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
A man of God came out of Judah by the word of Yahweh to Bethel. Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn 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
He cried against the altar by the word of Yahweh: “Altar, altar! This is what Yahweh says, 'See, a son named Josiah will be born to the family of David, and on you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who now burn incense on you. On you they will burn human bones.'”
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
Then the man of God gave a sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign that Yahweh has spoken: 'Look, the altar will be split apart, and the ashes on it will be poured 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
When the king heard what the man of God said, that he had cried out against the altar at Bethel, Jeroboam reached out with his hand from the altar, saying, “Seize him.” Then the hand with which he had reached out against the man dried up, so that he could not draw it back to himself.
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 was also split apart and the ashes poured out from the altar, as described by the sign that the man of God had given by the word of Yahweh.)
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
King Jeroboam answered and said to the man of God, “Plead for the favor of Yahweh your God and pray for me, so that my hand may be restored to me again.” So the man of God prayed to Yahweh, and the king's hand was restored to him again, and it became as it was before.
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
The king said to the man of God, “Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you 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
The man of God said to the king, “Even if you give me half your possessions, I will not go with you, nor will I eat food or drink 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
because Yahweh commanded me by his word, 'You will eat no bread nor drink water, nor return by the way that you came.'”
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 the man of God left another way and did not return to his home by the way that he had come to Bethel.
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
Now there was an old prophet living in Bethel, and one of his sons came and told him all the things that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. His sons also told him the words that the man of God had spoken to the king.
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
Their father said to them, “Which way did he go?” Now his sons had seen the way the man of God from Judah had gone.
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
So he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled the donkey and he rode off on it.
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
The old prophet went after the man of God and found him sitting under an oak tree; and he said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” He answered, “I am.”
15 彼其人にいひけるは我と偕に家に往てパンを食へ
Then the old prophet said to him, “Come home with me and eat food.”
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
The man of God answered, “I may not return with you nor go in with you, neither will I eat food nor drink water with you 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
because it was commanded to me by the word of Yahweh, 'You will eat no food nor drink water there, nor return by the way that you came.'”
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
So the old prophet said to him, “I also am a prophet as you are, and an angel spoke to me by the word of Yahweh, saying, 'Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat food and drink water.'” But he was lying to the man of God.
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 the man of God went back with the old prophet and ate food in his house and drank 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
As they sat at the table, the word of Yahweh came to the prophet who had brought him back,
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 he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “Yahweh says, 'Because you have been disobedient to the word of Yahweh and have not kept the command that Yahweh your God gave you,
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 came back and have eaten food and drunk water in the place about which Yahweh told you to eat no food and drink no water, your body will not be buried in the tomb of your 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
After he had eaten food and after he had drunk, the prophet saddled the donkey of the man of God, the man who had come back with him.
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
When the man of God was gone, a lion met him on the road and killed him, and his body was left on the road. Then the donkey stood by it, and the lion also stood by the body.
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
When men passed by and saw the body left on the road, and the lion standing by the body, they came and told it in the city where the old prophet lived.
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
When the prophet who had brought him back from the way heard it, he said, “It is the man of God who disobeyed the word of Yahweh. Therefore Yahweh gave him to the lion, which tore him to pieces and killed him, just as the word of Yahweh warned 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
So the old prophet spoke to his sons, saying, “Saddle my donkey,” and they saddled it.
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
He went and found the body left in the road, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body. The lion had not eaten the body, nor attacked the donkey.
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
The prophet took up the body of the man of God, laid it on the donkey, and brought it back. He came to his own city to mourn and to bury 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
He laid the body in his own grave, and they mourned over him, saying, “Woe, 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
Then after he had buried him, the old prophet spoke to his sons, saying, “When I am dead, bury me in the tomb in which 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 the message he declared by the word of Yahweh, against the altar in Bethel and against all the houses on the high places in the cities of Samaria, will certainly happen.”
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
After this Jeroboam did not turn from his evil way, but continued to appoint common priests for the high places from among all sorts of people. Any who would serve he consecrated as a priest.
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
This matter became sin to the family of Jeroboam and caused his family to be destroyed and to be exterminated from the face of the earth.
