< 列王記Ⅱ 16 >
1 レマリヤの子ペカの十七年にユダの王ヨタムの子アハズ王となれり
The seuenteenth yeere of Pekah the sonne of Remaliah, Ahaz the sonne of Iotham King of Iudah began to reigne.
2 アハズは王となれる時二十歳にしてエルサレムにおいて十六年世を治めたりしがその神ヱホバの善と見たまふ事をその父ダビデのごとくは行はざりき
Twentie yeere olde was Ahaz, when hee began to reigne, and he reigned sixteene yeere in Ierusalem, and did not vprightly in the sight of the Lord his God, like Dauid his father:
3 彼はイスラエルの王等の道にあゆみまたその子に火の中を通らしめたり是は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おこなふところの憎むべき事にしたがへるなり
But walked in the way of ye kings of Israel, yea, and made his sonne to go through the fire, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.
4 彼は崇邱の上丘の上一切の靑木の下に犠牲をささげ香をたけり
Also he offred and burnt incense in the hie places and on the hilles, and vnder euery greene tree.
5 この頃スリアの王レヂンおよびレマリヤの子なるイスラエルの王ペカ、エルサレムにせめのぼりてアハズを圍みけるが勝ことを得ざりき
Then Rezin king of Aram and Pekah sonne of Remaliah King of Israel came vp to Ierusalem to fight: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not ouercome him.
6 この時にあたりてスリアの王レヂン復エラテをスリアに歸せしめユダヤ人をエラテより逐いだせり而してスリア人エラテにきたりて其處に住み今日にいたる
At the same time Rezin king of Aram restored Elath to Aram, and droue the Iewes from Elath: so the Aramites came to Elath, and dwelt there vnto this day.
7 是においてアハズ使者をアツスリヤの王テグラテピレセルにつかはして言しめけるは我は汝の臣僕汝の子なりスリアの王とイスラエルの王と我に攻かかりをれば請ふ上りきたりてかれらの手より我を救ひいだしたまへと
Then Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath Pileser king of Asshur, saying, I am thy seruant and thy sonne: come vp, and deliuer me out of the hand of the king of Aram, and out of the hand of the King of Israel which rise vp against me.
8 アハズすなはちヱホバの家と王の家の庫とにあるところの銀と金をとりこれを禮物としてアツスリヤの王におくりしかば
And Ahaz tooke the siluer and the golde that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the Kings house, and sent a present vnto the King of Asshur.
9 アツスリヤの王かれの請を容たりアツスリヤの王すなはちダマスコに攻のぼりて之をとりその民をキルに擄うつしまたレヂンを殺せり
And the King of Asshur consented vnto him: and the King of Asshur went vp against Damascus. and when he had taken it, he caryed the people away to Kir, and slew Rezin.
10 かくてアハズはアツスリヤの王テグラテピレセルに會んとてダマスコにゆきけるがダマスコにおいて一箇の祭壇を見たればアスス王その祭壇の工作にしたがひて委くこれが圖と式樣を制へて祭司ウリヤにこれをおくれり
And King Ahaz went vnto Damascus to meete Tiglath Pileser King of Asshur: and when King Ahaz sawe the altar that was at Damascus, he sent to Vriiah the Priest the paterne of the altar, and the facion of it, and all the workemanship thereof.
11 是において祭司ウリヤはアハズ王がダマスコよりおくりたる所にてらして一箇の祭壇をつくりアハズ王がダマスコより來るまでにこれを作りおけり
And Vriiah the Priest made an altar in al poyntes like to that which King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so did Vriiah the Priest against King Ahaz came from Damascus.
12 茲に王ダマスコより歸りてその祭壇を見壇にちかよりてこれに上り
So when the King was come from Damascus, the King sawe the altar: and the King drewe neere to the altar and offered thereon.
13 壇の上に燔祭と素祭を焚き灌祭をそそぎ酬恩祭の血を灑げり
And hee burnt his burnt offering, and his meate offring, and powred his drinke offring, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offrings besides the altar,
14 彼またヱホバの前なる銅の壇を家の前より移せり即ちこれをかの新しき壇とヱホバの家の間より移してかの壇の北の方に置たり
And set it by the brasen altar which was before the Lord, and brought it in farther before the house betweene the altar and the house of the Lord, and set it on the North side of the altar.
15 而してアハズ王祭司ウリヤに命じて言ふ朝の燔祭夕の素祭および王の燔祭とその素祭ならびに國中の民の燔祭とその素祭および灌祭はこの大なる壇の上に焚べし又この上に燔祭の牲の血と犠牲の物の血をすべて灑ぐべし彼の銅の壇の事はなほ考ふるあらん
And King Ahaz commanded Vriiah the Priest, and sayde, Vpon the great altar set on fire in the morning the burnt offring, and in the euen the meate offring, and the Kings burnt offring and his meate offering, with the burnt offring of all the people of the lande, and their meate offring, and their drinke offrings: and powre thereby all the blood of the burnt offring, and all the blood of the sacrifice, and the brasen altar shalbe for me to inquire of God.
16 祭司ウリヤすなはちアハズ王のすべて命じたるごとくに然なせり
And Vriiah the Priest did according to all that King Ahaz had commanded.
17 またアハズ王臺の邊を削りて洗盤をその上よりうつしまた海をその下なる銅の牛の上よりおろして石の座の上に置ゑ
And King Ahaz brake the borders of the bases, and tooke the caldrons from off them, and tooke downe the sea from the brasen oxen that were vnder it, and put it vpon a pauement of stones.
18 また家に造りたる安息日用の遊廊および王の外の入口をアツスリヤの王のためにヱホバの家の中に變じたり
And the vaile for the Sabbath (that they had made in the house) and the Kings entrie without turned he to the house of the Lord, because of the King of Asshur.
19 アハズのなしたるその餘の行爲はユダの王の歴代志の書にしるさるるにあらずや
Concerning the rest of the actes of Ahaz, which he did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
20 アハズ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ヒゼキヤこれにかはりて王となれり
And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buryed with his fathers in the citie of Dauid, and Hezekiah his sonne reigned in his steade.
