2 Kings 18
1 Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
イスラエルの王エラの子ホセアの三年にユダの王アハズの子ヒゼキア王となれり
2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.
彼は王となれる時二十五歳にしてエルサレムにて二十九年世ををさめたりその母はザカリヤの女にして名をアビといへり
3 And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that David his father had done.
ヒゼキヤはその父ダビデの凡てなせしごとくヱホバの善と見たまふ事をなし
4 He removed the high places, and broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah, and he broke in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had made. For to those days the sons of Israel burned incense to it, and he called it Nehushtan.
崇邱を除き偶像を毀ちアシラ像を斫たふしモーセの造りし銅の蛇を打碎けりこの時までイスラエルの子孫その蛇にむかひて香を焚たればなり人々これをネホシタン(銅物)と稱なせり
5 He trusted in Jehovah, the God of Israel, so that there was none like him among all the kings of Judah after him, nor among those who were before him.
ヒゼキヤはイスラエルの神ヱホバを賴り是をもて彼の後にも彼の先にもユダの諸の王等の中に彼に如ものなかりき
6 For he clung to Jehovah. He did not depart from following him, but kept his commandments, which Jehovah commanded Moses.
即ち彼は固くヱホバに身をよせてこれに從ふことをやめずヱホバがモーセに命じたまひしその誡命を守れり
7 And Jehovah was with him. Wherever he went forth he prospered. And he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and did not serve him.
ヱホバ彼とともに在したれば彼はその往ところにて凡て利達を得たり彼はアッスリヤの王に叛きてこれに事へざりき
8 He smote the Philistines to Gaza and the borders of it, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
彼ペリシテ人を撃敗りてガザにいたりその境に達し看守臺より城にまで及べり
9 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.
ヒゼキヤ王の四年すなはちイスラエルの王エラの子ホセアの七年にアッスリヤの王シヤルマネセル、サマリヤに攻のぼりてこれを圍みけるが
10 And at the end of three years they took it. Samaria was taken in the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel.
三年の後つひに之を取りサマリヤの取れしはヒゼキヤの六年にしてイスラエルの王ホセアの九年にあたる
11 And the king of Assyria carried Israel away to Assyria, and put them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,
アッスリヤの王イスラエルをアッスリヤに擄へゆきてこれをハラとゴザン河の邊とメデアの邑々におきぬ
12 because they did not obey the voice of Jehovah their God, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded, and would not hear it, nor do it.
是は彼等その神ヱホバの言に遵はずその契約を破りヱホバの僕モーセが凡て命じたる事をやぶりこれを聽ことも行ふこともせざるによりてなり
13 Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
ヒゼキヤ王の十四年にアッスリヤの王セナケリブ攻のぼりてユダの諸の堅き邑を取ければ
14 And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended. Return from me. That which thou put on me I will bear. And the king of Assyria appointed to Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
ユダの王ヒゼキヤ人をラキシにつかはしてアッスリヤの王にいたらしめて言ふ我過てり我を離れて歸りたまへ汝が我に蒙らしむる者は我これを爲べしとアッスリヤの王すなはち銀三百タラント金三十タラントをユダの王ヒゼキヤに課したり
15 And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king's house.
是においてヒゼキヤ、ヱホバの家と王の家の庫とにあるところの銀をことごとく彼に與へたり
16 At that time Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of Jehovah, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
此時ユダの王ヒゼキヤまた己が金を著たりしヱホバの宮の戸および柱を剥てこれをアッスリヤの王に與へたり
17 And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rab-saris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great army to Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they came up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is on the highway of the fuller's field.
アッスリヤの王またタルタン、ラブサリスおよびラブシヤケをしてラキシより大軍をひきゐてエルサレムにむかひてヒゼキヤ王の所にいたらしめたればすなはち上りてエルサレムにきたれり彼等則ち上り來り漂布場の大路に沿るよの池塘の水道の邊にいたりて立り
18 And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.
而して彼等王を呼たればヒルキヤの子なる宮内卿エリアキム書記官セブナおよびアサフの子なる史官ヨア出きたりて彼等に詣りけるに
19 And Rabshakeh said to them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this in which thou trust?
ラブシヤケこれに言けるは汝等ヒゼキヤに言べし大王アッスリヤの王かく言たまふ此汝が賴むところの者は何ぞや
20 Thou say (but they are but vain words), There is counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom do thou trust that thou have rebelled against me?
