Chronicles II 18
1 And Josaphat had yet great wealth and glory, and he connected himself by marriage with the house of Achaab.
ヨシヤパテは富と貴とを極めアハブと縁を結べり
2 And he went down after a term of years to Achaab to Samaria: and Achaab killed for him sheep and calves, in abundance, and for the people with him, and he much desired him to go up with him to Ramoth of the country of Galaad.
かれ數年の後サマリアに下りてアハブを訪ければアハブ彼およびその部從のために牛羊を多く宰りギレアデのラモテに倶に攻上らんことを彼に勸む
3 And Achaab king of Israel said to Josaphat king of Juda, Will you go with me to Ramoth of the country of Galaad? And he said to him, As I [am], so also [are] you, as your people, [so] also [is] my people with you for the war.
すなはちイスラエルの王アハブ、ユダの王ヨシヤパテに言けるは汝我とともにギレアデのラモテに攻ゆくやヨシヤパテこれに答へけるは我は汝のごとく我民は汝の民のごとし汝とともに戰門に臨まんと
4 And Josaphat said to the king of Israel, Seek, I pray you, the Lord today.
ヨシヤパテまたイスラエルの王に言けるは請ふ今日ヱホバの言を問たまへと
5 And the king of Israel gathered the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, Shall I go to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up, and God shall deliver [it] into the hands of the king.
是においてイスラエルの王預言者四百人を集めて之に言けるは我らギレアデのラモテに往て戰ふべきや又は罷べきや彼等いひけるは攻上りたまへ神これを王の手に付したまふべしと
6 And Josaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord besides, that we may enquire of him?
ヨシヤパテいひけるは此外に我らの由て問べきヱホバの預言者此にあらざるや
7 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, There is yet one man by whom to enquire of the Lord; but I hate him, for he does not prophesy concerning me for good, for all his days [are] for evil: this [is] Michaias the son of Jembla. And Josaphat said, Let not the king say so.
イスラエルの王こたへてヨシヤパテに言けるは外になほ一人あり我ら之によりてヱホバに問ことを得ん然ど彼は今まで我につきて善事を預言せず恒に惡き事のみを預言すれば我彼を惡むなり其者は即ちイムラの子ミカヤなりと然るにヨシヤパテこたへて王しか宣ふ勿れと言ければ
8 And the king called an eunuch, and said, [Fetch] quickly Michaias the son of Jembla.
イスラエルの王一人の官吏を呼てイムラの子ミカヤを急ぎ來らしめよと言り
9 And the king of Israel and Josaphat king of Juda were sitting each on his throne, and clothed in their robes, sitting in the open space at the entrance of the gate of Samaria: and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
イスラエルの王およびユダの王ヨシヤパテは朝衣を纏ひサマリアの門の入口の廣場にて各々その位に坐し居り預言者は皆その前に預言せり
10 And Sedekias son of Chanaan made for himself iron horns, and said, Thus says the Lord, With these you shall thrust Syria until it be consumed.
時にケナアナの子ゼデキヤ鐵の角を造りて言けるはヱホバかく言たまふ汝是等をもてスリア人を衝て滅ぼし盡すべしと
11 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth Galaad, and you shall prosper; and the Lord shall deliver it into the hands of the king.
預言者みな斯預言して云ふギレアデのラモテに攻上りて勝利を得たまへヱホバこれを王の手に付したまふべしと
12 And the messenger that went to call Michaias spoke to him, saying, Behold, the prophets have spoken favourably concerning the king with one mouth; let now, I pray you, your words be as [the words] of one of them, and do you speak good things.
茲にミカヤを召んとて往たる使者これに語りて言けるは預言者等の言は一の口より出るがごとくにして王に善し請ふ汝の言をも彼らの一人のごとくなして善事を言ヘ
13 And Michaias said, [As] the Lord lives, whatever God shall say to me, that will I speak.
ミカヤ言けるはヱホバは活く我神の宣ふ所を我は陳べんと
14 And he came to the king, and the king said to him, Michaias, shall I go up to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go up, and you shall prosper, and they shall be given into your hands.
かくて王に至るに王彼に言けるはミカヤよ我らギレアデのラモテに往て戰かふべきや又は罷べきや彼言けるは上りゆきて利を得たまへ彼らは汝の手に付されんと
15 And the king said to him, How often shall I solemnly charge you that you speak to me nothing but truth in the name of the Lord?
王かれに言けるは我幾度なんぢを誓はせたらば汝ヱホバの名をもて唯眞實のみを我に告るや
16 And he said, I saw Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep without a shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no commander; let each return to his home in peace.
彼言けるは我イスラエルが皆牧者なき羊のごとく山に散をるを見たるがヱホバ是等の者は主なし各々やすらかに其家に歸るべしと言たまへり
17 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, Said I not to you, that he would not prophesy concerning me good, but evil?
