2 Kings 3
1 And Jehoram son of Ahab has reigned over Israel, in Samaria, in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigns 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 does evil in the eyes of YHWH, only not like his father, and like his mother, and he turns aside the standing-pillar of Ba‘al that his father 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 surely he has cleaved to the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that he caused Israel to sin; he has not turned aside 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 Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master, and he rendered to the king of Israel one hundred thousand lambs and one hundred thousand rams, [with] 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 comes to pass at the death of Ahab, that the king of Moab transgresses 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 Jehoram goes out from Samaria in that day, and inspects all 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 goes and sends to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, saying, “The king of Moab has transgressed against me; do you go with me to Moab for battle?” And he says, “I go up, as I, so you; as my people, so your people; as my horses, so 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 says, “Where [is] this—the way we go up?” And he says, “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 goes, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom, and they turn around the way seven days, and there has been no water for the camp, and for the livestock that [are] at their feet,
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 says, “Aah! For YHWH has called for these three kings 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 Jehoshaphat says, “Is there not a prophet of YHWH here, and we seek YHWH by him?” And one of the servants of the king of Israel answers and says, “Here [is] Elisha son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.”
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 Jehoshaphat says, “The word of YHWH is with him”; and the king of Israel goes down to him, and Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom.
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 Elisha says to the king of Israel, “And what do I [have to do] with you? Go to the prophets of your father, and to the prophets of your mother”; and the king of Israel says to him, “No, for YHWH has called for these three kings to give them into the hand 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 Elisha says, “YHWH of Hosts lives, before whom I have stood; for unless I am lifting up the face of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I do not look to you, nor see 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, bring a musician to me”; and it has been, at the playing of the musician, that the hand of YHWH is on 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 says, “Thus said YHWH: Make this valley ditches—ditches;
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 said YHWH: You do not see wind, nor do you see rain, and that valley is full of water, and you have drunk—you, and your livestock, and your beasts.
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 has been light in the eyes of YHWH, and he has given 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 have struck every fortified city, and every choice city, and you cause every good tree to fall, and you stop all fountains of waters, and you mar every good portion 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 comes to pass in the morning, at the ascending of the [morning] present, that behold, waters are coming in from the way of Edom, and the land is filled with the waters,
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 of Moab has heard that the kings have come up to fight against them, and they are called together, from everyone girding on a girdle and upward, and they stand by 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 rise early in the morning, and the sun has shone on the waters, and the Moabites see, from opposite [them], [that] the waters [are] 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 say, “This [is] blood; the kings have been surely destroyed, and they each strike his neighbor; and now for spoil, 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 come to the camp of Israel, and Israel rises, and strikes the Moabites, and they flee from their face; and they enter into Moab, so as to strike Moab,
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 break down the cities, and they each cast his stone [on] every good portion, and have filled it, and they stop every fountain of water, and they cause every good tree to fall—until one had left its stones in Kir-Haraseth, and the slingers go around and strike 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 sees that the battle has been too strong for him, and he takes with him seven hundred men drawing sword, to cleave through to the king of Edom, and they have not been able,
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 takes his son, the firstborn who reigns in his stead, and causes him to ascend [as] a burnt-offering on the wall, and there is great wrath against Israel, and they journey from off him, and return to the 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
