列王記Ⅱ 17
1 ユダの王アハズの十二年にエラの子ホセア王となりサマリヤにおいて九年イスラエルを治めたり
In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel, and reigned nine years.
2 彼ヱホバの目の前に惡をなせしがその前にありしイスラエルの王等のごとくはあらざりき
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, yet not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
3 アッスリヤの王シヤルマネセル攻のぼりたればホセアこれに臣服して貢を納たりしが
Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and brought him presents.
4 アッスリヤの王つひにホセアの己に叛けるを見たり其は彼使者をエジプトの王ソにおくり且前に歳々なせしごとくに貢をアッスリヤ王に納ざりければなり是においてアツスリヤの王かれを禁錮て獄におけり
And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and offered no present to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year; therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.
5 すなはちアッスリヤの王せめ上りて國中を遍くゆきめぐりサマリヤにのぼりゆきて三年が間これをせめ圍みたりしが
Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
6 ホセアの九年におよびてアッスリヤの王つひにサマリヤを取りイスラエルをアッスリヤに擄へゆきてこれをハラとハボルとゴザン河の邊とメデアの邑々とにおきぬ
In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away unto Assyria, and placed them in Halah, and in Habor, on the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
7 此事ありしはイスラエルの子孫己をエジプトの地より導きのぼりてエジプトの王パロの手を脱しめたるその神ヱホバに對て罪を犯し他の神々を敬ひ
And it was so, because the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,
8 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法度にあゆみ又イスラエルの王等の設けし法度にあゆみたるに因てなり
and walked in the statutes of the nations, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they practised;
9 イスラエルの子孫義からぬ事をもてその神ヱホバを掩ひかくしその邑々に崇邱をたてたり看守臺より城にいたるまで然り
and the children of Israel did impute things that were not right unto the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city;
10 彼等一切の高丘の上一切の靑樹の下に偶像とアシラ像を立て
and they set them up pillars and Asherim upon every high hill, and under every leafy tree;
11 ヱホバがかれらの前より移したまひし異邦人のなせしごとくにその崇邱に香を焚き又惡を行ひてヱホバを怒らせたり
and there they offered in all the high places, as did the nations whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD;
12 ヱホバかれらに汝等これらの事を爲べからずと言おきたまひしに彼等偶像に事ふることを爲しなり
and they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them: 'Ye shall not do this thing';
13 ヱホバ諸の預言者諸の先見者によりてイスラエルとユダに見證をたて汝等翻へりて汝らの惡き道を離れわが誡命わが法度をまもり我が汝等の先祖等に命じまたわが僕なる預言者等によりて汝等に傳へし法に率由ふやうにせよと言たまへり
yet the LORD forewarned Israel, and Judah, by the hand of every prophet, and of every seer, saying: 'Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep My commandments and My statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by the hand of My servants the prophets';
14 然るに彼ら聽ことをせずしてその項を強くせり彼らの先祖等がその神ヱホバを信ぜずしてその項を強くしたるが如し
notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their neck, like to the neck of their fathers, who believed not in the LORD their God;
15 彼等はヱホバの法度を棄てヱホバがその先祖等と結びたまひし契約を棄てまたその彼等に見證したまひし證言を棄て且虚妄物にしたがひて虚浮なりまたその周圍なる異邦人の跡をふめり是はヱホバが是のごとくに事をなすべからずと彼らに命じ給ひし者なり
and they rejected His statutes, and His covenant that He made with their fathers, and His testimonies wherewith He testified against them; and they went after things of nought, and became nought, and after the nations that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them that they should not do like them;
16 彼等その神ヱホバの諸の誡命を遺て己のために二の牛の像を鑄なし又アシラ像を造り天の衆群を拝み且バアルに事へ
and they forsook all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal;
17 またその子息息女に火の中を通らしめ卜筮および禁厭をなしヱホバの目の前に惡を爲ことに身を委ねてその怒を惹起せり
and they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and gave themselves over to do that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him;
18 是をもてヱホバ大にイスラエルを怒りこれをその前より除きたまひたればユダの支派のほかは遺れる者なし
that the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of His sight; there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.
19 然るにユダもまたその神ヱホバの誡命を守ずしてイスラエルの立たる法度にあゆみたれば
Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they practised.
20 ヱホバ、イスラエルの苗裔ぞことごとく棄これを苦しめこれをその掠むる者の手に付して遂にこれをその前より打すてたまへり
And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until He had cast them out of His sight.
