< 2 Kings 17 >
1 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah reigned hath Hoshea son of Elah in Samaria, over Israel — nine years,
ユダの王アハズの十二年にエラの子ホセア王となりサマリヤにおいて九年イスラエルを治めたり
2 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, only, not as the kings of Israel who were before him;
彼ヱホバの目の前に惡をなせしがその前にありしイスラエルの王等のごとくはあらざりき
3 against him came up Shalmaneser king of Asshur, and Hoshea is to him a servant, and doth render to him a present.
アッスリヤの王シヤルマネセル攻のぼりたればホセアこれに臣服して貢を納たりしが
4 And the king of Asshur findeth in Hoshea a conspiracy, in that he hath sent messengers unto So king of Egypt, and hath not caused a present to go up to the king of Asshur, as year by year, and the king of Asshur restraineth him, and bindeth him in a house of restraint.
アッスリヤの王つひにホセアの己に叛けるを見たり其は彼使者をエジプトの王ソにおくり且前に歳々なせしごとくに貢をアッスリヤ王に納ざりければなり是においてアツスリヤの王かれを禁錮て獄におけり
5 And the king of Asshur goeth up into all the land, and he goeth up to Samaria, and layeth siege against it three years;
すなはちアッスリヤの王せめ上りて國中を遍くゆきめぐりサマリヤにのぼりゆきて三年が間これをせめ圍みたりしが
6 in the ninth year of Hoshea hath the king of Asshur captured Samaria, and removeth Israel to Asshur, and causeth them to dwell in Halah, and in Habor, [by] the river Gozan, and [in] the cities of the Medes.
ホセアの九年におよびてアッスリヤの王つひにサマリヤを取りイスラエルをアッスリヤに擄へゆきてこれをハラとハボルとゴザン河の邊とメデアの邑々とにおきぬ
7 And it cometh to pass, because the sons of Israel have sinned against Jehovah their God — who bringeth them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt — and fear other gods,
此事ありしはイスラエルの子孫己をエジプトの地より導きのぼりてエジプトの王パロの手を脱しめたるその神ヱホバに對て罪を犯し他の神々を敬ひ
8 and walk in the statutes of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel, and of the kings of Israel that they made;
ヱホバがイスラエルの子孫の前より逐はらひたまひし異邦人の法度にあゆみ又イスラエルの王等の設けし法度にあゆみたるに因てなり
9 and the sons of Israel do covertly things that [are] not right against Jehovah their God, and build for them high places in all their cities, from a tower of the watchers unto the fenced city,
イスラエルの子孫義からぬ事をもてその神ヱホバを掩ひかくしその邑々に崇邱をたてたり看守臺より城にいたるまで然り
10 and set up for them standing-pillars and shrines on every high height, and under every green tree,
彼等一切の高丘の上一切の靑樹の下に偶像とアシラ像を立て
11 and make perfume there in all high places, like the nations that Jehovah removed from their presence, and do evil things to provoke Jehovah,
ヱホバがかれらの前より移したまひし異邦人のなせしごとくにその崇邱に香を焚き又惡を行ひてヱホバを怒らせたり
12 and serve the idols, of which Jehovah said to them, 'Ye do not do this thing;'
ヱホバかれらに汝等これらの事を爲べからずと言おきたまひしに彼等偶像に事ふることを爲しなり
13 And Jehovah testifieth against Israel, and against Judah, by the hand of every prophet, and every seer, saying, 'Turn back from your evil ways, and keep My commands, My statutes, according to all the law that I commanded your fathers, and that I sent unto you by the hand of My servants the prophets;'
ヱホバ諸の預言者諸の先見者によりてイスラエルとユダに見證をたて汝等翻へりて汝らの惡き道を離れわが誡命わが法度をまもり我が汝等の先祖等に命じまたわが僕なる預言者等によりて汝等に傳へし法に率由ふやうにせよと言たまへり
14 and they have not hearkened, and harden their neck, like the neck of their fathers, who did not remain stedfast in Jehovah their God,
然るに彼ら聽ことをせずしてその項を強くせり彼らの先祖等がその神ヱホバを信ぜずしてその項を強くしたるが如し
