< 列王記Ⅰ 13 >
1 視よ爰に神の人ヱホバの言に由てユダよりベテルに來れり時にヤラベアムは壇の上に立て香を焚ゐたり
And beholde, there came a man of God out of Iudah (by the commandement of the Lord) vnto Beth-el, and Ieroboam stoode by the altar to offer incense.
2 神の人乃ちヱホバの言を以て壇に向ひて呼はり言けるは壇よ壇よヱホバ斯言たまふ視よダビデの家にヨシアと名くる一人の子生るべし彼爾の上に香を焚く所の崇邱の祭司を爾の上に献げん且人の骨爾の上に燒れんと
And he cryed against the altar by the comandement of the Lord, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord, Beholde, a child shalbe borne vnto the house of Dauid, Iosiah by name, and vpon thee shall he sacrifice the Priestes of the hie places that burne incense vpon thee, and they shall burne mens bones vpon thee.
3 是日彼異蹟を示して言けるは是はヱホバの言たまへる事の異蹟なり視よ壇は裂け其上にある灰は傾出んと
And he gaue a signe the same time, saying, This is the signe, that the Lord hath spoken, Behold, the altar shall rent, and the ashes that are vpon it, shall fall out.
4 ヤラベアム王神の人がベテルにある壇に向ひて呼はりたる言を聞る時其手を壇より伸し彼を執へよと言けるが其彼に向ひて伸したる手枯て再び屈縮ることを得ざりき
And when the King had heard the saying of the man of God, which he had cryed against the altar in Beth-el, Ieroboam stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, Lay holde on him: but his hande which he put foorth against him, dryed vp, and he could not pull it in againe to him.
5 しかして神の人がヱホバの言を以て示したる異蹟の如く壇は裂け灰は壇より傾出たり
The altar also claue asunder, and the ashes fell out from the altar, according to the signe, which the man of God had giuen by the commandement of the Lord.
6 王答て神の人に言けるは請ふ爾の神ヱホバの面を和めわが爲に祈りてわが手を本に復しめよ神の人乃ちヱホバの面を和めければ王の手本に復りて前のごとくに成り
Then the King answered, and saide vnto the man of God, I beseeche thee, pray vnto ye Lord thy God, and make intercession for me, that mine hand may bee restored vnto me. And the man of God besought the Lord, and the Kings hand was restored, and became as it was afore.
7 是において王神の人に言けるは我と與に家に來りて身を息めよ我爾に禮物を與へんと
Then the King sayde vnto the man of God, Come home with mee, that thou mayest dyne, and I will giue thee a reward.
8 神の人王に言けるは爾假令爾の家の半を我に與ふるも我は爾とともに入じ又此所にてパンを食ず水を飮ざるべし
But the man of God saide vnto the King, If thou wouldest giue me halfe thine house, I would not goe in with thee, neither woulde I eate bread nor drinke water in this place.
9 其はヱホバの言我にパンを食ふなかれ水を飮なかれ又爾が往る途より歸るなかれと命じたればなりと
For so was it charged mee by the worde of the Lord, saying, Eate no bread nor drinke water, nor turne againe by the same way that thou camest.
10 斯彼他途を往き自己がベテルに來れる途よりは歸らざりき
So he went another way and returned not by the way that he came to Beth-el.
11 爰にベテルに一人の老たる預言者住ゐたりしが其子等來りて是日神の人がベテルにて爲たる諸事を彼に宣たり亦神の人の王に言たる言をも其父に宣たり
And an olde Prophet dwelt in Beth-el, and his sonnes came and tolde him all ye woorkes, that the man of God had done that day in Beth-el, and the wordes which he had spoken vnto the King, tolde they their father.
12 其父彼等に彼は何の途を往しやといふ其子等ユダより來りし神の人の往たる途を見たればなり
And their father sayde vnto them, What way went he? and his sonnes shewed him what waye the man of God went, which came from Iudah.
13 彼其子等に言けるは我ために驢馬に鞍おけと彼等驢馬に鞍おきければ彼之に乗り
And hee saide vnto his sonnes, Saddle mee the asse. Who sadled him the asse, and hee rode thereon,
14 神の人の後に往きて橡の樹の下に坐するを見之にいひけるは汝はユダより來れる神の人なるか其人然りと言ふ
And went after the man of God, and found him sitting vnder an oke: and he saide vnto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Iudah? And he sayd, Yea.
15 彼其人にいひけるは我と偕に家に往てパンを食へ
Then he said vnto him, Come home with me, and eate bread.
16 其人いふ我は汝と偕に歸る能はず汝と偕に入あたはず又我は此處にて爾と偕にパンを食ず水を飮じ
But he answered, I may not returne with thee, nor go in with thee, neither wil I eate bread nor drinke water with thee in this place.
17 其はヱホバの言我に爾彼處にてパンを食ふなかれ水を飮なかれ又爾が至れる所の途より歸り往なかれと言たればなりと
For it was charged me by the word of the Lord, saying, Thou shalt eate no bread, nor drinke water there, nor turne againe to goe by the way that thou wentest.
