列王記Ⅱ 12
1 ヨアシはエヒウの第七年に位につき、エルサレムで四十年の間、世を治めた。その母はベエルシバの出身で、名をヂビアといった。
In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash has reigned, and he has reigned forty years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Zibiah of Beer-Sheba,
2 ヨアシは一生の間、主の目にかなう事をおこなった。祭司エホヤダが彼を教えたからである。
and Jehoash does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH all his days in which Jehoiada the priest directed him,
3 しかし高き所は除かなかったので、民はなおその高き所で犠牲をささげ、香をたいた。
only, the high places have not been removed—the people are still sacrificing and making incense in high places.
4 ヨアシは祭司たちに言った、「すべて主の宮に聖別してささげる銀、すなわちおのおのが課せられて、割当にしたがって人々の出す銀、および人々が心から願って主の宮の持ってくる銀は、
And Jehoash says to the priests, “All the money of the sanctified things that is brought into the house of YHWH, the money of him who is passing over, the money of each of the souls—his valuation, all the money that goes up on the heart of a man to bring into the house of YHWH,
5 これを祭司たちがおのおのその知る人から受け取り、どこでも主の宮に破れの見える時は、それをもってその破れを繕わなければならない」。
the priests take to themselves, each from his acquaintance, and they strengthen the breach of the house in all [places] there where a breach is found.”
6 ところがヨアシ王の二十三年に至るまで、祭司たちは主の宮の破れを繕わなかった。
And it comes to pass, in the twenty-third year of King Jehoash, the priests have not strengthened the breach of the house,
7 それで、ヨアシ王は祭司エホヤダおよび他の祭司たちを召して言った、「なぜ、あなたがたは主の宮の破れを繕わないのか。あなたがたはもはや知人から銀を受けてはならない。主の宮の破れを繕うためにそれを渡しなさい」。
and King Jehoash calls to Jehoiada the priest, and to the priests, and says to them, “Why are you not strengthening the breach of the house? And now, receive no money from your acquaintances, but give it for the breach of the house.”
8 祭司たちは重ねて民から銀を受けない事と、主の宮の破れを繕わない事とに同意した。
And the priests do not consent to receive money from the people, nor to strengthen the breach of the house,
9 そこで祭司エホヤダは一つの箱を取り、そのふたに穴をあけて、それを主の宮の入口の右側、祭壇のかたわらに置いた。そして門を守る祭司たちは主の宮にはいってくる銀をことごとくその中に入れた。
and Jehoiada the priest takes a chest, and pierces a hole in its lid, and puts it near the altar, on the right side, as one comes into the house of YHWH, and the priests keeping the threshold have put all the money there that is brought into the house of YHWH.
10 こうしてその箱の中に銀が多くなったのを見ると、王の書記官と大祭司が上ってきて、主の宮にある銀を数えて袋に詰めた。
And it comes to pass, at their seeing that the money [is] abundant in the chest, that there goes up a scribe of the king, and of the high priest, and they bind [it] up, and count the money that is found [in] the house of YHWH,
11 そしてその数えた銀を、工事をつかさどる主の宮の監督者の手にわたしたので、彼らはそれを主の宮に働く木工と建築師に払い、
and have given the weighed money into the hands of those doing the work, those inspecting the house of YHWH, and they bring it out to those working in the wood, and to builders who are working in the house of YHWH,
12 石工および石切りに払い、またそれをもって主の宮の破れを繕う材木と切り石を買い、主の宮を繕うために用いるすべての物のために費した。
and to those [repairing] the wall, and to hewers of stone, and to buy wood and hewn stones to strengthen the breach of the house of YHWH, and for all that goes out on the house, to strengthen it.
13 ただし、主の宮にはいってくるその銀をもって主の宮のために銀のたらい、心切りばさみ、鉢、ラッパ、金の器、銀の器などを造ることはしなかった。
Only, there is not made for the house of YHWH basins of silver, snuffers, bowls, trumpets, any vessel of gold, and vessel of silver, out of the money that is brought into the house of YHWH;
14 ただこれを工事をする者に渡して、それで主の宮を繕わせた。
for they give it to those doing the work, and they have strengthened the house of YHWH with it,
15 またその銀を渡して工事をする者に払わせた人々と計算することはしなかった。彼らは正直に事をおこなったからである。
and they do not reckon with the men into whose hand they give the money to give to those doing the work, for they are dealing in faithfulness.
16 愆祭の銀と罪祭の銀は主の宮に、はいらないで、祭司に帰した。
The money of a trespass-offering and the money of sin-offerings is not brought into the house of YHWH—it is for the priests.
17 そのころ、スリヤの王ハザエルが上ってきて、ガテを攻めてこれを取った。そしてハザエルがエルサレムに攻め上ろうとして、その顔を向けたとき、
Then Hazael king of Aram goes up and fights against Gath, and captures it, and Hazael sets his face to go up against Jerusalem;
18 ユダの王ヨアシはその先祖、ユダの王ヨシャパテ、ヨラム、アハジヤが聖別してささげたすべての物、およびヨアシ自身が聖別してささげた物、ならびに主の宮の倉と、主の宮にある金をことごとく取って、スリヤ王のハザエルに贈ったので、ハザエルはエルサレムを離れ去った。
and Jehoash king of Judah takes all the sanctified things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had sanctified, and his own sanctified things, and all the gold that is found in the treasures of the house of YHWH and of the house of the king, and sends [them] to Hazael king of Aram, and he goes up from off Jerusalem.
19 ヨアシのその他の事績および彼がしたすべての事は、ユダの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。
And the rest of the matters of Joash and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
20 ヨアシの家来たちは立って徒党を結び、シラに下る道にあるミロの家でヨアシを殺した。
And his servants rise, and make a conspiracy, and strike Joash in the house of Millo, that is going down to Silla.
21 すなわちその家来シメアテの子ヨザカルと、ショメルの子ヨザバデが彼を撃って殺し、彼をその先祖と同じく、ダビデの町に葬った。その子アマジヤが代って王となった。
Indeed, Jozachar son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad son of Shemer, his servants, have struck him, and he dies, and they bury him with his fathers in the City of David, and his son Amaziah reigns in his stead.
