< 2 Chronicles 18 >

1 Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and he joined affinity with Ahab.
ヨシヤパテは富と貴とを極めアハブと縁を結べり
2 After certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. Ahab killed sheep and cattle for him in abundance, and for the people who were with him, and moved him to go up with him to Ramoth Gilead.
かれ數年の後サマリアに下りてアハブを訪ければアハブ彼およびその部從のために牛羊を多く宰りギレアデのラモテに倶に攻上らんことを彼に勸む
3 Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, "Will you go with me to Ramoth Gilead?" He answered him, "I am as you are, and my people as your people. We will be with you in the war."
すなはちイスラエルの王アハブ、ユダの王ヨシヤパテに言けるは汝我とともにギレアデのラモテに攻ゆくやヨシヤパテこれに答へけるは我は汝のごとく我民は汝の民のごとし汝とともに戰門に臨まんと
4 Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "Please inquire first for the word of the LORD."
ヨシヤパテまたイスラエルの王に言けるは請ふ今日ヱホバの言を問たまへと
5 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, "Shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I refrain?" They said, "Go up; for God will deliver it into the hand of the king."
是においてイスラエルの王預言者四百人を集めて之に言けるは我らギレアデのラモテに往て戰ふべきや又は罷べきや彼等いひけるは攻上りたまへ神これを王の手に付したまふべしと
6 But Jehoshaphat said, "Isn't there here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we may inquire of him?"
ヨシヤパテいひけるは此外に我らの由て問べきヱホバの預言者此にあらざるや
7 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD; but I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil. He is Micaiah the son of Imla." Jehoshaphat said, "Do not let the king say so."
イスラエルの王こたへてヨシヤパテに言けるは外になほ一人あり我ら之によりてヱホバに問ことを得ん然ど彼は今まで我につきて善事を預言せず恒に惡き事のみを預言すれば我彼を惡むなり其者は即ちイムラの子ミカヤなりと然るにヨシヤパテこたへて王しか宣ふ勿れと言ければ
8 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, "Get Micaiah the son of Imla quickly."
イスラエルの王一人の官吏を呼てイムラの子ミカヤを急ぎ來らしめよと言り
9 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, and they were sitting in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
イスラエルの王およびユダの王ヨシヤパテは朝衣を纏ひサマリアの門の入口の廣場にて各々その位に坐し居り預言者は皆その前に預言せり
10 Zedekiah the son of Kenaanah made him horns of iron, and said, "Thus says the LORD, 'With these you shall push the Arameans, until they are consumed.'"
時にケナアナの子ゼデキヤ鐵の角を造りて言けるはヱホバかく言たまふ汝是等をもてスリア人を衝て滅ぼし盡すべしと
11 All the prophets prophesied so, saying, "Go up to Ramoth Gilead, and prosper; for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king."
預言者みな斯預言して云ふギレアデのラモテに攻上りて勝利を得たまへヱホバこれを王の手に付したまふべしと
12 The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, "Look, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth. Let your word therefore, please be like one of theirs, and speak good."
茲にミカヤを召んとて往たる使者これに語りて言けるは預言者等の言は一の口より出るがごとくにして王に善し請ふ汝の言をも彼らの一人のごとくなして善事を言ヘ
13 Micaiah said, "As the LORD lives, whatever my God says to me, that I will speak."
ミカヤ言けるはヱホバは活く我神の宣ふ所を我は陳べんと
14 When he had come to the king, the king said to him, "Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I refrain?" He said, "Go up, and prosper. They shall be delivered into your hand."
かくて王に至るに王彼に言けるはミカヤよ我らギレアデのラモテに往て戰かふべきや又は罷べきや彼言けるは上りゆきて利を得たまへ彼らは汝の手に付されんと
15 The king said to him, "How many times shall I adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of the LORD?"
王かれに言けるは我幾度なんぢを誓はせたらば汝ヱホバの名をもて唯眞實のみを我に告るや
16 He said, "I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. The LORD said, 'These have no master. Let them return every man to his house in peace.'"
彼言けるは我イスラエルが皆牧者なき羊のごとく山に散をるを見たるがヱホバ是等の者は主なし各々やすらかに其家に歸るべしと言たまへり
17 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?"
