2 Kings 23
1 And they brought the king word again what she had said. And he sent: and all the ancients of Juda and Jerusalem were assembled to him.
是において王人をつかはしてユダとヱルサレムの長老をことごとく集め
2 And the king went up to the temple of the Lord, and all the men of Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, the priests and the prophets, and all the people both little and great: and in the hearing of them all he read all the words of the book of the covenant, which was found in the house of the Lord.
而して王ヱホバの家にのぼれりユダの諸の人々ヱルサレムの一切の民および祭司預言者ならびに大小の民みな之にしたがふ王すなはちヱホバの家に見あたりし契約の書の言をことごとくかれらの耳に讀きかせ
3 And the king stood upon the step: and made a covenant with the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies and his ceremonies, with all their heart, and with all their soul, and to perform the words of this covenant, which were written in that book: and the people agreed to the covenant.
而して王高座の上に立てヱホバの前に契約をなしヱホバにしたがひて歩み心をつくし精神をつくしてその誡命と律法と法度を守り此書にしるされたる此契約の言をおこなはんと言り民みなその契約に加はりぬ
4 And the king commanded Helcias the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers, to cast out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that had been made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burnt them without Jerusalem in the valley of Cedron, and he carried the ashes of them to Bethel.
かくして王祭司の長ヒルキヤとその下にたつところの祭司等および門守等に命じてヱホバの家よりしてバアルとアシラと天の衆群との爲に作りたる諸の器と執いださしめヱルサレムの外にてキデロンの野にこれを燒きその灰をベテルに持ゆかしめ
5 And he destroyed the soothsayers, whom the kings of Juda had appointed to sacrifice in the high places in the cities of Juda, and round about Jerusalem: them also that burnt incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to the twelve signs, and to all the host of heaven.
又ユダの王等が立てダの邑々とヱルサレムの四圍なる崇邱に香をたかしめたる祭司等を廢しまたバアルと日月星宿と天の衆群とに香を焚く者等をも廢せり
6 And he caused the grove to be carried out from the house of the Lord without Jerusalem to the valley of Cedron, and he burnt it there, and reduced it to dust, and cast the dust upon the graves of the common people.
彼またヱホバの家よりアシラ像をとりいだしヱルサレムの外に持ゆきてキデロン川にいたりキデロン川においてこれを燒きこれを打碎きて粉となしその粉を民の墓に散し
7 He destroyed also the pavilions of the effeminate, which were in the house of the Lord, for which the women wove as it were little dwellings for the grove.
またヱホバの家の旁にある男娼の家を毀てり其處はまた婦人がアシラのために天幕を織ところなりき
8 And he gathered together all the priests out of the cities of Juda: and he defiled the high places, where the priests offered sacrifice, from Gabaa to Bersabee: and he broke down the altars of the gates that were in the entering in of the gate of Josue governor of tile city, which was on the left hand of the gate of the city.
彼またユダの邑々より祭司をことごとく召よせまた祭司が香をたきたる崇邱をばゲバよりベエルシバまでこれを汚しまた門にある崇邱を毀てり是等の崇邱は一は邑の宰ヨシユアの門の入口にあり一は邑の門にありて之に入る人の左にあたる
9 However the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem: but only ate of the unleavened bread among their brethren.
崇邱の祭司等はエルサレムにおいてヱホバの壇にのぼることをせざりき但し彼等はその兄弟の中にありて無酵パンを食へり
10 And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom: that no man should consecrate there his son or his daughter through fire to Moloch.
王また人がその子息息女に火の中を通らしめて之をモロクにささぐることなからんためにベンヒンノムの谷にあるトペテを汚し
11 And he took away the horses which the kings of Juda had given to the sun, at the entering in of the temple of the Lord, near the chamber of Nathanmelech the eunuch, who was in Pharurim: and he burnt the chariots of the sun with fire.
またユダの王等が日のためにささげてヱホバの家の門における馬をうつせりこの馬はパルリムにある侍從ナタンメレクの室にをりしなり彼また日の車を皆火に焚り
12 And the altars that were upon the top of the upper chamber of Achaz, which the kings of Juda had made, and the altars which Manasses had made in the two courts of the temple of the Lord, the king broke down: and he ran from thence, and cast the ashes of them into the torrent Cedron.
