2 Kings 14
1 After Jehoash had been ruling Israel for almost two years, Joash’s son Amaziah became the king of Judah.
イスラエルの王ヨアハズの子ヨアシの二年にユダの王ヨアシの子アマジヤ王となれり
2 He was 25 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 29 years. His mother was Jehoaddin; she was from Jerusalem.
彼は王となれる時二十五歳にして二十九年の間エルサレムにて世を治めたりその母はエルサレムの者にして名をヱホアダンと云り
3 Amaziah did many things that pleased Yahweh, but he did not do as many things that pleased Yahweh as King David had done. He did some of the good things that his father Joash had done.
アマジヤはヱホバの善と見たまふ事をなしたりしがその先祖ダビデのごとくはあらざりき彼は萬の事において其父ヨアシがなせしごとくに事をなせり
4 But, [like his father, ] he did not tear down the places for worshipping Yahweh at pagan shrines. The people continued to burn incense [to honor Yahweh] on those hills [instead of in Jerusalem, the place that Yahweh had appointed].
惟崇邱はのぞかずしてあり民はなほその崇邱において犠牲をささげ香を焚り
5 As soon as he was completely in control of his kingdom, he caused to be executed the officials who had murdered his father.
彼は國のその手に堅くたつにおよびてその父王を弑せし臣僕等を殺したりしが
6 But he did not execute their children. He obeyed what was written in the laws that God gave to Moses: “Parents must not be executed for [the crimes/sins committed by] their children, and children must not be executed for [crimes/sins committed by] their parents. People must be executed only for the sins that they themselves [have committed].”
その弑殺人の子女等は殺さざりき是はモーセの律法の書に記されたる所にしたがへるなり即ちヱホバ命じて言たまはく子女の故によりて父を殺すべからず父の故によりて子女を殺すべからず人はみなその身の罪によりて死べき者なりと
7 Amaziah’s soldiers killed 10,000 soldiers of the Edom people-group in the Salt Valley [south of the Dead Sea], and they captured Sela [city] and gave it a new name, Joktheel. That is still its name.
アマジヤまた鹽谷においてエドミ人一萬を殺せり亦セラを攻とりてその名をヨクテルとなづけしが今日まで然り
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to King Jehoash of Israel, saying “Come here and let’s talk together.”
かくてアマジヤ使者をヱヒウの子ヨアハズの子なるイスラエルの王ヨアシにおくりて來れ我儕たがひに面をあはせんと言しめければ
9 But King Jehoash replied to King Amaziah: “Once a thornbush growing [in the mountains] in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar tree, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son in order that he may marry her.’ But a wild animal in Lebanon passed by the thornbush and trampled it.
イスラエルの王ヨアシ、ユダの王アマジヤに言おくりけるはレバノンの荊棘かつてレバノンの香柏に汝の女子をわが子の妻にあたへよと言おくりたることありしにレバノンの野獣とほりてその荊棘を踏たふせり
10 [The meaning of what I am saying is that] your army has defeated the army of Edom, so now you have become very proud. But you should be content with defeating the people of Edom, and allow your soldiers to stay at home. If you cause trouble [by fighting against] us, you will surely [RHQ] cause a disaster to happen to you and to your people.”
汝は大にエドムに勝たれば心に誇るその榮譽にやすんじて家に居れなんぞ禍を惹おこして自己もユダもともに亡んとするやと
11 But Amaziah refused to heed Jehoash’s message. So he marched with his army to fight against the Israeli army at Beth-Shemesh [city] in Judah.
然るにアマジヤ聽ことをせざりしかばイスラエルの王ヨアシのぼり來れり是において彼とユダの王アマジヤはユダのベテシメシにてたがひに面をあはせたりしが
12 The Israeli army defeated the army of Judah, and all the soldiers of Judah fled and ran back home.
ユダ、イスラエルに敗られて各人その天幕に逃かへりぬ
13 Jehoash’s army also captured King Amaziah there, and they also marched to Jerusalem and tore down the wall that was around the city, from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate. That was a section that was about (200 yards/180 meters) long.
是においてイスラエルの王ヨアシはアジアの子ヨアシの子なるユダの王アマジヤをベテシメシに擒へ而してエルサレムにいたりてエルサレムの石垣をエフライムの門より隅の門まで凡そ四百キユビトを毀ち
14 Jehoash’s soldiers seized all the gold and silver that they found, and all the utensils that were in the temple, and all the valuable things that were in the palace, and took them to Samaria. They also took to Samaria some prisoners whom they had captured.
