2 Kings 10
1 Now, Ahab, had seventy sons in Samaria, —so Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel—the elders, and unto them who had been foster-parents for Ahab, saying:
アハブ、サマリヤに七十人の子あり茲にヱヒウ書をしたためてサマリヤにおくり邑の牧伯等と長老等とアハブの子等の師傳等とに傳へて云ふ
2 Now, therefore, when this letter cometh in unto you, there being, with you, the sons of your lord, —and, with you, the chariots and the homes, and a fortified city, and the armour,
汝らの主の子等汝らとともにあり又汝等は車も馬も城もあり且武器もあれば此書汝らの許にいたらば
3 ye shall look out the goodliest and fittest of the sons of your lord, and set on the throne of his father, and ye shall do battle for the house of your lord.
汝らの主の子等の中より最も優れる方正き者を選みだ出してその父の位に置ゑ汝等の主の家のために戰へよ
4 Then feared they very greatly, and said, Lo! two kings, stood not before him; how then, should, we, stand?
彼ら大に恐れて言ふ二人の王等すでに彼に當ることを得ざりしなれば我儕いかでか當ることを得んと
5 So he that was over the house, and he that was over the city, and the elders, and the foster-parents sent unto Jehu, saying—Thy servants, we are! and, all that thou shalt say unto us, will we do, —we will make no man king, whatsoever is good in thine own eyes, do!
乃ち家宰邑宰長老師傳等ヱヒウに言おくりけるは我儕は汝の僕なり凡て汝が我儕に命ずる事を爲ん我儕は王を立るを好まず汝の目に善と見ゆる所を爲せ
6 Then wrote he unto them a second letter, saying—If, mine, ye are, and, unto my voice, ye intend to hearken, take ye the heads of the men who are sons of your lord, and come in unto me about this time to-morrow, in Jezreel. Now, the sons of the king, seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who had been bringing them up.
是においてヱヒウ再度かれらに書をおくりて云ふ汝らもし我に與き我言にしたがふならば汝らの主の子なる人々の首をとりて明日の今頃ヱズレルにきたりて吾許にいたれと當時王の子七十人はその師傳なる邑の貴人等とともに居る
7 And it came to pass, when the letter reached them, that they took the sons of the king, and slew them, seventy persons, —and put their heads in baskets, and sent unto him to Jezreel.
その書かれらに至りしかば彼等王の子等をとらへてその七十人をことごとく殺しその首を籃につめてこれをヱズレルのヱヒウの許につかはせり
8 And there came in a messenger and told him, saying, They have brought in the heads of the sons of the king. And he said—Lay ye them in two heaps, at the entrance of the gate, until the morning.
すなはち使者いたりてヱヒウに告て人衆王の子等の首をたづさへ來れりと言ければ明朝までそれを門の入口に二山に積おけと言り
9 And it came to pass, in the morning, that he went out and took his stand, and said unto all the people, Righteous, are, ye! Lo! I, conspired against my lord, and slew him, but, who, smote, all these?
朝におよび彼出て立ちすべての民に言ふ汝等は義し我はわが主にそむきて之を弑したり然ど此すべての者等を殺せしは誰なるぞや
10 Know ye, then, that there shall fall nought of the word of Yahweh, to the ground, which Yahweh spake concerning the house of Ahab, —but, Yahweh, hath done that which he spake through his servant Elijah.
然ば汝等知れヱホバがアハブの家につきて告たまひしヱホバの言は一も地に隕ず即ちヱホバはその僕エリヤによりて告し事を成たまへりと
11 Then Jehu smote all that were left remaining unto the house of Ahab, in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his acquaintances and his priests, —until there was not left remaining to him, a survivor.
