列王記Ⅱ 18
1 イスラエルの王エラの子ホセアの三年にユダの王アハズの子ヒゼキア王となれり
Now in the third yeere of Hoshea, sonne of Elah King of Israel, Hezekiah the sonne of Ahaz king of Iudah began to reigne.
2 彼は王となれる時二十五歳にしてエルサレムにて二十九年世ををさめたりその母はザカリヤの女にして名をアビといへり
He was fiue and twentie yeere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned nine and twenty yeere in Ierusalem. His mothers name also was Abi the daughter of Zachariah,
3 ヒゼキヤはその父ダビデの凡てなせしごとくヱホバの善と見たまふ事をなし
And he did vprightly in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Dauid his father had done.
4 崇邱を除き偶像を毀ちアシラ像を斫たふしモーセの造りし銅の蛇を打碎けりこの時までイスラエルの子孫その蛇にむかひて香を焚たればなり人々これをネホシタン(銅物)と稱なせり
He tooke away the hie places, and brake the images, and cut downe the groues, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for vnto those dayes the children of Israel did burne incense to it, and hee called it Nehushtan.
5 ヒゼキヤはイスラエルの神ヱホバを賴り是をもて彼の後にも彼の先にもユダの諸の王等の中に彼に如ものなかりき
He trusted in the Lord God of Israel: so that after him was none like him among all the Kings of Iudah, neither were there any such before him.
6 即ち彼は固くヱホバに身をよせてこれに從ふことをやめずヱホバがモーセに命じたまひしその誡命を守れり
For he claue to the Lord, and departed not from him, but kept his commandements, which the Lord had commanded Moses.
7 ヱホバ彼とともに在したれば彼はその往ところにて凡て利達を得たり彼はアッスリヤの王に叛きてこれに事へざりき
So the Lord was with him, and he prospered in all thinges, which he tooke in hande: also he rebelled against the King of Asshur, and serued him not.
8 彼ペリシテ人を撃敗りてガザにいたりその境に達し看守臺より城にまで及べり
He smote the Philistims vnto Azzah, and the coastes thereof, from the watch towre vnto the defensed citie.
9 ヒゼキヤ王の四年すなはちイスラエルの王エラの子ホセアの七年にアッスリヤの王シヤルマネセル、サマリヤに攻のぼりてこれを圍みけるが
And in the fourth yere of King Hezekiah, (which was the seuenth yeere of Hoshea sonne of Elah King of Israel) Shalmaneser King of Asshur came vp against Samaria, and besieged it.
10 三年の後つひに之を取りサマリヤの取れしはヒゼキヤの六年にしてイスラエルの王ホセアの九年にあたる
And after three yeeres they tooke it, euen in the sixt yeere of Hezekiah: that is, the ninth yeere of Hoshea King of Israel was Samaria taken.
11 アッスリヤの王イスラエルをアッスリヤに擄へゆきてこれをハラとゴザン河の邊とメデアの邑々におきぬ
Then the King of Asshur did carry away Israel vnto Asshur, and put them in Halah and in Habor, by the riuer of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,
12 是は彼等その神ヱホバの言に遵はずその契約を破りヱホバの僕モーセが凡て命じたる事をやぶりこれを聽ことも行ふこともせざるによりてなり
Because they woulde not obey the voyce of the Lord their God, but transgressed his couenant: that is, all that Moses the seruant of the Lord had commanded, and would neyther obey nor doe them.
13 ヒゼキヤ王の十四年にアッスリヤの王セナケリブ攻のぼりてユダの諸の堅き邑を取ければ
Moreouer, in the fourteenth yeere of King Hezekiah, Saneherib King of Asshur came vp against all the strong cities of Iudah, and tooke them.
14 ユダの王ヒゼキヤ人をラキシにつかはしてアッスリヤの王にいたらしめて言ふ我過てり我を離れて歸りたまへ汝が我に蒙らしむる者は我これを爲べしとアッスリヤの王すなはち銀三百タラント金三十タラントをユダの王ヒゼキヤに課したり
Then Hezekiah King of Iudah sent vnto the King of Asshur to Lachish, saying, I haue offended: depart from me, and what thou layest vpon me, I wil beare it. And the King of Asshur appoynted vnto Hezekiah King of Iudah three hudreth talents of siluer, and thirty talets of golde.