またユダの王等がアハズの桜の屋背につくりたる祭壇とマナセがヱホバの家の兩の庭につくりたる祭壇とは王これを毀ちこれを其處より取くづしてその碎片をキデロン川になげ捨たり
13 The high places also that were at Jerusalem on the right side of the Mount of Offence, O which Solomon king of Israel had built to Astaroth the idol of the Sidonians, and to Chamos the scandal of Moab, and to Melchom the abomination of the children of Ammon, the king defiled.
またイスラエルの王ソロモンが昔シドン人の憎むべき者なるアシタロテとモアブ人の憎むべき者なるケモシとアンモンの子孫の憎むべき者なるモロクのためにヱルサレムの前において殲滅山の右に築きたる崇邱も王これを汚し
14 And he broke in pieces the statues, and cut down the groves: and he filled their places with the bones of dead men.
また諸の像をうち碎きアシラ像をきりたふし人の骨をもてその處々に充せり
15 Moreover the altar also that was at Bethel, and the high place, which Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, had made: both the altar, and the high place he broke down and burnt, and reduced to powder, and burnt the grove.
またベテルにある壇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が造りし崇邱すなはちその壇もその崇邱も彼これを毀ちその崇邱を焚てこれを粉にうち碎きかつアシラ像を焚り
16 And as Josias turned himself, he saw there the sepulchres that were in the mount: and he sent and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burnt them upon the altar, and defiled it according to the word of the Lord, which the man of God spoke, who had foretold these things.
茲にヨシア身をめぐらして山に墓のあるを見人をやりてその墓より骨をとりきたらしめ之をその壇の上に焚てそれを汚せり即ち神の人が宣たるヱホバの言のごとし昔神の人この言語を宣しことありしなり
17 And he said: What is that monument which I see? And the men of that city answered: It is the sepulchre of the man of God, who came from Juda, and foretold these things which thou hast done upon the altar of Bethel.
ヨシアまた其處に見ゆる碑は何なるやと言しに邑の人々これに告て其は汝がベテルの壇にむかひて爲るこの事等をユダより來りて宣たる神の人の墓なりと言ければ
18 And he said: Let him alone, let no man move his bones. So his bones were left untouched with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.
すなはち其には手をつくるなかれ誰もその骨を移すなかれと言り是をもてその骨とサマリヤより來りし預言者の骨には手をつけざりき
19 Moreover all the temples of the high places, which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord, Josias took away: and he did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
またイスラエルの王等がサマリヤの邑々に造りてヱホバを怒せし崇邱の家も皆ヨシアこれを取のぞき凡てそのベテルになせしごとくに之に事をなせり
20 And he slew all the priests of the high places, that were there, upon the altars: and he burnt men’s bones upon them: and returned to Jerusalem.
彼また其處にある崇邱の祭司等を壇の上にころし人の骨を壇の上に焚てヱルサレムに歸りぬ
21 And he commanded all the people, saying: Keep the phase to the Lord your God, according as it is written in the book of this covenant.
而して王一切の民に命じて言ふ汝らこの契約の書に記されたるごとくに汝らの神ヱホバに逾越の節を執行ふべしと
22 Now there was no such a phase kept from the days of the judges, who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Juda,
士師のイスラエルを治めし日より已來もまたユダの王等とイスラエルの王等の代にも斯のごとき逾越の節を守りしことはなかりしが
23 As was this phase that was kept to the Lord in Jerusalem, in the eighteenth year of king Josias.
ヨシア王の十八年にいたりてヱルサレムにて斯逾越節をヱホバに守りしなり
24 Moreover the diviners by spirits, and soothsayers, and the figures of idols, and the uncleannesses, and the abominations, that had been in the land of Juda, and Jerusalem, Josias took away: that he might perform the words of the law, that were written in the book which Helcias the priest had found in the temple of the Lord.
