2 Chronicles 11
1 And Roboam came to Jerusalem, and called together all the house of Juda and of Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men and warriors, to fight against Israel, and to bring back his kingdom to him.
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 And the word of the Lord came to Semeias the man of God, saying:
ヱホバの言神の人シマヤに臨みて云ふ
3 Speak to Roboam the son of Solomon the king of Juda, and to all Israel, in Juda 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 Thus saith the Lord: You shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: let every man return to his own house, for by my will this thing has been done. And when they heard the word of the Lord, they returned, and did not go 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 And Roboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built walled cities in Juda.
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 And he built Bethlehem, and Etam, and Thecue,
即ちその建たる者はベテレヘム、エタム、テコア
7 And Bethsur, and Socho, and Odollam,
ベテズル｀シヨコ、アドラム
8 And Geth, and Maresa, and Ziph,
ガテ、マレシヤ、ジフ
9 And Aduram, and Lachis, and Azecha,
アドライム、ラキシ、アゼカ
10 Saraa also, and Aialon, and Hebron, which are in Juda and Benjamin, well fenced cities.
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 when he had enclosed them with walls, he put in them governors and storehouses of provisions, that is, of oil and of 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 Moreover in every city he made an armoury of shields and spears, and he fortified them with great diligence, and he reigned over Juda, and Benjamin,
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, that were in all Israel, came to him out of all their seats,
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 Leaving their suburbs, and their possessions, and passing over to Juda, and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off, from executing the priestly office 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 made to himself priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves 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 Moreover out of all the tribes of Israel, whosoever gave their heart to seek the Lord the God of Israel, came into Jerusalem to sacrifice their victims before 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 And they strengthened the kingdom of Juda, and established Roboam the son of Solomon for three years: for they walked in the ways of David and of Solomon, only three years.
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 Roboam took to wife Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David: and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Isai.
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 they bore him sons Jehus, and Somorias, and Zoom.
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 married Maacha the daughter of Absalom, who bore him Abia and Ethai, and Ziza, and Salomith.
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 And Roboam loved Maacha the daughter of Absalom above all his wives, and concubines: for he had married eighteen wives, and threescore concubines: and he beget eight and twenty sons, and threescore 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 But he put at the head of them Abia the son of Maacha to be the chief ruler over all his brethren: for he meant 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 Because he was wiser and mightier than all his sons, and in all the countries of Juda, and of Benjamin, and in all the walled cities: and he gave them provisions in abundance, and he sought many wives.
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
