2 Kings 17
1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah began to reign in Samaria over Israel for nine years.
ユダの王アハズの十二年にエラの子ホセア王となりサマリヤにおいて九年イスラエルを治めたり
2 He did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, yet not as the kings of Israel who were before him.
彼ヱホバの目の前に惡をなせしがその前にありしイスラエルの王等のごとくはあらざりき
3 Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and brought him tribute.
アッスリヤの王シヤルマネセル攻のぼりたればホセアこれに臣服して貢を納たりしが
4 The king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.
アッスリヤの王つひにホセアの己に叛けるを見たり其は彼使者をエジプトの王ソにおくり且前に歳々なせしごとくに貢をアッスリヤ王に納ざりければなり是においてアツスリヤの王かれを禁錮て獄におけり
5 Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
すなはちアッスリヤの王せめ上りて國中を遍くゆきめぐりサマリヤにのぼりゆきて三年が間これをせめ圍みたりしが
6 In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away to Assyria, and placed them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
ホセアの九年におよびてアッスリヤの王つひにサマリヤを取りイスラエルをアッスリヤに擄へゆきてこれをハラとハボルとゴザン河の邊とメデアの邑々とにおきぬ
7 It was so, because the children of Israel had sinned against Jehovah their God, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,
此事ありしはイスラエルの子孫己をエジプトの地より導きのぼりてエジプトの王パロの手を脱しめたるその神ヱホバに對て罪を犯し他の神々を敬ひ
8 and walked in the statutes of the nations, whom Jehovah cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they made.
ヱホバがイスラエルの子孫の前より逐はらひたまひし異邦人の法度にあゆみ又イスラエルの王等の設けし法度にあゆみたるに因てなり
9 The children of Israel did secretly things that were not right against Jehovah their God: and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city;
イスラエルの子孫義からぬ事をもてその神ヱホバを掩ひかくしその邑々に崇邱をたてたり看守臺より城にいたるまで然り
10 and they set them up pillars and Asherim on every high hill, and under every green tree;
彼等一切の高丘の上一切の靑樹の下に偶像とアシラ像を立て
11 and there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the nations whom Jehovah carried away before them; and they worked wicked things to provoke Jehovah to anger;
ヱホバがかれらの前より移したまひし異邦人のなせしごとくにその崇邱に香を焚き又惡を行ひてヱホバを怒らせたり
12 and they served idols, of which Jehovah had said to them, "You shall not do this thing."
ヱホバかれらに汝等これらの事を爲べからずと言おきたまひしに彼等偶像に事ふることを爲しなり
13 Yet Jehovah testified to Israel, and to Judah, by every prophet, and every seer, saying, "Turn from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets."
ヱホバ諸の預言者諸の先見者によりてイスラエルとユダに見證をたて汝等翻へりて汝らの惡き道を離れわが誡命わが法度をまもり我が汝等の先祖等に命じまたわが僕なる預言者等によりて汝等に傳へし法に率由ふやうにせよと言たまへり
14 Notwithstanding, they would not listen, but hardened their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who did not believe in Jehovah their God.
然るに彼ら聽ことをせずしてその項を強くせり彼らの先祖等がその神ヱホバを信ぜずしてその項を強くしたるが如し
15 They rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified to them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and followed the nations that were around them, concerning whom Jehovah had commanded them that they should not do like them.
彼等はヱホバの法度を棄てヱホバがその先祖等と結びたまひし契約を棄てまたその彼等に見證したまひし證言を棄て且虚妄物にしたがひて虚浮なりまたその周圍なる異邦人の跡をふめり是はヱホバが是のごとくに事をなすべからずと彼らに命じ給ひし者なり
16 They forsook all the commandments of Jehovah their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.
彼等その神ヱホバの諸の誡命を遺て己のために二の牛の像を鑄なし又アシラ像を造り天の衆群を拝み且バアルに事へ
17 They caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, practiced divination and sorcery, and sold themselves to do that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
またその子息息女に火の中を通らしめ卜筮および禁厭をなしヱホバの目の前に惡を爲ことに身を委ねてその怒を惹起せり
18 Therefore Jehovah was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.
是をもてヱホバ大にイスラエルを怒りこれをその前より除きたまひたればユダの支派のほかは遺れる者なし
19 Also Judah did not keep the commandments of Jehovah their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.
然るにユダもまたその神ヱホバの誡命を守ずしてイスラエルの立たる法度にあゆみたれば
20 Jehovah rejected all the descendants of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of plunderers, until he had cast them out of his sight.
ヱホバ、イスラエルの苗裔ぞことごとく棄これを苦しめこれをその掠むる者の手に付して遂にこれをその前より打すてたまへり
21 For he tore Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drove Israel from following Jehovah, and made them sin a great sin.
