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, unto death, —and Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, came unto him, and said unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh Set in order thy house, for, about to die, thou, art, and shalt not recover.
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 unto the wall, —and prayed unto Yahweh, 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
I beseech thee, O Yahweh, remember, I pray thee, how I have walked before thee, in truth, and with a whole heart, and, that which is good in thine eyes, have I done! And Hezekiah wept aloud.
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
And it came to pass that Isaiah, had not gone out into the middle court, when the word of Yahweh came unto 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
Return, and thou shalt say unto Hezekiah the leader of my people—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears, —Behold me! about to heal thee, On the third day, shalt thou go up unto the house of Yahweh;
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
And I will add unto thy days, fifteen years, and, out of the hand of the king of Assyria, will I deliver thee, and this city, —and will throw a covering over this city, for my own sake, and for the sake of David my servant.
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
And Isaiah said—Take ye a cake of figs. So they took and laid it upon 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
Now Hezekiah had said unto Isaiah, What sign is there, that Yahweh will heal me, —and that I shall go up on the third day, to the house of Yahweh?
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
And Isaiah said, —This unto thee, is the sign from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do the thing which he hath spoken, The shadow hath gone forward ten steps, shall it return 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
And Hezekiah said—It is, a light thing, for the shadow, to decline ten steps, —Nay, but let the shadow go back 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
And Isaiah the prophet cried unto Yahweh, and he caused the shadow on the steps by which it had gone down on the steps of Ahaz to go back, ten steps.
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, Berodach-baladan son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present, unto Hezekiah, —for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.
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
And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all his house of precious things—the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and his armoury, and all that was found among his treasures, —there was, nothing, that Hezekiah shewed them not, in his house or in all his dominion.
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 came Isaiah the prophet unto King Hezekiah, —and said unto him—What said these men, and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, From a land far off, came they—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
And he said—What have they seen in thy house? Then said Hezekiah—All that is in my house, have they seen, there was, nothing, that I shewed them not, among my treasures.
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
Then said Isaiah unto Hezekiah, —Hear thou the word of Yahweh:
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
Lo! days are coming, when all that is in thine house, and that thy fathers have treasured up, unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon, —nothing shall be left, saith Yahweh;
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
and, of thy sons who shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, shall they take away, —and they shall become 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
And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah—Good, is the word of Yahweh, which thou hast spoken. And he said—Is it not, that, peace and stability, there 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 story of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a pool and an aqueduct, and brought water into the city, are, they, not 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
So Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and, Manasseh his son, reigned, in his stead.
