歴代誌Ⅱ 11
1 茲にレハベアム、ヱルサレムに至りてユダとベニヤミンの家より倔強の武者十八萬を集め而してレハベアム國を己に歸さんためにイスラエルと戰はんとせしに
And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen [men], which were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
2 ヱホバの言神の人シマヤに臨みて云ふ
But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
3 ソロモンの子ユダの王レハベアムおよびユダとベニヤミンにあるイスラエルの人々に告て言べし
Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
4 ヱホバかく言ふ汝ら攻上るべからず又なんぢらの兄弟と戰ふべからず各々その家に歸れ此事は我より出たる者なりと彼ら乃はちヱホバの言にしたがひヤラベアムに攻ゆくことを止て歸れり
Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house: for this thing is done of me. And they obeyed the words of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
5 斯てレハベアム、ヱルサレムに居りユダに守衛の邑々を建たり
And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.
6 即ちその建たる者はベテレヘム、エタム、テコア
He built even Beth-lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
7 ベテズル｀シヨコ、アドラム
And Beth-zur, and Shoco, and Adullam,
8 ガテ、マレシヤ、ジフ
And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
9 アドライム、ラキシ、アゼカ
And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
10 ゾラ、アヤロン、ヘブロン是等はユダとベニヤミンにありて守衛の邑なり
And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which [are] in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities.
11 彼その守衛の邑々を堅固にし之に軍長を置き糧食と油と酒とを貯はへ
And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and of oil and wine.
12 またその一切の邑に盾と矛とを備へて之を甚だ強からしむユダとベニヤミンこれに附り
And in every several city [he put] shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.
13 イスラエルの全地の祭司とレビ人は四方の境より來りてレハベアムに投ず
And the priests and the Levites that [were] in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts.
14 即ちレビ人はその郊地と產業とを離れてユダとヱルサレムに至れり是はヤラベアムとその子等かれらを廢して祭司の職をヱホバの前に爲しめざりし故なり
For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest’s office unto the LORD:
15 ヤラベアムは崇邱と牡山羊と己が作れる犢とのために自ら祭司を立つ
And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.
16 またイスラエルの一切の支派の中凡てその心を傾むけてイスラエルの神ヱホバを求むる者はその先祖の神ヱホバに禮物を献げんとてレビ人にしたがひてヱルサレムに至れり
And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the LORD God of their fathers.
17 是のごとく彼等ユダの國を固うしソロモンの子レハベアムをして三年の間強からしめたり即ち民は三年の間ダビデとソロモンの道に歩めり
So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.
18 レハベアムはダビデの子ヱレモテの女マハラテを妻に娶れりマハラテはヱッサイの子エリアブの女アビハイルの產し者なり
And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, [and] Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
19 彼ヱウシ、シヤマリヤおよびザハムの三子を產む
Which bare him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.
20 また之が後にアブサロムの女マアカを娶れり彼アビヤ、アツタイ、ジザおよびシロミテを產む
And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
21 レハベアムはアブサロムの女マアカをその一切の妻と妾とにまさりて愛せり彼は妻十八人妾六十人を取り男子二十八人女子六十人を擧く
And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and threescore daughters.)
22 レハベアム、マアカの子アビヤを王となさんと思ふが故に之を立て首となしその兄弟の長となせり
And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, [to be] ruler among his brethren: for [he thought] to make him king.
23 斯るが故に慧く取行ひ其男子等を盡くユダとベニヤミンの地なる守衛の邑々に散し置き之に糧食を多く與へかつ衆多の妻を求得させたり
And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fenced city: and he gave them victual in abundance. And he desired many wives.
