歴代誌Ⅱ 21
1 ヨシヤパテその先祖等とともに寝りてダビデの邑にその先祖等とともに葬られその子ヨラムこれに代て王となる
Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David: and Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
2 ヨシヤパテの子たるその兄弟はアザリヤ、ヱヒエル、ゼカリヤ、アザリヤ、ミカエルおよびシバテヤ是みなイスラエルの王ヨシヤパテの子なり
He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah; all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
3 その父彼らに金銀寶物の賜物を多く與へまたユダの守衛の邑々を與へけるが國はヨラムに與へたりヨラム長子なりければなり
Their father gave them great gifts, of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn.
4 ヨラムその父の位に登りて力つよくなりければその兄弟等をことごとく劍にかけて殺し又イスラエルの牧伯等數人を殺せり
Now when Jehoram was risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and various also of the princes of Israel.
5 ヨラムは三十二歳の時位に即ヱルサレムにて八年の間世を治めたり
Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
6 彼はアハブの家のなせるごとくイスラエルの王等の道にあゆめりアハブの女を妻となしたればなり斯かれヱホバの目に惡と觀たまふ事をなせしかども
He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab; for he had the daughter of Ahab as wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
7 ヱホバ曩にダビデに契約をなし且彼とその子孫とに永遠に光明を與へんと言たまひし故によりてダビデの家を滅ぼすことを欲み給はざりき
However the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a lamp to him and to his children always.
8 ヨラムの世にエドム人叛きてユダの手に服せず自ら王を立たれば
In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
9 ヨラム其牧伯等および一切の戰車をしたがへて渉りゆき夜の中に起いでて自己を圍めるエドム人を撃ちその戰車の長等を撃り
Then Jehoram passed over with his captains, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, along with the captains of the chariots.
10 エドム人は斯叛きてユダの手に服せずなりしが今日まで然り此時にあたりてリブナもまた叛きてユダの手に服せずなりぬ是はヨラムその先祖の神ヱホバを棄たるに因てなり
So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day: then Libnah revolted at the same time from under his hand, because he had forsaken the LORD, the God of his fathers.
11 彼またユダの山々に崇邱を作りてヱルサレムの民に姦淫をおこなはせユダを惑はせり
Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute, and led Judah astray.
12 時に預言者エリヤの書ヨラムの許に達せり其言に云く汝の先祖ダビデの神ヱホバかく言たまふ汝はその父ヨシヤパテの道にあゆまずまたユダの王アサの道にあゆまずして
A letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, "Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father, 'Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
13 イスラエルの王等の道にあゆみユダの人とヱルサレムの民をしてアハブの家の姦淫をなせるごとくに姦淫を行はしめまた汝の父の家の者にて汝に愈れるところの汝の兄弟等を殺せり
but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute, like the house of Ahab did, and also have slain your brothers of your father's house, who were better than yourself:
14 故にヱホバ大なる災禍をもて汝の民汝の子女汝の妻等および汝の一切の所有を撃たまふべし
look, the LORD will strike with a great plague your people, and your children, and your wives, and all your substance;
15 汝はまた臓腑の疾を得て大病になりその疾日々に重りて臓腑つひに墜んと
and you shall have great sickness by disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day.'"
16 即ちヱホバ、ヨラムを攻させんとてエテオピアに近きところのペリシテ人とアラビヤ人の心を振起したまひければ
The LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians:
17 彼らユダに攻のぼりて之を侵し王の家に在ところの貨財を盡く奪ひ取りまたヨウムの子等と妻等をも携へ去れり是をもてその末子ヱホアハズの外には一人も遺れる者なかりき
and they came up against Judah, and broke into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
18 此もろもろの事の後ヱホバ彼を撃て臓腑に愈ざる疾を生ぜしめたまひければ
After all this the LORD struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
19 月日を送り二年を經るにおよびてその臓腑疾のために墜ち重き病苦によりて死ねり民かれの先祖のために焚物をなせし如く彼のためには焚物をなさざりき
It happened, in process of time, at the end of two years, that his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died of severe diseases. His people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.
20 彼は三十二歳の時位に即き八年の間ヱルサレムにて世を治めて終に薨去れり之を惜む者なかりき人衆これをダビデの邑に葬れり但し王等の墓にはあらず
Thirty-two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years: and he departed without being desired; and they buried him in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