15 是においてヒゼキヤ、ヱホバの家と王の家の庫とにあるところの銀をことごとく彼に與へたり
Therefore Hezekiah gaue all the siluer that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the Kings house.
16 此時ユダの王ヒゼキヤまた己が金を著たりしヱホバの宮の戸および柱を剥てこれをアッスリヤの王に與へたり
At the same season did Hezekiah pul off the plates of the doores of the Temple of the Lord, and the pillars (which the sayd Hezekiah King of Iudah had couered ouer) and gaue them to the King of Asshur.
17 アッスリヤの王またタルタン、ラブサリスおよびラブシヤケをしてラキシより大軍をひきゐてエルサレムにむかひてヒゼキヤ王の所にいたらしめたればすなはち上りてエルサレムにきたれり彼等則ち上り來り漂布場の大路に沿るよの池塘の水道の邊にいたりて立り
And the King of Asshur sent Tartan, and Rab-saris, and Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a great hoste against Ierusalem. And they went vp, and came to Ierusalem, and when they were come vp, they stood by the conduite of the vpper poole, which is by the path of the fullers fielde,
18 而して彼等王を呼たればヒルキヤの子なる宮内卿エリアキム書記官セブナおよびアサフの子なる史官ヨア出きたりて彼等に詣りけるに
And called to the King. Then came out to them Eliakim the sonne of Hilkiah, which was steward of the house, and Shebnah the chanceller, and Ioah the sonne of Asaph the recorder.
19 ラブシヤケこれに言けるは汝等ヒゼキヤに言べし大王アッスリヤの王かく言たまふ此汝が賴むところの者は何ぞや
And Rabshakeh sayde vnto them, Tell ye Hezekiah, I pray you, Thus saith the great King, euen the great King of Asshur, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
20 汝戰爭をなすの謀計と勇力とを言も只これ口の先の言語たるのみ誰を恃みて我に叛くことをせしや
Thou thinkest, Surely I haue eloquence, but counsell and strength are for the warre. On whom then doest thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
21 視よ汝は折かかれる葦の杖なるエジプトを賴む其は人の其に倚るあればすなはちその手を刺とほすなりエジプトの王パロは凡てこれを賴む者に斯あるなり
Lo, thou trustest now in this broken staffe of reede, to wit, on Egypt, on which if a man leane, it will goe into his hand, and pearce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt vnto all that trust on him.
22 汝等あるひは我はわれらの神ヱホバを賴むと我に言ん彼はヒゼキヤがその崇邱と祭壇とを除きたる者にあらずやまた彼はユダとエルサレムに告て汝等はエルサレムに於てこの壇の前に祷拝をなすべしと言しにあらずや
But if ye say vnto me, We trust in the Lord our God, is not that he whose hie places, and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath sayd to Iudah and Ierusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Ierusalem?
23 然ば請ふわが主君アッスリヤの王に約をなせ汝もし人を乗しむることを得ば我馬二千匹を汝にあたへん
Now therefore giue hostages to my lord the King of Asshur, and I will giue thee two thousand horses, if thou be able to set riders vpon them.
24 汝いかにしてか吾主君の諸臣の中の最も微き一將だにも退くることを得ん汝なんぞエジプトを賴みて兵車と騎兵をこれに仰がんとするや
For how canst thou despise any captaine of the least of my masters seruants, and put thy trust on Egypt for charets and horsemen?
25 また我とても今ヱホバの旨によらずして比處を滅しに上れるならんやヱホバ我に此處に攻のぼりてこれを滅せと言たり
Am I now come vp without the Lord to this place, to destroy it? the Lord sayd to me, Goe vp against this land, and destroy it.
