2 Chronicles 10
1 Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
爰にレハベアム、シケムに往り其はイスラエルみな彼を王となさんとてシケムに到りたればたり
2 It happened, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it, (for he was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of king Solomon), that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
ネバテの子ヤラベアムはさきにソロモン王の面を避てエジプトに逃れ居しがこのことを聞てエジプトより歸れり
3 They sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
人衆人を遣はして之を招きたるなり斯てヤラベアムとイスラエルの人みな來りてレハベアムに語りて言けるは
4 "Your father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make you the grievous service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you."
汝の父我らの軛を苦しくせり然ば汝今汝の父の苦しき役とその我らに蒙むらせたる重き軛を軽くしたまへ然れば我儕なんぢに事へん
5 He said to them, "Come again to me after three days." The people departed.
レハベアムかれらに言けるは汝ら三日を經て再び我に來れと民すなはち去り
6 King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, "What counsel do you give me to return answer to this people?"
是においてレハベアム王その父ソロモンの生る間これが前に立たる老人等に計りて言けるは汝ら如何に敎へて此民に答へしむるや
7 They spoke to him, saying, "If you are kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever."
彼らレハベアムに語りて言けるは汝もし此民を厚く待ひ之を悦こばせ善言を之に語らば永く汝の僕たらんと
8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.
然るに彼その老人等の敎へし敎を棄て自己とともに生長て己の前に立ところの少年等と計れり
9 He said to them, "What counsel do you give, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, 'Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter?'"
即ち彼らに言けるは汝ら如何に敎へて我らをして此我に語りて汝の父の我らに蒙むらせし軛を軽くせよと言ふ民に答へしむるやと
10 The young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, "Thus you shall tell the people who spoke to you, saying, 'Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter on us;' thus you shall say to them, 'My little finger is thicker than my father's waist.
彼とともに生長たる少年等かれに語りて言けるは汝に語りて汝の父我らの軛を重くしたれば汝これを我らのために軽くせよと言たる此民に汝かく答へ斯これに言べし吾小指は我父の腰よりも太し
11 Now whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.'"
我父は汝らに重き軛を負せたりしが我は更に汝らの軛を重くせん我父は鞭をもて汝らを懲せしが我は蠍をもて汝らを懲さんと
12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king asked, saying, "Come to me again the third day."
偖またヤラベアムと民等は皆王の告て第三日に再び我にきたれと言しごとく第三日にレハベアムに詣りしに
13 The king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
王荒々しく彼らに答へたり即ちレハベアム王老人の敎を棄て
14 and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, "My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it. My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions."
少年の敎のごとく彼らに告て言けるは我父は汝らの軛を重くしたりしが我は更に之を重くせん我父は鞭をもて汝らを懲せしが我は蠍をもて汝らを懲さんと
15 So the king did not listen to the people; for it was brought about of God, that the LORD might establish his word, which he spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
王かく民に聽ことをせざりき此事は神より出たる者にしてその然るはヱホバかつてシロ人アヒヤによりてネバテの子ヤラベアムに告たる言を成就んがためなり
16 When all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, "What portion have we in David? Neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to your tents, Israel. Now see to your own house, David." So all Israel departed to their tents.
イスラエルの民みな王の己に聽ざるを見しかば王に答へて言けるは我らダビデの中に何の分あらんやヱッサイの子の中には所有なしイスラエルよ汝ら各々その天幕に歸れダビデ族よ今おのれの家を顧みよと斯イスラエルは皆その天幕に歸れり
17 But as for the children of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
但しユダの邑々に住るイスラエルの子孫の上にはレハベアムなほ王たりき
18 Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the men subject to forced labor; and the children of Israel stoned him to death with stones. King Rehoboam made speed to get himself up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
レハベアム王役夫の頭なるアドラムを遣はしけるにイスラエルの子孫石をもてこれを撃て死しめたればレハベアム王急ぎてその車に登りてエルサレムに逃かへれり
19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day.
是のごとくイスラエルはダビデの家に背きて今日にいたる
