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。
1The king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
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。
2The king went up to the LORD’s house, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him—with the priests, the prophets, and all the people, both small and great; and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the LORD’s house.
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。
3The king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the LORD to walk after the LORD and to keep his commandments, his testimonies, and his statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book; and all 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。
4The king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out of the LORD’s temple all the vessels that were made for Baal, for the Asherah, and for all the army of the sky; and he burned them outside of Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried their ashes 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。
5He got rid of the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah and in the places around Jerusalem; those also who burned incense to Baal, to the sun, to the moon, to the planets, and to all the army of the sky.
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。
6He brought out the Asherah from the LORD’s house, outside of Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and beat it to dust, and cast its dust on 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 broke down the houses of the male shrine prostitutes that were in the LORD’s house, where the women wove hangings for the Asherah.
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。
8He brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba; and he broke down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man’s left hand at 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。
9Nevertheless the priests of the high places didn’t come up to the LORD’s altar in Jerusalem, but they ate unleavened bread among their brothers.
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。
10He defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
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。
11He took away the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun, at the entrance of the LORD’s house, by the room of Nathan Melech the officer who was in the court; and he burned 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。
12The king broke down the altars that were on the roof of the upper room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the LORD’s house, and beat them down from there, and cast their dust into the brook Kidron.
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 king defiled the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mountain of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon.
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。
14He broke in pieces the pillars, cut down the Asherah poles, and filled their places with men’s bones.
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 that was at Bethel and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he broke down; and he burned the high place and beat it to dust, and burned the Asherah.
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。
16As Josiah turned himself, he spied the tombs that were there in the mountain; and he sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burned them on the altar, and defiled it, according to the LORD’s word which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed 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。」
17Then he said, “What monument is that which I see?” The men of the city told him, “It is the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things that you have done against 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。
18He said, “Let him be! Let no one move his bones.” So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet who 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。
19All the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the LORD to anger, Josiah took away, and 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。
20He killed all the priests of the high places that were there, on the altars, and burned men’s bones on them; and he 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。」
21The king commanded all the people, saying, “Keep the Passover to the LORD your God, as it is written in this book of the 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。
22Surely there was not kept such a Passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
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。
23but in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover was kept to the LORD in Jerusalem.
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, Josiah removed those who had familiar spirits, the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the LORD’s house.
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 like him before him, who turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; and there was none like him who arose after 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。
26Notwithstanding, the LORD didn’t turn from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocation with which Manasseh 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。」
27The LORD said, “I will also remove Judah out of my sight, as I have removed Israel; and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, 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 Josiah, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
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 Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates; and King Josiah went against him, but Pharaoh Necoh killed him at Megiddo when he saw 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。
30His servants carried him dead in a chariot from Megiddo, brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. The people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s place.
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。
31Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
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。
32He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, 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。
33Pharaoh Necoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of one 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。
34Pharaoh Necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim; but he took Jehoahaz away, and he came to Egypt and 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。
35Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh. He exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, from everyone according to his assessment, to give it to Pharaoh Necoh.
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。
36Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
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。
37He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that his fathers had done.
