2 Kings 3
1 And Jehoram son of Ahab hath reigned over Israel, in Samaria, in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigneth twelve years,
ユダの王ヨシヤパテの十八年にアハブの子ヨラム、サマリヤにありてイスラエルを治め十二年位にありき
2 and doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, only not like his father, and like his mother, and he turneth aside the standing-pillar of Baal that his father made;
かれはヱホバの目のまへに惡をなせしかどもその父母の如くはあらざりきそは彼その父の造りしバアルの像を除きたればなり
3 only to the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that he caused Israel to sin he hath cleaved, he hath not turned aside from it.
されど彼は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の罪を行ひつづけて之をはなれざりき
4 And Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master, and he rendered to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams, [with] wool,
モアブの王メシヤは羊を有つ者にして十萬の羔と十萬の牡羊の毛とをイスラエルの王に納めをりしが
5 and it cometh to pass at the death of Ahab, that the king of Moab transgresseth against the king of Israel.
アハブの死しのちモアブの王はイスラエルの王にそむけり
6 And king Jehoram goeth out in that day from Samaria, and inspecteth all Israel,
是に於てヨラム王其時サマリヤを出てイスラエル人をことごとく集め
7 and goeth and sendeth unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, saying, 'The king of Moab hath transgressed against me; dost thou go with me unto Moab for battle?' and he saith, 'I go up, as I, so thou; as my people, so thy people; as my horses, so thy horses.
また往て人をユダの王ヨシヤパテに遣していはしむモアブの王われに背けり汝われとともにモアブに攻ゆくやと彼いひけるは我上らん我は汝の如くわが民はなんぢの民のごとくまたわが馬は汝の馬の如しと
8 And he saith, 'Where [is] this — the way we go up?' and he saith, 'The way of the wilderness of Edom.'
ヨラムいひけるは我儕いづれの路より上らんかかれいふエドムの曠野の途よりせんと
9 And the king of Israel goeth, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom, and they turn round the way seven days, and there hath been no water for the camp, and for the cattle that [are] at their feet,
イスラエルの王すなはちユダの王およびエドムの王と共に出ゆきけるが行めぐること七日路にして軍勢とこれにしたがふ家畜の飮むべき水なかりしかば
10 and the king of Israel saith, 'Alas, for Jehovah hath called for these three kings, to give them into the hand of Moab.'
イスラエルの王いひけるは嗚呼ヱホバこの三人の王をモアブの手にわたさんと召し集めたまへりと
11 And Jehoshaphat saith, 'Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah, and we seek Jehovah by him?' And one of the servants of the king of Israel answereth and saith, 'Here [is] Elisha son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.'
ヨシヤバテいひけるは我儕が由てヱホバに問ふべきヱホバの預言者此にあらざるやとイスラエルの王の臣僕の一人答へていふエリヤの手に水をそそぎたるシヤパテの子エリシヤ此にあり
12 And Jehoshaphat saith, 'The word of Jehovah is with him;' and go down unto him do the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom.
ヨシヤパテいひけるはヱホバの言彼にありとかくてイスラエルの王およびヨシヤパテとエドムの王かれの許に下りゆきけるに
13 And Elisha saith unto the king of Israel, 'What — to me and to thee? go unto the prophets of thy father, and unto the prophets of thy mother;' and the king of Israel saith to him, 'Nay, for Jehovah hath called for these three kings to give them into the hand of Moab.'
