< 1 Kings 21 >
1 And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, near by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
是等の事の後ヱズレル人ナボテ、ヱズレルに葡萄園を有ちゐたりしがサマリアの王アハブの殿の側に在りければ
2 And Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard that I may have it for a garden of herbs because it is near to my house. And I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it, or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
アハブ、ナボテに語て言けるは爾の葡萄園は近くわが家の側にあれば我に與へて蔬采の圃となさしめよ我之がために其よりも美き葡萄園を爾に與へん若し爾の心にかなはば其價を銀にて爾に予へんと
3 And Naboth said to Ahab, Jehovah forbid it of me that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to thee.
ナボテ、アハブに言けるはわが父祖の產業を爾に與ふる事は決て爲べからずヱホバ禁じたまふと
4 And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him, for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid himself down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
アハブはヱズレル人ナボテの己に言し言のために憂ひ且怒りて其家に入ぬ其は彼わが父祖の產業を爾に與へじと言たればなりアハブ床に臥し其面を轉けて食をなさざりき
5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, Why is thy spirit so sad that thou eat no bread?
其妻イゼベル彼の處にいりて彼に言けるは爾の心何を憂へて爾食を爲ざるや
6 And he said to her, Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, Give me thy vineyard for money, or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it. And he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
彼之に言けるは我ヱズレル人ナボテに語りて爾の葡萄園を銀に易て我に與へよ若また爾好ば我其に易て葡萄園を爾に與へんと彼に言たるに彼答へて我が葡萄園を爾に與へじと言たればなりと
7 And Jezebel his wife said to him, Do thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let thy heart be merry. I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
其妻イゼベル彼に言けるは爾今イステエルの國を治むることを爲すや興て食を爲し爾の心を樂ましめよ我ヱズレル人ナボテの葡萄園を爾に與へんと
8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, and who dwelt with Naboth.
彼アハブの名をもて書を書き彼の印を捺し其邑にナボテとともに住る長老と貴き人に其書をおくれり
9 And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
彼其書にしるして曰ふ斷食を宣傳てナボテを民の中に高く坐せしめよ
10 And set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, Thou cursed God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him to death.
又邪なる人二人を彼のまへに坐せしめ彼に對ひて證を爲して爾神と王を詛ひたりと言しめよ斯して彼を曳出し石にて撃て死しめよと
11 And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.
其邑の人即ち其邑に住る長老および貴き人等イゼベルが己に言つかはしたる如く即ち彼が己に遣りたる書に書したる如く爲り
12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
彼等斷食を宣達てナボテを民の中に高く坐せしめたり
13 And the two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him. And the base fellows bore witness against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth cursed God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones.
時に二人の邪なる人入來りて其前に坐し其邪なる人民のまへにてナボテに對て證をなして言ふナボテ神と王を詛ひたりと人衆彼を邑の外に曳出し石にて之を撃て死しめたり
14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
斯てイゼベルにナボテ撃れて死たりと言遣れり
15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money, for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
イゼベル、ナボタの撃れて死たるを聞しかばイゼベル、アハブに言けるは起て彼ヱズレル人ナボテが銀に易て爾に與ることを拒みし葡萄園を取べし其はナボテは生をらず死たればなりと
16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite to take possession of it.
アハブ、ナボテの死たるを聞しかばアハブ起ちヱズレル人ナボテの葡萄園を取んとて之に下れり
17 And the word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
時にヱホバの言テシベ人エリヤに臨みて曰ふ
18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth where he has gone down to take possession of it.
起て下りサマリアにあるイスラエルの王アハブに會ふべし彼はナボテの葡萄園を取んとて彼處に下りをるなり
19 And thou shall speak to him, saying, Thus says Jehovah, Have thou killed and also taken possession? And thou shall speak to him, saying, Thus says Jehovah, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
爾彼に告て言べしヱホバ斯言ふ爾は殺し亦取たるやと又爾彼に告て言ふべしヱホバ斯言ふ犬ナボテの血を銛し處にて犬爾の身の血を銛べしと
20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Have thou found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found thee because thou have sold thyself to do that which is evil in the sight of Jehovah.
アハブ、エリヤに言けるは我敵よ爾我に遇や彼言ふ我遇ふ爾ヱホバの目の前に惡を爲す事に身を委しに縁り
21 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will utterly sweep thee away and will cut off from Ahab every man-child, and he who is shut up and he who is left at large in Israel.
我災害を爾に降し爾の後裔を除きアハブに屬する男はイスラエルにありて繋がれたる者も繋がれざる者も悉く絶ん
22 And I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation with which thou have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.
又爾の家をネバテの子ヤラベアムの家の如くなしアヒヤの子バアシヤの家のごとくなすべし是は爾我の怒を惹起しイスラエルをして罪を犯させたるに因てなり
23 And Jehovah spoke also of Jezebel, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.
イゼベルに關てヱホバ亦語て言給ふ犬ヱズレルの濠にてイゼベルを食はん
24 He who dies of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat, and he who dies in the field shall the birds of the heavens eat.
アハブに屬する者の邑に死るをば犬之を食ひ野に死るをば天空の鳥之を食はんと
25 (But there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
誠にアハブの如くヱホバの目の前に惡をなす事に身をゆだねし者はあらざりき其妻イゼベル之を慫憊たるなり
26 And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did whom Jehovah cast out before the sons of Israel.)
彼はヱホバがイスラエルの子孫のまへより逐退けたまひしアモリ人の凡てなせし如く偶像に從ひて甚だ惡むべき事を爲り
27 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
アハブ此等の言を聞ける時其衣を裂き粗麻布を體にまとひ食を斷ち粗麻布に臥し遅々に歩行り
28 And the word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
茲にヱホバの言テシベ人エリヤに臨みて言ふ
29 See thou how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days, but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.
爾アハブの我前に卑下るを見るや彼わがまへに卑下るに縁て我災害を彼の世に降さずして其子の世に災害を彼の家に降すべし
