列王記Ⅰ 15
1 ネバテの子ヤラベアム王の第十八年にアビヤムがユダの王となり、
Now in the eighteenth year of king Jerobo'am the son of Nebat became Abiyam king over Judah.
2 エルサレムで三年世を治めた。その母の名はマアカといって、アブサロムの娘であった。
Three years he reigned in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Ma'achah, the daughter of Abishalom.
3 彼はその父が先に行ったもろもろの罪をおこない、その心は父ダビデの心のようにその神、主に対して全く真実ではなかった。
And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not entire with the Lord his God, like the heart of David his father.
4 それにもかかわらず、その神、主はダビデのために、エルサレムにおいて彼に一つのともしびを与え、その子を彼のあとに立てて、エルサレムを固められた。
Nevertheless for the sake of David did the Lord his God give him a rule in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to allow Jerusalem to exist.
5 それはダビデがヘテびとウリヤの事のほか、一生の間、主の目にかなう事を行い、主が命じられたすべての事に、そむかなかったからである。
Because David did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, and turned not aside from all that he had commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriyah the Hittite.
6 レハベアムとヤラベアムの間には一生の間、戦争があった。
And there had been war between Rehobo'am and Jerobo'am all the days of his life.
7 アビヤムのその他の行為と、彼がしたすべての事は、ユダの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。アビヤムとヤラベアムの間にも戦争があった。
And the rest of the acts of Abiyam, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah. And there was [also] war between Abiyam and Jerobo'am.
8 アビヤムはその先祖と共に眠って、ダビデの町に葬られ、その子アサが代って王となった。
And Abiyam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Assa his son became king in his stead.
9 イスラエルの王ヤラベアムの第二十年にアサはユダの王となり、
And in the twentieth year of Jerobo'am the king of Israel became Assa king over Judah.
10 エルサレムで四十一年世を治めた。その母の名はマアカといってアブサロムの娘であった。
And forty and one years did he reign in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Ma'achah, the daughter of Abishalom.
11 アサはその父ダビデがしたように主の目にかなう事をし、
And Assa did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, like David his father.
12 神殿男娼を国から追い出し、先祖たちの造ったもろもろの偶像を除いた。
And he put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols which his fathers had made.
13 彼はまたその母マアカが、アシラのために憎むべき像を造らせたので、彼女を太后の位から退けた。そしてアサはその憎むべき像を切り倒してキデロンの谷で焼き捨てた。
And also Ma'achah his mother, even her he removed from being queen; because she had made a scandalous image for the grove; and Assa cut down her scandalous image, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.
14 ただし高き所は除かなかった。けれどもアサの心は一生の間、主に対して全く真実であった。
But the high-places were not removed; nevertheless Assa's heart was entire with the Lord all his days.
15 彼は父の献納した物と自分の献納した物、金銀および器物を主の宮に携え入れた。
And he brought the things which his father had sanctified, and his own sanctified things, into the house of the Lord, silver, and gold, and vessels.
16 アサとイスラエルの王バアシャの間には一生の間、戦争があった。
And there was war between Assa and Ba'sha the king of Israel all their days.
17 イスラエルの王バアシャはユダに攻め上り、ユダの王アサの所に、だれをも出入りさせないためにラマを築いた。
And Ba'sha the king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, in order not to suffer any one to go out or come in to Assa the king of Judah.
18 そこでアサは主の宮の宝蔵と、王の宮殿の宝蔵に残っている金銀をことごとく取って、これを家来たちの手にわたし、そしてアサ王は彼らをダマスコに住んでいるスリヤの王、ヘジョンの子タブリモンの子であるベネハダデにつかわして言わせた、
Then did Assa take all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house, and gave them into the hand of his servants; and king Assa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Chesyon, the king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying,
19 「わたしの父とあなたの父との間に結ばれていたように、わたしとあなたの間に同盟を結びましょう。わたしはあなたに金銀の贈り物をさしあげます。行って、あなたとイスラエルの王バアシャとの同盟を破棄し、彼をわたしの所から撤退させてください」。
A covenant is between me and thee, [as] between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; go and do break thy covenant with Ba'sha the king of Israel, that he may withdraw from me.
