列王記Ⅱ 9
1 茲に預言者エリシヤ預言者の徒一人を呼てこれに言ふ汝腰をひきからげ此膏の瓶を手にとりてギレアデのラモテに往け
And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thine hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead:
2 而して汝かしこに到らばニムシの子なるヨシヤパテの子ヱヒウを其處に尋獲て内に入り彼をその兄弟の中より起しめて奧の間につれゆき
And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber;
3 膏の瓶をとりその首に灌ぎて言へヱホバかく言たまふ我汝に膏をそそぎてイスラエルの王となすと而して戸を開きて逃されよ止ること勿れ
Then take the box of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus saith YHWH, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not.
4 是において預言者の僕なるその少者ギレアデのラモテに往けるが
So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead.
5 到りて見るに軍勢の長等坐してをりければ將軍よ我汝に告べき事ありと言ふにヱヒウこたへて我儕諸人の中の誰にかと言たれば將軍よ汝にと言ふ
And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O captain.
6 ヱヒウすなはち起て家にいりければ彼その首に膏をそそぎて之に言ふイスラエルの神ヱホバかく言たまふ我汝に膏をそそぎてヱホバの民イスラエルの王となす
And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith YHWH Elohim of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of YHWH, even over Israel.
7 汝はその主アハブの家を撃ほろぼすべし其によりて我わが僕なる預言者等の血とヱホバの諸の僕等の血をイゼベルの身に報いん
And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of YHWH, at the hand of Jezebel.
8 アハブの家は全く滅亡べしアハブに屬する男はイスラエルにありて繋がれたる者も繋がれざる者もともに之を絶べし
For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel:
9 我アハブの家をネバテの子ヤラベアムの家のごとくに爲しアヒヤの子バアシヤの家のごとくになさん
And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah:
10 ヱズレルの地において犬イゼベルを食ふべし亦これを葬るものあらじと而して戸を啓きて逃されり
And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.
11 かくてヱヒウその主の臣僕等の許にいできたりたれば一人之に言ふ平安なるやこの狂る者何のために汝にきたりしやヱヒウこたへて汝等はかの人を知りまたその言ところを知なりと言ふに
Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his master: and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? And he said unto them, Ye know the man, and his communication.
12 彼等言けらく謊なり其を我儕に告よと是においてヱヒウ言けるは彼斯々我につげて言りヱホバかく言たまふ我汝に膏をそそぎてイスラエルの王となすと
And they said, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith YHWH, I have anointed thee king over Israel.
13 彼等すなはち急ぎて各人その衣服をとりこれを階の上ヱヒウの下に布き喇叭を吹てヱヒウは王たりと言り
Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehu is king.
14 ニムシの子なるヨシヤバテの子ヱヒウ斯ヨラムに叛けり(ヨラムはイスラエルを盡くひきゐてギレアデのラモテに於てスリアの王ハザエルを禦ぎたりしが
So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had kept Ramoth-gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria.
15 ヨラム王はそのスリアの王ハザエルと戰ふ時にスリア人に負せられたるところの傷を痊さんとてヱズレルに歸りてをる)ヱヒウ言けるは若なんぢらの心にかなはば一人もこの邑より走いでてこれをヱズレルに言ふ者なからしめよと
But king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it be your minds, then let none go forth nor escape out of the city to go to tell it in Jezreel.
16 ヱヒウすなはちヱズレルをさして乗往りヨラムかしこに臥をればなりまたユダの王アハジアはヨラムを訪に下りてをる
So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram.
17 ヱズレルの戌樓に一箇の守望者立をりしがヱヒウの群衆のきたるを見て我群衆を見るといひければヨラム言ふ一人を馬に乗て遣し其に會しめて平安なるやと言しめよと
And there stood a watchman on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take an horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?
18 是において一人馬にて行てこれに會ひ王かく宣まふ平安なるやと言ふにヱヒウ言けるは平安は汝の與るところならんや吾後にまはれと守望者また告て言ふ使者かれらの許に往たるが歸り來ずと
So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he cometh not again.
