列王記Ⅰ 22
1 スリアとイスラエルの間に戰爭なくして三年を經たり
And there passed three years without war between Syria and Israel.
2 第三年にユダの王ヨシヤパテ、イスラエルの王の所に降れり
And in the third year, Josaphat king of Juda came down to the king of Israel.
3 イスラエルの王其臣僕に言けるはギレアデのラモテは我儕の所有なるを爾等知や然るに我儕はスリアの王の手より之を取ることをせずして默しをるなり
(And the king of Israel said to his servants: Know ye not-that Ramoth Galaad is ours, and we neglect to take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?)
4 彼ヨシヤパテに言けるは爾我と共にギレアデのラモテに戰ひにゆくやヨシヤパテ、イスラエルの王にいひけるは我は爾のごとくわが民は爾の民の如くわが馬は爾の馬の如しと
And he said to Josaphat: Wilt thou come with me to battle to Ramoth Galaad?
5 ヨシヤパテ、イスラエルの王に言けるは請ふ今日ヱホバの言を問へ
And Josaphat said to the king of Israel: As I am, so art thou: my people and thy people are one: and my horsemen, thy horsemen. And Josaphat said to the king of Israel: Inquire, I beseech thee, this day, the word of the Lord.
6 是においてイスラエルの王預言者四百人許を集めて之に言けるは我ギレアデのラモテに戰ひにゆくべきや又は罷べきや彼等曰けるは上るべし主之を王の手に付したまふべしと
Then the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and he said to them: Shall I go to Ramoth Galaad to fight, or shall I forbear? They answered: Go up, and the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.
7 ヨシヤパテ曰けるは外に我儕の由て問べきヱホバの預言者此にあらざるや
And Josaphat said: Is there not here some prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire by him?
8 イスラエルの王ヨシヤパテに言けるは外にイムラの子ミカヤ一人あり之に由てヱホバに問ふことを得ん然ど彼は我に關て善事を預言せず唯惡事のみを預言すれば我彼を惡むなりとヨシヤパテ曰けるは王然言たまふなかれと
And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: There is one man left, by whom we may inquire of the Lord: Micheas the son of Jemla; but I hate him, for he doth not prophesy good to me, but evil. And Josaphat said: Speak not so, O king.
9 是によりてイスラエルの王一箇の官吏を呼てイムラの子ミカヤを急ぎ來らしめよと言り
Then the king of Israel called an eunuch, and said to him: Make haste, and bring hither Micheas the son of Jemla.
10 イスラエルの王およびユダの王ヨシヤパテ朝衣を著てサマリアの門の入口の廣場に各其位に坐しゐたり預言者は皆其前に預言せり
Then the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, sat each on his throne clothed with royal robes, in a court by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets prophesied before them.
11 ケナアナの子ゼデキヤ鐵の角を造りて言けるはヱホバ斯言給ふ爾是等を以てスリア人を抵觸て之を盡すべしと
And Sedecias the son of Chanaana made himself horns of iron, and said: Thus saith the Lord: With these shalt thou push Syria, till thou destroy it.
12 預言者皆斯預言して言ふギレアデのラモテに上りて勝利を獲たまへヱホバ之を王の手に付したまふべしと
And all the prophets prophesied in like manner, saying: Go up to Ramoth Galaad, and prosper, for the Lord will deliver it into the king’s hands.
13 茲にミカヤを召んとて往たる使者之に語りて言けるは預言者等の言一の口の如くにして王に善し請ふ汝の言を彼等の一人の言の如くならしめて善事を言へと
And the messenger, that went to call Micheas, spoke to him, saying: Behold the words of the prophets with one month declare good things to the king: let thy word therefore be like to theirs, and speak that which is good.
14 ミカヤ曰けるはヱホバは生くヱホバの我に言たまふ事は我之を言んと
But Micheas said to him: As the Lord liveth, whatsoever the Lord shall say to me, that will I speak.
15 かくて彼王に至るに王彼に言けるはミカヤよ我儕ギレアデのラモテに戰ひに往くべきや又は罷べきや彼王に言けるは上りて勝利を得たまへヱホバ之を王の手に付したまふべしと
So he came to the king, and the king said to him: Micheas, shall we go to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall we forbear? He answered him: Go up, and prosper, and the Lord shall deliver it into the king’s hands.
16 王彼に言けるは我幾度汝を誓はせたらば汝ヱホバの名を以て唯眞實のみを我に告るや
But the king said to him: I adjure thee again and again, that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the Lord.
