2 Chronicles 25
1 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan; she was from Jerusalem.
アマジヤは二十五歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて二十九年の間世を治めたりその母はヱルサレムの者にして名をヱホアダンといふ
2 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, but not wholeheartedly.
アマジヤはヱホバの善と視たまふ事を行なひしかども心を全うしてこれを爲ざりき
3 As soon as the kingdom was firmly in his grasp, Amaziah executed the servants who had murdered his father the king.
彼國のおのが手に堅く立つにおよびてその父王を弑せし臣僕等を殺せり
4 Yet he did not put their sons to death, but acted according to what is written in the Law, in the Book of Moses, where the LORD commanded: “Fathers must not be put to death for their children, and children must not be put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin.”
然どその子女等をば殺さずしてモーセの書の律法に記せるごとく爲り即ちヱホバ命じて言たまはく父はその子女の故によりて殺さるべからず子女はその父の故によりて殺さるべからず各々おのれの罪によりて殺さるべきなりと
5 Then Amaziah gathered the people of Judah and assigned them according to their families to commanders of thousands and of hundreds. And he numbered those twenty years of age or older throughout Judah and Benjamin and found 300,000 chosen men able to serve in the army, bearing the spear and shield.
アマジヤ、ユダの人を集めその父祖の家にしたがひて或は千人の長に附屬せしめ或に百人の長に附屬せしむユダとベニヤミンともに然り且二十歳以上の者を數へ戈と楯とを執て戰闘に臨む倔強の士三十萬を得
6 He also hired 100,000 mighty warriors from Israel for a hundred talents of silver.
また銀百タラントをもてイスラエルより大勇士十萬を傭へり
7 But a man of God came to him and said, “O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD is not with Israel—not with any of the Ephraimites.
時に神の人かれに詣りて言けるは王よイスラエルの軍勢をして汝とともに往しむる勿れヱホバはイスラエル人すなはちエフライムの子孫とは偕にいまさざるなり
8 Even if you go and fight bravely in battle, God will make you stumble before the enemy, for God has power to help and power to overthrow.”
汝もし往ば心を強くして戰闘を爲せ神なんぢをして敵の前に斃れしめたまはん神は助くる力ありまた倒す力あるなり
9 Amaziah asked the man of God, “What should I do about the hundred talents I have given to the army of Israel?” And the man of God replied, “The LORD is able to give you much more than this.”
アマジヤ神の人にいひけるは然ば已にイスラエルの軍隊に與へたる百タラントを如何にすべきや神の人答へけるはヱホバは其よりも多き者を汝に賜ふことを得るなりと
10 So Amaziah dismissed the troops who had come to him from Ephraim and sent them home. And they were furious with Judah and returned home in great anger.
是においてアマジヤかのエフライムより來りて己に就る軍隊を分離してその處に歸らしめければ彼らユダにむかひて烈しく怒を發し火のごとくに怒りてその處に歸れり
11 Amaziah, however, summoned his strength and led his troops to the Valley of Salt, where he struck down 10,000 men of Seir,
かくてアマジヤは力を強くしその民を率ゐて鹽の谷に往きセイル人一萬を撃殺せり
12 and the army of Judah also captured 10,000 men alive. They took them to the top of a cliff and threw them down so that all were dashed to pieces.
ユダの子孫またこの外に一萬人を生擒て磐の頂に曳ゆき磐の頂よりこれを投おとしければ皆微塵に碎けたり
13 Meanwhile the troops that Amaziah had dismissed from battle raided the cities of Judah, from Samaria to Beth-horon. They struck down 3,000 people and carried off a great deal of plunder.
前にアマジヤが己とともに戰闘に往べからずとして歸し遣たる軍卒等サマリアよりベテホロンまでのユダの邑々を襲ひ人三千を撃ころし物を多く奪ふ
14 When Amaziah returned from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought back the gods of the Seirites, set them up as his own gods, bowed before them, and burned sacrifices to them.
アマジヤ、エドム人を戮して歸る時にセイル人の神々を携さへ來り之を安置して己の神となしその前に禮拝をなし之に香を焚り
15 Therefore the anger of the LORD burned against Amaziah, and He sent him a prophet, who said, “Why have you sought this people’s gods, which could not deliver them from your hand?”
