2 Kings 1
1 After Ahab died, Moab rebelled against Israel.
アハブの死しのちモアブ、イスラエルにそむけり
2 Ahaziah had fallen through the lattice-work of his upper room in Samaria and had hurt himself badly. So he sent out messengers, telling them: “Go and ask Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will get better from this injury.”
アハジヤ、サマリヤにあるその樓の欄杆よりおちて病をおこせしかば使を遣さんとして之にいひけるは往てエクロンの神バアルゼブブにわがこの病の愈るや否を問べしと
3 But the angel of the Lord told Elijah the Tishbite, “Go and meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is it because there's no God in Israel that you're going to ask advice from Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron?’
時にヱホバの使テシベ人エリヤにいひけるは起てサマリヤ王の使にあひて之に言べし汝等がエクロンの神バアルゼブブに問んとてゆくはイスラエルに神なきがゆゑなるか
4 So this is the Lord's answer: ‘You will not leave the bed on which you are lying. You're definitely going to die.’” And Elijah left.
是によりてヱホバかくいふ汝はその登りし牀より下ることなかるべし汝かならず死んとエリヤ乃ち往り
5 The messengers returned to the king, and he asked them, “Why have you come back?”
使者たちアハジアに返りければアハジア彼等に何故に返りしやといふに
6 “A man came and met us,” they replied. “He told us, ‘Go back to the king who sent you, and tell him, This is what the Lord says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending to ask advice from Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? As a result you will not leave the bed on which you are lying. You're definitely going to die.’”
かれら之にいひけるは一箇の人上りきたりて我らに會ひわれらにいひけるは往てなんぢらを遣はせし王の所にかへり之にいふべしヱホバ斯いひたまふなんぢエクロンの神バアルゼブブに問んとて人を遣すはイスラエルに神なきがゆゑなるか然ば汝その登りし牀より下ることなかるべし汝かならず死んと
7 “What was he like, this man who met you and told you all this?” the king asked.
アハジア彼等にいひけるはそののぼりきたりて汝等に會ひ此等の言を汝らに告たる人の形状は如何なりしや
8 “He was a hairy man wearing a leather belt around his waist,” they replied. “It's Elijah the Tishbite,” said the king.
かれら對へていひけるはそれは毛深き人にして腰に革の帶をむすび居たり彼いひけるはその人はテシベ人エリヤなりと
9 Then the king sent an army captain with fifty men to Elijah. The captain went up to Elijah, who was sitting on the top of a hill, and told him, “Man of God, the king orders you, ‘Come down!’”
是に於て王五十人の長とその五十人をエリヤの所に遣はせり彼エリヤの所に上りゆくに視よエリヤは山の嶺に坐し居たりかれエリヤにいひけるは神の人よ王いひたまふ下るべし
10 Elijah replied to the captain, “If I am a man of God, then let fire fall from heaven and burn up you and your fifty men.” Fire fell from heaven and burned up the captain and his men.
エリヤこたへて五十人の長にいひけるはわれもし神の人たらば火天より降りて汝と汝の五十人とを燒盡すべしと火すなはち天より降りて彼とその五十人とを燒盡せり
11 So the king sent another captain with his fifty men to Elijah. The captain said to Elijah, “Man of God, the king orders you, Come down immediately!”
アハジアまた他の五十人の長とその五十人をエリヤに遣せりかれ上りてエリヤにいひけるは神の人よ王かく言たまふ速かに下るべし
12 Elijah replied to the captain, “If I am a man of God, then let fire fall from heaven and burn up you and your fifty men.” Fire fell from heaven and burned up the captain and his men.
エリヤ答て彼にいひけるはわれもし神の人たらば火天より降りて爾となんぢの五十人を燒盡すべしと神の火すなはち天より降りてかれとその五十人を燒盡せり
13 So the king sent a third captain with his fifty men. The third captain went up, kneeled before Elijah, and pleaded with him, “Man of God, please value my life and the lives of these fifty men.
かれまた第三の五十人の長とその五十人を遣せり第三の五十人の長のぼりいたりてエリヤのまへに跪きこれに願ひていひけるは神の人よ願くはわが生命となんぢの僕なるこの五十人の生命をなんぢの目に貴重き者と見なしたまへ
14 Yes, fire has fallen from heaven and burned up the first two captains of fifty, along with all their men. But now please value my life!”
視よ火天より降りて前の五十人の長二人とその五十人を燒盡せり然どわが生命をば汝の目に貴重き者となしたまへ
15 Then the angel of the Lord told Elijah, “Go down with him. You don't have to be afraid of him.” So Elijah got up and went down with him to the king.
時にヱホバの使エリヤに云けるはかれとともに下れかれをおそるることなかれとエリヤすなはち起てかれとともに下り王の許に至り
16 Elijah told the king, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Is it because there's no God in Israel for you to consult that you have sent messengers to ask advice of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? As a result you will not leave the bed on which you are lying. You're definitely going to die.”
之にいひけるはヱホバかくいひたまふ汝エクロンの神バアルゼブブに問んとて使者を遣るはイスラエルにその言を問ふべき神なきがゆゑなるか是によりて汝はその登し牀より下ることなかるべし汝かならず死んと
17 Ahaziah died just as the Lord had said through Elijah. Because he had no son, Joram succeeded him as king in the second year of the reign of Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah.
彼エリヤの言たるヱホバの言の如く死けるが彼に子なかりしかばヨラムこれに代りて王となれり是はユダの王ヨシヤパテの子ヨラムの二年にあたる
18 The rest of what happened in Ahaziah's reign and what he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
アハジヤのなしたる其餘の事業はイスラエルの王の歴代志の書に記載さるるにあらずや
