Kings IV 23
1 So they reported the word to the king: and the king sent and gathered all the elders of Juda and Jerusalem to himself.
是において王人をつかはしてユダとヱルサレムの長老をことごとく集め
2 And the king went up to the house of the Lord, and every man of Juda and all who lived in Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people small and great; and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the Lord.
而して王ヱホバの家にのぼれりユダの諸の人々ヱルサレムの一切の民および祭司預言者ならびに大小の民みな之にしたがふ王すなはちヱホバの家に見あたりし契約の書の言をことごとくかれらの耳に讀きかせ
3 And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his ordinances with all the heart and with all the soul, to confirm the words of this covenant; [even] the things written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.
而して王高座の上に立てヱホバの前に契約をなしヱホバにしたがひて歩み心をつくし精神をつくしてその誡命と律法と法度を守り此書にしるされたる此契約の言をおこなはんと言り民みなその契約に加はりぬ
4 And the king commanded Chelcias the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and them that kept the door, to bring out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and all the host of heaven, and he burnt them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kedron, and took the ashes of them to Baethel.
かくして王祭司の長ヒルキヤとその下にたつところの祭司等および門守等に命じてヱホバの家よりしてバアルとアシラと天の衆群との爲に作りたる諸の器と執いださしめヱルサレムの外にてキデロンの野にこれを燒きその灰をベテルに持ゆかしめ
5 And he burnt the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Juda [had] appointed, (and they burnt incense in the high places and in the cities of Juda, and the places around about Jerusalem); and them that burnt incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to Mazuroth, and to all the host of heaven.
又ユダの王等が立てダの邑々とヱルサレムの四圍なる崇邱に香をたかしめたる祭司等を廢しまたバアルと日月星宿と天の衆群とに香を焚く者等をも廢せり
6 And he carried out the grove from the house of the Lord to the brook Kedron, and burnt it at the brook Kedron, and reduced it to powder, and cast its powder on the sepulchres of the sons of the people.
彼またヱホバの家よりアシラ像をとりいだしヱルサレムの外に持ゆきてキデロン川にいたりキデロン川においてこれを燒きこれを打碎きて粉となしその粉を民の墓に散し
7 And he pulled down the house of the sodomites that were by the house of the Lord, where the women wove tents for the grove.
またヱホバの家の旁にある男娼の家を毀てり其處はまた婦人がアシラのために天幕を織ところなりき
8 And he brought up all the priest from the cities of Juda, and defiled the high places where the priests burnt incense, from Gaebal even to Bersabee; and he pulled down the house of the gates that was by the door of the gate of Joshua the ruler of the city, on a man's left hand at the gate of the city.
彼またユダの邑々より祭司をことごとく召よせまた祭司が香をたきたる崇邱をばゲバよりベエルシバまでこれを汚しまた門にある崇邱を毀てり是等の崇邱は一は邑の宰ヨシユアの門の入口にあり一は邑の門にありて之に入る人の左にあたる
9 Only the priests of the high places went not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, for they only ate leavened bread in the midst of their brethren.
崇邱の祭司等はエルサレムにおいてヱホバの壇にのぼることをせざりき但し彼等はその兄弟の中にありて無酵パンを食へり
10 And he defiled Taphes which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, [constructed] for a man to cause his son or his daughter to pass through fire to Moloch.
王また人がその子息息女に火の中を通らしめて之をモロクにささぐることなからんためにベンヒンノムの谷にあるトペテを汚し
11 And he burnt the horses which the king of Juda had given to the sun in the entrance of the house of the Lord, by the treasury of Nathan the king's eunuch, in the suburbs; and he burnt the chariot of the sun with fire.
またユダの王等が日のためにささげてヱホバの家の門における馬をうつせりこの馬はパルリムにある侍從ナタンメレクの室にをりしなり彼また日の車を皆火に焚り
12 And the altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Achaz, which the kings of Juda had made, and the altars which Manasses had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord, did the king pull down and forcibly remove from thence, and cast their dust into the brook of Kedron.
