列王記Ⅰ 22
1 スリアとイスラエルの間に戰爭なくして三年を經たり
Then three years passed without war between Syria and Israel.
2 第三年にユダの王ヨシヤパテ、イスラエルの王の所に降れり
But in the third year, Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, descended to the king of Israel.
3 イスラエルの王其臣僕に言けるはギレアデのラモテは我儕の所有なるを爾等知や然るに我儕はスリアの王の手より之を取ることをせずして默しをるなり
And the king of Israel said to his servants, “Are you ignorant that Ramoth Gilead is ours, and that we have neglected to take it from the hand of the king of Syria?”
4 彼ヨシヤパテに言けるは爾我と共にギレアデのラモテに戰ひにゆくやヨシヤパテ、イスラエルの王にいひけるは我は爾のごとくわが民は爾の民の如くわが馬は爾の馬の如しと
And so he said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you come to the battle with me at Ramoth Gilead?”
5 ヨシヤパテ、イスラエルの王に言けるは請ふ今日ヱホバの言を問へ
And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel: “As I am, so also are you. My people and your people are one. And my horsemen are your horsemen.” And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “I beg you to inquire today of the word of the Lord.”
6 是においてイスラエルの王預言者四百人許を集めて之に言けるは我ギレアデのラモテに戰ひにゆくべきや又は罷べきや彼等曰けるは上るべし主之を王の手に付したまふべしと
Therefore, the king of Israel gathered together the prophets, about four hundred men, and he said to them, “Should I go to Ramoth Gilead to make war, or should I be at peace?” They responded, “Ascend, and the Lord will give it into the hand of the king.”
7 ヨシヤパテ曰けるは外に我儕の由て問べきヱホバの預言者此にあらざるや
Then Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here a particular prophet of the Lord, so that we may inquire by him?”
8 イスラエルの王ヨシヤパテに言けるは外にイムラの子ミカヤ一人あり之に由てヱホバに問ふことを得ん然ど彼は我に關て善事を預言せず唯惡事のみを預言すれば我彼を惡むなりとヨシヤパテ曰けるは王然言たまふなかれと
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “One man remains, by whom we may be able to inquire of the Lord: Micaiah, the son of Imlah. But I hate him. For he does not prophecy good to me, but evil.” And Jehoshaphat said, “You should not speak in this way, O king.”
9 是によりてイスラエルの王一箇の官吏を呼てイムラの子ミカヤを急ぎ來らしめよと言り
Therefore, the king of Israel called a certain eunuch, and he said to him, “Hurry to bring here Micaiah, the son of Imlah.”
10 イスラエルの王およびユダの王ヨシヤパテ朝衣を著てサマリアの門の入口の廣場に各其位に坐しゐたり預言者は皆其前に預言せり
Now the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were each sitting upon his own throne, clothed in the habit of royal vestments, in a courtyard beside the entrance of the gate of Samaria. And all the prophets were prophesying in their sight.
11 ケナアナの子ゼデキヤ鐵の角を造りて言けるはヱホバ斯言給ふ爾是等を以てスリア人を抵觸て之を盡すべしと
Also, Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made for himself horns of iron, and he said, “Thus says the Lord: With these, you shall threaten Syria, until you destroy it.”
12 預言者皆斯預言して言ふギレアデのラモテに上りて勝利を獲たまへヱホバ之を王の手に付したまふべしと
And all the prophets were prophesying similarly, saying: “Ascend to Ramoth Gilead, and go forth to success. For the Lord will deliver it into the hands of the king.”
13 茲にミカヤを召んとて往たる使者之に語りて言けるは預言者等の言一の口の如くにして王に善し請ふ汝の言を彼等の一人の言の如くならしめて善事を言へと
Then truly, the messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah spoke to him, saying: “Behold, the words of the prophets, as if with one mouth, are predicting good to the king. Therefore, let your word be like theirs, and speak what is good.”
14 ミカヤ曰けるはヱホバは生くヱホバの我に言たまふ事は我之を言んと
But Micaiah said to him, “As the Lord lives, whatever the Lord will have said to me, this shall I speak.”
15 かくて彼王に至るに王彼に言けるはミカヤよ我儕ギレアデのラモテに戰ひに往くべきや又は罷べきや彼王に言けるは上りて勝利を得たまへヱホバ之を王の手に付したまふべしと
And so he went to the king. And the king said to him, “Micaiah, should we go to Ramoth Gilead to do battle, or should we cease?” And he responded to him, “Ascend, and go forth to success, and the Lord will deliver it into the hands of the king.”
16 王彼に言けるは我幾度汝を誓はせたらば汝ヱホバの名を以て唯眞實のみを我に告るや
But the king said to him, “I require you under oath, again and again, that you not say to me anything except what is true, in the name of the Lord.”
