2 Kings 10
1 And Achab had seventy sons in Samaria: so Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, to the chief men of the city, and to the ancients, and to them that brought up Achab’s children, saying:
アハブ、サマリヤに七十人の子あり茲にヱヒウ書をしたためてサマリヤにおくり邑の牧伯等と長老等とアハブの子等の師傳等とに傳へて云ふ
2 As soon as you receive these letters, ye that have your master’s sons, and chariots, and horses, and fenced cities, and armour,
汝らの主の子等汝らとともにあり又汝等は車も馬も城もあり且武器もあれば此書汝らの許にいたらば
3 Choose the best, and him that shall please you most of your master’s sons, and set him on his father’s throne, and fight for the house of your master.
汝らの主の子等の中より最も優れる方正き者を選みだ出してその父の位に置ゑ汝等の主の家のために戰へよ
4 But they were exceedingly afraid, and said: Behold two kings could not stand before him, and how shall we be able to resist?
彼ら大に恐れて言ふ二人の王等すでに彼に當ることを得ざりしなれば我儕いかでか當ることを得んと
5 Therefore the overseers of the house, and the rulers of the city, and the ancients, and the tutors sent to Jehu, saying: We are thy servants, whatsoever thou shalt command us we will do, neither will we make us a king: do thou all that pleaseth thee.
乃ち家宰邑宰長老師傳等ヱヒウに言おくりけるは我儕は汝の僕なり凡て汝が我儕に命ずる事を爲ん我儕は王を立るを好まず汝の目に善と見ゆる所を爲せ
6 And he wrote letters the second time to them, saying: If you be mine, and will obey me, take the heads of the sons of your master, and come to me to Jezrahel by tomorrow this time. Now the king’s sons, being seventy men, were brought up with the chief men of the city.
是においてヱヒウ再度かれらに書をおくりて云ふ汝らもし我に與き我言にしたがふならば汝らの主の子なる人々の首をとりて明日の今頃ヱズレルにきたりて吾許にいたれと當時王の子七十人はその師傳なる邑の貴人等とともに居る
7 And when the letters came to them, they took the king’s sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezrahel.
その書かれらに至りしかば彼等王の子等をとらへてその七十人をことごとく殺しその首を籃につめてこれをヱズレルのヱヒウの許につかはせり
8 And a messenger came, and told him, saying: They have brought the heads of the king’s sons. And he said: Lay ye them in two heaps by the entering in of the gate until the morning.
すなはち使者いたりてヱヒウに告て人衆王の子等の首をたづさへ來れりと言ければ明朝までそれを門の入口に二山に積おけと言り
9 And when it was light, he went out, and standing said to all the people: You are just: if I conspired against my master, and slew him, who hath slain all these?
朝におよび彼出て立ちすべての民に言ふ汝等は義し我はわが主にそむきて之を弑したり然ど此すべての者等を殺せしは誰なるぞや
10 See therefore now that there hath not fallen to the ground any of the words of the Lord, which the Lord spoke concerning the house of Achab, and the Lord hath done that which he spoke in the hand of his servant Elias.
然ば汝等知れヱホバがアハブの家につきて告たまひしヱホバの言は一も地に隕ず即ちヱホバはその僕エリヤによりて告し事を成たまへりと
11 So Jehu slew all that were left of the house of Achab in Jezrahel, and all his chief men, and his friends, and his priests, till there were no remains left of him.
斯てヱヒウはアハブの家に屬する者のヱズレルに遺れるを盡く殺しまたその一切の重立たる者その親き者およびその祭司等を殺して彼に屬する者を一人も遺さざりき
12 And he arose, and went to Samaria: and when he was come to the shepherds’ cabin in the way,
ヱヒウすなはち起て往てサマリヤに至りしがヱヒウ途にある時牧者の集會所において
13 He met with the brethren of Ochozias king of Juda, and he said to them: Who are you? And they answered: We are the brethren of Ochozias, and are come down to salute the sons of the king, and the sons of the queen.
ユダの王アハジアの兄弟等に遇ひ汝等は何人なるやと言けるに我儕はアハジアの兄弟なるが王の子等と王母の子等の安否を問んとて下るなりと答へたれば
14 And he said: Take them alive. And they took them alive, and killed them at the pit by the cabin, two and forty men, and he left not any of them.
彼等を生擒れと言り即ちかれらを生擒りその集會所の穴の側にて彼等四十二人を盡く殺し一人をも遺さざりき
15 And when he was departed thence, he found Jonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him, and he blessed him. And he said to him: Is thy heart right as my heart is with thy heart? And Jonadab said: It is. If it be, said he, give me thy hand. He gave him his hand. And he lifted him up to him into the chariot,
斯てヱヒウ其處より進みゆきしがレカブの子ヨナダブの己を迎にきたるに遭ければその安否をとふてこれに汝の心はわが心の汝の心と同一なるがごとくに眞實なるやと言けるにヨナダブ答へて眞實なりと言たれば然ば汝の手を我に伸よと言ひその手を伸ければ彼を挽て己の車に登らしめて
16 And he said to him: Come with me, and see my zeal for the Lord. So he made him ride in his chariot,
言ふ我とともに來りて我がヱホバに熱心なるを見よと斯かれを己の車に乗しめ
17 And brought him into Samaria. And he slew all that were left of Achab in Samaria, to a man, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by Elias.