またユダの王等がアハズの桜の屋背につくりたる祭壇とマナセがヱホバの家の兩の庭につくりたる祭壇とは王これを毀ちこれを其處より取くづしてその碎片をキデロン川になげ捨たり
13 And the king defiled the house that was before Jerusalem, on the right hand of the mount of Mosthath, which Solomon king of Israel built to Astarte the abomination of the Sidonians, and to Chamos the abomination of Moab, and to Moloch the abomination of the children of Ammon.
またイスラエルの王ソロモンが昔シドン人の憎むべき者なるアシタロテとモアブ人の憎むべき者なるケモシとアンモンの子孫の憎むべき者なるモロクのためにヱルサレムの前において殲滅山の右に築きたる崇邱も王これを汚し
14 And he broke in pieces the pillars, and utterly destroyed the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.
また諸の像をうち碎きアシラ像をきりたふし人の骨をもてその處々に充せり
15 Also the high altar in Baethel, which Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that high altar he tore down, and broke in pieces the stones of it, and reduced it to powder, and burnt the grove.
またベテルにある壇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が造りし崇邱すなはちその壇もその崇邱も彼これを毀ちその崇邱を焚てこれを粉にうち碎きかつアシラ像を焚り
16 And Josias turned aside, and saw the tombs that were there in the city, and sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burnt them on the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of the Lord which the man of God spoke, when Jeroboam stood by the altar at the feast: and he turned and raised his eyes to the tomb of the man of God that spoke these words.
茲にヨシア身をめぐらして山に墓のあるを見人をやりてその墓より骨をとりきたらしめ之をその壇の上に焚てそれを汚せり即ち神の人が宣たるヱホバの言のごとし昔神の人この言語を宣しことありしなり
17 And he said, What [is] that mound which I see? And the men of the city said to him, [It is the grave of] the man of God that came out of Juda, and uttered these imprecations which he imprecated upon the altar of Baethel.
ヨシアまた其處に見ゆる碑は何なるやと言しに邑の人々これに告て其は汝がベテルの壇にむかひて爲るこの事等をユダより來りて宣たる神の人の墓なりと言ければ
18 And he said, Let him alone; let no one disturb his bones. So his bones were spared, together with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.
すなはち其には手をつくるなかれ誰もその骨を移すなかれと言り是をもてその骨とサマリヤより來りし預言者の骨には手をつけざりき
19 Moreover Josias removed all the houses of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel made to provoke the Lord, and did to them all that he did in Baethel.
またイスラエルの王等がサマリヤの邑々に造りてヱホバを怒せし崇邱の家も皆ヨシアこれを取のぞき凡てそのベテルになせしごとくに之に事をなせり
20 And he sacrificed all the priests of the high places that were there on the altars, and burnt the bones of men upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.
彼また其處にある崇邱の祭司等を壇の上にころし人の骨を壇の上に焚てヱルサレムに歸りぬ
21 And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover to the Lord your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.
而して王一切の民に命じて言ふ汝らこの契約の書に記されたるごとくに汝らの神ヱホバに逾越の節を執行ふべしと
22 For a passover [such as] this had not been kept from the days of the judges who judged Israel, even all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Juda.
士師のイスラエルを治めし日より已來もまたユダの王等とイスラエルの王等の代にも斯のごとき逾越の節を守りしことはなかりしが
23 But in the eighteenth year of king Josias, was the passover kept to the Lord in Jerusalem.
ヨシア王の十八年にいたりてヱルサレムにて斯逾越節をヱホバに守りしなり
24 Moreover Josias removed the sorcerers, and the wizards, and the theraphin, and the idols, and all the abominations that had been set up in the land of Juda and in Jerusalem, that he might keep the words of the law that were written in the book, which Chelcias the priest found in the house of the Lord.
ヨシアまた祭司ヒルキヤがヱホバの家にて見いだせし書に記されたる律法の言を世におこなはんために口寄者と卜筮師とテラピムと偶像およびユダの地とヱルサレムに見ゆる諸の憎むべき者を取のぞけり
25 There was no king like him before him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his strength, according to all the law of Moses; and after him there rose not one like him.
