2 Chronicles 13
1 In the eighteenth year of Jeroboam’s reign, Abijah became king of Judah,
ヤラベアム王の十八年にアビヤ、ユダの王となり
2 and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Micaiah daughter of Uriel; she was from Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
ヱルサレムにて三年の間世を治めたり其母はギベアのウリエルの女にして名をミカヤといふ茲にアビヤとヤラベアムの間に戰爭あり
3 Abijah went into battle with an army of 400,000 chosen men, while Jeroboam drew up in formation against him with 800,000 chosen and mighty men of valor.
アビヤは四十萬の軍勢をもて戰闘に備ふ是みな倔強の猛き武夫なり又ヤラベアムは倔強の人八十萬をもて之にむかひて戰爭の行伍を立つ是また大勇士なり
4 Then Abijah stood on Mount Zemaraim in the hill country of Ephraim and said, “Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel!
時にアビヤ、エフライムの山地なるゼマライム山の上に立て言けるはヤラベアムおよびイスラエルの人々皆聽よ
5 Do you not know that the LORD, the God of Israel, has given the kingship of Israel to David and his descendants forever by a covenant of salt?
汝ら知ずやイスラエルの神ヱホバ鹽の契約をもてイスラエルの國を永くダビデとその子孫に賜へり
6 Yet Jeroboam son of Nebat, a servant of Solomon son of David, rose up and rebelled against his master.
然るにダビデの子ソロモンの臣たるネバテの子ヤラベアム興りてその主君に叛き
7 Then worthless and wicked men gathered around him to resist Rehoboam son of Solomon when he was young, inexperienced, and unable to resist them.
邪曲なる放蕩者これに集り附き自ら強くしてソロモンの子レハベアムに敵せしがレハベアムは少くまた心弱くして之に當る力なかりき
8 And now you think you can resist the kingdom of the LORD, which is in the hands of David’s descendants. You are indeed a vast army, and you have with you the golden calves that Jeroboam made for you as gods.
今またなんぢらはダビデの子孫の手にあるヱホバの國に敵對せんとす汝らは大軍なり又ヤラベアムが作りて汝らの神と爲たる金の犢なんぢらと偕にあり
9 But did you not drive out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites? And did you not make priests for yourselves as do the peoples of other lands? Now whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams can become a priest of things that are not gods.
汝らはアロンの子孫たるヱホバの祭司とレビ人とを逐放ち國々の民の爲がごとくに祭司を立るにあらずや即ち誰にもあれ少き牡牛一匹牡羊七匹を携へきたりて手に充す者は皆かの神ならぬ者の祭司となることを得るなり
10 But as for us, the LORD is our God. We have not forsaken Him; the priests who minister to the LORD are sons of Aaron, and the Levites attend to their duties.
然ど我儕に於てはヱホバ我儕の神にましまして我儕は之を棄ずまたヱホバに事ふる祭司はアロンの子孫にして役事をなす者はレビ人なり
11 Every morning and every evening they present burnt offerings and fragrant incense to the LORD. They set out the rows of showbread on the ceremonially clean table, and every evening they light the lamps of the gold lampstand. We are carrying out the requirements of the LORD our God, while you have forsaken Him.
彼ら朝ごと夕ごとにヱホバに燔祭を献げ香を焚くことを爲し又供前のパンを純精の案の上に供へまた金の燈臺とその燈盞を整へて夕ごとに點すなり斯われらは我らの神ヱホバの職守を守れども汝らは却て彼を棄たり
12 Now behold, God Himself is with us as our head, and His priests with their trumpets sound the battle call against you. O children of Israel, do not fight against the LORD, the God of your fathers, for you will not succeed.”
視よ神みづから我らとともに在して我らの大將となりたまふまた其祭司等は喇叭を吹ならして汝らを攻むイスラエルの子孫よ汝らの先祖の神ヱホバに敵して戰ふ勿れ汝ら利あらざるべければなりと
13 Now Jeroboam had sent troops around to ambush from the rear, so that while he was in front of Judah, the ambush was behind them.
ヤラベアム伏兵を彼らの後に回らせたればイスラエルはユダの前にあり伏兵は其後にあり
14 When Judah turned and discovered that the battle was both before and behind them, they cried out to the LORD. Then the priests blew the trumpets,
ユダ後を顧みるに敵前後にありければヱホバにむかひて號呼り祭司等喇叭を吹り
15 and the men of Judah raised the battle cry. And when they raised the cry, God routed Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
ユダの人々すなはち吶喊を擧けるがユダの人々吶喊を擧るにあたりて神ヤラベアムとイスラエルの人々をアビヤとユダの前に打敗り給ひしかば
16 So the Israelites fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hands.
イスラエルの子孫はユダの前より逃はしれり神かく彼らを之が手に付したまひければ
17 Then Abijah and his people struck them with a mighty blow, and 500,000 chosen men of Israel fell slain.
アビヤとその民彼らを夥多く撃殺せりイスラエルの殺されて倒れし者は五十萬人みな倔強の人なりき
18 Thus the Israelites were subdued at that time, and the men of Judah prevailed because they relied on the LORD, the God of their fathers.
是時にはイスラエルの子孫打負されユダの子孫勝を得たり是は彼らその先祖の神ヱホバを賴みしが故なり
19 Abijah pursued Jeroboam and captured some cities from him: Bethel, Jeshanah, and Ephron, along with their villages.
アビヤすなはちヤラベアムを追撃て邑數箇を彼より取れり即ちベテルとその郷里ヱシヤナとその郷里エフロンとその郷里是なり
20 Jeroboam did not again recover his power during the days of Abijah, and the LORD struck him down and he died.
ヤラベアムはアビヤの世に再び權勢を奮ふことを得ずヱホバに撃れて死り
21 But Abijah grew strong, married fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.
然どアビヤは權勢を得妻十四人を娶り男子二十二人女子十六人を擧けたり
22 Now the rest of the acts of Abijah, along with his ways and his words, are written in the Treatise of the Prophet Iddo.
アビヤのその餘の作爲とその行爲とその言は預言者イドの註釋に記さる
