< 2 Chronicles 26 >

1 All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the place of his father Amaziah.
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
2 He built Eloth and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept with his fathers.
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 was sixteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jechiliah, of 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 He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that 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 set himself to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the vision of God; and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him prosper.
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 He went out and fought against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities in the country of Ashdod, and amongst the Philistines.
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 him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians who lived in Gur Baal, and the Meunim.
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 The Ammonites gave tribute to Uzziah. His name spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt, for he grew exceedingly strong.
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 Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified 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 He built towers in the wilderness, and dug out many cisterns, for he had much livestock, both in the lowlands and in the plains. He had farmers and vineyard keepers in the mountains and in the fruitful fields, for he loved farming.
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 Moreover Uzziah had an army of fighting men who went out to war by bands, according to the number of their reckoning made by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king’s captains.
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 The whole number of the heads of fathers’ households, even the mighty men of valour, was two thousand and six hundred.
大勇士の族長の數は都合二千六百
13 Under their hand was an army, three hundred and seven thousand and five hundred, who made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.
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 prepared for them, even for all the army, shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones for slinging.
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, he made devices, invented by skilful men, to be on the towers and on the battlements, with which to shoot arrows and great stones. His name spread far abroad, because he was marvellously helped until he was strong.
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 when he was strong, his heart was lifted up, so that he did corruptly and he trespassed against the LORD his God, for he went into the LORD’s temple to burn incense on the altar of 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 priest went in after him, and with him eighty priests of the LORD, who were valiant men.
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 resisted Uzziah the king, and said to him, “It isn’t for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but for the priests the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed. It will not be for your honour from the LORD God.”
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 Then Uzziah was angry. He had a censer in his hand to burn incense, and while he was angry with the priests, the leprosy broke out on his forehead before the priests in the LORD’s house, beside the altar of incense.
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 Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and behold, he was leprous in his forehead; and they thrust him out quickly from there. Indeed, he himself also hurried to go out, because the LORD had struck him.
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 Uzziah the king was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the LORD’s house. Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land.
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 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, wrote.
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 So Uzziah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the field of burial which belonged to the kings, for they said, “He is a leper.” Jotham his son reigned in his place.
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
