1 Kings 16
1 The word of Yahweh came to Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
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 “Although I exalted you out of the dust and made you leader over my people Israel, you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have made my people Israel to sin, so as to provoke me to anger with their sins.
「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 See, I will completely sweep away Baasha and his family and I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam son of Nebat.
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 dogs will eat anyone belonging to Baasha who dies in the city, and the birds of the sky will eat anyone who dies in the fields.”
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 As for the other matters concerning Baasha, what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the events 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 Baasha slept with his ancestors and was buried in Tirzah, and Elah his son became king in his place.
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 So by the prophet Jehu son of Hanani the word of Yahweh came against Baasha and his family, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of Yahweh, so as to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, like the family of Jeroboam, and also 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 In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah; he reigned 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 His servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now Elah was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in Tirzah.
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 in, attacked him and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and became king in his place.
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 When Zimri began to reign and was seated on his throne, he killed all the family of Baasha. He did not leave alive a single male belonging to Baasha's relatives or 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 So Zimri destroyed all the family of Baasha, according to the word of Yahweh which he spoke against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,
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 for all the sins of Baasha and the sins of Elah his son that they committed, and by which they had led Israel to sin, so that they provoked Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger with their 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 As for the other matters concerning Elah, all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events 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 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned only for seven days in Tirzah. Now the army was camped by Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.
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 army camped there heard it said, “Zimri has plotted and has killed the king.” So that day in the camp, all Israel declared Omri, the commander of the army, king over 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 Omri went up from Gibbethon and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
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 So when Zimri saw that the city had been taken, he went into the fortress attached to the king's palace and set fire to the building over him; in this way he died in the flames.
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 This was for the sins that he had committed in doing what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, by walking in the way of Jeroboam and in the sin that he had committed, so as to lead Israel to sin.
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 As for the other matters concerning Zimri, and the treason that he carried out, are they not written in the book of the events 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 Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts. Half of the people followed Tibni son of Ginath, to make him king, and half followed Omri.
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 But the people who followed Omri were stronger than the people who followed Tibni son of Ginath. So Tibni died, 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 began to reign over Israel in the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned twelve years. He reigned from Tirzah for six years.
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 He bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver. He built a city on the hill and called the name of the city Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the past owner of the hill.
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 Omri did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh and acted more wickedly than all who had been before him.
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 For he walked in all the ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat and in his sins by which he led Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to be angry with their 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 As for the other matters concerning Omri which he did, and the might that he showed, are they not written in the book of the events 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 So Omri slept with his ancestors and was buried in Samaria and Ahab his son became king in his place.
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 In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab son of Omri began to reign over Israel. Ahab son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two 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 son of Omri did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, more than all those who were before him.
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 It was to Ahab a trivial thing to walk in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, so he took as his wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians; he went and worshiped Baal and bowed down to him.
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 an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
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 Ahab made an Asherah pole. Ahab did even more to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who had been before him.
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 Ahab's rule, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. Hiel laid the foundation of the city at the cost of the life of Abiram, his firstborn son; and Segub, his youngest son, lost his life while he was building the gates of the city, in keeping with the word of Yahweh which he spoke by Joshua son of Nun.
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。
