1そこで王は人を遣わし、彼らはユダとエルサレムのすべての長老たちを彼のもとに集めた。
1And they brought the king word again what she had said. And he sent: and all the ancients of Juda and Jerusalem were assembled to him.
2王は主の家へ上って行き、ユダのすべての男たち、エルサレムのすべての住民、祭司たち、預言者たち、および小さい者から大きい者まで、すべての民も彼とともに行った。彼は主の家で見つかった契約の書のすべての言葉を彼らの耳に読み聞かせた。
2And the king went up to the temple of the Lord, and all the men of Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, the priests and the prophets, and all the people both little and great: and in the hearing of them all he read all the words of the book of the covenant, which was found in the house of the Lord.
3王は柱のそばに立ち、主の御前で契約を結んだ。心を尽くし、命を尽くして主に従い、主の戒めとあかしと定めを守り、この書に記された契約の言葉を実行することを誓った。すべての民もその契約に加わった。
3And the king stood upon the step: and made a covenant with the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies and his ceremonies, with all their heart, and with all their soul, and to perform the words of this covenant, which were written in that book: and the people agreed to the covenant.
4王は大祭司ヒルキヤ、第二位の祭司たち、および門を守る者たちに命じて、バアルのため、アシェラのため、そして天のすべての軍勢のために造られたすべての器を主の神殿から持ち出させた。彼はそれらをエルサレムの外のキデロンの野で焼き、その灰をベテルへ運んだ。
4And the king commanded Helcias the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers, to cast out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that had been made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burnt them without Jerusalem in the valley of Cedron, and he carried the ashes of them to Bethel.
5彼は、ユダの王たちがユダの町々の高き所とエルサレムの周辺で香をたくために任命した、偶像に仕える祭司たちを取り除き、またバアル、太陽、月、惑星、天のすべての軍勢に香をたく者たちを取り除いた。
5And he destroyed the soothsayers, whom the kings of Juda had appointed to sacrifice in the high places in the cities of Juda, and round about Jerusalem: them also that burnt incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to the twelve signs, and to all the host of heaven.
6彼は主の家からアシェラ像をエルサレムの外のキデロンの川に持ち出し、キデロンの川でそれを焼き、粉々に打ち砕いてちりにし、そのちりを一般の民の墓の上にまき散らした。
6And he caused the grove to be carried out from the house of the Lord without Jerusalem to the valley of Cedron, and he burnt it there, and reduced it to dust, and cast the dust upon the graves of the common people.
7彼は主の家にあった神殿男娼の家を取り壊した。そこは女たちがアシェラのために掛け布を織っていたところである。
7He destroyed also the pavilions of the effeminate, which were in the house of the Lord, for which the women wove as it were little dwellings for the grove.
8彼はユダの町々からすべての祭司を連れ出し、ゲバからベエルシェバに至るまで、祭司たちが香をたいていた高き所を汚した。彼は町の長官ヨシュアの門の入り口にある、門の高き所を打ち壊した。それは町の門に入る人の左手にあった。
8And he gathered together all the priests out of the cities of Juda: and he defiled the high places, where the priests offered sacrifice, from Gabaa to Bersabee: and he broke down the altars of the gates that were in the entering in of the gate of Josue governor of tile city, which was on the left hand of the gate of the city.
9しかし、高き所の祭司たちはエルサレムにある主の祭壇には上らず、その兄弟たちの間で種なしパンを食べた。
9However the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem: but only ate of the unleavened bread among their brethren.
10彼はまた、ベン・ヒンノムの谷にあるトフェテを汚し、だれもモレクのために自分の息子や娘を火の中を通らせることがないようにした。
10And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom: that no man should consecrate there his son or his daughter through fire to Moloch.
11彼は、ユダの王たちが太陽にささげた馬を、主の家の入り口から、境内にあった宦官ナタン・メレクの部屋のそばから取り除き、太陽の戦車を火で焼いた。
11And he took away the horses which the kings of Juda had given to the sun, at the entering in of the temple of the Lord, near the chamber of Nathanmelech the eunuch, who was in Pharurim: and he burnt the chariots of the sun with fire.
