列王記Ⅱ 22
1 ヨシアは八歳にして王となりヱルサレムにおいて三十一年世を治めたり其母はボヅカテのアダヤの女にして名をヱデダと曰ふ
Iosiah was eight yeere olde when he beganne to reigne, and hee reigned one and thirtie yeere in Ierusalem. His mothers name also was Iedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozcath.
2 ヨシアはヱホバの目に適ふ事をなしその父ダビデの道にあゆみて右にも左にも轉らざりき
And hee did vprightly in the sight of the Lord, and walked in all the wayes of Dauid his father, and bowed neither to the right hand, nor to the left.
3 ヨシア王の十八年に王メシユラムの子アザリヤの子なる書記官シヤパンをヱホバの家に遣せり即ちこれに言けらく
And in the eighteenth yeere of King Iosiah, the King sent Shaphan the sonne of Azaliah the sonne of Meshullam the chanceller to ye house of the Lord, saying,
4 汝祭司の長ヒルキヤの許にのぼり行てヱホバの家にいりし銀すなはち門守が民よりあつめし者を彼に計算しめ
Goe vp to Hilkiah the high Priest, that hee may summe the siluer which is brought into the house of the Lord, which the keepers of the doore haue gathered of the people.
5 工事を司どるヱホバの家の監督者の手にこれを付さしめ而してまた彼らをしてヱホの家にありて工事をなすところの者にこれを付さしめ殿の破壞を修理はしめよ
And let them deliuer it into the hande of them that doe the worke, and haue the ouersight of the house of the Lord: let them giue it to them that worke in the house of the Lord, to repaire the decayed places of the house:
6 即ち工匠と建築者と石工にこれを付さしめ又これをもて殿を修理ふ材木と斫石を買しむべし
To wit, vnto the artificers and carpenters and masons, and to bye timber, and hewed stone to repaire the house.
7 但し彼らは誠實に事をなせば彼らの手にわたすところの銀の計算をかれらとするには及ばざるなり
Howebeit, let no rekoning bee made with them of the money, that is deliuered into their hand: for they deale faithfully.
8 時に祭司の長ヒルキヤ書記官シヤパンに言けるは我ヱホバの家において律法の書を見いだせりとヒルキヤすなはちその書をシヤパンにわたしたれば彼これを讀り
And Hilkiah the high Priest sayde vnto Shaphan the chanceller, I haue found the booke of the Lawe in the house of the Lord: and Hilkiah gaue the booke to Shaphan, and hee reade it.
9 かくて書記官シヤパン王の許にいたり王に返事まうして言ふ僕等殿にありし金を打あけてこれを工事を司どるヱホバの家の監督者の手に付せりと
So Shaphan the chanceller came to ye King, and brought him word againe, and saide, Thy seruants haue gathered the money, that was found in the house, and haue deliuered it vnto the hands of them that doe the worke, and haue the ouersight of the house of the Lord.
10 書記官シヤパンまた王につげて祭司ヒルキヤ我に一書をわたせりと言ひシヤパン其を王の前に讀けるに
Also Shaphan the chanceller shewed the King saying, Hilkiah the Priest hath deliuered me a booke. And Shaphan read it before the King.
11 王その律法の書の言を聞やその衣を裂り
And when the King had heard the wordes of the booke of the Law, he rent his clothes.
12 而して王祭司ヒルキヤとシヤパンの子アヒカムとミカヤの子アクボルと書記官シヤパンと王の内臣アサヤとに命じて言ふ
Therefore the King commanded Hilkiah the Priest, and Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan, and Achbor the sonne of Michaiah, and Shaphan the chanceller, and Asahiah the Kings seruant, saying,
13 汝等往てこの見當し書の言につきて我のため民のためユダ全國のためにヱホバに問へ其は我儕の先祖等はこの書の言に聽したがひてその凡て我儕のために記されたるところを行ふことをせざりしに因てヱホバの我儕にむかひて怒を發したまふこと甚だしかるべければなり
Go ye and inquire of the Lord for me, and for the people, and for all Iudah concerning the wordes of this booke that is founde: for great is the wrath of the Lord that is kindled against vs, because our fathers haue not obeyed the wordes of this booke, to doe according vnto all that which is written therein for vs.
14 是において祭司ヒルキヤ、アヒカム、アクボル、シヤパンおよびアサヤ等シヤルムの妻なる女預言者ホルダの許にいたれりシヤルムはハルハスの子なるテクワの子にして衣裳の室を守る者なり時にホルダはヱルサレムの下邑に住をる彼等すなはちホルダに物語せしかば
So Hilkiah the Priest and Ahikam, and Achbor and Shaphan, and Asahiah went vnto Huldah the Prophetesse the wife of Shallum, ye sonne of Tikuah, the sonne of Harhas keeper of the wardrobe: (and she dwelt in Ierusalem in the colledge) and they communed with her.
15 ホルダかれらに言けるはイスラエルの神ヱホバかく言たまふ汝等を我につかはせる人に告よ
And shee answered them, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Tel the man that sent you to mee,
16 ヱホバかく言ふ我ユダの王が讀たるかの書の一切の言にしたがひて災害をこの處と此にすめる民に降さんとす
Thus sayth the Lord, Behold, I wil bring euill vpon this place, and on the inhabitants thereof, euen al the words of the booke which ye King of Iudah hath read,
17 彼等はわれを棄て他の神に香を焚きその手に作れる諸の物をもて我を怒らするなり是故に我この處にむかひて怒の火を發す是は滅ざるべし
Because they haue forsaken mee, and haue burnt incense vnto other gods, to anger me with all ye works of their hands: my wrath also shalbe kindled against this place and shall not be queched:
18 但し汝等をつかはして我に問しむるユダの王には汝等かく言べし汝が聞る言につきてイスラエルの神ヱホバかく言たまふ
But to the King of Iudah, who sent you to inquire of the Lord, so shall ye say vnto him, Thus sayeth the Lord God of Israel, The wordes that thou hast heard, shall come to passe.
19 汝はわが此處と此にすめる民にむかひて是は荒地となり呪詛とならんと言しを聞たる時に心柔にしてヱホバの前に身を卑し衣を裂て吾前に泣たれば我もまた聽ことをなすなりヱホバこれを言ふ
But because thine heart did melt, and thou hast humbled thy selfe before the Lord, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants of the same, to wit, that it should be destroyed and accursed, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me, I haue also heard it, saith the Lord.
20 然ば視よ我なんぢを汝の先祖等に歸せしめん汝は安全に墓に歸することをうべし汝はわが此處にくだす諸の災害を目に見ることあらじと彼等すなはち王に返事まうしぬ
Beholde therefore, I wil gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be put in thy graue in peace, and thine eyes shall not see all the euil, which I will bring vpon this place. Thus they brought the King worde againe.
