1 Kings 15
1 After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 18 years, Abijah became the king of Judah.
ネバテの子ヤラベアム王の第十八年にアビヤム、ユダの王となり
2 He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah, the granddaughter of [David’s son] Absalom.
エルサレムにて三年世を治めたり其母の名はマアカといひてアブサロムの女なり
3 Abijah committed the same kind of sins that his father had committed. He was not fully dedicated/committed to Yahweh his God, as his grandfather David had been.
彼は其父が己のさきに爲たる諸の罪を行ひ其心其父ダビデの心の如く其神ヱホバに完全からざりき
4 But, because of [what Yahweh his God had promised to] David, Yahweh gave Abijah a son [MET] to rule in Jerusalem after him, and in order to protect Jerusalem [from their enemies].
然に其神ヱホバ、ダビデの爲にエルサレムに於て彼に一の燈明を與へ其子を其後に興しエルサレムを固く立しめ賜へり
5 Yahweh did that because David had always done what pleased Yahweh and because David had always obeyed Yahweh. The only time when he disobeyed Yahweh was when he caused Uriah [to be killed].
其はダビデはヘテ人ウリヤの事の外は一生の間ヱホバの目に適ふ事を爲て其己に命じたまへる諸の事に背かざりければなり
6 There were wars between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam all during the time that Abijah ruled.
レハベアムとヤラベアムの間には其一生の間戰爭ありき
7 Everything else that Abijah did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
アビヤムの其餘の行爲と凡て其爲たる事はユダの王の歴代志の書に記載さるるにあらずやアビヤムとヤラベアムの間に戰爭ありき
8 Abijah died [EUP] and was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, and his son Asa became king.
アビヤム其先祖と倶に寝りしかば之をダビデの城に葬りぬ其子アサ之に代りて王と爲り
9 After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 20 years, Asa started to rule Judah.
イスラエルの王ヤラベアムの第二十年にアサ、ユダの王となり
10 He ruled in Jerusalem for 41 years. His grandmother was Maacah, the granddaughter of Absalom.
エルサレムにて四十一年世を治めたり其母の名はマアカといひてアブサロムの女なり
11 Asa did what was pleasing to Yahweh, as his ancestor David had done.
アサは其父ダビデの如くヱホバの目に適ふ事を爲し
12 He got rid of the male prostitutes that were at the places where the people worshiped idols, and he also got rid of all the idols that his ancestors had made.
男色を行ふ者を國より逐ひ出し其父祖等の造りたる諸の偶像を除けり
13 He also removed his grandmother Maacah so that she no longer had influence in the government [because of] being the mother of a previous king. He did that because she had made a disgusting [wooden] statue of the goddess Asherah. Asa [told his workers to] cut down the statue and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
彼は亦其母マアカのアシラの像を造りしがために之を貶して太后たらしめざりき而してアサ其像を毀ちてキデロンの谷に焚棄たり
14 He was not able to destroy all the places where the people worshiped [idols] on the high hills, but he continued to be dedicated/committed to Yahweh his entIre life.
但し崇邱は除かざりき然どアサの心は一生の間ヱホバに完全かりき
15 He [told his workers to] place in the temple all the items that his father had dedicated to God, and all the gold and silver things that he had dedicated to God.
彼其父の献納めたる物と己のをさめたる物金銀器をヱホバの家に携へいりぬ
16 There were wars between [the armies of] Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, all during the time that they ruled.
アサとイスラエルの王バアシヤの間に一生の間戰爭ありき
17 Baasha’s army invaded Judah. They captured Ramah [town north of Jerusalem]. Then they started to build a wall around it in order to prevent people from entering or leaving the area in Judah that was ruled by King Asa.
イスラエルの王バアシヤ、ユダに攻上りユダの王アサの所に誰をも往來せざらしめん爲にラマを築けり
18 So Asa [told] his workers [to] take all the silver and gold that was still in the storerooms in the temple and in the palace. He told them to take it to Damascus and give it to King Ben-Hadad who ruled Syria. Ben-Hadad was the son of Tabrimmon and grandson of Hezion. He told the workers to say this to Ben-Hadad:
是に於てアサ王ヱホバの家の府庫と王の家の府庫に殘れる所の金銀を盡く將て之を其臣僕の手に付し之をダマスコに住るスリアの王ヘジヨンの子タブリモンの子なるベネハダデに遣はして言けるは
19 “I want there to be a peace treaty between you and me, like there was between your father and my father. For that reason, I am giving you this silver and gold. So now please cancel the treaty that you made with Baasha, the king of Israel, in order that he will take his soldiers away from attacking mine, [because he will be afraid of your army].”
