列王記Ⅱ 23
1 是において王人をつかはしてユダとヱルサレムの長老をことごとく集め
And the king sends, and they gather all [the] elderly of Judah and Jerusalem to him,
2 而して王ヱホバの家にのぼれりユダの諸の人々ヱルサレムの一切の民および祭司預言者ならびに大小の民みな之にしたがふ王すなはちヱホバの家に見あたりし契約の書の言をことごとくかれらの耳に讀きかせ
and the king goes up to the house of YHWH, and every man of Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, from small to great, and he reads in their ears all the words of the Scroll of the Covenant that is found in the house of YHWH.
3 而して王高座の上に立てヱホバの前に契約をなしヱホバにしたがひて歩み心をつくし精神をつくしてその誡命と律法と法度を守り此書にしるされたる此契約の言をおこなはんと言り民みなその契約に加はりぬ
And the king stands by the pillar, and makes the covenant before YHWH, to walk after YHWH, and to keep His commands, and His testimonies, and His statutes, with all the heart, and with all the soul, to establish the words of this covenant that are written on this scroll, and all the people stand in the covenant.
4 かくして王祭司の長ヒルキヤとその下にたつところの祭司等および門守等に命じてヱホバの家よりしてバアルとアシラと天の衆群との爲に作りたる諸の器と執いださしめヱルサレムの外にてキデロンの野にこれを燒きその灰をベテルに持ゆかしめ
And the king commands Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out from the temple of YHWH all the vessels that are made for Ba‘al, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of the heavens, and he burns them at the outside of Jerusalem, in the fields of Kidron, and has carried their ashes to Beth-El.
5 又ユダの王等が立てダの邑々とヱルサレムの四圍なる崇邱に香をたかしめたる祭司等を廢しまたバアルと日月星宿と天の衆群とに香を焚く者等をも廢せり
And he has caused to cease the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah have appointed (and they make incense in high places, in cities of Judah and outskirts of Jerusalem), and those making incense to Ba‘al, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the twelve signs, and to all the host of the heavens.
6 彼またヱホバの家よりアシラ像をとりいだしヱルサレムの外に持ゆきてキデロン川にいたりキデロン川においてこれを燒きこれを打碎きて粉となしその粉を民の墓に散し
And he brings out the Asherah from the house of YHWH to the outside of Jerusalem, to the Brook of Kidron, and burns it at the Brook of Kidron, and beats it small to dust, and casts its dust on the grave of the sons of the people.
7 またヱホバの家の旁にある男娼の家を毀てり其處はまた婦人がアシラのために天幕を織ところなりき
And he breaks down the houses of the whoremongers that [are] in the house of YHWH, where the women are weaving houses for the Asherah.
8 彼またユダの邑々より祭司をことごとく召よせまた祭司が香をたきたる崇邱をばゲバよりベエルシバまでこれを汚しまた門にある崇邱を毀てり是等の崇邱は一は邑の宰ヨシユアの門の入口にあり一は邑の門にありて之に入る人の左にあたる
And he brings in all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiles the high places where the priests have made incense, from Geba to Beer-Sheba, and has broken down the high places of the gates that [are] at the opening of the Gate of Joshua, head of the city, that [is] on a man’s left hand at the gate of the city;
9 崇邱の祭司等はエルサレムにおいてヱホバの壇にのぼることをせざりき但し彼等はその兄弟の中にありて無酵パンを食へり
only, the priests of the high places do not come up to the altar of YHWH in Jerusalem, but they have eaten unleavened things in the midst of their brothers.
10 王また人がその子息息女に火の中を通らしめて之をモロクにささぐることなからんためにベンヒンノムの谷にあるトペテを汚し
And he has defiled Topheth that [is] in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, so that no man causes his son and his daughter to pass over through fire to Molech.
