2 Chronicles 24
1 Seven years old, was Joash when he began to reign, and, forty years, reigned he, in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Zibiah, of Beersheba.
ヨアシは七歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて四十年の間世を治めたりその母はベエルシバより出たる者にして名をヂビアといふ
2 And Joash did that which was right, in the eyes of Yahweh, -all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
ヨアシは祭司ヱホヤダの世にある日の間は恒にヱホバの善と觀たまふことを行へり
3 And Jehoiada took for him two wives, —and he begat sons and daughters.
ヱホヤダ彼のために二人の妻を娶れり男子女子生る
4 And it came to pass, after this, that it was near the heart of Joash to renew the house of Yahweh.
此後ヨアシ、ヱホバの室を修繕んと志し
5 So he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said unto them—Go ye out unto the cities of Judah, and gather out of all Israel silver to repair the house of your God, year by year, and, ye, shall hasten the matter, —but the Levites hastened it not.
祭司とレビ人を集めて之に言けるは汝ら出てユダの邑々に往き汝らの神ヱホバの室を歳々修繕ふべき金子をイスラエルの人衆より聚むべし其事を亟にせよと然るにレビ人これを亟にせざりき
6 Then the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Wherefore hast thou not required of the Levites, to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tribute of Moses the servant of Yahweh, and of the convocation of Israel, —for the tent of testimony?
王ヱホヤダ長を召てこれに言けるは汝なんぞレビ人に求めてヱホバの僕モーセおよびイスラエルの會衆の古昔證詞の幕屋のために集めたるが如き税をユダとヱルサレムより取きたらせざるやと
7 For, as for Athaliah the Lawless, her sons, brake up the House of God, —moreover, all the hallowed things of the house of Yahweh, offered they unto the Baalim.
かの惡き婦アタリヤの子等神の家を壞りかつヱホバの家の諸の奉納物をバアルに供へたり
8 So the king bade [them], and they made a certain chest, —and set it in the gate of the house of Yahweh, outside.
是において王の命にしたがひて一箇の匱を作りヱホバの室の門の外にこれを置き
9 And they made a proclamation, throughout Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in unto Yahweh the tribute of Moses the servant of God, laid upon Israel in the desert.
ユダとヱルサレムに宣布て汝ら神の僕モーセが荒野にてイスラエルに課したる如き税をヱホバに携へきたれと言けるに
10 And all the rulers and all the people rejoiced, —and brought in and cast into the chest, until they had finished.
一切の牧伯等および一切の民みな喜びて携へきたりその匱に投いれて遂に納めをはれり
11 And it came to pass, what time the chest was brought into the office of the king by the hand of the Levites, and when they had seen that abundant was the silver, that the scribe of the king came in, and the officer of the chief priest, and they emptied the chest, and bare it, and put it back in its place, —thus, they did, day by day, and collected silver, in abundance;
レビ人その匱に金の多くあるを見てこれを王の廳に携へゆく時は王の書記と祭司の長の下役きたりてその匱を傾むけ復これを取て本の處に持ゆけり日々に斯のごとくして金を聚むること夥多し
12 and the king and Jehoiada gave it unto such as were doing the work of labouring upon the house of Yahweh, and they were hiring masons and carpenters, to renew the house of Yahweh, —moreover also, such as were fashioners of iron and bronze, to repair the house of Yahweh.
而して王とヱホヤダこれをヱホバの家の工事を爲す者に付し石工および木匠を雇ひてヱホバの室を修繕はせまた鐵工および銅工を雇ひてヱホバの室を修復せしめけるが
13 So the doers of the work wrought, and the work of restoration went forward, in their hand, —and they caused the house of God to stand forth according to its due proportions, and made it strong.
工人動作てその工事を成をへ神の室を本の状に復してこれを堅固にす
14 And, when they had finished, they brought in before the king and Jehoiada the rest of the silver, and he made it into utensils for the house of Yahweh, utensils of attendance, and bowls and spoons, even utensils of gold and silver. Then were they offering ascending-sacrifices in the house of Yahweh, continually, all the days of Jehoiada.
