2 Kings 3
1 And Joram the son of Achab reigned over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Josaphat king of Juda. And he reigned twelve years.
ユダの王ヨシヤパテの十八年にアハブの子ヨラム、サマリヤにありてイスラエルを治め十二年位にありき
2 And he did evil before the Lord, but not like his father and his mother: for he took away the statues of Baal, which his father had made.
かれはヱホバの目のまへに惡をなせしかどもその父母の如くはあらざりきそは彼その父の造りしバアルの像を除きたればなり
3 Nevertheless he stuck to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, nor did he depart from them.
されど彼は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を行ひつづけて之をはなれざりき
4 Now Mesa, king of Moab, nourished many sheep, and he paid to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams with their fleeces.
モアブの王メシヤは羊を有つ者にして十萬の羔と十萬の牡羊の毛とをイスラエルの王に納めをりしが
5 And when Achab was dead, he broke the league which he had made with the king of Israel.
アハブの死しのちモアブの王はイスラエルの王にそむけり
6 And king Joram went out that day from Samaria, and mustered all Israel.
是に於てヨラム王其時サマリヤを出てイスラエル人をことごとく集め
7 And he sent to Josaphat king of Juda, saying: The king of Moab is revolted from me, come with me against him to battle. And he answered: I will come up: he that is mine, is thine: my people, thy people: and my horses, thy horses.
また往て人をユダの王ヨシヤパテに遣していはしむモアブの王われに背けり汝われとともにモアブに攻ゆくやと彼いひけるは我上らん我は汝の如くわが民はなんぢの民のごとくまたわが馬は汝の馬の如しと
8 And he said: Which way shall we go up? But he answered: By the desert of Edom.
ヨラムいひけるは我儕いづれの路より上らんかかれいふエドムの曠野の途よりせんと
9 So the king of Israel, and the king of Juda, and the king of Edom went, and they fetched a compass of seven days’ journey, and there was no water for the army, and for the beasts, that followed them.
イスラエルの王すなはちユダの王およびエドムの王と共に出ゆきけるが行めぐること七日路にして軍勢とこれにしたがふ家畜の飮むべき水なかりしかば
10 And the king of Israel said: Alas, alas, alas, the Lord hath gathered us three kings together, to deliver us into the hands of Moab!
イスラエルの王いひけるは嗚呼ヱホバこの三人の王をモアブの手にわたさんと召し集めたまへりと
11 And Josaphat said: Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may beseech the Lord by him? And one of the servants of the king of Israel answered: Here is Eliseus the son of Saphat, who poured water on the hands of Elias.
ヨシヤバテいひけるは我儕が由てヱホバに問ふべきヱホバの預言者此にあらざるやとイスラエルの王の臣僕の一人答へていふエリヤの手に水をそそぎたるシヤパテの子エリシヤ此にあり
12 And Josaphat said: The word of the Lord is with him. And the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, and the king of Edom went down to him.
ヨシヤパテいひけるはヱホバの言彼にありとかくてイスラエルの王およびヨシヤパテとエドムの王かれの許に下りゆきけるに
13 And Eliseus said to the king of Israel: What have I to do with thee? go to the prophets of thy father, and thy mother. And the king of Israel said to him: Why hath the Lord gathered together these three kings, to deliver them into the hands of Moab?
エリシヤ、イスラエルの王に言けるはわれ汝と何の干與あらんや汝の父の預言者と汝の母の預言者の所にゆくべしとイスラエルの王かれにいひけるは然ずそはヱホバこの三人の王をモアブの手に付さんとて召集めたまへばなり
14 And Eliseus said to him: As the Lord of hosts liveth, in whose sight I stand, if I did not reverence the face of Josaphat king of Juda, I would not have hearkened to thee, nor looked on thee.
エリシヤ言けるはわが事ふる萬軍のヱホバは活く我ユダの王ヨシヤパテのためにするにあらすばかならず汝を顧みず汝を見ざらんものを
15 But now bring me hither a minstrel. And when the minstrel played, the hand of the Lord came upon him, and he said:
今樂人をわれにつれ來れと而して樂人の樂をなすにおよびてヱホバの手かれに臨みて
16 Thus saith the Lord: Make the channel of this torrent full of ditches.
彼いひけるはヱホバかくいひたまふ此谷に許多の溝を設けよ
17 For thus saith the Lord: You shall not see wind, nor rain: and yet this channel shall be filled with waters, and you shall drink, you and your families, and your beasts.
それヱホバかく言ひたまふ汝ら風を見ず雨をも見ざるに此谷に水盈て汝等と汝等の家畜および汝らの獣飮ことを得ん
18 And this is a small thing in the sight of the Lord: moreover he will deliver also Moab into your hands.
然るも是はヱホバの目には瑣細き事なりヱホバ、モアブ人をも汝らの手にわたしたまはん
19 And you shall destroy every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall cut down every fruitful tree, and shall stop up all the springs of waters, and every goodly field you shall cover with stones.
汝等は保障ある諸の邑と諸の美しき邑とを撃ち諸の佳樹を斫倒し諸の水の井を塞ぎ石をもて諸の善地を壞ふにいたらん
20 And it came to pass in the morning, when the sacrifices used to be offered, that behold, water came by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
かくて朝におよびて供物を献ぐる時に水エドムの途より流れきたりて水國に充つ
21 And all the Moabites hearing that the kings were come up to fight against them, gathered together all that were girded with a belt upon them, and stood in the borders.
偖またモアブ人はみな王等の己に攻のぼれるを聞しかば甲を著ることを得る以上の者を盡く集めてその境に備へしが
22 And they rose early in the morning, and the sun being now up, and shining upon the waters, the Moabites saw the waters over against them red, like blood,
朝はやく興いでしに水の上に日昇りゐて對面の水血の如くに赤かりければモアブ人これを見て
23 And they said: It is the blood of the sword: the kings have fought among themselves, and they have killed one another: go now, Moab, to the spoils.
いひけるはこれ乃はち血なり王たち戰ひて死たるならん互に相撃たるなるべし然ばモアブよ掠取に行けと
24 And they went into the camp of Israel: but Israel rising up defeated Moab, who fled before them. And they being conquerors, went and smote Moab.
而してモアブ人イスラエルの陣營に至るにイスラエル人起てこれを撃たればすなはちその前より逃はしれり是においてイスラエル人進みてモアブ人を撃てその國にいり
25 And they destroyed the cities: and they filled every goodly field, every man casting his stone: and they stopt up all the springs of waters: and cut down all the trees that bore fruit, so that brick walls only remained: and the city was beset by the slingers, and a great part thereof destroyed.
その邑々を撃圮し各石を諸の善地に投てこれに填し水の井をことごとく塞ぎ佳樹をことごとく斫たふし唯キルハラセテにその石をのこせしのみなるに至る但し石を投るもの周りあるきてこれを撃り
26 And when the king of Moab saw this, to wit, that the enemies had prevailed, he took with him seven hundred men that drew the sword, to break in upon the king of Edom: but they could not.
モアブ王戰闘の手いたくして當りがたきを見て劍を抜く者七百人をひきゐてエドム王の所にまで衝きいたらんとせしが遂に果さざりしかば
27 Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall: and there was great indignation in Israel, and presently they departed from him, and returned into their own country.
己の位を継べきその長子をとりてこれを石垣の上にささげて燔祭となしたり是に於てイスラエルに大なる憤怒おこりぬ彼等すなはちかれをすててその國に歸れり