18 彼其人にいひけるは我も亦爾の如く預言者なるが天の使ヱホバの言を以て我に告て彼を爾と偕に爾の家に携かへり彼にパンを食はしめ水を飮しめよといへりと是其人を誑けるなり
And he said vnto him, I am a Prophet also as thou art, and an Angel spake vnto me by the worde of the Lord, saying, Bring him againe with thee into thine house, that hee may eate bread and drinke water: but he lyed vnto him.
19 是において其人彼と偕に歸り其家にてパンを食ひ水を飮り
So he went againe with him, and did eate bread in his house, and dranke water.
20 彼等が席に坐せし時ヱホバの言其人を携歸し預言者に臨みければ
And as they sate at the table, the worde of the Lord came vnto the Prophet, that brought him againe.
21 彼ユダより來れる神の人に向ひて呼はり言けるはヱホバ斯言たまふ爾ヱホバの口に違き爾の神ヱホバの爾に命じたまひし命令を守らずして歸り
And hee cried vnto the man of God that came from Iudah, saying, Thus sayeth the Lord, Because thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the Lord, and hast not kept the commandement which the Lord thy God commanded thee,
22 ヱホバの爾にパンを食ふなかれ水を飮なかれと言たまひし處にてパンを食ひ水を飮たれば爾の屍は爾の父祖の墓に至らざるべしと
But camest backe againe, and hast eaten bread and drunke water in the place (whereof he did say vnto thee, Thou shalt eate no bread nor drinke any water) thy carkeis shall not come vnto the sepulchre of thy fathers.
23 其人のパンを食ひ水を飮し後彼其人のため即ち己が携歸りたる預言者のために驢馬に鞍おけり
And when he had eaten bread and drunke, he sadled him the asse, to wit, to the Prophet whome he had brought againe.
24 斯て其人往けるが獅子途にて之に遇ひて之を殺せり而して其屍は途に棄られ驢馬は其傍に立ち獅子も亦其屍の側に立り
And when hee was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slewe him, and his body was cast in the way, and the asse stoode thereby: the lion stood by the corps also.
25 人々經過て途に棄られたる屍と其屍の側に立る獅子を見て來り彼老たる預言者の住る邑にて語れり
And beholde, men that passed by, sawe the carkeis cast in the way, and the lion standing by the corps: and they came and tolde it in ye towne where the olde Prophet dwelt.
26 彼人を途より携歸りたる預言者聞て言けるは其はヱホバの口に違きたる神の人なりヱホバの彼に言たまひし言の如くヱホバ彼を獅子に付したまひて獅子彼を裂き殺せりと
And when the Prophet that brought him backe againe from the waye, hearde thereof, hee sayde, It is the man of God, who hath bene disobedient vnto the commandement of the Lord: therefore the Lord hath deliuered him vnto the lion, which hath rent him and slayne him, according to the worde of the Lord, which hee spake vnto him.
27 しかして其子等に語りて言けるは我ために驢馬に鞍おけと彼等鞍おきければ
And he spake to his sonnes, saying, Saddle me the asse. And they sadled him.
28 彼往て其屍の途に棄られ驢馬と獅子の其屍の傍に立るを見たり獅子は屍を食はず驢馬をも裂ざりき
And he went and founde his body cast in the way, and the asse and the lion stoode by the corps: and the lion had not eaten the bodie, nor torne the asse.
29 預言者乃ち神の人の屍を取あげて之を驢馬に載せて携歸れりしかして其老たる預言者邑に入り哀哭みて之を葬れり
And the Prophet tooke vp the body of the man of God, and layed it vpon the asse, and brought it againe, and the olde Prophet came to the citie, to lament and burie him.
30 即ち其屍を自己の墓に置め皆之がために嗚呼わが兄弟よといひて哀哭り
And hee layed his bodie in his owne graue, and they lamented ouer him, saying, Alas, my brother.
31 彼人を葬りし後彼其子等に語りて言けるは我が死たる時は神の人を葬りたる墓に我を葬りわが骨を彼の骨の側に置めよ
And when he had buried him, hee spake to his sonnes, saying, When I am dead, burie ye mee also in the sepulchre, wherein the man of God is buried: lay my bones beside his bones.
32 其は彼がヱホバの言を以てベテルにある壇にむかひ又サマリアの諸邑に在る崇邱の凡の家に向ひて呼はりたる言は必ず成べければなり
For that thing which he cried by the word of the Lord against the altar that is in Beth-el, and against all the houses of the hie places, which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to passe.
33 斯事の後ヤラベアム其惡き途を離れ歸ずして復凡の民を崇邱の祭司と爲り即ち誰にても好む者は之を立てければ其人は崇邱の祭司と爲り
Howbeit after this, Ieroboam conuerted not from his wicked way, but turned againe, and made of the lowest of the people Priests of the hie places. Who would, might consecrate him selfe, and be of the Priestes of the hie places.
34 此事ヤラベアムの家の罪戻となりて遂に之をして地の表面より消失せ滅亡に至らしむ
And this thing turned to sinne vnto the house of Ieroboam, euen to roote it out, and destroy it from the face of the earth.