その旣に成るにおよびて餘れる金を王とヱホヤダの前に持いたりければ其をもてヱホバの室のために器皿を作れり即ち奉事の器献祭の器および匙ならびに金銀の器を作れりヱホヤダが世に在る日の間はヱホバの室にて燔祭をささぐること絶ざりき
15 But Jehoiada waxed old and became satisfied with days, and died, —a hundred and thirty years old, when he died.
ヱホヤダは年邁み日滿て死りその死る時は百三十歳なりき
16 And they buried him in the city of David, with the kings, —because he had done good in Israel, both toward God and his house.
人衆ダビデの邑にて王等の中間にこれを葬むる其は彼イスラエルの中において神とその殿とにむかひて善事をおこなひたればなり
17 Now, after the death of Jehoiada, came the rulers of Judah, and bowed themselves down unto the king, —then, hearkened the king unto them.
ヱホヤダの死たる後ユダの牧伯等きたりて王を拝す是において王これに聽したがふ
18 And they forsook the house of Yahweh, God of their fathers, and served the Sacred Stems, and the images, —so there was wrath against Judah and Jerusalem, for this their guilt.
彼らその先祖の神ヱホバの室を棄てアシラ像および偶像に事へたればその愆のために震怒ユダとヱルサレムに臨めり
19 And he sent among them prophets, to bring them back unto Yahweh, —and they testified against them, but they would not give ear.
ヱホバかれらを己にひきかへさんとて預言者等を遣はし之にむかひて證をたてさせたまひしかども聽ことをせざりき
20 And, the spirit of God, clothed Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest, and he took his stand above the people, —and said unto them, Thus, saith God, Wherefore are, ye, transgressing the commandments of Yahweh, so that ye cannot prosper, because ye have forsaken Yahweh, therefore hath he forsaken you.
是において神の霊祭司ヱホヤダの子ゼカリヤに臨みければ彼民の前に高く起あがりて之に言けるは神かく宣ふ汝らヱホバの誡命を犯して災禍を招くは何ぞや汝らヱホバを棄たればヱホバも汝らを棄たまふと
21 So they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones, by the commandment of the king, —in the court of the house of Yahweh.
然るに人衆かれを害せんと謀り王の命によりて石をもてこれをヱホバの室の庭にて撃殺せり
22 Thus Joash the king, remembered not, the lovingkindness which Jehoiada his father had done for him, but slew his son, —and, as he died, he said, Yahweh see and require!
斯ヨアシ王はゼカリヤの父ヱホヤダが己にほどこせし恩を念ずしてその子を殺せり彼死る時にヱホバこれを顧みこれを問討したまへと言り
23 And it came to pass, when the year had gone round, that the force of Syria came up against him, and they entered Judah, and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the rulers of the people, from among the people, —and, all the spoil of them, sent they unto the king of Damascus.
かくてその年の終るにおよびてスリアの軍勢かれにむかひて攻のぼりユダとヱルサレムにいたりて民の牧伯等をことごとく民の中より滅ぼし絶ちその掠取物を凡てダマスコの王に遣れり
24 Although, with a comparatively few men, came the force of Syria, yet, Yahweh, delivered into their hand an exceeding large force, —because they had forsaken Yahweh, the God of their fathers, —and, upon Joash, executed they judgments.
この時スリアの軍勢は小勢にて來りけるにヱホバ大軍をこれが手に付したまへり是はその先祖の神ヱホバを棄たるが故なり斯かれらヨアシを罰せり
25 And, when they had departed from him, for they left him with sore diseases, his own servants conspired against him, for the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him upon his bed, and he died, —and, though they buried him in the city of David, yet did they not bury him in the sepulchres of the kings.
スリア人ヨアシに大傷をおはせて遺去けるがヨアシの臣僕等祭司ヱホヤダの子等の血のために黨をむすびて之に叛き之をその床の上に弑して死しめたり人衆これをダビデの邑に葬れり但し王の墓には葬らざりき
26 Now, these, are they that conspired against him, —Zabad son of Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad son of Shimrith the Moabitess.
黨をむすびて之に叛きし者はアンモンの婦シメアテの子ザバデおよびモアブの婦シムリテの子ヨザバデなりき
27 But, as for his sons, and the greatness of the oracle on him, and the foundation of the house of God, lo! there they are written, in the commentary of the Book of Kings, —and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
ヨアシの子等の事ヨアシの告られし預言および神の室を修繕し事などは列王の書の註釋に記さるヨアシの子アマジヤこれに代りて王となれり
