< Kings IV 12 >
1 Joas began to reign in the seventh year of Ju, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Sabia of Bersabee.
ヨアシはヱヒウの七年に位に即きエルサレムにおいて四十年世を治めたりその母はベエルシバより出たるものにて名をヂビアといへり
2 And Joas did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all the days that Jodae the priest instructed him.
ヨアシは祭司ヱホヤダの己を誨ふる間は恒にヱホバの善と視たまふ事をおこなへり
3 Only there were not [any] of the high places removed, and the people still sacrificed there, and burned incense on the high places.
然ど崇邱は除かずしてあり民は尚その崇邱において犠牲をささげ香を焚り
4 And Joas said to the priests, [As for] all the money of the holy things that is brought into the house of the Lord, the money of valuation, [as] each man brings the money of valuation, all the money which any man may feel disposed to bring into the house of the Lord,
茲にヨアシ祭司等に言けるは凡てヱホバの家に聖別て献納るところの金即ち核數らるる人の金估價にしたがひて出すところの身の代の金および人々が心より願てヱホバの家に持きたるところの金
5 let the priests take it to themselves, every man from [the proceeds of] his sale: and they shall repair the breaches of the house in all [places] wherever a breach shall be found.
これを祭司等おのおのその知人より受をさめ何處にても殿に破壞の見る時はこれをもてその破壞を修繕ふべしと
6 And it came to pass in the twenty-third year of king Joas the priests [had] not repaired the breaches of the house.
然るにヨアシ王の二十三年におよぶまで祭司等殿の破壞を修繕ふにいたらざりしかば
7 And king Joas called Jodae the priest, and the [other] priests, and said to them, Why have you not repaired the breaches of the house? now then receive no [more] money from your sales, for you shall give it to [repair the] breaches of the house.
ヨアシ王祭司ヱホヤダおよびその他の祭司等を召てこれに言ふ汝等などて殿の破壞を修繕はざるや然ば今よりは汝等の知人より金を受て自己のためにすべからず唯殿の破壞の修理に其を供ふべしと
8 And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, and not to repair the breaches of the house.
祭司等は重て民より自己のために金を受ず又殿の破壞を修理ふことをせじと約せり
9 And Jodae the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it by the altar in the house of a man [belonging to] the house of the Lord, and the priests that kept the door put [therein] all the money that was found in the house of the Lord.
斯て後祭司ヱホヤダ一箇の櫃をとりその蓋に孔を穿ちてこれをヱホバの家の入口の右において壇の傍に置り門守の祭司等すなはちヱホバの家に入きたるところの金をことごとくその中に入たり
10 And it came to pass, when they saw that [there was] much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest went up, and they tied up and counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord.
爰にその櫃の中に金の多くあることを見たれば王の書記と祭司長と上り來りてそのヱホバの家に積りし金を包みてこれを數へ
11 And they gave the money that had been collected into the hands of them that wrought the works, the overseers of the house of the Lord; and they gave it out to the carpenters and to the builders that wrought in the house of the Lord.
その數へし金をこの工事をなす者に付せり即ちヱホバの家の監督者にこれを付しければ彼等またヱホバの家を修理ふところの木匠と建築師にこれを與へ
12 And to the masons, and to the hewers of stone, to purchase timber and hewn stone to repair the breaches of the house of the Lord, for all that was spent on the house of the Lord to repair [it].
石工および琢石者に與へまたこれをもてヱホバの家の破壞を修繕ふ材木と琢石を買ひ殿を修理ふために用ふる諸の物のためにこれを費せり
13 Only there were not to be made for the house of the Lord silver plates, studs, bowls, or trumpets, any vessel of gold or vessel of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the Lord:
但しヱホバの家にり來れるその金をもてヱホバの家のために銀の盂燈剪鉢喇叭金の器銀の器等を造ることはせざりき
14 for they were to give it to the workmen, and they repaired therewith the house of the Lord.
唯これをその工事をなす者にわたして之をもてヱホバの家を修理はしめたり
15 Also they took no account of the men into whose hands they gave the money to give to the workmen, for they acted faithfully.
またその金を手にわたして工人にはらはしめたる人々と計算をなすことをせざりき是は彼等忠厚に事をなしたればなり
16 Money for a sin-offering, and money for a trespass-offering, whatever happened to be brought into the house of the Lord, went to the priests.
愆金と罪金はヱホバの家にいらずして祭司に歸せり
17 Then went up Azael king of Syria, and fought against Geth, and took it: and Azael set his face to go against Jerusalem.
當時スリアの王ハザエルのぼり來りてガテを攻てこれを取り而してハザエル、エルサレムに攻のぼらんとてその面をこれに向たり
18 And Joas king of Juda took all the holy things which Josaphat, and Joram, Ochozias, his fathers, and kings of Juda [had] consecrated, and what he had himself dedicated, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the Lord's house and the king's house, and he sent [them] to Azael king of Syria; and he went up from Jerusalem.
是をもてユダの王ヨアシその先祖たるユダの王ヨシヤパテ、ヨラム、アハジア等が聖別て献げたる一切の物および自己が聖別て献げたる物ならびにヱホバの家の庫と王の家とにあるところの金を悉く取てこれをスリアの王ハザエルにおくりければ彼すなはちエルサレムを離れて去ぬ
19 And the rest of the acts of Joas, and all that he did, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
ヨアシのその餘の行爲およびその凡て爲たる事はユダの王の歴代志の書に記さるるにあらずや
20 And his servants rose up and made a conspiracy, and struck Joas in the house of Mallo that is in Sela.
茲にヨアシの臣僕等おこりて黨をむすびシラに下るところのミロの家にてヨアシを弑せり
21 And Jezirchar the son of Jemuath, and Jezabuth Somer's son, his servants, struck him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amessias his son reigned in his stead.
即ちその僕シメアテの子ヨザカルとシヨメルの子ヨザバデかれを弑して死しめたればその先祖とおなじくこれをダビデの邑に葬れりその子アマジヤこれに代りて王となる