わが父と爾の父の間の如く我と爾の間に約を立ん視よ我爾に金銀の禮物を餽れり往て爾とイスラエルの王バアシヤとの約を破り彼をして我を離れて上らしめよ
20 [So the workers went and gave the message to] Ben-Hadad, [and he] did what Asa suggested. He sent his army commanders [and their soldiers] to attack some of the towns in Israel. They captured Ijon, Dan, Abel-Beth-Maacah, the area near Galilee Lake, and all the land of [the tribe of] Naphtali.
ベネハダデ、アサ王に聽きて自己の軍勢の長等を遣はしてイスラエルの諸邑を攻めイヨンとダンとアベルベテマアカおよびキンネレテの全地とナフタリの全地とを撃り
21 When Baasha heard about that, he [told his soldiers to] stop working at Ramah. He [and his soldiers returned to] Tirzah [and] stayed there.
バアシヤ聞及びラマを築くことを罷てテルザに止り
22 Then King Asa sent a message to all the [people in the] towns in Judah, stating that they all were required to go to Ramah and carry away the stones and timber that Baasha’s soldiers had been using to build a wall around the city. With those stones and timber they fortified Mizpah [city north of Jerusalem], and Geba, [a town] in the territory of the tribe of Benjamin.
是に於てアサ王令をユダ全國に降したり一人も免かれし者なし斯して即ちバアシヤが用ひてラマを築きたる石と材木を取きたらしめアサ王之を用てべニヤミンのゲバとミズパを築けり
23 Everything else that Asa did, the armies that his soldiers defeated, and the names of the cities that he caused to be fortified, are [RHQ] written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’. But when Asa became old, he got a disease in his feet.
アサの其餘の行爲と其諸の功業と凡て其爲たる事および其建たる城邑はユダの王の歴代志の書に記載さるるにあらずや但し彼は年老るに及びて其足を病たり
24 He died [EUP] and was buried where his ancestors were buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Jehoshaphat became king.
アサ其父祖と時に寝りて其父ダビデの城に其父祖と偕に葬らる其子ヨシヤパテ之に代りて王と爲り
25 After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost two years, King Jeroboam’s son Nadab started to rule Israel. He ruled for two years.
ユダの王アサの第二年にヤラベアムの子ナダブ、イスラエルの王と爲り二年イスラエルを治めたり
26 He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil. His behavior was sinful like his father’s behavior had been, and what he did led the people of Israel to sin.
彼ヱホバの目のまへに惡を爲其父の道に歩行み其イスラエルに犯させたる罪を行へり
27 [A man named] Baasha, from the tribe of Issachar, planned to harm him. He killed Nadab when Nadab and his army had surrounded Gibbethon [city] in the Philistia area.
爰にイツサカルの家のアヒヤの子バアシヤ彼に敵して黨を結びペリシテ人に屬するギベトンにて彼を撃り其はナダブとイスラエル皆ギベトンを圍み居たればなり
28 That [DOU] was when Asa had been [the king ruling] Judah for almost three years. Then Baasha became the king of Israel.
ユダの王アサの第三年にバアシヤ彼を殺し彼に代りて王となれり
29 As soon as Baasha became king, [he commanded his soldiers to] kill all of Jeroboam’s family. Doing what Yahweh had told the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh would happen, they killed all of Jeroboam’s family. None of them (was left/remained alive).
バアシヤ王となれる時ヤラベアムの全家を撃ち氣息ある者は一人もヤラベアムに殘さずして盡く之を滅せりヱホバの其僕シロ人アヒヤに由て言たまへる言の如し
30 That happened because Yahweh had become very angry with Jeroboam because of all the sins that Jeroboam had committed, and because of the sins that he had persuaded the people of Israel to commit.
是はヤラベアムが犯し又イスラエルに犯させたる罪の爲め又彼がイスラエルの神ヱホバの怒を惹き起したる事に因るなり
31 Everything else that Nadab did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
ナダブの其餘の行爲と凡て其爲たる事はイスラエルの王の歴代志の書に記載さるるにあらずや
32 There were wars between [the armies of] King Asa and King Baasha all the time that they ruled.
アサとイスラエルの王バアシヤの間に一生のあひだ戰爭ありき
33 After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost three years, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, started to rule Israel at Tirzah [city]. He ruled for 24 years.
ユダの王アサの第三年にアヒヤの子バアシヤ、テルザに於てイスラエルの全地の王となりて二十四年を經たり
34 He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil, and his behavior was sinful like his father’s had been, and he led the people of Israel to sin.
彼ヱホバの目のまへに惡を爲しヤラベアムの道にあゆみ其イスラエルに犯させたる罪を行へり
