2 Kings 22
1 Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.
ヨシアは八歳にして王となりヱルサレムにおいて三十一年世を治めたり其母はボヅカテのアダヤの女にして名をヱデダと曰ふ
2 He did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
ヨシアはヱホバの目に適ふ事をなしその父ダビデの道にあゆみて右にも左にも轉らざりき
3 It happened in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the LORD, saying,
ヨシア王の十八年に王メシユラムの子アザリヤの子なる書記官シヤパンをヱホバの家に遣せり即ちこれに言けらく
4 "Go up to Hilkiah the cohen hagadol, that he may melt down the silver which is brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the threshold have gathered of the people.
汝祭司の長ヒルキヤの許にのぼり行てヱホバの家にいりし銀すなはち門守が民よりあつめし者を彼に計算しめ
5 Let them deliver it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of the LORD; and let them give it to the workmen who are in the house of the LORD, to repair the breaches of the house,
工事を司どるヱホバの家の監督者の手にこれを付さしめ而してまた彼らをしてヱホの家にありて工事をなすところの者にこれを付さしめ殿の破壞を修理はしめよ
6 to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons, and for buying timber and cut stone to repair the house.
即ち工匠と建築者と石工にこれを付さしめ又これをもて殿を修理ふ材木と斫石を買しむべし
7 However there was no accounting made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand; for they dealt faithfully."
但し彼らは誠實に事をなせば彼らの手にわたすところの銀の計算をかれらとするには及ばざるなり
8 Hilkiah the cohen hagadol said to Shaphan the scribe, "I have found the scroll of the law in the house of the LORD." Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
時に祭司の長ヒルキヤ書記官シヤパンに言けるは我ヱホバの家において律法の書を見いだせりとヒルキヤすなはちその書をシヤパンにわたしたれば彼これを讀り
9 Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, "Your servants have emptied out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of the workmen who have the oversight of the house of the LORD."
かくて書記官シヤパン王の許にいたり王に返事まうして言ふ僕等殿にありし金を打あけてこれを工事を司どるヱホバの家の監督者の手に付せりと
10 Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, "Hilkiah the cohen has delivered a scroll to me." Shaphan read it before the king.
書記官シヤパンまた王につげて祭司ヒルキヤ我に一書をわたせりと言ひシヤパン其を王の前に讀けるに
11 It happened, when the king had heard the words of the scroll of the law, that he tore his clothes.
王その律法の書の言を聞やその衣を裂り
12 The king commanded Hilkiah the cohen, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king's servant, saying,
而して王祭司ヒルキヤとシヤパンの子アヒカムとミカヤの子アクボルと書記官シヤパンと王の内臣アサヤとに命じて言ふ
13 "Go inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this scroll that is found; for great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not listened to the words of this scroll, to do according to all that which is written concerning us."
汝等往てこの見當し書の言につきて我のため民のためユダ全國のためにヱホバに問へ其は我儕の先祖等はこの書の言に聽したがひてその凡て我儕のために記されたるところを行ふことをせざりしに因てヱホバの我儕にむかひて怒を發したまふこと甚だしかるべければなり
14 So Hilkiah the cohen, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter); and they talked with her.
是において祭司ヒルキヤ、アヒカム、アクボル、シヤパンおよびアサヤ等シヤルムの妻なる女預言者ホルダの許にいたれりシヤルムはハルハスの子なるテクワの子にして衣裳の室を守る者なり時にホルダはヱルサレムの下邑に住をる彼等すなはちホルダに物語せしかば
15 She said to them, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: 'Tell the man who sent you to me,
ホルダかれらに言けるはイスラエルの神ヱホバかく言たまふ汝等を我につかはせる人に告よ
16 "Thus says the LORD, 'Look, I will bring disaster on this place, and on its inhabitants, even all the words of the scroll which the king of Judah has read.
ヱホバかく言ふ我ユダの王が讀たるかの書の一切の言にしたがひて災害をこの處と此にすめる民に降さんとす
17 Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and it shall not be quenched.'"
彼等はわれを棄て他の神に香を焚きその手に作れる諸の物をもて我を怒らするなり是故に我この處にむかひて怒の火を發す是は滅ざるべし
18 But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus you shall tell him, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: 'Concerning the words which you have heard,
但し汝等をつかはして我に問しむるユダの王には汝等かく言べし汝が聞る言につきてイスラエルの神ヱホバかく言たまふ
19 because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before the LORD, when you heard what I spoke against this place, and against its inhabitants, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and have torn your clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard you,' says the LORD.
汝はわが此處と此にすめる民にむかひて是は荒地となり呪詛とならんと言しを聞たる時に心柔にしてヱホバの前に身を卑し衣を裂て吾前に泣たれば我もまた聽ことをなすなりヱホバこれを言ふ
20 'Therefore look, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, neither shall your eyes see all the disaster which I will bring on this place.'"'" They brought back this message to the king.
然ば視よ我なんぢを汝の先祖等に歸せしめん汝は安全に墓に歸することをうべし汝はわが此處にくだす諸の災害を目に見ることあらじと彼等すなはち王に返事まうしぬ