11 またユダの王等が日のためにささげてヱホバの家の門における馬をうつせりこの馬はパルリムにある侍從ナタンメレクの室にをりしなり彼また日の車を皆火に焚り
And he causes to cease the horses that the kings of Judah have given to the sun from the entering in of the house of YHWH, by the chamber of Nathan-Melech the eunuch, that [is] in the outskirts; and he has burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
12 またユダの王等がアハズの桜の屋背につくりたる祭壇とマナセがヱホバの家の兩の庭につくりたる祭壇とは王これを毀ちこれを其處より取くづしてその碎片をキデロン川になげ捨たり
And the altars that [are] on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, that the kings of Judah made, and the altars that Manasseh made in the two courts of the house of YHWH, the king has broken down, and removes from there, and has cast their dust into the Brook of Kidron.
13 またイスラエルの王ソロモンが昔シドン人の憎むべき者なるアシタロテとモアブ人の憎むべき者なるケモシとアンモンの子孫の憎むべき者なるモロクのためにヱルサレムの前において殲滅山の右に築きたる崇邱も王これを汚し
And the high places that [are] on the front of Jerusalem, that [are] on the right of the Mount of Corruption, that Solomon king of Israel had built to Ashtoreth, abomination of the Zidonians, and Chemosh, abomination of Moab, and to Milcom, abomination of the sons of Ammon, the king has defiled.
14 また諸の像をうち碎きアシラ像をきりたふし人の骨をもてその處々に充せり
And he has broken the standing-pillars in pieces, and cuts down the Asherim, and fills their place with bones of men;
15 またベテルにある壇かのイスラエルに罪を犯させたるネバテの子ヤラベアムが造りし崇邱すなはちその壇もその崇邱も彼これを毀ちその崇邱を焚てこれを粉にうち碎きかつアシラ像を焚り
and also the altar that [is] in Beth-El, the high place that Jeroboam son of Nebat made, by which he made Israel sin, both that altar and the high place he has broken down, and burns the high place—he has beat it small to dust, and has burned the Asherah.
16 茲にヨシア身をめぐらして山に墓のあるを見人をやりてその墓より骨をとりきたらしめ之をその壇の上に焚てそれを汚せり即ち神の人が宣たるヱホバの言のごとし昔神の人この言語を宣しことありしなり
And Josiah turns, and sees the graves that [are] there on the mountain, and sends and takes the bones out of the graves, and burns [them] on the altar, and defiles it, according to the word of YHWH that the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.
17 ヨシアまた其處に見ゆる碑は何なるやと言しに邑の人々これに告て其は汝がベテルの壇にむかひて爲るこの事等をユダより來りて宣たる神の人の墓なりと言ければ
And he says, “What [is] this sign that I see?” And the men of the city say to him, “The grave of the man of God who has come from Judah, and proclaims these things that you have done concerning the altar of Beth-El.”
18 すなはち其には手をつくるなかれ誰もその骨を移すなかれと言り是をもてその骨とサマリヤより來りし預言者の骨には手をつけざりき
And he says, “Leave him alone, let no man touch his bones”; and they let his bones escape with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.
19 またイスラエルの王等がサマリヤの邑々に造りてヱホバを怒せし崇邱の家も皆ヨシアこれを取のぞき凡てそのベテルになせしごとくに之に事をなせり
And also all the houses of the high places that [are] in the cities of Samaria, that the kings of Israel made to provoke to anger, Josiah has turned aside, and does to them according to all the deeds that he did in Beth-El.
20 彼また其處にある崇邱の祭司等を壇の上にころし人の骨を壇の上に焚てヱルサレムに歸りぬ
And he slays all the priests of the high places who [are] there by the altars, and burns the bones of man on them, and turns back to Jerusalem.
21 而して王一切の民に命じて言ふ汝らこの契約の書に記されたるごとくに汝らの神ヱホバに逾越の節を執行ふべしと
And the king commands the whole of the people, saying, “Make a Passover to your God YHWH, as it is written on this scroll of the covenant.”
22 士師のイスラエルを治めし日より已來もまたユダの王等とイスラエルの王等の代にも斯のごとき逾越の節を守りしことはなかりしが
Surely there has not been made like this Passover from the days of the ones judging who judged Israel, even all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Judah;
23 ヨシア王の十八年にいたりてヱルサレムにて斯逾越節をヱホバに守りしなり
but in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover has been made to YHWH in Jerusalem.
