歴代誌Ⅱ 12

1 レハベアムその國を固くしその身を強くするに及びてヱホバの律法を棄たりイスラエルみな之に傚ふ

And it came to pass when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and when he had become strong, [that] he forsook the law of Jehovah, and all Israel with him.

2 彼ら斯ヱホバにむかひて罪を犯すによりてレハベアムの五年にエジプトの王シシヤク、ヱルサレムに攻のぼれり

And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, because they had transgressed against Jehovah, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem,

3 その戰車は一千二百騎兵は六萬また彼に從がひてエジプトより來れる民ルビ人スキ人エテオピヤ人等は數しれず

with twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen; and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt: Libyans, Sukkites, and Ethiopians.

4 彼すなはちユダの守衛の邑々を取り進てヱルサレムに至る

And he took the fortified cities that belonged to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.

5 是においてレハベアムおよびユダの牧伯等シシヤクの故によりてヱルサレムに集まり居けるに預言者シマヤこれが許にいたりて之に言けるはヱホバかく言たまふ汝等は我を棄たれば我も汝らをシシヤクの手に遺おけりと

And Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and [to] the princes of Judah that had gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, Thus saith Jehovah: Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.

6 是をもてイスラエルの牧伯等および王は自ら卑くしてヱホバは義と言り

And the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, Jehovah is righteous.

7 ヱホバかれらが自ら卑くするを見たまひければヱホバの言シマヤに臨みて言ふ彼等は自ら卑くしたれば我かれらを滅ぼさず少く拯救を彼らに施こさん我シシヤクの手をもて我忿怒をヱルサレムに洩さじ

And when Jehovah saw that they humbled themselves, the word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves: I will not destroy them, but I will grant them a little deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

8 然ながら彼等は之が臣とならん是彼らが我に事ふる事と國々の王等に事ふる事との辨をしらん爲なりと

Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.

9 エジプトの王シシヤクすなはちヱルサレムに攻のぼりヱホバの家の寶物と王の家の寶物とを奪ひて盡くこれを取り又ソロモンの作りたる金の楯を奪ひされり

And Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house; he took away all; and he took away the shields of gold that Solomon had made.

10 是をもてレハベアム王その代に銅の楯を作り王の家の門を守る侍衛の長等の手にこれを交し置けるが

And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the couriers who kept the entrance of the king's house.

11 王ヱホバの家に入る時には侍衛きたりて之を負ひまた侍衛の房にこれを持かへれり

And it was so, that as often as the king entered into the house of Jehovah, the couriers came and fetched them, and brought them again into the chamber of the couriers.

12 レハベアム自ら卑くしたればヱホバの忿怒かれを離れこれを盡く滅ぼさんとは爲たまはず又ユダにも善事ありき

And when he humbled himself, the anger of Jehovah turned away from him, that he would not destroy him altogether; and also in Judah there were good things.

13 レハベアム王はヱルサレムにありてその力を強くし世を治めたり即ちレハベアムは四十一歳のとき位に即き十七年の間ヱルサレムにて世を治む是すなはちヱホバがその名を置んとてイスラエルの一切の支派の中より選びたまへる邑なり彼の母はアンモニ人にしてその名をナアマといふ

And king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned; for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.

14 レハベアムはヱホバを求むる事に心を傾けずして惡き事を行へり

And he did evil, for he applied not his heart to seek Jehovah.

15 レハベアムの始終の行爲は預言者シマヤの書および先見者イドの書の中に系圖の形に記さるるに非ずやレハベアムとヤラベアムの間には絶ず戰爭ありき

And the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the words of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer, in the genealogical registers? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

16 レハベアムその先祖等とともに寝りてダビデの邑に葬られ其子アビヤ之にかはりて王となれり

And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