26 時にヒルキヤの子エリアキムおよびセブナとヨア、ラダシヤケにいひけるは請ふスリアの語をもて僕等に語りたまへ我儕これを識なり石垣の上にをる民の聞るところにてユダヤ語をもて我儕に言談たまふなかれ
Then Eliakim the sonne of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Ioah said vnto Rabshakeh, Speake I pray thee, to thy seruants in the Aramites language, for we vnderstand it, and talke not with vs in the Iewes tongue, in the audience of the people that are on the wall.
27 ラブシヤケかれらに言ふわが君唯我を汝の主と汝とにつかはして此言をのべしめたまふならんや亦石垣の上に坐する人々にも我を遣して彼等をして汝等とともに自己の便溺を食ひ且飮にいたらしめんとしたまふにあらずやと
But Rabshakeh saide vnto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speake these words, and not to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eate their owne doung, and drinke their owne pisse with you?
28 而してラブシヤケ起あがりユダヤ語をもて大聲に呼はり言をいだして曰けるは汝等大王アッスリヤの王の言を聽け
So Rabshakeh stoode and cryed with a loude voyce in the Iewes language, and spake, saying, Heare the wordes of the great King, of the king of Asshur.
29 王かく言たまふ汝等ヒゼキヤに欺かるるなかれ彼は汝等をわが手より救ひいだすことをえざるなり
Thus sayth the King, Let not Hezekiah deceiue you: for he shall not be able to deliuer you out of mine hand.
30 ヒゼキヤがヱホバかならず我らを救ひたまはん此邑はアッスリヤの王の手に陷らじと言て汝らにヱホバを賴ましめんとするとも
Neither let Hezekiah make you to trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliuer vs, and this citie shall not be giuen ouer into the hand of the king of Asshur.
31 汝等ヒゼキヤの言を聽なかれアッスリヤの王かく言たまふ汝等約をなして我に降れ而して各人おのれの葡萄の樹の果を食ひ各人おのれの無花果樹の果をくらひ各人おのれの井水を飮めよ
Hearken not vnto Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Asshur, Make appointment with me, and come out to me, that euery man may eate of his owne vine, and euery man of his owne figge tree, and drinke euery man of the water of his owne well,
32 我來りて汝等を一の國に携ゆかん其は汝儕の國のごとき國穀と酒のある地パンと葡萄園のある地油の出る橄欖と蜜とのある地なり汝等は生ることを得ん死ることあらじヒゼキヤ、ヱホバ我儕を救ひたまはんと言て汝らを勸るともこれを聽なかれ
Till I come, and bring you to a land like your owne land, euen a land of wheate and wine, a land of bread and vineyardes, a lande of oliues oyle, and hony, that ye may liue and not die: and obey not Hezekiah, for he deceiueth you, saying, The Lord will deliuer vs.
33 國々の神の中執かその國をアッスリヤの王の手より救ひたりしや
Hath any of the gods of the nations deliuered his lande out of the hand of the King of Asshur?
34 ハマテおよびアルパデの神々は何處にあるセパルワイム、ヘナおよびアワの神々は何處にあるやサマリヤをわが手より救ひ出せし神々あるや
Where is the god of Hamah, and of Arpad? where is the god of Sepharuaim, Hena and Iuah? how haue they deliuered Samaria out of mine hand?
35 國々の神の中にその國をわが手より救ひいだせし者ありしや然ばヱホバいかでかエルサレムをわが手より救ひいだすことを得んと
Who are they among all the gods of the nations, that haue deliuered their lande out of mine hand, that the Lord should deliuer Ierusalem out of mine hand?
36 然ども民は默して一言もこれに應へざりき其は王命じてこれに應ふるなかれと言おきたればなり
But the people helde their peace, and answered not him a worde: for the Kings commandement was, saying, Answere ye him not.
37 かくてヒルキヤの子なる宮内卿エリアキム書記官セブナおよびアサの子なる史官ヨアその衣をさきてヒゼキヤの許にいたりラブシヤケの言をこれに告たり
Then Eliakim, the sonne of Hilkiah which was steward of the house, and Shebnah the chanceller, and Ioah the sonne of Asaph the recorder came to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and tolde him the wordes of Rabshakeh.
