2 Kings 1
1 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 Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper room that was in Samaria, and was sick. So he sent messengers, and said to them, "Go, inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover of this sickness."
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 But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, "Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and tell them, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you go to inquire 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 Now therefore thus says the LORD, "You shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die."'" Elijah 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 The messengers returned to him, and he said to them, "Why is it that you have 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 They said to him, "A man came up to meet us, and said to us, 'Go, return to the king who sent you, and tell him, "Thus says the LORD, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you send to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.'"'"
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 He said to them, "What kind of man was he who came up to meet you, and told you these words?"
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 They answered him, "He was a hairy man, and wearing a leather belt around his waist." He said, "It is Elijah 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 Then the king sent a captain of fifty with his fifty to him. He went up to him; and look, he was sitting on the top of the hill. He said to him, "Man of God, the king has said, 'Come down.'"
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 Elijah answered to the captain of fifty, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty." Fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
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 Again he sent to him another captain of fifty and his fifty. And he went up and said to him, "Man of God, the king has said, 'Come down quickly.'"
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 And Elijah answered and said to him, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty." The fire of God came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
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 And he tried again and sent a third captain with his fifty. The third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, and said to him, "Man of God, please let my life, and the life of these fifty your servants, be precious in your 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 Look, fire came down from the sky, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties. But now let my life be precious in your 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 The angel of the LORD said to Elijah, "Go down with him. Do not be afraid of him." He arose, and went down with him to 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 He said to him, "Thus says the LORD, 'Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.'"
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 died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And his brother Jehoram began to reign in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
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 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, aren't they written in the book 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