20 ベネハダデはアサ王の言うことを聞き、自分の軍勢の長たちをつかわしてイスラエルの町々を攻め、イヨンとダンとアベル・ベテ・マアカおよびキンネレテの全地と、ナフタリの全地を撃った。
And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Assa, and sent the captains of the armies which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote 'Iyon, and Dan, and Abel-beth-ma'achah, and the whole of Kinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
21 バアシャはこれを聞き、ラマを築くことをやめて、テルザにとどまった。
And it came to pass, when Ba'sha heard this, that he left off the building of Ramah, and remained in Tirzah.
22 そこでアサ王はユダ全国に布告を発した。ひとりも免れる者はなかった。すなわちバアシャがラマを築くために用いた石と材木を運びこさせ、アサ王はそれを用いて、ベニヤミンのゲバとミヅパを築いた。
Then king Assa called together by proclamation all Judah, none being exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, wherewith Ba'sha had built; and king Assa built with them Geba' of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
23 アサのその他の事績とそのすべての勲功と、彼がしたすべての事および彼が建てた町々は、ユダの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。彼は老年になって足を病んだ。
And the rest of all the acts of Assa, and all his mighty deeds, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah. Nevertheless in the time of his old age he became diseased in his feet.
24 アサはその先祖と共に眠って、父ダビデの町に先祖と共に葬られ、その子ヨシャパテが代って王となった。
And Assa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son became king in his stead.
25 ユダの王アサの第二年にヤラベアムの子ナダブがイスラエルの王となって、二年イスラエルを治めた。
And Nadab the son of Jerobo'am became king over Israel in the second year of Assa the king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years.
26 彼は主の目の前に悪を行い、その父の道に歩み、父がイスラエルに犯させた罪をおこなった。
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, and he walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he had induced Israel to sin.
27 イッサカルの家のアヒヤの子バアシャは彼に対してむほんを企て、ペリシテびとに属するギベトンで彼を撃った。これはナダブとイスラエルが皆ギベトンを囲んでいたからである。
And Ba'sha the son of Achiyah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Ba'sha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines: while Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon.
28 こうしてユダの王アサの第三年にバアシャは彼を殺し、彼に代って王となった。
And Ba'sha slew him in the third year of Assa the king of Judah, and became king in his stead.
29 彼は王となるとすぐヤラベアムの全家を撃ち、息のある者をひとりもヤラベアムの家に残さず、ことごとく滅ぼした。主がそのしもべシロびとアヒヤによって言われた言葉のとおりであって、
And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the house of Jerobo'am; he left not any that breathed unto Jerobo'am, until he had destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by his servant Achiyah the Shilonite;
30 これはヤラベアムがみずから犯し、またイスラエルに犯させた罪のため、また彼がイスラエルの神、主を怒らせたその怒りによるのであった。
Because of the sins of Jerobo'am which he had sinned, and through which he had induced Israel to sin, by his provoking wherewith he provoked the Lord the God of Israel to anger.
31 ナダブのその他の事績と、彼がしたすべての事は、イスラエルの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。
And the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
32 アサとイスラエルの王バアシャの間には一生の間戦争があった。
And there was war between Assa and Ba'sha the king of Israel all their days.
33 ユダの王アサの第三年にアヒヤの子バアシャはテルザでイスラエルの全地の王となって、二十四年世を治めた。
In the third year of Assa the king of Judah became Ba'sha the son of Achiyah king over all Israel, in Thirzah, [for] twenty and four years.
34 彼は主の目の前に悪を行い、ヤラベアムの道に歩み、ヤラベアムがイスラエルに犯させた罪をおこなった。
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, and walked in the way of Jerobo'am, and in his sin wherewith he had induced Israel to sin.
