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 six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, Baasa king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to 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
Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of Aram, that 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, as there was between my father and thy father; behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasa 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 unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the store-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 Baasa heard thereof, 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
Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasa had builded; and he built therewith 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 Aram, and hast not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Aram 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 Lubim a huge host, with chariots and horsemen exceeding many? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, 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 the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is whole 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
Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in the prison-house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people 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, lo, 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 in the thirty and ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet; his disease was exceeding great; yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to 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 sepulchres, which he had hewn out for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers' art; and they made a very great burning for him.