またヱホバの家と王の家の庫とにあるところの金銀および諸の器をとりかつ人質をとりてサマリヤにかへれり
15 [If you want to know about] all the other things that Jehoash did when he was king, including when he [and his army] fought against [the army of] King Amaziah of Judah, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
ヨアシがなしたるその餘の行爲とその能およびそのイスラエルの王アマジヤと戰ひし事はイスラエルの王の歴代志の書にしるさるるにあらずや
16 Jehoash died [EUP], and he was buried in Samaria, where the other kings of Israel had been buried. Then his son Jeroboam became the king.
ヨアシその先祖等とともに寝りてイスラエルの王等とともにサマリヤに葬られその子ヤラベアムこれに代りて王となれり
17 Amaziah, the king of Judah, lived for 15 more years after Jehoash, the king of Israel, died.
ヨアシの子なるユダの王アマジヤはヨアハズの子なるイスラエルの王ヨアシの死てより後なほ十五年生存へたり
18 [If you want to know more about] everything else that Amaziah did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
アマジヤのその餘の行爲はユダの王の歴代志の書にしるさるるにあらずや
19 Some people in Jerusalem plotted against Amaziah, so he fled to Lachish [city]. But they followed him there and killed him.
茲にエルサレムにおいて黨をむすびて彼に敵する者ありければ彼ラキシに逃ゆきけるにその人々ラキシに人をやりて彼を彼處に殺さしめたり
20 They took his corpse back to Jerusalem and buried it where his ancestors had been buried, in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’.
人衆かれを馬に負せてもちきたりエルサレムにおいてこれをその先祖等とともにダビデの邑に葬りぬ
21 Then all the people of Judah appointed Amaziah’s son Uzziah, when he was 16 years old, to be their king
ユダの民みなアザリヤをとりて王となしてその父アマジヤに代しめたり時に年十六なりき
22 After his father died, Uzziah’s workers captured Elath [city], and it came under the control of Judah again.
彼エラテの邑を建てこれを再びユダに歸せしめたり是はかの王がその先祖等とともに寝りし後なりき
23 When Amaziah had been ruling Judah for almost 15 years, Jeroboam became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for 41 years.
ユダの王ヨアシの子アマジヤの十五年にイスラエルの王ヨアシの子ヤラベアム、サマリヤにおいて王となり四十一年位にありき
24 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did not stop committing the same kind of sins that Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, committed, sins which led the Israeli people to sin also.
彼はヱホバの目の前に惡をなし夫のイスラエルに罪を犯さしめたるネバテの子ヤラベアムの罪に離れざりき
25 His soldiers conquered again some of the territory that had previously belonged to Israel, from Hamath [city] in the north to the Dead Sea in the south. That is what Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis worshiped, promised the prophet Jonah, the son of Amittai, from Gath-Hepher [town], would happen.
彼ハマテの入處よりアラバの海までイスラエルの邊境を恢復せりイスラエルの神ヱホバがガテヘペルのアミツタイの子なるその僕預言者ヨナによりて言たまひし言のごとし
26 That happened because Yahweh saw that [the Israelis’ enemies were causing] the Israelis [to] suffer very much. And there was absolutely no one [IDM] who would help them.
ヱホバ、イスラエルの艱難を見たまふに其は甚だ苦かり即ち繋れたる者もあらず繋れざる者もあらず又イスラエルを助る者もあらず
27 But Yahweh said that he would not destroy Israel completely, so he enabled King Jeroboam to rescue them.
ヱホバは我イスラエルの名を天下に塗抹んとすと言たまひしこと無し反てヨアシの子ヤラベアムの手をもてこれを拯ひたまへり
28 [If you want to know more about] everything else that Jeroboam did, [about] his fighting courageously in battles, and [about] his [enabling the Israelis to] capture again Damascus and Hamath [cities], they are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
ヤラベアムのその餘の行爲とその凡てなしたる事およびその戰爭をなせし能その昔にユダに屬し居たることありしダマスコとハマテを再びイスラエルに歸せしめたる事はイスラエルの王の歴代志の書に記さるるにあらずや
29 Jeroboam died [EUP], [and was buried] where the other kings of Israel [were buried], and his son Zechariah became the king.
ヤラベアムその先祖たるイスラエルの王等とともに寝りその子ザカリヤこれに代りて王となれり
