列王記Ⅱ 8

1 エリシヤ甞てその子を甦へらせて與へし婦に言しことあり曰く汝起て汝の家族とともに往き汝の寄寓んとおもふ處に寄寓れ其はヱホバ饑饉を呼くだしたまひたれば七年の間この地に臨むべければなりと

Now, Elisha, had spoken unto the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying—Arise, and take thy journey, thou and thy household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn, for Yahweh hath called for a famine, moreover also, it is coming upon the land seven years.

2 是をもて婦起て神の人の言のごとくに爲しその家族とともに往てペリシテ人の地に七年寄寓ぬ

So the woman arose, and did according to the word of the man of God, —and took her journey, she and her household, and she sojourned in the land of the Philistines, seven years.

3 かくて七年を經て後婦人ペリシテ人の地より歸りしが自己の家と田畝のために王に呼もとめんとて往り

And it came to pass, at the end of seven years, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines, —and she went forth to make outcry unto the king, concerning her house and concerning her field.

4 時に王は神の人の僕ゲハジにむかひ請ふエリシヤが爲し諸の大なる事等を我に告よと言てこれと談話をる

Now, the king, was speaking unto Gehazi, servant of the man of God, saying, Do recount unto me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.

5 即ち彼エリシヤが死人を甦らせしことを王にものがたりをる時にその子を彼が甦らせし婦自己の家と田畝のために王に呼もとめければゲハジ言ふわが主王よ是すなはちその婦人なり是すなはちエリシヤが甦らせしその子なり

And so it was, just as he was recounting to the king how he had restored the dead to life, lo! the woman whose son he had restored to life, began making outcry unto the king, for her house and for her field. Then said Gehazi, My lord, O king! this, is the woman, and, this, her son, whom, Elisha, restored to life.

6 王すなはちその婦に尋ねけるにこれを陳たれば王彼のために一人の官吏を派出して言ふ凡て彼に屬する物並に彼がこの地を去し日より今にいたるまでの其田畝の產出物を悉く彼に還せよと

So the king asked the woman, and she recounted it to him, —the king, therefore, appointed her a certain officer, saying—Restore all that was hers, and all the increase of the field, from the day she left the land, even until now.

7 エリシヤ、ダマスコに至れる事あり時にスリアの王ベネハダデ病にかかりをりしがこれにつげて神の人此にきたると言ふ者ありければ

And Elisha came into Damascus, when Ben-hadad king of Syria, was sick, —and it was told him, saying, The man of God hath come as far as this place.

8 王ハザエルに言ふ汝手に禮物をとり往て神の人を迎へ彼によりてヱホバに吾この病は愈るやと言て問へ

So the king said unto Hazael—Take in thy hand a present, and go to meet the man of God, —so shalt thou enquire of Yahweh, from him, saying, Shall I recover from this sickness?

9 是においてハザエルかれを迎へんとて出往きダマスコのもろもろの佳物駱駝に四十駄を禮物に携へて到りて彼の前に立ち曰けるは汝の子スリアの王ベネハダデ我を汝につかはして吾この病は愈るやと言しむ

So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present in his hand, even every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden, —and came, and stood before him, and said—Thy son, Ben-hadad king of Syria, hath sent me unto thee, saying, Shall I recover from this sickness?

10 エリシヤかれに言けるは往てかれに汝はかならず愈べしと告よ但しヱホバかれはかならず死んと我にしめしたまふなり

And Elisha said unto him, Go, say to him, Thou shalt, recover; And yet Yahweh hath shown me, that he will, die.

11 而して神の人瞳子をさだめて彼の羞るまでに見つめ乃て哭いでたれば

And he settled his countenance, and fixed it until he turned pale, —and the man of God, wept.

12 ハザエルわが主よ何て哭たまふやと言ふにエリシヤ答へけるは我汝がイスラエルの子孫になさんところの害惡を知ばなり即ち汝は彼等の城に火をかけ壯年の人を劍にころし子等を挫ぎ孕女を刳ん

Then said Hazael, Why, is my lord, weeping? And he said—Because I know what thou wilt do to the sons of Israel, by way of harm—Their fortresses, thou wilt set on fire, and, their choice young men, with the sword, thou wilt slay, and, their children, thou wilt dash in pieces, and, their women with child, thou wilt rip up.

13 ハザエル言けるは汝の僕は犬なるか何ぞ斯る大なる事をなさんエリシヤ答へけるはヱホバ我にしめしたまふ汝はスリアの王となるにいたらん

And Hazael said, But what is thy servant—the dog—that he should do this great thing? And Elisha said, Yahweh hath shown thee unto me, as king over Syria.

