2 Chronicles 11
1 And when Rehoboam had entered Jerusalem, he called together the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, warriors, —to fight against Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam.
茲にレハベアム、ヱルサレムに至りてユダとベニヤミンの家より倔強の武者十八萬を集め而してレハベアム國を己に歸さんためにイスラエルと戰はんとせしに
2 Then came the word of Yahweh, unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying:
ヱホバの言神の人シマヤに臨みて云ふ
3 Speak unto Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, —and unto all Israel in Judah and in Benjamin, saying:
ソロモンの子ユダの王レハベアムおよびユダとベニヤミンにあるイスラエルの人々に告て言べし
4 Thus, saith Yahweh, Ye shall not go up neither shall ye fight against your brethren, return every man to his own house, for, from me, hath this thing been brought about. So they hearkened unto the words of Yahweh, and turned back from going against Jeroboam.
ヱホバかく言ふ汝ら攻上るべからず又なんぢらの兄弟と戰ふべからず各々その家に歸れ此事は我より出たる者なりと彼ら乃はちヱホバの言にしたがひヤラベアムに攻ゆくことを止て歸れり
5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, —and built cities for defence, in Judah;
斯てレハベアム、ヱルサレムに居りユダに守衛の邑々を建たり
6 yea he built Bethlehem and Etam, and Tekoa;
即ちその建たる者はベテレヘム、エタム、テコア
7 and Beth-zur and Soco, and Adullam;
ベテズル｀シヨコ、アドラム
8 and Gath and Mareshah, and Ziph;
ガテ、マレシヤ、ジフ
9 and Adoraim and Lachish, and Azekah;
アドライム、ラキシ、アゼカ
10 and Zorah, and Aijalon and Hebron, which are in Judah and Benjamin, —as fortified cities.
ゾラ、アヤロン、ヘブロン是等はユダとベニヤミンにありて守衛の邑なり
11 And he strengthened the fortified places, —and put therein captains, and stores of food, and oil and wine;
彼その守衛の邑々を堅固にし之に軍長を置き糧食と油と酒とを貯はへ
12 and, in every several city, shields and spears, and made them exceedingly strong, —thus Judah and Benjamin remained his.
またその一切の邑に盾と矛とを備へて之を甚だ強からしむユダとベニヤミンこれに附り
13 And, the priests and Levites that were in all Israel, took their stand with him, out of all their boundaries.
イスラエルの全地の祭司とレビ人は四方の境より來りてレハベアムに投ず
14 For the Levites left their pasture lands, and their possessions, and came to Judah, and to Jerusalem, —for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, from ministering as priests unto Yahweh;
即ちレビ人はその郊地と產業とを離れてユダとヱルサレムに至れり是はヤラベアムとその子等かれらを廢して祭司の職をヱホバの前に爲しめざりし故なり
15 and appointed for himself priests for the high places, and for the demons—and for the calves which he had made.
ヤラベアムは崇邱と牡山羊と己が作れる犢とのために自ら祭司を立つ
16 And, after them—out of all the tribes of Israel, such as were setting their heart to seek Yahweh God of Israel, came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto Yahweh, God of their fathers.
またイスラエルの一切の支派の中凡てその心を傾むけてイスラエルの神ヱホバを求むる者はその先祖の神ヱホバに禮物を献げんとてレビ人にしたがひてヱルサレムに至れり
17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and emboldened Rehoboam son of Solomon, for three years, —for they walked in the way of David and Solomon, for three years.
是のごとく彼等ユダの國を固うしソロモンの子レハベアムをして三年の間強からしめたり即ち民は三年の間ダビデとソロモンの道に歩めり
18 And Rehoboam took him to wife, Mahalath, daughter of Jerimoth, son of David, —and Abihail, daughter of Eliab, son of Jesse;
レハベアムはダビデの子ヱレモテの女マハラテを妻に娶れりマハラテはヱッサイの子エリアブの女アビハイルの產し者なり
19 and she bare him sons, —Jeush and Shamariah and Zaham.
彼ヱウシ、シヤマリヤおよびザハムの三子を產む
20 And, after her, he took Maacah, daughter of Absolom, —and she bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
また之が後にアブサロムの女マアカを娶れり彼アビヤ、アツタイ、ジザおよびシロミテを產む
21 And Rehoboam loved Maacah daughter of Absolom, above all his wives and his concubines, for, eighteen wives, took he, and sixty concubines, —and begat twenty-eight sons, and sixty daughters.
レハベアムはアブサロムの女マアカをその一切の妻と妾とにまさりて愛せり彼は妻十八人妾六十人を取り男子二十八人女子六十人を擧く
22 So then Rehoboam appointed Abijah son of Maacah as head, to be chief ruler among his brethren, —yea that he might make him king.
レハベアム、マアカの子アビヤを王となさんと思ふが故に之を立て首となしその兄弟の長となせり
23 So he took heed, and dispersed all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, unto all the fortified cities, and gave them food in abundance, —and asked a multitude of wives.
斯るが故に慧く取行ひ其男子等を盡くユダとベニヤミンの地なる守衛の邑々に散し置き之に糧食を多く與へかつ衆多の妻を求得させたり
