歴代誌Ⅱ 26
1 是においてユダの民みなウジヤをとりて王となしてその父アマジヤに代らしめたり時に年十六なりき
And all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.
2 彼エラテの邑を建てこれを再びユダに歸せしむ是はかの王がその先祖等とともに寝りし後なりき
It was he that built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after the king slept with his fathers.
3 ウジヤは十六歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて五十二年の間世を治めたりその母はヱルサレムの者にして名をヱコリアといふ
Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.
4 ウジヤはその父アマジヤが凡てなしたる如くヱホバの善と觀たまふ事を行ひ
And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
5 神の默示に明なりしかのゼカリヤの世にある日の間心をこめてヱホバを求めたりそのヱホバを求むる間は神これをして幸福ならしめたまへり
And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God; and in the days that he sought Jehovah, God made him to prosper.
6 彼いでてペリシテ人と戰ひガテの石垣ヤブネの石垣およびアシドドの石垣を圮しアシドドの地ならびにペリシテ人の中間に邑を建つ
And he went forth and fought against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
7 神かれを助けてペリシテ人グルバアルに住むアラビヤ人およびメウニ人を攻撃しめたまへり
And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gur-Baal, and the Maonites.
8 アンモニ人はまたウジヤに貢を納るウジヤの名つひにエジプトの入口までも廣まれり其は甚だ強くなりければなり
And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad to the entrance of Egypt; for he became exceeding strong.
9 ウジヤ、ヱルサレムの隅の門谷の門および角隅に戌樓を建てこれを堅固にし
And Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the angle, and fortified them.
10 また荒野に戌樓を建て許多の水溜を掘り其は家畜を多く有たればなり亦平野にも平地にも家畜を有り又山々およびカルメルには農夫と葡萄を修る者を有り農事を好みたればなり
And he built towers in the desert and digged many cisterns; for he had much cattle, both in the lowland and on the plateau, husbandmen [also] and vinedressers on the mountains and in Carmel; for he loved husbandry.
11 ウジヤ戰士一旅團あり書記ヱイエルと牧伯マアセヤの數調査によりて隊々にわかれて戰爭に出づ皆王の軍長ハナニヤの手に屬す
And Uzziah had an army of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king's captains.
12 大勇士の族長の數は都合二千六百
The whole number of the chief fathers of the mighty men of valour was two thousand six hundred.
13 その手に屬する軍勢は三十萬七千五百人みな大なる力をもて戰ひ王を助けて敵に當る
And under their hand was an army-host of three hundred and seven thousand five hundred, that made war with mighty power to help the king against the enemy.
14 ウジヤその全軍のために楯戈兜鎧弓および投石器の石を備ふ
And Uzziah prepared for them, throughout the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, and even slinging-stones.
15 彼またヱルサレムにおいて工人に機械を案へ造らしめ之を戌樓および石垣に施こし之をもて矢ならびに大石を射出せり是においてその名遠く廣まれり其は非常の援助を蒙りて旺盛になりたればなり
And he made in Jerusalem machines invented by skilful men, to be upon the towers and upon the bulwarks, wherewith to shoot arrows and great stones. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he became strong.
16 然るに彼旺盛になるにおよびその心に高ぶりて惡き事を行なへり即ち彼その神ヱホバにむかひて罪を犯しヱホバの殿に入て香壇の上に香を焚んとせり
But when he became strong his heart was lifted up to [his] downfall; and he transgressed against Jehovah his God, and went into the temple of Jehovah to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
17 時に祭司アザリヤ、ヱホバの祭司たる勇者八十人を率ゐて彼の後にしたがひ入り
And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him priests of Jehovah, eighty valiant men;
18 ウジヤ王を阻へてこれに言けるはウジヤよヱホバに香を焚ことは汝のなすべき所にあらずアロンの子孫にして香を焚ために潔められたる祭司等のなすべき所なり聖所より出よ汝は罪を犯せりヱホバ神なんぢに榮を加へたまはじと
and they withstood Uzziah the king, and said to him, It is not for thee, Uzziah, to burn incense to Jehovah, but for the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast transgressed; neither shall it be for thine honour from Jehovah Elohim.
19 是においてウジヤ怒を發し香爐を手にとりて香を焚んとせしがその祭司にむかひて怒を發しをる間に癩病その額に起れり時に彼はヱホバの室にて祭司等の前にあたりて香壇の側にをる
And Uzziah was wroth; and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense; and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of Jehovah, beside the incense altar.
20 祭司の長アザリヤおよび一切の祭司等彼を見しに已にその額に癩病生じゐたれば彼を其處より速にいだせり彼もまたヱホバの己を撃たまへるを見て自ら急ぎて出去り
And Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked upon him, and behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; even he himself hasted to go out, because Jehovah had smitten him.
21 ウジヤ王はその死る日まで癩病人となり居しがその癩病人となるにおよびては別殿に住りヱホバの室より斷れたればなり其子ヨタム王の家を管理て國の民を審判り
And Uzziah the king was a leper to the day of his death, and dwelt in a separate house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of Jehovah. And Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land.
22 ウジヤのその餘の始終の行爲はアモツの子預言者イザヤこれを書記したり
And the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz write.
23 ウジヤその先祖等とともに寝りたれば彼は癩病人なりとて王等の墓に連接る地にこれを葬りてその先祖等とともならしむその子ヨタムこれに代りて王となれり
And Uzziah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the burial-ground of the kings, for they said, He is a leper. And Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
