1 Kings 16
1 During the time that Baasha [was king of Israel], [the prophet] Jehu, Hanani’s son, gave Baasha this message that he had received from Yahweh:
そこで主の言葉がハナニの子エヒウに臨み、バアシャを責めて言った、
2 “You were very insignificant/unimportant [IDM] when I caused you to become the ruler of my Israeli people. But you have caused me to become very angry by doing [IDM] the kinds of evil things that King Jeroboam did. You have also caused me to become angry by causing my people to sin.
「わたしはあなたをちりの中からあげて、わたしの民イスラエルの上に君としたが、あなたはヤラベアムの道に歩み、わたしの民イスラエルに罪を犯させ、その罪をもってわたしを怒らせた。
3 So now I will get rid of you and your family [MTY]. I will do to you just like I did to Jeroboam and his family.
それでわたしは、バアシャとその家を全く滅ぼし去り、あなたの家をネバテの子ヤラベアムの家のようにする。
4 [The bodies of] those in your family who die in this city [will not be buried; they] will be eaten by dogs; and [the corpses of] those who die in the fields will be eaten by vultures.”
バアシャに属する者で、町で死ぬ者は犬が食べ、彼に属する者で、野で死ぬ者は空の鳥が食べるであろう」。
5 The other things that happened during the time that Baasha ruled Israel, and the things that he did, are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
バアシャのその他の事績と、彼がした事と、その勲功とは、イスラエルの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。
6 When Baasha died, he was buried in Tirzah, [the capital city]. Then his son Elah became king.
バアシャはその先祖と共に眠って、テルザに葬られ、その子エラが代って王となった。
7 Yahweh gave that message about Baasha and his family to the prophet Jehu. Baasha had done many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, which caused Yahweh to become angry. Baasha did the same kind of things that King Jeroboam and his family had done previously. Yahweh was also angry with Baasha because he had killed all of Jeroboam’s family.
主の言葉はまたハナニの子預言者エヒウによって臨み、バアシャとその家を責めた。これは彼が主の目の前に、もろもろの悪を行い、その手のわざをもって主を怒らせ、ヤラベアムの家にならったためであり、また彼がヤラベアムの家を滅ぼしたためであった。
8 After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost 26 years, Elah became the king of Israel. Elah ruled in Tirzah for [only] two years.
ユダの王アサの第二十六年にバアシャの子エラはテルザでイスラエルの王となり、二年世を治めた。
9 [A man named] Zimri was one of Elah’s army officers. He commanded the drivers of half of Elah’s army’s (chariots/two-wheeled vehicles pulled by horses). He made plans to kill Elah while Elah was in Tirzah, getting drunk at the house of [a man named] Arza. Arza was the man who took care of the things in the king’s palace.
彼がテルザにいて、テルザの宮殿のつかさアルザの家で酒を飲んで酔った時、その家来で戦車隊の半ばを指揮していたジムリが、彼にそむいた。
10 Zimri went into Arza’s house and killed Elah. Then Zimri became the king of Israel. That was when Asa had been the king of Judah for 27 years.
そしてユダの王アサの第二十七年にジムリは、はいってきて彼を撃ち殺し、彼に代って王となった。
11 As soon as Zimri became king [MTY], he killed all of Baasha’s family [MTY]. That included every male [IDM] in Baasha’s family and all of Baasha’s male friends.
ジムリは王となって、位についた時、バアシャの全家を殺し、その親族または友だちの男子は、ひとりも残さなかった。
12 That was just what Yahweh told the prophet Jehu would happen.
こうしてジムリはバアシャの全家を滅ぼした。主が預言者エヒウによってバアシャを責めて言われた言葉のとおりである。
13 Baasha and his son Elah had sinned and led the Israeli people to sin. They caused Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people worshiped, to become angry, because they both urged the people [to worship] worthless idols.
これはバアシャのもろもろの罪と、その子エラの罪のためであって、彼らが罪を犯し、またイスラエルに罪を犯させ、彼らの偶像をもってイスラエルの神、主を怒らせたからである。
14 Everything else that Elah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
エラのその他の事績と、彼がしたすべての事は、イスラエルの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。
15 So Zimri became the king of Israel after Asa had been king of Judah for 27 years. But Zimri ruled in Tirzah for only seven days. The Israeli army was beseiging/surrounding Gibeah, a town which belonged to the Philistine people-group.
ユダの王アサの第二十七年にジムリはテルザで七日の間、世を治めた。民はペリシテびとに属するギベトンにむかって陣取っていたが、
16 The men in the Israeli army camp heard that Zimri had secretly planned to kill King Elah, and then had killed him. So on that day the soldiers chose Omri, the commander of their army, to become the king of Israel.
その陣取っていた民が「ジムリはむほんを起して王を殺した」と人のいうのを聞いたので、イスラエルは皆その日陣営で、軍の長オムリをイスラエルの王とした。
17 The Israeli army was camped near Gibbethon [city]. When they heard what Zimri had done, they left there and went to Tirzah, and surrounded the city.
