< 1 Kings 12 >

1 And Rehoboam goeth to Shechem, for to Shechem hath all Israel come to make him king.
爰にレハベアム、シケムに往り其はイスラエル皆彼を王と爲んとてシケムに至りたればなり
2 And it cometh to pass, at Jeroboam son of Nebat's hearing (and he [is] yet in Egypt where he hath fled from the presence of Solomon the king, and Jeroboam dwelleth in Egypt),
ネバテの子ヤラベアム尚エジブトに在て聞りヤラベアムはソロモン王の面をさけて逃さりエジプトに住居たるなり
3 that they send and call for him; and they come — Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel — and speak unto Rehoboam, saying,
時に人衆人を遣はして彼を招けり斯てヤラベアムとイスラエルの會衆皆來りてレハベアムに告て言けるは
4 'Thy father made hard our yoke, and thou, now, make light [some] of the hard service of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we serve thee.'
汝の父我儕の軛を難くせり然ども爾今爾の父の難き役と爾の父の我儕に蒙らせたる重き軛を軽くせよ然ば我儕爾に事へん
5 And he saith unto them, 'Go — yet three days, and come back unto me;' and the people go.
レハベアム彼等に言けるは去て三日を經て再び我に來れと民乃ち去り
6 And king Rehoboam consulteth with the elders who have been standing in the presence of Solomon his father, in his being alive, saying, 'How are ye counselling to answer this people?'
レハベアム王其父ソロモンの生る間其前に立たる老人等と計りていひけるは爾等如何に敎へて此民に答へしむるや
7 And they speak unto him, saying, 'If, to-day, thou art servant to this people, and hast served them, and answered them, and spoken unto them good words, then they have been to thee servants all the days.'
彼等レハベアムに告て言けるは爾若今日此民の僕となり之に事へて之に答へ善き言を之に語らば彼等永く爾の僕となるべしと
8 And he forsaketh the counsel of the elders which they counselled him, and consulteth with the lads who have grown up with him, who are standing before him;
然に彼老人の敎へし敎を棄て自己と倶に生長て己のまへに立つ少年等と計れり
9 and he saith unto them, 'What are ye counselling, and we answer this people, who have spoken unto me, saying, Lighten [somewhat] of the yoke that thy father put upon us?'
即ち彼等に言けるは爾等何を敎へて我儕をして此我に告て爾の父の我儕に蒙むらせし軛を軽くせよと言ふ民に答へしむるやと
10 And they speak unto him — the lads who had grown up with him — saying, 'Thus dost thou say to this people who have spoken unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and thou, make [it] light upon us; thus dost thou speak unto them, My little [finger] is thicker than the loins of my father;
彼と偕に生長たる少年彼に告ていひけるは爾に告て爾の父我儕の軛を重くしたれど爾これを我儕のために軽くせよと言たる此民に爾斯言ベし我が小指はわが父の腰よりも太し
11 and now, my father laid on you a heavy yoke, and I add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, and I — I chastise you with scorpions.'
またわが父爾等に重き軛を負せたりしが我は更に爾等の軛を重くせん我父は鞭にて爾等を懲したれども我は蠍をもて爾等を懲んと爾斯彼等に告べしと
12 And they come — Jeroboam and all the people — unto Rehoboam, on the third day, as the king had spoken, saying, 'Come back unto me on the third day.'
ヤラベアムと民皆王の告て第三日に再び我に來れと言しごとく第三日にレハベアムに詣りしに
13 And the king answereth the people sharply, and forsaketh the counsel of the elders which they counselled him,
王荒々しく民に答へ老人の敎へし敎を棄て
14 and speaketh unto them, according to the counsel of the lads, saying, 'My father made your yoke heavy, and I add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, and I — I chastise you with scorpions;'
少年の敎の如く彼等に告て言けるは我父は爾等の軛を重くしたりしが我は更に爾等の軛を重くせん我父は鞭を以て爾等を懲したれども我は蠍をもて爾等を懲さんと
15 and the king hearkened not unto the people, for the revolution was from Jehovah, in order to establish His word that Jehovah spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam son of Nebat.
王斯民に聽ざりき此事はヱホバより出たる者なり是はヱホバその甞てシロ人アヒヤに由てネバテの子ヤラベアムに告し言をおこなはんとて爲たまへるなり
16 And all Israel see that the king hath not hearkened unto them, and the people send the king back word, saying, 'What portion have we in David? yea, there is no inheritance in the son of Jesse; to thy tents, O Israel; now see thy house, O David!' and Israel goeth to its tents.