17 彼言けるは我イスラエルの皆牧者なき羊のごとく山に散をるを見たるにヱホバ是等の者は主なし各安然に其家に歸るべしと言たまへりと
And he said: “I saw all of Israel scattered among the hills, like sheep that have no shepherd. And the Lord said: ‘These have no master. Let each of them return to his own house in peace.’”
18 イスラエルの王ヨシヤパテに言けるは我汝に彼は我について善き事を預言せず唯惡き事のみを預言すと告たるにあらすやと
Therefore, the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “Did I not tell you that he prophesies nothing good to me, but always evil?”
19 ミカヤ言けるは然ば汝ヱホバの言を聽べし我ヱホバの其位に坐しゐたまひて天の萬軍の其傍に右左に立つを見たるに
Yet truly, continuing, he said: “Because of his, listen to the word of the Lord. I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne. And the entire army of heaven was standing beside him, to the right and to the left.
20 ヱホバ言たまひけるは誰かアハブを誘ひて彼をしてギレアデのラモテに上りて弊れしめんかと則ち一は此の如くせんと言ひ一は彼の如くせんといへり
And the Lord said, ‘Who will mislead Ahab, the king of Israel, so that he may ascend and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ And one spoke words in this manner, and another spoke otherwise.
21 遂に一の霊進み出てヱホバの前に立ち我彼を誘はんと言ければ
But then a spirit went out and stood before the Lord. And he said, ‘I will mislead him.’ And the Lord said to him, ‘By what means?’
22 ヱホバ彼に何を以てするかと言たまふに我出て虚言を言ふ霊となりて其諸の預言者の口にあらんと言りヱホバ言たまひけるは汝は誘ひ亦之を成し遂ん出て然なすべしと
And he said, ‘I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said: ‘You will deceive him, and you will prevail. Go forth, and do so.’
23 故に視よヱホバ虚言を言ふ霊を爾の此諸の預言者の口に入たまへり又ヱホバ爾に關て災禍あらんことを言たまへりと
So now, behold: the Lord has given a lying spirit into the mouth of all your prophets who are here. And the Lord has spoken evil against you.”
24 ケナアナの子ゼデキヤ近よりてミカヤの頬を批て言けるはヱホバの霊何途より我を離れゆきて爾に語ふや
Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, drew near and struck Micaiah on the jaw, and he said, “So then, has the Spirit of the Lord left me, and spoken to you?”
25 ミカヤいひけるは爾奧の間に入て身を匿す日に見るにいたらん
And Micaiah said, “You shall see in the day when you will enter into a room within a room, so that you may conceal yourself.”
26 イスラエルの王言けるはミカヤを取て之を邑の宰アモンと王の子ヨアシに曳かへりて言ふべし
And the king of Israel said: “Take Micaiah, and let him dwell with Amon, the ruler of the city, and with Joash, the son of Amalech.
27 王斯言ふ此を牢に置れて苦惱のパンと苦惱の水を以て之を養ひ我が平安に來るを待てと
And tell them: ‘Thus says the king: Put this man in prison, and sustain him with the bread of affliction, and with the water of distress, until I return in peace.’”
28 ミカヤ言けるは爾若眞に平安に歸るならばヱホバ我によりて言たまはざりしならん又曰けるは爾等民よ皆聽べし
And Micaiah said, “If you will have returned in peace, the Lord has not spoken through me.” And he said, “May all the people hear it.”
29 かくてイスラエルの王とユダの王ヨシヤパテ、ギレアデのラモテに上れり
And so, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, ascended to Ramoth Gilead.
30 イスラエルの王ヨシヤパテに言けるは我装を改て戰陣の中に入らん然ど爾は王衣を衣るべしとイスラエルの王装を改て戰陣の中にいりぬ
Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “Take up your armor, and enter the battle. And be clothed in your own garments.” But the king of Israel changed his clothing, and he entered the war.
31 スリアの王其戰車の長三十二人に命じて言けるは爾等小者とも大者とも戰ふなかれ惟イスラエルの王とのみ戰へと
Now the king of Syria had instructed the thirty-two commanders of the chariots, saying, “You shall not fight against anyone, small or great, except against the king of Israel alone.”
32 戰車の長等ヨシヤパテを見て是必ずイスラエルの王ならんと言ひ身をめぐらして之と戰はんとしければヨシヤパテ號呼れり
Therefore, when the commanders of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they suspected that he was the king of Israel. And making a violent assault, they fought against him. And Jehoshaphat cried out.
33 戰車の長彼がイスラエルの王にあらざるを見しかば之を追ふことをやめて返れり
And the commanders of the chariots understood that he was not the king of Israel, and so they turned away from him.
