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
When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and he was strong, he abandoned the LORD’s law, 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
In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed 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 sixty thousand horsemen. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the 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
He took the fortified cities which 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
Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and to the princes of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “The LORD says, ‘You have forsaken me, therefore I have 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
Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, “The LORD 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
When the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the LORD’s word came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath won’t be poured out on 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 will 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
So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem and took away the treasures of the LORD’s house and the treasures of the king’s house. He took it all away. He also took away the shields of gold which 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
King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door 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
As often as the king entered into the LORD’s house, the guard came and bore them, then brought them back into the guard room.
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
When he humbled himself, the LORD’s wrath turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether. Moreover, there were good things found in Judah.
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
So 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 which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. His mother’s name was Naamah the 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
He did that which was evil, because he didn’t set 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 Rehoboam, first and last, aren’t they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, in the genealogies? 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
Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in David’s city; and Abijah his son reigned in his place.
