列王記Ⅱ 17
1 ユダの王アハズの十二年にエラの子ホセア王となりサマリヤにおいて九年イスラエルを治めたり
In the twelfth year of Achaz king of Juda began Osee the son of Ela to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.
2 彼ヱホバの目の前に惡をなせしがその前にありしイスラエルの王等のごとくはあらざりき
And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord, only not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
3 アッスリヤの王シヤルマネセル攻のぼりたればホセアこれに臣服して貢を納たりしが
Against him came up Salamanassar king of the Assyrians; and Osee became his servant, and rendered him tribute.
4 アッスリヤの王つひにホセアの己に叛けるを見たり其は彼使者をエジプトの王ソにおくり且前に歳々なせしごとくに貢をアッスリヤ王に納ざりければなり是においてアツスリヤの王かれを禁錮て獄におけり
And the king of the Assyrians found iniquity in Osee, in that he sent messengers to Segor king of Egypt, and brought not a tribute to the king of the Assyrians in that year: and the king of the Assyrians besieged him, and bound him in the prison-house.
5 すなはちアッスリヤの王せめ上りて國中を遍くゆきめぐりサマリヤにのぼりゆきて三年が間これをせめ圍みたりしが
And the king of the Assyrians went up against all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it [for] three years.
6 ホセアの九年におよびてアッスリヤの王つひにサマリヤを取りイスラエルをアッスリヤに擄へゆきてこれをハラとハボルとゴザン河の邊とメデアの邑々とにおきぬ
In the ninth year of Osee the king of the Assyrians took Samaria, and carried Israel away to the Assyrians, and settled them in Alae, and in Abor, [near] the rivers of Gozan, and [in] the mountains of the Medes.
7 此事ありしはイスラエルの子孫己をエジプトの地より導きのぼりてエジプトの王パロの手を脱しめたるその神ヱホバに對て罪を犯し他の神々を敬ひ
For it came to pass that the children of Israel [had] transgressed against the Lord their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharao king of Egypt, and they feared other gods,
8 ヱホバがイスラエルの子孫の前より逐はらひたまひし異邦人の法度にあゆみ又イスラエルの王等の設けし法度にあゆみたるに因てなり
and walked in the statutes of the nations which the Lord cast out before the face of the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel as many as did [such things],
9 イスラエルの子孫義からぬ事をもてその神ヱホバを掩ひかくしその邑々に崇邱をたてたり看守臺より城にいたるまで然り
and [in those] of the children of Israel as many as secretly practised customs, not as [they should have done], against the Lord their God:
10 彼等一切の高丘の上一切の靑樹の下に偶像とアシラ像を立て
and they built for themselves high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city. And they made for themselves pillars and groves on every high hill, and under every shady tree.
11 ヱホバがかれらの前より移したまひし異邦人のなせしごとくにその崇邱に香を焚き又惡を行ひてヱホバを怒らせたり
And burned incense there on all high places, as the nations [did] whom the Lord removed from before them, and dealt with familiar spirits, and they carved [images] to provoke the Lord to anger.
12 ヱホバかれらに汝等これらの事を爲べからずと言おきたまひしに彼等偶像に事ふることを爲しなり
And they served the idols, of which the Lord said to them, Ye shall not do this thing [against] the Lord.
13 ヱホバ諸の預言者諸の先見者によりてイスラエルとユダに見證をたて汝等翻へりて汝らの惡き道を離れわが誡命わが法度をまもり我が汝等の先祖等に命じまたわが僕なる預言者等によりて汝等に傳へし法に率由ふやうにせよと言たまへり
And the Lord testified against Israel and against Juda, even by the hand of all his prophets, [and] of every seer, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my ordinances, and all the law which I commanded your fathers, [and] all that I sent to them by the hand of my servants the prophets.
14 然るに彼ら聽ことをせずしてその項を強くせり彼らの先祖等がその神ヱホバを信ぜずしてその項を強くしたるが如し
But they hearkened not, and made their neck harder than the neck of their fathers.
