1ヨシャファテはその父祖たちとともに眠り、ダビデの町にその父祖たちとともに葬られた。その子エホラムが代わって王となった。
1Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
2彼には兄弟たち、すなわちヨシャファテの子であるアザルヤ、エヒエル、ゼカリヤ、アザルヤ、ミカエル、シェファティヤがいた。これらはみなイスラエルの王ヨシャファテの子らであった。
2He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
3彼らの父は、銀、金、貴重な品々の大きな贈り物とともに、ユダの防備の町々を彼らに与えたが、王国はエホラムに与えた。彼が長子だったからである。
3Their father gave them great gifts of silver, of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn.
4エホラムは王権を握って地位を固めると、自分のすべての兄弟たちと、イスラエルの君たちの何人かを剣で殺した。
4Now when Jehoram had risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and also some of the princes of Israel.
5エホラムは三十二歳で王となり、エルサレムで八年間治めた。
5Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
6彼は、アハブの家がしたように、イスラエルの王たちの道を歩んだ。彼がアハブの娘を妻としていたからである。彼は主の目に悪を行った。
6He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house, for he had Ahab’s daughter as his wife. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.
7しかし主はダビデと結ばれた契約のゆえに、ダビデの家を滅ぼそうとはされなかった。主は、ダビデとその子らにとこしえにともしびを与えると約束されていたからである。
7However the LORD would not destroy David’s house, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a lamp to him and to his children always.
8彼の時代に、エドムがユダの支配から背き、自分たちの王を立てた。
8In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
9そこでエホラムは指揮官たちとすべての戦車を率いて出陣した。彼は夜に起き上がり、自分を取り囲んでいたエドム人と戦車の長たちを打った。
9Then Jehoram went there with his captains and all his chariots with him. He rose up by night and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, along with the captains of the chariots.
10こうしてエドムはユダの支配から背いて、今日に至っている。その同じ時にリブナも彼の支配から背いた。彼が父祖の神、主を捨てたからである。
10So Edom has been in revolt from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time from under his hand, because he had forsaken the LORD, the God of his fathers.
11さらに彼はユダの山々に高き所を造り、エルサレムの住民に淫行を行わせ、ユダを迷わせた。
11Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem play the prostitute, and led Judah astray.
12預言者エリヤから彼に手紙が届いた。そこにはこう書かれていた。「あなたの父祖ダビデの神、主はこう言われる。『あなたは父ヨシャファテの道や、ユダの王アサの道を歩まず、
12A letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, “the LORD, the God of David your father, says, ‘Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
13イスラエルの王たちの道を歩み、アハブの家がしたようにユダとエルサレムの住民に淫行を行わせ、また、あなたより善良であったあなたの父の家、あなたの兄弟たちを殺した。
13but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute like Ahab’s house did, and also have slain your brothers of your father’s house, who were better than yourself,
14見よ。主は大きな疫病をもってあなたの民、あなたの子ら、あなたの妻たち、そしてあなたのすべての財産を打たれる。
14behold, the LORD will strike your people with a great plague, including your children, your wives, and all your possessions;
15そしてあなたは腸の重い病にかかり、その病のゆえに、ついには日を追うごとにあなたの腸が抜け落ちるようになる。』」
15and you will have great sickness with a disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day.’”
16主はエホラムに対して、ペリシテ人と、エチオピア人の近くに住むアラビア人の心を奮い立たせられた。
16The LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians;
17彼らはユダに攻め上ってそこに押し入り、王の家で見つかったすべての財産を、彼の子らや妻たちとともに奪い去った。そのため、彼には末っ子のエホアハズを除いては、一人の子も残されなかった。
17and they came up against Judah, broke into it, and carried away all the possessions that were found in the king’s house, including his sons and his wives, so that there was no son left to him except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
18このすべての後、主は不治の病をもって彼の腸を打たれた。
18After all this the LORD struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
19時が経ち、二年目の終わりになって、彼の病のゆえに彼の腸は抜け落ち、彼は非常に重い病で死んだ。彼の民は、その父祖たちにしたような火を彼のためにたくことはしなかった。
19In process of time, at the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died of severe diseases. His people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.
20彼は三十二歳で王となり、エルサレムで八年間治めた。彼はだれにも惜しまれずに世を去った。人々は彼をダビデの町に葬ったが、王たちの墓には入れなかった。
20He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. He departed with no one’s regret. They buried him in David’s city, but not in the tombs of the kings.