斯てヱヒウはアハブの家に屬する者のヱズレルに遺れるを盡く殺しまたその一切の重立たる者その親き者およびその祭司等を殺して彼に屬する者を一人も遺さざりき
12 Then arose he, and came in, and departed for Samaria, —the sheep-shearing house itself being on the road;
ヱヒウすなはち起て往てサマリヤに至りしがヱヒウ途にある時牧者の集會所において
13 so, Jehu, lighted upon the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are, ye? And they said—Brethren of Ahaziah, are, we; so we came down to salute the sons of the king, and the sons of the queen.
ユダの王アハジアの兄弟等に遇ひ汝等は何人なるやと言けるに我儕はアハジアの兄弟なるが王の子等と王母の子等の安否を問んとて下るなりと答へたれば
14 Then said he, —Take them alive. So they took them alive, and slew them [casting them] into the pit of the shearing house, —forty-two men, neither left he remaining a man of them.
彼等を生擒れと言り即ちかれらを生擒りその集會所の穴の側にて彼等四十二人を盡く殺し一人をも遺さざりき
15 Then departed he from thence, and lighted on Jehonadab son of Rechab coming to meet him, and he blessed him, and said unto him—Is thy heart, right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab said—It is. Then, if it is, give me thy hand. So he gave him his hand. And he took him up to him, into the chariot;
斯てヱヒウ其處より進みゆきしがレカブの子ヨナダブの己を迎にきたるに遭ければその安否をとふてこれに汝の心はわが心の汝の心と同一なるがごとくに眞實なるやと言けるにヨナダブ答へて眞實なりと言たれば然ば汝の手を我に伸よと言ひその手を伸ければ彼を挽て己の車に登らしめて
16 and said—Do come with me, and see my jealousy for Yahweh. So he made him ride in his chariot.
言ふ我とともに來りて我がヱホバに熱心なるを見よと斯かれを己の車に乗しめ
17 And, when he came into Samaria, he smote all that were left remaining unto Ahab, in Samaria, until he had destroyed him, —according to the word of Yahweh, which he had spoken unto Elijah.
サマリヤにいたりてアハブに屬する者のサマリヤに遺れるを盡く殺して遂にその一族を滅せりヱホバのエリヤに告たまひし言語のごとし
18 Then Jehu gathered together all the people, and said unto them, —Ahab, served Baal, a little, —Jehu, will serve him, much.
茲にヱヒウ民をことごとく集てこれに言けるはアハブは少くバアルに事たるがヱヒウは大にこれに事へんとす
19 Now, therefore, all the prophets of Baal, all his servants and all his priests, call ye for me; do not let, a man, be missing; for, a great sacrifice, have I, to Baal, no one that is missing, shall live. But, Jehu, acted, craftily, to the end he might destroy the servants of Baal.
然ば今バアルの諸の預言者諸の臣僕諸の祭司等を我許に召せ一人も來らざる者なからしめよ我大なる祭祀をバアルのためになさんとするなり凡て來らざる者は生しおかじと但しヱヒウ、バアルの僕等を滅さんとて偽りて斯なせるなり
20 And Jehu said—Hallow ye a solemn festival unto Baal. And they made proclamation.
ヱヒウすなはちバアルの祭禮を設よと言ければ之を宣たり
21 And Jehu sent throughout all Israel, and all the servants of Baal came in, so that there was not left remaining a man, who had not come in, —and they entered the house of Baal, and the house of Baal was filled, from door to door.
是てヱヒウあまねくイスラエルに人をつかはしたればバアルの僕たる者皆きたれり一人も來らずして遺れるものはあらざりき彼等バアルの家にいりたればバアルの家は末より末まで充わたれり
22 Then said he to him who was over the wardrobe chamber, Bring forth vestments for all the servants of Baal. And he brought forth for them the vestments.
時にヱヒウ衣裳を掌どる者てむかひ禮服をとりいだしてバアルの凡の僕等にあたへよといひければすなはち禮服をとりいだせり
23 Then entered Jehu, with Jehonadab son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, —and he said unto the servants of Baal—Search ye and see, that there be not here, with you, any of the servants of Yahweh, none but the servants of Baal, alone.
