< 2 Kings 23 >
1 And the king sendeth, and they gather unto him all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem,
是において王人をつかはしてユダとヱルサレムの長老をことごとく集め
2 and the king goeth up to the house of Jehovah, and every man of Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, from small unto great, and he readeth in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that is found in the house of Jehovah.
而して王ヱホバの家にのぼれりユダの諸の人々ヱルサレムの一切の民および祭司預言者ならびに大小の民みな之にしたがふ王すなはちヱホバの家に見あたりし契約の書の言をことごとくかれらの耳に讀きかせ
3 And the king standeth by the pillar, and maketh the covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep His commands, and His testimonies, and His statutes, with all the heart, and with all the soul, to establish the words of this covenant that are written on this book, and all the people stand in the covenant.
而して王高座の上に立てヱホバの前に契約をなしヱホバにしたがひて歩み心をつくし精神をつくしてその誡命と律法と法度を守り此書にしるされたる此契約の言をおこなはんと言り民みなその契約に加はりぬ
4 And the king commandeth Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out from the temple of Jehovah all the vessels that are made for Baal, and for the shrine, and for all the host of the heavens, and he burneth them at the outside of Jerusalem, in the fields of Kidron, and hath borne their ashes to Beth-El.
かくして王祭司の長ヒルキヤとその下にたつところの祭司等および門守等に命じてヱホバの家よりしてバアルとアシラと天の衆群との爲に作りたる諸の器と執いださしめヱルサレムの外にてキデロンの野にこれを燒きその灰をベテルに持ゆかしめ
5 And he hath caused to cease the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah have appointed, (and they make perfume in high places, in cities of Judah and suburbs of Jerusalem, ) and those making perfume to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of the heavens.
又ユダの王等が立てダの邑々とヱルサレムの四圍なる崇邱に香をたかしめたる祭司等を廢しまたバアルと日月星宿と天の衆群とに香を焚く者等をも廢せり
6 And he bringeth out the shrine from the house of Jehovah to the outside of Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burneth it at the brook Kidron, and beateth it small to dust, and casteth its dust on the grave of the sons of the people.
彼またヱホバの家よりアシラ像をとりいだしヱルサレムの外に持ゆきてキデロン川にいたりキデロン川においてこれを燒きこれを打碎きて粉となしその粉を民の墓に散し
7 And he breaketh down the houses of the whoremongers that [are] in the house of Jehovah, where the women are weaving houses for the shrine.
またヱホバの家の旁にある男娼の家を毀てり其處はまた婦人がアシラのために天幕を織ところなりき
8 And he bringeth in all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defileth the high places where the priests have made perfume, from Geba unto Beer-Sheba, and hath broken down the high places of the gates that [are] at the opening of the gate of Joshua, head of the city, that [is] on a man's left hand at the gate of the city;
彼またユダの邑々より祭司をことごとく召よせまた祭司が香をたきたる崇邱をばゲバよりベエルシバまでこれを汚しまた門にある崇邱を毀てり是等の崇邱は一は邑の宰ヨシユアの門の入口にあり一は邑の門にありて之に入る人の左にあたる
9 only, the priests of the high places come not up unto the altar of Jehovah in Jerusalem, but they have eaten unleavened things in the midst of their brethren.
崇邱の祭司等はエルサレムにおいてヱホバの壇にのぼることをせざりき但し彼等はその兄弟の中にありて無酵パンを食へり
10 And he hath defiled Topheth, that [is] in the valley of the son of Hinnom, so that no man doth cause his son and his daughter to pass over through fire to Molech.
王また人がその子息息女に火の中を通らしめて之をモロクにささぐることなからんためにベンヒンノムの谷にあるトペテを汚し
11 And he causeth to cease the horses that the kings of Judah have given to the sun from the entering in of the house of Jehovah, by the chamber of Nathan-Melech the eunuch, that [is] in the suburbs, and the chariots of the sun he hath burnt with fire.
またユダの王等が日のためにささげてヱホバの家の門における馬をうつせりこの馬はパルリムにある侍從ナタンメレクの室にをりしなり彼また日の車を皆火に焚り
12 And the altars that [are] on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, that the kings of Judah made, and the altars that Manasseh made in the two courts of the house of Jehovah, hath the king broken down, and removeth thence, and hath cast their dust unto the brook Kidron.