そこでオムリはイスラエルの人々と共にギベトンから上ってテルザを囲んだ。
18 When Zimri realized that the city was [about to be] captured, he went into his palace and set it on fire. So the palace burned down, and he died [in the fire].
ジムリはその町の陥るのを見て、王の宮殿の天守にはいり、王の宮殿に火をかけてその中で死んだ。
19 He died because he had sinned by doing the things that Yahweh considered to be evil. Jeroboam had led the Israeli people to sin, and Zimri sinned just like Jeroboam had sinned.
これは彼が犯した罪のためであって、彼が主の目の前に悪を行い、ヤラベアムの道に歩み、ヤラベアムがイスラエルに犯させたその罪を行ったからである。
20 All the other things that Zimri did, and the record of how he rebelled [against King Elah], are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
ジムリのその他の事績と、彼が企てた陰謀は、イスラエルの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。
21 After Zimri died, the Israeli people were divided. One group wanted Tibni, the son of Ginath, to be their king. The other group wanted Omri [to be the king].
その時イスラエルの民は二つに分れ、民の半ばはギナテの子テブニに従って、これを王としようとし、半ばはオムリに従った。
22 Those who supported Omri (were stronger than/defeated) those who supported Tibni. So Tibni was killed, and Omri became king.
しかしオムリに従った民はギナテの子テブニに従った民に勝って、テブニは死に、オムリが王となった。
23 Omri became king when Asa had been king of Judah for almost 31 years. Omri ruled Israel for 12 years. For the first six years he ruled in Tirzah.
ユダの王アサの第三十一年にオムリはイスラエルの王となって十二年世を治めた。彼はテルザで六年王であった。
24 Then he bought a hill from [a man named] Shemer and paid him about (150 pounds/70 kg.) of silver for it. Then Omri ordered his men to build a city on that hill, and he called it Samaria, to honor Shemer, the man who owned it previously.
彼は銀二タラントでセメルからサマリヤの山を買い、その上に町を建て、その建てた町の名をその山の持ち主であったセメルの名に従ってサマリヤと呼んだ。
25 But Omri did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil deeds than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
オムリは主の目の前に悪を行い、彼よりも先にいたすべての者にまさって悪い事をした。
26 [When] Jeroboam [was previously the king, he] had led the Israeli people to sin, and Omri committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did. The Israeli people caused Yahweh, the God the Israeli people had worshiped, to become very angry, because they worshiped worthless idols.
彼はネバテの子ヤラベアムのすべての道に歩み、ヤラベアムがイスラエルに罪を犯させ、彼らの偶像をもってイスラエルの神、主を怒らせたその罪を行った。
27 Everything that Omri did, and the record of the victories that his [army] won, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
オムリが行ったその他の事績と、彼があらわした勲功とは、イスラエルの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。
28 After Omri died, he was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab became king.
オムリはその先祖と共に眠って、サマリヤに葬られ、その子アハブが代って王となった。
29 Ahab became king of Israel when Asa had ruled Judah for almost 38 years. Ahab ruled in Samaria [city] for 22 years.
ユダの王アサの第三十八年にオムリの子アハブがイスラエルの王となった。オムリの子アハブはサマリヤで二十二年イスラエルを治めた。
30 Ahab did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil things than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
オムリの子アハブは彼よりも先にいたすべての者にまさって、主の目の前に悪を行った。
31 He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did, but he did things that were worse than the things that Jeroboam did. He married [a woman named] Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, the king of Sidon [city]. Then Ahab started to worship Baal, [the god that the Canaan people-group worshiped].
彼はネバテの子ヤラベアムの罪を行うことを、軽い事とし、シドンびとの王エテバアルの娘イゼベルを妻にめとり、行ってバアルに仕え、これを拝んだ。
32 He built a temple in Samaria in order that the Israeli people could worship Baal there, and he put an altar there for [making sacrifices to] Baal.
彼はサマリヤに建てたバアルの宮に、バアルのために祭壇を築いた。
33 He also made an idol that represented Asherah, [Baal’s wife]. He did many more things that caused Yahweh to become angry. He did more evil things than any of the previous kings of Israel had done.
アハブはまたアシラ像を造った。アハブは彼よりも先にいたイスラエルのすべての王にまさってイスラエルの神、主を怒らせることを行った。
34 During the years that Ahab [ruled], Hiel, a man from Bethel [city], rebuilt Jericho [city]. But when he started to rebuild the city, his oldest son Abiram died. And [when the city was finished, ] while Hiel was building the city gates, his youngest son Segub died. They died just like Yahweh had told Joshua would happen [to the sons of anyone who would rebuild Jericho].
彼の代にベテルびとヒエルはエリコを建てた。彼はその基をすえる時に長子アビラムを失い、その門を立てる時に末の子セグブを失った。主がヌンの子ヨシュアによって言われた言葉のとおりである。
