Ezra 8
1 These are the leaders of their ancestors' families who left Babylon with me during the reign of King Artaxerxes.
アルタシヤスタ王の治世に我とともにバビロンより上り來りし者等の宗家の長およびその系譜は左のごとし
2 Of the descendants of Phinehas, Gershom. Of the descendants of Ithamar, Daniel. Of the descendants of David, Hattush,
ピネハスの子孫の中にてはゲルシヨム、イタマルの子孫の中にてはダニエル、ダビデの子孫の中にてはハットシ
3 who was of the descendants of Shecaniah, who was from the descendants of Parosh; and Zechariah, and with him there were 150 males listed in the record of his genealogy.
シカニヤの子孫の中パロシの子孫の中にてはゼカリヤ彼と偕にありて名簿に載られたる男子百五十人
4 Of the descendants of Pahath-Moab, Eliehoenai son of Zerahiah and with him were two hundred males.
パハテモアブの子孫の中にてはゼラヒヤの子エリヨエナイ彼と偕なる男二百人
5 Of the descendants of Zattu, Ben Jahaziel and with him were three hundred males.
シカニヤの子孫の中にてはヤハジエルの子 彼と偕なる男三百人
6 Of the descendants of Adin, Ebed son of Jonathan and with him were listed fifty males.
アデンの子孫の中にてはヨナタンの子エベデ彼とともなる男五十人
7 Of the descendants of Elam, Jeshaiah son of Athaliah and with him were listed seventy males.
エラムの子孫の中にてはアタリヤの子ヱサヤ彼と偕なる男七十人
8 Of the descendants of Shephatiah, Zebadiah son of Michael and with him were listed eighty males.
シパテヤの子孫の中にてはミカエルの子ゼバデヤ彼とともなる男八十人
9 Of the descendants of Joab, Obadiah son of Jehiel and with him were listed 218 males.
ヨハブの子孫の中にてはヱヒエルの子オバデヤ彼とともなる男二百十八人
10 Of the descendants of Bani, Shelomith son of Josiphiah and with him were listed 160 males.
シロミテの子孫の中にてはヨシピアの子 彼とともなる男百六十人
11 Of the descendants of Bebai, Zechariah son of Bebai and with him were listed twenty-eight males.
ベバイの子孫の中にてはベバイの子ゼカリヤ彼と偕なる男二十八人
12 Of the descendants of Azgad, Johanan son of Hakkatan and with him were listed 110 males.
アズガデの子孫の中にてはハッカタンの子ヨハナン彼とともなる男百十人
13 Those of the descendants of Adonikam came later. These were their names: Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah and with them came sixty males.
アドニカムの子孫の中の後なる者等あり 其名をエリペレテ、ユエル、シマヤといふ彼らと偕なる男六十人
14 Of the descendants of Bigvai, Uthai and Zaccur and with him were listed seventy males.
ビグワイの子孫の中にてはウタイおよびザブデ彼等とともなる男七十人
15 I gathered the travelers at the canal that goes to Ahava, and we camped there three days. I examined the people and priests, but could not find any descendants of Levi there.
我かれらをアハワに流るる所の河の邊に集めて三日が間かしこに天幕を張居たりしが我民と祭司とを閲せしにレビの子孫一人も其處に居ざりければ
16 So I sent for Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, and Elnathan and Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam—who were leaders—and for Joiarib and Elnathan—who were teachers.
すなはち人を遣てエリエゼル、アリエル、シマヤ、エルナタン、ヤリブ、エルナタン、ナタン、ゼカリヤ、メシユラムなどいふ長たる人々を招きまた敎晦を施こす所のヨヤリブおよびエルナタンを招けり
17 Next I sent them to Iddo, the leader in Kasiphia. I told them what to say to Iddo and his relatives, the temple servants living in Kasiphia, that is, to send to us servants for the house of God.
而して我カシピアといふ處の長イドの許に彼らを出し遣せり 即ち我カシピアといふ處にをるイドとその兄弟なるネテニ人に告ぐべき詞を之が口に授け我等の神の室のために役者を我儕に携へ來れと言けるが
18 So they sent us by our God's good hand a man named Sherebiah, a prudent man. He was a descendant of Mahli son of Levi son of Israel. He came with eighteen sons and brothers.
我らの神よく我儕を助けたまひて彼等つひにイスラエルの子レビの子マヘリの子孫イシケセルを我らに携さへ來り又セレビヤといふ者およびその子等と兄弟十八人
19 With him came Hashabiah. There also were Jeshaiah, one of the sons of Merari, with his brothers and their sons, twenty men in all.
ハシヤビヤならびにメラリの子孫のヱサヤおよびその兄弟とその子等二十人を携へ
20 Of those assigned to serve in the temple, whom David and his officials gave to serve the Levites: 220, each of them assigned by name.
