2 Chronicles 25

1 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.

アマジヤは二十五歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて二十九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ホアダンといふ

2 He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, but not with a perfect heart.

アマジヤはヱホバの善と視たまふ事を行なひしかども心を全うしてこれを爲ざりき

3 Now when the kingdom was established to him, he killed his servants who had killed his father the king.

彼國のおのが手に堅く立つにおよびてその父王を弑せし臣僕等を殺せり

4 But he didn’t put their children to death, but did according to that which is written in the law in the book of Moses, as the LORD commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.”

然どその子女等をば殺さずしてモーセの書の律法に記せるごとく爲り即ちヱホバ命じて言たまはく父はその子女の故によりて殺さるべからず子女はその父の故によりて殺さるべからず各々おのれの罪によりて殺さるべきなりと

5 Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together and ordered them according to their fathers’ houses, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, even all Judah and Benjamin. He counted them from twenty years old and upward, and found that there were three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go out to war, who could handle spear and shield.

アマジヤ、ユダの人を集めその父祖の家にしたがひて或は千人の長に附屬せしめ或に百人の長に附屬せしむユダとベニヤミンともに然り且二十歳以上の者を數へ戈と楯とを執て戰闘に臨む倔強の士三十萬を得

6 He also hired one hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for one hundred talents of silver.

また銀百タラントをもてイスラエルより大勇士十萬を傭へり

7 A man of God came to him, saying, “O king, don’t let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD is not with Israel, with all the children of Ephraim.

時に神の人かれに詣りて言けるは王よイスラエルの軍勢をして汝とともに往しむる勿れヱホバはイスラエル人すなはちエフライムの子孫とは偕にいまさざるなり

8 But if you will go, take action, and be strong for the battle. God will overthrow you before the enemy; for God has power to help, and to overthrow.”

汝もし往ば心を強くして戰闘を爲せ神なんぢをして敵の前に斃れしめたまはん神は助くる力ありまた倒す力あるなり

9 Amaziah said to the man of God, “But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel?” The man of God answered, “The LORD is able to give you much more than this.”

アマジヤ神の人にいひけるは然ば已にイスラエルの軍隊に與へたる百タラントを如何にすべきや神の人答へけるはヱホバは其よりも多き者を汝に賜ふことを得るなりと

10 Then Amaziah separated them, the army that had come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again. Therefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger.

是においてアマジヤかのエフライムより來りて己に就る軍隊を分離してその處に歸らしめければ彼らユダにむかひて烈しく怒を發し火のごとくに怒りてその處に歸れり

11 Amaziah took courage, and led his people out and went to the Valley of Salt, and struck ten thousand of the children of Seir.

かくてアマジヤは力を強くしその民を率ゐて鹽の谷に往きセイル人一萬を撃殺せり

12 The children of Judah carried away ten thousand alive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and threw them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were broken in pieces.

ユダの子孫またこの外に一萬人を生擒て磐の頂に曳ゆき磐の頂よりこれを投おとしければ皆微塵に碎けたり

13 But the men of the army whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell on the cities of Judah from Samaria even to Beth Horon, and struck of them three thousand, and took much plunder.

前にアマジヤが己とともに戰闘に往べからずとして歸し遣たる軍卒等サマリアよりベテホロンまでのユダの邑々を襲ひ人三千を撃ころし物を多く奪ふ

14 Now after Amaziah had come from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them and burnt incense to them.

アマジヤ、エドム人を戮して歸る時にセイル人の神々を携さへ來り之を安置して己の神となしその前に禮拝をなし之に香を焚り

15 Therefore the LORD’s anger burnt against Amaziah, and he sent to him a prophet who said to him, “Why have you sought after the gods of the people, which have not delivered their own people out of your hand?”

是をもてヱホバ、アマジヤにむかひて怒を發し預言者をこれに遣はして言しめたまひけるは彼民の神々は己の民を汝の手より救ふことを得ざりし者なるに汝なにとて之を求むるや

16 As he talked with him, the king said to him, “Have we made you one of the king’s counsellors? Stop! Why should you be struck down?” Then the prophet stopped, and said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel.”

彼かく王に語れる時王これにむかひ我儕汝を王の議官となせしや止よ汝なんぞ撃殺されんとするやと言ければ預言者すなはち止て言り我知る汝この事を行びて吾諌を聽いれざるによりて神なんぢを滅ぼさんと決めたまふと

17 Then Amaziah king of Judah consulted his advisers, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come! Let’s look one another in the face.”

斯てユダの王アマジヤ相議りて人をヱヒウの子ヱホアハズの子なるイスラエルの王ヨアシに遣し來れ我儕たがひに面をあはせんと言しめければ

18 Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as his wife. Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by and trampled down the thistle.

イスラエルの王ヨアシ、ユダの王アマジヤに言おくりけるはレバノンの荊蕀かつてレバノンの香柏に汝の女子を我子の妻に與へよと言おくりたること有しにレバノンの野獣とほりてその荊蕀を踏たふせり

19 You say to yourself that you have struck Edom; and your heart lifts you up to boast. Now stay at home. Why should you meddle with trouble, that you should fall, even you and Judah with you?’”

汝はエドム人を撃破れりと謂ひ心にたかぶりて誇る然ば汝家に安んじ居れ何ぞ禍を惹おこして自己もユダもともに亡びんとするやと

20 But Amaziah would not listen; for it was of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought after the gods of Edom.

然るにアマジヤ聽ことをせざりき此事は神より出たる者にて彼らをその敵の手に付さんがためなり是は彼らエドムの神々を求めしに因る

21 So Joash king of Israel went up, and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.

是においてイスラエルの王ヨアシ上りきたりユダのベテシメシにてユダの王アマジヤと面をあはせたりしが

22 Judah was defeated by Israel; so every man fled to his tent.

ユダ、イスラエルに撃敗られて各々その天幕に逃かへりぬ

23 Joash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth Shemesh and brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.

時にイスラエルの王ヨアシはヱホアハズの子ヨアシの子なるユダの王アマジヤをベテシメシに執へてヱルサレムに携へゆきヱルサレムの石垣をエフライムの門より隅の門まで四百キユビト程を毀ち

24 He took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in God’s house with Obed-Edom, and the treasures of the king’s house, and the hostages, and returned to Samaria.

また神の室の中にてオベデエドムが守り居る一切の金銀および諸の器皿ならびに王の家の財寳を取りかつ人質をとりてサマリアに歸れり

25 Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived for fifteen years after the death of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.

ユダの王ヨアシの子アマジヤはイスラエルの王ヱホアハズの子ヨアシの死てより後なほ十五年生存らへたり

26 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, aren’t they written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?

アマジヤのその餘の始終の行爲はユダとイスラエルの列王の書に記さるるにあらずや

27 Now from the time that Amaziah turned away from following the LORD, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. He fled to Lachish, but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.

アマジヤ翻へりてヱホバに從がはずなりし後ヱルサレムにおいて黨を結びて彼に敵する者ありければ彼ラキシに逃ゆきけるにその人々ラキシに人をやりて彼を其處に殺さしめたり

28 They brought him on horses and buried him with his fathers in the City of Judah.

人衆これを馬に負せてきたりユダの邑にてその先祖等とともにこれを葬りぬ
