列王記Ⅱ 19
1 ヒゼキヤ王これを聞てその衣を裂き麻布を身にまとひてヱホバの家に入り
And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard [it], that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.
2 宮内卿エリアキムと書記官セブナと祭司の中の長老等とに麻布を衣せてこれをアモツの子預言者イザヤに遣せり
And he sent Eliakim, who [was] over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
3 彼等イザヤに言けるはヒゼキヤかく言ふ今日は艱難の日懲罰の日打棄らるる日なり嬰孩すでに產門にいたりて之を產いだす力なき也
And they said to him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day [is] a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy: for the children have come to the birth, and [there is] not strength to bring forth.
4 ラブシヤケその主君なるアッスリヤの王に差遣れて來り活る神を謗る汝の神ヱホバあるひは彼の言を聞たまはん而して汝の神ヱホバその聞る言語を責罰たまふこともあらん然ば汝この遺る者の爲に祈祷をたてまつれと
It may be the LORD thy God will hear all the words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God; and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up [thy] prayer for the remnant that are left.
5 ヒゼキヤ王の僕等すなはちイザヤの許にいたりければ
So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 イザヤかれらに言けるは汝等の主君にかく言べしヱホバかく言たまふアッスリヤの王の臣僕等が我を謗るところの言を汝聞て懼るるなかれ
And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
7 我かれの氣をうつして風聲を聞て己の國にかへるにいたらしめん我また彼をして自己の國に於て劍に斃れしむべしと
Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumor, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
8 偖またラブシヤケは歸りゆきてアッスリヤの王がリブナに戰爭をなしをるとこるに至れり其は彼そのラキシを離れしを聞たればなり
So Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
9 茲にアッスリヤの王はエテオピアの王テルハカ汝に攻きたると言ふを聞てまた使者をヒゼキヤにつかはして言しむ
And when he heard it said of Tirhakah king of Cush, Behold, he hath come out to fight against thee: he sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying,
10 汝等ユダの王ヒゼキヤに告て言べし汝エルサレムはアッスリヤの王の手に陷らじと言て汝が賴むところの神に欺かるるなかれ
Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
11 汝はアッスリヤの王等が萬の國々になしたるところの事を知る即ちこれを滅しつくせしなり然ば汝いかで救らんや
Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered?
12 吾父等はゴザン、ハラン、レゼフおよびテラサルのエデンの人々等を滅ぼせしがその國々の神これを救ひたりしや
Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed; [as] Gozan and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden who [were] in Thelasar?
13 ハマテの王アルバデの王セバルワイムの邑およびヘナとアワの王等は何處にあるや
Where [is] the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivah?
14 ヒゼキヤ使者の手より書を受てこれを讀みヱホバの家にのぼりゆきてヱホバの前にこれを展開げ
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
15 而してヒゼキヤ、ヱホバの前に祈りて言けるはケルビムの間にいますイスラエルの神ヱホバよ世の國々の中において只汝のみ神にいます也汝は天地を造りたまひし者にいます
And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, who dwellest [between] the cherubim, thou art the God, [even] thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.
16 ヱホバよ耳を傾けて聞たまへヱホバよ目を開きて見たまへセナケリブが活る神を謗りにおくれる言語を聞たまへ
LORD, bow down thy ear, and hear: open, LORD, thy eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent him to reproach the living God.
17 ヱホバよ誠にアッスリヤの王等は諸の民とその國々を滅し
Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands,
18 又その神々を火になげいれたり其等は神にあらず人の手の作れる者にして木石たればこれを滅せしなり
And have cast their gods into the fire: for they [were] no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.
19 今われらの神ヱホバよ願くは我らをかれの手より拯ひいだしたまへ然ば世の國々皆汝ヱホバのみ神にいますことを知にいたらん
Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech thee, save thou us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou [art] the LORD God, [even] thou only.
