歴代誌Ⅱ 22
1 ヱルサレムの民ヨラムの季子アハジアを王となして之に継しむ其は曾てアラビヤ人とともに陣營に攻きたりし軍兵その長子をことごとく殺したればなり是をもてユダの王ヨラムの子アハジア王となれり
Then the people of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, the youngest son of Jehoram, king in his place, since the raiders who had come into the camp with the Arabs had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah son of Jehoram became king of Judah.
2 アハジアは四十二歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて一年の間世を治めたりその母はオムリの女にして名をアタリヤといふ
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri.
3 アハジアもまたアハブの家の道に歩めり其母かれを敎へて惡をなさしめたるなり
Ahaziah also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor in wickedness.
4 即ち彼はアハブの家のごとくにヱホバの目の前に惡をおこなへり其父の死し後彼かくアハブの家の者の敎にしたがひたれば終に身を滅ぼすに至れり
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as the house of Ahab had done, for to his destruction they were his counselors after the death of his father.
5 アハジアまた彼らの敎にしたがひイスラエルの王アハブの子ヨラムとともにギレアデのラモテにゆきてスリアの王ハザエルと戰ひけるにスリア人ヨラムに傷を負せたり
Ahaziah also followed their counsel and went with Joram son of Ahab king of Israel to fight against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead. But the Arameans wounded Joram;
6 是においてヨラムはそのスリアの王ハザエルと戰ふにあたりてラムにて負たる傷を療さんとてヱズレルに歸れりユダの王ヨラムの子アザリヤはアハブの子ヨラムが病をるをもてヱズレルに下りてこれを訪ふ
so he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds they had inflicted on him at Ramah when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. Then Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to Jezreel to visit Joram son of Ahab, because Joram had been wounded.
7 アハジアがヨラムを訪ふて害に遇しは神の然らしめたまへるなり即ちアハジアは來り居てヨラムとともに出てニムシの子ヱヒウを迎へたりヱヒウはヱホバが曩にアハブの家を絶去しめんとて膏を沃ぎたまひし者なり
Ahaziah’s downfall came from God when he went to visit Joram. When Ahaziah arrived, he went out with Joram to meet Jehu son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.
8 ヱヒウ、アハブの家を罰するに方りてユダの牧伯等およびアハジアの兄弟等の子等がアハジアに奉へをるに遇て之を殺せり
So while Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, he found the rulers of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s brothers who were serving Ahaziah, and he killed them.
9 アハジアはサマリヤに匿れたりしがヱヒウこれを探求めければ人々これを執ヘヱヒウの許に曳きたりて之を殺せり但し彼は心を盡してヱホバを求めたるヨシヤパテの子なればとてこれを葬れり斯りしかばアハジアの家は國を統治むる力なくなりぬ
Then Jehu looked for Ahaziah, and Jehu’s soldiers captured him while he was hiding in Samaria. So Ahaziah was brought to Jehu and put to death. They buried him, for they said, “He is the grandson of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.” So no one was left from the house of Ahaziah with the strength to rule the kingdom.
10 茲にアハジアの母アタリヤその子の死たるを見て起てユダの家の王子をことごとく滅ぼしたりしが
When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to annihilate all the royal heirs of the house of Judah.
11 王の女ヱホシバ、アハジアの子ヨアシを王の子等の殺さるる者の中より竊み取り彼とその乳媼を夜衣の室におきて彼をアタリヤに匿したればアタリヤかれを殺さざりきヱホシバはヨラム王の女アハジアの妹にして祭司ヱホヤダの妻なり
But Jehoshabeath daughter of King Jehoram took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the sons of the king who were being murdered, and she put him and his nurse in a bedroom. Because Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram and the wife of Jehoiada the priest, was Ahaziah’s sister, she hid Joash from Athaliah so that she could not kill him.
12 かくてヨアシはヱホバの家に匿れて彼らとともにをること六年アタリヤ國に王たりき
And Joash remained hidden with them in the house of God for six years while Athaliah ruled the land.
