2 Kings 18
1 And it comes to pass, in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah, king of Israel, Hezekiah son of Ahaz, king of Judah, has reigned;
イスラエルの王エラの子ホセアの三年にユダの王アハズの子ヒゼキア王となれり
2 he was a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Abi daughter of Zechariah.
彼は王となれる時二十五歳にしてエルサレムにて二十九年世ををさめたりその母はザカリヤの女にして名をアビといへり
3 And he does that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his father David did,
ヒゼキヤはその父ダビデの凡てなせしごとくヱホバの善と見たまふ事をなし
4 he has turned aside the high places, and broken in pieces the standing-pillars, and cut down the Asherah, and beaten down the bronze serpent that Moses made, for up to these days the sons of Israel were making incense to it, and he calls it “a piece of bronze.”
崇邱を除き偶像を毀ちアシラ像を斫たふしモーセの造りし銅の蛇を打碎けりこの時までイスラエルの子孫その蛇にむかひて香を焚たればなり人々これをネホシタン(銅物)と稱なせり
5 In YHWH, God of Israel, he has trusted, and after him there has not been like him among all the kings of Judah, nor [among any] who were before him;
ヒゼキヤはイスラエルの神ヱホバを賴り是をもて彼の後にも彼の先にもユダの諸の王等の中に彼に如ものなかりき
6 and he cleaves to YHWH, he has not turned aside from after Him, and keeps His commands that YHWH commanded Moses.
即ち彼は固くヱホバに身をよせてこれに從ふことをやめずヱホバがモーセに命じたまひしその誡命を守れり
7 And YHWH has been with him; in every place where he goes out he acts wisely, and he rebels against the king of Asshur, and has not served him;
ヱホバ彼とともに在したれば彼はその往ところにて凡て利達を得たり彼はアッスリヤの王に叛きてこれに事へざりき
8 he has struck the Philistines, even to Gaza and its borders, from a tower of watchers to the fortified city.
彼ペリシテ人を撃敗りてガザにいたりその境に達し看守臺より城にまで及べり
9 And it comes to pass, in the fourth year of King Hezekiah—it [is] the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah, king of Israel—Shalmaneser king of Asshur has come up against Samaria and lays siege to it,
ヒゼキヤ王の四年すなはちイスラエルの王エラの子ホセアの七年にアッスリヤの王シヤルマネセル、サマリヤに攻のぼりてこれを圍みけるが
10 and they capture it at the end of three years; in the sixth year of Hezekiah—it [is] the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel—Samaria has been captured,
三年の後つひに之を取りサマリヤの取れしはヒゼキヤの六年にしてイスラエルの王ホセアの九年にあたる
11 and the king of Asshur removes Israel to Asshur, and placed them in Halah, and in Habor [by] the river Gozan, and [in] cities of the Medes,
アッスリヤの王イスラエルをアッスリヤに擄へゆきてこれをハラとゴザン河の邊とメデアの邑々におきぬ
12 because that they have not listened to the voice of their God YHWH, and transgress His covenant—all that He commanded Moses, servant of YHWH—indeed, they have not listened nor done [it].
是は彼等その神ヱホバの言に遵はずその契約を破りヱホバの僕モーセが凡て命じたる事をやぶりこれを聽ことも行ふこともせざるによりてなり
13 And in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Asshur has come up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and seizes them,
ヒゼキヤ王の十四年にアッスリヤの王セナケリブ攻のぼりてユダの諸の堅き邑を取ければ
14 and Hezekiah king of Judah sends to the king of Asshur at Lachish, saying, “I have sinned, turn back from off me; that which you put on me I bear”; and the king of Asshur lays on Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold,
ユダの王ヒゼキヤ人をラキシにつかはしてアッスリヤの王にいたらしめて言ふ我過てり我を離れて歸りたまへ汝が我に蒙らしむる者は我これを爲べしとアッスリヤの王すなはち銀三百タラント金三十タラントをユダの王ヒゼキヤに課したり
15 and Hezekiah gives all the silver that is found in the house of YHWH and in the treasures of the house of the king;
是においてヒゼキヤ、ヱホバの家と王の家の庫とにあるところの銀をことごとく彼に與へたり
16 at that time Hezekiah has cut off the doors of the temple of YHWH, and the pillars that Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gives them to the king of Asshur.
此時ユダの王ヒゼキヤまた己が金を著たりしヱホバの宮の戸および柱を剥てこれをアッスリヤの王に與へたり
17 And the king of Asshur sends Tartan, and the chief of the eunuchs, and the chief of the butlers, from Lachish, to King Hezekiah, with a heavy force, to Jerusalem, and they go up and come to Jerusalem, and they go up, and come in and stand by the conduit of the upper pool that [is] in the highway of the fuller’s field.
アッスリヤの王またタルタン、ラブサリスおよびラブシヤケをしてラキシより大軍をひきゐてエルサレムにむかひてヒゼキヤ王の所にいたらしめたればすなはち上りてエルサレムにきたれり彼等則ち上り來り漂布場の大路に沿るよの池塘の水道の邊にいたりて立り
18 And they call to the king, and Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who [is] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, the remembrancer, go out to them.
而して彼等王を呼たればヒルキヤの子なる宮内卿エリアキム書記官セブナおよびアサフの子なる史官ヨア出きたりて彼等に詣りけるに
19 And the chief of the butlers says to them, “Now say to Hezekiah, Thus said the great king, the king of Asshur: What [is] this confidence in which you have confided?
ラブシヤケこれに言けるは汝等ヒゼキヤに言べし大王アッスリヤの王かく言たまふ此汝が賴むところの者は何ぞや
20 You have said: Only a word of the lips! Counsel and might [are] for battle; now, on whom have you trusted that you have rebelled against me?