イスラエルの王是においてヨシヤパテに言けるは我なんぢに告て彼は善事を我に預言せず只惡き事のみを預言せんと言しに非ずやと
18 But he said, Not so. Hear you the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven stood by on his right hand and on his left.
ミカヤまた言けるは然ば汝らヱホバの言を聽べし我視しにヱホバその位に坐し居たまひて天の萬軍その傍に右左に立をりしが
19 And the Lord said, Who will deceive Achaab king of Israel, that he may go up, and fall in Ramoth Galaad? And one spoke this way, and another spoke that way.
ヱホバ言たまひけるは誰かイスラエルの王アハブを誘ひて彼をしてギレアデのラモテにのぼりゆきて彼處に斃れしめんかと即ち一は此ごとくせんと言ひ一は彼ごとくせんと言ければ
20 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will deceive him. And the Lord said, Whereby?
遂に一の霊すすみ出てヱホバの前に立ち我かれを誘はんと言たればヱホバ何をもてするかと之に問たまふに
21 And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And [the Lord] said, You shall deceive [him], and shall prevail: go forth, and do so.
我いでて虚言を言ふ霊となりてその諸の預言者の口にあらんと言りヱホバ言たまひけるは汝は誘なひ且これを成就ん出て然すべしと
22 And now, behold, the Lord has put a false spirit in the mouth of these your prophets, and the Lord has spoken evil against you.
故に視よヱホバ虚言を言ふ霊を汝のこの預言者等の口に入たまへり而してヱホバ汝に災禍を降さんと定めたまふと
23 Then Sedekias the son of Chanaan drew near, and struck Michaias on the cheek, and said to him, By what way passed the Spirit of the Lord from me to speak to you?
時にケナアナの子ゼデキヤ近よりてミカヤの頬を批て言けるはヱホバの霊何の途より我を離れゆきて汝と言ふや
24 And Michaias said, Behold, you shall see in that day, when you shall go from chamber to chamber to hide yourself.
ミカヤ言けるは汝奧の室にいりて身を匿す日に見るべし
25 And the king of Israel said, Take Michaias, and carry him back to Emer the governor of the city, and to Joas the captain, the king's son;
イスラエルの王いひけるはミカヤを取てこれを邑の宰アモンおよび王の子ヨアシに曳かへりて言べし
26 and you shall say, Thus said the king, Put this fellow into the prison house, and let him eat the bread of affliction, and [drink] the water of affliction, until I return in peace.
王かく言ふ我が安然に歸るまで比者を牢にいれて苦惱のパンを食せ苦惱の水を飮せよと
27 And Michaias said, If you do at all return in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, all you people.
ミカヤ言けるは汝もし眞に平安に歸るならばヱホバ我によりて斯宣ひし事あらずと而してまた言り汝ら民よ皆聽べしと
28 So the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, went up to Ramoth Galaad.
かくてイスラエルの王およびユダの王ヨシヤパテはギレアデのラモテに上りゆけり
29 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, Disguise me, and I will enter into the battle: and do you put on my raiment. so the king of Israel disguised himself, and entered into the battle.
イスラエルの王時にヨシヤパテに言けるは我は服装を變て戰陣の中にいらん汝は朝衣を纒ひたまへとイスラエルの王すなはち服装を變へ二人倶に戰陣の中にいれり
30 Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight neither against small nor great, but only against the king of Israel.
スリアの王その戰車の長等にかねて命じおけり云く汝ら小き者とか大なる者とも戰ふなかれ惟イスラエルの王とのみ戰へと
31 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Josaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel: and they compassed him about to fight against him: and Josaphat cried out, and the Lord delivered him; and God turned them away from him.
戰車の長等ヨシヤパテを見て是はイスラエルの王ならんと言ひ身をめぐらして之と戰はんとせしがヨシヤパテ號呼ければヱホバこれを助けたまへり即ち神彼らを感動して之を離れしめたまふ
32 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned away from him.
戰車の長等彼がイスラエルの王にあらざるを見しかば之を追ことをやめて引返せり
33 And a man drew a bow with a good aim, and struck the king of Israel between the lungs and the breast-plate: and he said to the charioteer, Turn your hand, drive me out of the battle, for I am wounded.
茲に一箇の人何心なく弓を彎てイスラエルの王の胸當と草摺の間に射あてたれば彼その御者に言けるは我傷を受たれば汝手を旋らして我を軍中より出せと
34 And the battle turned in that day; and the king of Israel remained on the chariot against Syria until evening, and died at sunset.
此日戰爭烈しくなりぬイスラエルの王は車の中に自ら扶持て立ち薄暮までスリア人をささへをりしが日の沒る頃にいたりて死り
