< 1 Kings 13 >
1 And behold there came a man of God out of Juda, by the word of the Lord to Bethel, when Jeroboam was standing upon the altar, and burning incense.
視よ爰に神の人ヱホバの言に由てユダよりベテルに來れり時にヤラベアムは壇の上に立て香を焚ゐたり
2 And he cried out against the altar in the word of the Lord, and said: O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord: Behold a child shall be born to the house of David, Josias by name, and he shall immolate upon thee the priests of the high places, who now burn incense upon thee, and he shall burn men’s bones upon thee.
神の人乃ちヱホバの言を以て壇に向ひて呼はり言けるは壇よ壇よヱホバ斯言たまふ視よダビデの家にヨシアと名くる一人の子生るべし彼爾の上に香を焚く所の崇邱の祭司を爾の上に献げん且人の骨爾の上に燒れんと
3 And he gave a sign the same day, saying: This shall be the sign, that the Lord hath spoken: Behold the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.
是日彼異蹟を示して言けるは是はヱホバの言たまへる事の異蹟なり視よ壇は裂け其上にある灰は傾出んと
4 And when the king had heard the word of the man of God, which he had cried out against the altar in Bethel, he stretched forth his hand from the altar, saying: Lay hold on him. And his hand which he stretched forth against him withered: and he was not able to draw it back again to him.
ヤラベアム王神の人がベテルにある壇に向ひて呼はりたる言を聞る時其手を壇より伸し彼を執へよと言けるが其彼に向ひて伸したる手枯て再び屈縮ることを得ざりき
5 The altar also was rent, and the ashes were poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given before in the word of the Lord.
しかして神の人がヱホバの言を以て示したる異蹟の如く壇は裂け灰は壇より傾出たり
6 And the king said to the man of God: Entreat the face of the Lord thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me. And the man of God besought the face of the Lord, and the king’s hand was restored to him, and it became as it was before.
王答て神の人に言けるは請ふ爾の神ヱホバの面を和めわが爲に祈りてわが手を本に復しめよ神の人乃ちヱホバの面を和めければ王の手本に復りて前のごとくに成り
7 And the king said to the man of God: Come home with me to dine, and I will make thee presents.
是において王神の人に言けるは我と與に家に來りて身を息めよ我爾に禮物を與へんと
8 And the man of God answered the king: If thou wouldst give me half thy house I will not go with thee, nor eat bread, nor drink water in this place:
神の人王に言けるは爾假令爾の家の半を我に與ふるも我は爾とともに入じ又此所にてパンを食ず水を飮ざるべし
9 For so it was enjoined me by the word of the Lord commanding me: Thou shalt not eat bread nor drink water, nor return by the same way that thou camest.
其はヱホバの言我にパンを食ふなかれ水を飮なかれ又爾が往る途より歸るなかれと命じたればなりと
10 So he departed by another way, and returned not by the way that he came into Bethel.
斯彼他途を往き自己がベテルに來れる途よりは歸らざりき
11 Now a certain old prophet dwelt in Bethel, and his sons came to him and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: and they told their father the words which he had spoken to the king.
爰にベテルに一人の老たる預言者住ゐたりしが其子等來りて是日神の人がベテルにて爲たる諸事を彼に宣たり亦神の人の王に言たる言をも其父に宣たり
12 And their father said to them: What way went he? His sons shewed him the way by which the man of God went, who came out of Juda.
其父彼等に彼は何の途を往しやといふ其子等ユダより來りし神の人の往たる途を見たればなり
13 And he said to his sons: Saddle me the ass. And when they had saddled him, he got up,
彼其子等に言けるは我ために驢馬に鞍おけと彼等驢馬に鞍おきければ彼之に乗り
14 And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under a turpentine tree: and he said to him: Art thou the man of God that camest from Juda? He answered: I am.
神の人の後に往きて橡の樹の下に坐するを見之にいひけるは汝はユダより來れる神の人なるか其人然りと言ふ
15 And he said to him: Come home with me, to eat bread.
彼其人にいひけるは我と偕に家に往てパンを食へ
16 But he said: I must not return, nor go with thee, neither will I eat bread, nor drink water in this place:
其人いふ我は汝と偕に歸る能はず汝と偕に入あたはず又我は此處にて爾と偕にパンを食ず水を飮じ
17 Because the Lord spoke to me in the word of the Lord, saying: Thou shalt not eat bread, and thou shalt not drink water there, nor return by the way thou wentest.
