歴代誌Ⅱ 28

1 アハズは二十歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて十六年の間世を治めたりしがその父ダビデと異にしてヱホバの善と觀たまふ所を行はず

Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he did not do that which was right in the eyes of YHWH, like David his father;

2 イスラエルの王等の道にあゆみ亦諸のバアルのために像を鋳造り

but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for the Baals.

3 ベンヒンノムの谷にて香を焚きその子を火に燒きなどしてヱホバがイスラエルの子孫の前より逐はらひたまひし異邦人の行ふところの憎むべき事に傚ひ

Moreover he burnt incense in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, and made his sons pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom YHWH cast out before the children of Israel.

4 また崇邱の上丘の上一切の靑木の下にて犠牲をささげ香を焚り

He sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

5 是故にその神ヱホバかれをスリアの王の手に付したまひてスリア人つひに彼を撃破りその人々を衆く虜囚としてダマスコに曳ゆけり彼はまたイスラエルの王の手にも付されたればイスラエルの王かれを撃て大にその人を殺せり

Therefore YHWH his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Aram; and they struck him, and carried away of his a great multitude of captives, and brought them to Damascus. He was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who struck him with a great slaughter.

6 すなはちレマリヤの子ペカ、ユダにおいて一日の中に十二萬人を殺せり皆勇士なりき是は彼らその先祖の神ヱホバを棄しによるなり

For Pekah the son of Remaliah killed in Judah one hundred twenty thousand in one day, all of them valiant men; because they had forsaken YHWH, the God of their fathers.

7 その時にエフライムの勇士ジクリといふ者王の子マアセヤ宮内卿アズリカムおよび王に亞ぐ人エルカナを殺せり

Zikri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah who was next to the king.

8 イスラエルの子孫つひにその兄弟の中より婦人ならびに男子女子など合せて二十萬人を俘擄にしまた衆多の掠取物を爲しその掠取物をサマリアに携へゆけり

The children of Israel carried away captive of their brothers two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.

9 時に彼處にヱホバの預言者ありその名をオデデといふ彼サマリアに歸れる軍勢の前に進みいでて之に言けるは汝らの先祖の神ヱホバ、ユダを怒りてこれを汝らの手に付したまひしが汝らは天に達するほどの忿怒をもて之を殺せり

But a prophet of YHWH was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria, and said to them, "Look, because YHWH, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah, he has delivered them into your hand, and you have slain them in a rage which has reached up to heaven.

10 然のみならず汝ら今ユダとヱルサレムの子孫を圧つけて己の奴婢となさんと思ふ然ども汝ら自身もまた汝らの神ヱホバに罪を獲たる身にあらずや

Now you purpose to keep under the people of Judah and Jerusalem for bondservants and bondmaids for yourselves. Aren't there even with you trespasses of your own against YHWH your God?

11 然ば今我に聽き汝らがその兄弟の中より擄へ來りし俘擄を放ち歸せヱホバの烈しき怒なんぢらの上に臨まんとすればなりと

Now hear me therefore, and send back the captives, that you have taken captive from your brothers; for the fierce wrath of YHWH is on you."

12 是においてエフライム人の長たる人々すなはちヨハナンの子アザリヤ、メシレモテの子ベレキヤ、シヤルムの子ヒゼキヤ、ハデライの子アマサ等戰爭より歸れる者等の前に立ふさがりて

Then some of the heads of the people of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against those who came from the war,

13 之にいひけるは汝ら俘擄を此に曳いるべからず汝らは我らをしてヱホバに愆を得せしめて更に我らの罪愆を増んとす我らの愆は大にして烈しき怒イスラエルにのぞまんとするなりと

and said to them, "You shall not bring in the captives here: for you purpose that which will bring on us a trespass against YHWH, to add to our sins and to our trespass; for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel."

14 是において兵卒等その俘擄と掠取物を牧伯等と全會衆の前に遺おきければ

So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the leaders and all the assembly.

15 上に名を擧げたる人々たちて俘擄を受取り掠取物の中より衣服を取てその裸なる者に着せ之に靴を穿せ食飮を爲しめ膏油を沃ぎ等しその弱き者をば盡く驢馬に乗せ斯して之を棕櫚の邑ヱリコに導きゆきてその兄弟に詣らしめ而してサマリアに歸れり

The men who have been mentioned by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all who were naked among them, dressed them, gave them sandals, and gave them something to eat and to drink, anointed them, carried all the feeble of them on donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brothers. Then they returned to Samaria.

16 當時アハズ王人をアツスリヤの王等に遣はして援助を乞しむ

At that time king Ahaz sent to the king of Assyria to help him.

17 其はエドム人また來りてユダを攻撃ち民を擄へて去たればなり

For again the Edomites had come and struck Judah, and carried away captives.

18 ベリシテ人もまた平野の邑々およびユダの南の邑々を侵してベテシメシ、アヤロン、ゲデロテおよびシヨコとその郷里テムナとその郷里ギムゾとその郷里を取て其處に住めり

The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland, and of the Negev of Judah, and had taken Beth Shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Soco with its towns, and Timnah with its towns, Gimzo also and its towns: and they lived there.

19 イスラエルの王アハズの故をもてヱホバかくユダを卑くしたまふ其は彼ユダの中に淫逸なる事を行ひかつヱホバにむかひて大に罪を犯したればなり

For YHWH brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he had dealt wantonly in Judah, and trespassed severely against YHWH.

20 アツスリヤの王テグラテピレセルは彼の所に來りしかども彼に力をそへずして反てこれを煩はせり

Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria came to him, and distressed him, but did not strengthen him.

21 アハズ、ヱホバの家と王の家および牧伯等の家の物を取てアツスリヤの王に與へけれどもアハズを援くることをせざりき

For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of YHWH, and out of the house of the king and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria: but it did not help him.

22 このアハズ王はその困難の時に當りてますますヱホバに罪を犯せり

In the time of his distress, he trespassed yet more against YHWH, this same king Ahaz.

23 即ち彼おのれを撃るダマスコの神々に犠牲を献げて言ふスリアの王等の神々はその王等を助くれば我もこれに犠牲を献げん然ば彼ら我を助けんと然れども彼等はかへつてアハズとイスラエル全國を仆す者となれり

For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which struck him; and he said, "Because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, so I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me." But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.

24 アハズ神の室の器皿を取聚めて神の室の器皿を切やぶりヱホバの室の戸を閉ぢヱルサレムの隅々に凡て祭壇を造り

Ahaz gathered together the vessels of God's house, and cut in pieces the vessels of God's house, and shut up the doors of the house of YHWH; and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem.

25 ユダの一切の邑々に崇邱を造りて別神に香を焚き等してその先祖の神ヱホバの忿怒を惹おこせり

In every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked to anger YHWH, the God of his fathers.

26 アハズのその餘の始終の行爲およびその一切の行跡はユダとイスラエルの列王の書に記さる

Now the rest of his acts, and all his ways, first and last, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

27 アハズその先祖等とともに寝りたればエルサレムの邑にこれを葬れり然どイスラエルの王等の墓にはこれを持ゆかざりき其子ヒゼキヤこれに代りて王となる

Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem; for they did not bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
