1Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
1アハズヤの母アタルヤは、自分の息子が死んだのを見ると、立ち上がって王家の子孫をすべて滅ぼした。
2But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king's sons that were slain, even him and his nurse, and put them in the bed-chamber; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
2しかし、ヨラム王の娘でアハズヤの姉妹であるエホシェバは、アハズヤの息子ヨアシュを取り、殺されようとしていた王の息子たちの中から、彼とその乳母をこっそり連れ出して寝室に入れた。こうして彼らは彼をアタルヤから隠したので、彼は殺されなかった。
3And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years; and Athaliah reigned over the land.
3彼は彼女とともに主の家に六年間隠れていた。その間、アタルヤがその地を治めていた。
4And in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains over hundreds, of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the LORD; and he made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the LORD, and showed them the king's son.
4第七年に、エホヤダは人を遣わしてカリ人と護衛兵の百人隊長たちを呼び寄せ、彼らを主の家の自分のところに連れて来た。彼は彼らと契約を結び、主の家で彼らに誓いを立てさせ、王の息子を彼らに見せた。
5And he commanded them, saying: 'This is the thing that ye shall do: a third part of you, that come in on the sabbath, and that keep the watch of the king's house —
5彼は彼らに命じて言った。「あなたがたのすべきことはこれである。安息日に入って来るあなたがたの三分の一は、王の家の見張りをせよ。
6now another third part was at the gate Sur, and another third part at the gate behind the guard — shall keep the watch of the house, and be a barrier.
6三分の一はスルの門に、残る三分の一は護衛兵の後ろの門につけ。こうして王宮を厳重に守れ。
7And the other two parts of you, even all that go forth on the sabbath, shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD about the king.
7安息日に出て行くあなたがたの二つの部隊、すなわちすべての者は、王の周りで主の家の見張りをせよ。
8And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he that cometh within the ranks, let him be slain; and be ye with the king when he goeth out, and when he cometh in.'
8各自、武器を手にして王を取り囲め。隊列に近づく者は殺せ。王が出る時も入る時も、王とともにいよ。」
9And the captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they took every man his men, those that were to come in on the sabbath, with those that were to go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
9百人隊長たちは、祭司エホヤダが命じたすべてのことにしたがって行った。各自が自分の部下たち、すなわち安息日に入って来る者たちと、安息日に出て行く者たちを連れて、祭司エホヤダのところに来た。
10And the priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spear and shields that had been king David's, which were in the house of the LORD.
10祭司は、主の家にあったダビデ王の槍と盾を百人隊長たちに渡した。
11And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, by the king round about.
11護衛兵は、各自が武器を手に持ち、家の右側から家の左側まで、祭壇と家に沿って王の周りに立った。
12Then he brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown and the insignia; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said: 'Long live the king.'
12それから彼は王の息子を連れ出し、彼に王冠をかぶせ、彼にあかしを授けた。彼らは彼を王とし、彼に油を注いだ。そして彼らは手をたたいて、「王、万歳！」と言った。
13And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the house of the LORD.
13アタルヤは護衛兵と民の音を聞くと、主の家にいる民のところへ来た。
14And she looked, and, behold, the king stood on the platform, as the manner was, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried: 'Treason, treason.'
14彼女が見ると、王は習慣にしたがって柱のそばに立っており、百人隊長たちとラッパを吹く者たちが王のそばにいた。その地のすべての民は喜び、ラッパを吹き鳴らしていた。するとアタルヤは自分の服を引き裂き、「反逆だ！反逆だ！」と叫んだ。
15And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them: 'Have her forth between the ranks; and him that followeth her slay with the sword'; for the priest said: 'Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD.'
15祭司エホヤダは軍の上に立つ百人隊長たちに命じて、彼らに言った。「彼女を隊列の外へ連れ出せ。彼女に従う者は剣で殺せ。」祭司は、「主の家で彼女を殺してはならない」と言ったからである。
16So they made way for her; and she went by the way of the horses' entry to the king's house; and there was she slain.
16彼らはアタルヤを捕らえ、馬の出入口を通って王宮へ連れ出し、そこで殺した。
17And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD'S people; between the king also and the people.
17エホヤダは、主と王および民との間に、彼らが主の民となるという契約を結ばせた。また、王と民との間にも契約を結ばせた。
18And all the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and broke it down; his altars and his images broke they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the LORD.
18その地のすべての民はバアルの神殿へ行って打ち壊し、祭壇と像を徹底して砕き、祭壇の前でバアルの祭司マタンを殺した。エホヤダは主の家に監督を置いた。
19And he took the captains over hundreds, and the Carites, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the guard unto the king's house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.
19彼は百人隊長たち、カリ人、護衛兵、およびその地のすべての民を連れ、彼らは王を主の家から連れ下り、護衛兵の門を通って王の家に来た。王は王たちの王座に座った。
20So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet; and they slew Athaliah with the sword at the king's house.
20こうしてその地のすべての民は喜び、町は平穏であった。彼らはアタルヤを王の家で剣にかけて殺していた。
21(12-1) Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.
21エホアシュが王となったときは七歳であった。
