列王記Ⅱ 20

1 當時ヒゼキヤ病て死なんとせしことありアモツの子預言者イザヤ彼の許にいたりて之にいひけるはヱホバかく言たまふ汝家の人に遺命をなせ汝は死ん生ることを得じと

In those days was Hezekiah sick to death. Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, "Thus says the LORD, 'Set your house in order; for you shall die, and not live.'"

2 是においてヒゼキヤその面を壁にむけてヱホバに祈り

Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the LORD, saying,

3 嗚呼ヱホバよ願くは我が眞實と一心をもて汝の前にあゆみ汝の目に適ふことを行ひしを記憶たまへと言て痛く泣り

"Remember now, LORD, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight." Hezekiah wept bitterly.

4 かくてイザヤ未だ中の邑を出はなれざる間にヱホバの言これに臨みて言ふ

It happened, before Isaiah had gone out of the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

5 汝還りてわが民の君ヒゼキヤに告よ汝の父ダビデの神ヱホバかく言ふ我汝の祈祷を聽り汝の涙を看たり然ば汝を愈すべし第三日には汝ヱホバの家に入ん

"Turn back, and tell Hezekiah the prince of my people, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father, "I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Look, I will heal you. On the third day, you shall go up to the house of the LORD.

6 我汝の齢を十五年増べし我汝とこの邑とをアッスリヤの王の手より救ひ我名のため又わが僕ダビデのためにこの邑を守らんと

I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake."'"

7 是に於てイザヤ乾無花果の団塊一箇を持きたれと言ければすなはち之を持きたりてその腫物に貼たればヒゼキヤ愈ぬ

Isaiah said, "Take a cake of figs." They took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.

8 ヒゼキヤ、イザヤに言けるはヱホバが我を愈したまふ事と第三日に我がヱホバの家にのぼりゆく事とにつきては何の徴あるや

Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of the LORD the third day?"

9 イザヤ言けるはヱホバがその言しところを爲たまはん事につきては汝ヱホバよりこの徴を得ん日影進めること十度なり若日影十度退かば如何

Isaiah said, "This shall be the sign to you from the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or go back ten steps?"

10 ヒゼキヤ答へけるは日影の十度進むは易き事なり然せざれ日影を十度しりぞかしめよ

Hezekiah answered, "It is a light thing for the shadow to go forward ten steps. Nay, but let the shadow return backward ten steps."

11 是において預言者イザヤ、ヱホバに龥はりければアハスの日晷の上に進みし日影を十度しりぞかしめたまへり

Isaiah the prophet cried to the LORD; and he brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz.

12 その頃バラダンの子なるバビロンの王メロダクバラダン書および禮物をヒゼキヤにおくれり是はヒゼキヤの疾をるを聞たればなり

At that time Marduk-Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick, and had recovered.

13 ヒゼキヤこれがために喜びその寶物の庫金銀香物貴き膏および武器庫ならびにその府庫にあるところの一切の物を之に見せたりその家にある物もその國の中にある物も何一箇としてヒゼキヤが彼等に見せざる者はなかりき

Hezekiah was delighted at this, and showed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah did not show them.

14 茲に預言者イザヤ、ヒゼキヤ王のもとに來りてこれに言けるは夫の人々は何を言しや何處より來りしやヒゼキヤ言けるは彼等は遠き國より即ちバビロンより來れり

Then Isaiah the prophet came to king Hezekiah, and said to him, "What did these men say? From where did they come to you?" Hezekiah said, "They have come from a far country, even from Babylon."

15 イザヤ言ふ彼等は汝の家にて何を見しやヒゼキヤ答へて云ふ吾家にある物は皆かれら之を見たり我庫の中には我がかれに見せざる者なきなり

He said, "What have they seen in your house?" Hezekiah answered, "They have seen all that is in my house. There is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them."

16 イザヤすなはちヒゼキヤに言けるは汝ヱホバの言を聞け

Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Hear the word of the LORD.

17 ヱホバ言たまふ視よ日いたる凡て汝の家にある物および汝の先祖等が今日までに積蓄へたる物はバビロンに携ゆかれん遺る者なかるべし

'Look, the days come, that all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have laid up in store to this day, shall be carried to Babylon. Nothing shall be left,' says the LORD.

18 汝の身より出る汝の生んところの子等の中を彼等携へ去ん其等はバビロンの王の殿において官吏となるべし

'Of your sons who shall issue from you, whom you shall father, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.'"

19 ヒゼキヤ、イザヤに言ふ汝が語れるヱホバの言は善し又いふ若わが世にある間に大平と眞實とあらば善にあらずや

Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "The word of the LORD which you have spoken is good." He said moreover, "Isn't it so, if peace and truth shall be in my days?"

20 ヒゼキヤのその餘の行爲その能およびその池塘と水道を作りて水を邑にひきし事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 acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made the pool, and the conduit, and brought water into the city, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

21 ヒゼキヤその先祖等とともに寝りてその子マナセこれに代りて王となれり

Hezekiah slept with his fathers; and Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