またユダの王等がアハズの桜の屋背につくりたる祭壇とマナセがヱホバの家の兩の庭につくりたる祭壇とは王これを毀ちこれを其處より取くづしてその碎片をキデロン川になげ捨たり
13 And the high places that [are] on the front of Jerusalem, that [are] on the right of the mount of corruption, that Solomon king of Israel had built to Ashtoreth abomination of the Zidonians, and Chemosh abomination of Moab, and to Milcom abomination of the sons of Ammon, hath the king defiled.
またイスラエルの王ソロモンが昔シドン人の憎むべき者なるアシタロテとモアブ人の憎むべき者なるケモシとアンモンの子孫の憎むべき者なるモロクのためにヱルサレムの前において殲滅山の右に築きたる崇邱も王これを汚し
14 And he hath broken in pieces the standing-pillars, and cutteth down the shrines, and filleth their place with bones of men;
また諸の像をうち碎きアシラ像をきりたふし人の骨をもてその處々に充せり
15 and also the altar that [is] in Beth-El, the high place that Jeroboam son of Nebat made, by which he made Israel sin, both that altar and the high place he hath broken down, and doth burn the high place — he hath beat it small to dust, and hath burnt the shrine.
またベテルにある壇かのイスラエルに罪を犯させたるネバテの子ヤラベアムが造りし崇邱すなはちその壇もその崇邱も彼これを毀ちその崇邱を焚てこれを粉にうち碎きかつアシラ像を焚り
16 And Josiah turneth, and seeth the graves that [are] there in the mount, and sendeth and taketh the bones out of the graves, and burneth [them] on the altar, and defileth it, according to the word of Jehovah that the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.
茲にヨシア身をめぐらして山に墓のあるを見人をやりてその墓より骨をとりきたらしめ之をその壇の上に焚てそれを汚せり即ち神の人が宣たるヱホバの言のごとし昔神の人この言語を宣しことありしなり
17 And he saith, 'What [is] this sign that I see?' and the men of the city say unto him, 'The grave of the man of God who hath come from Judah, and proclaimeth these things that thou hast done concerning the altar of Beth-El.'
ヨシアまた其處に見ゆる碑は何なるやと言しに邑の人々これに告て其は汝がベテルの壇にむかひて爲るこの事等をユダより來りて宣たる神の人の墓なりと言ければ
18 And he saith, 'Let him alone, let no man touch his bones;' and they let his bones escape, with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.
すなはち其には手をつくるなかれ誰もその骨を移すなかれと言り是をもてその骨とサマリヤより來りし預言者の骨には手をつけざりき
19 And also all the houses of the high places that [are] in the cities of Samaria, that the kings of Israel made to provoke to anger, hath Josiah turned aside, and doth to them according to all the deeds that he did in Beth-El.
またイスラエルの王等がサマリヤの邑々に造りてヱホバを怒せし崇邱の家も皆ヨシアこれを取のぞき凡てそのベテルになせしごとくに之に事をなせり
20 And he slayeth all the priests of the high places who [are] there by the altars, and burneth the bones of man upon them, and turneth back to Jerusalem.
彼また其處にある崇邱の祭司等を壇の上にころし人の骨を壇の上に焚てヱルサレムに歸りぬ
21 And the king commandeth the whole of the people, saying, 'Make ye a passover to Jehovah your God, as it is written on this book of the covenant.'
而して王一切の民に命じて言ふ汝らこの契約の書に記されたるごとくに汝らの神ヱホバに逾越の節を執行ふべしと
22 Surely there hath not been made like this passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, even all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Judah;
士師のイスラエルを治めし日より已來もまたユダの王等とイスラエルの王等の代にも斯のごとき逾越の節を守りしことはなかりしが
23 but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, hath this passover been made to Jehovah in Jerusalem.
ヨシア王の十八年にいたりてヱルサレムにて斯逾越節をヱホバに守りしなり
24 And also, those having familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah, and in Jerusalem, hath Josiah put away, in order to establish the words of the law that are written on the book that Hilkiah the priest hath found in the house of Jehovah.