斯ありてヱヒウはレカブの子ヨナダブとともにバアルの家にいりしがバアルの僕等に言ふ汝等尋ね見て此には只バアルの僕のみあらしめヱホバの僕を一人も汝らの中にあらしめざれと
24 And, when they entered to offer sacrifices and ascending-offerings, Jehu, set him, outside, eighty men, and said—The man who shall escape, of the men whom I am bringing into your power, his own life, shall be for, his life.
彼等犠牲と燔祭を献げんとて入し時ヱヒウ八十人の者を外に置て言ふ凡てわがその手にわたすところの人を一人にても逃れしむる者は己の生命をもてその人の生命に代べしと
25 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the ascending-sacrifice, that Jehu said to the runners and to the officers—Enter, smite them, let not, a man, get out. So they smote them, with the edge of the sword, —and the runners and the officers cast them out, and then went as far as the city of the house of Baal,
期て燔祭を献ぐることの終りし時ヱヒウその士卒と諸將に言ふ入てかれらを殺せ一人をも出すなかれとすなはち刃をもて彼等を撃ころせり而して士卒と諸將これを投いだしてバアルの家の内殿に入り
26 and brought forth the idolatrous pillars that were in the house of Baal, and then burned it;
諸の像をバアルの家よりとりいだしてこれを燒り
27 and they brake down the pillars of Baal, —and brake down the house of Baal, and appointed it for a sewer-house—until this day.
即ちかれらバアルの像をこぼちバアルの家をこぼち其をもて厠を造りしが今日までのこる
28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
ヱヒウかくイスラエルの中よりバアルを絶さりたりしかども
29 Nevertheless, as for the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he caused, Israel, to commit, Jehu turned not away from following them, —the calves of gold, one being in Bethel, and the other in Dan.
ヱヒウは尚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の罪に離るることをせざりき即ち彼なほベテルとダンにあるところの金の犢に事たり
30 And Yahweh said unto Jehu: Because thou hast done well, by doing that which was right in mine eyes—according to all that was in my heart, hast done to the house of Ahab, sons, of thine, unto the fourth generation, shall sit upon the throne of Israel.
ヱホバ、ヱヒウに言たまひけらく汝わが義と視るところの事を行ふにあたりて善く事をなしまたわが心にある諸の事をアハブの家になしたれば汝の子孫は四代までイスラエルの位に坐せんと
31 But, Jehu, took not heed to walk in the law of Yahweh God of Israel, with all his heart, —he turned not away from the sins of Jeroboam, which he caused, Israel, to commit.
然るにヱヒウは心を盡してイスラエルの神ヱホバの律法をおこなはんとはせず尚かのイスラエルに罪を犯させたるヤラベアムの罪に離れざりき
32 In those days, began Yahweh to make inroads in Israel, —and Hazael smote them in all the boundaries of Israel;
是時にあたりてヱホバ、イスラエルを割くことを始めたまへりハザエルすなはちイスラエルの一切の邊境を侵し
33 from the Jordan, towards sunrise, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, —from Aroer, which is by the torrent of Arnon, both Gilead and Bashan.
ヨルダンの東においてギレアデの全地ガド人ルベン人マナセ人の地を侵しアルノン河の邊なるアロエルよりギレアデにいたりバシヤンにおよべり
34 Now, the rest of the story of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
ヱヒウのその餘の行爲とその凡て爲たる事むよびその大なる能はイスラエルの王の歴代志の書に記さるるにあらずや
35 And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria, —and, Jehoahaz his son, reigned, in his stead.
ヱヒウその先祖等とともに寝りたればこれをサマリヤに葬りぬその子ヱホアハズこれに代て王となれり
36 Now, the days that Jehu reigned over Israel, were twenty-eight years, in Samaria.
ヱヒウがサマリヤにをりてイスラエルに王たりし間は二十八年なりき