すなはちイスラエルをダビデの家より裂はなしたまひしかばイスラエル、ネバテの子ヤラベアムを王となせしにヤラベアム、イスラエルをしてヱホバにしたがふことを止しめてこれに大なる罪を犯さしめたりしが
22 The children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they did not depart from them;
イスラエルの子孫はヤラベアムのなせし諸の罪をおこなひつづけてこれに離るることなかりければ
23 until Jehovah removed Israel out of his sight, as he spoke by all his servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria to this day.
遂にヱホバその僕なる諸の預言者をもて言たまひしごとくにイスラエルをその前より除きたまへりイスラエルはすなはちその國よりアッスリヤにうつされて今日にいたる
24 The king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they possessed Samaria, and lived in the cities of it.
斯てアッスリヤの王バビロン、クタ、アワ、ハマテおよびセパルワイムより人をおくりてこれをイスラエルの子孫の代にサマリヤの邑々に置ければその人々サマリヤを有ちてその邑々に住しが
25 So it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they did not fear Jehovah: therefore Jehovah sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
その彼處に始て住る時には彼等ヱホバを敬ふことをせざりしかばヱホバ獅子をかれらの中に送りたまひてその獅子かれら若干を殺せり
26 Therefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, "The nations which you have carried away, and placed in the cities of Samaria, do not know the law of the god of the land. Therefore he has sent lions among them, and look, they kill them, because they do not know the law of the god of the land."
是によりてアッスリヤの王に告て言ふ汝が移てサマリヤの邑々におきたまひしかの國々の民はこの地の神の道を知ざるが故にその神獅子をかれらの中におくりて獅子かれらを殺せり是は彼等その國の神の道を知ざるに因てなり
27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, "Carry there one of the priests whom you brought from there; and let him go and live there, and let him teach them the law of the god of the land."
アッスリヤの王すなはち命を下して言ふ汝等が彼處より曳きたりし祭司一人を彼處に携ゆけ即ち彼をして彼處にいたりて住しめその國の神の道をその人々に敎へしめよと
28 So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and lived in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear Jehovah.
是に於てサマリヤより移れし祭司一人きたりてベテルに住みヱホバの敬ふべき事をかれらに敎へたり
29 However every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities in which they lived.
その民はまた各々自分自分の神々を造りてこれをかのサマリア人が造りたる諸の崇邱に安置せり民みなその住る邑々において然なしぬ
30 The men of Babylon made Succoth Benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
即ちバビロンの人々はスコテペノテを作りクタの人々はネルガルを作りハマテの人々はアシマを作り
31 and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
アビ人はニブハズとタルタクを作りセパルワイ人は其子女を火に焚てセパルワイムの神アデランメルクおよびアナンメルクに奉げたり
32 And they worshiped Jehovah, yet they established their abominations in the houses of the high places which they made in Samaria, each nation in the city in which they dwelt. And they worshiped Jehovah, yet appointed from among themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
彼ら又ヱホバを敬ひ凡俗の民をもて崇邱の祭司となしたれば其人これがために崇邱に家々にて職務をなせり
33 And they worshiped Jehovah, yet served their own gods, after the ways of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.
斯その人々ヱホバを敬ひたりしが亦その携へ出されし國々の風俗にしたがひて自己自己の神々に事へたり
34 To this day they do what they did before: they do not fear Jehovah, neither do they follow their statutes, or their ordinances, or the law or the commandment which Jehovah commanded the descendants of Jacob, whom he named Israel;
今日にいたるまで彼等は前の習俗にしたがひて事をなしヱホバを敬はず彼等の法度をも例典をも行はず又ヱホバがイスラエルを名けたまひしヤコブの子孫に命じたまひし律法をも誡命をも行はざるなり
35 with whom Jehovah had made a covenant, and commanded them, saying, "You shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them;
昔ヱホバこれと契約をたてこれに命じて言たまひけらく汝等は他の神を敬ふべからずまたこれを拝みこれに事へこれに犠牲をささぐべからず
36 but you shall fear Jehovah, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, and you shall bow yourselves to him, and you shall sacrifice to him.
只大なる能をもて腕を伸て汝等をエジプトの地より導き上りしヱホバをのみ汝等敬ひこれを拝みこれにこれに犠牲をささぐべし
37 The statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do forevermore. You shall not fear other gods.
またその汝等のために録したまへる法度と例典と律法と誡命を汝等謹みて恒に守るべし他の神々を敬ふべからず
38 You shall not forget the covenant that I have made with you; neither shall you fear other gods.
我が汝等とむすびし契約を汝等忘るべからず又他の神々を敬ふべからず
39 But you shall fear Jehovah your God; and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies."
只汝らの神ヱホバを敬ふべし彼なんじらをその諸の敵の手より救ひいださん
40 However they did not listen, but they did what they did before.
然るに彼等は聽ことをせずしてなほ前の習俗にしたがひて事を行へり
41 So these nations feared Jehovah, and served their engraved images. Their children likewise, and their children's children, as their fathers did, so they do to this day.
偖この國々の民は斯ヱホバを敬ひまたその雕める像に事たりしがその子も孫も共に然りその先祖のなせしごとくに今日までも然なすなり
