2 Chronicles 17
1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
アサの子ヨシヤパテ、アサに代りて王となりイスラエルにむかひて力を強くし
2 And he placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
ユダの一切の堅固なる邑々に兵を置きユダの地およびその父アサが取たるエフライムの邑々に鎮臺を置く
3 And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto the Baalim;
ヱホバ、ヨシヤパテとともに在せり其は彼その父ダビデの最初の道に歩みてバアル等を求めず
4 but sought to the God of his father, and walked in His commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
その父の神を求めてその誡命に歩みイスラエルの行爲に傚はざればなり
5 Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.
このゆゑにヱホバ國を彼の手に堅く立たまへりまたユダの人衆みなヨシヤパテに禮物を餽れり彼は富と貴とを極めたり
6 And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD; and furthermore he took away the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.
是において彼ヱホバの道にその心を勵まし遂に崇邱とアシラ像とをユダより除けり
7 Also in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben-hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah;
彼またその治世の三年にその牧伯ベネハイル、オバデヤ、ゼカリヤ、ネタンエルおよびミカヤを遣はしてユダの邑々にて敎誨をなさしめ
8 and with them the Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
またレビ人の中よりシマヤ、ネタニヤ、ゼバデヤ、アサヘル、セミラモテ、ヨナタン、アドニヤ、トビヤ、トバドニヤなどいふレビ人を遣して之と偕ならしめ且祭司エリシヤマとヨラムをも之と偕に遣はしけるが
9 And they taught in Judah, having the book of the Law of the LORD with them; and they went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught among the people.
彼らはヱホバの律法の書を携ヘユダにおいて敎誨をなしユダの邑々を盡く行めぐりて民を敎へたり。
10 And a terror from the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.
是においてユダの周圍の地の國々みなヱホバを懼れてヨシヤパテを攻ることをせざりき
11 And some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and silver for tribute; the Arabians also brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he-goats.
またペリシテ人の中に禮物および貢の銀をヨシヤパテに餽れる者あり且又アラビヤ人は家畜をこれに餽れり即ち牡羊七千七百牡山羊七千七百
12 And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles and cities of store.
ヨシヤパテは益々大になりゆきてユダに城および府庫邑を多く建て
13 And he had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valour, in Jerusalem.
ユダの邑々に多くの工事を爲し大勇士たる軍人をヱルサレムに置り
14 And this was the numbering of them according to their fathers' houses: of Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand;
彼等を數ふるにその宗家に循へば左のごとしユダより出たる千人の長の中にはアデナといふ軍長あり大勇士三十萬これに從がふ
15 and next to him Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand;
その次は軍長ヨハナン之に從ふ者は二十八萬人
16 and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto the LORD, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour;
その次はジクリの子アマシヤ彼は悦びてその身をヱホバに献げたり大勇士二十萬これに從がふ
17 and of Benjamin: Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
ベニヤミンより出たる者の中にはエリアダといふ大勇士あり弓および楯を持もの二十萬これに從がふ
18 and next to him Jehozabad, and with him a hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for war.
その次はヨザバデ戰門の準備をなせる者十八萬これに從がふ
19 These were they that waited on the king beside those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
是等は皆王に事ふる者等なり此外にまたユダ全國の堅固なる邑々に王の置る者あり
