歴代誌Ⅱ 28

1 アハズは二十歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて十六年の間世を治めたりしがその父ダビデと異にしてヱホバの善と觀たまふ所を行はず

Twenty years old, was Ahaz when he began to reign, and, sixteen years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —but he did not that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, like David his father;

2 イスラエルの王等の道にあゆみ亦諸のバアルのために像を鋳造り

but walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, —yea, even molten images, made he to the Baalim;

3 ベンヒンノムの谷にて香を焚きその子を火に燒きなどしてヱホバがイスラエルの子孫の前より逐はらひたまひし異邦人の行ふところの憎むべき事に傚ひ

and, he, burned incense, in the valley of the son of Hinnom, -and burnt his sons, in the fire, according to the abominable ways of the nations, whom Yahweh dispossessed from before the sons of Israel.

4 また崇邱の上丘の上一切の靑木の下にて犠牲をささげ香を焚り

And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and upon the hills, —and under every green tree.

5 是故にその神ヱホバかれをスリアの王の手に付したまひてスリア人つひに彼を撃破りその人々を衆く虜囚としてダマスコに曳ゆけり彼はまたイスラエルの王の手にも付されたればイスラエルの王かれを撃て大にその人を殺せり

Wherefore Yahweh his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria, who smote him, and carried away captive from him a large body of captives, and brought them into Damascus, —yea, even into the hand of the king of Israel, was he delivered, who smote him with a great smiting.

6 すなはちレマリヤの子ペカ、ユダにおいて一日の中に十二萬人を殺せり皆勇士なりき是は彼らその先祖の神ヱホバを棄しによるなり

And Pekah son of Remaliah slew, in Judah, a hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all, sons of valour, -because they had forsaken Yahweh, God of their fathers.

7 その時にエフライムの勇士ジクリといふ者王の子マアセヤ宮内卿アズリカムおよび王に亞ぐ人エルカナを殺せり

And Zichri a hero of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah son of the king, and Azrikam, chief ruler of the house, —and Elkanah, that was next unto the king.

8 イスラエルの子孫つひにその兄弟の中より婦人ならびに男子女子など合せて二十萬人を俘擄にしまた衆多の掠取物を爲しその掠取物をサマリアに携へゆけり

And the sons of Israel, carried away captive, from among their brethren two hundred thousand, wives, sons and daughters, moreover also, of much spoil, did they plunder them, —and brought the spoil to Samaria.

9 時に彼處にヱホバの預言者ありその名をオデデといふ彼サマリアに歸れる軍勢の前に進みいでて之に言けるは汝らの先祖の神ヱホバ、ユダを怒りてこれを汝らの手に付したまひしが汝らは天に達するほどの忿怒をもて之を殺せり

But, in that place, was a prophet unto Yahweh, Oded his name, so he went out to meet the host that was coming unto Samaria, and said unto them, Lo! in the wrath of Yahweh, God of your fathers, against Judah, hath he delivered them into your hand, —and ye have slain them in a rage, until, to the heavens, it hath reached.

10 然のみならず汝ら今ユダとヱルサレムの子孫を圧つけて己の奴婢となさんと思ふ然ども汝ら自身もまた汝らの神ヱホバに罪を獲たる身にあらずや

Now, therefore, ye, are thinking to tread down, the children of Judah and Jerusalem, as servants and as handmaids for yourselves. But is it not so—that, ye yourselves, are altogether guilty against Yahweh your God?

11 然ば今我に聽き汝らがその兄弟の中より擄へ來りし俘擄を放ち歸せヱホバの烈しき怒なんぢらの上に臨まんとすればなりと

Now, therefore, hearken unto me, and restore the captives whom ye have taken captive from among your brethren, —for, the glow of the anger of Yahweh, is over you.

12 是においてエフライム人の長たる人々すなはちヨハナンの子アザリヤ、メシレモテの子ベレキヤ、シヤルムの子ヒゼキヤ、ハデライの子アマサ等戰爭より歸れる者等の前に立ふさがりて

Then rose up certain of the chiefs of the sons of Ephraim—Azariah son of Jehohanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai, —against them who were coming in from the army;

13 之にいひけるは汝ら俘擄を此に曳いるべからず汝らは我らをしてヱホバに愆を得せしめて更に我らの罪愆を増んとす我らの愆は大にして烈しき怒イスラエルにのぞまんとするなりと

and said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither, for, with guilt against Yahweh already upon us, ye, are thinking to add unto our sins, and unto our guilt, —for great is the guilt we have, and fierce is the anger over Israel.

