< 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 when the kingdom of Roboam was strengthened and fortified, he forsook the law of the Lord, 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 in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Sesac king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem (because they had sinned against the Lord)
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 threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt, to wit, Libyans, and Troglodites, 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 strongest cities in Juda, 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 Semeias the prophet came to Roboam, and to the princes of Juda, that were gathered together in Jerusalem, fleeing from Sesac, and he said to them: Thus saith the Lord: You have left me, and I have left you in the hand of Sesac.
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, being in a consternation, said: The Lord is just.
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 the Lord saw that they were humbled, the word of the Lord came to Semeias, saying: Because they are humbled, I will not destroy them, and I will give them a little help, and my wrath shall not fall upon Jerusalem by the hand of Sesac.
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
But yet they shall serve him, that they may know the difference between my service, and the service of a kingdom of the earth.
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
So Sesac king of Egypt departed from Jerusalem, taking away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king’s house, and he took all with him, and the golden shields 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
Instead of which the king made brazen ones, and delivered them to the captains of the shieldbearers, who guarded the entrance of the palace.
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 when the king entered into the house of the Lord, the shieldbearers came and took them, and brought them back again to their armoury.
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
But yet because they were humbled, the wrath of the Lord turned away from them, and they were not utterly destroyed: for even in Juda there were found good works.
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
King Roboam therefore was strengthened in Jerusalem, and reigned: he was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord chose out of all the tribes of Israel, to establish his name there: and the name of his mother was Naama 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
But he did evil, and did not prepare his heart to seek the Lord.
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
Now the acts of Roboam first and last are written in the books of Semeias the prophet, and of Addo the seer, and diligently recorded: and there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam all their days.
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 Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And Abia his son reigned in his stead.
