2 Kings 18
1 And it was in year three of Hoshea [the] son of Elah [the] king of Israel he became king Hezekiah [the] son of Ahaz [the] king of Judah.
イスラエルの王エラの子ホセアの第三年にユダの王アハズの子ヒゼキヤが王となった。
2 A son of twenty and five year[s] he was when became king he and twenty and nine year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem and [the] name of mother his [was] Abi [the] daughter of Zechariah.
彼は王となった時二十五歳で、エルサレムで二十九年の間、世を治めた。その母はゼカリヤの娘で、名をアビといった。
3 And he did the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh according to all that he had done David ancestor his.
ヒゼキヤはすべて先祖ダビデがおこなったように主の目にかなう事を行い、
4 He - he removed the high places and he broke the sacred pillars and he cut down the Asherah pole and he crushed to pieces [the] snake of bronze which he had made Moses for until the days those they were [the] people of Israel making smoke to it and someone had called it Nehushtan.
高き所を除き、石柱をこわし、アシラ像を切り倒し、モーセの造った青銅のへびを打ち砕いた。イスラエルの人々はこの時までそのへびに向かって香をたいていたからである。人々はこれをネホシタンと呼んだ。
5 In Yahweh [the] God of Israel he trusted and after him not anyone was like him among all [the] kings of Judah and [those] who they were before him.
ヒゼキヤはイスラエルの神、主に信頼した。そのために彼のあとにも彼の先にも、ユダのすべての王のうちに彼に及ぶ者はなかった。
6 And he clung to Yahweh not he turned aside from after him and he kept commandments his which he had commanded Yahweh Moses.
すなわち彼は固く主に従って離れることなく、主がモーセに命じられた命令を守った。
7 And he was Yahweh with him in all that he went out he prospered and he rebelled against [the] king of Assyria and not he served him.
主が彼と共におられたので、すべて彼が出て戦うところで功をあらわした。彼はアッスリヤの王にそむいて、彼に仕えなかった。
8 He he struck down [the] Philistines to Gaza and territories its from a tower of watchmen unto a city of fortification.
彼はペリシテびとを撃ち敗って、ガザとその領域にまで達し、見張台から堅固な町にまで及んだ。
9 And it was in the year fourth of the king Hezekiah it [was] the year seventh of Hoshea [the] son of Elah [the] king of Israel he came up Shalmaneser [the] king of Assyria on Samaria and he laid siege on it.
ヒゼキヤ王の第四年すなわちイスラエルの王エラの子ホセアの第七年に、アッスリヤの王シャルマネセルはサマリヤに攻め上って、これを囲んだが、
10 And they captured it from [the] end of three years in year six of Hezekiah it [was] year nine of Hoshea [the] king of Israel it was captured Samaria.
三年の後ついにこれを取った。サマリヤが取られたのはヒゼキヤの第六年で、それはイスラエルの王ホセアの第九年であった。
11 And he took into exile [the] king of Assyria Israel Assyria towards and he led them in Halah and on [the] Habor [the] river of Gozan and [the] cities of Media.
アッスリヤの王はイスラエルの人々をアッスリヤに捕えていって、ハラと、ゴザンの川ハボルのほとりと、メデアの町々に置いた。
12 On - that not they had listened to [the] voice of Yahweh God their and they had transgressed covenant his all that he had commanded Moses [the] servant of Yahweh and not they listened and not they did.
これは彼らがその神、主の言葉にしたがわず、その契約を破り、主のしもべモーセの命じたすべての事に耳を傾けず、また行わなかったからである。
13 And in four-teen year of the king Hezekiah he came up Sennacherib [the] king of Assyria on all [the] cities of Judah fortified and he seized them.
ヒゼキヤ王の第十四年にアッスリヤの王セナケリブが攻め上ってユダのすべての堅固な町々を取ったので、
14 And he sent Hezekiah [the] king of Judah to [the] king of Assyria - Lachish towards - saying - I have sinned turn back from on me [that] which you will put on me I will bear and he imposed [the] king of Assyria on Hezekiah [the] king of Judah three hundred talent[s] of silver and thirty talent[s] of gold.
