歴代誌Ⅱ 13

1 ヤラベアム王の十八年にアビヤ、ユダの王となり

In the eyghteenth yeere of King Ieroboam began Abiiah to reigne ouer Iudah.

2 ヱルサレムにて三年の間世を治めたり其母はギベアのウリエルの女にして名をミカヤといふ茲にアビヤとヤラベアムの間に戰爭あり

He reigned three yere in Ierusalem: (his mothers name also was Michaiah the daughter of Vriel of Gibea) and there was warre betweene Abiiah and Ieroboam.

3 アビヤは四十萬の軍勢をもて戰闘に備ふ是みな倔強の猛き武夫なり又ヤラベアムは倔強の人八十萬をもて之にむかひて戰爭の行伍を立つ是また大勇士なり

And Abiiah set the battel in aray with the armie of valiant men of warre, euen foure hundreth thousand chosen men. Ieroboam also set the battell in aray against him with eight hundreth thousande chosen men which were strong and valiant.

4 時にアビヤ、エフライムの山地なるゼマライム山の上に立て言けるはヤラベアムおよびイスラエルの人々皆聽よ

And Abiiah stood vp vpon mount Zemeraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and sayde, O Ieroboam, and all Israel, heare you me,

5 汝ら知ずやイスラエルの神ヱホバ鹽の契約をもてイスラエルの國を永くダビデとその子孫に賜へり

Ought you not to know that the Lord God of Israel hath giuen the kingdome ouer Israel to Dauid for euer, euen to him and to his sonnes by a couenant of salt?

6 然るにダビデの子ソロモンの臣たるネバテの子ヤラベアム興りてその主君に叛き

And Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat the seruant of Salomon the sonne of Dauid is risen vp, and hath rebelled against his lord:

7 邪曲なる放蕩者これに集り附き自ら強くしてソロモンの子レハベアムに敵せしがレハベアムは少くまた心弱くして之に當る力なかりき

And there are gathered to him vayne men and wicked, and made themselues strong against Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon: for Rehoboam was but a childe and tender hearted, and coulde not resist them.

8 今またなんぢらはダビデの子孫の手にあるヱホバの國に敵對せんとす汝らは大軍なり又ヤラベアムが作りて汝らの神と爲たる金の犢なんぢらと偕にあり

Now therefore ye thinke that yee be able to resist against the kingdome of the Lord, which is in the handes of the sonnes of Dauid, and ye bee a great multitude, and the golden calues are with you which Ieroboam made you for gods.

9 汝らはアロンの子孫たるヱホバの祭司とレビ人とを逐放ち國々の民の爲がごとくに祭司を立るにあらずや即ち誰にもあれ少き牡牛一匹牡羊七匹を携へきたりて手に充す者は皆かの神ならぬ者の祭司となることを得るなり

Haue ye not driuen away the Priestes of the Lord the sonnes of Aaron and the Leuites, and haue made you Priests like the people of other countreis? whosoeuer commeth to consecrate with a yong bullocke and seuen rams, the same may be a Priest of them that are no gods.

10 然ど我儕に於てはヱホバ我儕の神にましまして我儕は之を棄ずまたヱホバに事ふる祭司はアロンの子孫にして役事をなす者はレビ人なり

But wee belong vnto the Lord our God, and haue not forsaken him, and the Priestes the sonnes of Aaron minister vnto the Lord, and the Leuites in their office.

11 彼ら朝ごと夕ごとにヱホバに燔祭を献げ香を焚くことを爲し又供前のパンを純精の案の上に供へまた金の燈臺とその燈盞を整へて夕ごとに點すなり斯われらは我らの神ヱホバの職守を守れども汝らは却て彼を棄たり

And they burne vnto the Lord euery morning and euery euening burnt offerings and sweete incense, and the breade is set in order vpon the pure table, and the candlesticke of golde with the lampes thereof, to burne euery euening: for we keepe the watch of the Lord our God: but ye haue forsaken him.

12 視よ神みづから我らとともに在して我らの大將となりたまふまた其祭司等は喇叭を吹ならして汝らを攻むイスラエルの子孫よ汝らの先祖の神ヱホバに敵して戰ふ勿れ汝ら利あらざるべければなりと

And behold, this God is with vs, as a captaine, and his Priests with the sounding trumpets, to crie an alarme against you. O yee children of Israel, fight not against the Lord God of your fathers: for ye shall not prosper.

13 ヤラベアム伏兵を彼らの後に回らせたればイスラエルはユダの前にあり伏兵は其後にあり

But Ieroboam caused an ambushment to compasse, and come behind them, when they were before Iudah, and the ambushment behinde them.

14 ユダ後を顧みるに敵前後にありければヱホバにむかひて號呼り祭司等喇叭を吹り

Then Iudah looked, and beholde, the battel was before and behinde them, and they cried vnto the Lord, and the Priests blewe with the trumpets,

15 ユダの人々すなはち吶喊を擧けるがユダの人々吶喊を擧るにあたりて神ヤラベアムとイスラエルの人々をアビヤとユダの前に打敗り給ひしかば

And the men of Iudah gaue a shoute: and euen as the men of Iudah shouted, God smote Ieroboam and also Israel before Abiiah and Iudah.

16 イスラエルの子孫はユダの前より逃はしれり神かく彼らを之が手に付したまひければ

And the children of Israel fledde before Iudah, and God deliuered them into their hande.

17 アビヤとその民彼らを夥多く撃殺せりイスラエルの殺されて倒れし者は五十萬人みな倔強の人なりき

And Abiiah and his people slewe a great slaughter of them, so that there fel downe wounded of Israel fiue hundreth thousand chosen men.

18 是時にはイスラエルの子孫打負されユダの子孫勝を得たり是は彼らその先祖の神ヱホバを賴みしが故なり

So the children of Israel were brought vnder at that time: and the children of Iudah preuailed, because they stayed vpon the Lord God of their fathers.

19 アビヤすなはちヤラベアムを追撃て邑數箇を彼より取れり即ちベテルとその郷里ヱシヤナとその郷里エフロンとその郷里是なり

And Abiiah pursued after Ieroboam, and tooke cities from him, euen Beth-el, and the villages thereof, and Ieshanah with her villages, and Ephron with her villages.

20 ヤラベアムはアビヤの世に再び權勢を奮ふことを得ずヱホバに撃れて死り

And Ieroboam recouered no strength againe in the dayes of Abiiah, but the Lord plagued him, and he dyed.

21 然どアビヤは權勢を得妻十四人を娶り男子二十二人女子十六人を擧けたり

So Abiiah waxed mightie, and marryed foureteene wiues, and begate two and twentie sonnes, and sixteene daughters.

22 アビヤのその餘の作爲とその行爲とその言は預言者イドの註釋に記さる

The rest of the actes of Abiiah and his maners and his sayings are written in the storie of the Prophet Iddo.
