2 Chronicles 16
1 In the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.
アサの治世の三十六年にイスラエルの王バアシヤ、ユダに攻のぼりユダの王アサの所に誰をも往來せざらしめんとてラマを建たり
2 So Asa withdrew the silver and gold from the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he sent it with this message to Ben-hadad king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus:
是においてアサ、ヱホバの家と王の家との府庫より金銀を取いだしダマスコに住るスリアの王ベネハダデに餽りて言けるは
3 “Let there be a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. See, I have sent you silver and gold. Now go and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.”
我父と汝の父の間の如く我と汝の間に約を立ん視よ我今汝に金銀を餽れり往て汝とイスラエルの王バアシヤとの約を破り彼をして我を離れて去しめよ
4 And Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, conquering Ijon, Dan, Abel-maim, and all the store cities of Naphtali.
ベネハダデすなはちアサ王に聽き自己の軍勢の長等をイスラエルの邑々に攻遣ければ彼等イヨン、ダン、アベルマイムおよびナフタリの一切の府庫の邑々を撃たり
5 When Baasha learned of this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and abandoned his work.
バアシヤ聞てラマを建ることを罷めその工事を廢せり
6 Then King Asa brought all the men of Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and the timbers Baasha had used for building. And with these materials he built up Geba and Mizpah.
是においてアサ王ユダ全國の人を率ゐバアシヤがラマを建るに用ひたる石と材木を運びきたらしめ之をもてゲバとミズパを建たり
7 At that time Hanani the seer came to King Asa of Judah and told him, “Because you have relied on the king of Aram and not on the LORD your God, the army of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand.
その頃先見者ハナニ、ユダの王アサの許にいたりて之に言けるは汝はスリアの王に倚賴みて汝の神ヱホバに倚賴まざりしに因てスリア王の軍勢は汝の手を脱せり
8 Were not the Cushites and Libyans a vast army with many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you relied on the LORD, He delivered them into your hand.
かのエテオピア人とルビ人は大軍にして戰車および騎兵はなはだ多かりしにあらずや然るも汝ヱホバに倚賴みたればヱホバかれらを汝の手に付したまへり
9 For the eyes of the LORD roam to and fro over all the earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are fully devoted to Him. You have acted foolishly in this matter. From now on, therefore, you will be at war.”
ヱホバは全世界を徧く見そなはし己にむかひて心を全うする者のために力を顯したまふこの事において汝は愚なる事をなせり故に此後は汝に戰爭あるべしと
10 Asa was angry with the seer and became so enraged over this matter that he put the man in prison. And at the same time Asa oppressed some of the people.
然るにアサその先見者を怒りて之を獄舎にいれたり其は烈しくこの事のために彼を怒りたればなりアサまた其頃民を虐げたる事ありき
11 Now the rest of the acts of Asa, from beginning to end, are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
アサの始終の行爲はユダとイスラエルの列王の書に記さる
12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa became diseased in his feet, and his malady became increasingly severe. Yet even in his illness he did not seek the LORD, but only the physicians.
アサはその治世の三十九年に足を病みその病患つひに劇しくなりしがその病患の時にもヱホバを求めずして醫師を求めたり
13 So in the forty-first year of his reign, Asa died and rested with his fathers.
アサその先祖等と偕に寝りその治世の四十一年に死り
14 And he was buried in the tomb that he had cut out for himself in the City of David. They laid him on a bier that was full of spices and various blended perfumes; then they made a great fire in his honor.
人衆これをその己のためにダビデの邑に堀おける墓に葬り製香の術をもて製したる種々の香物を盈せる床の上に置き之がために夥多しく焚物をなせり
