15:1 ネバトの子ヤロブアム王の治世第十八年に、アビヤムがユダの王となり、 15:2 エルサレムで三年間王位にあった。その母は名をマアカと言い、アビシャロムの娘であった。 15:3 彼もまた父がさきに犯したすべての罪を犯し、その心も父祖ダビデの心のようには、自分の神、主と一つではなかった。 15:4 彼の神、主は、ただダビデのゆえにエルサレムにともし火をともし、跡を継ぐ息子を立てて、エルサレムを存続させられた。 15:5 ダビデが主の目にかなう正しいことを行い、ヘト人ウリヤの一件のほかは、生涯を通じて主のお命じになったすべてのことに背くことがなかったからである。 15:6 レハブアムとヤロブアムとの間には、その生涯を通じて戦いが絶えなかった。 15:7 アビヤムの他の事績、彼の行ったすべての事は、『ユダの王の歴代誌』の中に記されている。アビヤムとヤロブアムの間にも戦いが続いていた。 15:8 アビヤムは先祖と共に眠りにつき、ダビデの町に葬られた。その子アサがアビヤムに代わって王となった。
15:9 イスラエルの王ヤロブアムの治世第二十年に、ユダの王としてアサが王位につき、 15:10 エルサレムで四十一年間、王位にあった。母は名をマアカと言い、アビシャロムの娘であった。 15:11 アサは、父祖ダビデと同じように主の目にかなう正しいことを行い、 15:12 神殿男娼をその地から追放し、先祖たちの造った偶像をすべて取り除いた。 15:13 また彼は、母マアカがアシェラの憎むべき像を造ったので、彼女を太后の位から退けた。アサはその憎むべき像を切り倒し、キドロンの谷で焼き捨てた。 15:14 聖なる高台は取り除かれなかったが、アサの心はその生涯を通じて主と一つであった。 15:15 彼は父の聖別した物と自分の聖別した物、銀、金、祭具類を主の神殿に納めた。 15:16 アサとイスラエルの王バシャの間には、その生涯を通じて戦いが絶えなかった。 15:17 イスラエルの王バシャはユダに攻め上って来て、ラマに砦を築き、ユダの王アサの動きを封じようとした。 15:18 アサは、神殿と王宮の宝物庫に残るすべての銀と金を取り出して家臣たちの手にゆだね、彼らをダマスコに住むアラムの王ベン・ハダドに遣わした。その父はタブリモン、祖父はヘズヨンである。アサ王はアラムの王にこう伝えさせた。 15:19 「わたしとあなた、わたしの父とあなたの父との間には同盟が結ばれています。わたしはここに銀と金の贈り物をあなたにお届けします。イスラエルの王バシャとの同盟を直ちに破棄し、彼をわたしから離れ去らせてください。」 15:20 ベン・ハダドはアサ王の願いを入れ、配下の軍の長たちをイスラエルの町々に送り、イヨン、ダン、アベル・ベト・マアカ、キネレトの全域、およびナフタリの全土を攻略させた。 15:21 バシャはこれを聞くと、ラマの構築をやめ、ティルツァにとどまった。 15:22 アサ王はユダの人々すべてにもれなく布告し、バシャがラマの構築に用いた石材と木材を運んで来させ、それを用いて、ベニヤミンのゲバとミツパに砦を築いた。 15:23 アサの他のすべての事績、そのすべての功績、彼が行ったすべての事、この王が守りを固めた町々の事は、『ユダの王の歴代誌』に記されている。王は、年老いてから足の病にかかった。 15:24 アサは先祖と共に眠りにつき、先祖と共に父祖ダビデの町に葬られた。その子ヨシャファトがアサに代わって王となった。
15:25 ユダの王アサの治世第二年に、ヤロブアムの子ナダブがイスラエルの王となり、二年間イスラエルを治めた。 15:26 彼は主の目に悪とされることを行って、父と同じ道を歩み、イスラエルに罪を犯させた父の罪を繰り返した。 15:27 イサカルの家のアヒヤの子バシャは、彼に謀反を起こした。バシャはナダブが全イスラエルを率いてギベトンを包囲しているところを襲い、ペリシテ領ギベトンで彼を撃った。 15:28 バシャがナダブを殺し、代わって王となったのは、ユダの王アサの治世第三年のことであった。 15:29 彼は王になるとヤロブアムの家の者をすべて撃ち、ヤロブアムに属する息のある者を一人も残さず、滅ぼした。これは、主がその僕、シロの人アヒヤによって告げられた言葉のとおり、 15:30 ヤロブアムが自ら罪を犯し、またイスラエルに犯させた罪によって、イスラエルの神、主の怒りを招いたためである。 15:31 ナダブの他の事績、彼の行ったすべての事については、『イスラエルの王の歴代誌』に記されている。 15:32 アサとイスラエルの王バシャの間には、その生涯を通じて戦いが絶えなかった。
15:33 ユダの王アサの治世第三年に、アヒヤの子バシャがティルツァですべてのイスラエルの王となり、その治世は二十四年に及んだ。 15:34 彼は主の目に悪とされることを行って、ヤロブアムの道を歩み、イスラエルに罪を犯させたヤロブアムの罪を繰り返した。
15:1 In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam became king over Judah. 15:2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Maachah the granddaughter of Abishalom. 15:3 And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; his heart was not loyal to the Lord his God, as was the heart of his father David. 15:4 Nevertheless for David's sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, by setting up his son after him and by establishing Jerusalem; 15:5 because David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from anything that He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. 15:6 And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life. 15:7 Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam. 15:8 So Abijam rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then Asa his son reigned in his place. 15:9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa became king over Judah. 15:10 And he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His grandmother's name was Maachah the granddaughter of Abishalom. 15:11 Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as did his father David. 15:12 And he banished the perverted persons from the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. 15:13 Also he removed Maachah his grandmother from being queen mother, because she had made an obscene image of Asherah. And Asa cut down her obscene image and burned it by the Brook Kidron. 15:14 But the high places were not removed. Nevertheless Asa's heart was loyal to the Lord all his days. 15:15 He also brought into the house of the Lord the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which he himself had dedicated: silver and gold and utensils. 