歴代誌Ⅱ 28

1 アハズは二十歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて十六年の間世を治めたりしがその父ダビデと異にしてヱホバの善と觀たまふ所を行はず

Ahaz [was] twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, like David his father:

2 イスラエルの王等の道にあゆみ亦諸のバアルのために像を鋳造り

For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim.

3 ベンヒンノムの谷にて香を焚きその子を火に燒きなどしてヱホバがイスラエルの子孫の前より逐はらひたまひし異邦人の行ふところの憎むべき事に傚ひ

Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

4 また崇邱の上丘の上一切の靑木の下にて犠牲をささげ香を焚り

He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

5 是故にその神ヱホバかれをスリアの王の手に付したまひてスリア人つひに彼を撃破りその人々を衆く虜囚としてダマスコに曳ゆけり彼はまたイスラエルの王の手にも付されたればイスラエルの王かれを撃て大にその人を殺せり

Wherefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought [them] to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter.

6 すなはちレマリヤの子ペカ、ユダにおいて一日の中に十二萬人を殺せり皆勇士なりき是は彼らその先祖の神ヱホバを棄しによるなり

For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred and twenty thousand in one day, [which were] all valiant men; because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers.

7 その時にエフライムの勇士ジクリといふ者王の子マアセヤ宮内卿アズリカムおよび王に亞ぐ人エルカナを殺せり

And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king’s son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah [that was] next to the king.

8 イスラエルの子孫つひにその兄弟の中より婦人ならびに男子女子など合せて二十萬人を俘擄にしまた衆多の掠取物を爲しその掠取物をサマリアに携へゆけり

And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.

9 時に彼處にヱホバの預言者ありその名をオデデといふ彼サマリアに歸れる軍勢の前に進みいでて之に言けるは汝らの先祖の神ヱホバ、ユダを怒りてこれを汝らの手に付したまひしが汝らは天に達するほどの忿怒をもて之を殺せり

But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name [was] Oded: and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because the LORD God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage [that] reacheth up unto heaven.

10 然のみならず汝ら今ユダとヱルサレムの子孫を圧つけて己の奴婢となさんと思ふ然ども汝ら自身もまた汝らの神ヱホバに罪を獲たる身にあらずや

And now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you: [but are there] not with you, even with you, sins against the LORD your God?

11 然ば今我に聽き汝らがその兄弟の中より擄へ來りし俘擄を放ち歸せヱホバの烈しき怒なんぢらの上に臨まんとすればなりと

Now hear me therefore, and deliver the captives again, which ye have taken captive of your brethren: for the fierce wrath of the LORD [is] upon you.

12 是においてエフライム人の長たる人々すなはちヨハナンの子アザリヤ、メシレモテの子ベレキヤ、シヤルムの子ヒゼキヤ、ハデライの子アマサ等戰爭より歸れる者等の前に立ふさがりて

Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against them that came from the war,

13 之にいひけるは汝ら俘擄を此に曳いるべからず汝らは我らをしてヱホバに愆を得せしめて更に我らの罪愆を増んとす我らの愆は大にして烈しき怒イスラエルにのぞまんとするなりと

And said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither: for whereas we have offended against the LORD [already], ye intend to add [more] to our sins and to our trespass: for our trespass is great, and [there is] fierce wrath against Israel.

14 是において兵卒等その俘擄と掠取物を牧伯等と全會衆の前に遺おきければ

So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation.

15 上に名を擧げたる人々たちて俘擄を受取り掠取物の中より衣服を取てその裸なる者に着せ之に靴を穿せ食飮を爲しめ膏油を沃ぎ等しその弱き者をば盡く驢馬に乗せ斯して之を棕櫚の邑ヱリコに導きゆきてその兄弟に詣らしめ而してサマリアに歸れり

And the men which were expressed by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brethren: then they returned to Samaria.

16 當時アハズ王人をアツスリヤの王等に遣はして援助を乞しむ

At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him.

17 其はエドム人また來りてユダを攻撃ち民を擄へて去たればなり

For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives.

18 ベリシテ人もまた平野の邑々およびユダの南の邑々を侵してベテシメシ、アヤロン、ゲデロテおよびシヨコとその郷里テムナとその郷里ギムゾとその郷里を取て其處に住めり

The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and had taken Beth-shemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho with the villages thereof, and Timnah with the villages thereof, Gimzo also and the villages thereof: and they dwelt there.

19 イスラエルの王アハズの故をもてヱホバかくユダを卑くしたまふ其は彼ユダの中に淫逸なる事を行ひかつヱホバにむかひて大に罪を犯したればなり

For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the LORD.

20 アツスリヤの王テグラテピレセルは彼の所に來りしかども彼に力をそへずして反てこれを煩はせり

And Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not.

21 アハズ、ヱホバの家と王の家および牧伯等の家の物を取てアツスリヤの王に與へけれどもアハズを援くることをせざりき

For Ahaz took away a portion [out] of the house of the LORD, and [out] of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave [it] unto the king of Assyria: but he helped him not.

22 このアハズ王はその困難の時に當りてますますヱホバに罪を犯せり

And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the LORD: this [is that] king Ahaz.

23 即ち彼おのれを撃るダマスコの神々に犠牲を献げて言ふスリアの王等の神々はその王等を助くれば我もこれに犠牲を献げん然ば彼ら我を助けんと然れども彼等はかへつてアハズとイスラエル全國を仆す者となれり

For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him: and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, [therefore] will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.

24 アハズ神の室の器皿を取聚めて神の室の器皿を切やぶりヱホバの室の戸を閉ぢヱルサレムの隅々に凡て祭壇を造り

And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD, and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem.

25 ユダの一切の邑々に崇邱を造りて別神に香を焚き等してその先祖の神ヱホバの忿怒を惹おこせり

And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD God of his fathers.

26 アハズのその餘の始終の行爲およびその一切の行跡はユダとイスラエルの列王の書に記さる

Now the rest of his acts and of all his ways, first and last, behold, they [are] written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

27 アハズその先祖等とともに寝りたればエルサレムの邑にこれを葬れり然どイスラエルの王等の墓にはこれを持ゆかざりき其子ヒゼキヤこれに代りて王となる

And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, [even] in Jerusalem: but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
