2 Chronicles 32
1 After these things and this truth, Sennacherib king of Asshur has come, indeed, he comes to Judah, and encamps against the cities of the bulwarks, and says to break into them himself.
ヒゼキヤが此等の事を行ひ且つ忠實なりし後アツスリヤの王セナケリブ來りてユダに入り堅固なる邑々にむかひて陣を張り之を攻取んとす
2 And Hezekiah sees that Sennacherib has come, and his face [is] to the battle against Jerusalem,
ヒゼキヤ、セナケリブの旣に來りヱルサレムに攻むかはんとするを見
3 and he takes counsel with his heads and his mighty ones, to stop the waters of the fountains that [are] at the outside of the city—and they help him,
その牧伯等および勇士等と謀りて邑の外なる一切の泉水を塞がんとす彼等これを助く
4 and many people are gathered, and they stop all the fountains and the brook that is rushing into the midst of the land, saying, “Why do the kings of Asshur come, and have found much water?”
衆多の民あつまりて一切の泉水および國の中を流れわたる渓河を塞ぎていひけるはアツスリヤの王等來りて水を多く得ば豈で可らんやと
5 And he strengthens himself, and builds the whole of the wall that is broken, and causes [it] to ascend to the towers, and at the outside of the wall [builds] another, and strengthens Millo [in] the City of David, and makes darts in abundance, and shields.
ヒゼキヤまた力を強くし破れたる石垣をことごとく建なほして之を戌樓まで築き上げその外にまた石垣をめぐらしダビデの邑のミロを堅くし戈盾を多く造り
6 And he puts heads of war over the people, and gathers them to him, to the broad place of a gate of the city, and speaks to their heart, saying,
軍長を多く民の上に立て邑の門の廣場に民を集めてこれを努ひて言ふ
7 “Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid, nor be cast down from the face of the king of Asshur, and from the face of all the multitude that [is] with him, for with us [are] more than with him.
汝ら心を強くし且勇めアツスリヤの王のためにも彼とともなる群衆のためにも懼るる勿れ慄く勿れ我らとともなる者は彼とともになる者よりも多きぞかし
8 With him [is] an arm of flesh, but with us [is] our God YHWH to help us and to fight our battles”; and the people are supported by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
彼とともなる者は肉の腕なり然れども我らとともなる者は我らの神ヱホバにして我らを助け我らに代りて戰かひたまふべしと民はユダの王ヒゼキヤの言に安んず
9 After this Sennacherib king of Asshur has sent his servants to Jerusalem—and he [is] by Lachish, and all his power with him—against Hezekiah king of Judah and against all Judah who [are] in Jerusalem, saying,
此後アツスリヤの王セナケリブその全軍をもてラキシを攻圍み居りて臣僕をヱルサレムに遣はしてユダの王ヒゼキヤおよびヱルサレムにをる一切のユダ人に告しめて云く
10 “Thus said Sennacherib king of Asshur: On what are you trusting and abiding in the bulwark in Jerusalem?
アツスリヤの王セナケリブかく言ふ汝ら何を恃みてヱルサレムに閉籠りをるや
11 Is Hezekiah not persuading you to give you up to die by famine and by thirst, saying, Our God YHWH delivers us from the hand of the king of Asshur?
ヒゼキヤ我らの神ヱホバ、アツスリヤの王の手より我らを救ひ出したまはんと言て汝らを浚かし汝らをして饑渇て死しめんとするに非ずや
12 Has Hezekiah himself not turned aside His high places and His altars, and speaks to Judah and to Jerusalem, saying, You bow yourselves before one altar and you make incense on it?
此ヒゼキヤはすなはちヱホバの諸の崇邱と祭壇を取のぞきユダとヱルサレムとに命じて汝らは唯一の壇の前にて崇拝を爲しその上に香を焚べしと言し者にあらずや
13 Do you not know what I have done—I and my fathers—to all peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands at all able to deliver their land out of my hand?
汝らは我およびわが先祖等が諸の國の民に爲したる所を知ざるか其等の國々の民の神少許にてもその國をわが手より救ひ取ることを得しや
14 Who among all the gods of these nations whom my fathers have devoted to destruction [is] he who has been able to deliver his people out of my hand, that your God is able to deliver you out of my hand?
わが先祖等の滅ぼし盡せし國民の諸の神の中誰か己の民をわが手より救ひ出すことを得し者あらんや然れば汝らの神いかでか汝らをわが手より救ひいだすことを得ん
15 And now, do not let Hezekiah lift you up, nor persuade you thus, nor give credence to him, for no god of any nation and kingdom is able to deliver his people from my hand and from the hand of my fathers: also, surely your God does not deliver you from my hand!”
然れば斯ヒゼキヤに欺かるる勿れ浚かさるる勿れまた彼を信ずる勿れ何の民何の國の神もその民を我手または我父祖の手より救ひ出すことを得ざりしなれば况て汝らの神いかでか我手より汝らを救ひ出すことを得んと
16 And again his servants have spoken against YHWH God and against His servant Hezekiah,
セナケリブの臣僕等この外にも多くヱホバ神およびその僕ヒゼキヤを誹れり
17 and he has written letters to give reproach to YHWH, God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying, “As the gods of the nations of the lands that have not delivered their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah does not deliver His people from my hand.”
