列王記Ⅱ 21

1 マナセ十二歳にして王となり五十五年の間ヱルサレムにて世を治めたりその母の名はヘフジバといふ

Manasseh [is] a son of twelve years in his reigning, and he has reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hephzi-Bah;

2 マナセはヱホバの目の前に惡をなしヱホバがイスラエルの子孫の前より逐はらひたまひし國々の人がなすところの憎むべき事に傚へり

and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, according to the abominations of the nations that YHWH dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel,

3 彼はその父ヒゼキヤが毀たる崇邱を改め築き又イスラエルの王アハブのなせしごとくバアルのために祭壇を築きアシラ像を作り天の衆群を拝みてこれに事へ

and he turns and builds the high places that his father Hezekiah destroyed, and raises altars for Ba‘al, and makes an Asherah, as Ahab king of Israel did, and bows himself to all the host of the heavens, and serves them.

4 またヱホバの家の中に數箇の祭壇を築けり是はヱホバがこれをさして我わが名をヱルサレムにおかんと言たまひし家なり

And he has built altars in the house of YHWH, of which YHWH said, “In Jerusalem I put My Name.”

5 彼ヱホバの家の二の庭に祭壇を築き

And he builds altars to all the host of the heavens in the two courts of the house of YHWH;

6 またその子に火の中を通らしめ卜占をなし魔術をおこなひ口寄者と卜筮師を取もちひヱホバの目の前に衆多の惡を爲てその震怒を惹おこせり

and he has caused his son to pass through fire, and observed clouds, and used enchantment, and dealt with a familiar spirit and wizards; he has multiplied to do evil in the eyes of YHWH—to provoke to anger.

7 彼はその作りしアシラの銅像を殿にたてたりヱホバこの殿につきてダビデとその子ソロモンに言たまひしことあり云く我この家と我がイスラエルの諸の支派の中より選みたるヱルサレムとに吾名を永久におかん

And he sets the carved image of the Asherah that he made in the house of which YHWH said to David and to his son Solomon, “In this house, and in Jerusalem, that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I put My Name for all time;

8 彼等もし我が凡てこれに命ぜし事わが僕モーセがこれに命ぜし一切の律法を謹みて行はば我これが足をしてわがその先祖等に與へし地より重てさまよひ出ることなからしむべしと

and I do not add to cause the foot of Israel to move from the ground that I gave to their fathers, only, if they observe to do according to all that I commanded them, and to all the Law that My servant Moses commanded them.”

9 然るに彼等は聽ことをせざりきマナセが人々を誘ひて惡をなせしことはヱホバがイスラエルの子孫の前に滅したまひし國々の人よりも甚だしかりき

And they have not listened, and Manasseh causes them to err, to do evil above the nations that YHWH destroyed from the presence of the sons of Israel.

10 是においてヱホバその僕なる預言者等をもて語て言給はく

And YHWH speaks by the hand of his servants the prophets, saying,

11 ユダの王マナセこれらの憎むべき事を行ひその前にありしアモリ人の凡て爲しところにも踰たる惡をなし亦ユダをしてその偶像をもて罪を犯させたれば

“Because that Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations—he has done evil above all that the Amorites have done who [are] before him, and also causes Judah to sin by his idols—

12 イスラエルの神ヱホバかく言ふ視よ我ヱルサレムとユダに災害をくだす是を聞く者はその耳ふたつながら鳴ん

therefore, thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing in calamity on Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, his two ears tingle.

13 我サマリヤを量りし繩とアハブの家にもちひし準縄をヱルサレムにほどこし人が皿を拭ひこれを拭ひて反覆がごとくにヱルサレムを拭ひさらん

And I have stretched out the line of Samaria over Jerusalem, and the plummet of the house of Ahab, and wiped Jerusalem as one wipes the dish—he has wiped, and has turned [it] on its face.

14 我わが產業の民の殘餘を棄てこれをその敵の手に付さん彼等はその諸の敵の擄掠にあひ掠奪にあふべし

And I have left the remnant of My inheritance, and given them into the hand of their enemies, and they have been for a prey and for a spoil to all their enemies,

15 是は彼等その先祖等がエジプトより出し日より今日にいたるまで吾目の前に惡をおこなひて我を怒らするが故なり

because that they have done evil in My eyes, and are provoking Me to anger from the day that their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day.”

16 マナセはヱホバの目の前に惡をおこなひてユダに罪を犯させたる上にまた無辜者の血を多く流してヱルサレムのこの極よりかの極にまで盈せり

And also, Manasseh has shed very much innocent blood, until he has filled Jerusalem mouth to mouth, apart from his sin that he has caused Judah to sin, to do evil in the eyes of YHWH.

17 マナセのその餘の行爲とその凡て爲たる事およびその犯したる罪はユダの王の歴代志の書にしるさるるにあらすや

And the rest of the matters of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

18 マナセその先祖等とともに寝りてその家の園すなはちウザの園に葬られその子アモンこれに代りて王となれり

And Manasseh lies with his fathers, and is buried in the garden of his house, in the garden of Uzza, and his son Amon reigns in his stead.

19 アモンは王となれる時二十二歳にしてヱルサレムにおいて二年世を治めたりその母はヨテバのハルツの女にしてその名をメシユレメテと云ふ

Amon [is] a son of twenty-two years in his reigning, and he has reigned two years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz of Jotbah,

20 アモンはその父マナセのなせしごとくヱホバの目の前に惡をなせり

and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, as his father Manasseh did,

21 すなはち彼は凡てその父のあゆみし道にあゆみその父の事へし偶像に事へてこれを拝み

and walks in all the way that his father walked in, and serves the idols that his father served, and bows himself to them,

22 その先祖等の神ヱホバを棄てヱホバの道にあゆまざりき

and forsakes YHWH, God of his fathers, and has not walked in the way of YHWH.

23 茲にアモンの臣僕等黨をむすびて王をその家に弑したりしが

And the servants of Amon conspire against him, and put the king to death in his own house,

24 國の民そのアモン王に敵して黨をむすびし者をことごとく撃ころせり而して國の民アモンの子ヨシアを王となしてそれに代らしむ

and the people of the land strike all those conspiring against King Amon, and the people of the land cause his son Josiah to reign in his stead.

25 アモンのなしたるその餘の行爲はユダの王の歴代志の書にしるさるるにあらずや

And the rest of the matters of Amon that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

26 アモンはウザの園にてその墓に葬られその子ヨシアこれに代りて王となれり

And [one] buries him in his burying-place in the garden of Uzza, and his son Josiah reigns in his stead.