汝戰爭をなすの謀計と勇力とを言も只これ口の先の言語たるのみ誰を恃みて我に叛くことをせしや
21 Now behold, you have trusted for yourself on the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; which a man leans on, and it has gone into his hand and pierced it! So [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt to all those trusting on him.
視よ汝は折かかれる葦の杖なるエジプトを賴む其は人の其に倚るあればすなはちその手を刺とほすなりエジプトの王パロは凡てこれを賴む者に斯あるなり
22 And when you say to me, We have trusted in our God YHWH, is it not He whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has turned aside, and says to Judah and to Jerusalem, You bow yourselves before this altar in Jerusalem?
汝等あるひは我はわれらの神ヱホバを賴むと我に言ん彼はヒゼキヤがその崇邱と祭壇とを除きたる者にあらずやまた彼はユダとエルサレムに告て汝等はエルサレムに於てこの壇の前に祷拝をなすべしと言しにあらずや
23 And now, please give a pledge for yourself to my lord the king of Asshur, and I give two thousand horses to you, if you are able to give riders for yourself on them.
然ば請ふわが主君アッスリヤの王に約をなせ汝もし人を乗しむることを得ば我馬二千匹を汝にあたへん
24 And how do you turn back the face of one captain of the least of the servants of my lord, that you trust for yourself on Egypt for chariot and for horsemen?
汝いかにしてか吾主君の諸臣の中の最も微き一將だにも退くることを得ん汝なんぞエジプトを賴みて兵車と騎兵をこれに仰がんとするや
25 Have I now come up without YHWH against this place to destroy it? YHWH said to me, Go up against this land, and you have destroyed it.”
また我とても今ヱホバの旨によらずして比處を滅しに上れるならんやヱホバ我に此處に攻のぼりてこれを滅せと言たり
26 And Eliakim son of Hilkiah says—and Shebna and Joah—to the chief of the butlers, “Please speak to your servants [in] Aramaic, for we are understanding, but do not speak with us [in] Jewish, in the ears of the people who [are] on the wall.”
時にヒルキヤの子エリアキムおよびセブナとヨア、ラダシヤケにいひけるは請ふスリアの語をもて僕等に語りたまへ我儕これを識なり石垣の上にをる民の聞るところにてユダヤ語をもて我儕に言談たまふなかれ
27 And the chief of the butlers says to them, “For your lord, and to you, has my lord sent me to speak these words? Is it not for the men—those sitting on the wall—to eat their own dung and to drink their own water, with you?”
ラブシヤケかれらに言ふわが君唯我を汝の主と汝とにつかはして此言をのべしめたまふならんや亦石垣の上に坐する人々にも我を遣して彼等をして汝等とともに自己の便溺を食ひ且飮にいたらしめんとしたまふにあらずやと
28 And the chief of the butlers stands and calls with a great voice [in] Jewish, and speaks and says, “Hear a word of the great king, the king of Asshur—
而してラブシヤケ起あがりユダヤ語をもて大聲に呼はり言をいだして曰けるは汝等大王アッスリヤの王の言を聽け
29 thus said the king: Do not let Hezekiah lift you up, for he is not able to deliver you out of his hand;
王かく言たまふ汝等ヒゼキヤに欺かるるなかれ彼は汝等をわが手より救ひいだすことをえざるなり
30 and do not let Hezekiah make you trust in YHWH, saying, YHWH certainly delivers us, and this city is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur.
ヒゼキヤがヱホバかならず我らを救ひたまはん此邑はアッスリヤの王の手に陷らじと言て汝らにヱホバを賴ましめんとするとも
31 Do not listen to Hezekiah, for thus said the king of Asshur: Make a blessing with me, and come out to me, and each eat of his vine, and each [eat] of his fig tree, and each drink the waters of his own well,
汝等ヒゼキヤの言を聽なかれアッスリヤの王かく言たまふ汝等約をなして我に降れ而して各人おのれの葡萄の樹の果を食ひ各人おのれの無花果樹の果をくらひ各人おのれの井水を飮めよ
32 until my coming in, and I have taken you to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive oil, and honey; and live, and do not die; and do not listen to Hezekiah when he persuades you, saying, YHWH delivers us.
我來りて汝等を一の國に携ゆかん其は汝儕の國のごとき國穀と酒のある地パンと葡萄園のある地油の出る橄欖と蜜とのある地なり汝等は生ることを得ん死ることあらじヒゼキヤ、ヱホバ我儕を救ひたまはんと言て汝らを勸るともこれを聽なかれ
33 Have each of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Asshur?
國々の神の中執かその國をアッスリヤの王の手より救ひたりしや
34 Where [are] the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where [are] the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah, that they have delivered Samaria out of my hand?
ハマテおよびアルパデの神々は何處にあるセパルワイム、ヘナおよびアワの神々は何處にあるやサマリヤをわが手より救ひ出せし神々あるや
35 Who [are they] among all the gods of the lands that have delivered their land out of my hand, that YHWH delivers Jerusalem out of my hand?”
國々の神の中にその國をわが手より救ひいだせし者ありしや然ばヱホバいかでかエルサレムをわが手より救ひいだすことを得んと
36 And the people have kept silent, and have not answered him a word, for the command of the king is, saying, “Do not answer him.”
然ども民は默して一言もこれに應へざりき其は王命じてこれに應ふるなかれと言おきたればなり
37 And Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who [is] over the house, comes in, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, the remembrancer, to Hezekiah, with torn garments, and they declare to him the words of the chief of the butlers.
かくてヒルキヤの子なる宮内卿エリアキム書記官セブナおよびアサの子なる史官ヨアその衣をさきてヒゼキヤの許にいたりラブシヤケの言をこれに告たり