セナケリブまた書をかきおくりてイスラエルの神ヱホバを嘲りかつ誹り諸國の民の神々その民をわが手より救ひいださざりし如くヒゼキヤの神もその民をわが手より救ひ出さじと云ふ
18 And they call with a great voice [in] Jewish against the people of Jerusalem who [are] on the wall, to frighten them and to trouble them, that they may capture the city,
彼ら遂に大聲を擧げユダヤ語をもて石垣の上なるヱルサレムの民に語ひ之を威しかつ擾せり是は邑を取んとてなり
19 and they speak against the God of Jerusalem as against the gods of the peoples of the land—work of the hands of man.
斯かれらはヱルサレムの神を論ずること人の手の作なる地上の民の神々を論ずるがごとくせり
20 And Hezekiah the king prays, and Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet, concerning this, and they cry to the heavens,
是によりてヒゼキヤ王およびアモツの子預言者イザヤともに祈祷て天に呼はりければ
21 and YHWH sends a messenger and cuts off every mighty man of valor—both leader and head—in the camp of the king of Asshur, and he turns back with shame of face to his land and enters the house of his god, and those coming out of his bowels have caused him to fall there by the sword.
ヱホバ天の使一箇を遣はしてアツスリヤ王の陣營にある一切の大勇士および將官軍長等を絶しめたまへり斯りしかば王面を赧らめて己の國に還りけるがその神の家にいりし時其身より出たる者等劍をもて之を其處に弑せり
22 And YHWH saves Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Asshur and from the hand of all, and He leads them around;
是のごとくヱホバ、ヒゼキヤとヱルサレムの民をアツスリヤの王セナケリブの手および諸人の手より救ひいだし四方において之を守護たまへり
23 and many are bringing in an offering to YHWH, to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah, and he is lifted up before the eyes of all the nations after this.
是において衆多の人献納物をヱルサレムに携へきたりてヱホバに奉りまた財寳をユダの王ヒゼキヤに餽れり此後ヒゼキヤは萬國の民に尊び見らる
24 In those days Hezekiah has been sick even to death, and he prays to YHWH, and He speaks to him and has appointed a wonder for him;
當時ヒゼキヤ病て死んとせしがヱホバに祈りければヱホバこれに告をなし之に休徴を賜へり
25 and Hezekiah has not returned according to the deed [done] to him, for his heart has been lofty, and there is wrath on him and on Judah and Jerusalem;
然るにヒゼキヤその蒙むりし恩に酬ゆることをせずして心に高ぶりければ震怒これに臨まんとしまたユダとヱルサレムに臨まんとせしが
26 and Hezekiah is humbled for the loftiness of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the wrath of YHWH has not come on them in the days of Hezekiah.
ヒゼキヤその心に高慢を悔て身を卑くしヱルサレムの民も同じく然なしたるに因てヒゼキヤの世にはヱホバの震怒かれらに臨まざりき
27 And Hezekiah has very much riches and honor, and he has made treasures for himself of silver, and of gold, and of precious stone, and of spices, and of shields, and of all [kinds] of desirable vessels,
ヒゼキヤは富と貴を極め府庫を造りて金銀寶石香物楯および各種の寶貴き器物を蔵め
28 and storehouses for the increase of grain, and new wine, and oil, and stalls for all kinds of livestock, and herds for stalls;
また倉廩を造りて穀物酒油などの產物を蔵め圈を造りて種々の家畜を置き牢を造りて羊の群を置き
29 and he has made cities for himself, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance, for God has given very much substance to him.
また許多の邑を設けかつ牛羊を夥多しく有り是は神貨財を甚だ多くこれに賜ひしが故なり
30 And Hezekiah himself has stopped the upper source of the waters of Gihon, and directs them beneath to the west of the City of David, and Hezekiah prospers in all his work;
このヒゼキヤまたギホンの水の上の源を塞ぎてこれを下より眞直にダビデの邑の西の方に引り斯ヒゼキヤはその一切の工を善なし就たり
31 and so with the ambassadors of the heads of Babylon, those sending to him to inquire of the wonder that has been in the land, God has left him to try him, to know all in his heart.
但しバビロンの君等が使者を遣はしてこの國にありし奇蹟を問しめたる時には神かれを棄おきたまへり是その心に有ところの事を盡く知んがために之を試みたまへるなり
32 And the rest of the matters of Hezekiah and his kind acts, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet, on the scroll of the kings of Judah and Israel.
ヒゼキヤのその餘の行爲およびその徳行はユダとイスラエルの列王紀の書の中なるアモツの子預言者イザヤの默示の中に記さる
33 And Hezekiah lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the highest of the graves of the sons of David, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem have done honor to him at his death, and his son Manasseh reigns in his stead.
ヒゼキヤその先祖等と偕に寝りたればダビデの子孫の墓の中なる高き處にこれを葬りユダの人々およびヱルサレムの民みな厚くその死を送れり其子マナセこれに代りて王となる
