| 21-1 |
And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. |
さてエズレルびとナボテはエズレルにぶどう畑をもっていたが、サマリヤの王アハブの宮殿のかたわらにあったので、 |
| 21-2 |
And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house; and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it: or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money. |
アハブはナボテに言った、「あなたのぶどう畑はわたしの家の近くにあるので、わたしに譲って青物畑にさせてください。その代り、わたしはそれよりも良いぶどう畑をあなたにあげましょう。もしお望みならば、その価を金でさしあげましょう」。 |
| 21-3 |
And Naboth said to Ahab, Jehovah forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee. |
ナボテはアハブに言った、「わたしは先祖の嗣業をあなたに譲ることを断じていたしません」。 |
| 21-4 |
And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread. |
アハブはエズレルびとナボテが言った言葉を聞いて、悲しみ、かつ怒って家にはいった。ナボテが「わたしは先祖の嗣業をあなたに譲りません」と言ったからである。アハブは床に伏し、顔をそむけて食事をしなかった。 |
| 21-5 |
But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread? |
妻イゼベルは彼の所にきて、言った、「あなたは何をそんなに悲しんで、食事をなさらないのですか」。 |
| 21-6 |
And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard. |
彼は彼女に言った、「わたしはエズレルびとナボテに『あなたのぶどう畑を金で譲ってください。もし望むならば、その代りに、ほかのぶどう畑をあげよう』と言ったが、彼は答えて『わたしはぶどう畑を譲りません』と言ったからだ」。 |
| 21-7 |
And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thy heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite. |
妻イゼベルは彼に言った、「あなたが今イスラエルを治めているのですか。起きて食事をし、元気を出してください。わたしがエズレルびとナボテのぶどう畑をあなたにあげます」。 |
| 21-8 |
So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, and that dwelt with Naboth. |
彼女はアハブの名で手紙を書き、彼の印をおして、ナボテと同じように、その町に住んでいる長老たちと身分の尊い人々に、その手紙を送った。 |
| 21-9 |
And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people: |
彼女はその手紙に書きしるした、「断食を布告して、ナボテを民のうちの高い所にすわらせ、 |
| 21-10 |
and set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst curse God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him to death. |
またふたりのよこしまな者を彼の前にすわらせ、そして彼を訴えて、『あなたは神と王とをのろった』と言わせなさい。こうして彼を引き出し、石で撃ち殺しなさい」。 |
| 21-11 |
And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them. |
その町の人々、すなわち、その町に住んでいる長老たちおよび身分の尊い人々は、イゼベルが言いつかわしたようにした。彼女が彼らに送った手紙に書きしるされていたように、 |
| 21-12 |
They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people. |
彼らは断食を布告して、ナボテを民のうちの高い所にすわらせた。 |
| 21-13 |
And the two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him: and the base fellows bare witness against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did curse God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones. |
そしてふたりのよこしまな者がはいってきて、その前にすわり、そのよこしまな者たちが民の前でナボテを訴えて、「ナボテは神と王とをのろった」と言った。そこで人々は彼を町の外に引き出し、石で撃ち殺した。 |
| 21-14 |
Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead. |
そして人々はイゼベルに「ナボテは石で撃ち殺された」と言い送った。 |
| 21-15 |
And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead. |
イゼベルはナボテが石で撃ち殺されたのを聞くとすぐ、アハブに言った、「立って、あのエズレルびとナボテが、あなたに金で譲ることを拒んだぶどう畑を取りなさい。ナボテは生きていません。死んだのです」。 |
| 21-16 |
16?And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it. |
アハブはナボテの死んだのを聞くとすぐ、立って、エズレルびとナボテのぶどう畑を取るために、そこへ下っていった。 |
| 21-17 |
And the word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, |
そのとき、主の言葉がテシベびとエリヤに臨んだ、 |
| 21-18 |
Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwelleth in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to take possession of it. |
「立って、下って行き、サマリヤにいるイスラエルの王アハブに会いなさい。彼はナボテのぶどう畑を取ろうとしてそこへ下っている。 |
| 21-19 |
And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, Hast thou killed and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine. |
あなたは彼に言わなければならない、『主はこう仰せられる、あなたは殺したのか、また取ったのか』と。また彼に言いなさい、『主はこう仰せられる、犬がナボテの血をなめた場所で、犬があなたの血をなめるであろう』」。 |
| 21-20 |
And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee, because thou hast sold thyself to do that which is evil in the sight of Jehovah. |
アハブはエリヤに言った、「わが敵よ、ついに、わたしを見つけたのか」。彼は言った、「見つけました。あなたが主の目の前に悪を行うことに身をゆだねたゆえ、 |
| 21-21 |
Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will utterly sweep thee away and will cut off from Ahab every man-child, and him that is shut up and him that is left at large in Israel: |
わたしはあなたに災を下し、あなたを全く滅ぼし、アハブに属する男は、イスラエルにいてつながれた者も、自由な者もことごとく断ち、 |
| 21-22 |
and I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and hast made Israel to sin. |
またあなたの家をネバテの子ヤラベアムの家のようにし、アヒヤの子バアシャの家のようにするでしょう。これはあなたがわたしを怒らせた怒りのゆえ、またイスラエルに罪を犯させたゆえです。 |
| 21-23 |
And of Jezebel also spake Jehovah, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel. |
イゼベルについて、主はまた言われました、『犬がエズレルの地域でイゼベルを食うであろう』と。 |
| 21-24 |
Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the birds of the heavens eat. |
アハブに属する者は、町で死ぬ者を犬が食い、野で死ぬ者を空の鳥が食うでしょう」。 |
| 21-25 |
(But there was none like unto Ahab, who did sell himself to do that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up. |
アハブのように主の目の前に悪を行うことに身をゆだねた者はなかった。その妻イゼベルが彼をそそのかしたのである。 |
| 21-26 |
And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom Jehovah cast out before the children of Israel.) |
彼は主がイスラエルの人々の前から追い払われたアモリびとがしたように偶像に従って、はなはだ憎むべき事を行った。 |
| 21-27 |
And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly. |
アハブはこれらの言葉を聞いた時、衣を裂き、荒布を身にまとい、食を断ち、荒布に伏し、打ちしおれて歩いた。 |
| 21-28 |
And the word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, |
この時、主の言葉がテシベびとエリヤに臨んだ、 |
| 21-29 |
Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but in his son’s days will I bring the evil upon his house. |
「アハブがわたしの前にへりくだっているのを見たか。彼がわたしの前にへりくだっているゆえ、わたしは彼の世には災を下さない。その子の世に災をその家に下すであろう」。 |