15 彼等はヱホバの法度を棄てヱホバがその先祖等と結びたまひし契約を棄てまたその彼等に見證したまひし證言を棄て且虚妄物にしたがひて虚浮なりまたその周圍なる異邦人の跡をふめり是はヱホバが是のごとくに事をなすべからずと彼らに命じ給ひし者なり
And they kept not any of his testimonies which he charged them; and they walked after vanities, and became vain, and after the nations round about them, concerning which the Lord had charged them not to do accordingly.
16 彼等その神ヱホバの諸の誡命を遺て己のために二の牛の像を鑄なし又アシラ像を造り天の衆群を拝み且バアルに事へ
They forsook the commandments of the Lord their God, and made themselves graven images, [even] two heifers, and they made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.
17 またその子息息女に火の中を通らしめ卜筮および禁厭をなしヱホバの目の前に惡を爲ことに身を委ねてその怒を惹起せり
And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divinations and auspices, and sold themselves to work wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him.
18 是をもてヱホバ大にイスラエルを怒りこれをその前より除きたまひたればユダの支派のほかは遺れる者なし
And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight; and there was only left the tribe of Juda quite alone.
19 然るにユダもまたその神ヱホバの誡命を守ずしてイスラエルの立たる法度にあゆみたれば
Nay even Juda kept not the commandments of the Lord their God, but they walked according to the customs of Israel which they practised, and rejected the Lord.
20 ヱホバ、イスラエルの苗裔ぞことごとく棄これを苦しめこれをその掠むる者の手に付して遂にこれをその前より打すてたまへり
And the Lord was angry with the whole seed of Israel, and troubled them, and gave them into the hand of them that spoiled them, until he cast them out of his presence.
21 すなはちイスラエルをダビデの家より裂はなしたまひしかばイスラエル、ネバテの子ヤラベアムを王となせしにヤラベアム、イスラエルをしてヱホバにしたがふことを止しめてこれに大なる罪を犯さしめたりしが
Forasmuch as Israel revolted from the house of David, and they made Jeroboam the son of Nabat king: and Jeroboam drew off Israel from following the Lord, and led them to sin a great sin.
22 イスラエルの子孫はヤラベアムのなせし諸の罪をおこなひつづけてこれに離るることなかりければ
And the children of Israel walked in all the sin of Jeroboam which he committed; they departed not from it,
23 遂にヱホバその僕なる諸の預言者をもて言たまひしごとくにイスラエルをその前より除きたまへりイスラエルはすなはちその國よりアッスリヤにうつされて今日にいたる
until the Lord removed Israel from his presence, as the Lord spoke by all his servants the prophets; and Israel was removed from off their land to the Assyrians until this day.
24 斯てアッスリヤの王バビロン、クタ、アワ、ハマテおよびセパルワイムより人をおくりてこれをイスラエルの子孫の代にサマリヤの邑々に置ければその人々サマリヤを有ちてその邑々に住しが
And the king of Assyria brought from Babylon the men of Chutha, [and men] from Aia, and from Aemath, and Seppharvaim, and they were settled in the cities of Samaria in the place of the children of Israel: and they inherited Samaria, and were settled in its cities.
25 その彼處に始て住る時には彼等ヱホバを敬ふことをせざりしかばヱホバ獅子をかれらの中に送りたまひてその獅子かれら若干を殺せり
And it was so at the beginning of their establishment there [that] they feared not the Lord, and the Lord sent lions among them, and they slew some of them.
26 是によりてアッスリヤの王に告て言ふ汝が移てサマリヤの邑々におきたまひしかの國々の民はこの地の神の道を知ざるが故にその神獅子をかれらの中におくりて獅子かれらを殺せり是は彼等その國の神の道を知ざるに因てなり
And they spoke to the king of the Assyrians, saying, The nations whom thou hast removed and substituted in the cities of Samaria [for the Israelites], know not the manner of the God of the land: and he has sent the lions against them, and, behold, they are slaying them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
27 アッスリヤの王すなはち命を下して言ふ汝等が彼處より曳きたりし祭司一人を彼處に携ゆけ即ち彼をして彼處にいたりて住しめその國の神の道をその人々に敎へしめよと
And the king of the Assyrians commanded, saying, Bring some [Israelites] thence, and let them go and dwell there, and they shall teach them the manner of the God of the land.
