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
Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, “Put your belt on your waist, take this vial of oil in your 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
When you come there, find Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in and make him rise up from amongst his brothers, and take him to an inner room.
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 vial of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, ‘The LORD says, “I have anointed you king over Israel.”’ Then open the door, flee, and don’t wait.”
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, the young 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
When he came, behold, the captains of the army were sitting. Then he said, “I have a message for you, captain.” Jehu said, “To which one of us?” He said, “To you, 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
He arose, and went into the house. Then he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, “The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘I have anointed you king over the people of the LORD, 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
You must strike your master Ahab’s house, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, 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 will perish. I will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, both him who is shut up and him who is left at large 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
I will make Ahab’s house 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
The dogs will eat Jezebel on the plot of ground of Jezreel, and there shall be no one to bury her.’” Then 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
When Jehu came out to the servants of his lord and one said to him, “Is all well? Why did this madman come to you?” He said to them, “You know the man and how he talks.”
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
They said, “That is a lie. Tell us now.” He said, “He said to me, ‘The LORD says, I have anointed you 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 hurried, and each man took his cloak, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew the trumpet, 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 was defending 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 had returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) Jehu said, “If this is your thinking, then let no one escape and go 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. Ahaziah king of Judah had 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
Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, “I see a company.” Joram said, “Take a 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 one went on horseback to meet him, and said, “the king says, ‘Is it peace?’” Jehu said, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me!” The watchman said, “The messenger came to them, but he isn’t coming back.”
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, who came to them and said, “The king says, ‘Is it peace?’” Jehu answered, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in 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
The watchman said, “He came to them, and isn’t coming back. The driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives 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
Joram said, “Get ready!” They got his chariot ready. Then Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot; and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him on Naboth the Jezreelite’s land.
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
When Joram saw Jehu, he said, “Is it peace, Jehu?” He answered, “What peace, so long as the prostitution of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft abound?”
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
Joram turned his hands and fled, and said to Ahaziah, “This is treason, 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
Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and struck Joram 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 Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, “Pick him up, and throw him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how, when you and I rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden on 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,’ says the LORD; ‘and I will repay you in this plot of ground,’ says the LORD. Now therefore take and cast him onto the plot of ground, according to the LORD’s word.”
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. Jehu followed after him, and said, “Strike him also in the chariot!” They struck him at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. 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
His servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in David’s city.
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
In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah began 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
When Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and adorned her head, and looked out at the 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
As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, “Do you come in peace, Zimri, you murderer of your 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
He lifted up his face to the window, and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three eunuchs looked out at him.
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
He said, “Throw her down!” So they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses. Then he trampled 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
When he had come in, he ate and drank. Then he said, “See now to 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
They went to bury her, but they found no more of her than the skull, 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
Therefore they came back, and told him. He said, “This is the LORD’s word, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ‘The dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel on the plot of Jezreel,
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 body of Jezebel will be as dung on the surface of the field on Jezreel’s land, so that they won’t say, “This is Jezebel.”’”
