歴代誌Ⅱ 10
1 爰にレハベアム、シケムに往り其はイスラエルみな彼を王となさんとてシケムに到りたればたり
Then Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Sheche came all Israel to make him king.
2 ネバテの子ヤラベアムはさきにソロモン王の面を避てエジプトに逃れ居しがこのことを聞てエジプトより歸れり
And when Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat heard it, (which was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of Salomon the King) he returned out of Egypt.
3 人衆人を遣はして之を招きたるなり斯てヤラベアムとイスラエルの人みな來りてレハベアムに語りて言けるは
And they sent and called him: so came Ieroboam and all Israel, and communed with Rehoboam, saying,
4 汝の父我らの軛を苦しくせり然ば汝今汝の父の苦しき役とその我らに蒙むらせたる重き軛を軽くしたまへ然れば我儕なんぢに事へん
Thy father made our yoke grieuous: nowe therefore make thou the grieuous seruitude of thy father, and his sore yoke, that he put vpon vs, lighter, and we will serue thee.
5 レハベアムかれらに言けるは汝ら三日を經て再び我に來れと民すなはち去り
And he sayde to them, Depart yet three dayes, then come againe vnto me. And the people departed.
6 是においてレハベアム王その父ソロモンの生る間これが前に立たる老人等に計りて言けるは汝ら如何に敎へて此民に答へしむるや
And King Rehoboam tooke counsel with the olde men that had stande before Salomon his father, while hee yet liued, saying, What counsell giue ye that I may answere this people?
7 彼らレハベアムに語りて言けるは汝もし此民を厚く待ひ之を悦こばせ善言を之に語らば永く汝の僕たらんと
And they spake vnto him, saying, If thou be kinde to this people, and please them, and speake louing words to them, they will be thy seruants for euer.
8 然るに彼その老人等の敎へし敎を棄て自己とともに生長て己の前に立ところの少年等と計れり
But hee left the counsel of the ancient men that they had giuen him, and tooke counsell of the yong men that were brought vp with him, and waited on him.
9 即ち彼らに言けるは汝ら如何に敎へて我らをして此我に語りて汝の父の我らに蒙むらせし軛を軽くせよと言ふ民に答へしむるやと
And he sayd vnto them, What counsel giue ye, that we may answere this people, which haue spoken to mee, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put vpon vs, lighter?
10 彼とともに生長たる少年等かれに語りて言けるは汝に語りて汝の父我らの軛を重くしたれば汝これを我らのために軽くせよと言たる此民に汝かく答へ斯これに言べし吾小指は我父の腰よりも太し
And the yong men that were brought vp with him, spake vnto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answere the people that spake to thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heauie, but make thou it lighter for vs: thus shalt thou say vnto them, My least part shalbe bigger then my fathers loines.
11 我父は汝らに重き軛を負せたりしが我は更に汝らの軛を重くせん我父は鞭をもて汝らを懲せしが我は蠍をもて汝らを懲さんと
Now whereas my father did burden you with a grieuous yoke, I will yet increase your yoke: my father hath chastised you with roddes, but I will correct you with scourges.
12 偖またヤラベアムと民等は皆王の告て第三日に再び我にきたれと言しごとく第三日にレハベアムに詣りしに
Then Ieroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the King had appointed saying, Come againe to me the third day.
13 王荒々しく彼らに答へたり即ちレハベアム王老人の敎を棄て
And the King answered them sharply: and King Rehoboam left the counsel of the ancient men,
14 少年の敎のごとく彼らに告て言けるは我父は汝らの軛を重くしたりしが我は更に之を重くせん我父は鞭をもて汝らを懲せしが我は蠍をもて汝らを懲さんと
And spake to them after ye counsell of the yong men, saying, My father made your yoke grieuous, but I wil incease it: my father chastised you with rods, but I will correct you with scourges.
15 王かく民に聽ことをせざりき此事は神より出たる者にしてその然るはヱホバかつてシロ人アヒヤによりてネバテの子ヤラベアムに告たる言を成就んがためなり
So the king hearkened not vnto the people: for it was the ordinance of God that the Lord might performe his saying, which hee had spoken by Ahiiah the Shilonite to Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat.
16 イスラエルの民みな王の己に聽ざるを見しかば王に答へて言けるは我らダビデの中に何の分あらんやヱッサイの子の中には所有なしイスラエルよ汝ら各々その天幕に歸れダビデ族よ今おのれの家を顧みよと斯イスラエルは皆その天幕に歸れり
So when all Isarael sawe that the King would not heare them, the people answered the King, saying, What portion haue we in Dauid? for we haue none inheritance in the sonue of Ishai. O Israel, euery man to your tents: now see to thine owne house, Dauid. So all Israel departed to their tents.
17 但しユダの邑々に住るイスラエルの子孫の上にはレハベアムなほ王たりき
Howbeit Rehoboam reigned ouer the children of Israel, that dwelt in the cities of Iudah.
18 レハベアム王役夫の頭なるアドラムを遣はしけるにイスラエルの子孫石をもてこれを撃て死しめたればレハベアム王急ぎてその車に登りてエルサレムに逃かへれり
Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was ouer the tribute, and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died: then King Rehoboam made speede to get him vp to his charet, to flee to Ierusalem.
19 是のごとくイスラエルはダビデの家に背きて今日にいたる
And Israel rebelled against the house of Dauid vnto this day.
