2 Kings 16
1 In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah, Ahaz son of Jotham became king of Judah.
レマリヤの子ペカの十七年にユダの王ヨタムの子アハズ王となれり
2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. And unlike David his father, he did not do what was right in the eyes of the LORD his God.
アハズは王となれる時二十歳にしてエルサレムにおいて十六年世を治めたりしがその神ヱホバの善と見たまふ事をその父ダビデのごとくは行はざりき
3 Instead, he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and even sacrificed his son in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
彼はイスラエルの王等の道にあゆみまたその子に火の中を通らしめたり是はヱホバがイスラエルの子孫の前より逐はらひたまひし異邦人のおこなふところの憎むべき事にしたがへるなり
4 And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.
彼は崇邱の上丘の上一切の靑木の下に犠牲をささげ香をたけり
5 Then Rezin king of Aram and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to wage war against Jerusalem. They besieged Ahaz but could not overcome him.
この頃スリアの王レヂンおよびレマリヤの子なるイスラエルの王ペカ、エルサレムにせめのぼりてアハズを圍みけるが勝ことを得ざりき
6 At that time Rezin king of Aram recovered Elath for Aram, drove out the men of Judah, and sent the Edomites into Elath, where they live to this day.
この時にあたりてスリアの王レヂン復エラテをスリアに歸せしめユダヤ人をエラテより逐いだせり而してスリア人エラテにきたりて其處に住み今日にいたる
7 So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. Come up and save me from the hands of the kings of Aram and Israel, who are rising up against me.”
是においてアハズ使者をアツスリヤの王テグラテピレセルにつかはして言しめけるは我は汝の臣僕汝の子なりスリアの王とイスラエルの王と我に攻かかりをれば請ふ上りきたりてかれらの手より我を救ひいだしたまへと
8 Ahaz also took the silver and gold found in the house of the LORD and in the treasuries of the king’s palace, and he sent it as a gift to the king of Assyria.
アハズすなはちヱホバの家と王の家の庫とにあるところの銀と金をとりこれを禮物としてアツスリヤの王におくりしかば
9 So the king of Assyria responded to him, marched up to Damascus, and captured it. He took its people to Kir as captives and put Rezin to death.
アツスリヤの王かれの請を容たりアツスリヤの王すなはちダマスコに攻のぼりて之をとりその民をキルに擄うつしまたレヂンを殺せり
10 Then King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria. On seeing the altar in Damascus, King Ahaz sent Uriah the priest a model of the altar and complete plans for its construction.
かくてアハズはアツスリヤの王テグラテピレセルに會んとてダマスコにゆきけるがダマスコにおいて一箇の祭壇を見たればアスス王その祭壇の工作にしたがひて委くこれが圖と式樣を制へて祭司ウリヤにこれをおくれり
11 And Uriah the priest built the altar according to all the instructions King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, and he completed it by the time King Ahaz had returned.
是において祭司ウリヤはアハズ王がダマスコよりおくりたる所にてらして一箇の祭壇をつくりアハズ王がダマスコより來るまでにこれを作りおけり
12 When the king came back from Damascus and saw the altar, he approached it and presented offerings on it.
茲に王ダマスコより歸りてその祭壇を見壇にちかよりてこれに上り
13 He offered his burnt offering and his grain offering, poured out his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings on the altar.
壇の上に燔祭と素祭を焚き灌祭をそそぎ酬恩祭の血を灑げり
14 He also took the bronze altar that stood before the LORD from the front of the temple (between the new altar and the house of the LORD) and he put it on the north side of the new altar.
彼またヱホバの前なる銅の壇を家の前より移せり即ちこれをかの新しき壇とヱホバの家の間より移してかの壇の北の方に置たり
15 Then King Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest, “Offer on the great altar the morning burnt offering, the evening grain offering, and the king’s burnt offering and grain offering, as well as the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings of all the people of the land. Sprinkle on the altar all the blood of the burnt offerings and sacrifices. But I will use the bronze altar to seek guidance.”
而してアハズ王祭司ウリヤに命じて言ふ朝の燔祭夕の素祭および王の燔祭とその素祭ならびに國中の民の燔祭とその素祭および灌祭はこの大なる壇の上に焚べし又この上に燔祭の牲の血と犠牲の物の血をすべて灑ぐべし彼の銅の壇の事はなほ考ふるあらん
16 So Uriah the priest did just as King Ahaz had commanded.
祭司ウリヤすなはちアハズ王のすべて命じたるごとくに然なせり
17 King Ahaz also cut off the frames of the movable stands and removed the bronze basin from each of them. He took down the Sea from the bronze oxen that were under it and put it on a stone base.
またアハズ王臺の邊を削りて洗盤をその上よりうつしまた海をその下なる銅の牛の上よりおろして石の座の上に置ゑ
18 And on account of the king of Assyria, he removed the Sabbath canopy they had built in the temple and closed the royal entryway outside the house of the LORD.
また家に造りたる安息日用の遊廊および王の外の入口をアツスリヤの王のためにヱホバの家の中に變じたり
19 As for the rest of the acts of Ahaz, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
アハズのなしたるその餘の行爲はユダの王の歴代志の書にしるさるるにあらずや
20 And Ahaz rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David, and his son Hezekiah reigned in his place.
アハズ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ヒゼキヤこれにかはりて王となれり
