歴代誌Ⅱ 16
1 アサの治世の三十六年にイスラエルの王バアシヤ、ユダに攻のぼりユダの王アサの所に誰をも往來せざらしめんとてラマを建たり
In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, in order to let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
2 是においてアサ、ヱホバの家と王の家との府庫より金銀を取いだしダマスコに住るスリアの王ベネハダデに餽りて言けるは
And Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of Jehovah and of the king's house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of Syria, who dwelt at Damascus, saying,
3 我父と汝の父の間の如く我と汝の間に約を立ん視よ我今汝に金銀を餽れり往て汝とイスラエルの王バアシヤとの約を破り彼をして我を離れて去しめよ
There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I send thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
4 ベネハダデすなはちアサ王に聽き自己の軍勢の長等をイスラエルの邑々に攻遣ければ彼等イヨン、ダン、アベルマイムおよびナフタリの一切の府庫の邑々を撃たり
And Ben-hadad hearkened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his forces against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon and Dan and Abelmaim, and all the store-magazines of the cities of Naphtali.
5 バアシヤ聞てラマを建ることを罷めその工事を廢せり
And it came to pass when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease.
6 是においてアサ王ユダ全國の人を率ゐバアシヤがラマを建るに用ひたる石と材木を運びきたらしめ之をもてゲバとミズパを建たり
And king Asa took all Judah; and they carried away the stones and the timber from Ramah, with which Baasha had been building, and he built with them Geba and Mizpah.
7 その頃先見者ハナニ、ユダの王アサの許にいたりて之に言けるは汝はスリアの王に倚賴みて汝の神ヱホバに倚賴まざりしに因てスリア王の軍勢は汝の手を脱せり
And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and hast not relied on Jehovah thy God, therefore has the army of the king of Syria escaped out of thy hand.
8 かのエテオピア人とルビ人は大軍にして戰車および騎兵はなはだ多かりしにあらずや然るも汝ヱホバに倚賴みたればヱホバかれらを汝の手に付したまへり
Were not the Ethiopians and the Libyans a huge army, with very many chariots and horsemen? but when thou didst rely on Jehovah, he delivered them into thy hand.
9 ヱホバは全世界を徧く見そなはし己にむかひて心を全うする者のために力を顯したまふこの事において汝は愚なる事をなせり故に此後は汝に戰爭あるべしと
For the eyes of Jehovah run to and fro through the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of those whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly; for from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
10 然るにアサその先見者を怒りて之を獄舎にいれたり其は烈しくこの事のために彼を怒りたればなりアサまた其頃民を虐げたる事ありき
And Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in the prison; for he was enraged with him because of this. And Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.
11 アサの始終の行爲はユダとイスラエルの列王の書に記さる
And behold the acts of Asa, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
12 アサはその治世の三十九年に足を病みその病患つひに劇しくなりしがその病患の時にもヱホバを求めずして醫師を求めたり
And Asa in the thirty-ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was extremely great; yet in his disease he did not seek Jehovah, but the physicians.
13 アサその先祖等と偕に寝りその治世の四十一年に死り
And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one-and-fortieth year of his reign.
14 人衆これをその己のためにダビデの邑に堀おける墓に葬り製香の術をもて製したる種々の香物を盈せる床の上に置き之がために夥多しく焚物をなせり
And they buried him in his own sepulchre, which he had excavated for himself in the city of David, and laid him in a bed filled with spices, a mixture of divers kinds prepared by the perfumer's art; and they made a very great burning for him.
