列王記Ⅱ 14

1 イスラエルの王ヨアハズの子ヨアシの二年にユダの王ヨアシの子アマジヤ王となれり

In the second year of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the king of Israel: Amaziah, the son of Jehoash, reigned as king of Judah.

2 彼は王となれる時二十五歳にして二十九年の間エルサレムにて世を治めたりその母はエルサレムの者にして名をヱホアダンと云り

He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jehoaddin from Jerusalem.

3 アマジヤはヱホバの善と見たまふ事をなしたりしがその先祖ダビデのごとくはあらざりき彼は萬の事において其父ヨアシがなせしごとくに事をなせり

And he did what is right before the Lord, yet truly, not like David, his father. He acted in accord with all the things that his father Jehoash did,

4 惟崇邱はのぞかずしてあり民はなほその崇邱において犠牲をささげ香を焚り

except for this alone: he did not take away the high places. For still the people were immolating, and burning incense, in the high places.

5 彼は國のその手に堅くたつにおよびてその父王を弑せし臣僕等を殺したりしが

And when he had obtained the kingdom, he struck down those of his servants who had killed his father, the king.

6 その弑殺人の子女等は殺さざりき是はモーセの律法の書に記されたる所にしたがへるなり即ちヱホバ命じて言たまはく子女の故によりて父を殺すべからず父の故によりて子女を殺すべからず人はみなその身の罪によりて死べき者なりと

But the sons of those who had been killed he did not put to death, in accord with what was written in the book of the law of Moses, just as the Lord instructed, saying: “The fathers shall not die for the sons, and the sons shall not die for the fathers. Instead, each one shall die for his own sin.”

7 アマジヤまた鹽谷においてエドミ人一萬を殺せり亦セラを攻とりてその名をヨクテルとなづけしが今日まで然り

He struck down ten thousand men of Idumea, in the Valley of the Salt Pits. And he captured ‘the Rock’ in battle, and he called its name ‘Subdued by God,’ even to the present day.

8 かくてアマジヤ使者をヱヒウの子ヨアハズの子なるイスラエルの王ヨアシにおくりて來れ我儕たがひに面をあはせんと言しめければ

Then Amaziah sent messengers to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, the king of Israel, saying: “Come, and let us see one another.”

9 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棘かつてレバノンの香柏に汝の女子をわが子の妻にあたへよと言おくりたることありしにレバノンの野獣とほりてその荊棘を踏たふせり

And Joash, the king of Israel, sent a reply to Amaziah, the king of Judah, saying: “A thistle of Lebanon sent to a cedar, which is in Lebanon, saying: ‘Give your daughter as wife to my son.’ And the beasts of the forest, which are in Lebanon, passed by and trampled the thistle.

10 汝は大にエドムに勝たれば心に誇るその榮譽にやすんじて家に居れなんぞ禍を惹おこして自己もユダもともに亡んとするやと

You have struck and prevailed over Idumea. And your heart has lifted you up. Be content with your own glory, and be seated in your own house. Why would you provoke evil, so that you would fall, and Judah with you?”

11 然るにアマジヤ聽ことをせざりしかばイスラエルの王ヨアシのぼり來れり是において彼とユダの王アマジヤはユダのベテシメシにてたがひに面をあはせたりしが

But Amaziah was not quieted. And so Joash, the king of Israel, went up. And he and Amaziah, the king of Judah, saw one another at Beth-shemesh, a town in Judah.

12 ユダ、イスラエルに敗られて各人その天幕に逃かへりぬ

And Judah was struck down before Israel, and they fled, each to their own tents.

13 是においてイスラエルの王ヨアシはアジアの子ヨアシの子なるユダの王アマジヤをベテシメシに擒へ而してエルサレムにいたりてエルサレムの石垣をエフライムの門より隅の門まで凡そ四百キユビトを毀ち

And truly, Joash, the king of Israel, captured Amaziah, the king of Judah, the son of Jehoash, the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh. And he brought him to Jerusalem. And he breached the wall of Jerusalem, from the gate of Ephraim as far as the gate of the Corner, four hundred cubits.

