< 2 Chronicles 21 >

1 And Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David. And his son Jehoram reigned in his place.
ヨシヤパテその先祖等とともに寝りてダビデの邑にその先祖等とともに葬られその子ヨラムこれに代て王となる
2 Jehoram’s brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat, were Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah; these were all sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
ヨシヤパテの子たるその兄弟はアザリヤ、ヱヒエル、ゼカリヤ、アザリヤ、ミカエルおよびシバテヤ是みなイスラエルの王ヨシヤパテの子なり
3 Their father had given them many gifts of silver and gold and precious things, as well as the fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram because he was the firstborn.
その父彼らに金銀寶物の賜物を多く與へまたユダの守衛の邑々を與へけるが國はヨラムに與へたりヨラム長子なりければなり
4 When Jehoram had established himself over his father’s kingdom, he strengthened himself by putting to the sword all his brothers along with some of the princes of Israel.
ヨラムその父の位に登りて力つよくなりければその兄弟等をことごとく劍にかけて殺し又イスラエルの牧伯等數人を殺せり
5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years.
ヨラムは三十二歳の時位に即ヱルサレムにて八年の間世を治めたり
6 And Jehoram walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done. For he married a daughter of Ahab and did evil in the sight of the LORD.
彼はアハブの家のなせるごとくイスラエルの王等の道にあゆめりアハブの女を妻となしたればなり斯かれヱホバの目に惡と觀たまふ事をなせしかども
7 Yet the LORD was unwilling to destroy the house of David, because of the covenant He had made with David, and since He had promised to maintain a lamp for David and his descendants forever.
ヱホバ曩にダビデに契約をなし且彼とその子孫とに永遠に光明を與へんと言たまひし故によりてダビデの家を滅ぼすことを欲み給はざりき
8 In the days of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against the hand of Judah and appointed their own king.
ヨラムの世にエドム人叛きてユダの手に服せず自ら王を立たれば
9 So Jehoram crossed into Edom with his officers and all his chariots. When the Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, he rose up and attacked by night.
ヨラム其牧伯等および一切の戰車をしたがへて渉りゆき夜の中に起いでて自己を圍めるエドム人を撃ちその戰車の長等を撃り
10 So to this day Edom has been in rebellion against the hand of Judah. Likewise, Libnah rebelled against his rule at the same time, because Jehoram had forsaken the LORD, the God of his fathers.
エドム人は斯叛きてユダの手に服せずなりしが今日まで然り此時にあたりてリブナもまた叛きてユダの手に服せずなりぬ是はヨラムその先祖の神ヱホバを棄たるに因てなり
11 Jehoram had also built high places on the hills of Judah; he had caused the people of Jerusalem to prostitute themselves and had led Judah astray.
彼またユダの山々に崇邱を作りてヱルサレムの民に姦淫をおこなはせユダを惑はせり
12 Then a letter came to Jehoram from Elijah the prophet, which stated: “This is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: ‘You have not walked in the ways of your father Jehoshaphat or of Asa king of Judah,
時に預言者エリヤの書ヨラムの許に達せり其言に云く汝の先祖ダビデの神ヱホバかく言たまふ汝はその父ヨシヤパテの道にあゆまずまたユダの王アサの道にあゆまずして
13 but you have walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and have caused Judah and the people of Jerusalem to prostitute themselves, just as the house of Ahab prostituted itself. You have also killed your brothers, your father’s family, who were better than you.
イスラエルの王等の道にあゆみユダの人とヱルサレムの民をしてアハブの家の姦淫をなせるごとくに姦淫を行はしめまた汝の父の家の者にて汝に愈れるところの汝の兄弟等を殺せり
14 So behold, the LORD is about to strike your people, your sons, your wives, and all your possessions with a serious blow.
故にヱホバ大なる災禍をもて汝の民汝の子女汝の妻等および汝の一切の所有を撃たまふべし
15 And day after day you yourself will suffer from a severe illness, a disease of your bowels, until it causes your bowels to come out.’”
汝はまた臓腑の疾を得て大病になりその疾日々に重りて臓腑つひに墜んと
16 Then the LORD stirred against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and Arabs who lived near the Cushites.
即ちヱホバ、ヨラムを攻させんとてエテオピアに近きところのペリシテ人とアラビヤ人の心を振起したまひければ
17 So they went to war against Judah, invaded it, and carried off all the possessions found in the king’s palace, along with his sons and wives; not a son was left to him except Jehoahaz, his youngest.
彼らユダに攻のぼりて之を侵し王の家に在ところの貨財を盡く奪ひ取りまたヨウムの子等と妻等をも携へ去れり是をもてその末子ヱホアハズの外には一人も遺れる者なかりき
18 After all this, the LORD afflicted Jehoram with an incurable disease of the bowels.
此もろもろの事の後ヱホバ彼を撃て臓腑に愈ざる疾を生ぜしめたまひければ
19 This continued day after day until two full years had passed. Finally, his intestines came out because of his disease, and he died in severe pain. And his people did not make a fire in his honor as they had done for his fathers.
月日を送り二年を經るにおよびてその臓腑疾のために墜ち重き病苦によりて死ねり民かれの先祖のために焚物をなせし如く彼のためには焚物をなさざりき
20 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. He died, to no one’s regret, and was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
彼は三十二歳の時位に即き八年の間ヱルサレムにて世を治めて終に薨去れり之を惜む者なかりき人衆これをダビデの邑に葬れり但し王等の墓にはあらず