19 是をもて再び人を馬にて遣したればその人かれらに到りて王かく宣まふ何か變事あるやと言ふにヱヒウ答て平安は汝の與るところならんや吾後にまはれと言ふ
Then he sent out a second on horseback, which came to them, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me.
20 守望者また告て言ふ彼も彼等の所にまで到りしが歸り來ずその車を趨するはニムシの子ヱヒウが趨するに似狂ふて趨らせ來る
And the watchman told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not again: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously.
21 是においてヨラム車を整へよと言ひけるが車整ひたればイスラエルの王ヨラムとユダの王アハジアおのおのその車にて出たり即ちかれらヱヒウにむかひて出きたりヱズレル人ナボテの地にて之に會けるが
And Joram said, Make ready. And his chariot was made ready. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.
22 ヨラム、ヱヒウを見てヱヒウよ平安なるやといひたればヱヒウこたへて汝の母イゼベルの姦淫と魔術と斯多かれば何の平安あらんやと云り
And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?
23 ヨラムすなはち手をめぐらして逃げアハジアにむかひ反逆なりアハジアよと言ふに
And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah.
24 ヱヒウ手に弓をひきしぼりてヨラムの肩の間を射たればその矢かれの心をいぬきて出で彼は車の中に偃ししづめり
And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.
25 ヱヒウその將ビデカルに言けるは彼をとりてヱズレル人ナボテの地の中に投すてよ其は汝憶ふべし甞て我と汝と二人ともに乗て彼の父アハブに從へる時にヱホバ斯かれの事を預言したまへり
Then said Jehu to Bidkar his captain, Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for remember how that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, YHWH laid this burden upon him;
26 曰くヱホバ言ふ誠に我昨日ナボテの血とその子等の血を見たりヱホバ言ふ我この地において汝にむくゆることあらんと然ば彼をとりてその地になげすててヱホバの言のごとくにせよ
Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith YHWH; and I will requite thee in this plat, saith YHWH. Now therefore take and cast him into the plat of ground, according to the word of YHWH.
27 ユダの王アハジアはこれを視て園の家の途より逃ゆきけるがヱヒウその後を追ひ彼をも車の中に撃ころせと言しかばイブレアムの邊なるグルの坂にてこれを撃たればメギドンまで逃ゆきて其處に死り
But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot. And they did so at the going up to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.
28 その臣僕等すなはち之を車にのせてエルサレムにたづさへゆきダビデの邑においてかれの墓にその先祖等とおなじくこれを葬れり
And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.
29 アハブの子ヨラムの十一年にアハジアはユダの王となりしなり
And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah.
30 斯てヱヒウ、ヱズレルにきたりしかばイゼベル聞てその目を塗り髮をかざりて窓より望みけるが
And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window.
31 ヱヒウ門に入きたりたればその主を弑せしジムリよ平安なるやと言り
And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?
32 ヱヒウすなはち面をあげて窓にむかひ誰か我に與ものあるや誰かあるやと言けるに二三の寺人ヱヒウを望みたれば
And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs.
33 彼を投おとせと言りすなはち之を投おとしたればその血牆と馬とにほどばしりつけりヱヒウこれを踏とほれり
And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot.
34 斯て彼内にいりて食飮をなし而して言けるは往てかの詛はれし婦を見これを葬れ彼は王の女子なればなりと
And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, and bury her: for she is a king's daughter.
35 是をもて彼を葬らんとて往て見るにその頭骨と足と掌とありしのみなりければ
And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.
36 歸りで彼につぐるに彼言ふ是すなはちヱホバがその僕なるテシベ人エリヤをもて告たまひし言なり云くヱズレルの地において犬イゼベルの肉を食はん
Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of YHWH, which he spake by his servant EliYah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel:
37 イゼベルの屍骸はヱズレルの地に於て糞土のごとくに野の表にあるべし是をもて是はイゼベルなりと指て言ふこと能ざらん
And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.