28 是に於てサマリヤより移れし祭司一人きたりてベテルに住みヱホバの敬ふべき事をかれらに敎へたり
And they brought one of the priests whom they had removed from Samaria, and he settled in Baethel, and taught them how they should fear the Lord.
29 その民はまた各々自分自分の神々を造りてこれをかのサマリア人が造りたる諸の崇邱に安置せり民みなその住る邑々において然なしぬ
But the nations made each their own gods, and put them in the house of the high places which the Samaritans [had] made, each nation in the cities in which they dwelt.
30 即ちバビロンの人々はスコテペノテを作りクタの人々はネルガルを作りハマテの人々はアシマを作り
And the men of Babylon made Socchoth Benith, and the men of Chuth made Ergel, and the men of Haemath made Asimath.
31 アビ人はニブハズとタルタクを作りセパルワイ人は其子女を火に焚てセパルワイムの神アデランメルクおよびアナンメルクに奉げたり
And the Evites made Eblazer and Tharthac, and the [inhabitant] of Seppharvaim [did evil] when they burnt their sons in the fire to Adramelech and Anemelech, the gods of Seppharvaim.
32 彼ら又ヱホバを敬ひ凡俗の民をもて崇邱の祭司となしたれば其人これがために崇邱に家々にて職務をなせり
And they feared the Lord, yet they established their abominations in the houses of the high places which they made in Samaria, each nation in the city in which they dwelt: and they feared the Lord, and they made for themselves priests of the high places, and sacrificed for themselves in the house of the high places.
33 斯その人々ヱホバを敬ひたりしが亦その携へ出されし國々の風俗にしたがひて自己自己の神々に事へたり
And they feared the Lord, and served their gods according to the manner of the nations, whence [their lords] brought them.
34 今日にいたるまで彼等は前の習俗にしたがひて事をなしヱホバを敬はず彼等の法度をも例典をも行はず又ヱホバがイスラエルを名けたまひしヤコブの子孫に命じたまひし律法をも誡命をも行はざるなり
Until this day they did according to their manner: they fear [the Lord], and they do according to their customs, and according to their manner, and according to the law, and according to the commandment which the Lord commanded the sons of Jacob, whose name he made Israel.
35 昔ヱホバこれと契約をたてこれに命じて言たまひけらく汝等は他の神を敬ふべからずまたこれを拝みこれに事へこれに犠牲をささぐべからず
And the Lord made a covenant with them, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, neither shall ye worship them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:
36 只大なる能をもて腕を伸て汝等をエジプトの地より導き上りしヱホバをのみ汝等敬ひこれを拝みこれにこれに犠牲をささぐべし
but only to the Lord, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great strength and with a high arm: him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship; to him shall ye sacrifice.
37 またその汝等のために録したまへる法度と例典と律法と誡命を汝等謹みて恒に守るべし他の神々を敬ふべからず
Ye shall observe continually the ordinances, and the judgments, and the law, and the commandments which he wrote for you to do; and ye shall not fear other gods.
38 我が汝等とむすびし契約を汝等忘るべからず又他の神々を敬ふべからず
Neither shall ye forget the covenant which he made with you: and ye shall not fear other gods.
39 只汝らの神ヱホバを敬ふべし彼なんじらをその諸の敵の手より救ひいださん
But ye shall fear the Lord your God, and he shall deliver you from all your enemies.
40 然るに彼等は聽ことをせずしてなほ前の習俗にしたがひて事を行へり
Neither shall ye comply with their practice, which they follow.
41 偖この國々の民は斯ヱホバを敬ひまたその雕める像に事たりしがその子も孫も共に然りその先祖のなせしごとくに今日までも然なすなり
So these nations feared the Lord, and served their graven images: yea, their sons and their son's sons do until this day even as their fathers did.
