列王記Ⅰ 14

1 當時ヤラベアムの子アビヤ疾ゐたり

At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.

2 ヤラベアム其妻に言けるは請ふ起て装を改へ人をして汝がヤラベアムの妻なるを知しめずしてシロに往け彼處にわが此民の王となるべきを我に告たる預言者アヒヤをる

And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself that thou not be known to be the wife of Jeroboam, and get thee to Shiloh. Behold, there is Ahijah the prophet who spoke concerning me that I should be king over this people.

3 汝の手に十のパン及び菓子と一瓶の蜜を取て彼の所に往け彼汝に此子の如何になるかを示すべしと

And take with thee ten loaves, and cakes, and a cruse of honey, and go to him. He will tell thee what shall become of the child.

4 ヤラベアムの妻是爲し起てシロに往きアヒヤの家に至りしがアヒヤは年齢のために其目凝て見ることを得ざりき

And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were set because of his age.

5 ヱホバ、アヒヤにいひたまひけるは視よヤラベアムの妻其子疾るに因て其に付て汝に一の事を諮んとて來る汝斯々彼に言べし其は彼入り來る時其身を他の人とすべければなり

And Jehovah said to Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam comes to inquire of thee concerning her son, for he is sick. Thus and thus thou shall say to her, for it will be, when she comes in, that she will feign herself to be another woman.

6 彼が戸の所に入來れる時アヒヤ其履聲を聞て言けるはヤラベアムの妻入よ汝何ぞ其身を他の人とするや我汝に嚴酷き事を告るを命ぜらる

And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam. Why feign thou thyself to be another? For I am sent to thee with heavy news.

7 往てヤラベアムに告べしイスラエルの神ヱホバ斯言たまふ我汝を民の中より擧げ我民イスラエルの上に汝を君となし

Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel: Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel,

8 國をダビデの家より裂き離して之を汝に與へたるに汝は我僕ダビデの我が命令を守りて一心に我に從ひ唯わが目に適ふ事のみを爲しが如くならずして

and tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee, and yet thou have not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart to do only that which was right in my eyes,

9 汝の前に在し凡の者よりも惡を爲し往て汝のために他の神と鋳たる像を造り我が怒を激し我を汝の背後に棄たり

but have done evil above all who were before thee, and have gone and made thee other gods, and molten images to provoke me to anger, and have cast me behind thy back,

10 是故に視よ我ヤラベアムの家に災害を下しヤラベアムに屬する男はイスラエルにありて繋がれたる者も繋がれざる者も盡く絶ち人の塵埃を殘りなく除くがごとくヤラベアムの家の後を除くべし

therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam every man-child, he who is shut up and he who is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam as a man sweeps away dung, till it be all gone.

11 ヤラベアムに屬する者の邑に死るをば犬之を食ひ野に死ぬるをば天空の鳥之を食はんヱホバ之を語たまへばなり

He who dies of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat, and he who dies in the field shall the birds of the heavens eat, for Jehovah has spoken it.

12 爾起て爾の家に往け爾の足の邑に入る時子は死ぬべし

Arise thou therefore, get thee to thy house. When thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.

13 而してイスラエル皆彼のために哀みて彼を葬らんヤラベアムに屬する者は唯是のみ墓に入るべし其はヤラベアムの家の中にて彼はイスラエルの神ヱホバに向ひて善き意を懐けばなり

And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him, for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.

14 ヱホバ、イスラエル上に一人の王を興さん彼其日にヤラベアムの家を斷絶べし但し何れの時なるか今即ち是なり

Moreover Jehovah will raise up a king for him over Israel who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day. But what? Even now.

15 又ヱホバ、イスラエルを撃て水に搖撼ぐ葦の如くになしたまひイスラエルを其父祖に賜ひし此善地より抜き去りて之を河の外に散したまはん彼等其アシラ像を造りてヱホバの怒を激したればなり

For Jehovah will smite Israel as a reed is shaken in the water. And he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River because they have made their Asherim, provoking Jehovah to anger.

16 ヱホバ、ヤラベアムの罪の爲にイスラエルを棄たまふべし彼は罪を犯し又イスラエルに罪を犯さしめたりと

And he will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he has sinned, and with which he has made Israel to sin.

17 ヤラベアムの妻起て去テルザに至りて家の閾に臻れる時子は死り

And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah. As she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.

18 イスラエル皆彼を葬り彼の爲に哀めりヱホバの其僕預言者アヒヤによりて言たまへる言の如し

And all Israel buried him, and mourned for him, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the prophet.

19 ヤラベアムの其餘の行爲彼が如何に戰ひしか如何に世を治めしかは視よイスラエルの王の歴代志の書に記載る

And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

20 ヤラベアムの王たりし日は二十二年なりき彼其父祖と偕に寝りて其子ナダブ之に代りて王となれり

And the days which Jeroboam reigned were twenty-two years, and he slept with his fathers. And Nadab his son reigned in his stead.

21 ソロモンの子レハベアムはユダに王たりきレハベアムは王と成る時四十一歳なりしがヱホバの其名を置んとてイスラエルの諸の支派の中より選みたまひし邑なるエルサレムにて十七年王たりき其母の名はナアマといひてアンモニ人なり

And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.

22 ユダ其父祖の爲たる諸の事に超てヱホバの目の前に惡を爲し其犯したる罪に由てヱホバの震怒を激せり

And Judah did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that their fathers had done.

23 其は彼等も諸の高山の上と諸の靑木の下に崇邱と碑とアシラ像を建たればなり

For they also built for them high places, and pillars, and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every green tree.

24 其國には亦男色を行ふ者ありぎ彼等はヱホバがイスラエルの子孫の前より逐攘ひたまひし國民の中にありし諸の憎むべき事を傚ひ行へり

And there were also sodomites in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which Jehovah drove out before the sons of Israel.

25 レハベアム王の第五年にエジプトの王シシヤク、エルサレムに攻上り

And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.

26 ヱホバの家の寶物と王の家の寶物を奪ひたり即ち盡く之を奪ひ亦ソロモンの造りたる金の楯を皆奪ひたり

And he took away the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house. He even took away all. And he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

27 レハベアム王其代に銅の楯を造りて王の家の門を守る侍衛の長の手に付せり

And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard who kept the door of the king's house.

28 王のヱホバの家に入る毎に侍衛之を負ひ復之を侍衛の房に携歸れり

And it was so, that, as often as the king went into the house of Jehovah, the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard-chamber.

29 レハベアムの其餘の行爲と其凡て爲たる事はユダの王の歴代志の書に記さるるに非ずや

Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

30 レハベアムとヤラベアムの間に戰爭ありき

And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

31 レハベアム其父祖と偕に寝りて其父祖と共にダビデの城に葬らる其母のナアマといひてアンモニ人なり其子アビヤム之に代りて王と爲り

And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess. And Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