ヨシアまた祭司ヒルキヤがヱホバの家にて見いだせし書に記されたる律法の言を世におこなはんために口寄者と卜筮師とテラピムと偶像およびユダの地とヱルサレムに見ゆる諸の憎むべき者を取のぞけり
25 And like him there hath not been before him a king who turned back unto Jehovah with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses, and after him there hath none risen like him.
ヨシアの如くに心を盡し精神を盡し力を盡してモーセの法に全くしたがひてヱホに歸向せし王はヨシアの先にはあらざりきまた彼の後にも彼のごとき者はなし
26 Only, Jehovah hath not turned back from the fierceness of His great anger with which His anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh provoked him,
斯有しかどもヱホバはユダにむかひて怒を發したるその大いなる燃たつ震怒を息ることをしたまはざりき是はマナセ諸の憤らしき事をもてヱホバを怒らせしによるなり
27 and Jehovah saith, 'Also Judah I turn aside from my presence, as I turned Israel aside, and I have rejected this city that I have chosen — Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My name is there.'
ヱホバすなはち言たまはく我イスラエルを移せし如くにユダをもわが目の前より拂ひ移し我が選みし此ヱルサレムの邑と吾名をそこに置んといひしこの殿とを棄べしと
28 And the rest of the matters of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
ヨシアのその餘の行爲とその凡て爲たる事はユダの王の歴代志の書にしるさるるにあらずや
29 In his days hath Pharaoh-Nechoh king of Egypt come up against the king of Asshur, by the river Phrat, and king Josiah goeth out to meet him, and he putteth him to death in Megiddo, when he seeth him.
ヨシアの代にエジプトの王パロネコ、アッスリヤの王と戰はんとてユフラテ河をさして上り來しがヨシア王これを防がんとて進みゆきければ彼これに出あひてメギドンにこれを殺せり
30 And his servants cause him to ride dying from Megiddo, and bring him in to Jerusalem, and bury him in his own grave, and the people of the land take Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and anoint him, and cause him to reign instead of his father.
その僕等すなはちこれが死骸を車にのせてメギドンよりヱルサレムに持ゆきこれをその墓に葬れり國の民ここに於てヨシアの子ヱホアハズを取りこれに膏をそそぎて王となしてその父にかはらしめたり
31 A son of twenty and three years [is] Jehoahaz in his reigning, and three months he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah,
ヱホアハズは王となれる時二十三歳にしてヱルサレムにて三月世を治めたりその母はリブナのエレミヤの女にして名をハムタルと云ふ
32 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers did,
ヱホアハズはその先祖等が凡てなしたるごとくにヱホバの目の前に惡をなせしが
33 and Pharaoh-Nechoh bindeth him in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, from reigning in Jerusalem, and he putteth a fine on the land — a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
パロネコ彼をハマテの地のリブラに繋ぎおきてヱルサレムにおいて王となりをることを得ざらしめ且銀百タラント金一タラントの罰金を國に課したり
34 And Pharaoh-Nechoh causeth Eliakim son of Josiah to reign instead of Josiah his father, and turneth his name to Jehoiakim, and Jehoahaz he hath taken away, and he cometh in to Egypt, and dieth there.
而してパロネコはヨシアの子エリアキムをしてその父ヨシアにかはりて王とならしめ彼の名をヱホヤキムと改めヱホアハズを曳て去ぬヱホアハズはエジプトにいたりて其處に死り
35 And the silver and the gold hath Jehoiakim given to Pharaoh; only he valued the land to give the silver by the command of Pharaoh; from each, according to his valuation, he exacted the silver and the gold, from the people of the land, to give to Pharaoh-Nechoh.
ヱホヤキムは金銀をパロにおくれり即ち彼國に課してパロの命のままに金を出さしめ國の民各人に割つけて金銀を征取りてこれをパロネコにおくれり
36 A son of twenty and five years [is] Jehoiakim in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Zebudah daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah,
ヱホヤキムは二十五歳にして王となりヱルサレムにおいて十一年世を治めたりその母はルマのペダヤの女にして名をゼブタと云ふ
37 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers did.
ヱホヤキムはその先祖等が凡てなしたるごとくにヱホバの目の前に惡をなせり