ユダの王ヒゼキヤは人をラキシにつかわしてアッスリヤの王に言った、「わたしは罪を犯しました。どうぞ引き上げてください。わたしに課せられることはなんでもいたします」。アッスリヤの王は銀三百タラントと金三十タラントをユダの王ヒゼキヤに課した。
15 And he gave Hezekiah all the silver which was found [the] house of Yahweh and in [the] treasuries of [the] house of the king.
ヒゼキヤは主の宮と王の家の倉とにある銀をことごとく彼に与えた。
16 At the time that he cut off Hezekiah [the] doors of [the] temple of Yahweh and the door-posts which he had overlaid Hezekiah [the] king of Judah and he gave them to [the] king of Assyria.
この時ユダの王ヒゼキヤはまた主の神殿の戸および柱から自分が着せた金をはぎ取って、アッスリヤの王に与えた。
17 And he sent [the] king of Assyria [the] commander in chief and [the] chief court-official - and [the] chief commander from Lachish to the king Hezekiah with an army massive Jerusalem and they went up and they came Jerusalem and they went up and they came and they stood at [the] conduit of the pool upper which [is] on [the] highway of [the] field of [the] washer.
アッスリヤの王はまたタルタン、ラブサリスおよびラブシャケを、ラキシから大軍を率いてエルサレムにいるヒゼキヤ王のもとにつかわした。彼らは上ってエルサレムに来た。彼らはエルサレムに着くと、布さらし場に行く大路に沿っている上の池の水道のかたわらへ行って、そこに立った。
18 And they called out to the king and he went out to them Eliakim [the] son of Hilkiah who [was] over the house and Shebna the scribe and Joah [the] son of Asaph the recorder.
そして彼らが王を呼んだので、ヒルキヤの子である宮内卿エリアキム、書記官セブナ、およびアサフの子である史官ヨアが彼らのところに出てきた。
19 And he said to them [the] chief commander say please to Hezekiah thus he says the king great [the] king of Assyria what? [is] the trust this which you trust.
ラブシャケは彼らに言った、「ヒゼキヤに言いなさい、『大王、アッスリヤの王はこう仰せられる。あなたが頼みとする者は何か。
20 You have said only a word of lips counsel and strength for war now on whom? do you rely that you have rebelled against me.
口先だけの言葉が戦争をする計略と力だと考えるのか。あなたは今だれにたよって、わたしにそむいたのか。
21 Now there! you rely yourself on [the] staff of reed crushed this on Egypt which he will support himself anyone on it and it will go in palm his and it will pierce it [is] thus Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt to all those [who] rely on him.
今あなたは、あの折れかけている葦のつえ、エジプトを頼みとしているが、それは人がよりかかる時、その人の手を刺し通すであろう。エジプトの王パロはすべて寄り頼む者にそのようにする。
22 And if you will say! to me to Yahweh God our we trust ¿ not [is] he [the one] whom he has removed Hezekiah high places his and altars his and he has said to Judah and to Jerusalem before the altar this you will bow down in Jerusalem.
しかしあなたがもし「われわれは、われわれの神、主を頼む」とわたしに言うのであれば、その神はヒゼキヤがユダとエルサレムに告げて、「あなたがたはエルサレムで、この祭壇の前に礼拝しなければならない」と言って、その高き所と祭壇とを除いた者ではないか。
23 And therefore make a wager please with master my with [the] king of Assyria and let me give to you two thousand horses if you will be able to put yourself riders on them.
さあ、わたしの主君アッスリヤの王とかけをせよ。もしあなたの方に乗る人があるならば、わたしは馬二千頭を与えよう。
24 And how? will you turn back [the] face of [the] governor one of [the] servants of master my small and you have been relying yourself on Egypt for chariotry and for horsemen.
あなたはエジプトを頼み、戦車と騎兵を請い求めているが、わたしの主君の家来のうちの最も小さい一隊長でさえ、どうして撃退することができようか。
25 Now ¿ from without Yahweh have I come up on the place this to destroy it Yahweh he said to me go up on the land this and destroy it.
わたしがこの所を滅ぼすために上ってきたのは、主の許しなしにしたことであろうか。主がわたしにこの地に攻め上ってこれを滅ぼせと言われたのだ』」。
26 And he said Eliakim [the] son of Hilkiah and Shebna and Joah to [the] chief commander speak please to servants your Aramaic for [are] understanding we and may not you speak with us [in] Judean in [the] ears of the people which [is] on the wall.
