< 2 Kings 1 >

1 Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab:
アハブの死しのちモアブ、イスラエルにそむけり
2 And Ahaziah fell thorow the lattesse windowe in his vpper chamber which was in Samaria: so he was sicke: then he sent messengers, to whome he saide, Goe, and enquire of Baal-zebub the God of Ekron, if I shall recouer of this my disease.
アハジヤ、サマリヤにあるその樓の欄杆よりおちて病をおこせしかば使を遣さんとして之にいひけるは往てエクロンの神バアルゼブブにわがこの病の愈るや否を問べしと
3 Then the Angel of the Lord said to Eliiah the Tishbite, Arise, and goe vp to meete the messengers of the King of Samaria, and say vnto them, Is it not because there is no God in Israel, that ye goe to enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron?
時にヱホバの使テシベ人エリヤにいひけるは起てサマリヤ王の使にあひて之に言べし汝等がエクロンの神バアルゼブブに問んとてゆくはイスラエルに神なきがゆゑなるか
4 Wherefore thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt not come downe from the bed on which thou art gone vp, but shalt die the death. So Eliiah departed.
是によりてヱホバかくいふ汝はその登りし牀より下ることなかるべし汝かならず死んとエリヤ乃ち往り
5 And the messengers returned vnto him, to whome he said, Why are ye nowe returned?
使者たちアハジアに返りければアハジア彼等に何故に返りしやといふに
6 And they answered him, There came a man and met vs, and saide vnto vs, Goe, and returne vnto the King which sent you, and say vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Is it not because there is no God in Israel, that thou sendest to enquire of Baal-zebub the God of Ekron? Therefore thou shalt not come downe from the bed, on which thou art gone vp, but shalt die ye death.
かれら之にいひけるは一箇の人上りきたりて我らに會ひわれらにいひけるは往てなんぢらを遣はせし王の所にかへり之にいふべしヱホバ斯いひたまふなんぢエクロンの神バアルゼブブに問んとて人を遣すはイスラエルに神なきがゆゑなるか然ば汝その登りし牀より下ることなかるべし汝かならず死んと
7 And he saide vnto them, What maner of man was he which came and met you, and tolde you these wordes?
アハジア彼等にいひけるはそののぼりきたりて汝等に會ひ此等の言を汝らに告たる人の形状は如何なりしや
8 And they said vnto him, He was an hearie man, and girded with a girdle of lether about his loynes. Then sayde he, It is Eliiah the Tishbite.
かれら對へていひけるはそれは毛深き人にして腰に革の帶をむすび居たり彼いひけるはその人はテシベ人エリヤなりと
9 Therefore the King sent vnto him a captaine ouer fiftie with his fiftie men, who went vp vnto him: for beholde, he sate on the toppe of a mountaine, and he saide vnto him, O man of God, the King hath commanded that thou come downe.
是に於て王五十人の長とその五十人をエリヤの所に遣はせり彼エリヤの所に上りゆくに視よエリヤは山の嶺に坐し居たりかれエリヤにいひけるは神の人よ王いひたまふ下るべし
10 But Eliiah answered, and saide to the captaine ouer the fiftie, If that I be a man of God, let fire come downe from the heauen, and deuoure thee and thy fiftie. So fire came downe from the heauen and deuoured him and his fiftie.
エリヤこたへて五十人の長にいひけるはわれもし神の人たらば火天より降りて汝と汝の五十人とを燒盡すべしと火すなはち天より降りて彼とその五十人とを燒盡せり
11 Againe also he sent vnto him another captaine ouer fiftie, with his fiftie. Who spake, and saide vnto him, O man of God, thus the King commandeth, Come downe quickely.
アハジアまた他の五十人の長とその五十人をエリヤに遣せりかれ上りてエリヤにいひけるは神の人よ王かく言たまふ速かに下るべし
12 But Eliiah answered, and saide vnto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come downe from the heauen, and deuoure thee and thy fiftie. So fire came downe from the heauen, and deuoured him and his fiftie.
エリヤ答て彼にいひけるはわれもし神の人たらば火天より降りて爾となんぢの五十人を燒盡すべしと神の火すなはち天より降りてかれとその五十人を燒盡せり
13 Yet againe he sent the third captaine ouer fiftie with his fiftie. And the thirde captaine ouer fiftie went vp, and came, and fell on his knees before Eliiah, and besought him, and saide vnto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life and the life of these thy fiftie seruants be precious in thy sight.
かれまた第三の五十人の長とその五十人を遣せり第三の五十人の長のぼりいたりてエリヤのまへに跪きこれに願ひていひけるは神の人よ願くはわが生命となんぢの僕なるこの五十人の生命をなんぢの目に貴重き者と見なしたまへ
14 Beholde, there came fire downe from the heauen and deuoured the two former captaines ouer fiftie with their fifties: therefore let my life nowe be precious in thy sight.
視よ火天より降りて前の五十人の長二人とその五十人を燒盡せり然どわが生命をば汝の目に貴重き者となしたまへ
15 And the Angel of the Lord said vnto Eliiah, Goe downe with him, be not afraide of his presence. So he arose, and went downe with him vnto the King.
時にヱホバの使エリヤに云けるはかれとともに下れかれをおそるることなかれとエリヤすなはち起てかれとともに下り王の許に至り
16 And he saide vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, (was it not because there was no God in Israel to inquire of his worde?) therefore thou shalt not come downe off the bed, on which thou art gone vp, but shalt die the death.
之にいひけるはヱホバかくいひたまふ汝エクロンの神バアルゼブブに問んとて使者を遣るはイスラエルにその言を問ふべき神なきがゆゑなるか是によりて汝はその登し牀より下ることなかるべし汝かならず死んと
17 So he dyed according to the worde of the Lord which Eliiah had spoken. And Iehoram began to reigne in his steade, in the seconde yeere of Iehoram the sonne of Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, because he had no sonne.
彼エリヤの言たるヱホバの言の如く死けるが彼に子なかりしかばヨラムこれに代りて王となれり是はユダの王ヨシヤパテの子ヨラムの二年にあたる
18 Concerning the rest of the actes of Ahaziah, that he did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
アハジヤのなしたる其餘の事業はイスラエルの王の歴代志の書に記載さるるにあらずや