またネテニ人すなはちダビデとその牧伯等がレビ人に事へしむるために設けたりしネテニ人二百二十人を携へ來れり 此等の者は皆その名を掲げられたり
21 Then I proclaimed a fast at the Ahava Canal to humble ourselves before God, to seek a straight path from him for us, our little ones, and all our possessions.
斯て我かしこなるアハワの河の邊にて斷食を宣傳へ我儕の神の前にて我儕身を卑し我らと我らの小き者と我らの諸の所有のために正しき途を示されんことを之に求む
22 I was ashamed to ask the king for an army or horsemen to protect us against enemies along the way, since we had said to the king, 'The hand of our God is on all who seek him for good, but his might and wrath are on all who forget him.'
其は我儕さきに王に告て我らの神は己を求むる者を凡て善く助けまた己を棄る者にはその權能と震怒とをあらはしたまふと言しに因て我道路の敵を防ぎて我儕を護るべき歩兵と騎兵とを王に請ふを羞ぢたればなり
23 So we fasted and sought God about this, and we pled to him.
かくてこのことを我ら斷食して我儕の神に求めけるに其祈禱を容たまへり
24 Next I selected twelve men from the priestly officials: Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers.
時に我祭司の長十二人即ちセレビヤ、ハシヤビヤおよびその兄弟十人を之とともに擇び
25 I weighed out for them silver, gold, and the objects and offerings for the house of God that the king, his counselors and officials, and all Israel had freely offered.
金銀および器皿すなはち王とその議官とその牧伯と彼處の一切のイスラエル人とが我らの神の室のために獻げたる奉納物を量りて彼らに付せり
26 So I weighed into their hand 650 talents of silver, one hundred talents of silver objects, one hundred talents of gold,
その量りて彼らの手に付せし者は銀六百五十タラント銀の器百タラント金百タラントなりき
27 twenty gold bowls that were together valued at one thousand darics, and two well-polished bronze vessels as precious as gold.
また金の大斝二十あり一千ダリクに當るまた光り輝く精銅の器二箇あり その貴きこと金のごとし
28 Then I said to them, “You are consecrated to Yahweh, and these objects also, and the silver and gold are a freewill offering to Yahweh, the God of your ancestors.
而して我かれらに言り汝等はヱホバの聖者なり 此器皿もまた聖し又この金銀は汝らの先祖の神ヱホバに奉まつりし誠意よりの禮物なり
29 Watch over them and keep them until you weigh them out before the priestly officials, Levites, and leaders of the ancestors' clans of Israel in Jerusalem in the rooms of God's house.”
汝等ヱルサレムに至りてヱホバの家の室に於て祭司レビ人の長等およびイスラエルの宗家の首等の前に量るまで之を伺ひ守るべしと
30 The priests and the Levites accepted the weighed silver, gold, and the objects in order to take them to Jerusalem, to our God's house.
是に於て祭司およびレビ人その金銀および器皿をヱルサレムなる我らの神の室に携へゆかんとて其重にしたがひて之を受取れり
31 We went out from the Ahava Canal on the twelfth day of the first month to go to Jerusalem. The hand of our God was on us; he protected us from the hand of the enemy and the ones who wished to ambush us along the road.
我ら正月の十二日にアハワの河邊を出たちてヱルサレム赴きけるが我らの神その手を我らの上におき我らを救ひて敵の手また路に伏て窺ふ者の手に陷らしめたまはざりき
32 So we entered Jerusalem and stayed there for three days.
我儕すなはちヱルサレムに至りて三日かしこに居しが
33 Then on the fourth day the silver, gold, and objects were weighed out in our God's house into the hand of Meremoth son of Uriah the priest, and with him were Eleazar son of Phinehas, Jozabad son of Jeshua, and Noadiah son of Binnui the Levite.
四日にいたりて我らの神の室においてその金銀および器皿をウリヤの子祭司メレモテの手に量り付せり ピネハスの子エレアザル彼に副ふ又ヱシユアの子ヨザバデおよびビンヌイの子ノアデヤの二人のレビ人かれらに副ふ
34 The number and weight of everything was determined. All the weight was written down at that time.
即ちその一々の重と數を査べ其重をことごとく其時かきとめたり
35 The ones who came back from the captivity, the people of exile, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel: twelve bulls for all of Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve male goats as a sin offering. All were a burnt offering for Yahweh.
俘囚の人々のその俘囚をゆるされて歸り來し者イスラエルの神に燔祭を獻げたり 即ちイスラエル全體にあたる牡牛十二を獻げまた牡羊九十六羔羊七十七罪祭の牡山羊十二を獻げたり 是みなヱホバにたてまつりし燔祭なり
36 Then they gave the king's decrees to the king's high officials and the governors in the Province Beyond the River, and they helped the people and the house of God.
彼等王の勅諭を王の代官と河外ふの總督等に示しければその人々民を助けて神の室を建しむ
