2 Chronicles 21

1 Jehoshaphat slept with his ancestors and was buried with them in the city of David; Jehoram, his son, became king in his place.

ヨシヤパテその先祖等とともに寝りてダビデの邑にその先祖等とともに葬られその子ヨラムこれに代て王となる

2 Jehoram had brothers, sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariahu, Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were sons of Jehoshaphat, king of Israel.

ヨシヤパテの子たるその兄弟はアザリヤ、ヱヒエル、ゼカリヤ、アザリヤ、ミカエルおよびシバテヤ是みなイスラエルの王ヨシヤパテの子なり

3 Their father had given them large gifts of silver, gold, and other precious things, and also fortified cities in Judah, but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram.

その父彼らに金銀寶物の賜物を多く與へまたユダの守衛の邑々を與へけるが國はヨラムに與へたりヨラム長子なりければなり

4 Now when Jehoram had risen up over his father's kingdom and had firmly established himself as king, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and also various other leaders of Israel.

ヨラムその父の位に登りて力つよくなりければその兄弟等をことごとく劍にかけて殺し又イスラエルの牧伯等數人を殺せり

5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem.

ヨラムは三十二歳の時位に即ヱルサレムにて八年の間世を治めたり

6 He walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab was doing, for he had Ahab's daughter as his wife, and he did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh.

彼はアハブの家のなせるごとくイスラエルの王等の道にあゆめりアハブの女を妻となしたればなり斯かれヱホバの目に惡と觀たまふ事をなせしかども

7 However, Yahweh did not wish to destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David; he had promised that he would always give life to him and his descendants.

ヱホバ曩にダビデに契約をなし且彼とその子孫とに永遠に光明を與へんと言たまひし故によりてダビデの家を滅ぼすことを欲み給はざりき

8 In Jehoram's days, Edom revolted from the control of Judah, and they set a king over themselves.

ヨラムの世にエドム人叛きてユダの手に服せず自ら王を立たれば

9 Then Jehoram crossed over with his commanders and all his chariots. It was night when he rose up and fought against the Edomites who had surrounded him and his chariot commanders.

ヨラム其牧伯等および一切の戰車をしたがへて渉りゆき夜の中に起いでて自己を圍めるエドム人を撃ちその戰車の長等を撃り

10 So Edom has been in rebellion from the control of Judah to this present day. Libnah also revolted at the same time from his control, because Jehoram had forsaken Yahweh, the God of his ancestors.

エドム人は斯叛きてユダの手に服せずなりしが今日まで然り此時にあたりてリブナもまた叛きてユダの手に服せずなりぬ是はヨラムその先祖の神ヱホバを棄たるに因てなり

11 In addition, Jehoram had also built high places in the mountains of Judah and he made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to live like prostitutes, and he led Judah astray.

彼またユダの山々に崇邱を作りてヱルサレムの民に姦淫をおこなはせユダを惑はせり

12 A letter from the prophet Elijah came to Jehoram. It said, “This is what Yahweh, the God of David, your ancestor, says: Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat, your father, nor in the ways of Asa, king of Judah,

時に預言者エリヤの書ヨラムの許に達せり其言に云く汝の先祖ダビデの神ヱホバかく言たまふ汝はその父ヨシヤパテの道にあゆまずまたユダの王アサの道にあゆまずして

13 but have walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to act like a prostitute, as the house of Ahab did—and because you have also killed your brothers in your father's family, men who were better than yourself—

イスラエルの王等の道にあゆみユダの人とヱルサレムの民をしてアハブの家の姦淫をなせるごとくに姦淫を行はしめまた汝の父の家の者にて汝に愈れるところの汝の兄弟等を殺せり

14 see, Yahweh will strike with a great plague your people, your children, your wives, and all your possessions.

故にヱホバ大なる災禍をもて汝の民汝の子女汝の妻等および汝の一切の所有を撃たまふべし

15 You yourself will have much sickness because of a disease in your intestines, until your intestines fall out because of the sickness, day after day.”

汝はまた臓腑の疾を得て大病になりその疾日々に重りて臓腑つひに墜んと

16 Yahweh stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and of the Arabians who were near the Cushites.

即ちヱホバ、ヨラムを攻させんとてエテオピアに近きところのペリシテ人とアラビヤ人の心を振起したまひければ

17 They attacked Judah, invaded it, and carried away all the wealth that was found in the king's house. They also carried away his sons and his wives. No son was left to him except Jehoahaz, his youngest son.

彼らユダに攻のぼりて之を侵し王の家に在ところの貨財を盡く奪ひ取りまたヨウムの子等と妻等をも携へ去れり是をもてその末子ヱホアハズの外には一人も遺れる者なかりき

18 After all this, Yahweh struck him in his intestines with an incurable disease.

此もろもろの事の後ヱホバ彼を撃て臓腑に愈ざる疾を生ぜしめたまひければ

19 It came about in due time, at the end of two years, that his intestines fell out because of his sickness, and that he died of severe disease. His people made no fire in his honor as they had done for his ancestors.

月日を送り二年を經るにおよびてその臓腑疾のために墜ち重き病苦によりて死ねり民かれの先祖のために焚物をなせし如く彼のためには焚物をなさざりき

20 He had begun to reign when he was thirty-two years old; he reigned in Jerusalem for eight years, and when he departed no one mourned him. They buried him in the city of David, but not in the royal tombs.

彼は三十二歳の時位に即き八年の間ヱルサレムにて世を治めて終に薨去れり之を惜む者なかりき人衆これをダビデの邑に葬れり但し王等の墓にはあらず
