< Kings IV 3 >
1 And Joram the son of Achaab began to reign in Israel 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 that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, only not as his father, nor as his mother: and he removed the pillars 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 Only he adhered to the sin of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin; he departed not from it.
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 And Mosa king of Moab was a sheep-master, and he rendered to the king of Israel in the beginning [of the year], a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams, with the wool.
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 it came to pass, after the death of Achaab, that the king of Moab rebelled against 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 forth in that day out of Samaria, and numbered 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 went and sent to Josaphat king of Juda, saying, The king of Moab has rebelled against me: will you go with me against Moab to war? And he said, I will go up: you are as I, I am as you; as my people, so [is] your people, as my horses, so [are] your 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, What way shall I go up? and he said, The way of the wilderness 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 And the king of Israel went, and the king of Juda, and the king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven days' journey; and there was no water for the army, and for the cattle that went with 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! that the Lord should have called the three kings on their way, to give them into the hand 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 enquire of the Lord by him? And one of the servants of the king of Israel answered and said, [There is] here Elisaie son of Saphat, who poured water on the hands of Eliu.
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, He has the word of the Lord. 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 Elisaie said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with you? go to the prophets of your father, and the prophets of your mother. And the king of Israel said to him, Has the Lord called the 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 Elisaie said, [As] the Lord of hosts before whom I stand lives, unless I regarded the presence of Josaphat the king of Juda, I would not have looked on you, nor seen you.
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 And now fetch me a harper. And it came to pass, as the harper harped, that the hand of the Lord came upon him.
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 And he said, Thus says the Lord, Make this valley full of trenches.
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 says the Lord, You shall not see wind, neither shall you see rain, yet this valley shall be filled with water, and you, and your flocks, and your cattle shall drink.
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 light [thing] in the eyes of the Lord: I will also deliver Moab into your hand.
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 strike every strong city, and you shall cut down every good tree, and you shall stop all wells of water, and spoil every good piece [of land] 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 sacrifice was offered, that, behold! waters came from the way of Edom, and the land 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 Moab heard that the three kings were come up to fight against them; and they cried out on every [side, even] all that were girded with a girdle, and they said, Ho! and stood upon the border.
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 rose upon the waters, and Moab saw the waters on the opposite side red as 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, This [is] the blood of the sword; and the kings have fought, and each man has struck his neighbor; now then to the spoils, Moab.
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 entered into the camp of Israel; and Israel arose and struck Moab, and they fled from before them; and they went on and struck Moab as they went.
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 razed the cities, and cast every man his stone on every good piece [of land] and filled it; and they stopped every well, and cut down every good tree, until they left [only] the stones of the wall cast down; and the slingers compassed [the land], and struck it.
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 the king of Moab saw that the battle prevailed against him; and he took with him seven hundred men that drew sword, to cut through to the king of Edom: and 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 And he took his oldest son whom he had designed to reign in his stead, and offered him up for a whole burnt offering on the walls. And there was a great indignation against Israel; and they departed from him, and returned to their land.
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
