< 2 Kings 11 >

1 Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal offspring.
茲にアハジアの母アタリヤその子の死たるを見て起て王の種を盡く滅したりしが
2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were slain, even him and his nurse, and put them in the bedroom; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
ヨラム王の女にしてアハジアの姉妹なるヱホシバといふ者アハジアの子ヨアシを王の子等の殺さるる者の中より竊みとり彼とその乳母を夜着の室にいれて彼をアタリヤに匿したれば終にころされざりき
3 He was with her hidden in Yahweh’s house six years while Athaliah reigned over the land.
ヨアシは彼とともに六年ヱホバの家に隱れてをりアタリヤ國を治めたり
4 In the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains over hundreds of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him into Yahweh’s house; and he made a covenant with them, and made a covenant with them in Yahweh’s house, and showed them the king’s son.
第七年にいたりヱホヤダ人を遣して近衛兵の大將等を招きよせヱホバの家にきたりて己に就しめ彼等と契約を結び彼らにヱホバの家にて誓をなさしめて王の子を見し
5 He commanded them, saying, “This is what you must do: a third of you, who come in on the Sabbath, shall be keepers of the watch of the king’s house;
かれらに命じて言ふ汝等がなすべき事は是なり汝等安息日に入きたる者は三分の一は王の家をまもり
6 a third of you shall be at the gate Sur; and a third of you at the gate behind the guard. So you shall keep the watch of the house, and be a barrier.
三分の一はスル門にをり三分の一は近衛兵の後の門にをるべし斯なんぢら宮殿をまもりて人をいるべからず
7 The two companies of you, even all who go out on the Sabbath, shall keep the watch of Yahweh’s house around the king.
また凡て汝等安息日に出ゆく者はその二手ともにヱホバの家において王をまもるべし
8 You shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he who comes within the ranks, let him be slain. Be with the king when he goes out, and when he comes in.”
すなはち汝らおのおの武器を手にとりて王を環て立べし凡てその列を侵す者をば殺すべし汝等又王の出る時にも入る時にも王とともにをるべし
9 The captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they each took his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
是においてその將官等祭司ヱホヤダが凡て命ぜしごとくにおこなへり即ちかれらおのおの其手の人の安息日に入くべき者と安息日に出ゆくべき者とを率て祭司ヱホヤダに至りしかば
10 The priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that had been King David’s, which were in Yahweh’s house.
祭司はヱホバの殿にあるダビデ王の槍と楯を大將等にわたせり
11 The guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, around the king.
近衛兵はおのおの手に武器をとりて王の四周にをり殿の右の端より左の端におよびて壇と殿にそひて立つ
12 Then he brought out the king’s son, and put the crown on him, and gave him the covenant; and they made him king and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, “Long live the king!”
ヱホヤダすなはち王子を進ませて之に冠冕をいただかせ律法をわたし之を王となして之に膏をそそぎければ人衆手を拍て王長壽かれと言り
13 When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into Yahweh’s house;
茲にアタリヤ近衛兵と民の聲を聞きヱホバの殿にいりて民の所にいたり
14 and she looked, and behold, the king stood by the pillar, as the tradition was, with the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and cried, “Treason! Treason!”
見るに王は常例のごとくに高座の上に立ち其傍に大將等と喇叭手立をり又國の民みな喜びて喇叭を吹をりしかばアタリヤ其衣を裂て反逆なり反逆なりと叫べり
15 Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks. Kill anyone who follows her with the sword.” For the priest said, “Don’t let her be slain in Yahweh’s house.”
時に祭司ヱホヤダ大將等と軍勢の士官等に命じてこれに言ふ彼をして列の間をとほりて出しめよ彼に從がふ者をば劍をもて殺せと前にも祭司は彼をヱホバの家に殺すべからずと言おけり
16 So they seized her; and she went by the way of the horses’ entry to the king’s house, and she was slain there.
是をもて彼のために路をひらきければ彼王の家の馬道をとほりゆきしが遂に其處に殺されぬ
17 Jehoiada made a covenant between Yahweh and the king and the people, that they should be Yahweh’s people; also between the king and the people.
斯てヱホヤダはヱホと王と民の間にその皆ヱホバの民とならんといふ契約を立しめたり亦王と民の間にもこれを立しめたり
18 All the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and broke it down. They broke his altars and his images in pieces thoroughly, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. The priest appointed officers over Yahweh’s house.
是をもて國の民みなバアルの家にいりてこれを毀ちその壇とその像を全く打碎きバアルの祭司マツタンをその壇の前に殺せり而して祭司ヱホバの家に監督者を設けたり
19 He took the captains over hundreds, and the Carites, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from Yahweh’s house, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king’s house. He sat on the throne of the kings.
ヱホヤダすなはち大將等と近衛兵と國の諸の民を率てヱホバの家より王をみちびき下り近衛兵の門の途よりして王の家にいたり王の位に坐せしめたり
20 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. They had slain Athaliah with the sword at the king’s house.
斯有しかば國の民はみな喜びて邑は平穩なりきアタリヤは王の家に殺されぬ
21 Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.
ヨアシは位に即し時七歳なりき