15:16 Now there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days. 15:17 And Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah. 15:18 Then Asa took all the silver and gold that was left in the treasuries of the house of the Lord and the treasuries of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants. And King Asa sent them to Ben-Hadad the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying, 15:19 "Let there be a treaty between you and me, as there was between my father and your father. See, I have sent you a present of silver and gold. Come and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me." 15:20 So Ben-Hadad heeded King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel. He attacked Ijon, Dan, Abel Beth Maachah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali. 15:21 Now it happened, when Baasha heard it, that he stopped building Ramah, and remained in Tirzah. 15:22 Then King Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was exempted. And they took away the stones and timber of Ramah, which Baasha had used for building; and with them King Asa built Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah. 15:23 The rest of all the acts of Asa, all his might, all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet. 15:24 So Asa rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father. Then Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place. 15:25 Now Nadab the son of Jeroboam became king over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years. 15:26 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin by which he had made Israel sin. 15:27 Then Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him. And Baasha killed him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, while Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon. 15:28 Baasha killed him in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place. 15:29 And it was so, when he became king, that he killed all the house of Jeroboam. He did not leave to Jeroboam anyone that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord which He had spoken by His servant Ahijah the Shilonite, 15:30 because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he had sinned and by which he had made Israel sin, because of his provocation with which he had provoked the Lord God of Israel to anger. 15:31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel? 15:32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days. 15:33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah became king over all Israel in Tirzah, and reigned twenty-four years. 15:34 He did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin by which he had made Israel sin.
7:53 〔人々はおのおの家へ帰って行った。
8:1 イエスはオリーブ山へ行かれた。 8:2 朝早く、再び神殿の境内に入られると、民衆が皆、御自分のところにやって来たので、座って教え始められた。 8:3 そこへ、律法学者たちやファリサイ派の人々が、姦通の現場で捕らえられた女を連れて来て、真ん中に立たせ、 8:4 イエスに言った。「先生、この女は姦通をしているときに捕まりました。 8:5 こういう女は石で打ち殺せと、モーセは律法の中で命じています。ところで、あなたはどうお考えになりますか。」 8:6 イエスを試して、訴える口実を得るために、こう言ったのである。イエスはかがみ込み、指で地面に何か書き始められた。 8:7 しかし、彼らがしつこく問い続けるので、イエスは身を起こして言われた。「あなたたちの中で罪を犯したことのない者が、まず、この女に石を投げなさい。」 8:8 そしてまた、身をかがめて地面に書き続けられた。 8:9 これを聞いた者は、年長者から始まって、一人また一人と、立ち去ってしまい、イエスひとりと、真ん中にいた女が残った。 8:10 イエスは、身を起こして言われた。「婦人よ、あの人たちはどこにいるのか。だれもあなたを罪に定めなかったのか。」 8:11 女が、「主よ、だれも」と言うと、イエスは言われた。「わたしもあなたを罪に定めない。行きなさい。これからは、もう罪を犯してはならない。」〕
7:53 And everyone went to his own house.
8:1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 8:2 Now early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them. 8:3 Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, 8:4 they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. 8:5 "Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?" 8:6 This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear. 8:7 So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first." 8:8 And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. 8:9 Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 8:10 When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?" 8:11 She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more."
