< 2 Chronicles 13 >
1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.
ヤラベアム王の十八年にアビヤ、ユダの王となり
2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
ヱルサレムにて三年の間世を治めたり其母はギベアのウリエルの女にして名をミカヤといふ茲にアビヤとヤラベアムの間に戰爭あり
3 And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valour.
アビヤは四十萬の軍勢をもて戰闘に備ふ是みな倔強の猛き武夫なり又ヤラベアムは倔強の人八十萬をもて之にむかひて戰爭の行伍を立つ是また大勇士なり
4 And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel;
時にアビヤ、エフライムの山地なるゼマライム山の上に立て言けるはヤラベアムおよびイスラエルの人々皆聽よ
5 Ought ye not to know that YHWH Elohim of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
汝ら知ずやイスラエルの神ヱホバ鹽の契約をもてイスラエルの國を永くダビデとその子孫に賜へり
6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his master.
然るにダビデの子ソロモンの臣たるネバテの子ヤラベアム興りてその主君に叛き
7 And there are gathered unto him vain men, the children of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them.
邪曲なる放蕩者これに集り附き自ら強くしてソロモンの子レハベアムに敵せしがレハベアムは少くまた心弱くして之に當る力なかりき
8 And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of YHWH in the hand of the sons of David; and ye be a great multitude, and there are with you golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for elohim.
今またなんぢらはダビデの子孫の手にあるヱホバの國に敵對せんとす汝らは大軍なり又ヤラベアムが作りて汝らの神と爲たる金の犢なんぢらと偕にあり
9 Have ye not cast out the priests of YHWH, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no elohim.
汝らはアロンの子孫たるヱホバの祭司とレビ人とを逐放ち國々の民の爲がごとくに祭司を立るにあらずや即ち誰にもあれ少き牡牛一匹牡羊七匹を携へきたりて手に充す者は皆かの神ならぬ者の祭司となることを得るなり
10 But as for us, YHWH is our Elohim, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto YHWH, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business:
然ど我儕に於てはヱホバ我儕の神にましまして我儕は之を棄ずまたヱホバに事ふる祭司はアロンの子孫にして役事をなす者はレビ人なり
11 And they burn unto YHWH every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the shewbread also set they in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of YHWH our Elohim; but ye have forsaken him.
彼ら朝ごと夕ごとにヱホバに燔祭を献げ香を焚くことを爲し又供前のパンを純精の案の上に供へまた金の燈臺とその燈盞を整へて夕ごとに點すなり斯われらは我らの神ヱホバの職守を守れども汝らは却て彼を棄たり
12 And, behold, Elohim himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against YHWH Elohim of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.
視よ神みづから我らとともに在して我らの大將となりたまふまた其祭司等は喇叭を吹ならして汝らを攻むイスラエルの子孫よ汝らの先祖の神ヱホバに敵して戰ふ勿れ汝ら利あらざるべければなりと
13 But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.
ヤラベアム伏兵を彼らの後に回らせたればイスラエルはユダの前にあり伏兵は其後にあり
14 And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried unto YHWH, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
ユダ後を顧みるに敵前後にありければヱホバにむかひて號呼り祭司等喇叭を吹り
15 Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that Elohim smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
ユダの人々すなはち吶喊を擧けるがユダの人々吶喊を擧るにあたりて神ヤラベアムとイスラエルの人々をアビヤとユダの前に打敗り給ひしかば
16 And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and Elohim delivered them into their hand.
イスラエルの子孫はユダの前より逃はしれり神かく彼らを之が手に付したまひければ
17 And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
アビヤとその民彼らを夥多く撃殺せりイスラエルの殺されて倒れし者は五十萬人みな倔強の人なりき
18 Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon YHWH Elohim of their fathers.
是時にはイスラエルの子孫打負されユダの子孫勝を得たり是は彼らその先祖の神ヱホバを賴みしが故なり
19 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshnah with the towns thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof.
アビヤすなはちヤラベアムを追撃て邑數箇を彼より取れり即ちベテルとその郷里ヱシヤナとその郷里エフロンとその郷里是なり
20 Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and YHWH struck him, and he died.
ヤラベアムはアビヤの世に再び權勢を奮ふことを得ずヱホバに撃れて死り
21 But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.
然どアビヤは權勢を得妻十四人を娶り男子二十二人女子十六人を擧けたり
22 And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.
アビヤのその餘の作爲とその行爲とその言は預言者イドの註釋に記さる
