1 Kings 21
1 Some time later, Naboth the Jezreelite happened to own a vineyard in Jezreel next to 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 So Ahab said to Naboth, “Give me your vineyard to use as a vegetable garden, since it is next to my palace. I will give you a better vineyard in its place—or if you prefer, I will give you its value in silver.”
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 But Naboth replied, “The LORD forbid that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers.”
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 So Ahab went to his palace, sullen and angry because Naboth the Jezreelite had told him, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He lay down on his bed, turned his face away, and refused to eat.
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 Soon his wife Jezebel came in and asked, “Why are you so sullen that you refuse to eat?”
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 Ahab answered, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and told him, ‘Give me your vineyard for silver, or if you wish, I will give you another vineyard in its place.’ And he replied, ‘I will not give you 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 But his wife Jezebel said to him, “Do you not reign over Israel? Get up, eat some food, and be cheerful, for I will get you 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 Then Jezebel wrote letters in Ahab’s name, sealed them with his seal, and sent them to the elders and nobles who lived with Naboth in his city.
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 In the letters she wrote: “Proclaim a fast and give Naboth a seat of honor 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 But seat two scoundrels opposite him and have them testify, ‘You have cursed both God and the king!’ Then take 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 So the elders and nobles who lived in Naboth’s city did as Jezebel had instructed in the letters she had written 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 gave Naboth a seat of honor 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 scoundrels came in and sat opposite Naboth, and these men testified against him before the people, saying, “Naboth has cursed both God and the king!” So they took him outside the city and stoned him to death.
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 word to Jezebel: “Naboth has been stoned to death.”
斯てイゼベルにナボテ撃れて死たりと言遣れり
15 When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned to death, she said to Ahab, “Get up and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, who refused to give it to you for silver. For Naboth is no longer 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 when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he got up and went down to take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
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 Then the word of the LORD 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 “Get up and go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who is in Samaria. See, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, of which he has gone to take possession.
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 Tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Have you not murdered a man and seized his land?’ Then tell him that this is also what the LORD says: ‘In the place where the dogs licked up the blood of Naboth, there also the dogs will lick up your blood—yes, yours!’”
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 When Elijah arrived, Ahab said to him, “So you have found me out, my enemy.” He replied, “I have found you out because you have sold yourself to do evil in the sight of the LORD.
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 This is what the LORD says: ‘I will bring calamity on you and consume your descendants; I will cut off from Ahab every male in Israel, both slave and free.
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 I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat and like that of Baasha son of Ahijah, because you have provoked My anger and caused 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 the LORD also speaks concerning Jezebel: ‘The dogs will devour Jezebel by the wall 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 Anyone belonging to Ahab who dies in the city will be eaten by dogs, and anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the air.”
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 (Surely there was never one like Ahab, who sold himself to do evil in the sight of the LORD, incited by his wife Jezebel.
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 He committed the most detestable acts by going after idols, just like the Amorites whom the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.)
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 When Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and fasted. He lay down in sackcloth and walked around meekly.
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 Then the word of the LORD 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 “Have you seen how Ahab has humbled himself before Me? Because he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the calamity during his days, but I will bring it upon his house in the days of his son.”
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
