列王記Ⅰ 15

1 ネバテの子ヤラベアム王の第十八年にアビヤム、ユダの王となり

In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam became king of Judah,

2 エルサレムにて三年世を治めたり其母の名はマアカといひてアブサロムの女なり

and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.

3 彼は其父が己のさきに爲たる諸の罪を行ひ其心其父ダビデの心の如く其神ヱホバに完全からざりき

And Abijam walked in all the sins that his father before him had committed, and his heart was not as fully devoted to the LORD his God as the heart of David his forefather had been.

4 然に其神ヱホバ、ダビデの爲にエルサレムに於て彼に一の燈明を與へ其子を其後に興しエルサレムを固く立しめ賜へり

Nevertheless, for the sake of David, the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem by raising up a son to succeed him and to make Jerusalem strong.

5 其はダビデはヘテ人ウリヤの事の外は一生の間ヱホバの目に適ふ事を爲て其己に命じたまへる諸の事に背かざりければなり

For David had done what was right in the eyes of the LORD and had not turned aside from anything the LORD commanded all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

6 レハベアムとヤラベアムの間には其一生の間戰爭ありき

And there was war between the houses of Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of Abijam’s life.

7 アビヤムの其餘の行爲と凡て其爲たる事はユダの王の歴代志の書に記載さるるにあらずやアビヤムとヤラベアムの間に戰爭ありき

As for the rest of the acts of Abijam, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

8 アビヤム其先祖と倶に寝りしかば之をダビデの城に葬りぬ其子アサ之に代りて王と爲り

And Abijam rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David, and his son Asa reigned in his place.

9 イスラエルの王ヤラベアムの第二十年にアサ、ユダの王となり

In the twentieth year of Jeroboam’s reign over Israel, Asa became king of Judah,

10 エルサレムにて四十一年世を治めたり其母の名はマアカといひてアブサロムの女なり

and he reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.

11 アサは其父ダビデの如くヱホバの目に適ふ事を爲し

And Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as his father David had done.

12 男色を行ふ者を國より逐ひ出し其父祖等の造りたる諸の偶像を除けり

He banished the male shrine prostitutes from the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

13 彼は亦其母マアカのアシラの像を造りしがために之を貶して太后たらしめざりき而してアサ其像を毀ちてキデロンの谷に焚棄たり

He also removed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made a detestable Asherah pole. Asa chopped down the pole and burned it in the Kidron Valley.

14 但し崇邱は除かざりき然どアサの心は一生の間ヱホバに完全かりき

The high places were not removed, but Asa’s heart was fully devoted to the LORD all his days.

15 彼其父の献納めたる物と己のをさめたる物金銀器をヱホバの家に携へいりぬ

And he brought into the house of the LORD the silver and gold and other articles that he and his father had dedicated.

16 アサとイスラエルの王バアシヤの間に一生の間戰爭ありき

Now there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their days.

17 イスラエルの王バアシヤ、ユダに攻上りユダの王アサの所に誰をも往來せざらしめん爲にラマを築けり

Baasha king of Israel went to war against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.

18 是に於てアサ王ヱホバの家の府庫と王の家の府庫に殘れる所の金銀を盡く將て之を其臣僕の手に付し之をダマスコに住るスリアの王ヘジヨンの子タブリモンの子なるベネハダデに遣はして言けるは

So Asa withdrew all the silver and gold that remained in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace. He entrusted it to his servants and sent them with this message to Ben-hadad son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus:

19 わが父と爾の父の間の如く我と爾の間に約を立ん視よ我爾に金銀の禮物を餽れり往て爾とイスラエルの王バアシヤとの約を破り彼をして我を離れて上らしめよ

“Let there be a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. See, I have sent you a gift of silver and gold. Now go and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.”

20 ベネハダデ、アサ王に聽きて自己の軍勢の長等を遣はしてイスラエルの諸邑を攻めイヨンとダンとアベルベテマアカおよびキンネレテの全地とナフタリの全地とを撃り

And Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, conquering Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah, and the whole land of Naphtali, including the region of Chinnereth.

21 バアシヤ聞及びラマを築くことを罷てテルザに止り

When Baasha learned of this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and withdrew to Tirzah.

22 是に於てアサ王令をユダ全國に降したり一人も免かれし者なし斯して即ちバアシヤが用ひてラマを築きたる石と材木を取きたらしめアサ王之を用てべニヤミンのゲバとミズパを築けり

Then King Asa summoned all the men of Judah, with no exceptions, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and the timbers Baasha had used for building. And with these materials King Asa built up Geba of Benjamin, as well as Mizpah.

23 アサの其餘の行爲と其諸の功業と凡て其爲たる事および其建たる城邑はユダの王の歴代志の書に記載さるるにあらずや但し彼は年老るに及びて其足を病たり

Now the rest of the acts of Asa, along with all his might, all his accomplishments, and the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? In his old age, however, he became diseased in his feet.

24 アサ其父祖と時に寝りて其父ダビデの城に其父祖と偕に葬らる其子ヨシヤパテ之に代りて王と爲り

And Asa rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the city of his father David, and his son Jehoshaphat reigned in his place.

25 ユダの王アサの第二年にヤラベアムの子ナダブ、イスラエルの王と爲り二年イスラエルを治めたり

In the second year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Nadab son of Jeroboam became king of Israel, and he reigned two years.

26 彼ヱホバの目のまへに惡を爲其父の道に歩行み其イスラエルに犯させたる罪を行へり

And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of his father and in his sin, which he had caused Israel to commit.

27 爰にイツサカルの家のアヒヤの子バアシヤ彼に敵して黨を結びペリシテ人に屬するギベトンにて彼を撃り其はナダブとイスラエル皆ギベトンを圍み居たればなり

Then Baasha son of Ahijah of the house of Issachar conspired against Nadab, and Baasha struck him down at Gibbethon of the Philistines while Nadab and all Israel were besieging the city.

28 ユダの王アサの第三年にバアシヤ彼を殺し彼に代りて王となれり

In the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha killed Nadab and reigned in his place.

29 バアシヤ王となれる時ヤラベアムの全家を撃ち氣息ある者は一人もヤラベアムに殘さずして盡く之を滅せりヱホバの其僕シロ人アヒヤに由て言たまへる言の如し

As soon as Baasha became king, he struck down the entire household of Jeroboam. He did not leave to Jeroboam anyone that breathed, but destroyed them all according to the word that the LORD had spoken through His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,

30 是はヤラベアムが犯し又イスラエルに犯させたる罪の爲め又彼がイスラエルの神ヱホバの怒を惹き起したる事に因るなり

because of the sins Jeroboam had committed and had caused Israel to commit, and because he had provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger.

31 ナダブの其餘の行爲と凡て其爲たる事はイスラエルの王の歴代志の書に記載さるるにあらずや

As for the rest of the acts of Nadab, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

32 アサとイスラエルの王バアシヤの間に一生のあひだ戰爭ありき

And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their days.

33 ユダの王アサの第三年にアヒヤの子バアシヤ、テルザに於てイスラエルの全地の王となりて二十四年を經たり

In the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah became king of all Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah twenty-four years.

34 彼ヱホバの目のまへに惡を爲しヤラベアムの道にあゆみ其イスラエルに犯させたる罪を行へり

And Baasha did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin, which he had caused Israel to commit.