20 茲にアモツの子イザヤ、ヒゼキヤに言つかはしけるはイスラエルの神ヱホバかく言たまふ汝がセナケリブの事につきて我に祈るところの事は我これを聽り
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, [That] which thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.
21 ヱホバが彼の事につきて言ふところの言語は是のごとし云く處女なる女子シオンは汝を藐視じ汝を嘲る女子エルサレムは汝にむかひて頭を搖る
This [is] the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin the daughter of Zion hath despised thee, [and] laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
22 汝誰を謗りかつ罵詈しや汝誰にむかひて聲をあげしや汝はイスラエルの聖者にむかひて汝の目を高く擧たるなり
Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted [thy] voice, and lifted up thy eyes on high: [even] against the Holy [One] of Israel.
23 汝使者をもて主を謗て言ふ我夥多き兵車をひきゐて山々の嶺にのぼりレバノンの奧にいたり長高き香柏と美しき松樹を斫たふす我その境の休息所にいたりその園の林にいたる
By thy messengers thou hast reproached the LORD, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots I am come up to the hight of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down its tall cedar trees, [and] its choice fir trees: and I will enter into the lodgings of his borders, [and into] the forest of his Carmel.
24 我は外國の地をほりて水を飮む我は足の跖をもてエジプトの河々をことごとくふみ涸すなり
I have digged and drank strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places.
25 汝聞ずや昔われ之を作し古時よりわれ之を定めたり今われ之をおこなふ即ち堅き邑々は汝のために坵墟となるなり
Hast thou not heard long ago [how] I have done it, [and] of ancient times that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldst be to lay waste fortified cities [in] ruinous heaps.
26 是をもてそれらの中にすむ民は力弱かり懼れかつ驚くなり彼等は野の草のごとく靑菜のごとく屋蓋の草のごとく枯る苗のごとし
Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were [as] the grass of the field, and [as] the green herb, [as] the grass on the house-tops, and [as corn] blasted before it is grown up.
27 汝の止ると汝の出ると汝の入と汝の我にむかひて怒くるふとは我の知ところなり
But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.
28 汝の怒くるふ事と汝の傲慢ところの事上りてわが耳にいりたれば我圏を汝の鼻につけ轡を汝の唇にほどこして汝を元來し道へひきかへすべし
Because thy rage against me and thy tumult is come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
29 是は汝にあたふる徴なり即ち一年は穭を食ひ第二年には又その穭を食ふあらん第三年には汝ら稼ことをし穡ことをし又葡萄園をつくりてその果を食ふべし
And this [shall be] a sign to thee, Ye shall eat this year such things as grow of themselves, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits of it.
30 ユダの家の逃れて遺れる者は復根を下に張り實を上に結ばん
And the remnant that hath escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
31 即ち殘餘者エルサレムより出で逃避たる者シオン山より出きたらんヱホバの熱心これを爲べし
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape from mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD [of hosts] shall do this.
32 故にヱホバ、アッスリヤの王の事をかく言たまふ彼は此邑に入じ亦これに矢を發つことあらず楯を之にむかひて竪ることあらず亦壘をきづきてこれを攻ることあらじ
Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it.
33 彼はその來し路より歸らん此邑にいることあらじヱホバこれを言ふ
By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.
34 我わが身のため又わが僕ダビデのためにこの邑を守りてこれを救ふべし
For I will defend this city, to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
35 その夜ヱホバの使者いでてアッスリヤ人の陣營の者十八萬五千人を撃ころせり朝早く起いでて見るに皆死て屍となりをる
And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they [were] all dead corpses.
36 アッスリヤの王セナケリブすなはち起いで歸りゆきてニネベに居しが
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
37 その神ニスロクの家にありて禮拝をなしをる時にその子アデランメレクとシヤレゼル劍をもてこれを殺せり而して彼等はアララテの池に逃ゆけり是においてその子エサルハドンこれに代りて王となれり
And it came to pass, as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.
