< 2 Chronicles 16 >
1 And in the six and thirtieth year of his kingdom, Baasa the king of Israel came up against Juda, and built a wall about Rama, that no one might safely go out or come in of the kingdom of Asa.
アサの治世の三十六年にイスラエルの王バアシヤ、ユダに攻のぼりユダの王アサの所に誰をも往來せざらしめんとてラマを建たり
2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king’s treasures, and sent to Benadad king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying:
是においてアサ、ヱホバの家と王の家との府庫より金銀を取いだしダマスコに住るスリアの王ベネハダデに餽りて言けるは
3 There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father, wherefore I have sent thee silver and gold, that thou mayst break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, and make him depart from me.
我父と汝の父の間の如く我と汝の間に約を立ん視よ我今汝に金銀を餽れり往て汝とイスラエルの王バアシヤとの約を破り彼をして我を離れて去しめよ
4 And then Benadad heard this, he sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel: and they took Ahion, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the walled cities of Nephtali.
ベネハダデすなはちアサ王に聽き自己の軍勢の長等をイスラエルの邑々に攻遣ければ彼等イヨン、ダン、アベルマイムおよびナフタリの一切の府庫の邑々を撃たり
5 And when Baasa heard of it, he left off the building of Rama, and interrupted his work.
バアシヤ聞てラマを建ることを罷めその工事を廢せり
6 Then king Asa took all Juda, and they carried away from Rama the stones, and the timber that Baasa had prepared for the building: and he built with them Gabaa, and Maspha.
是においてアサ王ユダ全國の人を率ゐバアシヤがラマを建るに用ひたる石と材木を運びきたらしめ之をもてゲバとミズパを建たり
7 At that time Hanani the prophet came to Asa king of Juda, and said to him: Because thou hast had confidence in the king of Syria, and not in the Lord thy God, therefore hath the army of the king of Syria escaped out of thy hand.
その頃先見者ハナニ、ユダの王アサの許にいたりて之に言けるは汝はスリアの王に倚賴みて汝の神ヱホバに倚賴まざりしに因てスリア王の軍勢は汝の手を脱せり
8 Were not the Ethiopians, and the Libyans much more numerous in chariots, and horsemen, and an exceeding great multitude: yet because thou trustedst in the Lord, he delivered them into thy hand?
かのエテオピア人とルビ人は大軍にして戰車および騎兵はなはだ多かりしにあらずや然るも汝ヱホバに倚賴みたればヱホバかれらを汝の手に付したまへり
9 For the eyes of the Lord behold all the earth, and give strength to those who with a perfect heart trust in him. Wherefore thou hast done foolishly, and for this cause from this time wars shall arise against thee.
ヱホバは全世界を徧く見そなはし己にむかひて心を全うする者のために力を顯したまふこの事において汝は愚なる事をなせり故に此後は汝に戰爭あるべしと
10 And Asa was angry with the seer, and commanded him to be put in prison: for he was greatly enraged because of this thing: and he put to death many of the people at that time.
然るにアサその先見者を怒りて之を獄舎にいれたり其は烈しくこの事のために彼を怒りたればなりアサまた其頃民を虐げたる事ありき
11 But the works of Asa the first and last are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
アサの始終の行爲はユダとイスラエルの列王の書に記さる
12 And Asa fell sick in the nine and thirtieth year of his reign, of a most violent pain in his feet, and yet in his illness he did not seek the Lord, but rather trusted in the skill of physicians.
アサはその治世の三十九年に足を病みその病患つひに劇しくなりしがその病患の時にもヱホバを求めずして醫師を求めたり
13 And he slept with his fathers: and he died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
アサその先祖等と偕に寝りその治世の四十一年に死り
14 And they buried him in his own sepulchre, which he had made for himself in the city of David: and they laid him on his bed full of spices and odoriferous ointments, which were made by the art of the perfumers, and they burnt them over him with very great pomp.
人衆これをその己のためにダビデの邑に堀おける墓に葬り製香の術をもて製したる種々の香物を盈せる床の上に置き之がために夥多しく焚物をなせり
