2 Chronicles 11
1 And Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, and got together the men of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand of his best fighting-men, to make war against Israel and get the kingdom back for Rehoboam.
茲にレハベアム、ヱルサレムに至りてユダとベニヤミンの家より倔強の武者十八萬を集め而してレハベアム國を己に歸さんためにイスラエルと戰はんとせしに
2 But the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, the man of God, saying,
ヱホバの言神の人シマヤに臨みて云ふ
3 Say to Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin,
ソロモンの子ユダの王レハベアムおよびユダとベニヤミンにあるイスラエルの人々に告て言べし
4 The Lord has said, You are not to go to war against your brothers: let every man go back to his house, for this thing is my purpose. So they gave ear to the words of the Lord and were turned back from fighting against Jeroboam.
ヱホバかく言ふ汝ら攻上るべからず又なんぢらの兄弟と戰ふべからず各々その家に歸れ此事は我より出たる者なりと彼ら乃はちヱホバの言にしたがひヤラベアムに攻ゆくことを止て歸れり
5 Now Rehoboam kept in Jerusalem, building walled towns in Judah.
斯てレハベアム、ヱルサレムに居りユダに守衛の邑々を建たり
6 He was the builder of Beth-lehem and Etam and Tekoa
即ちその建たる者はベテレヘム、エタム、テコア
7 And Beth-zur and Soco and Adullam
ベテズル｀シヨコ、アドラム
8 And Gath and Mareshah and Ziph
ガテ、マレシヤ、ジフ
9 And Adoraim and Lachish and Azekah
アドライム、ラキシ、アゼカ
10 And Zorah and Aijalon and Hebron, walled towns in Judah and Benjamin.
ゾラ、アヤロン、ヘブロン是等はユダとベニヤミンにありて守衛の邑なり
11 And he made the walled towns strong, and he put captains in them and stores of food, oil, and wine.
彼その守衛の邑々を堅固にし之に軍長を置き糧食と油と酒とを貯はへ
12 And in every town he put stores of body-covers and spears, and made them very strong. And Judah and Benjamin were his.
またその一切の邑に盾と矛とを備へて之を甚だ強からしむユダとベニヤミンこれに附り
13 And the priests and Levites who were in all Israel came together to him from every part of their country.
イスラエルの全地の祭司とレビ人は四方の境より來りてレハベアムに投ず
14 For the Levites gave up their living-places and their property, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons had sent them away, not letting them be priests to the Lord;
即ちレビ人はその郊地と產業とを離れてユダとヱルサレムに至れり是はヤラベアムとその子等かれらを廢して祭司の職をヱホバの前に爲しめざりし故なり
15 And he himself made priests for the high places, and for the images of he-goats and oxen which he had made.
ヤラベアムは崇邱と牡山羊と己が作れる犢とのために自ら祭司を立つ
16 And after them, from all the tribes of Israel, all those whose hearts were fixed and true to the Lord, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to make offerings to the Lord, the God of their fathers.
またイスラエルの一切の支派の中凡てその心を傾むけてイスラエルの神ヱホバを求むる者はその先祖の神ヱホバに禮物を献げんとてレビ人にしたがひてヱルサレムに至れり
17 So they went on increasing the power of the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, strong for three years; and for three years they went in the ways of David and Solomon.
是のごとく彼等ユダの國を固うしソロモンの子レハベアムをして三年の間強からしめたり即ち民は三年の間ダビデとソロモンの道に歩めり
18 And Rehoboam took as his wife Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth, the son of David and of Abihail, the daughter of Eliab, the son of Jesse;
レハベアムはダビデの子ヱレモテの女マハラテを妻に娶れりマハラテはヱッサイの子エリアブの女アビハイルの產し者なり
19 And she had sons by him, Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham.
彼ヱウシ、シヤマリヤおよびザハムの三子を產む
20 And after her he took Maacah, the daughter of Absalom; and she had Abijah and Attai and Ziza and Shelomith by him.
また之が後にアブサロムの女マアカを娶れり彼アビヤ、アツタイ、ジザおよびシロミテを產む
21 Maacah, the daughter of Absalom, was dearer to Rehoboam than all his wives and his servant-wives: (for he had eighteen wives and sixty servant-wives, and was the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.)
レハベアムはアブサロムの女マアカをその一切の妻と妾とにまさりて愛せり彼は妻十八人妾六十人を取り男子二十八人女子六十人を擧く
22 Rehoboam made Abijah, the son of Maacah, chief and ruler among his brothers, for it was his purpose to make him king.
レハベアム、マアカの子アビヤを王となさんと思ふが故に之を立て首となしその兄弟の長となせり
23 And in his wisdom he had his sons stationed in every walled town through all the lands of Judah and Benjamin; and he gave them a great store of food, and took wives for them.
斯るが故に慧く取行ひ其男子等を盡くユダとベニヤミンの地なる守衛の邑々に散し置き之に糧食を多く與へかつ衆多の妻を求得させたり