15 and reject His statutes and His covenant that He made with their fathers, and His testimonies that He testified against them, and go after the vain thing, and become vain, and after the nations that are round about them, of whom Jehovah commanded them not to do like them;
彼等はヱホバの法度を棄てヱホバがその先祖等と結びたまひし契約を棄てまたその彼等に見證したまひし證言を棄て且虚妄物にしたがひて虚浮なりまたその周圍なる異邦人の跡をふめり是はヱホバが是のごとくに事をなすべからずと彼らに命じ給ひし者なり
16 And they forsake all the commands of Jehovah their God, and make to them a molten image — two calves, and make a shrine, and bow themselves to all the host of the heavens, and serve Baal,
彼等その神ヱホバの諸の誡命を遺て己のために二の牛の像を鑄なし又アシラ像を造り天の衆群を拝み且バアルに事へ
17 and cause their sons and their daughters to pass over through fire, and divine divinations, and use enchantments, and sell themselves to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke Him;
またその子息息女に火の中を通らしめ卜筮および禁厭をなしヱホバの目の前に惡を爲ことに身を委ねてその怒を惹起せり
18 That Jehovah sheweth himself very angry against Israel, and turneth them aside from His presence; none hath been left, only the tribe of Judah by itself.
是をもてヱホバ大にイスラエルを怒りこれをその前より除きたまひたればユダの支派のほかは遺れる者なし
19 Also Judah hath not kept the commands of Jehovah their God, and they walk in the statutes of Israel that they had made.
然るにユダもまたその神ヱホバの誡命を守ずしてイスラエルの立たる法度にあゆみたれば
20 And Jehovah kicketh against all the seed of Israel, and afflicteth them, and giveth them into the hand of spoilers, till that He hath cast them out of His presence,
ヱホバ、イスラエルの苗裔ぞことごとく棄これを苦しめこれをその掠むる者の手に付して遂にこれをその前より打すてたまへり
21 for He hath rent Israel from the house of David, and they make Jeroboam son of Nebat king, and Jeroboam driveth Israel from after Jehovah, and hath caused them to sin a great sin,
すなはちイスラエルをダビデの家より裂はなしたまひしかばイスラエル、ネバテの子ヤラベアムを王となせしにヤラベアム、イスラエルをしてヱホバにしたがふことを止しめてこれに大なる罪を犯さしめたりしが
22 and the sons of Israel walk in all the sins of Jeroboam that he did, they have not turned aside therefrom,
イスラエルの子孫はヤラベアムのなせし諸の罪をおこなひつづけてこれに離るることなかりければ
23 till that Jehovah hath turned Israel aside from His presence, as He spake by the hand of all His servants the prophets, and Israel is removed from off its land to Asshur, unto this day.
遂にヱホバその僕なる諸の預言者をもて言たまひしごとくにイスラエルをその前より除きたまへりイスラエルはすなはちその國よりアッスリヤにうつされて今日にいたる
24 And the king of Asshur bringeth in from Babylon and from Cutha, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and Sepharvaim, and causeth [them] to dwell in the cities of Samaria instead of the sons of Israel, and they possess Samaria, and dwell in its cities;
斯てアッスリヤの王バビロン、クタ、アワ、ハマテおよびセパルワイムより人をおくりてこれをイスラエルの子孫の代にサマリヤの邑々に置ければその人々サマリヤを有ちてその邑々に住しが
25 and it cometh to pass, at the commencement of their dwelling there, they have not feared Jehovah, and Jehovah doth send among them the lions, and they are destroying among them.
その彼處に始て住る時には彼等ヱホバを敬ふことをせざりしかばヱホバ獅子をかれらの中に送りたまひてその獅子かれら若干を殺せり
26 And they speak to the king of Asshur, saying, 'The nations that thou hast removed, and dost place in the cities of Samaria, have not known the custom of the God of the land, and He sendeth among them the lions, and lo, they are destroying them, as they do not know the custom of the God of the land.'