かくイスラエル皆王の己に聽ざるを見たり是において民王に答へて言けるは我儕ダビデの中に何の分あらんやヱサイの子の中に產業なしイスラエルよ爾等の天幕に歸れダビデよ今爾の家を視よと而してイスラエルは其天幕に去りゆけり
17 As to the sons of Israel, those dwelling in the cities of Judah — over them reign doth Rehoboam.
然どもユダの諸邑に住るイスラエルの子孫の上にはレハベアム其王となれり
18 And king Rehoboam sendeth Adoram who [is] over the tribute, and all Israel cast at him stones, and he dieth; and king Rehoboam hath strengthened himself to go up into a chariot to flee to Jerusalem;
レハベアム王徴募頭なるアドラムを遣はしけるにイスラエル皆石にて彼を撃て死しめたればレハベアム王急ぎて其車に登りエルサレムに逃たり
19 and Israel transgresseth against the house of David unto this day.
斯イスラエル、ダビデの家に背きて今日にいたる
20 And it cometh to pass, at all Israel's hearing that Jeroboam hath returned, that they send and call him unto the company, and cause him to reign over all Israel; none hath been after the house of David save the tribe of Judah alone.
爰にイスラエル皆ヤラベアムの歸りしを聞て人を遣して彼を集會に招き彼をイスラエルの全家の上に王と爲りユダの支派の外はダビデの家に從ふ者なし
21 And Rehoboam cometh to Jerusalem, and assembleth all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen warriors, to fight with the house of Israel, to bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam son of Solomon.
ソロモンの子レハベアム、エルサレムに至りてユダの全家とベニヤミンの支派の者即ち壯年の武夫十八萬を集む斯してレハベアム國を己に皈さんがためにイスラエルの家と戰はんとせしが
22 And the word of God is unto Shemaiah a man of God, saying,
神の言神の人シマヤに臨みて曰く
23 'Speak unto Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and the rest of the people, saying,
ソロモンの子ユダの王レハベアムおよびユダとベニヤミンの全家並に其餘の民に告て言べし
24 Thus said Jehovah, Ye do not go up nor fight with your brethren the sons of Israel; turn back each to his house, for from Me hath this thing been;' and they hear the word of Jehovah, and turn back to go according to the word of Jehovah.
ヱホバ斯言ふ爾等上るべからず爾等の兄弟なるイスラエルの子孫と戰ふべからず各人其家に歸れ此事は我より出たるなりと彼等ヱホバの言を聽きヱホバの言に循ひて轉り去りぬ
25 And Jeroboam buildeth Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and dwelleth in it, and goeth out thence, and buildeth Penuel;
ヤラベアムはエフライムの山地にシケムを建て其處に住み又其所より出てペヌエルを建たり
26 and Jeroboam saith in his heart, 'Now doth the kingdom turn back to the house of David —
爰にヤラベアム其心に謂けるは國は今ダビデの家に歸らん
27 if this people go up to make sacrifices in the house of Jehovah in Jerusalem, then hath the heart of this people turned back unto their lord, unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they have slain me, and turned back unto Rehoboam king of Judah.'
若此民エルサレムにあるヱホバの家に禮物を献げんとて上らば此民の心ユダの王なる其主レハベアムに歸りて我を殺しユダの王レハベアムに歸らんと
28 And the king taketh counsel, and maketh two calves of gold, and saith unto them, 'Enough to you of going up to Jerusalem; lo, thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.'
是に於て王計議て二の金の犢を造り人々に言けるは爾らのエルサレムに上ること旣に足りイスラエルよ爾をエジブトの地より導き上りし汝の神を視よと
29 And he setteth the one in Beth-El, and the other he hath put in Dan,
而して彼一をベテルに安ゑ一をダンに置り
30 and this thing becometh a sin, and the people go before the one — unto Dan.
此事罪となれりそは民ダンに迄往て其一の前に詣たればなり
31 And he maketh the house of high places, and maketh priests of the extremities of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi;
彼又崇邱の家を建てレビの子孫にあらざる凡民を祭司となせり
32 and Jeroboam maketh a festival in the eighth month, in the fifteenth day of the month, like the festival that [is] in Judah, and he offereth on the altar — so did he in Beth-El — to sacrifice to the calves which he made, and he hath appointed in Beth-El the priests of the high places that he made.
ヤラベアム八月に節期を定めたり即ち其月の十五日なりユダにある節期に等し而して壇の上に上りたりベテルにて彼斯爲し其作りたる犢に禮物を献げたり又彼其造りたる崇邱の祭司をベテルに立たり
33 And he offereth up on the altar that he made in Beth-El, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month that he devised of his own heart, and he maketh a festival to the sons of Israel, and offereth on the altar — to make perfume.
かく彼其ベテルに造れる壇の上に八月の十五日に上れり是は彼が己の心より造り出したる月なり而してイスラエルの人々のために節期を定め壇の上にのぼりて香を焚り
