< 2 Chronicles 13 >
1 In the eighteenth year of king Jerobo'am became Abiyah king over Judah.
ヤラベアム王の十八年にアビヤ、ユダの王となり
2 Three years he reigned in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Michayahu the daughter of Uriel of Gib'ah. And there was war between Abiyah and Jerobo'am.
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 Abiyah joined the battle with an army of valiant men of war, even of four hundred thousand chosen men: Jerobo'am also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valor.
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 Abiyah stood up above mount Zemarayim, which is in the mountain of Ephraim, and said, Hear me, O Jerobo'am, 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 the Lord the God of Israel hath given the kingdom over Israel to David for eternity, yea, to him and to his sons by a covenant of salts?
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 But there rose up Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, and rebelled against his lord.
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 were gathered unto him idle men, worthless persons, and put themselves in violent resistance against Rehobo'am the son of Solomon: while Rehobo'am was young and tender hearted, and could not sustain himself before 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 sustain yourselves before the kingdom of the Lord in the hand of the sons of David; and ye are a great multitude; and with you are golden calves, which Jerobo'am hath made for you as gods.
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 the Lord, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made yourselves priests like the people of the [various] lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams can become a priest to things that are no gods?
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, the Lord is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, who minister unto the Lord, are the sons of Aaron; and the Levites are at their [appointed] work;
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 the Lord burnt-offerings every morning and every evening and incense of sweet spices; and the rows of the show-bread [do they place] upon the pure table; and there is the candlestick of gold with its lamps, to light the same every evening; for we keep the charge of the Lord our God, while ye have truly 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, with us at our head, is the [true] God, with his priests with trumpets for blowing the alarm, to sound an alarm against you. O children of Israel, do not fight against the Lord the God of your fathers; for ye will 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 Jerobo'am caused an ambush to come around behind them: so they themselves were before Judah, and the ambush 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 turned round, behold, they had the battle before and behind: and they cried unto the Lord, and the priests blew 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 And then gave the men of Judah a shout: and it came to pass, as the men of Judah shouted, that God struck down Jerobo'am and all Israel before Abiyah 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 from before Judah, and God gave them up 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 Abiyah and his people smote them with a great defeat, and 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 were the children of Israel humbled at that time: and the children of Judah became powerful, because they relied upon the Lord the God 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 Abiyah made pursuit after Jerobo'am, and captured cities from him, Bethel with its villages, and Jeshanah with its villages, and 'Ephrayin with its villages.
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 And Jerobo'am did not recover strength again in the days of Abiyahu: and the Lord 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 Abiyahu became strong, and he took himself 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 Abiyah, and his ways, and his speeches, are written in the writing 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
