2 Chronicles 17
1 And Jehoshaphat his son became king in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.
アサの子ヨシヤパテ、アサに代りて王となりイスラエルにむかひて力を強くし
2 And he placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and placed garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Assa his father had captured.
ユダの一切の堅固なる邑々に兵を置きユダの地およびその父アサが取たるエフライムの邑々に鎮臺を置く
3 And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat; because he walked in the first ways of David his father, and sought not after the Be'alim;
ヱホバ、ヨシヤパテとともに在せり其は彼その父ダビデの最初の道に歩みてバアル等を求めず
4 On the contrary, after the God of his father did he seek, and in his commandments did he walk, but not after the doings of Israel.
その父の神を求めてその誡命に歩みイスラエルの行爲に傚はざればなり
5 Therefore did the Lord establish the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah gave presents to Jehoshaphat; and he had riches and honor in abundance.
このゆゑにヱホバ國を彼の手に堅く立たまへりまたユダの人衆みなヨシヤパテに禮物を餽れり彼は富と貴とを極めたり
6 And his heart raised itself up in the ways of the Lord, and he removed moreover the high-places and groves out of Judah.
是において彼ヱホバの道にその心を勵まし遂に崇邱とアシラ像とをユダより除けり
7 And in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben-chayil, and 'Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Michayahu, to teach in the cities of Judah.
彼またその治世の三年にその牧伯ベネハイル、オバデヤ、ゼカリヤ、ネタンエルおよびミカヤを遣はしてユダの邑々にて敎誨をなさしめ
8 And with them were the Levites, Shema'yahu, and Nethanyahu, and Zebadyahu, and 'Assahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adoniyahu, and Tobiyahu, and Tobadoniyah, the Levites; and with them Elishama' and Jehoram, the priests.
またレビ人の中よりシマヤ、ネタニヤ、ゼバデヤ、アサヘル、セミラモテ、ヨナタン、アドニヤ、トビヤ、トバドニヤなどいふレビ人を遣して之と偕ならしめ且祭司エリシヤマとヨラムをも之と偕に遣はしけるが
9 And they taught in Judah, and with them was the book of the law of the Lord, and they moved about through all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.
彼らはヱホバの律法の書を携ヘユダにおいて敎誨をなしユダの邑々を盡く行めぐりて民を敎へたり。
10 And the dread of the Lord was upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war with Jehoshaphat.
是においてユダの周圍の地の國々みなヱホバを懼れてヨシヤパテを攻ることをせざりき
11 Also from the Philistines did people bring unto Jehoshaphat presents and silver, as tribute: also the Arabians brought him small cattle, rams seven thousand and seven hundred, and he-goats seven thousand and seven hundred.
またペリシテ人の中に禮物および貢の銀をヨシヤパテに餽れる者あり且又アラビヤ人は家畜をこれに餽れり即ち牡羊七千七百牡山羊七千七百
12 And Jehoshaphat went on becoming exceedingly great, and he built in Judah castles and treasure-cities.
ヨシヤパテは益々大になりゆきてユダに城および府庫邑を多く建て
13 And he had great works in the cities of Judah, and men of war, mighty in valor, in Jerusalem.
ユダの邑々に多くの工事を爲し大勇士たる軍人をヱルサレムに置り
14 And these are their numbers according to their family divisions: Of Judah, of the captains of the thousands was 'Adnah the chief, and with him were mighty men of valor, three hundred thousand.
彼等を數ふるにその宗家に循へば左のごとしユダより出たる千人の長の中にはアデナといふ軍長あり大勇士三十萬これに從がふ
15 And next to him was Jehochanan the chief, and with him were two hundred and eighty thousand.
その次は軍長ヨハナン之に從ふ者は二十八萬人
16 And next to him was 'Amassyah the son of Zichri, who voluntarily offered himself unto the Lord; and with him were two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
その次はジクリの子アマシヤ彼は悦びてその身をヱホバに献げたり大勇士二十萬これに從がふ
17 And of Benjamin, the mighty valiant Elyada', and with him were those armed with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
ベニヤミンより出たる者の中にはエリアダといふ大勇士あり弓および楯を持もの二十萬これに從がふ
18 And next him was Jehozabad, and with him were one hundred and eighty thousand ready armed for the host.
その次はヨザバデ戰門の準備をなせる者十八萬これに從がふ
19 These were those that ministered to the king, besides those whom the king had placed in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.
是等は皆王に事ふる者等なり此外にまたユダ全國の堅固なる邑々に王の置る者あり