是によりてアッスリヤの王に告て言ふ汝が移てサマリヤの邑々におきたまひしかの國々の民はこの地の神の道を知ざるが故にその神獅子をかれらの中におくりて獅子かれらを殺せり是は彼等その國の神の道を知ざるに因てなり
27 And the king of Asshur commandeth, saying, 'Cause to go thither one of the priests whom ye removed thence, and they go and dwell there, and he doth teach them the custom of the God of the land.'
アッスリヤの王すなはち命を下して言ふ汝等が彼處より曳きたりし祭司一人を彼處に携ゆけ即ち彼をして彼處にいたりて住しめその國の神の道をその人々に敎へしめよと
28 And one of the priests whom they removed from Samaria cometh in, and dwelleth in Beth-El, and he is teaching them how they do fear Jehovah,
是に於てサマリヤより移れし祭司一人きたりてベテルに住みヱホバの敬ふべき事をかれらに敎へたり
29 and they are making each nation its gods, and place [them] in the houses of the high places that the Samaritans have made, each nation in their cities where they are dwelling.
その民はまた各々自分自分の神々を造りてこれをかのサマリア人が造りたる諸の崇邱に安置せり民みなその住る邑々において然なしぬ
30 And the men of Babylon have made Succoth-Benoth, and the men of Cuth have made Nergal, and the men of Hamath have made Ashima,
即ちバビロンの人々はスコテペノテを作りクタの人々はネルガルを作りハマテの人々はアシマを作り
31 and the Avites have made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites are burning their sons with fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, gods of Sepharvim.
アビ人はニブハズとタルタクを作りセパルワイ人は其子女を火に焚てセパルワイムの神アデランメルクおよびアナンメルクに奉げたり
32 And they are fearing Jehovah, and make to themselves from their extremities priests of high places, and they are acting for them in the house of the high places.
彼ら又ヱホバを敬ひ凡俗の民をもて崇邱の祭司となしたれば其人これがために崇邱に家々にて職務をなせり
33 Jehovah they are fearing, and their gods they are serving, according to the custom of the nations whence they removed them.
斯その人々ヱホバを敬ひたりしが亦その携へ出されし國々の風俗にしたがひて自己自己の神々に事へたり
34 Unto this day they are doing according to the former customs — they are not fearing Jehovah, and are not doing according to their statutes, and according to their ordinances, and according to the law, and according to the command, that Jehovah commanded the sons of Jacob whose name He made Israel,
今日にいたるまで彼等は前の習俗にしたがひて事をなしヱホバを敬はず彼等の法度をも例典をも行はず又ヱホバがイスラエルを名けたまひしヤコブの子孫に命じたまひし律法をも誡命をも行はざるなり
35 and Jehovah maketh with them a covenant, and chargeth them, saying, 'Ye do not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them,
昔ヱホバこれと契約をたてこれに命じて言たまひけらく汝等は他の神を敬ふべからずまたこれを拝みこれに事へこれに犠牲をささぐべからず
36 but Jehovah who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a stretched-out arm, Him ye do fear, and to Him ye bow yourselves, and to Him ye do sacrifice;
只大なる能をもて腕を伸て汝等をエジプトの地より導き上りしヱホバをのみ汝等敬ひこれを拝みこれにこれに犠牲をささぐべし
37 and the statutes, and the judgments, and the law, and the command, that He wrote for you, ye observe to do all the days, and ye do not fear other gods;
またその汝等のために録したまへる法度と例典と律法と誡命を汝等謹みて恒に守るべし他の神々を敬ふべからず
38 and the covenant that I have made with you ye do not forget, and ye do not fear other gods;
我が汝等とむすびし契約を汝等忘るべからず又他の神々を敬ふべからず
39 but Jehovah your God ye do fear, and He doth deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies;'
只汝らの神ヱホバを敬ふべし彼なんじらをその諸の敵の手より救ひいださん
40 and they have not hearkened, but according to their former custom they are doing,
然るに彼等は聽ことをせずしてなほ前の習俗にしたがひて事を行へり
41 and these nations are fearing Jehovah, and their graven images they have served, both their sons and their sons' sons; as their fathers did, they are doing unto this day.
偖この國々の民は斯ヱホバを敬ひまたその雕める像に事たりしがその子も孫も共に然りその先祖のなせしごとくに今日までも然なすなり