是をもてヱホバ、アマジヤにむかひて怒を發し預言者をこれに遣はして言しめたまひけるは彼民の神々は己の民を汝の手より救ふことを得ざりし者なるに汝なにとて之を求むるや
16 While he was still speaking, the king asked, “Have we made you the counselor to the king? Stop! Why be struck down?” So the prophet stopped, but he said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not heeded my advice.”
彼かく王に語れる時王これにむかひ我儕汝を王の議官となせしや止よ汝なんぞ撃殺されんとするやと言ければ預言者すなはち止て言り我知る汝この事を行びて吾諌を聽いれざるによりて神なんぢを滅ぼさんと決めたまふと
17 Then Amaziah king of Judah took counsel and sent word to the king of Israel Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu. “Come, let us meet face to face,” he said.
斯てユダの王アマジヤ相議りて人をヱヒウの子ヱホアハズの子なるイスラエルの王ヨアシに遣し來れ我儕たがひに面をあはせんと言しめければ
18 But Jehoash king of Israel replied to Amaziah king of Judah: “A thistle in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son in marriage.’ Then a wild beast in Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle.
イスラエルの王ヨアシ、ユダの王アマジヤに言おくりけるはレバノンの荊蕀かつてレバノンの香柏に汝の女子を我子の妻に與へよと言おくりたること有しにレバノンの野獣とほりてその荊蕀を踏たふせり
19 You have said, ‘Look, I have defeated Edom,’ and your heart has become proud and boastful. Now stay at home. Why should you stir up trouble so that you fall—you and Judah with you?”
汝はエドム人を撃破れりと謂ひ心にたかぶりて誇る然ば汝家に安んじ居れ何ぞ禍を惹おこして自己もユダもともに亡びんとするやと
20 But Amaziah would not listen, for this had come from God in order to deliver them into the hand of Jehoash, because they had sought the gods of Edom.
然るにアマジヤ聽ことをせざりき此事は神より出たる者にて彼らをその敵の手に付さんがためなり是は彼らエドムの神々を求めしに因る
21 So Jehoash king of Israel advanced, and he and Amaziah king of Judah faced each other at Beth-shemesh in Judah.
是においてイスラエルの王ヨアシ上りきたりユダのベテシメシにてユダの王アマジヤと面をあはせたりしが
22 And Judah was routed before Israel, and every man fled to his own home.
ユダ、イスラエルに撃敗られて各々その天幕に逃かへりぬ
23 There at Beth-shemesh, Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz. Then Jehoash brought him to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate—a section of four hundred cubits.
時にイスラエルの王ヨアシはヱホアハズの子ヨアシの子なるユダの王アマジヤをベテシメシに執へてヱルサレムに携へゆきヱルサレムの石垣をエフライムの門より隅の門まで四百キユビト程を毀ち
24 He took all the gold and silver and all the articles found in the house of God with Obed-edom and in the treasuries of the royal palace, as well as some hostages. Then he returned to Samaria.
また神の室の中にてオベデエドムが守り居る一切の金銀および諸の器皿ならびに王の家の財寳を取りかつ人質をとりてサマリアに歸れり
25 Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.
ユダの王ヨアシの子アマジヤはイスラエルの王ヱホアハズの子ヨアシの死てより後なほ十五年生存らへたり
26 As for the rest of the acts of Amaziah, from beginning to end, are they not written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel?
アマジヤのその餘の始終の行爲はユダとイスラエルの列王の書に記さるるにあらずや
27 From the time that Amaziah turned from following the LORD, a conspiracy was formed against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But men were sent after him to Lachish, and they killed him there.
アマジヤ翻へりてヱホバに從がはずなりし後ヱルサレムにおいて黨を結びて彼に敵する者ありければ彼ラキシに逃ゆきけるにその人々ラキシに人をやりて彼を其處に殺さしめたり
28 They carried him back on horses and buried him with his fathers in the City of Judah.
人衆これを馬に負せてきたりユダの邑にてその先祖等とともにこれを葬りぬ