12ユダの王たちが造ったアハズの上の部屋の屋上にある祭壇と、マナセが主の家の二つの庭に造った祭壇を、王は打ち壊し、そこからそれらを砕き下ろし、そのちりをキデロンの川に投げ捨てた。
12And the altars that were upon the top of the upper chamber of Achaz, which the kings of Juda had made, and the altars which Manasses had made in the two courts of the temple of the Lord, the king broke down: and he ran from thence, and cast the ashes of them into the torrent Cedron.
13イスラエルの王ソロモンがシドン人の忌むべきものアシュトレテのため、モアブの忌むべきものケモシュのため、アンモンの子らの忌むべきものミルコムのために建てた、エルサレムの前、滅びの山の右側にあった高き所を、王は汚した。
13The high places also that were at Jerusalem on the right side of the Mount of Offence, O which Solomon king of Israel had built to Astaroth the idol of the Sidonians, and to Chamos the scandal of Moab, and to Melchom the abomination of the children of Ammon, the king defiled.
14彼は石の柱を粉々に打ち砕き、アシェラ像を切り倒し、その場所を人の骨で満たした。
14And he broke in pieces the statues, and cut down the groves: and he filled their places with the bones of dead men.
15イスラエルに罪を犯させたネバテの息子ヤロブアムが造った、ベテルにある祭壇、その高き所について言えば、彼はその祭壇と高き所を打ち壊し、高き所を焼いて粉々に打ち砕いてちりにし、アシェラ像を焼いた。
15Moreover the altar also that was at Bethel, and the high place, which Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, had made: both the altar, and the high place he broke down and burnt, and reduced to powder, and burnt the grove.
16ヨシヤが振り向くと、山に墓が見えた。そこで人を遣わし、墓から骨を取り出して祭壇の上で焼き、祭壇を汚した。これは、これらのことを告げた神の人が宣べた主の言葉のとおりであった。
16And as Josias turned himself, he saw there the sepulchres that were in the mount: and he sent and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burnt them upon the altar, and defiled it according to the word of the Lord, which the man of God spoke, who had foretold these things.
17それから彼は、「わたしが見ているこの記念碑は何だ」と言った。 町の男たちは彼に告げた。「それはユダから来て、あなたがベテルの祭壇に対して行ったこれらのことを告げ知らせた神の人の墓です。」
17And he said: What is that monument which I see? And the men of that city answered: It is the sepulchre of the man of God, who came from Juda, and foretold these things which thou hast done upon the altar of Bethel.
18彼は言った。「そのままにしておけ。だれも彼の骨を動かしてはならない。」そこで彼らは、サマリアから来た預言者の骨とともに、彼の骨をそのままにしておいた。
18And he said: Let him alone, let no man move his bones. So his bones were left untouched with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.
19イスラエルの王たちが造って主を怒らせた、サマリアの町々にあった高き所のすべての家も、ヨシヤは取り除き、彼がベテルで行ったすべてのことと同様にそれらに対して行った。
19Moreover all the temples of the high places, which were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord, Josias took away: and he did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
20彼はそこにいた高き所のすべての祭司を祭壇の上で殺し、その上で人の骨を焼き、それからエルサレムへ帰った。
20And he slew all the priests of the high places, that were there, upon the altars: and he burnt men’s bones upon them: and returned to Jerusalem.
21王はすべての民に命じて言った。「この契約の書に書かれているように、あなたがたの神、主に過越の祭りを守りなさい。」
21And he commanded all the people, saying: Keep the phase to the Lord your God, according as it is written in the book of this covenant.
22イスラエルをさばいた士師たちの時代から、イスラエルの王たちの時代、およびユダの王たちの時代を通じて、このような過越の祭りが守られたことはなかったからである。
22Now there was no such a phase kept from the days of the judges, who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Juda,
23しかし、ヨシヤ王の第十八年に、この過越の祭りがエルサレムで主に対して守られた。
23As was this phase that was kept to the Lord in Jerusalem, in the eighteenth year of king Josias.
