Kings IV 10
1 And Achaab [had] seventy sons in Samaria. And Ju wrote a letter, and sent it into Samaria to the rulers of Samaria, and to the elders, and to the guardians of [the children of] Achaab, saying.
アハブ、サマリヤに七十人の子あり茲にヱヒウ書をしたためてサマリヤにおくり邑の牧伯等と長老等とアハブの子等の師傳等とに傳へて云ふ
2 Now then, as soon as this letter shall have reached you, whereas [there are] with you the sons of your master, and with you chariots and horses, and strong cities, and arms,
汝らの主の子等汝らとともにあり又汝等は車も馬も城もあり且武器もあれば此書汝らの許にいたらば
3 do ye accordingly look out the best and fittest among your master's sons, and set him on the throne of his father, and fight for the house of your master.
汝らの主の子等の中より最も優れる方正き者を選みだ出してその父の位に置ゑ汝等の主の家のために戰へよ
4 And they feared greatly, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him: and how shall we stand?
彼ら大に恐れて言ふ二人の王等すでに彼に當ることを得ざりしなれば我儕いかでか當ることを得んと
5 So they that were over the house, and they that were over the city, and the elders and the guardians, sent to Ju, saying, We also [are] thy servants, and whatsoever thou shalt say to us we will do; we will not make [any] man king: we will do that which is right in thine eyes.
乃ち家宰邑宰長老師傳等ヱヒウに言おくりけるは我儕は汝の僕なり凡て汝が我儕に命ずる事を爲ん我儕は王を立るを好まず汝の目に善と見ゆる所を爲せ
6 And Ju wrote them a second letter, saying, If ye [are] for me, and hearken to my voice, take the heads of the men your master's sons, and bring [them] to me at this time to-morrow in Jezrael. Now the sons of the king were seventy men; these great men of the city brought them up.
是においてヱヒウ再度かれらに書をおくりて云ふ汝らもし我に與き我言にしたがふならば汝らの主の子なる人々の首をとりて明日の今頃ヱズレルにきたりて吾許にいたれと當時王の子七十人はその師傳なる邑の貴人等とともに居る
7 And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and slew them, [even] seventy men, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him at Jezrael.
その書かれらに至りしかば彼等王の子等をとらへてその七十人をことごとく殺しその首を籃につめてこれをヱズレルのヱヒウの許につかはせり
8 And a messenger came and told [him], saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay them [in] two heaps by the door of the gate until the morning.
すなはち使者いたりてヱヒウに告て人衆王の子等の首をたづさへ來れりと言ければ明朝までそれを門の入口に二山に積おけと言り
9 And the morning came, and he went forth, and stood, and said to all the people, Ye are righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him: but who slew all these?
朝におよび彼出て立ちすべての民に言ふ汝等は義し我はわが主にそむきて之を弑したり然ど此すべての者等を殺せしは誰なるぞや
10 See now that there shall not fall to the ground anything of the word of the Lord which the Lord spoke against the house of Achaab: for the Lord has performed all that he spoke of by the hand of his servant Eliu.
然ば汝等知れヱホバがアハブの家につきて告たまひしヱホバの言は一も地に隕ず即ちヱホバはその僕エリヤによりて告し事を成たまへりと
11 And Ju smote all that were left of the house of Achaab in Jezrael, and all his great men, and his acquaintance, and his priests, so as not to leave him [any] remnant.
斯てヱヒウはアハブの家に屬する者のヱズレルに遺れるを盡く殺しまたその一切の重立たる者その親き者およびその祭司等を殺して彼に屬する者を一人も遺さざりき
12 And he arose and went to Samaria, [and] he [was] in the house of sheep-shearing in the way.
ヱヒウすなはち起て往てサマリヤに至りしがヱヒウ途にある時牧者の集會所において
13 And Ju found the brethren of Ochozias king of Juda, and said, Who [are] ye? And they said, We [are] the brethren of Ochozias, and we have come down to salute the sons of the king, and the sons of the queen.
ユダの王アハジアの兄弟等に遇ひ汝等は何人なるやと言けるに我儕はアハジアの兄弟なるが王の子等と王母の子等の安否を問んとて下るなりと答へたれば
14 And he said, Take them alive. And they slew them at the shearing-house, forty and two men: he left not a man of them.
彼等を生擒れと言り即ちかれらを生擒りその集會所の穴の側にて彼等四十二人を盡く殺し一人をも遺さざりき
15 And he went thence and found Jonadab the son of Rechab [coming] to meet him; and he saluted him, and Ju said to him, Is thy heart right with my heart, as my heart [is] with thy heart? And Jonadab said, It is. And Ju said, If it is then, give me thy hand. And he gave him his hand, and he took him up to him into the chariot.
斯てヱヒウ其處より進みゆきしがレカブの子ヨナダブの己を迎にきたるに遭ければその安否をとふてこれに汝の心はわが心の汝の心と同一なるがごとくに眞實なるやと言けるにヨナダブ答へて眞實なりと言たれば然ば汝の手を我に伸よと言ひその手を伸ければ彼を挽て己の車に登らしめて
16 And he said to him, Come with me, and see me zealous for the Lord. And he caused him to sit in his chariot.
言ふ我とともに來りて我がヱホバに熱心なるを見よと斯かれを己の車に乗しめ
17 And he entered into Samaria, and smote all that were left of Achaab in Samaria, until he had utterly destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Eliu.
