2 Chronicles 14
1 And Abia 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 that which was good and pleasing in the sight of his God, and he destroyed the altars of foreign worship, and the high places.
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 broke the statues, and cut down the groves.
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 he commanded Juda to seek the Lord the God of their fathers, and to do the law, and all the commandments.
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 took away out of all the cities of Juda the altars, and temples, and reigned in peace.
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 He built also strong cities in Juda, for he was quiet, and there had no wars risen in his time, the Lord giving peace.
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 Juda: Let us build these cities, and compass them with walls, and fortify them with towers, and gates, and bars, while all is quiet from wars, because we have sought the Lord the God of our fathers, and he hath given us peace round about. So they built, and there was no hinderance in building.
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 in his army of men that bore shields and spears of Juda three hundred thousand, and of Benjamin that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred and eighty thousand, all these were most valiant men.
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 Zara the Ethiopian came out against them with his army of ten hundred thousand men, and with three hundred chariots: and he came as far as Maresa.
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 to meet him, and set his army in array for battle in the vale of Sephata, which is near Maresa:
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 he called upon the Lord God, and said: O Lord, there is no difference with thee, whether thou help with few, or with many: help us, O Lord our God: for with confidence in thee, and in thy name, we are come against this multitude. O Lord 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 the Lord terrified the Ethiopians before Asa and Juda: 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 Gerara: and the Ethiopians fell even to utter destruction, for the Lord slew them, and his army fought against them, and they were destroyed. And they took abundance of spoils,
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 took all the cities round about Gerara: for a great fear was come upon all men: and they pillaged the cities, and carried off much booty.
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 And they destroyed the sheepcotes, and took an infinite number of cattle, and of camels: 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