エリシヤ、イスラエルの王に言けるはわれ汝と何の干與あらんや汝の父の預言者と汝の母の預言者の所にゆくべしとイスラエルの王かれにいひけるは然ずそはヱホバこの三人の王をモアブの手に付さんとて召集めたまへばなり
14 And Elisha saith, 'Jehovah of Hosts liveth, before whom I have stood; for unless the face of Jehoshaphat king of Judah I am lifting up, I do not look unto thee, nor see thee;
エリシヤ言けるはわが事ふる萬軍のヱホバは活く我ユダの王ヨシヤパテのためにするにあらすばかならず汝を顧みず汝を見ざらんものを
15 and now, bring to me a minstrel; and it hath been, at the playing of the minstrel, that the hand of Jehovah is on him,
今樂人をわれにつれ來れと而して樂人の樂をなすにおよびてヱホバの手かれに臨みて
16 and he saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, Make this valley ditches — ditches;
彼いひけるはヱホバかくいひたまふ此谷に許多の溝を設けよ
17 for thus said Jehovah, Ye do not see wind, nor do ye see rain, and that valley is full of water, and ye have drunk — ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.
それヱホバかく言ひたまふ汝ら風を見ず雨をも見ざるに此谷に水盈て汝等と汝等の家畜および汝らの獣飮ことを得ん
18 'And this hath been light in the eyes of Jehovah, and he hath given Moab into your hand,
然るも是はヱホバの目には瑣細き事なりヱホバ、モアブ人をも汝らの手にわたしたまはん
19 and ye have smitten every fenced city, and every choice city, and every good tree ye cause to fall, and all fountains of waters ye stop, and every good portion ye mar with stones.'
汝等は保障ある諸の邑と諸の美しき邑とを撃ち諸の佳樹を斫倒し諸の水の井を塞ぎ石をもて諸の善地を壞ふにいたらん
20 And it cometh to pass in the morning, at the ascending of the [morning] -present, that lo, waters are coming in from the way of Edom, and the land is filled with the waters,
かくて朝におよびて供物を献ぐる時に水エドムの途より流れきたりて水國に充つ
21 and all Moab have heard that the kings have come up to fight against them, and they are called together, from every one girding on a girdle and upward, and they stand by the border.
偖またモアブ人はみな王等の己に攻のぼれるを聞しかば甲を著ることを得る以上の者を盡く集めてその境に備へしが
22 And they rise early in the morning, and the sun hath shone on the waters, and the Moabites see, from over-against, the waters red as blood,
朝はやく興いでしに水の上に日昇りゐて對面の水血の如くに赤かりければモアブ人これを見て
23 and say, 'Blood this [is]; the kings have been surely destroyed, and they smite each his neighbour; and now for spoil, Moab!'
いひけるはこれ乃はち血なり王たち戰ひて死たるならん互に相撃たるなるべし然ばモアブよ掠取に行けと
24 And they come in unto the camp of Israel, and the Israelites rise, and smite the Moabites, and they flee from their face; and they enter into Moab, so as to smite Moab,
而してモアブ人イスラエルの陣營に至るにイスラエル人起てこれを撃たればすなはちその前より逃はしれり是においてイスラエル人進みてモアブ人を撃てその國にいり
25 and the cities they break down, and [on] every good portion they cast each his stone, and have filled it, and every fountain of water they stop, and every good tree they cause to fall — till one had left its stones in Kir-Haraseth, and the slingers go round and smite it.
その邑々を撃圮し各石を諸の善地に投てこれに填し水の井をことごとく塞ぎ佳樹をことごとく斫たふし唯キルハラセテにその石をのこせしのみなるに至る但し石を投るもの周りあるきてこれを撃り
26 And the king of Moab seeth that the battle has been too strong for him, and he taketh with him seven hundred men, drawing sword, to cleave through unto the king of Edom, and they have not been able,
モアブ王戰闘の手いたくして當りがたきを見て劍を抜く者七百人をひきゐてエドム王の所にまで衝きいたらんとせしが遂に果さざりしかば
27 and he taketh his son, the first-born who reigneth in his stead, and causeth him to ascend — a burnt-offering on the wall, and there is great wrath against Israel, and they journey from off him, and turn back to the land.
己の位を継べきその長子をとりてこれを石垣の上にささげて燔祭となしたり是に於てイスラエルに大なる憤怒おこりぬ彼等すなはちかれをすててその國に歸れり
