Therefore will Yahweh smite Israel, as a reed shaketh in water, and will root out Israel, from off this goodly soil, which he gave unto their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River (Euphrates), —because they have made their Sacred Stems, provoking Yahweh to anger:

16 ヱホバ、ヤラベアムの罪の爲にイスラエルを棄たまふべし彼は罪を犯し又イスラエルに罪を犯さしめたりと

That he may deliver up Israel, —on account of the sin of Jeroboam, which he committed, and which he caused, Israel, to commit.

17 ヤラベアムの妻起て去テルザに至りて家の閾に臻れる時子は死り

Then arose the wife of Jeroboam, and went her way and entered Tirzah, —as, she, was coming into the entrance hall, the young man died.

18 イスラエル皆彼を葬り彼の爲に哀めりヱホバの其僕預言者アヒヤによりて言たまへる言の如し

And, when they buried him, all Israel lamented him, —according to the word of Yahweh, which he spake through his servant Ahijah the prophet.

19 ヤラベアムの其餘の行爲彼が如何に戰ひしか如何に世を治めしかは視よイスラエルの王の歴代志の書に記載る

Now, the rest of the story of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold them! written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

20 ヤラベアムの王たりし日は二十二年なりき彼其父祖と偕に寝りて其子ナダブ之に代りて王となれり

And, the days which Jeroboam reigned, were twenty-two years, —and he slept with his fathers, and, Nadab his son, reigned, in his stead.

21 ソロモンの子レハベアムはユダに王たりきレハベアムは王と成る時四十一歳なりしがヱホバの其名を置んとてイスラエルの諸の支派の中より選みたまひし邑なるエルサレムにて十七年王たりき其母の名はナアマといひてアンモニ人なり

And, Rehoboam, son of Solomon, reigned in Judah, —forty-one years old, was Rehoboam when he began to reign, and seventeen years, reigned he in Jerusalem, the city which Yahweh had chosen to put his Name there, out of all the tribes of Israel, and, his mother’s name, was Naamah, the Ammonitess.

22 ユダ其父祖の爲たる諸の事に超てヱホバの目の前に惡を爲し其犯したる罪に由てヱホバの震怒を激せり

And Judah did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —and provoked him to jealousy, above all that their fathers had done, with their sins which they committed.

23 其は彼等も諸の高山の上と諸の靑木の下に崇邱と碑とアシラ像を建たればなり

And, they also, built for themselves high places and pillars, and Sacred Stems, —upon every high hill, and under every green tree.

24 其國には亦男色を行ふ者ありぎ彼等はヱホバがイスラエルの子孫の前より逐攘ひたまひし國民の中にありし諸の憎むべき事を傚ひ行へり

Moreover also, there were, male devotees, in the land, —they did according to all the abominable practices of the nations, which Yahweh dispossessed from before the sons of Israel.

25 レハベアム王の第五年にエジプトの王シシヤク、エルサレムに攻上り

And it came to pass, in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem;

26 ヱホバの家の寶物と王の家の寶物を奪ひたり即ち盡く之を奪ひ亦ソロモンの造りたる金の楯を皆奪ひたり

and took away the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the house of the king, yea, the whole, took he away, —and took away all the bucklers of gold, which, Solomon, had made.

27 レハベアム王其代に銅の楯を造りて王の家の門を守る侍衛の長の手に付せり

So King Rehoboam made, in their stead, bucklers of bronze, —and committed them unto the hand of the captains of the runners, who kept guard at the entrance of the house of the king.

28 王のヱホバの家に入る毎に侍衛之を負ひ復之を侍衛の房に携歸れり

And so it was, whensoever the king went into the house of Yahweh, the runners bare them, and then brought them back into the chamber of the runners.

29 レハベアムの其餘の行爲と其凡て爲たる事はユダの王の歴代志の書に記さるるに非ずや

Now, the rest of the story of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

30 レハベアムとヤラベアムの間に戰爭ありき

And there was, war, between Rehoboam and Jeroboam, continually.

31 レハベアム其父祖と偕に寝りて其父祖と共にダビデの城に葬らる其母のナアマといひてアンモニ人なり其子アビヤム之に代りて王と爲り

So then Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David, and, the name of his mother, was Naamah the Ammonitess, —and, Abijah his son, reigned, in his stead.
