< 2 Chronicles 26 >

1 All the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
是においてユダの民みなウジヤをとりて王となしてその父アマジヤに代らしめたり時に年十六なりき
2 Uzziah was the one who rebuilt Eloth and restored it to Judah after King Amaziah rested with his fathers.
彼エラテの邑を建てこれを再びユダに歸せしむ是はかの王がその先祖等とともに寝りし後なりき
3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem.
ウジヤは十六歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて五十二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コリアといふ
4 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father Amaziah had done.
ウジヤはその父アマジヤが凡てなしたる如くヱホバの善と觀たまふ事を行ひ
5 He sought God throughout the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear of God. And as long as he sought the LORD, God gave him success.
神の默示に明なりしかのゼカリヤの世にある日の間心をこめてヱホバを求めたりそのヱホバを求むる間は神これをして幸福ならしめたまへり
6 Uzziah went out to wage war against the Philistines, and he tore down the walls of Gath, Jabneh, and Ashdod. Then he built cities near Ashdod and among the Philistines.
彼いでてペリシテ人と戰ひガテの石垣ヤブネの石垣およびアシドドの石垣を圮しアシドドの地ならびにペリシテ人の中間に邑を建つ
7 God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabs living in Gur-baal, and against the Meunites.
神かれを助けてペリシテ人グルバアルに住むアラビヤ人およびメウニ人を攻撃しめたまへり
8 The Ammonites brought tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread as far as the border of Egypt, for he had become exceedingly powerful.
アンモニ人はまたウジヤに貢を納るウジヤの名つひにエジプトの入口までも廣まれり其は甚だ強くなりければなり
9 Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate, the Valley Gate, and the angle in the wall, and he fortified them.
ウジヤ、ヱルサレムの隅の門谷の門および角隅に戌樓を建てこれを堅固にし
10 Since he had much livestock in the foothills and in the plain, he built towers in the desert and dug many cisterns. And since he was a lover of the soil, he had farmers and vinedressers in the hill country and in the fertile fields.
また荒野に戌樓を建て許多の水溜を掘り其は家畜を多く有たればなり亦平野にも平地にも家畜を有り又山々およびカルメルには農夫と葡萄を修る者を有り農事を好みたればなり
11 Uzziah had an army ready for battle that went out to war by assigned divisions, as recorded by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer under the direction of Hananiah, one of the royal officers.
ウジヤ戰士一旅團あり書記ヱイエルと牧伯マアセヤの數調査によりて隊々にわかれて戰爭に出づ皆王の軍長ハナニヤの手に屬す
12 The total number of family leaders of the mighty men of valor was 2,600.
大勇士の族長の數は都合二千六百
13 Under their authority was an army of 307,500 trained for war, a powerful force to support the king against his enemies.
その手に屬する軍勢は三十萬七千五百人みな大なる力をもて戰ひ王を助けて敵に當る
14 Uzziah supplied the entire army with shields, spears, helmets, armor, bows, and slingstones.
ウジヤその全軍のために楯戈兜鎧弓および投石器の石を備ふ
15 And in Jerusalem he made skillfully designed devices to shoot arrows and catapult large stones from the towers and corners. So his fame spread far and wide, for he was helped tremendously so that he became powerful.
彼またヱルサレムにおいて工人に機械を案へ造らしめ之を戌樓および石垣に施こし之をもて矢ならびに大石を射出せり是においてその名遠く廣まれり其は非常の援助を蒙りて旺盛になりたればなり
16 But when Uzziah grew powerful, his arrogance led to his own destruction. He was unfaithful to the LORD his God, for he entered the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense.
然るに彼旺盛になるにおよびその心に高ぶりて惡き事を行なへり即ち彼その神ヱホバにむかひて罪を犯しヱホバの殿に入て香壇の上に香を焚んとせり
17 Then Azariah the priest, along with eighty brave priests of the LORD, went in after him.
時に祭司アザリヤ、ヱホバの祭司たる勇者八十人を率ゐて彼の後にしたがひ入り
18 They took their stand against King Uzziah and said, “Uzziah, you have no right to offer incense to the LORD. Only the priests, the descendants of Aaron, are consecrated to burn incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have acted unfaithfully; you will not receive honor from the LORD God.”
ウジヤ王を阻へてこれに言けるはウジヤよヱホバに香を焚ことは汝のなすべき所にあらずアロンの子孫にして香を焚ために潔められたる祭司等のなすべき所なり聖所より出よ汝は罪を犯せりヱホバ神なんぢに榮を加へたまはじと
19 Uzziah, with a censer in his hand to offer incense, was enraged. But while he raged against the priests in their presence in the house of the LORD before the altar of incense, leprosy broke out on his forehead.
是においてウジヤ怒を發し香爐を手にとりて香を焚んとせしがその祭司にむかひて怒を發しをる間に癩病その額に起れり時に彼はヱホバの室にて祭司等の前にあたりて香壇の側にをる
20 When Azariah the chief priest and all the priests turned to him and saw his leprous forehead, they rushed him out. Indeed, he himself hurried to get out, because the LORD had afflicted him.
祭司の長アザリヤおよび一切の祭司等彼を見しに已にその額に癩病生じゐたれば彼を其處より速にいだせり彼もまたヱホバの己を撃たまへるを見て自ら急ぎて出去り
21 So King Uzziah was a leper until the day of his death. He lived in isolation, leprous and cut off from the house of the LORD, while his son Jotham had charge of the royal palace to govern the people of the land.
ウジヤ王はその死る日まで癩病人となり居しがその癩病人となるにおよびては別殿に住りヱホバの室より斷れたればなり其子ヨタム王の家を管理て國の民を審判り
22 As for the rest of the acts of Uzziah, from beginning to end, they are recorded by the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz.
ウジヤのその餘の始終の行爲はアモツの子預言者イザヤこれを書記したり
23 And Uzziah rested with his fathers and was buried near them in a field of burial that belonged to the kings; for the people said, “He was a leper.” And his son Jotham reigned in his place.
ウジヤその先祖等とともに寝りたれば彼は癩病人なりとて王等の墓に連接る地にこれを葬りてその先祖等とともならしむその子ヨタムこれに代りて王となれり
