列王記Ⅱ 8

1 エリシヤ甞てその子を甦へらせて與へし婦に言しことあり曰く汝起て汝の家族とともに往き汝の寄寓んとおもふ處に寄寓れ其はヱホバ饑饉を呼くだしたまひたれば七年の間この地に臨むべければなりと

Now Elisha spoke to the woman, whose son he had caused to live, saying: “Rise up. Go, you and your household, and sojourn in whatever place you can find. For the Lord has called forth a famine, and it shall overwhelm the land for seven years.”

2 是をもて婦起て神の人の言のごとくに爲しその家族とともに往てペリシテ人の地に七年寄寓ぬ

And she rose up, and she acted in accord with the word of the man of God. And going with her household, she sojourned in the land of the Philistines for many days.

3 かくて七年を經て後婦人ペリシテ人の地より歸りしが自己の家と田畝のために王に呼もとめんとて往り

And when the seven years had ended, the woman returned from the land of the Philistines. And she departed, so that she might petition the king on behalf of her house and on behalf of her fields.

4 時に王は神の人の僕ゲハジにむかひ請ふエリシヤが爲し諸の大なる事等を我に告よと言てこれと談話をる

Now the king was speaking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, “Describe for me all the great deeds that Elisha has done.”

5 即ち彼エリシヤが死人を甦らせしことを王にものがたりをる時にその子を彼が甦らせし婦自己の家と田畝のために王に呼もとめければゲハジ言ふわが主王よ是すなはちその婦人なり是すなはちエリシヤが甦らせしその子なり

And as he was describing for the king the manner in which he had raised the dead, the woman appeared, whose son he had restored to life, crying out to the king on behalf of her house and on behalf of her fields. And Gehazi said, “My lord the king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha raised up.”

6 王すなはちその婦に尋ねけるにこれを陳たれば王彼のために一人の官吏を派出して言ふ凡て彼に屬する物並に彼がこの地を去し日より今にいたるまでの其田畝の產出物を悉く彼に還せよと

And the king questioned the woman. And she explained it to him. And the king appointed a eunuch to her, saying, “Restore to her all that is hers, with all the proceeds of the fields, from the day that she left the land until the present.”

7 エリシヤ、ダマスコに至れる事あり時にスリアの王ベネハダデ病にかかりをりしがこれにつげて神の人此にきたると言ふ者ありければ

Also, Elisha arrived in Damascus, and Benhadad, the king of Syria, was ill. And they reported to him, saying, “The man of God has arrived here.”

8 王ハザエルに言ふ汝手に禮物をとり往て神の人を迎へ彼によりてヱホバに吾この病は愈るやと言て問へ

And the king said to Hazael: “Take with you gifts. And go to meet the man of God. And consult the Lord through him, saying: ‘Will I be able to escape from this, my infirmity?’”

9 是においてハザエルかれを迎へんとて出往きダマスコのもろもろの佳物駱駝に四十駄を禮物に携へて到りて彼の前に立ち曰けるは汝の子スリアの王ベネハダデ我を汝につかはして吾この病は愈るやと言しむ

And so, Hazael went to meet him, having with him gifts, and all the goods of Damascus, the burdens of forty camels. And when he had stood before him, he said: “Your son, Benhadad, the king of Syria, sent me to you, saying: ‘Will I be able to be healed from this, my infirmity?’”

10 エリシヤかれに言けるは往てかれに汝はかならず愈べしと告よ但しヱホバかれはかならず死んと我にしめしたまふなり

And Elisha said to him: “Go, tell him: ‘You will be healed.’ But the Lord has revealed to me that, dying he shall die.”

11 而して神の人瞳子をさだめて彼の羞るまでに見つめ乃て哭いでたれば

And he stood beside him, and he was so troubled that his face became flushed. And the man of God wept.

12 ハザエルわが主よ何て哭たまふやと言ふにエリシヤ答へけるは我汝がイスラエルの子孫になさんところの害惡を知ばなり即ち汝は彼等の城に火をかけ壯年の人を劍にころし子等を挫ぎ孕女を刳ん

And Hazael said to him, “Why is my lord weeping?” And he said: “Because I know the evil that you will do to the sons of Israel. Their fortified cities you will burn with fire. And their young men you will kill with the sword. And you will destroy their little ones, and tear open the pregnant women.”

