2 Chronicles 26
1 After King Amaziah died, all the people of Judah appointed his son Uzziah, who then was 16 years old, as their king. [One of the things that happened] while he was the king [was that] his men captured Elath [town on the Gulf of Aqaba] and rebuilt it.
是においてユダの民みなウジヤをとりて王となしてその父アマジヤに代らしめたり時に年十六なりき
彼エラテの邑を建てこれを再びユダに歸せしむ是はかの王がその先祖等とともに寝りし後なりき
3 Uzziah ruled in Jerusalem for 52 years. His mother was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.
ウジヤは十六歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて五十二年の間世を治めたりその母はヱルサレムの者にして名をヱコリアといふ
4 Uzziah did things that Yahweh considered to be good, like his father Amaziah had done.
ウジヤはその父アマジヤが凡てなしたる如くヱホバの善と觀たまふ事を行ひ
5 He tried to please God while [the priest] Zechariah was living, because Zechariah taught him to revere God. As long as Uzziah tried to please God, God enabled him to be successful.
神の默示に明なりしかのゼカリヤの世にある日の間心をこめてヱホバを求めたりそのヱホバを求むる間は神これをして幸福ならしめたまへり
6 Uzziah and his army started to fight against the army of Philistia. They tore down the walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod [cities]. Then they rebuilt the towns near Ashdod and in other places in Philistia.
彼いでてペリシテ人と戰ひガテの石垣ヤブネの石垣およびアシドドの石垣を圮しアシドドの地ならびにペリシテ人の中間に邑を建つ
7 God helped them to fight the army of Philistia and the Arabs who lived in [the town of] Gur-Baal and the descendants of Meun who had come to that area from Edom.
神かれを助けてペリシテ人グルバアルに住むアラビヤ人およびメウニ人を攻撃しめたまへり
8 Even the Ammon [people-group] paid taxes to Uzziah each year. So Uzziah became famous as far as the border of Egypt, because he had become very powerful.
アンモニ人はまたウジヤに貢を納るウジヤの名つひにエジプトの入口までも廣まれり其は甚だ強くなりければなり
9 Uzziah’s [workers] built watchtowers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, at the Valley Gate, and at the place where the wall turns, and they placed weapons in them.
ウジヤ、ヱルサレムの隅の門谷の門および角隅に戌樓を建てこれを堅固にし
10 They also built watchtowers in the desert and dug many wells. They did that [to provide water] for a lot of the king’s cattle that were in the foothills and in the plains. Uzziah liked farming, so he also stationed workers [to take care of] his fields and vineyards in the hills and in the fertile areas.
また荒野に戌樓を建て許多の水溜を掘り其は家畜を多く有たればなり亦平野にも平地にも家畜を有り又山々およびカルメルには農夫と葡萄を修る者を有り農事を好みたればなり
11 Uzziah’s army was trained for fighting battles. They were in groups that were always ready to go into battle. Jeiel, the king’s secretary, and Maaseiah, one of the army officers, counted the men and placed them in groups. Hananiah, one of the king’s officials, was their commander.
ウジヤ戰士一旅團あり書記ヱイエルと牧伯マアセヤの數調査によりて隊々にわかれて戰爭に出づ皆王の軍長ハナニヤの手に屬す
12 There were 2,600 leaders of those groups of soldiers.
大勇士の族長の數は都合二千六百
13 In the groups that those leaders commanded there were a total of 307,500 well-trained soldiers. It was a very powerful army which was ready to help the king fight against his enemies.
その手に屬する軍勢は三十萬七千五百人みな大なる力をもて戰ひ王を助けて敵に當る
14 Uzziah gave to each soldier a shield, a spear, a helmet, a vest made of iron plates, a bow [and arrows], and a slingshot.
ウジヤその全軍のために楯戈兜鎧弓および投石器の石を備ふ
15 In Jerusalem his skilled workers made machines to put on the watchtowers and on the corners [of the walls], to shoot arrows and to hurl large stones. He became very famous even in distant places, because God helped him very much and enabled him to become very powerful.
彼またヱルサレムにおいて工人に機械を案へ造らしめ之を戌樓および石垣に施こし之をもて矢ならびに大石を射出せり是においてその名遠く廣まれり其は非常の援助を蒙りて旺盛になりたればなり
16 But because Uzziah was very powerful, he became very proud, and that led to his being punished. He disobeyed what Yahweh his God had commanded. He went into the temple to burn incense on the altar [where God had said that only the priests should burn] incense.
然るに彼旺盛になるにおよびその心に高ぶりて惡き事を行なへり即ち彼その神ヱホバにむかひて罪を犯しヱホバの殿に入て香壇の上に香を焚んとせり
17 Azariah the [Supreme] Priest and 80 other brave priests followed him into the temple.
時に祭司アザリヤ、ヱホバの祭司たる勇者八十人を率ゐて彼の後にしたがひ入り
18 They rebuked him and said to him, “Uzziah, it is not right for you to burn incense to [honor] Yahweh. That duty is only for the priests, those who are descendants of Aaron [our first Supreme Priest]! You must leave [immediately], because you have disobeyed Yahweh our God, and he will not honor you [for what you have done]!”
ウジヤ王を阻へてこれに言けるはウジヤよヱホバに香を焚ことは汝のなすべき所にあらずアロンの子孫にして香を焚ために潔められたる祭司等のなすべき所なり聖所より出よ汝は罪を犯せりヱホバ神なんぢに榮を加へたまはじと
19 Uzziah had in his hand a pan for burning incense. He became very angry with the priests, but suddenly there was leprosy on his forehead.
是においてウジヤ怒を發し香爐を手にとりて香を焚んとせしがその祭司にむかひて怒を發しをる間に癩病その額に起れり時に彼はヱホバの室にて祭司等の前にあたりて香壇の側にをる
20 When Azariah the [Supreme] Priest and all the other priests [who were there] looked at him, they saw the leprosy on his forehead, so they quickly took him outside. And truly the king was eager to leave the temple, because he knew that it was Yahweh who had caused him to have that leprosy, [and he did not want it to become worse.]
祭司の長アザリヤおよび一切の祭司等彼を見しに已にその額に癩病生じゐたれば彼を其處より速にいだせり彼もまたヱホバの己を撃たまへるを見て自ら急ぎて出去り
21 King Uzziah had leprosy until he died. And because he had leprosy, he lived in a house that was not near other houses, and he was not allowed to enter [the courtyard of] the temple. His son Jotham supervised the palace and ruled the people of Judah.
ウジヤ王はその死る日まで癩病人となり居しがその癩病人となるにおよびては別殿に住りヱホバの室より斷れたればなり其子ヨタム王の家を管理て國の民を審判り
22 A record of all the other things that Uzziah did while he was the king [of Judah] was written by the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz.
ウジヤのその餘の始終の行爲はアモツの子預言者イザヤこれを書記したり
23 Because Uzziah was a leper, [when he died, ] they would not bury him in the tombs where the other kings were buried. Instead, he was buried in a nearby cemetery that the kings owned. Then his son Jotham became the king [of Judah].
ウジヤその先祖等とともに寝りたれば彼は癩病人なりとて王等の墓に連接る地にこれを葬りてその先祖等とともならしむその子ヨタムこれに代りて王となれり
