1 Kings 21
1 Now some time later, Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard in Jezreel, near the palace of Ahab, king of Samaria.
是等の事の後ヱズレル人ナボテ、ヱズレルに葡萄園を有ちゐたりしがサマリアの王アハブの殿の側に在りければ
2 Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, so I can have it as a vegetable garden, because it is near my house. In exchange, I will give you a better vineyard, or, if you prefer, I will pay you its value in money.”
アハブ、ナボテに語て言けるは爾の葡萄園は近くわが家の側にあれば我に與へて蔬采の圃となさしめよ我之がために其よりも美き葡萄園を爾に與へん若し爾の心にかなはば其價を銀にて爾に予へんと
3 Naboth replied to Ahab, “May Yahweh forbid that I should give the inheritance of my ancestors to you.”
ナボテ、アハブに言けるはわが父祖の產業を爾に與ふる事は決て爲べからずヱホバ禁じたまふと
4 So Ahab went into his palace resentful and angry because of the answer Naboth the Jezreelite gave him when he said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my ancestors.” He lay down on his bed, turned away his face, and refused to eat any food.
アハブはヱズレル人ナボテの己に言し言のために憂ひ且怒りて其家に入ぬ其は彼わが父祖の產業を爾に與へじと言たればなりアハブ床に臥し其面を轉けて食をなさざりき
5 Jezebel his wife came to him and said to him, “Why is your heart so sad, so that you eat no food?”
其妻イゼベル彼の處にいりて彼に言けるは爾の心何を憂へて爾食を爲ざるや
6 He replied to her, “I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and said to him, 'Give me your vineyard for money, or if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard to be yours.' Then he answered me, 'I will not give you my vineyard.'”
彼之に言けるは我ヱズレル人ナボテに語りて爾の葡萄園を銀に易て我に與へよ若また爾好ば我其に易て葡萄園を爾に與へんと彼に言たるに彼答へて我が葡萄園を爾に與へじと言たればなりと
7 So Jezebel his wife replied to him, “Do you not still rule the kingdom of Israel? Get up and eat; let your heart be happy. I will obtain for you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
其妻イゼベル彼に言けるは爾今イステエルの國を治むることを爲すや興て食を爲し爾の心を樂ましめよ我ヱズレル人ナボテの葡萄園を爾に與へんと
8 So Jezebel wrote letters in Ahab's name, sealed them with his seal, and sent them to the elders and to the wealthy who sat with him in meetings, and who lived near Naboth.
彼アハブの名をもて書を書き彼の印を捺し其邑にナボテとともに住る長老と貴き人に其書をおくれり
9 She wrote in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast and seat Naboth above the people.
彼其書にしるして曰ふ斷食を宣傳てナボテを民の中に高く坐せしめよ
10 Also place two dishonest men with him and let them testify against him, saying, 'You cursed God and the king.'” Then take him out and stone him to death.
又邪なる人二人を彼のまへに坐せしめ彼に對ひて證を爲して爾神と王を詛ひたりと言しめよ斯して彼を曳出し石にて撃て死しめよと
11 So the men of his city, the elders and the wealthy who lived in Naboth's city, did as Jezebel had described to them, as was written in the letters that she had sent to them.
其邑の人即ち其邑に住る長老および貴き人等イゼベルが己に言つかはしたる如く即ち彼が己に遣りたる書に書したる如く爲り
12 They proclaimed a fast and seated Naboth above the people.
彼等斷食を宣達てナボテを民の中に高く坐せしめたり
13 The two dishonest men came in and sat before Naboth; they testified against Naboth in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed both God and the king.” Then they carried him out of the city and stoned him to death.
時に二人の邪なる人入來りて其前に坐し其邪なる人民のまへにてナボテに對て證をなして言ふナボテ神と王を詛ひたりと人衆彼を邑の外に曳出し石にて之を撃て死しめたり
14 Then the elders sent word to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned and is dead.”
斯てイゼベルにナボテ撃れて死たりと言遣れり
15 So when Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, she said to Ahab, “Get up and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money, because Naboth is not alive, but dead.”
イゼベル、ナボタの撃れて死たるを聞しかばイゼベル、アハブに言けるは起て彼ヱズレル人ナボテが銀に易て爾に與ることを拒みし葡萄園を取べし其はナボテは生をらず死たればなりと
16 When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite and take possession of it.
アハブ、ナボテの死たるを聞しかばアハブ起ちヱズレル人ナボテの葡萄園を取んとて之に下れり
17 Then the word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
時にヱホバの言テシベ人エリヤに臨みて曰ふ
18 “Get up and go meet Ahab king of Israel, who lives in Samaria. He is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone to take possession of it.
起て下りサマリアにあるイスラエルの王アハブに會ふべし彼はナボテの葡萄園を取んとて彼處に下りをるなり
19 You must speak to him and say that Yahweh says, 'Have you killed and also taken possession?' Then you will tell him that Yahweh says, 'In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, the dogs will lick your blood, yes, your blood.'”
爾彼に告て言べしヱホバ斯言ふ爾は殺し亦取たるやと又爾彼に告て言ふべしヱホバ斯言ふ犬ナボテの血を銛し處にて犬爾の身の血を銛べしと
20 Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” Elijah answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do what is evil in the sight of Yahweh.
アハブ、エリヤに言けるは我敵よ爾我に遇や彼言ふ我遇ふ爾ヱホバの目の前に惡を爲す事に身を委しに縁り
21 Yahweh says this to you: 'See, I will bring disaster on you and will completely consume and cut off from you every male child and slave and free man in Israel.
我災害を爾に降し爾の後裔を除きアハブに屬する男はイスラエルにありて繋がれたる者も繋がれざる者も悉く絶ん
22 I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and like the family of Baasha son of Ahijah, because you have provoked me to anger and have led Israel to sin.'
又爾の家をネバテの子ヤラベアムの家の如くなしアヒヤの子バアシヤの家のごとくなすべし是は爾我の怒を惹起しイスラエルをして罪を犯させたるに因てなり
23 Yahweh has also spoken concerning Jezebel, saying, 'The dogs will eat Jezebel beside the wall of Jezreel.'
イゼベルに關てヱホバ亦語て言給ふ犬ヱズレルの濠にてイゼベルを食はん
24 Anyone who belongs to Ahab and dies in the city, the dogs will eat; and the birds of the sky will eat anyone who dies in the field.”
アハブに屬する者の邑に死るをば犬之を食ひ野に死るをば天空の鳥之を食はんと
25 There was no one like Ahab, who sold himself to do what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, whom Jezebel his wife incited to sin.
誠にアハブの如くヱホバの目の前に惡をなす事に身をゆだねし者はあらざりき其妻イゼベル之を慫憊たるなり
26 Ahab did disgusting deeds for the idols he followed, just as all that the Amorites had done, those whom Yahweh had removed before the people of Israel.
彼はヱホバがイスラエルの子孫のまへより逐退けたまひしアモリ人の凡てなせし如く偶像に從ひて甚だ惡むべき事を爲り
27 When Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his body and fasted, and lay in sackcloth and became very sad.
アハブ此等の言を聞ける時其衣を裂き粗麻布を體にまとひ食を斷ち粗麻布に臥し遅々に歩行り
28 Then the word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
茲にヱホバの言テシベ人エリヤに臨みて言ふ
29 “Do you see how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the coming disaster in his days; it is in his son's day that I will bring disaster on his family.”
爾アハブの我前に卑下るを見るや彼わがまへに卑下るに縁て我災害を彼の世に降さずして其子の世に災害を彼の家に降すべし