17 彼言けるは我イスラエルの皆牧者なき羊のごとく山に散をるを見たるにヱホバ是等の者は主なし各安然に其家に歸るべしと言たまへりと
And he said: I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, like sheep that have no shepherd: and the Lord said: These have no master: let every man of them return to his house in peace.
18 イスラエルの王ヨシヤパテに言けるは我汝に彼は我について善き事を預言せず唯惡き事のみを預言すと告たるにあらすやと
(Then the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Did I not tell thee, that he prophesieth no good to me, but always evil?)
19 ミカヤ言けるは然ば汝ヱホバの言を聽べし我ヱホバの其位に坐しゐたまひて天の萬軍の其傍に右左に立つを見たるに
And he added and said: Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on the right hand and on the left:
20 ヱホバ言たまひけるは誰かアハブを誘ひて彼をしてギレアデのラモテに上りて弊れしめんかと則ち一は此の如くせんと言ひ一は彼の如くせんといへり
And the Lord said: Who shall deceive Achab king of Israel, that he may go up, and fall at Ramoth Galaad? And one spoke words of this manner, and another otherwise.
21 遂に一の霊進み出てヱホバの前に立ち我彼を誘はんと言ければ
And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said: I will deceive him. And the Lord said to him: By what means?
22 ヱホバ彼に何を以てするかと言たまふに我出て虚言を言ふ霊となりて其諸の預言者の口にあらんと言りヱホバ言たまひけるは汝は誘ひ亦之を成し遂ん出て然なすべしと
And he said: I will go forth, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said: Thou shalt deceive him, and shalt prevail: a go forth, and do so.
23 故に視よヱホバ虚言を言ふ霊を爾の此諸の預言者の口に入たまへり又ヱホバ爾に關て災禍あらんことを言たまへりと
Now therefore behold the Lord hath given a lying spirit in the mouth of all thy prophets that are here, and the Lord hath spoken evil against thee.
24 ケナアナの子ゼデキヤ近よりてミカヤの頬を批て言けるはヱホバの霊何途より我を離れゆきて爾に語ふや
And Sedecias the son of Chanaana came, and struck Micheas on the cheek, and said: Hath then the spirit of the Lord left me, and spoken to thee?
25 ミカヤいひけるは爾奧の間に入て身を匿す日に見るにいたらん
And Micheas said: Thou shalt see in the day when thou shalt go into a chamber within a chamber to hide thyself.
26 イスラエルの王言けるはミカヤを取て之を邑の宰アモンと王の子ヨアシに曳かへりて言ふべし
And the king of Israel said: Take Micheas, and let him abide with Ammon the governor of the city, and with Joas the son of Amalech.
27 王斯言ふ此を牢に置れて苦惱のパンと苦惱の水を以て之を養ひ我が平安に來るを待てと
And tell them: Thus saith the king: Put this man in prison, and feed him with bread of affliction, and water of distress, till I return in peace.
28 ミカヤ言けるは爾若眞に平安に歸るならばヱホバ我によりて言たまはざりしならん又曰けるは爾等民よ皆聽べし
And Micheas said: If thou return in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he said: Hear, all ye people.
29 かくてイスラエルの王とユダの王ヨシヤパテ、ギレアデのラモテに上れり
So the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda went up to Ramoth Galaad.
30 イスラエルの王ヨシヤパテに言けるは我装を改て戰陣の中に入らん然ど爾は王衣を衣るべしとイスラエルの王装を改て戰陣の中にいりぬ
And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Take armour, and go into the battle, and put on thy own garments. But the king of Israel changed his dress, and went into the battle.
31 スリアの王其戰車の長三十二人に命じて言けるは爾等小者とも大者とも戰ふなかれ惟イスラエルの王とのみ戰へと
And the king of Syria had commanded the two and thirty captains of the chariots, saying: You shall not fight against any, small or great, but against the king of Israel only.
32 戰車の長等ヨシヤパテを見て是必ずイスラエルの王ならんと言ひ身をめぐらして之と戰はんとしければヨシヤパテ號呼れり
So when the captains of the chariots saw Josaphat, they suspected that he was the king of Israel, and making a violent assault they fought against him: and Josaphat cried out.
33 戰車の長彼がイスラエルの王にあらざるを見しかば之を追ふことをやめて返れり
And the captains of the chariots perceived that he was not the king of and they turned away from him.
