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

In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah, began Ahaz son of Jotham king of Judah to reign.

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

Twenty years old, was Ahaz when he began to reign, and, sixteen years, reigned he in Jerusalem. And he did not that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh his God, like David 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 the kings of Israel, —moreover also, me made, his son, pass through the fire, according to the abominable practices of the nations, whom Yahweh dispossessed from before the sons 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

and he offered sacrifice and burned incense in the high places, and on the hills, —and under every green 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, came up Rezin king of Syria, and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to make war, —and they laid siege against Ahaz, but could not overcome [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 that time, Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath, to Syria, and wholly cleared out the Jews from Eloth, —and, the Syrians, entered Elath, and have dwelt there, unto 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

So Ahaz sent messengers unto Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, Thy servant and thy son, I am, —Come up and save me, out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who are rising up 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 took the silver and the gold that was found in the house of Yahweh, and in the treasuries of the house of the king, —and sent them to the king of Assyria, as a bribe.

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

So the king of Assyria hearkened unto him, and the king of Assyria came up unto Damascus, and seized it, and carried away the people thereof captive to Kir, —and put Rezin, to death.

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

So then King Ahaz went to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, in Damascus, and saw the altar which was in Damascus, —and King Ahaz, sent unto Urijah the priest, a likeness of the altar, and a model thereof, according to all the workmanship 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 Urijah the priest built an altar, —according to all that King Ahaz sent from Damascus, so, did Urijah the priest make it, by the time 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

And, when the king came from Damascus, then the king saw the altar, —so the king drew near unto the altar, and caused offerings to ascend thereupon.

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 he made perfume with his ascending-sacrifice, and with his meal-offering, and poured out his drink-offering, —and dashed the blood of the peace-offerings which he had, upon 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, the altar of bronze which was before Yahweh, he brought away from the forefront of the house, from between the altar, and the house of Yahweh, —and put it at the side of the altar northward.

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 Urijah the priest, saying—Upon the great altar, make thou perfume with the ascending-sacrifice of the morning, and with the meal-offering of the evening, and with the ascending-sacrifice of the king and with his meal-offering, and with the ascending-sacrifice of all the people of the land, and their meal-offering and their drink-offering, and, all the blood of the ascending-offering, and all the blood of the [peace] offering, thereupon, shalt thou dash, —but, the altar of bronze, shall be for me to inquire [into].

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

So Urijah the priest did according to all that King Ahaz 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 cut off the side walls of the stands, and took away from off them the laver, and, the sea, took he down from off the oxen of bronze, which were under it, —and set it on a pavement 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

Also, the covered walk for the Sabbath, which they had built in the house, and the outer entrance for the king, he changed in the house of Yahweh, —because of the king of Assyria.

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

Now, the rest of the story of Ahaz, what he did, is, it, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

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 buried with his fathers, in the city of David, —and, Hezekiah his son, reigned, in his stead.
