歴代誌Ⅱ 32
1 ヒゼキヤが此等の事を行ひ且つ忠實なりし後アツスリヤの王セナケリブ來りてユダに入り堅固なる邑々にむかひて陣を張り之を攻取んとす
After these things done in faithfulness, came Sennacherib king of Assyria, —and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fortified cities, and thought to break into them for himself.
2 ヒゼキヤ、セナケリブの旣に來りヱルサレムに攻むかはんとするを見
And, when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, —and that, his face, was—to war, against Jerusalem,
3 その牧伯等および勇士等と謀りて邑の外なる一切の泉水を塞がんとす彼等これを助く
he took counsel with his captains and his heroes, to stop the waters of the fountains, which were outside the city, —and they helped him.
4 衆多の民あつまりて一切の泉水および國の中を流れわたる渓河を塞ぎていひけるはアツスリヤの王等來りて水を多く得ば豈で可らんやと
And there were gathered together much people, so they stopped all the fountains, and the torrent that flowed through the midst of the land, saying, —Wherefore should the kings of Assyria come, and find many waters?
5 ヒゼキヤまた力を強くし破れたる石垣をことごとく建なほして之を戌樓まで築き上げその外にまた石垣をめぐらしダビデの邑のミロを堅くし戈盾を多く造り
And he took courage, and built all the wall that was broken down and carried up thereon towers, and, on the outside, another wall, and strengthened Millo, the city of David, -and made weapons in abundance, and bucklers,
6 軍長を多く民の上に立て邑の門の廣場に民を集めてこれを努ひて言ふ
and set captains of war over the people, —and gathered them together unto him in the broadway of the gate of the city, and spake unto their heart, saying, —
7 汝ら心を強くし且勇めアツスリヤの王のためにも彼とともなる群衆のためにも懼るる勿れ慄く勿れ我らとともなる者は彼とともになる者よりも多きぞかし
Be strong and bold, do not fear neither be dismayed, because of the king of Assyria, nor because of all the multitude that is with him, —for, with us, is One greater than with him:
8 彼とともなる者は肉の腕なり然れども我らとともなる者は我らの神ヱホバにして我らを助け我らに代りて戰かひたまふべしと民はユダの王ヒゼキヤの言に安んず
with him, is an arm of flesh, but, with us, is Yahweh our God, to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people leaned upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
9 此後アツスリヤの王セナケリブその全軍をもてラキシを攻圍み居りて臣僕をヱルサレムに遣はしてユダの王ヒゼキヤおよびヱルサレムにをる一切のユダ人に告しめて云く
After this, Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants towards Jerusalem, himself, being near Lachish, and all his imperial might with him, —unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that was in Jerusalem, saying:
10 アツスリヤの王セナケリブかく言ふ汝ら何を恃みてヱルサレムに閉籠りをるや
Thus, saith Sennacherib, king of Assyria, -Upon what, are, ye, trusting, that ye are awaiting the siege in Jerusalem?
11 ヒゼキヤ我らの神ヱホバ、アツスリヤの王の手より我らを救ひ出したまはんと言て汝らを浚かし汝らをして饑渇て死しめんとするに非ずや
Is not, Hezekiah, persuading you, so as to deliver you up to die with hunger and with thirst, saying, —Yahweh our God, will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
12 此ヒゼキヤはすなはちヱホバの諸の崇邱と祭壇を取のぞきユダとヱルサレムとに命じて汝らは唯一の壇の前にて崇拝を爲しその上に香を焚べしと言し者にあらずや
Is it not, the same Hezekiah, who hath removed his high places, and his altars, —and hath given word to Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Before one altar, shall ye bow yourselves down, and, thereupon, shall ye burn incense?
13 汝らは我およびわが先祖等が諸の國の民に爲したる所を知ざるか其等の國々の民の神少許にてもその國をわが手より救ひ取ることを得しや
Will ye not take note, what I have done, I and my fathers, to all the peoples of the countries? Have the gods of the nations of the countries been, at all able, to deliver their country, out of my hand?
14 わが先祖等の滅ぼし盡せし國民の諸の神の中誰か己の民をわが手より救ひ出すことを得し者あらんや然れば汝らの神いかでか汝らをわが手より救ひいだすことを得ん
Who, among all the gods of these nations whom my fathers devoted to destruction, hath ever been able to deliver his people out of my hand, —that your god should be able to deliver you out of my hand?
15 然れば斯ヒゼキヤに欺かるる勿れ浚かさるる勿れまた彼を信ずる勿れ何の民何の國の神もその民を我手または我父祖の手より救ひ出すことを得ざりしなれば况て汝らの神いかでか我手より汝らを救ひ出すことを得んと
Now, therefore, do not let Hezekiah beguile you nor persuade you thus, neither do ye believe him. For no, god, of any nation or kingdom hath ever been able to deliver his people out of my hand, or out of the hand of my fathers, -how much less shall, your gods, deliver you, out of my hand?
16 セナケリブの臣僕等この外にも多くヱホバ神およびその僕ヒゼキヤを誹れり
And, yet more, spake his servants, against Yahweh, God, —and against Hezekiah his servant.