14 是において兵卒等その俘擄と掠取物を牧伯等と全會衆の前に遺おきければ

So the armed men left the captives, and tile plunder, before the rulers, and all the convocation.

15 上に名を擧げたる人々たちて俘擄を受取り掠取物の中より衣服を取てその裸なる者に着せ之に靴を穿せ食飮を爲しめ膏油を沃ぎ等しその弱き者をば盡く驢馬に乗せ斯して之を棕櫚の邑ヱリコに導きゆきてその兄弟に詣らしめ而してサマリアに歸れり

Then rose up the men who have been expressed by name—and took the captives, and, all who were naked among them, clothed they out of the spoil, and arrayed them and sandalled them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and conducted them with asses for every one that was exhausted, and brought them to Jericho the city of palm-trees, near unto their brethren, —and then returned to Samaria.

16 當時アハズ王人をアツスリヤの王等に遣はして援助を乞しむ

At that time, sent King Ahaz unto the kings of Assyria to help him.

17 其はエドム人また來りてユダを攻撃ち民を擄へて去たればなり

For again had, the Edomites, come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives;

18 ベリシテ人もまた平野の邑々およびユダの南の邑々を侵してベテシメシ、アヤロン、ゲデロテおよびシヨコとその郷里テムナとその郷里ギムゾとその郷里を取て其處に住めり

and, the Philistines, had spread themselves out against the cities of the lowland and of the south, pertaining to Judah, and had captured Beth-shemesh and Aijalon and Gederoth, and Soco with its villages, and Timnah with its villages, and Gimzo, with its villages, —and dwelt there.

19 イスラエルの王アハズの故をもてヱホバかくユダを卑くしたまふ其は彼ユダの中に淫逸なる事を行ひかつヱホバにむかひて大に罪を犯したればなり

For Yahweh had brought Judah low, because of Ahaz king of Israel, —for he had given the rein in Judah, and, been grievously unfaithful, with Yahweh.

20 アツスリヤの王テグラテピレセルは彼の所に來りしかども彼に力をそへずして反てこれを煩はせり

And Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria, came against him, —and distressed him, but strengthened him not.

21 アハズ、ヱホバの家と王の家および牧伯等の家の物を取てアツスリヤの王に與へけれどもアハズを援くることをせざりき

For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of Yahweh, and out of the house of the king, and the rulers, —and gave unto the king of Assyria, but he helped him not.

22 このアハズ王はその困難の時に當りてますますヱホバに罪を犯せり

And, in the time of his distress, he yet further acted unfaithfully with Yahweh, —he, King Ahaz!

23 即ち彼おのれを撃るダマスコの神々に犠牲を献げて言ふスリアの王等の神々はその王等を助くれば我もこれに犠牲を献げん然ば彼ら我を助けんと然れども彼等はかへつてアハズとイスラエル全國を仆す者となれり

For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus who had smitten him, and said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria are helping them, unto them, will I sacrifice, that they may help me. But, they, served to seduce him and all Israel.

24 アハズ神の室の器皿を取聚めて神の室の器皿を切やぶりヱホバの室の戸を閉ぢヱルサレムの隅々に凡て祭壇を造り

And Ahaz gathered together the utensils of the house of God, and brake away the fittings of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of Yahweh, —and made for himself altars at every corner in Jerusalem;

25 ユダの一切の邑々に崇邱を造りて別神に香を焚き等してその先祖の神ヱホバの忿怒を惹おこせり

and, in every several city of Judah, made he high places, for burning incense unto other gods, —and provoked Yahweh, God of his fathers.

26 アハズのその餘の始終の行爲およびその一切の行跡はユダとイスラエルの列王の書に記さる

But, the rest of his story, and all his ways, first and last, there they are, written the book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.

27 アハズその先祖等とともに寝りたればエルサレムの邑にこれを葬れり然どイスラエルの王等の墓にはこれを持ゆかざりき其子ヒゼキヤこれに代りて王となる

And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem, but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel, —and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