24さらにヨシヤは、霊媒、口寄せ、テラフィム 、偶像、およびユダの地とエルサレムに見られたすべての忌むべきものを取り除いた。祭司ヒルキヤが主の家で見つけた書に記された律法の言葉を実行するためであった。
24Moreover the diviners by spirits, and soothsayers, and the figures of idols, and the uncleannesses, and the abominations, that had been in the land of Juda, and Jerusalem, Josias took away: that he might perform the words of the law, that were written in the book which Helcias the priest had found in the temple of the Lord.
25ヨシヤのように、心を尽くし、命を尽くし、力を尽くして、モーセの律法のすべてに従い、主に立ち返った王は、彼の前にも後にもいなかった。
25There was no king before him like unto him, that returned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with ail his strength, according to all the law of Moses: neither after him did there arise any like him.
26それにもかかわらず、主はその燃える大いなる激怒から立ち返られなかった。マナセが主を怒らせたすべての挑発のために、主の怒りはユダに向かって燃え上がっていたからである。
26But yet the Lord turned not away from the wrath of his great indignation, wherewith his anger was kindled against Juda: because of the provocations, wherewith Manasses had provoked him.
27主は言われた。「わたしはイスラエルを取り除いたように、ユダもわたしの前から取り除き、わたしが選んだこの町エルサレムと、『わたしの名がそこにある』とわたしが言った家を捨てる。」
27And the Lord said: I will remove Juda also from before my face, as I have removed Israel: and I will cast off this city Jerusalem, which I chose, and the house, of which I said: My name shall be there.
28ヨシヤのその他の事績と、彼が行ったすべてのことは、ユダの王たちの年代記の書に記されているではないか。
28Now the rest of the acts of Josias, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
29その時代、エジプトの王ファラオ・ネコが、アッシリアの王と戦うためユーフラテス川へ向かった。ヨシヤ王はこれを迎え撃ったが、ファラオ・ネコはメギドで彼を殺した。
29In his days Pharao Nechao king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josias went to meet him: and was slain at Mageddo, when he had seen him.
30彼のしもべたちは、彼が死んだままメギドから戦車で彼を運び、エルサレムに連れて来て彼自身の墓に葬った。その地の民はヨシヤの息子エホアハズを取り、彼に油を注いで彼の父の代わりに王とした。
30And his servants carried him dead from Mageddo: and they brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in Iris own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias: and they anointed him, and made him king in his father’s stead.
31エホアハズが王となったときは二十三歳で、エルサレムで三か月間治めた。彼の母の名はハムタルといい、リブナのエレミヤの娘であった。
31Joachaz was three and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Amital, the daughter of Jeremias of Lobna.
32彼は彼の先祖が行ったすべてのことに従って、主の目に悪とされることを行った。
32And he did evil before the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done.
33ファラオ・ネコはハマトの地リブラで彼を捕らえ、エルサレムで王として治められないようにした。そしてその地に、銀百タラント と金一タラントの貢ぎを課した。
33And Pharao Nechao bound him at Rebla, which is in the land of Emath, that he should not reign in Jerusalem: and he set a fine upon the land, of a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
34ファラオ・ネコはヨシヤの息子エリアキムを、彼の父ヨシヤの代わりに王とし、彼の名をエホヤキムと改めさせた。しかし彼はエホアハズを連れ去り、彼はエジプトへ行き、そこで死んだ。
34And Pharao Nechao made Eliacim the son of Josias king in the room of Josias his father: and turned his name to Joakim. And he took Joachaz away and carried him into Egypt, and he died there.
35エホヤキムはファラオに銀と金を与えたが、彼はファラオの命令にしたがって銀を与えるためにその地に税を課した。彼はエジプトの王ファラオに与えるために、その地の民の各人から、その評価にしたがって銀と金を取り立てた。
35And Joakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharao, after he had taxed the land for every man, to contribute according to the commandment of Pharao: and he exacted both the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every man according to his ability: to give to Pharao Nechao.
36エホヤキムが王となったときは二十五歳で、エルサレムで十一年間治めた。彼の母の名はゼビダといい、ルマのペダヤの娘であった。
36Joakim was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Zebida the daughter of Phadaia of Ruma.
37彼は彼の先祖が行ったすべてのことに従って、主の目に悪とされることを行った。
37And he did evil before the Lord according to all that his fathers had done.
