< 2 Chronicles 12 >
1 And it was when established [the] kingdom of Rehoboam and according to strengthening his he forsook [the] law of Yahweh and all Israel with him.
レハベアムはその国が堅く立ち、強くなるに及んで、主のおきてを捨てた。イスラエルも皆彼にならった。
2 And it was in the year fifth of the king Rehoboam he came up Shishak [the] king of Egypt on Jerusalem for they had acted unfaithfully against Yahweh.
彼らがこのように主に向かって罪を犯したので、レハベアム王の五年にエジプトの王シシャクがエルサレムに攻め上ってきた。
3 With one thousand and two hundred chariot[s] and with sixty thousand horsemen and not number [belonged] to the people which they came with him from Egypt Libyans Sukkites and Cushites.
その戦車は一千二百、騎兵は六万、また彼に従ってエジプトから来た民、すなわちリビアびと、スキびと、エチオピヤびとは無数であった。
4 And he captured [the] cities of fortifications which [belonged] to Judah and he came to Jerusalem.
シシャクはユダの要害の町々を取り、エルサレムに迫って来た。
5 And Shemaiah the prophet he came to Rehoboam and [the] leaders of Judah who they had gathered to Jerusalem because of Shishak and he said to them thus he says Yahweh you you have abandoned me and also I I have abandoned you in [the] hand of Shishak.
そこで預言者シマヤは、レハベアムおよびシシャクのゆえに、エルサレムに集まったユダのつかさたちのもとにきて言った、「主はこう仰せられる、『あなたがたはわたしを捨てたので、わたしもあなたがたを捨ててシシャクにわたした』と」。
6 And they humbled themselves [the] leaders of Israel and the king and they said [is] righteous - Yahweh.
そこでイスラエルのつかさたち、および王はへりくだって、「主は正しい」と言った。
7 And when saw Yahweh that they had humbled themselves it came [the] word of Yahweh to Shemaiah - saying they have humbled themselves not I will destroy them and I will give to them like a little deliverance and not it will pour forth rage my on Jerusalem by [the] hand of Shishak.
主は彼らのへりくだるのを見られたので、主の言葉がシマヤにのぞんで言った、「彼らがへりくだったから、わたしは彼らを滅ぼさないで、間もなく救を施す。わたしはシシャクの手によって、怒りをエルサレムに注ぐことをしない。
8 For they will become of him subjects so they may know service my and [the] service of [the] kingdoms of the lands.
しかし彼らはシシャクのしもべになる。これは彼らがわたしに仕えることと、国々の王たちに仕えることとの相違を知るためである」。
9 And he came up Shishak [the] king of Egypt on Jerusalem and he took [the] treasures of [the] house of Yahweh and [the] treasures of [the] house of the king everything he took and he took [the] shields of gold which he had made Solomon.
エジプトの王シシャクはエルサレムに攻めのぼって、主の宮の宝物と、王の家の宝物とを奪い去った。すなわちそれらをことごとく奪い去り、またソロモンの造った金の盾をも奪い去った。
10 And he made the king Rehoboam in place of them shields of bronze and he entrusted [them] on [the] hand of [the] commanders of the runners who guarded [the] entrance of [the] house of the king.
それでレハベアム王は、その代りに青銅の盾を造って、王の家の門を守る侍衛長たちの手に渡した。
11 And it was as often as came the king [the] house of Yahweh they came the runners and they carried them and they returned them to [the] guardroom of the runners.
王が主の宮にはいるごとに侍衛は来て、これを負い、またこれを侍衛のへやへ持って帰った。
12 And when he humbled himself it turned back from him [the] anger of Yahweh and not to destroy to complete destruction and also in Judah it was things good.
レハベアムがへりくだったので主の怒りは彼を離れ、彼をことごとく滅ぼそうとはされなかった。またユダの事情もよくなった。
13 And he strengthened himself the king Rehoboam in Jerusalem and he reigned for [was] a son of forty and one year[s] Rehoboam when became king he and seven-teen year[s] - he reigned in Jerusalem the city where he had chosen Yahweh to put name his there from all [the] tribes of Israel and [the] name of mother his [was] Naamah the Ammonite [woman].
レハベアム王はエルサレムで自分の地位を確立し、世を治めた。すなわちレハベアムは四十一歳のとき位につき、十七年の間エルサレムで世を治めた。エルサレムは主がその名を置くためにイスラエルのすべての部族のうちから選ばれた町である。彼の母はアンモンの女で、名をナアマといった。
14 And he did evil for not he had directed heart his to seek Yahweh.
レハベアムは主を求めることに心を傾けないで、悪い事を行った。
15 And [the] matters of Rehoboam former and latter ¿ not [are] they written in [the] words of Shemaiah the prophet and Iddo the seer for genealogical enrollment and [the] wars of Rehoboam and Jeroboam [were] all the days.
レハベアムの始終の行為は、預言者シマヤおよび先見者イドの書にしるされているではないか。レハベアムとヤラベアムとの間には絶えず戦争があった。
16 And he lay down Rehoboam with ancestors his and he was buried in [the] city of David and he became king Abijah son his in place of him.
レハベアムはその先祖たちと共に眠って、ダビデの町に葬られ、その子アビヤが彼に代って王となった。
