2 Chronicles 14
1 And Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years.
アビヤその先祖等とともに寝りてダビデの邑に葬られその子アサこれに代りて王となれりアサの代になりて其國十年の間平穩なりき
2 And Asa did what was good and right in the sight of Jehovah his God;
アサはその神ヱホバの目に善と視正義と視たまふ事を行へり
3 and he took away the altars of the strange [gods] and the high places, and broke the columns, and cut down the Asherahs;
即ち異なる祭壇を取のぞき諸の崇邱を毀ち柱像を打碎きアシラ像を斫倒し
4 and commanded Judah to seek Jehovah the God of their fathers, and to practise the law and the commandment.
ユダに命じてその先祖等の神ヱホバを求めしめその律法と誡命を行はしめ
5 And he removed out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun-images; and the kingdom was quiet before him.
ユダの一切の邑々より崇邱と日の像とを取除けり而して國は彼の前に平穩なりき
6 And he built fortified cities in Judah, for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because Jehovah had given him rest.
彼また守衛の邑數箇をユダに建たり是はその國平安を得て此年頃戰爭なかりしに因る即ちヱホバ彼に安息を賜ひしなり
7 And he said to Judah, Let us build these cities, and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars, while the land is yet before us; for we have sought Jehovah our God; we have sought him, and he has given us rest on every side. And they built and prospered.
彼すなはちユダに言けるは我儕是等の邑を建てその四周に石垣を築き戌樓を起し門と門閂とを設けん我儕の神ヱホバを我儕求めしに因て此國なほ我儕の前にあり我ら彼を求めたれば四方において我らに平安を賜へりと斯彼ら阻滞なく之を建了たり
8 And Asa had an army that bore targets and spears: out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew the bow, two hundred and eighty thousand: all these, mighty men of valour.
アサの軍勢はユダより出たる者三十萬ありて楯と戈とを執りベニヤミンより出たる者二十八萬ありて小楯を執り弓を彎く是みな大勇士なり
9 And Zerah the Ethiopian came out against him with a host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots, and he came to Mareshah.
茲にエテオピア人ゼラ軍勢百萬人戰車三百輌を率ゐて攻きたりマレシヤに至りければ
10 And Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah near Mareshah.
アサこれにむかひて進み出で共にマレシヤのゼパタの谷において戰爭の陣列を立つ
11 And Asa cried unto Jehovah his God, and said, Jehovah, it maketh no difference to thee to help, whether there be much or no power: help us, O Jehovah our God, for we rely on thee, and in thy name have we come against this multitude. Jehovah, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.
時にアサその神ヱホバにむかひて呼はりて言ふヱホバよ力ある者を助くるも力なき者を助くるも汝においては異ること無し我らの神ヱホバよ我らを助けたまへ我らは汝に倚賴み汝の名に託りて往て此群集に敵るヱホバよ汝は我らの神にましませり人をして汝に勝せたまふ勿れと
12 And Jehovah smote the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.
ヱホバすなはちアサの前とユダの前においてエテオピア人を撃敗りたまひしかばエテオピア人逃はしりけるに
13 And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them to Gerar; and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that none of them was left alive; for they were crushed before Jehovah and before his army. And they carried away very much spoil.
アサと之に從がふ民かれらをゲラルまで追撃り斯エテオピア人は倒れて再び振ふことを得ざりき其は彼等ヱホバとその軍旅に打敗られたればなりユダの人々の得たる掠取物は甚だ多りき
14 And they smote all the cities round about Gerar, for the terror of Jehovah came upon them; and they spoiled all the cities, for there was very much spoil in them.
かれらはまたゲラルの四周の邑々を盡く撃やぶれり是その邑々ヱホバを畏れたればなり是において彼らその一切の邑より物を掠めたりしがその中より得たる掠取物は夥多かりき
15 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
また家畜のをる天幕を襲ふて羊と駱駝を多く奪ひ取り而してヱルサレムに歸りぬ