ヨシアまた祭司ヒルキヤがヱホバの家にて見いだせし書に記されたる律法の言を世におこなはんために口寄者と卜筮師とテラピムと偶像およびユダの地とヱルサレムに見ゆる諸の憎むべき者を取のぞけり
25 There was no king before him like unto him, that returned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with ail his strength, according to all the law of Moses: neither after him did there arise any like him.
ヨシアの如くに心を盡し精神を盡し力を盡してモーセの法に全くしたがひてヱホに歸向せし王はヨシアの先にはあらざりきまた彼の後にも彼のごとき者はなし
26 But yet the Lord turned not away from the wrath of his great indignation, wherewith his anger was kindled against Juda: because of the provocations, wherewith Manasses had provoked him.
斯有しかどもヱホバはユダにむかひて怒を發したるその大いなる燃たつ震怒を息ることをしたまはざりき是はマナセ諸の憤らしき事をもてヱホバを怒らせしによるなり
27 And the Lord said: I will remove Juda also from before my face, as I have removed Israel: and I will cast off this city Jerusalem, which I chose, and the house, of which I said: My name shall be there.
ヱホバすなはち言たまはく我イスラエルを移せし如くにユダをもわが目の前より拂ひ移し我が選みし此ヱルサレムの邑と吾名をそこに置んといひしこの殿とを棄べしと
28 Now the rest of the acts of Josias, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
ヨシアのその餘の行爲とその凡て爲たる事はユダの王の歴代志の書にしるさるるにあらずや
29 In his days Pharao Nechao king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josias went to meet him: and was slain at Mageddo, when he had seen him.
ヨシアの代にエジプトの王パロネコ、アッスリヤの王と戰はんとてユフラテ河をさして上り來しがヨシア王これを防がんとて進みゆきければ彼これに出あひてメギドンにこれを殺せり
30 And his servants carried him dead from Mageddo: and they brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in Iris own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias: and they anointed him, and made him king in his father’s stead.
その僕等すなはちこれが死骸を車にのせてメギドンよりヱルサレムに持ゆきこれをその墓に葬れり國の民ここに於てヨシアの子ヱホアハズを取りこれに膏をそそぎて王となしてその父にかはらしめたり
31 Joachaz was three and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Amital, the daughter of Jeremias of Lobna.
ヱホアハズは王となれる時二十三歳にしてヱルサレムにて三月世を治めたりその母はリブナのエレミヤの女にして名をハムタルと云ふ
32 And he did evil before the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
ヱホアハズはその先祖等が凡てなしたるごとくにヱホバの目の前に惡をなせしが
33 And Pharao Nechao bound him at Rebla, which is in the land of Emath, that he should not reign in Jerusalem: and he set a fine upon the land, of a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
パロネコ彼をハマテの地のリブラに繋ぎおきてヱルサレムにおいて王となりをることを得ざらしめ且銀百タラント金一タラントの罰金を國に課したり
34 And Pharao Nechao made Eliacim the son of Josias king in the room of Josias his father: and turned his name to Joakim. And he took Joachaz away and carried him into Egypt, and he died there.
而してパロネコはヨシアの子エリアキムをしてその父ヨシアにかはりて王とならしめ彼の名をヱホヤキムと改めヱホアハズを曳て去ぬヱホアハズはエジプトにいたりて其處に死り
35 And Joakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharao, after he had taxed the land for every man, to contribute according to the commandment of Pharao: and he exacted both the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every man according to his ability: to give to Pharao Nechao.
ヱホヤキムは金銀をパロにおくれり即ち彼國に課してパロの命のままに金を出さしめ國の民各人に割つけて金銀を征取りてこれをパロネコにおくれり
36 Joakim was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Zebida the daughter of Phadaia of Ruma.
ヱホヤキムは二十五歳にして王となりヱルサレムにおいて十一年世を治めたりその母はルマのペダヤの女にして名をゼブタと云ふ
37 And he did evil before the Lord according to all that his fathers had done.
ヱホヤキムはその先祖等が凡てなしたるごとくにヱホバの目の前に惡をなせり