13 ハザエル言けるは汝の僕は犬なるか何ぞ斯る大なる事をなさんエリシヤ答へけるはヱホバ我にしめしたまふ汝はスリアの王となるにいたらん

And Hazael said, “But what am I, your servant, a dog, that I would do this great thing?” And Elisha said, “The Lord has revealed to me that you will be the king of Syria.”

14 斯て彼エリシヤを離れて去てその主君にいたるにエリシヤは汝に何と言しやと尋ければ答へて彼汝はかならず愈るあらんと我に告たりと言ふ

And when he had departed from Elisha, he went to his lord, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” And he responded: “He said to me, ‘You shall receive health.’”

15 翌日にいたりてハザエル粗き布をとりて水に浸しこれをもて王の面を覆ひたれば死りハザエルすなはち之にかはりて王となる

And when the next day had arrived, he took a small covering, and poured water on it, and he spread it over his face. And when he died, Hazael reigned in his place.

16 イスラエルの王アハブの子ヨラムの五年にはヨシヤパテ尚ユダの王たりき此年にユダの王ヨシヤバテの子ヨラム位に即り

In the fifth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel, and of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah: Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, reigned as the king of Judah.

17 彼は位に即し時三十二歳にして八年の間エルサレムにて世を治めたり

He was thirty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for eight years in Jerusalem.

18 彼はアハブの家のなせるがごとくにイスラエルの王等の道を行へりアハブの女かれの妻なりければなり斯彼はヱホバの目の前に惡をなせしかども

And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had walked. For the daughter of Ahab was his wife. And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord.

19 ヱホバその僕ダビデのためにユダを滅すことを好みたまはざりき即ち彼にその子孫によりて恒に光明を與んと言たまひしがごとし

But the Lord was not willing to destroy Judah, because of David, his servant, just as he had promised him, so that he might grant a light to him and to his sons, for all days.

20 ヨラムの代にエドム叛きてユダの手に服せず自ら王を立たれば

In his days, Idumea drew apart, so as not to be under Judah, and they appointed a king for themselves.

21 ヨラムその一切の戰車をしたがへてザイルに渉りしが遂に夜の中に起あがりて自己を圍めるエドム人を撃ちその戰車の長等を撃り斯して民はその天幕に逃ゆきぬ

And so, Jehoram went to Zair, and all the chariots with him. And he rose up in the night, and he struck down the Idumeans who had surrounded him, and the leaders of the chariots. But the people fled to their tents.

22 エドムは斯叛きてユダの手に服せずなりしが今日まで然り此時にあたりてリブナもまた叛けり

And Idumea drew apart, so as not to be under Judah, even to this day. Then Libnah also drew apart, at the same time.

23 ヨラムのその餘の行爲およびその凡て爲たる事等はユダの王の歴代志の書に記さるるにあらずや

Now the rest of the words of Jehoram, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?

24 ヨラムその先祖等とともに寝りてダビデの邑にその先祖たちと同じく葬られその子アハジアこれに代りて王となれり

And Jehoram slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David. And Ahaziah, his son, reigned in his place.

25 イスラエルの王アハブの子ヨラムの十二年にユダの王ヨラムの子アハジア位に即り

In the twelfth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, the king of Israel: Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, reigned.

26 アハジアは位に即し時二十二歳にしてエルサレムにて一年世を治めたりその母はイスラエルの王オムリの孫女にして名をアタリヤといふ

Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri, the king of Israel.

27 アハジアはアハブの家の道にあゆみアハブの家のごとくにヱホバの目の前に惡をなせり是かれはアハブの家の婿なりければなり

And he walked in the ways of the house of Ahab. And he did what is evil before the Lord, just as the house of Ahab did. For he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.

28 茲にアハブの子ヨラム自身ゆきてスリアの王ハザエルとギレアデのラモテに戰ひけるがスリア人等ヨラムに傷を負せたり

Also, he went with Joram, the son of Ahab, in order to fight against Hazael, the king of Syria, at Ramoth Gilead. And the Syrians had wounded Joram.

29 是に於てヨラム王はそのスリアの王ハザエルと戰ふにあたりてラマに於てスリア人に負せられたるところの傷を療さんとてヱズレルに歸れりユダの王ヨラムの子アハジアはアハブの子ヨラムが病をるをもてヱズレルに下りて之を訪ふ

And he turned back, so that he might be cured at Jezreel. For the Syrians had wounded him at Ramoth, fighting against Hazael, the king of Syria. Then Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, the king of Judah, descended to visit Joram, the son of Ahab, at Jezreel, because he was sick there.
