2 Kings 23
1 The king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
是において王人をつかはしてユダとヱルサレムの長老をことごとく集め
2 The king went up to the house of Jehovah, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the scroll of the covenant which was found in the house of Jehovah.
而して王ヱホバの家にのぼれりユダの諸の人々ヱルサレムの一切の民および祭司預言者ならびに大小の民みな之にしたがふ王すなはちヱホバの家に見あたりし契約の書の言をことごとくかれらの耳に讀きかせ
3 The king stood by the pillar, and made a covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this scroll; and all the people stood to the covenant.
而して王高座の上に立てヱホバの前に契約をなしヱホバにしたがひて歩み心をつくし精神をつくしてその誡命と律法と法度を守り此書にしるされたる此契約の言をおこなはんと言り民みなその契約に加はりぬ
4 The king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring forth out of Jehovah's temple all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of heaven, and he burned them outside of Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel.
かくして王祭司の長ヒルキヤとその下にたつところの祭司等および門守等に命じてヱホバの家よりしてバアルとアシラと天の衆群との爲に作りたる諸の器と執いださしめヱルサレムの外にてキデロンの野にこれを燒きその灰をベテルに持ゆかしめ
5 He put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places around Jerusalem; those also who burned incense to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
又ユダの王等が立てダの邑々とヱルサレムの四圍なる崇邱に香をたかしめたる祭司等を廢しまたバアルと日月星宿と天の衆群とに香を焚く者等をも廢せり
6 He brought out the Asherah from the house of Jehovah, outside of Jerusalem, to the Kidron Valley, and burned it in the Kidron Valley, and beat it to dust, and cast its dust on the graves of the common people.
彼またヱホバの家よりアシラ像をとりいだしヱルサレムの外に持ゆきてキデロン川にいたりキデロン川においてこれを燒きこれを打碎きて粉となしその粉を民の墓に散し
7 He broke down the living quarters of the temple prostitutes, that were in the house of Jehovah, where the women wove coverings for the Asherah.
またヱホバの家の旁にある男娼の家を毀てり其處はまた婦人がアシラのために天幕を織ところなりき
8 He brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba; and he broke down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man's left hand at the gate of the city.
彼またユダの邑々より祭司をことごとく召よせまた祭司が香をたきたる崇邱をばゲバよりベエルシバまでこれを汚しまた門にある崇邱を毀てり是等の崇邱は一は邑の宰ヨシユアの門の入口にあり一は邑の門にありて之に入る人の左にあたる
9 Nevertheless the priests of the high places did not come up to the altar of Jehovah in Jerusalem, but they ate unleavened bread among their brothers.
崇邱の祭司等はエルサレムにおいてヱホバの壇にのぼることをせざりき但し彼等はその兄弟の中にありて無酵パンを食へり
10 He defiled Topheth, which is in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
王また人がその子息息女に火の中を通らしめて之をモロクにささぐることなからんためにベンヒンノムの谷にあるトペテを汚し
11 He took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entrance of the house of Jehovah, by the room of Nathan Melech the officer, who was in the court; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
またユダの王等が日のためにささげてヱホバの家の門における馬をうつせりこの馬はパルリムにある侍從ナタンメレクの室にをりしなり彼また日の車を皆火に焚り
12 The king broke down the altars that were on the roof of the upper room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of Jehovah, and beat them down from there, and cast their dust into the Kidron Valley.
またユダの王等がアハズの桜の屋背につくりたる祭壇とマナセがヱホバの家の兩の庭につくりたる祭壇とは王これを毀ちこれを其處より取くづしてその碎片をキデロン川になげ捨たり
13 The king defiled the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mountain of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the people of Ammon.
またイスラエルの王ソロモンが昔シドン人の憎むべき者なるアシタロテとモアブ人の憎むべき者なるケモシとアンモンの子孫の憎むべき者なるモロクのためにヱルサレムの前において殲滅山の右に築きたる崇邱も王これを汚し
14 He broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and filled their places with the bones of men.
また諸の像をうち碎きアシラ像をきりたふし人の骨をもてその處々に充せり
15 Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he broke down; and he burned the high place and beat it to dust, and burned the Asherah.
またベテルにある壇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が造りし崇邱すなはちその壇もその崇邱も彼これを毀ちその崇邱を焚てこれを粉にうち碎きかつアシラ像を焚り
16 And as Josiah turned himself, he saw the tombs that were there in the mountain. And he sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burned them on the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of Jehovah which the man of God proclaimed, when Jeroboam stood by the altar at the feast. And he turned and raised his eyes to the tomb of the man of God who proclaimed these things.
茲にヨシア身をめぐらして山に墓のあるを見人をやりてその墓より骨をとりきたらしめ之をその壇の上に焚てそれを汚せり即ち神の人が宣たるヱホバの言のごとし昔神の人この言語を宣しことありしなり
17 Then he said, "What monument is that which I see?" The men of the city told him, "It is the tomb of the man of God, who came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that you have done against the altar of Bethel."
