2 Kings 11
1 When King Ahaziah’s mother Athaliah saw that her son had been killed, she commanded that all the members of Ahaziah’s family [who might become king] must be executed.
茲にアハジアの母アタリヤその子の死たるを見て起て王の種を盡く滅したりしが
2 So Ahaziah’s sons were all about to be murdered. But Jehosheba, who was King Jehoram’s daughter and Ahaziah’s half-sister, took Ahaziah’s [very young] son Joash and hid him and (his nursemaid/the woman who took care of him) in a bedroom [in the temple]. So he was not killed.
ヨラム王の女にしてアハジアの姉妹なるヱホシバといふ者アハジアの子ヨアシを王の子等の殺さるる者の中より竊みとり彼とその乳母を夜着の室にいれて彼をアタリヤに匿したれば終にころされざりき
3 He stayed with Jehosheba for six years. All during that time, he remained hidden in the temple, while Athaliah ruled [Judah].
ヨアシは彼とともに六年ヱホバの家に隱れてをりアタリヤ國を治めたり
4 But during the next year, Jehoiada the Supreme Priest summoned the officers who supervised the royal bodyguards and the palace guards. He told them to come to the temple. There he required them to solemnly promise that they would do what he told them to do. And he showed King Ahaziah’s son Joash to them.
第七年にいたりヱホヤダ人を遣して近衛兵の大將等を招きよせヱホバの家にきたりて己に就しめ彼等と契約を結び彼らにヱホバの家にて誓をなさしめて王の子を見し
5 He gave them these instructions: “There are three groups of you guards. When one group finishes their work on the Sabbath day, [divide yourselves into] three smaller groups. One group must guard the palace.
かれらに命じて言ふ汝等がなすべき事は是なり汝等安息日に入きたる者は三分の一は王の家をまもり
6 Another group must guard at the Sur Gate. The other group must guard at the gate behind the other groups.
三分の一はスル門にをり三分の一は近衛兵の後の門にをるべし斯なんぢら宮殿をまもりて人をいるべからず
7 The two groups that are not working on the Sabbath day must guard the temple [to protect little King Joash].
また凡て汝等安息日に出ゆく者はその二手ともにヱホバの家において王をまもるべし
8 You must stand around the king wherever he goes, with your weapons in your hands. You must kill anyone who comes near you.”
すなはち汝らおのおの武器を手にとりて王を環て立べし凡てその列を侵す者をば殺すべし汝等又王の出る時にも入る時にも王とともにをるべし
9 The officers [who supervised the guards] did what Jehoiada told them to do. Each one brought to Jehoiada the guards that he supervised—the guards who were just finishing their work and those who were about to start their work on the Sabbath day.
是においてその將官等祭司ヱホヤダが凡て命ぜしごとくにおこなへり即ちかれらおのおの其手の人の安息日に入くべき者と安息日に出ゆくべき者とを率て祭司ヱホヤダに至りしかば
10 The priest distributed to the commanders of the guards the spears and shields that had belonged to King David, that were kept/stored in the temple.
祭司はヱホバの殿にあるダビデ王の槍と楯を大將等にわたせり
11 Then he commanded all the guards to stand in their positions, each one with his sword in his hand, all around the young king.
近衛兵はおのおの手に武器をとりて王の四周にをり殿の右の端より左の端におよびて壇と殿にそひて立つ
12 Then he brought Joash out. He put the crown on his head and gave him a scroll on which were written the rules [that the kings needed to obey]. Then he poured some olive oil on Joash’s head and proclaimed that he was now the king. The people all clapped their hands and shouted, “We desire/hope that the king will live for many years!”
ヱホヤダすなはち王子を進ませて之に冠冕をいただかせ律法をわたし之を王となして之に膏をそそぎければ人衆手を拍て王長壽かれと言り
13 When Athaliah heard the noise that was being made by the guards and the other people, she ran to the temple, where the people were gathered.
茲にアタリヤ近衛兵と民の聲を聞きヱホバの殿にいりて民の所にいたり
14 She saw the new king standing there alongside one of the big pillars, which was the place at the temple where the kings usually stood. She saw that he was surrounded by the temple officers and men blowing trumpets, and that the people were shouting joyfully, and [some of] them were also blowing trumpets. She tore her clothes [to show her distress] and shouted, “You are traitors! You have tricked/deceived me!”
見るに王は常例のごとくに高座の上に立ち其傍に大將等と喇叭手立をり又國の民みな喜びて喇叭を吹をりしかばアタリヤ其衣を裂て反逆なり反逆なりと叫べり
15 Jehoiada [immediately] said, “Kill her, but do not kill her here at the temple of Yahweh! Take her away between two rows of guards. And kill anyone who tries to rescue her!”
時に祭司ヱホヤダ大將等と軍勢の士官等に命じてこれに言ふ彼をして列の間をとほりて出しめよ彼に從がふ者をば劍をもて殺せと前にも祭司は彼をヱホバの家に殺すべからずと言おけり
16 [She tried to flee, but] the guards seized her and took her to the palace, to the place where horses enter the courtyard. They killed her there.
是をもて彼のために路をひらきければ彼王の家の馬道をとほりゆきしが遂に其處に殺されぬ
17 Then Jehoiada made a solemn agreement between the king and the people, that they would always (obey/be faithful to) Yahweh. He also made an agreement requiring the people to be loyal to Joash their king.
斯てヱホヤダはヱホと王と民の間にその皆ヱホバの民とならんといふ契約を立しめたり亦王と民の間にもこれを立しめたり
18 Then all the people of Israel who were there went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and the statues of Baal. They also killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of the altars. Jehoiada stationed/put guards at the temple of Yahweh.
是をもて國の民みなバアルの家にいりてこれを毀ちその壇とその像を全く打碎きバアルの祭司マツタンをその壇の前に殺せり而して祭司ヱホバの家に監督者を設けたり
19 Then he and the officers of the temple, the officers who supervised the royal bodyguards, and the king’s bodyguards brought the king from the temple to the palace. All the people [followed them]. Joash entered the palace at the Guard Gate and sat down on the throne, [which showed that he was the new king].
ヱホヤダすなはち大將等と近衛兵と國の諸の民を率てヱホバの家より王をみちびき下り近衛兵の門の途よりして王の家にいたり王の位に坐せしめたり
20 All the people of Judah rejoiced. And because Athaliah had been killed, the city was quiet/calm.
斯有しかば國の民はみな喜びて邑は平穩なりきアタリヤは王の家に殺されぬ
21 Joash was seven years old when he became the king [of Judah].
ヨアシは位に即し時七歳なりき