24 ヨシアまた祭司ヒルキヤがヱホバの家にて見いだせし書に記されたる律法の言を世におこなはんために口寄者と卜筮師とテラピムと偶像およびユダの地とヱルサレムに見ゆる諸の憎むべき者を取のぞけり
And also, those having familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah, and in Jerusalem, Josiah has put away, in order to establish the words of the Law that are written on the scroll that Hilkiah the priest has found in the house of YHWH.
25 ヨシアの如くに心を盡し精神を盡し力を盡してモーセの法に全くしたがひてヱホに歸向せし王はヨシアの先にはあらざりきまた彼の後にも彼のごとき者はなし
And like him there has not been before him a king who turned back to YHWH with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses, and after him there has none risen like him.
26 斯有しかどもヱホバはユダにむかひて怒を發したるその大いなる燃たつ震怒を息ることをしたまはざりき是はマナセ諸の憤らしき事をもてヱホバを怒らせしによるなり
Only, YHWH has not turned back from the fierceness of His great anger with which His anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh provoked him,
27 ヱホバすなはち言たまはく我イスラエルを移せし如くにユダをもわが目の前より拂ひ移し我が選みし此ヱルサレムの邑と吾名をそこに置んといひしこの殿とを棄べしと
and YHWH says, “I also turn Judah aside from my presence, as I turned Israel aside, and I have rejected this city that I have chosen—Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My Name is there.”
28 ヨシアのその餘の行爲とその凡て爲たる事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 Josiah and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
29 ヨシアの代にエジプトの王パロネコ、アッスリヤの王と戰はんとてユフラテ河をさして上り來しがヨシア王これを防がんとて進みゆきければ彼これに出あひてメギドンにこれを殺せり
In his days Pharaoh Necho king of Egypt has come up against the king of Asshur, by the Euphrates River, and King Josiah goes out to meet him, and [Pharaoh Necho] puts him to death in Megiddo when he sees him.
30 その僕等すなはちこれが死骸を車にのせてメギドンよりヱルサレムに持ゆきこれをその墓に葬れり國の民ここに於てヨシアの子ヱホアハズを取りこれに膏をそそぎて王となしてその父にかはらしめたり
And his servants cause him to ride dying from Megiddo, and bring him to Jerusalem, and bury him in his own grave, and the people of the land take Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and anoint him, and cause him to reign instead of his father.
31 ヱホアハズは王となれる時二十三歳にしてヱルサレムにて三月世を治めたりその母はリブナのエレミヤの女にして名をハムタルと云ふ
Jehoahaz [is] a son of twenty-three years in his reigning, and he has reigned three months in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah,
32 ヱホアハズはその先祖等が凡てなしたるごとくにヱホバの目の前に惡をなせしが
and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his fathers did,
33 パロネコ彼をハマテの地のリブラに繋ぎおきてヱルサレムにおいて王となりをることを得ざらしめ且銀百タラント金一タラントの罰金を國に課したり
and Pharaoh Necho binds him in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, from reigning in Jerusalem, and he puts a fine on the land—one hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
34 而してパロネコはヨシアの子エリアキムをしてその父ヨシアにかはりて王とならしめ彼の名をヱホヤキムと改めヱホアハズを曳て去ぬヱホアハズはエジプトにいたりて其處に死り
And Pharaoh Necho causes Eliakim son of Josiah to reign instead of his father Josiah, and turns his name to Jehoiakim, and he has taken Jehoahaz away, and he comes to Egypt, and dies there.
35 ヱホヤキムは金銀をパロにおくれり即ち彼國に課してパロの命のままに金を出さしめ國の民各人に割つけて金銀を征取りてこれをパロネコにおくれり
And Jehoiakim has given the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; only he valued the land to give the silver by the command of Pharaoh; from each, according to his valuation, he exacted the silver and the gold, from the people of the land, to give to Pharaoh Necho.
36 ヱホヤキムは二十五歳にして王となりヱルサレムにおいて十一年世を治めたりその母はルマのペダヤの女にして名をゼブタと云ふ
Jehoiakim [is] a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned eleven years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Zebudah daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah,
37 ヱホヤキムはその先祖等が凡てなしたるごとくにヱホバの目の前に惡をなせり
and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his fathers did.