其はヱホバの言我に爾彼處にてパンを食ふなかれ水を飮なかれ又爾が至れる所の途より歸り往なかれと言たればなりと
18 He said to him: I also am a prophet like unto thee: and an angel spoke to me in the word of the Lord, saying: Bring him back with thee into thy house, that he may eat bread, and drink water. He deceived him,
彼其人にいひけるは我も亦爾の如く預言者なるが天の使ヱホバの言を以て我に告て彼を爾と偕に爾の家に携かへり彼にパンを食はしめ水を飮しめよといへりと是其人を誑けるなり
19 And brought him back with him: so he ate bread and drank water in his house.
是において其人彼と偕に歸り其家にてパンを食ひ水を飮り
20 And as they sat at table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet that brought him back:
彼等が席に坐せし時ヱホバの言其人を携歸し預言者に臨みければ
21 And he cried out to the man of God who came out of Juda, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Because thou hast not been obedient to the Lord, and hast not kept the commandment which the Lord thy God commanded thee,
彼ユダより來れる神の人に向ひて呼はり言けるはヱホバ斯言たまふ爾ヱホバの口に違き爾の神ヱホバの爾に命じたまひし命令を守らずして歸り
22 And hast returned and eaten bread, and drunk water in the place wherein he commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat bread, nor drink water, thy dead body shall not be brought into the sepulchre of thy fathers.
ヱホバの爾にパンを食ふなかれ水を飮なかれと言たまひし處にてパンを食ひ水を飮たれば爾の屍は爾の父祖の墓に至らざるべしと
23 And when he had eaten and drunk, he saddled his ass for the prophet, whom he had brought back.
其人のパンを食ひ水を飮し後彼其人のため即ち己が携歸りたる預言者のために驢馬に鞍おけり
24 And when he was gone, a lion found him in the way, and killed him, and his body was cast in the way: and the ass stood by him, and the lion stood by the dead body.
斯て其人往けるが獅子途にて之に遇ひて之を殺せり而して其屍は途に棄られ驢馬は其傍に立ち獅子も亦其屍の側に立り
25 And behold, men passing by saw the dead body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body. And they came and told it in the city, wherein that old prophet dwelt.
人々經過て途に棄られたる屍と其屍の側に立る獅子を見て來り彼老たる預言者の住る邑にて語れり
26 And when that prophet, who had brought him back out of the way, heard of it, he said: It is the man of God, that was disobedient to the mouth of the Lord, and the Lord hath delivered him to the lion, and he hath torn him, and killed him according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke to him.
彼人を途より携歸りたる預言者聞て言けるは其はヱホバの口に違きたる神の人なりヱホバの彼に言たまひし言の如くヱホバ彼を獅子に付したまひて獅子彼を裂き殺せりと
27 And he said to his sons: Saddle me an ass. And when they had saddled it,
しかして其子等に語りて言けるは我ために驢馬に鞍おけと彼等鞍おきければ
28 And he was gone, he found the dead body cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcass: the lion had not eaten of the dead body, nor hurt the ass.
彼往て其屍の途に棄られ驢馬と獅子の其屍の傍に立るを見たり獅子は屍を食はず驢馬をも裂ざりき
29 And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and going back brought it into the city of the old prophet, to mourn for him.
預言者乃ち神の人の屍を取あげて之を驢馬に載せて携歸れりしかして其老たる預言者邑に入り哀哭みて之を葬れり
30 And he laid his dead body in his own sepulchre: and they mourned over him, saying: Alas! alas! my brother.
即ち其屍を自己の墓に置め皆之がために嗚呼わが兄弟よといひて哀哭り
31 And when they had mourned over him, he said to his sons: When I am dead, bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried: lay my bones beside his bones.
彼人を葬りし後彼其子等に語りて言けるは我が死たる時は神の人を葬りたる墓に我を葬りわが骨を彼の骨の側に置めよ
32 For assuredly the word shall come to pass which he hath foretold in the word of the Lord against the altar that is in Bethel: and against all the temples of the high places, that are in the cities of Samaria.
其は彼がヱホバの言を以てベテルにある壇にむかひ又サマリアの諸邑に在る崇邱の凡の家に向ひて呼はりたる言は必ず成べければなり
33 After these words Jeroboam came not back from his wicked way: but on the contrary he made of the meanest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he filled his hand, and he was made a priest of the high places.
斯事の後ヤラベアム其惡き途を離れ歸ずして復凡の民を崇邱の祭司と爲り即ち誰にても好む者は之を立てければ其人は崇邱の祭司と爲り
34 And for this cause did the house of Jeroboam sin, and was cut off and destroyed from the face of the earth.
此事ヤラベアムの家の罪戻となりて遂に之をして地の表面より消失せ滅亡に至らしむ