34 茲に一個の人偶然弓を挽てイスラエルの王の胸當と艸摺の間を射たりければ彼其御者に言けるは我傷を受たれば爾の手を旋して我を軍中より出すべしと
And a certain man bent his bow, shooting at a venture, and chanced to strike the king of Israel between the lungs and the stomach. But he said to the driver of his chariot: Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the army, for I am grievously wounded.
35 是日戰爭嚴くなりぬ王は車の中に扶持られて立ちスリア人に對ひをりしが晩景にいたりて死たり創の血車の中に流る
And the battle was fought that day, and the king of Israel stood in his chariot against the Syrians, and he died in the evening: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.
36 日の沒る頃軍中に呼はりて曰ふあり各其邑に各其郷に歸るべしと
And the herald proclaimed through all the army before the sun set, saying: Let every man return to his own city, and to his own country.
37 王死て携へられてサマリアに至りたれば衆人王をサマリアに葬れり
And the king died, and was carried into Samaria: and they buried the king in Samaria.
38 又其車をサマリアの池に濯ひけるに犬其血を舐たり又遊女其所に身をあらへりヱホバの言たまへる言の如し
And they washed his chariot in the pool of Samaria, and the dogs licked up his blood, and they washed the reins, according to the word of the Lord which he had spoken.
39 アハブの其餘の行爲と凡て其爲たる事と其建たる象牙の家と其建たる諸の邑はイスラエルの王の歴代志の書に記載るにあらずや
But the rest of the acts of Achab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
40 アハブ其父祖と共に寝りて其子アハジア之にかはりて王となれり
So Achab slept with his fathers, and Ochozias his son reigned in his stead.
41 アサの子ヨシヤパテ、イスラエルの王アハブの第四年にユダの王となれり
But Josaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Juda in the fourth year of Achab king of Israel.
42 ヨシヤパテ王となりし時三十五歳なりしがエルサレムにおいて二十五年王たりき其母の名はアズバといひてシルヒの女なり
He was five and thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned five and twenty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Azuba the daughter of Salai.
43 ヨシヤパテ其父アサの諸の道に歩行み轉て之を離れずヱホバの目に適ふ事をなせり但し崇邱は除かざりき民尚崇邱に犠牲を献げ香を焚り
And he walked in all the way of Asa his father, and he declined not from it: and he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord. Nevertheless he took not away the high places: for as Set the people offered sacrifices and burnt incense in the high places.
44 ヨシヤパテ、イスラエルの王と和好を結べり
And Josaphat had peace with the king of Israel.
45 ヨシヤパテの其餘の行爲と其なせる功績および如何に戰爭をなせしかはユダの王の歴代志の書に記載るにあらずや
But the rest of the acts of Josaphat, and his works which he did, and his batties, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
46 彼其父アサの世に尚ほありし彼の男色を行ふ者の殘餘を國の中より逐はらへり
And the remnant also of the effeminate, who remained in the days of Asa his father, he took out of the land.
47 當時エドムには王なくして代官王たりき
And there was then no king appointed in Edom.
48 ヨシヤパテ、タルシシの船を造りて金を取ためにオフルに往しめんとしたりしが其船エジオンゲベルに壞れたれば遂に往に至らざりき
But king Josaphat made navies on the sea, to sail into Ophir for gold: but they could not go, for the ships were broken in Asiongaber.
49 是においてアハブの子アハジア、ヨシヤパテに言けるはわが僕をして爾の僕と偕に船にて往しめよと然どヨシヤパテ聽ざりき
Then Ochozias the ton of Achab said to Josaphat: Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. And Josaphat would not.
50 ヨシヤパテ其父祖とともに寝りて其父ダビデの城邑に其父祖と共に葬らる其子ヨラム之に代て王となれり
And Josaphat slept with his fathers. and was buried with them in the city of David his father: and Joram his son reigned in his stead.
51 アハブの子アハジア、ユダの王ヨシヤパテの第十七年にサマリアにてイスラエルの王となり二年イスラエルを治めたり
And Ochozias the son of Achab began to reign over Israel in Samaria, in the seventeenth gear of Josaphat king of Juda, and he reigned over Israel two years,
52 彼はヱホバの目のまへに惡をなし其父の道と其母の道および彼のイスラエルに罪を犯させたるネバテの子ヤラベアムの道に歩行み
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father and his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin.
53 バアルに事へて之を拝みイスラエルの神ヱホバの怒を激せり其父の凡て行へるがごとし
He served also Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked the Lord the God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