ヨシアの如くに心を盡し精神を盡し力を盡してモーセの法に全くしたがひてヱホに歸向せし王はヨシアの先にはあらざりきまた彼の後にも彼のごとき者はなし
26 Nevertheless the Lord turned not from the fierceness of his great anger, wherewith he was angry in his anger against Juda, because of the provocations, wherewith Manasses provoked him.
斯有しかどもヱホバはユダにむかひて怒を發したるその大いなる燃たつ震怒を息ることをしたまはざりき是はマナセ諸の憤らしき事をもてヱホバを怒らせしによるなり
27 And the Lord said, I will also remove Juda from my presence, as I removed Israel, and will reject this city which I have chosen [even] Jerusalem, and the house [of] which I said, My name shall be there.
ヱホバすなはち言たまはく我イスラエルを移せし如くにユダをもわが目の前より拂ひ移し我が選みし此ヱルサレムの邑と吾名をそこに置んといひしこの殿とを棄べしと
28 And the rest of the acts of Josias, and all that he did, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
ヨシアのその餘の行爲とその凡て爲たる事はユダの王の歴代志の書にしるさるるにあらずや
29 And in his days went up Pharao Nechao king of Egypt against the king of the Assyrians to the river Euphrates: and Josias went out to meet him: and Nechao killed him in Mageddo when he saw him.
ヨシアの代にエジプトの王パロネコ、アッスリヤの王と戰はんとてユフラテ河をさして上り來しがヨシア王これを防がんとて進みゆきければ彼これに出あひてメギドンにこれを殺せり
30 And his servants carried him dead from Mageddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre: and the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and anointed him, and made him king in the room of his father.
その僕等すなはちこれが死骸を車にのせてメギドンよりヱルサレムに持ゆきこれをその墓に葬れり國の民ここに於てヨシアの子ヱホアハズを取りこれに膏をそそぎて王となしてその父にかはらしめたり
31 Twenty and three years old was Joachaz when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Amital, daughter of Jeremias of Lobna.
ヱホアハズは王となれる時二十三歳にしてヱルサレムにて三月世を治めたりその母はリブナのエレミヤの女にして名をハムタルと云ふ
32 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers did.
ヱホアハズはその先祖等が凡てなしたるごとくにヱホバの目の前に惡をなせしが
33 And Pharao Nechao removed him to Rablaam in the land of Emath, so that he should not reign in Jerusalem; and imposed a tribute on the land, a hundred talents of silver, and a hundred talents of gold.
パロネコ彼をハマテの地のリブラに繋ぎおきてヱルサレムにおいて王となりをることを得ざらしめ且銀百タラント金一タラントの罰金を國に課したり
34 And Pharao Nechao made Eliakim son of Josias king of Juda king over them in the place of his father Josias, and he changed his name [to] Joakim, and he took Joachaz and brought him to Egypt, and he died there.
而してパロネコはヨシアの子エリアキムをしてその父ヨシアにかはりて王とならしめ彼の名をヱホヤキムと改めヱホアハズを曳て去ぬヱホアハズはエジプトにいたりて其處に死り
35 And Joakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharao; but he assessed the land to give the money at the command of Pharao: they gave the silver and the gold [each] man according to his assessment together with the people of the land to give to Pharao Nechao.
ヱホヤキムは金銀をパロにおくれり即ち彼國に課してパロの命のままに金を出さしめ國の民各人に割つけて金銀を征取りてこれをパロネコにおくれり
36 Twenty-five years old [was] Joakim when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Jeldaph, daughter of Phadail of Ruma.
ヱホヤキムは二十五歳にして王となりヱルサレムにおいて十一年世を治めたりその母はルマのペダヤの女にして名をゼブタと云ふ
37 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
ヱホヤキムはその先祖等が凡てなしたるごとくにヱホバの目の前に惡をなせり