34 茲に一個の人偶然弓を挽てイスラエルの王の胸當と艸摺の間を射たりければ彼其御者に言けるは我傷を受たれば爾の手を旋して我を軍中より出すべしと
But a certain man bent his bow, aiming the arrow without certitude, and by chance he struck the king of Israel, between the lungs and the stomach. Then he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn your hand, and carry me away from the army, for I have been grievously wounded.”
35 是日戰爭嚴くなりぬ王は車の中に扶持られて立ちスリア人に對ひをりしが晩景にいたりて死たり創の血車の中に流る
Then the battle was undertaken throughout that day. And the king of Israel was standing on his chariot opposite the Syrians, and he died in the evening. For the blood was flowing from the wound into the joints of the chariot.
36 日の沒る頃軍中に呼はりて曰ふあり各其邑に各其郷に歸るべしと
And a herald proclaimed throughout the entire army, before the setting of the sun, saying: “Let each one return to his own city, and to his own land.”
37 王死て携へられてサマリアに至りたれば衆人王をサマリアに葬れり
Then the king died, and he was carried into Samaria. And they buried the king in Samaria.
38 又其車をサマリアの池に濯ひけるに犬其血を舐たり又遊女其所に身をあらへりヱホバの言たまへる言の如し
And they washed his chariot in the pool of Samaria. And the dogs licked up his blood. And they washed the reins, in accord with the word of the Lord which he had spoken.
39 アハブの其餘の行爲と凡て其爲たる事と其建たる象牙の家と其建たる諸の邑はイスラエルの王の歴代志の書に記載るにあらずや
But the rest of the words of Ahab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he built, and all the cities that he constructed, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
40 アハブ其父祖と共に寝りて其子アハジア之にかはりて王となれり
And so, Ahab slept with his fathers. And Ahaziah, his son, reigned in his place.
41 アサの子ヨシヤパテ、イスラエルの王アハブの第四年にユダの王となれり
Yet truly, Jehoshaphat, the son of Asa, had begun to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab, the king of Israel.
42 ヨシヤパテ王となりし時三十五歳なりしがエルサレムにおいて二十五年王たりき其母の名はアズバといひてシルヒの女なり
He was thirty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
43 ヨシヤパテ其父アサの諸の道に歩行み轉て之を離れずヱホバの目に適ふ事をなせり但し崇邱は除かざりき民尚崇邱に犠牲を献げ香を焚り
And he walked in the entire way of Asa, his father, and he did not decline from it. And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord. Yet truly, he did not take away the high places. For still the people were sacrificing and burning incense in the high places.
44 ヨシヤパテ、イスラエルの王と和好を結べり
And Jehoshaphat had peace with the king of Israel.
45 ヨシヤパテの其餘の行爲と其なせる功績および如何に戰爭をなせしかはユダの王の歴代志の書に記載るにあらずや
But the rest of the words of Jehoshaphat, and his works that he did, and the battles, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
46 彼其父アサの世に尚ほありし彼の男色を行ふ者の殘餘を國の中より逐はらへり
Then, too, the remnant of the effeminate, who had remained in the days of Asa, his father, he took away from the land.
47 當時エドムには王なくして代官王たりき
At that time, there was no king appointed in Idumea.
48 ヨシヤパテ、タルシシの船を造りて金を取ためにオフルに往しめんとしたりしが其船エジオンゲベルに壞れたれば遂に往に至らざりき
Yet truly, king Jehoshaphat had made a navy on the sea, which would sail to Ophir for gold. But they were unable to go, because the ships were broken down at Eziongeber.
49 是においてアハブの子アハジア、ヨシヤパテに言けるはわが僕をして爾の僕と偕に船にて往しめよと然どヨシヤパテ聽ざりき
Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants on the ships.” But Jehoshaphat was not willing.
50 ヨシヤパテ其父祖とともに寝りて其父ダビデの城邑に其父祖と共に葬らる其子ヨラム之に代て王となれり
And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Jehoram, his son, reigned in his place.
51 アハブの子アハジア、ユダの王ヨシヤパテの第十七年にサマリアにてイスラエルの王となり二年イスラエルを治めたり
Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, began to reign over Israel, in Samaria, in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. And he reigned over Israel for two years.
52 彼はヱホバの目のまへに惡をなし其父の道と其母の道および彼のイスラエルに罪を犯させたるネバテの子ヤラベアムの道に歩行み
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord. And he walked in the way of his father and his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.
53 バアルに事へて之を拝みイスラエルの神ヱホバの怒を激せり其父の凡て行へるがごとし
Also, he served Baal, and he adored him, and he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, in accord with all that his father had done.