14 斯て彼エリシヤを離れて去てその主君にいたるにエリシヤは汝に何と言しやと尋ければ答へて彼汝はかならず愈るあらんと我に告たりと言ふ

So he departed from Elisha, and came in unto his lord, who said to him, What said, Elisha, unto thee? And he said. He told me thou wouldst, recover.

15 翌日にいたりてハザエル粗き布をとりて水に浸しこれをもて王の面を覆ひたれば死りハザエルすなはち之にかはりて王となる

But it came to pass on the morrow, that he took the coverlet, and dipped it in water, and spread it over his face, that he died, —and, Hazael, reigned, in his stead.

16 イスラエルの王アハブの子ヨラムの五年にはヨシヤパテ尚ユダの王たりき此年にユダの王ヨシヤバテの子ヨラム位に即り

Now, in the fifth year of Joram son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoshaphat, having been king of Judah, Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, began to reign.

17 彼は位に即し時三十二歳にして八年の間エルサレムにて世を治めたり

Thirty-two years old, was he when he began to reign, and, eight years, reigned, he in Jerusalem.

18 彼はアハブの家のなせるがごとくにイスラエルの王等の道を行へりアハブの女かれの妻なりければなり斯彼はヱホバの目の前に惡をなせしかども

And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as did the house of Ahab, for, a daughter of Ahab, became his wife, —and he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh.

19 ヱホバその僕ダビデのためにユダを滅すことを好みたまはざりき即ち彼にその子孫によりて恒に光明を與んと言たまひしがごとし

Yet was not Yahweh willing to destroy Judah, for the sake of David his servant, —even as he promised him to give him a lamp for his sons all the days.

20 ヨラムの代にエドム叛きてユダの手に服せず自ら王を立たれば

In his days, did Edom revolt from under the hand of Judah, —and they set over them a king.

21 ヨラムその一切の戰車をしたがへてザイルに渉りしが遂に夜の中に起あがりて自己を圍めるエドム人を撃ちその戰車の長等を撃り斯して民はその天幕に逃ゆきぬ

So Joram passed over to Zair, and all the chariots with him, —and it came to pass that, he, arising by night, smote the Edomites that were round about unto him, and the captains of the chariots, and the people fled to their homes,

22 エドムは斯叛きてユダの手に服せずなりしが今日まで然り此時にあたりてリブナもまた叛けり

Yet did Edom revolt from under the hand of Judah, unto this day, —then, revolted Libnah, at the same time.

23 ヨラムのその餘の行爲およびその凡て爲たる事等はユダの王の歴代志の書に記さるるにあらずや

Now, the rest of the story of Joram, and all that he did, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

24 ヨラムその先祖等とともに寝りてダビデの邑にその先祖たちと同じく葬られその子アハジアこれに代りて王となれり

And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, in the city of David, —and, Ahaziah his son, reigned, in his stead.

25 イスラエルの王アハブの子ヨラムの十二年にユダの王ヨラムの子アハジア位に即り

In the twelfth year of Joram son of Ahab king of Israel, did Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah, begin to reign.

26 アハジアは位に即し時二十二歳にしてエルサレムにて一年世を治めたりその母はイスラエルの王オムリの孫女にして名をアタリヤといふ

Two and twenty years old, was Ahaziah when he began to reign, —and, one year, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Athaliah, daughter of Omri, king of Israel;

27 アハジアはアハブの家の道にあゆみアハブの家のごとくにヱホバの目の前に惡をなせり是かれはアハブの家の婿なりければなり

And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, like the house of Ahab, —for, son-in-law of the house of Ahab, was, he.

28 茲にアハブの子ヨラム自身ゆきてスリアの王ハザエルとギレアデのラモテに戰ひけるがスリア人等ヨラムに傷を負せたり

And he went with Joram son of Ahab, to make war against Hazael king of Syria, in Ramoth-gilead, —and the Syrians wounded Joram.

29 是に於てヨラム王はそのスリアの王ハザエルと戰ふにあたりてラマに於てスリア人に負せられたるところの傷を療さんとてヱズレルに歸れりユダの王ヨラムの子アハジアはアハブの子ヨラムが病をるをもてヱズレルに下りて之を訪ふ

So Joram the king returned to get healed in Jezreel, from the wounds wherewith the Syrians had wounded him in Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria, —and, Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah, went down to see Joram son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he, was sick.