その時ヒルキヤの子エリアキムおよびセブナとヨアはラブシャケに言った、「どうぞ、アラム語でしもべどもに話してください。わたしたちは、それがわかるからです。城壁の上にいる民の聞いているところで、わたしたちにユダヤの言葉で話さないでください」。
27 And he said to them [the] chief commander ¿ to master your and to you has he sent me master my to speak the words these ¿ not to the men who are sitting on the wall to eat (own excrement their *Q(K)*) and to drink ([the] water of feet their *Q(K)*) with you.
しかしラブシャケは彼らに言った、「わたしの主君は、あなたの主君とあなたにだけでなく、城壁の上に座している人々にも、この言葉を告げるためにわたしをつかわしたのではないか。彼らも、あなたがたと共に自分の糞尿を食い飲みするに至るであろう」。
28 And he stood [the] chief commander and he called out with a voice great [in] Judean and he spoke and he said hear [the] word of the king great [the] king of Assyria.
そしてラブシャケは立ちあがり、ユダヤの言葉で大声に呼ばわって言った。「大王、アッスリヤの王の言葉を聞け。
29 Thus he says the king may not he deceive you Hezekiah for not he will be able to deliver you from hand his.
王はこう仰せられる、『あなたがたはヒゼキヤに欺かれてはならない。彼はあなたがたをわたしの手から救いだすことはできない。
30 And may not he make trust you Hezekiah to Yahweh saying certainly he will deliver us Yahweh and not it will be given the city this in [the] hand of [the] king of Assyria.
ヒゼキヤが「主は必ずわれわれを救い出される。この町はアッスリヤ王の手に陥ることはない」と言っても、あなたがたは主を頼みとしてはならない』。
31 May not you listen to Hezekiah for thus he says [the] king of Assyria make with me a blessing and come out to me and eat everyone own vine his and everyone own fig tree his and drink everyone [the] water of own cistern his.
あなたがたはヒゼキヤの言葉を聞いてはならない。アッスリヤの王はこう仰せられる、『あなたがたはわたしと和解して、わたしに降服せよ。そうすればあなたがたはおのおの自分のぶどうの実を食べ、おのおの自分のいちじくの実を食べ、おのおの自分の井戸の水を飲むことができるであろう。
32 Until come I and I will take you to a land like own land your a land of grain and new wine a land of bread and vineyards a land of olive tree of fresh oil and honey and live and not you will die and may not you listen to Hezekiah for he misleads you saying Yahweh he will deliver us.
やがてわたしが来て、あなたがたを一つの国へ連れて行く。それはあなたがたの国のように穀物とぶどう酒のある地、パンとぶどう畑のある地、オリブの木と蜜のある地である。あなたがたは生きながらえることができ、死ぬことはない。ヒゼキヤが「主はわれわれを救われる」と言って、あなたがたを惑わしても彼に聞いてはならない。
33 ¿ Really have they delivered [the] gods of the nations anyone land its from [the] hand of [the] king of Assyria.
諸国民の神々のうち、どの神がその国をアッスリヤの王の手から救ったか。
34 Where? [were] [the] gods of Hamath and Arpad where? [were] [the] gods of Sepharvaim Hena and Ivvah that they have delivered Samaria from hand my.
ハマテやアルパデの神々はどこにいるのか。セパルワイム、ヘナおよびイワの神々はどこにいるのか。彼らはサマリヤをわたしの手から救い出したか。
35 Who? among all [the] gods of the lands [are those] which they have delivered land their from hand my that he will deliver Yahweh Jerusalem from hand my.
国々のすべての神々のうち、その国をわたしの手から救い出した者があったか。主がどうしてエルサレムをわたしの手から救い出すことができよう』」。
36 And they kept silent the people and not they answered him anything for [was] [the] command of the king it saying not you must answer him.
しかし民は黙して、ひと言も彼に答えなかった。王が命じて「彼に答えてはならない」と言っておいたからである。
37 And he went Eliakim [the] son of Hilkiah who [was] over the house and Shebna the scribe and Joah [the] son of Asaph the recorder to Hezekiah torn of clothes and they told to him [the] words of [the] chief commander.
こうしてヒルキヤの子である宮内卿エリアキム、書記官セブナ、およびアサフの子である史官ヨアは衣を裂き、ヒゼキヤのもとに来て、ラブシャケの言葉を彼に告げた。
