列王記Ⅰ 14
1 當時ヤラベアムの子アビヤ疾ゐたり
It was at that time that Abijah, Jeroboam's son, fell ill.
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
So Jeroboam told his wife, “Please go and disguise yourself so nobody will know you're Jeroboam's wife. Then go to Shiloh and look for Ahijah the prophet. He was the one who told me I would become 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
Take with you ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey for him. He will explain to you what will happen to the boy.”
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
Jeroboam's wife did as she was told. She got up and went to Ahijah's house in Shiloh. Ahijah could not see—he had become blind 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
But the Lord had told Ahijah, “Look, Jeroboam's wife is coming to ask you about her son, because he's ill. This is what you are to tell her, because she'll come in disguise.”
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
So as soon as Ahijah heard her footsteps at the door, he called out, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam! Why do you bother coming in disguise? I have been given some bad news for you.
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 and tell Jeroboam this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I picked you from the masses and I made you ruler 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
I took the kingdom from the house of David and gave it to you. But you were not like my servant David, who kept my commandments and was totally committed to following me, only doing what was right in my sight.
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
You have done more evil than all those who lived before you. You have gone and made other gods for yourself, idols made of molten metal that made me angry. You have tossed me aside.
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
Now pay attention, because as a result of this I am going to bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam. I will totally exterminate every one of your descendants in Israel, whether slave or free. I will burn the house of Jeroboam like a man burning refuse until it's 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
Those of Jeroboam's family who die in the town will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the countryside will be eaten by birds. For the Lord has spoken.
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
As for you, get up and go home. As soon as you arrive in the city, the child will 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
All of Israel will mourn for him, and they will bury him. He alone of Jeroboam's family will be buried in a tomb because only in him has the Lord, the God of Israel found anything good—of the whole family 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
The Lord will choose for himself a king to rule over Israel who will destroy the house of Jeroboam. This is starting to happen 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
The Lord will strike Israel like a reed jerked to and fro by the water. He will pull up Israel by the roots from this good land that he gave their forefathers and scatter them beyond the Euphrates, because they have made their pagan Asherah poles, making the Lord angry.
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
He will abandon Israel because of the sins of Jeroboam, those that he committed himself, and those he made Israel commit.”
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
Jeroboam's wife got up and left for Tirzah. As soon as she stepped through the doorway of her home, the boy 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
All of Israel buried him and mourned for him, just as the Lord had said through 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
The rest of what Jeroboam did, how he engaged in warfare and how he reigned, they are recorded in the Book of 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
Jeroboam reigned for twenty-two years, and then he died. His son Nadab succeeded him as king.
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
Rehoboam, son of Solomon, reigned in Judah. He was forty-one when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord had chosen from all the tribes of Israel where he would be honored. The name of his mother was Naamah the Ammonite.
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
Judah did what was evil in the Lord's sight, and because of the sins they committed they made his jealous anger even greater than all 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
They also set up for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles 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
There were even cult prostitutes in the land. They followed all the disgusting practices of the nations that the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.
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
In the fifth year of King Rehoboam's reign, Shishak, king of Egypt, attacked 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
He took the treasures of the Lord's Temple and the royal palace. He took everything, including all the gold shields 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
So King Rehoboam made bronze shields to replace them and handed them over to the captains of the guard to look after. They stood on duty at the entrance to the royal palace.
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
Whenever the king went to the Lord's Temple, the guards would carry the shields. Afterwards they returned them to the guardroom.
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
The rest of what happened in Rehoboam's reign and everything that he did are recorded in the Book of 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
Rehoboam and Jeroboam were always at war with each other.
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
Rehoboam died and was buried with his ancestors in the City of David. The name of his mother was Naamah the Ammonite. His son Abijam succeeded him as king.
