2 Kings 19
1 And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.
ヒゼキヤ王これを聞てその衣を裂き麻布を身にまとひてヱホバの家に入り
2 And he sent Eliakim, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
宮内卿エリアキムと書記官セブナと祭司の中の長老等とに麻布を衣せてこれをアモツの子預言者イザヤに遣せり
3 And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of contumely: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
彼等イザヤに言けるはヒゼキヤかく言ふ今日は艱難の日懲罰の日打棄らるる日なり嬰孩すでに產門にいたりて之を產いだす力なき也
4 It may be the LORD thy God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left.
ラブシヤケその主君なるアッスリヤの王に差遣れて來り活る神を謗る汝の神ヱホバあるひは彼の言を聞たまはん而して汝の神ヱホバその聞る言語を責罰たまふこともあらん然ば汝この遺る者の爲に祈祷をたてまつれと
5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
ヒゼキヤ王の僕等すなはちイザヤの許にいたりければ
6 And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
イザヤかれらに言けるは汝等の主君にかく言べしヱホバかく言たまふアッスリヤの王の臣僕等が我を謗るところの言を汝聞て懼るるなかれ
7 Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he shall hear a rumour, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
我かれの氣をうつして風聲を聞て己の國にかへるにいたらしめん我また彼をして自己の國に於て劍に斃れしむべしと
8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
偖またラブシヤケは歸りゆきてアッスリヤの王がリブナに戰爭をなしをるとこるに至れり其は彼そのラキシを離れしを聞たればなり
9 And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight against thee: he sent messengers again unto Hezekiah, saying,
茲にアッスリヤの王はエテオピアの王テルハカ汝に攻きたると言ふを聞てまた使者をヒゼキヤにつかはして言しむ
10 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
汝等ユダの王ヒゼキヤに告て言べし汝エルサレムはアッスリヤの王の手に陷らじと言て汝が賴むところの神に欺かるるなかれ
11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered?
汝はアッスリヤの王等が萬の國々になしたるところの事を知る即ちこれを滅しつくせしなり然ば汝いかで救らんや
12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Edom which were in Telassar?
吾父等はゴザン、ハラン、レゼフおよびテラサルのエデンの人々等を滅ぼせしがその國々の神これを救ひたりしや
13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?
ハマテの王アルバデの王セバルワイムの邑およびヘナとアワの王等は何處にあるや
14 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
ヒゼキヤ使者の手より書を受てこれを讀みヱホバの家にのぼりゆきてヱホバの前にこれを展開げ
15 And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD, the God of Israel, that sittest upon the cherubim, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.
而してヒゼキヤ、ヱホバの前に祈りて言けるはケルビムの間にいますイスラエルの神ヱホバよ世の國々の中において只汝のみ神にいます也汝は天地を造りたまひし者にいます
16 Incline thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open thine eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, wherewith he hath sent him to reproach the living God.
ヱホバよ耳を傾けて聞たまへヱホバよ目を開きて見たまへセナケリブが活る神を謗りにおくれる言語を聞たまへ
17 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,
ヱホバよ誠にアッスリヤの王等は諸の民とその國々を滅し
18 and have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed them.
又その神々を火になげいれたり其等は神にあらず人の手の作れる者にして木石たればこれを滅せしなり
19 Now therefore, O LORD our God, save thou us, I beseech thee, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD God, even thou only.
今われらの神ヱホバよ願くは我らをかれの手より拯ひいだしたまへ然ば世の國々皆汝ヱホバのみ神にいますことを知にいたらん
20 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard [thee].
茲にアモツの子イザヤ、ヒゼキヤに言つかはしけるはイスラエルの神ヱホバかく言たまふ汝がセナケリブの事につきて我に祈るところの事は我これを聽り
21 This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion hath despised thee and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
ヱホバが彼の事につきて言ふところの言語は是のごとし云く處女なる女子シオンは汝を藐視じ汝を嘲る女子エルサレムは汝にむかひて頭を搖る
22 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice and lifted up thine eyes on high? [even] against the Holy One of Israel.
汝誰を謗りかつ罵詈しや汝誰にむかひて聲をあげしや汝はイスラエルの聖者にむかひて汝の目を高く擧たるなり
23 By thy messengers thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into his farthest lodging place, the forest of his fruitful field.
汝使者をもて主を謗て言ふ我夥多き兵車をひきゐて山々の嶺にのぼりレバノンの奧にいたり長高き香柏と美しき松樹を斫たふす我その境の休息所にいたりその園の林にいたる
24 I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet will I dry up all the rivers of Egypt.
我は外國の地をほりて水を飮む我は足の跖をもてエジプトの河々をことごとくふみ涸すなり
25 Hast thou not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps.
汝聞ずや昔われ之を作し古時よりわれ之を定めたり今われ之をおこなふ即ち堅き邑々は汝のために坵墟となるなり
26 Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.
是をもてそれらの中にすむ民は力弱かり懼れかつ驚くなり彼等は野の草のごとく靑菜のごとく屋蓋の草のごとく枯る苗のごとし
27 But I know thy sitting down, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against me.
汝の止ると汝の出ると汝の入と汝の我にむかひて怒くるふとは我の知ところなり
28 Because of thy raging against me, and for that thine arrogancy is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
汝の怒くるふ事と汝の傲慢ところの事上りてわが耳にいりたれば我圏を汝の鼻につけ轡を汝の唇にほどこして汝を元來し道へひきかへすべし
29 And this shall be the sign unto thee: ye shall eat this year that which groweth of itself, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
是は汝にあたふる徴なり即ち一年は穭を食ひ第二年には又その穭を食ふあらん第三年には汝ら稼ことをし穡ことをし又葡萄園をつくりてその果を食ふべし
30 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
ユダの家の逃れて遺れる者は復根を下に張り實を上に結ばん
31 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that shall escape: the zeal of the LORD shall perform this.
即ち殘餘者エルサレムより出で逃避たる者シオン山より出きたらんヱホバの熱心これを爲べし
32 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come unto this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast a mount against it.
故にヱホバ、アッスリヤの王の事をかく言たまふ彼は此邑に入じ亦これに矢を發つことあらず楯を之にむかひて竪ることあらず亦壘をきづきてこれを攻ることあらじ
33 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come unto this city, saith the LORD.
彼はその來し路より歸らん此邑にいることあらじヱホバこれを言ふ
34 For I will defend this city to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
我わが身のため又わが僕ダビデのためにこの邑を守りてこれを救ふべし
35 And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when men arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
その夜ヱホバの使者いでてアッスリヤ人の陣營の者十八萬五千人を撃ころせり朝早く起いでて見るに皆死て屍となりをる
36 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
アッスリヤの王セナケリブすなはち起いで歸りゆきてニネベに居しが
37 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.
その神ニスロクの家にありて禮拝をなしをる時にその子アデランメレクとシヤレゼル劍をもてこれを殺せり而して彼等はアララテの池に逃ゆけり是においてその子エサルハドンこれに代りて王となれり