ヨシアまた其處に見ゆる碑は何なるやと言しに邑の人々これに告て其は汝がベテルの壇にむかひて爲るこの事等をユダより來りて宣たる神の人の墓なりと言ければ
18 He said, "Let him be. Let no man move his bones." So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.
すなはち其には手をつくるなかれ誰もその骨を移すなかれと言り是をもてその骨とサマリヤより來りし預言者の骨には手をつけざりき
19 All the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke Jehovah to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
またイスラエルの王等がサマリヤの邑々に造りてヱホバを怒せし崇邱の家も皆ヨシアこれを取のぞき凡てそのベテルになせしごとくに之に事をなせり
20 He killed all the priests of the high places that were there, on the altars, and burned men's bones on them; and he returned to Jerusalem.
彼また其處にある崇邱の祭司等を壇の上にころし人の骨を壇の上に焚てヱルサレムに歸りぬ
21 The king commanded all the people, saying, "Keep the Passover to Jehovah your God, as it is written in this scroll of the covenant."
而して王一切の民に命じて言ふ汝らこの契約の書に記されたるごとくに汝らの神ヱホバに逾越の節を執行ふべしと
22 Surely there was not kept such a Passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
士師のイスラエルを治めし日より已來もまたユダの王等とイスラエルの王等の代にも斯のごとき逾越の節を守りしことはなかりしが
23 but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this Passover kept to Jehovah in Jerusalem.
ヨシア王の十八年にいたりてヱルサレムにて斯逾越節をヱホバに守りしなり
24 Moreover Josiah removed the mediums, and spiritists, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the scroll that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of Jehovah.
ヨシアまた祭司ヒルキヤがヱホバの家にて見いだせし書に記されたる律法の言を世におこなはんために口寄者と卜筮師とテラピムと偶像およびユダの地とヱルサレムに見ゆる諸の憎むべき者を取のぞけり
25 Like him was there no king before him, who turned to Jehovah with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
ヨシアの如くに心を盡し精神を盡し力を盡してモーセの法に全くしたがひてヱホに歸向せし王はヨシアの先にはあらざりきまた彼の後にも彼のごとき者はなし
26 Notwithstanding, Jehovah did not turn from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocation with which Manasseh had provoked him.
斯有しかどもヱホバはユダにむかひて怒を發したるその大いなる燃たつ震怒を息ることをしたまはざりき是はマナセ諸の憤らしき事をもてヱホバを怒らせしによるなり
27 Jehovah said, "I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, 'My name shall be there.'"
ヱホバすなはち言たまはく我イスラエルを移せし如くにユダをもわが目の前より拂ひ移し我が選みし此ヱルサレムの邑と吾名をそこに置んといひしこの殿とを棄べしと
28 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
ヨシアのその餘の行爲とその凡て爲たる事はユダの王の歴代志の書にしるさるるにあらずや
29 In his days Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Perath: and king Josiah went against him; and Pharaoh Necoh killed him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.
ヨシアの代にエジプトの王パロネコ、アッスリヤの王と戰はんとてユフラテ河をさして上り來しがヨシア王これを防がんとて進みゆきければ彼これに出あひてメギドンにこれを殺せり
30 His servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. The people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's place.
その僕等すなはちこれが死骸を車にのせてメギドンよりヱルサレムに持ゆきこれをその墓に葬れり國の民ここに於てヨシアの子ヱホアハズを取りこれに膏をそそぎて王となしてその父にかはらしめたり
31 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
ヱホアハズは王となれる時二十三歳にしてヱルサレムにて三月世を治めたりその母はリブナのエレミヤの女にして名をハムタルと云ふ
32 He did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers had done.
ヱホアハズはその先祖等が凡てなしたるごとくにヱホバの目の前に惡をなせしが
33 Pharaoh Necoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of one hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
パロネコ彼をハマテの地のリブラに繋ぎおきてヱルサレムにおいて王となりをることを得ざらしめ且銀百タラント金一タラントの罰金を國に課したり
34 Pharaoh Necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim: but he took Jehoahaz away; and he came to Egypt, and died there.
而してパロネコはヨシアの子エリアキムをしてその父ヨシアにかはりて王とならしめ彼の名をヱホヤキムと改めヱホアハズを曳て去ぬヱホアハズはエジプトにいたりて其處に死り
35 Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of everyone according to his taxation, to give it to Pharaoh Necoh.
ヱホヤキムは金銀をパロにおくれり即ち彼國に課してパロの命のままに金を出さしめ國の民各人に割つけて金銀を征取りてこれをパロネコにおくれり
36 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
ヱホヤキムは二十五歳にして王となりヱルサレムにおいて十一年世を治めたりその母はルマのペダヤの女にして名をゼブタと云ふ
37 He did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers had done.
ヱホヤキムはその先祖等が凡てなしたるごとくにヱホバの目の前に惡をなせり