21 すなはちイスラエルをダビデの家より裂はなしたまひしかばイスラエル、ネバテの子ヤラベアムを王となせしにヤラベアム、イスラエルをしてヱホバにしたがふことを止しめてこれに大なる罪を犯さしめたりしが
For He rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king; and Jeroboam drew Israel away from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.
22 イスラエルの子孫はヤラベアムのなせし諸の罪をおこなひつづけてこれに離るることなかりければ
And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;
23 遂にヱホバその僕なる諸の預言者をもて言たまひしごとくにイスラエルをその前より除きたまへりイスラエルはすなはちその國よりアッスリヤにうつされて今日にいたる
until the LORD removed Israel out of His sight, as He spoke by the hand of all His servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of their own land to Assyria, unto this day.
24 斯てアッスリヤの王バビロン、クタ、アワ、ハマテおよびセパルワイムより人をおくりてこれをイスラエルの子孫の代にサマリヤの邑々に置ければその人々サマリヤを有ちてその邑々に住しが
And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
25 その彼處に始て住る時には彼等ヱホバを敬ふことをせざりしかばヱホバ獅子をかれらの中に送りたまひてその獅子かれら若干を殺せり
And so it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the LORD; therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
26 是によりてアッスリヤの王に告て言ふ汝が移てサマリヤの邑々におきたまひしかの國々の民はこの地の神の道を知ざるが故にその神獅子をかれらの中におくりて獅子かれらを殺せり是は彼等その國の神の道を知ざるに因てなり
Wherefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying: 'The nations which thou hast carried away, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land; therefore He hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.'
27 アッスリヤの王すなはち命を下して言ふ汝等が彼處より曳きたりし祭司一人を彼處に携ゆけ即ち彼をして彼處にいたりて住しめその國の神の道をその人々に敎へしめよと
Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying: 'Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.'
28 是に於てサマリヤより移れし祭司一人きたりてベテルに住みヱホバの敬ふべき事をかれらに敎へたり
So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Beth-el, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.
29 その民はまた各々自分自分の神々を造りてこれをかのサマリア人が造りたる諸の崇邱に安置せり民みなその住る邑々において然なしぬ
Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.
30 即ちバビロンの人々はスコテペノテを作りクタの人々はネルガルを作りハマテの人々はアシマを作り
And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
31 アビ人はニブハズとタルタクを作りセパルワイ人は其子女を火に焚てセパルワイムの神アデランメルクおよびアナンメルクに奉げたり
and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
32 彼ら又ヱホバを敬ひ凡俗の民をもて崇邱の祭司となしたれば其人これがために崇邱に家々にて職務をなせり
So they feared the LORD, and made unto them from among themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
33 斯その人々ヱホバを敬ひたりしが亦その携へ出されし國々の風俗にしたがひて自己自己の神々に事へたり
They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.
34 今日にいたるまで彼等は前の習俗にしたがひて事をなしヱホバを敬はず彼等の法度をも例典をも行はず又ヱホバがイスラエルを名けたまひしヤコブの子孫に命じたまひし律法をも誡命をも行はざるなり
Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law or after the commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom He named Israel;
35 昔ヱホバこれと契約をたてこれに命じて言たまひけらく汝等は他の神を敬ふべからずまたこれを拝みこれに事へこれに犠牲をささぐべからず
with whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying: 'Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow down to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them;
36 只大なる能をもて腕を伸て汝等をエジプトの地より導き上りしヱホバをのみ汝等敬ひこれを拝みこれにこれに犠牲をささぐべし
but the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, Him shall ye fear, and Him shall ye worship, and to Him shall ye sacrifice;
37 またその汝等のために録したまへる法度と例典と律法と誡命を汝等謹みて恒に守るべし他の神々を敬ふべからず
and the statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the commandment, which He wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods;
38 我が汝等とむすびし契約を汝等忘るべからず又他の神々を敬ふべからず
and the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods;
39 只汝らの神ヱホバを敬ふべし彼なんじらをその諸の敵の手より救ひいださん
but the LORD your God shall ye fear; and He will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.'
40 然るに彼等は聽ことをせずしてなほ前の習俗にしたがひて事を行へり
Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.
41 偖この國々の民は斯ヱホバを敬ひまたその雕める像に事たりしがその子も孫も共に然りその先祖のなせしごとくに今日までも然なすなり
So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images; their children likewise, and their children's children, as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.