汝戰爭をなすの謀計と勇力とを言も只これ口の先の言語たるのみ誰を恃みて我に叛くことをせしや
21 Now, behold, thou trust upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man leans it will go into his hand, and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust on him.
視よ汝は折かかれる葦の杖なるエジプトを賴む其は人の其に倚るあればすなはちその手を刺とほすなりエジプトの王パロは凡てこれを賴む者に斯あるなり
22 But if ye say to me, We trust in Jehovah our God, is that not he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?
汝等あるひは我はわれらの神ヱホバを賴むと我に言ん彼はヒゼキヤがその崇邱と祭壇とを除きたる者にあらずやまた彼はユダとエルサレムに告て汝等はエルサレムに於てこの壇の前に祷拝をなすべしと言しにあらずや
23 Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
然ば請ふわが主君アッスリヤの王に約をなせ汝もし人を乗しむることを得ば我馬二千匹を汝にあたへん
24 How then can thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
汝いかにしてか吾主君の諸臣の中の最も微き一將だにも退くることを得ん汝なんぞエジプトを賴みて兵車と騎兵をこれに仰がんとするや
25 Have I now come up without Jehovah against this place to destroy it? Jehovah said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
また我とても今ヱホバの旨によらずして比處を滅しに上れるならんやヱホバ我に此處に攻のぼりてこれを滅せと言たり
26 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language, for we understand it. And do not speak with us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people who are on the wall.
時にヒルキヤの子エリアキムおよびセブナとヨア、ラダシヤケにいひけるは請ふスリアの語をもて僕等に語りたまへ我儕これを識なり石垣の上にをる民の聞るところにてユダヤ語をもて我儕に言談たまふなかれ
27 But Rabshakeh said to them, Has my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? Has he not sent me to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own urine with you?
ラブシヤケかれらに言ふわが君唯我を汝の主と汝とにつかはして此言をのべしめたまふならんや亦石垣の上に坐する人々にも我を遣して彼等をして汝等とともに自己の便溺を食ひ且飮にいたらしめんとしたまふにあらずやと
28 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spoke, saying, Hear ye the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.
而してラブシヤケ起あがりユダヤ語をもて大聲に呼はり言をいだして曰けるは汝等大王アッスリヤの王の言を聽け
29 Thus says the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand.
王かく言たまふ汝等ヒゼキヤに欺かるるなかれ彼は汝等をわが手より救ひいだすことをえざるなり
30 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
ヒゼキヤがヱホバかならず我らを救ひたまはん此邑はアッスリヤの王の手に陷らじと言て汝らにヱホバを賴ましめんとするとも
31 Do not hearken to Hezekiah. For thus says the king of Assyria, Make your peace with me, and come out to me. And eat ye every man of his vine, and every man of his fig tree, and drink ye every man the waters of his own cistern,
汝等ヒゼキヤの言を聽なかれアッスリヤの王かく言たまふ汝等約をなして我に降れ而して各人おのれの葡萄の樹の果を食ひ各人おのれの無花果樹の果をくらひ各人おのれの井水を飮めよ
32 until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and of honey, that ye may live, and not die. And do not hearken to Hezekiah when he persuades you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us.
我來りて汝等を一の國に携ゆかん其は汝儕の國のごとき國穀と酒のある地パンと葡萄園のある地油の出る橄欖と蜜とのある地なり汝等は生ることを得ん死ることあらじヒゼキヤ、ヱホバ我儕を救ひたまはんと言て汝らを勸るともこれを聽なかれ
33 Have any of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
國々の神の中執かその國をアッスリヤの王の手より救ひたりしや
34 Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
ハマテおよびアルパデの神々は何處にあるセパルワイム、ヘナおよびアワの神々は何處にあるやサマリヤをわが手より救ひ出せし神々あるや
35 Who are they among all the gods of the countries that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
國々の神の中にその國をわが手より救ひいだせし者ありしや然ばヱホバいかでかエルサレムをわが手より救ひいだすことを得んと
36 But the people were silent, and did not answer him a word, for the king's commandment was, saying, Do not answer him.
然ども民は默して一言もこれに應へざりき其は王命じてこれに應ふるなかれと言おきたればなり
37 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
かくてヒルキヤの子なる宮内卿エリアキム書記官セブナおよびアサの子なる史官ヨアその衣をさきてヒゼキヤの許にいたりラブシヤケの言をこれに告たり
