< 2 Kings 3 >

1 Nowe Iehoram the sonne of Ahab beganne to reigne ouer Israel in Samaria, the eighteenth yeere of Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, and reigned twelue yeeres.
ユダの王ヨシヤパテの十八年にアハブの子ヨラム、サマリヤにありてイスラエルを治め十二年位にありき
2 And he wrought euill in the sight of the Lord, but not like his father nor like his mother: for he tooke away the image of Baal that his father had made.
かれはヱホバの目のまへに惡をなせしかどもその父母の如くはあらざりきそは彼その父の造りしバアルの像を除きたればなり
3 Neuerthelesse, he cleaued vnto the sinnes of Ieroboam, the sonne of Nebat, which made Israel to sinne, and departed not therefrom.
されど彼は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の罪を行ひつづけて之をはなれざりき
4 Then Mesha King of Moab had store of sheepe, and rendred vnto the King of Israel an hundreth thousande lambes, and an hundreth thousande rammes with the wooll.
モアブの王メシヤは羊を有つ者にして十萬の羔と十萬の牡羊の毛とをイスラエルの王に納めをりしが
5 But when Ahab was dead, the king of Moab rebelled against the King of Israel.
アハブの死しのちモアブの王はイスラエルの王にそむけり
6 Therefore King Iehoram went out of Samaria the same season, and nombred all Israel,
是に於てヨラム王其時サマリヤを出てイスラエル人をことごとく集め
7 And went, and sent to Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, saying, The King of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou goe with me to battell against Moab? And he answered, I will goe vp: for I am, as thou art, my people, as thy people, and mine horses as thine horses.
また往て人をユダの王ヨシヤパテに遣していはしむモアブの王われに背けり汝われとともにモアブに攻ゆくやと彼いひけるは我上らん我は汝の如くわが民はなんぢの民のごとくまたわが馬は汝の馬の如しと
8 Then said he, What way shall we goe vp? And he answered, The way of the wildernesse of Edom.
ヨラムいひけるは我儕いづれの路より上らんかかれいふエドムの曠野の途よりせんと
9 So went the King of Israel and the king of Iudah, and the King of Edom, and when they had compassed the way seuen dayes, they had no water for the hoste, nor for the cattell that followed them.
イスラエルの王すなはちユダの王およびエドムの王と共に出ゆきけるが行めぐること七日路にして軍勢とこれにしたがふ家畜の飮むべき水なかりしかば
10 Therefore the King of Israel sayde, Alas, that the Lord hath called these three Kings, to giue them into the hand of Moab.
イスラエルの王いひけるは嗚呼ヱホバこの三人の王をモアブの手にわたさんと召し集めたまへりと
11 But Iehoshaphat saide, Is there not here a Prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire of the Lord by him? And one of the King of Israels seruants answered, and said, Here is Elisha the sonne of Shaphat, which powred water on the handes of Eliiah.
ヨシヤバテいひけるは我儕が由てヱホバに問ふべきヱホバの預言者此にあらざるやとイスラエルの王の臣僕の一人答へていふエリヤの手に水をそそぎたるシヤパテの子エリシヤ此にあり
12 Then Iehoshaphat saide, The worde of the Lord is with him. Therefore the King of Israel, and Iehoshaphat, and the King of Edom went downe to him.
ヨシヤパテいひけるはヱホバの言彼にありとかくてイスラエルの王およびヨシヤパテとエドムの王かれの許に下りゆきけるに
13 And Elisha sayde vnto the King of Israel, What haue I to doe with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father and to the prophets of thy mother. And the King of Israel saide vnto him, Nay: for the Lord hath called these three Kings, to giue them into the hande of Moab.
エリシヤ、イスラエルの王に言けるはわれ汝と何の干與あらんや汝の父の預言者と汝の母の預言者の所にゆくべしとイスラエルの王かれにいひけるは然ずそはヱホバこの三人の王をモアブの手に付さんとて召集めたまへばなり
14 Then Elisha said, As the Lord of hostes liueth, in whose sight I stande, if it were not, that I regarde the presence of Iehoshaphat the King of Iudah, I woulde not haue looked towarde thee, nor seene thee.