イスラエルの王是においてヨシヤパテに言けるは我なんぢに告て彼は善事を我に預言せず只惡き事のみを預言せんと言しに非ずやと
18 Micaiah said, "Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.
ミカヤまた言けるは然ば汝らヱホバの言を聽べし我視しにヱホバその位に坐し居たまひて天の萬軍その傍に右左に立をりしが
19 The LORD said, 'Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?' One spoke saying in this way, and another saying in that way.
ヱホバ言たまひけるは誰かイスラエルの王アハブを誘ひて彼をしてギレアデのラモテにのぼりゆきて彼處に斃れしめんかと即ち一は此ごとくせんと言ひ一は彼ごとくせんと言ければ
20 A spirit came out, stood before the LORD, and said, 'I will entice him.' "The LORD said to him, 'How?'
遂に一の霊すすみ出てヱホバの前に立ち我かれを誘はんと言たればヱホバ何をもてするかと之に問たまふに
21 "He said, 'I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' "He said, 'You will entice him, and will prevail also. Go forth, and do so.'
我いでて虚言を言ふ霊となりてその諸の預言者の口にあらんと言りヱホバ言たまひけるは汝は誘なひ且これを成就ん出て然すべしと
22 "Now therefore, look, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets; and the LORD has pronounced disaster concerning you."
故に視よヱホバ虚言を言ふ霊を汝のこの預言者等の口に入たまへり而してヱホバ汝に災禍を降さんと定めたまふと
23 Then Zedekiah the son of Kenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, "Which way did the Spirit of the LORD go from me to speak to you?"
時にケナアナの子ゼデキヤ近よりてミカヤの頬を批て言けるはヱホバの霊何の途より我を離れゆきて汝と言ふや
24 Micaiah said, "Look, you shall see on that day, when you shall go into an inner room to hide yourself."
ミカヤ言けるは汝奧の室にいりて身を匿す日に見るべし
25 The king of Israel said, "Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;
イスラエルの王いひけるはミカヤを取てこれを邑の宰アモンおよび王の子ヨアシに曳かへりて言べし
26 and say, 'Thus says the king, "Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace."'"
王かく言ふ我が安然に歸るまで比者を牢にいれて苦惱のパンを食せ苦惱の水を飮せよと
27 Micaiah said, "If you return at all in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me." He said, "Listen, you peoples, all of you."
ミカヤ言けるは汝もし眞に平安に歸るならばヱホバ我によりて斯宣ひし事あらずと而してまた言り汝ら民よ皆聽べしと
28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.
かくてイスラエルの王およびユダの王ヨシヤパテはギレアデのラモテに上りゆけり
29 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but you put on your robes." So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went into the battle.
イスラエルの王時にヨシヤパテに言けるは我は服装を變て戰陣の中にいらん汝は朝衣を纒ひたまへとイスラエルの王すなはち服装を變へ二人倶に戰陣の中にいれり
30 Now the king of Aram had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, "Fight neither with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel."
スリアの王その戰車の長等にかねて命じおけり云く汝ら小き者とか大なる者とも戰ふなかれ惟イスラエルの王とのみ戰へと
31 It happened, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, "It is the king of Israel." Therefore they turned around to fight against him. But Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.
戰車の長等ヨシヤパテを見て是はイスラエルの王ならんと言ひ身をめぐらして之と戰はんとせしがヨシヤパテ號呼ければヱホバこれを助けたまへり即ち神彼らを感動して之を離れしめたまふ
32 It happened, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
戰車の長等彼がイスラエルの王にあらざるを見しかば之を追ことをやめて引返せり
33 A certain man drew his bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor. Therefore he said to the driver of the chariot, "Turn your hand, and carry me out of the army; for I am severely wounded."
茲に一箇の人何心なく弓を彎てイスラエルの王の胸當と草摺の間に射あてたれば彼その御者に言けるは我傷を受たれば汝手を旋らして我を軍中より出せと
34 The battle increased that day. However the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot against the Arameans until the evening; and about the time of the going down of the sun, he died.
此日戰爭烈しくなりぬイスラエルの王は車の中に自ら扶持て立ち薄暮までスリア人をささへをりしが日の沒る頃にいたりて死り
