2 Chronicles 21

1 Then Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the City of David. And his son, Jehoram, reigned in his place.

ヨシヤパテその先祖等とともに寝りてダビデの邑にその先祖等とともに葬られその子ヨラムこれに代て王となる

2 And he had brothers, sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were sons of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah.

ヨシヤパテの子たるその兄弟はアザリヤ、ヱヒエル、ゼカリヤ、アザリヤ、ミカエルおよびシバテヤ是みなイスラエルの王ヨシヤパテの子なり

3 And their father gave to them many gifts of silver, and gold, and valuables, with very fortified cities in Judah. But the kingdom he handed on to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn.

その父彼らに金銀寶物の賜物を多く與へまたユダの守衛の邑々を與へけるが國はヨラムに與へたりヨラム長子なりければなり

4 Therefore, Jehoram rose up over the kingdom of his father. And when he had established himself, he killed with the sword all his brothers, and certain ones from the leaders of Israel.

ヨラムその父の位に登りて力つよくなりければその兄弟等をことごとく劍にかけて殺し又イスラエルの牧伯等數人を殺せり

5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem.

ヨラムは三十二歳の時位に即ヱルサレムにて八年の間世を治めたり

6 And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done. For his wife was a daughter of Ahab, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.

彼はアハブの家のなせるごとくイスラエルの王等の道にあゆめりアハブの女を妻となしたればなり斯かれヱホバの目に惡と觀たまふ事をなせしかども

7 But the Lord was not willing to destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had formed with him, and because he had promised that he would provide a lamp to him, and to his sons, for all time.

ヱホバ曩にダビデに契約をなし且彼とその子孫とに永遠に光明を與へんと言たまひし故によりてダビデの家を滅ぼすことを欲み給はざりき

8 In those days, Edom rebelled, so as not to be subject to Judah, and they appointed for themselves a king.

ヨラムの世にエドム人叛きてユダの手に服せず自ら王を立たれば

9 And when Jehoram had gone across with his leaders, and all the horsemen who were with him, he arose in the night, and struck the Edomites (who had surrounded him), and all the commanders of his horsemen.

ヨラム其牧伯等および一切の戰車をしたがへて渉りゆき夜の中に起いでて自己を圍めるエドム人を撃ちその戰車の長等を撃り

10 Even so, Edom rebelled, so as not to be under the authority of Judah, even to this day. Also at that time, Libnah withdrew, so as not to be under his hand. For he had forsaken the Lord, the God of his fathers.

エドム人は斯叛きてユダの手に服せずなりしが今日まで然り此時にあたりてリブナもまた叛きてユダの手に服せずなりぬ是はヨラムその先祖の神ヱホバを棄たるに因てなり

11 Moreover, he also constructed high places in the cities of Judah. And he caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to fornicate, and Judah to prevaricate.

彼またユダの山々に崇邱を作りてヱルサレムの民に姦淫をおこなはせユダを惑はせり

12 Then letters were conveyed to him from the prophet Elijah, in which it was written: “Thus says the Lord, the God of David, your father: Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat, your father, nor in the ways of Asa, the king of Judah,

時に預言者エリヤの書ヨラムの許に達せり其言に云く汝の先祖ダビデの神ヱホバかく言たまふ汝はその父ヨシヤパテの道にあゆまずまたユダの王アサの道にあゆまずして

13 but instead you have advanced along the paths of the kings of Israel, and you have caused Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to fornicate, imitating the fornication of the house of Ahab, and moreover, you have killed your brothers, the house of your father, who are better than you:

イスラエルの王等の道にあゆみユダの人とヱルサレムの民をしてアハブの家の姦淫をなせるごとくに姦淫を行はしめまた汝の父の家の者にて汝に愈れるところの汝の兄弟等を殺せり

14 behold, the Lord will strike you with a great plague, with all your people, and your sons and wives, and all your substance.

故にヱホバ大なる災禍をもて汝の民汝の子女汝の妻等および汝の一切の所有を撃たまふべし

15 And you shall be sickened by a very grievous disease of your bowels, until your inner organs depart, little by little, each day.”

汝はまた臓腑の疾を得て大病になりその疾日々に重りて臓腑つひに墜んと

16 Therefore, the Lord stirred up, against Jehoram, the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, who are along the borders of the Ethiopians.

即ちヱホバ、ヨラムを攻させんとてエテオピアに近きところのペリシテ人とアラビヤ人の心を振起したまひければ

17 And they ascended into the land of Judah. And they laid waste to it. And they despoiled all the substance that was found in the house of the king, including even his sons and wives. Neither did there remain for him any son, except Jehoahaz, who was the youngest born.

彼らユダに攻のぼりて之を侵し王の家に在ところの貨財を盡く奪ひ取りまたヨウムの子等と妻等をも携へ去れり是をもてその末子ヱホアハズの外には一人も遺れる者なかりき

18 And in addition to all these things, the Lord struck him with an incurable disease of the bowels.

此もろもろの事の後ヱホバ彼を撃て臓腑に愈ざる疾を生ぜしめたまひければ

19 And as day followed after day, and the space of time turned, the course of two years was completed. And after having been wasted by a long consumption, so much so that even his inner organs were discharged, the disease ended along with his life. And so he died of a very grievous illness. And the people did not make a funeral for him, according to the custom of burning, as they had done for his ancestors.

月日を送り二年を經るにおよびてその臓腑疾のために墜ち重き病苦によりて死ねり民かれの先祖のために焚物をなせし如く彼のためには焚物をなさざりき

20 He was thirty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem. And he did not walk uprightly. And they buried him in the City of David, yet truly, not in the sepulcher of the kings.

彼は三十二歳の時位に即き八年の間ヱルサレムにて世を治めて終に薨去れり之を惜む者なかりき人衆これをダビデの邑に葬れり但し王等の墓にはあらず