サマリヤにいたりてアハブに屬する者のサマリヤに遺れるを盡く殺して遂にその一族を滅せりヱホバのエリヤに告たまひし言語のごとし
18 And Jehu gathered together all the people, and said to them: Achab worshipped Baal a little, but I will worship him more.
茲にヱヒウ民をことごとく集てこれに言けるはアハブは少くバアルに事たるがヱヒウは大にこれに事へんとす
19 Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, and all his servants, and all his priests: let none be wanting, for I have a great sacrifice to offer to Baal: whosoever shall be wanting shall not live. Now Jehu did this craftily, that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.
然ば今バアルの諸の預言者諸の臣僕諸の祭司等を我許に召せ一人も來らざる者なからしめよ我大なる祭祀をバアルのためになさんとするなり凡て來らざる者は生しおかじと但しヱヒウ、バアルの僕等を滅さんとて偽りて斯なせるなり
20 And he said: Proclaim a festival for Baal. And he called,
ヱヒウすなはちバアルの祭禮を設よと言ければ之を宣たり
21 And he sent into all the borders of Israel, and all the servants of Baal came: there was not one left that did not come. And they went into the temple of Baal: and the house of Baal was filled, from one end to the other.
是てヱヒウあまねくイスラエルに人をつかはしたればバアルの僕たる者皆きたれり一人も來らずして遺れるものはあらざりき彼等バアルの家にいりたればバアルの家は末より末まで充わたれり
22 And he said to them that were over the wardrobe: Bring forth garments for all the servants of Baal. And they brought them forth garments.
時にヱヒウ衣裳を掌どる者てむかひ禮服をとりいだしてバアルの凡の僕等にあたへよといひければすなはち禮服をとりいだせり
23 And Jehu and Jonadab the son of Rechab went to the temple of Baal, and said to the worshippers of Baal: Search, and see that there be not any with you of the servants of the Lord, but that there be the servants of Baal only.
斯ありてヱヒウはレカブの子ヨナダブとともにバアルの家にいりしがバアルの僕等に言ふ汝等尋ね見て此には只バアルの僕のみあらしめヱホバの僕を一人も汝らの中にあらしめざれと
24 And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings: but Jehu had prepared him fourscore men without, and said to them: If any of the men escape, whom I have brought into your hands, he that letteth him go shall answer life for life.
彼等犠牲と燔祭を献げんとて入し時ヱヒウ八十人の者を外に置て言ふ凡てわがその手にわたすところの人を一人にても逃れしむる者は己の生命をもてその人の生命に代べしと
25 And it came to pass, when the burnt offering was ended, that Jehu commanded his soldiers and captains, saying: Go in, and kill them, let none escape. And the soldiers and captains slew them with the edge of the sword, and cast them out: and they went into the city of the temple of Baal,
期て燔祭を献ぐることの終りし時ヱヒウその士卒と諸將に言ふ入てかれらを殺せ一人をも出すなかれとすなはち刃をもて彼等を撃ころせり而して士卒と諸將これを投いだしてバアルの家の内殿に入り
26 And brought the statue out of Baal’s temple, and burnt it,
諸の像をバアルの家よりとりいだしてこれを燒り
27 And broke it in pieces. They destroyed also the temple of Baal, and made a jakes in its place unto this day.
即ちかれらバアルの像をこぼちバアルの家をこぼち其をもて厠を造りしが今日までのこる
28 So Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel:
ヱヒウかくイスラエルの中よりバアルを絶さりたりしかども
29 But yet he departed not from the sills of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, nor did he forsake the golden calves that were in Bethel and Dan.
ヱヒウは尚かのイスラエルに罪を犯させたるネバテの子ヤラベアムの罪に離るることをせざりき即ち彼なほベテルとダンにあるところの金の犢に事たり
30 And the Lord said to Jehu: Because thou hast diligently executed that which was right and pleasing in my eyes, and hast done to the house of Achab according to all that was in my heart: thy children shall sit upon the throne of Israel to the fourth Generation.
ヱホバ、ヱヒウに言たまひけらく汝わが義と視るところの事を行ふにあたりて善く事をなしまたわが心にある諸の事をアハブの家になしたれば汝の子孫は四代までイスラエルの位に坐せんと
31 But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord the God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, who had made Israel to sin.
然るにヱヒウは心を盡してイスラエルの神ヱホバの律法をおこなはんとはせず尚かのイスラエルに罪を犯させたるヤラベアムの罪に離れざりき
32 In those days the Lord began to he weary of Israel: and Hazael ravaged them in all the coasts of Israel,
是時にあたりてヱホバ、イスラエルを割くことを始めたまへりハザエルすなはちイスラエルの一切の邊境を侵し
33 From the Jordan eastward, all the land of Galaad, and Gad, and Ruben, and Manasses, from Aroer, which is upon the torrent Amen, and Galaad, and Basan.
ヨルダンの東においてギレアデの全地ガド人ルベン人マナセ人の地を侵しアルノン河の邊なるアロエルよりギレアデにいたりバシヤンにおよべり
34 But the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and his strength, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
ヱヒウのその餘の行爲とその凡て爲たる事むよびその大なる能はイスラエルの王の歴代志の書に記さるるにあらずや
35 And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria: and Joachaz his son reigned in his stead.
ヱヒウその先祖等とともに寝りたればこれをサマリヤに葬りぬその子ヱホアハズこれに代て王となれり
36 And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel, in Samaria, was eight and twenty years.
ヱヒウがサマリヤにをりてイスラエルに王たりし間は二十八年なりき