14 またヱホバの家と王の家の庫とにあるところの金銀および諸の器をとりかつ人質をとりてサマリヤにかへれり

And he took away all the gold and silver, and all the vessels, which were found in the house of the Lord and in the treasuries of the king, and he returned to Samaria with hostages.

15 ヨアシがなしたるその餘の行爲とその能およびそのイスラエルの王アマジヤと戰ひし事はイスラエルの王の歴代志の書にしるさるるにあらずや

But the rest of the words of Joash, which he accomplished, and his strength, with which he fought against Amaziah, the king of Judah, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

16 ヨアシその先祖等とともに寝りてイスラエルの王等とともにサマリヤに葬られその子ヤラベアムこれに代りて王となれり

And Joash slept with his fathers, and he was buried in Samaria, with the kings of Israel. And Jeroboam, his son, reigned in his place.

17 ヨアシの子なるユダの王アマジヤはヨアハズの子なるイスラエルの王ヨアシの死てより後なほ十五年生存へたり

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

18 アマジヤのその餘の行爲はユダの王の歴代志の書にしるさるるにあらずや

And the rest of the words of Amaziah, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?

19 茲にエルサレムにおいて黨をむす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彼處に殺さしめたり

And they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. And he fled to Lachish. And they sent after him, to Lachish, and they killed him there.

20 人衆かれを馬に負せてもちきたりエルサレムにおいてこれをその先祖等とともにダビデの邑に葬りぬ

And they carried him away on horses. And he was buried in Jerusalem with his fathers, in the city of David.

21 ユダの民みなアザリヤをとりて王となしてその父アマジヤに代しめたり時に年十六なりき

Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, at sixteen years from birth, and they appointed him as king in place of his father, Amaziah.

22 彼エラテの邑を建てこれを再びユダに歸せしめたり是はかの王がその先祖等とともに寝りし後なりき

He built up Elath, and he restored it to Judah, after which the king slept with his fathers.

23 ユダの王ヨアシの子アマジヤの十五年にイスラエルの王ヨアシの子ヤラベアム、サマリヤにおいて王となり四十一年位にありき

In the fifteenth year of Amaziah, the son of Jehoash, the king of Judah: Jeroboam, the son of Joash, the king of Israel, reigned, in Samaria, for forty-one years.

24 彼はヱホバの目の前に惡をなし夫のイスラエルに罪を犯さしめたるネバテの子ヤラベアムの罪に離れざりき

And he did what is evil before the Lord. He did not withdraw from all the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.

25 彼ハマテの入處よりアラバの海までイスラエルの邊境を恢復せりイスラエルの神ヱホバがガテヘペルのアミツタイの子なるその僕預言者ヨナによりて言たまひし言のごとし

He restored the borders of Israel, from the entrance of Hamath as far as the Sea of the Wilderness, in accord with the word of the Lord, the God of Israel, which he spoke through his servant, the prophet Jonah, the son of Amittai, who was from Gath, which is in Hepher.

26 ヱホバ、イスラエルの艱難を見たまふに其は甚だ苦かり即ち繋れたる者もあらず繋れざる者もあらず又イスラエルを助る者もあらず

For the Lord saw the exceedingly bitter affliction of Israel, and that they were being consumed, even to those who were enclosed in prison, and even to the least ones, and that there was no one who would help Israel.

27 ヱホバは我イスラエルの名を天下に塗抹んとすと言たまひしこと無し反てヨアシの子ヤラベアムの手をもてこれを拯ひたまへり

But the Lord did not say that he would wipe away the name of Israel from under heaven. So instead, he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam, the son of Joash.

28 ヤラベアムのその餘の行爲とその凡てなしたる事およびその戰爭をなせし能その昔にユダに屬し居たることありしダマスコとハマテを再びイスラエルに歸せしめたる事はイスラエルの王の歴代志の書に記さるるにあらずや

But the rest of the words of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his strength, with which he went to battle, and the manner in which he restored Damascus and Hamath to Judah, in Israel, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?

29 ヤラベアムその先祖たるイスラエルの王等とともに寝りその子ザカリヤこれに代りて王となれり

And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, the kings of Israel. And Zechariah, his son, reigned in his place.