17 セナケリブまた書をかきおくりてイスラエルの神ヱホバを嘲りかつ誹り諸國の民の神々その民をわが手より救ひいださざりし如くヒゼキヤの神もその民をわが手より救ひ出さじと云ふ
Letters, also wrote he, to scoff at Yahweh God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, Like the gods of the nations of the countries, who delivered not their people out of my hand, so, shall the god of Hezekiah not deliver his people out of my hand.
18 彼ら遂に大聲を擧げユダヤ語をもて石垣の上なるヱルサレムの民に語ひ之を威しかつ擾せり是は邑を取んとてなり
Then cried they out, with a loud voice, in the Jews’ language, unto the people of Jerusalem who were upon the wall, to affright them, and to terrify them, —to the end they might capture the city.
19 斯かれらはヱルサレムの神を論ずること人の手の作なる地上の民の神々を論ずるがごとくせり
And they spake against the God of Jerusalem, —as against the gods of the peoples of the earth, the work of the hands of men.
20 是によりてヒゼキヤ王およびアモツの子預言者イザヤともに祈祷て天に呼はりければ
And Hezekiah the king and Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, prayed concerning this, -and made outcry unto the heavens,
21 ヱホバ天の使一箇を遣はしてアツスリヤ王の陣營にある一切の大勇士および將官軍長等を絶しめたまへり斯りしかば王面を赧らめて己の國に還りけるがその神の家にいりし時其身より出たる者等劍をもて之を其處に弑せり
So Yahweh sent a messenger, who cut off every hero of valour, and chief ruler and captain, in the camp of the king of Assyria, —and he returned with shame of face to his own land, and, when he entered the house of his god, then, the issue of his own body—there, caused him to fall by the sword.
22 是のごとくヱホバ、ヒゼキヤとヱルサレムの民をアツスリヤの王セナケリブの手および諸人の手より救ひいだし四方において之を守護たまへり
Thus did Yahweh save Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem out of the hand of Sennacherib king of Assyria, and out of the hand of every one, —and gave them rest on every side.
23 是において衆多の人献納物をヱルサレムに携へきたりてヱホバに奉りまた財寳をユダの王ヒゼキヤに餽れり此後ヒゼキヤは萬國の民に尊び見らる
And, many, were bringing in a present unto Yahweh, to Jerusalem, and precious things, unto Hezekiah king of Judah, —so that he was exalted in the eyes of all the nations, from thenceforth.
24 當時ヒゼキヤ病て死んとせしがヱホバに祈りければヱホバこれに告をなし之に休徴を賜へり
In those days, was Hezekiah sick unto death, —and, when he prayed unto Yahweh, he was entreated of him and, a wonderful token, he gave him.
25 然るにヒゼキヤその蒙むりし恩に酬ゆることをせずして心に高ぶりければ震怒これに臨まんとしまたユダとヱルサレムに臨まんとせしが
But, not according to the benefit done unto him, did Hezekiah make return, for uplifted was his heart, —and so there came upon him, wrath, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.
26 ヒゼキヤその心に高慢を悔て身を卑くしヱルサレムの民も同じく然なしたるに因てヒゼキヤの世にはヱホバの震怒かれらに臨まざりき
Then Hezekiah humbled himself, for the uplifting of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, —so that the wrath of Yahweh came not upon them, in the days of Hezekiah.
27 ヒゼキヤは富と貴を極め府庫を造りて金銀寶石香物楯および各種の寶貴き器物を蔵め
And it came to pass that, Hezekiah, had riches and honour in great abundance, —and, treasuries, made he for himself—for silver and for gold and for costly stones, and for spices and for precious things, and for all utensils to be coveted;
28 また倉廩を造りて穀物酒油などの產物を蔵め圈を造りて種々の家畜を置き牢を造りて羊の群を置き
storehouses also, for the increase of corn, and new wine and oil, —and cribs for every kind of beast, and cribs for the flocks;
29 また許多の邑を設けかつ牛羊を夥多しく有り是は神貨財を甚だ多くこれに賜ひしが故なり
and, cities, made he for himself, and possessions of flocks and herds, in abundance, —for God had given him exceeding great wealth.
30 このヒゼキヤまたギホンの水の上の源を塞ぎてこれを下より眞直にダビデの邑の西の方に引り斯ヒゼキヤはその一切の工を善なし就たり
And, the same Hezekiah, stopped up the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and brought them straight down the west side of the city of David, —and Hezekiah prospered in all his work.
31 但しバビロンの君等が使者を遣はしてこの國にありし奇蹟を問しめたる時には神かれを棄おきたまへり是その心に有ところの事を盡く知んがために之を試みたまへるなり
Yet verily, with regard to the ambassadors of the rulers of Babylon, who sent unto him to enquire concerning the wonderful token which came to pass in the land, God left him, —to prove him, to take note of all that was in his heart.
32 ヒゼキヤのその餘の行爲およびその徳行はユダとイスラエルの列王紀の書の中なるアモツの子預言者イザヤの默示の中に記さる
But, the rest of the story of Hezekiah, and his lovingkindnesses, there they are, written in the visions of Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, in the book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
33 ヒゼキヤその先祖等と偕に寝りたればダビデの子孫の墓の中なる高き處にこれを葬りユダの人々およびヱルサレムの民みな厚くその死を送れり其子マナセこれに代りて王となる
And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent of the sepulchres of the sons of David, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him, honour, in his death, —and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