エリシヤ言けるはわが事ふる萬軍のヱホバは活く我ユダの王ヨシヤパテのためにするにあらすばかならず汝を顧みず汝を見ざらんものを
15 But nowe bring me a minstrel. And when the minstrel played, the hand of the Lord came vpon him.
今樂人をわれにつれ來れと而して樂人の樂をなすにおよびてヱホバの手かれに臨みて
16 And he saide, Thus saith the Lord, Make this valley full of ditches.
彼いひけるはヱホバかくいひたまふ此谷に許多の溝を設けよ
17 For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall neither see winde nor see raine, yet the valley shalbe filled with water, that ye may drinke, both ye and your cattel, and your beastes.
それヱホバかく言ひたまふ汝ら風を見ず雨をも見ざるに此谷に水盈て汝等と汝等の家畜および汝らの獣飮ことを得ん
18 But this is a small thing in the sight of the Lord: for he will giue Moab into your hande.
然るも是はヱホバの目には瑣細き事なりヱホバ、モアブ人をも汝らの手にわたしたまはん
19 And ye shall smite euery strong towne and euery chiefe citie, and shall fell euery faire tree, and shall stoppe all the fountaines of water, and marre euery good fielde with stones.
汝等は保障ある諸の邑と諸の美しき邑とを撃ち諸の佳樹を斫倒し諸の水の井を塞ぎ石をもて諸の善地を壞ふにいたらん
20 And in the morning whe the meat offring was offred, beholde, there came water by the way of Edom: and the countrey was filled with water.
かくて朝におよびて供物を献ぐる時に水エドムの途より流れきたりて水國に充つ
21 And when al the Moabites heard that the Kings were come vp to fight against them, they gathered all that was able to put on harnesse, and vpwarde, and stood in their border.
偖またモアブ人はみな王等の己に攻のぼれるを聞しかば甲を著ることを得る以上の者を盡く集めてその境に備へしが
22 And they rose earely in the morning, when the sunne arose vpon the water, and the Moabites saw the water ouer against them, as red as blood.
朝はやく興いでしに水の上に日昇りゐて對面の水血の如くに赤かりければモアブ人これを見て
23 And they saide, This is blood the Kings are surely slaine, and one hath smitten another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoyle.
いひけるはこれ乃はち血なり王たち戰ひて死たるならん互に相撃たるなるべし然ばモアブよ掠取に行けと
24 And when they came to the host of Israel, the Israelites arose vp, and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them, but they inuaded them, and smote Moab.
而してモアブ人イスラエルの陣營に至るにイスラエル人起てこれを撃たればすなはちその前より逃はしれり是においてイスラエル人進みてモアブ人を撃てその國にいり
25 And they destroyed the cities: and on all the good field euery man cast his stone, and filled them and they stopt all the fountaines of water, and felled all the good trees: onely in Kirharaseth left they the stones thereof: howebeit they went about it with slings, and smote it.
その邑々を撃圮し各石を諸の善地に投てこれに填し水の井をことごとく塞ぎ佳樹をことごとく斫たふし唯キルハラセテにその石をのこせしのみなるに至る但し石を投るもの周りあるきてこれを撃り
26 And when the King of Moab saw that the battel was too sore for him, he tooke with him seuen hudreth men that drew the sword, to break through vnto the King of Edom: but they could not.
モアブ王戰闘の手いたくして當りがたきを見て劍を抜く者七百人をひきゐてエドム王の所にまで衝きいたらんとせしが遂に果さざりしかば
27 Then he tooke his eldest sonne, that should haue reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offring vpon the wall: so that Israel was sore grieued, and they departed from him, and returned to their countrey.
己の位を継べきその長子をとりてこれを石垣の上にささげて燔祭となしたり是に於てイスラエルに大なる憤怒おこりぬ彼等すなはちかれをすててその國に歸れり