サマリヤにいたりてアハブに屬する者のサマリヤに遺れるを盡く殺して遂にその一族を滅せりヱホバのエリヤに告たまひし言語のごとし
18 And Ju gathered all the people, and said to them, Achaab served Baal a little; Ju shall serve him much.
茲にヱヒウ民をことごとく集てこれに言けるはアハブは少くバアルに事たるがヱヒウは大にこれに事へんとす
19 Now then do all [ye] the prophets of Baal call all his servants and his priests to me; let not a man be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice [to offer] to Baal; every one who shall be missing shall die. But Ju did it in subtilty, that he might destroy the servants of Baal.
然ば今バアルの諸の預言者諸の臣僕諸の祭司等を我許に召せ一人も來らざる者なからしめよ我大なる祭祀をバアルのためになさんとするなり凡て來らざる者は生しおかじと但しヱヒウ、バアルの僕等を滅さんとて偽りて斯なせるなり
20 And Ju said, Sanctify a solemn festival to Baal, and they made a proclamation.
ヱヒウすなはちバアルの祭禮を設よと言ければ之を宣たり
21 And Ju sent throughout all Israel, saying, Now then let all [Baal's] servants, and all his priests, and all his prophets [come], let none be lacking: for I am going to offer a great sacrifice; whosoever shall be missing, shall not live. So all the servants of Baal came, and all his priests, and all his prophets: there was not one left who came not. And they entered into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to the other.
是てヱヒウあまねくイスラエルに人をつかはしたればバアルの僕たる者皆きたれり一人も來らずして遺れるものはあらざりき彼等バアルの家にいりたればバアルの家は末より末まで充わたれり
22 And he said to the man who was over the house of the wardrobe, Bring forth a robe for all the servants of Baal. And the keeper of the robes brought forth to them.
時にヱヒウ衣裳を掌どる者てむかひ禮服をとりいだしてバアルの凡の僕等にあたへよといひければすなはち禮服をとりいだせり
23 And Ju and Jonadab the son of Rechab entered into the house of Baal, and said to the servants of Baal, Search, and see whether there is among you any of the servants of the Lord, or only the servants of Baal, by themselves.
斯ありてヱヒウはレカブの子ヨナダブとともにバアルの家にいりしがバアルの僕等に言ふ汝等尋ね見て此には只バアルの僕のみあらしめヱホバの僕を一人も汝らの中にあらしめざれと
24 And he went in to offer sacrifices and whole-burnt-offerings; and Ju set for himself eighty men without, and said, Every man who shall escape of the men whom I bring into your hand, the life of him [that spares him] shall go for his life.
彼等犠牲と燔祭を献げんとて入し時ヱヒウ八十人の者を外に置て言ふ凡てわがその手にわたすところの人を一人にても逃れしむる者は己の生命をもてその人の生命に代べしと
25 And it came to pass, when he had finished offering the whole-burnt-offering, that Ju said to the footmen and to the officers, Go ye in and slay them; let not a man of them escape. So they smote them with the edge of the sword, and the footmen and the officers cast [the bodies] forth, and went to the city of the house of Baal.
期て燔祭を献ぐることの終りし時ヱヒウその士卒と諸將に言ふ入てかれらを殺せ一人をも出すなかれとすなはち刃をもて彼等を撃ころせり而して士卒と諸將これを投いだしてバアルの家の内殿に入り
26 And they brought out the pillar of Baal, and burnt it.
諸の像をバアルの家よりとりいだしてこれを燒り
27 And they tore down the pillars of Baal, and made his house a draught-house until this day.
即ちかれらバアルの像をこぼちバアルの家をこぼち其をもて厠を造りしが今日までのこる
28 So Ju abolished Baal out of Israel.
ヱヒウかくイスラエルの中よりバアルを絶さりたりしかども
29 Nevertheless Ju departed not from following the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin: [these were] the golden heifers in Baethel and in Dan.
ヱヒウは尚かのイスラエルに罪を犯させたるネバテの子ヤラベアムの罪に離るることをせざりき即ち彼なほベテルとダンにあるところの金の犢に事たり
30 And the Lord said to Ju, Because of all thy deeds wherein thou hast acted well in doing that which was right in my eyes, according to all things which thou hast done to the house of Achaab [as they were] in my heart, thy sons to the fourth generation shall sit upon the throne of Israel.
ヱホバ、ヱヒウに言たまひけらく汝わが義と視るところの事を行ふにあたりて善く事をなしまたわが心にある諸の事をアハブの家になしたれば汝の子孫は四代までイスラエルの位に坐せんと
31 But Ju took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart: he departed not from following the sins of Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin.
然るにヱヒウは心を盡してイスラエルの神ヱホバの律法をおこなはんとはせず尚かのイスラエルに罪を犯させたるヤラベアムの罪に離れざりき
32 In those days the Lord began to cut Israel short; and Azael smote them in every coast of Israel;
是時にあたりてヱホバ、イスラエルを割くことを始めたまへりハザエルすなはちイスラエルの一切の邊境を侵し
33 from Jordan eastward all the land of Galaad belonging to the Gadites, of Gaddi and that of Ruben, and of Manasses, from Aroer, which is on the brink of the brook of Arnon, and Galaad and Basan.
ヨルダンの東においてギレアデの全地ガド人ルベン人マナセ人の地を侵しアルノン河の邊なるアロエルよりギレアデにいたりバシヤンにおよべり
34 And the rest of the acts of Ju, and all that he did, and all his might, and the wars wherein he engaged, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
ヱヒウのその餘の行爲とその凡て爲たる事むよびその大なる能はイスラエルの王の歴代志の書に記さるるにあらずや
35 And Ju slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joachaz his son reigned in his stead.
ヱヒウその先祖等とともに寝りたればこれをサマリヤに葬りぬその子ヱホアハズこれに代て王となれり
36 And the days which Ju reigned over Israel [were] twenty-eight years in Samaria.
ヱヒウがサマリヤにをりてイスラエルに王たりし間は二十八年なりき
