2 Chronicles 23

1 And in the seuenth yeere Iehoiada waxed bolde, and tooke the captaines of hundreths, to wit, Azariah the sonne of Ieroham, and Ishmael the sonne of Iehohanan, and Azariah the sonne of Obed, and Maasiah the sonne of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the sonne of Zichri in couenant with him.

第七年にいたりヱホヤダ力を強してヱロハムの子アザリヤ、ヨハナンの子イシマエル、オベデの子アザリア、アダヤの子マアセヤ、ジクリの子エシヤパテなどいふ百人の長等を招きて己と契約を結ばしむ

2 And they went about in Iudah, and gathered the Leuites out of all the cities of Iudah, and the chiefe fathers of Israel: and they came to Ierusale.

是において彼らユダを行めぐりてユダの一切の邑よりレビ人を集めまたイスラエルの族長を集めてヱルサレムに歸り

3 And al the Congregation made a couenant with the King in the house of God: and he sayde vnto them, Behold, the Kings sonne must reigne, as the Lord hath sayd of the sonnes of Dauid.

而してその會衆みな神の家において王と契約を結べり時にヱホヤダかれらに言けるけるはダビデの子孫の事につきてヱホバの宣まひしごとく王の子位に即べきなり

4 This is it that ye shall do, The third part of you that come on the Sabbath of the Priests, and the Leuites, shalbe porters of the doores.

然ば汝ら斯なすべし汝ら祭司およびレビ人の安息日に入きたる者は三分の一は門を守り

5 And another third part towarde the Kings house, and another thirde part at the gate of the foundation, and al the people shalbe in the courts of the house of the Lord.

三分の一は王の家に居り三分の一は基礎の門に居り民はみなヱホバの室の庭に居べし

6 But let none come into the house of the Lord, saue the Priests, and the Leuites that minister: they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keepe the watch of the Lord.

祭司と奉事をするレビ人の外は何人もヱホバの家に入べからず彼らは聖者なれば入ことを得るなり民はみなヱホバの殿を守るべし

7 And the Leuites shall compasse the King rounde about, and euery man with his weapon in his hand, and he that entreth into the house, shall be slaine, and be you with the King, when he commeth in, and when he goeth out.

レビ人はおのおの手に武器を執て王を繞りて立べし家に入る者をば凡て殺すべし汝らは王の出る時にも入る時にも王とともに居れと

8 So the Leuites and all Iudah did according to all things that Iehoiada the Priest had commanded, and tooke euery man his men that came on the Sabbath, with them that went out on the Sabbath: for Iehoiada the Priest did not discharge the courses.

是においてレビ人およびユダの人衆は祭司ヱホヤダが凡て命じたる如くに行ひ各々その手の人の安息日に入來べき者と安息日に出ゆくべき者とを率ゐ居れり祭司ヱホヤダ班列の者を去せざればなり

9 And Iehoiada the Priest deliuered to the captaines of hundreths speares, and shieldes, and bucklers which had bene King Dauids, and were in the house of God.

祭司ヱホヤダすなはち神の家にあるダビデ王の鎗および大楯小楯を百人の長等に交し

10 And he caused all the people to stand (euery man with his weapon in his hande) from the right side of the house, to ye left side of the house by the altar and by the house round about ye king.

一切の民をして各々武器を手に執て王の四周に立ち殿の右の端より殿の左の端におよびて壇と殿にそふて居しむ

11 Then they brought out the Kings sonne, and put vpon him the crowne and gaue him the testimonie, and made him King. And Iehoiada and his sonnes anoynted him, and sayd, God saue the King.

斯て人衆王の子を携へ出し之に冠冕を戴かせ證詞をわたして王となし祭司ヱホヤダおよびその子等これに膏をそそげり而して皆王長壽かれと言ふ

12 But when Athaliah heard the noyse of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the Lord.

茲にアタリヤ民と近衛兵と王を讃る者との聲を聞きヱホバの室に入て民の所に至り

13 And when she looked, beholde, the King stoode by his pillar at the entring in, and the princes and the trumpets by the King, and all the people of the land reioyced, and blew the trumpets, and the singers were with instruments of musike, and they that could sing prayse: then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, treason.

視に王は入口にてその柱の傍に立ち王の側に軍長と喇叭手立をり亦國の民みな喜びて喇叭を吹き謳歌者樂を奏し先だちて讃美を歌ひをりしかばアタリヤその衣を裂き叛逆なり叛逆なりと言り

14 Then Iehoiada the Priest brought out the captaines of hundreths that were gouernours of the hoste, and said vnto them, Haue her foorth of the ranges, and he that followeth her, let him dye by the sword: for the Priest had said, Slay her not in the house of the Lord.

時に祭司ヱホヤダ軍兵を統る百人の長等を呼出してこれに言ふ彼をして列の間を通りて出しめよ凡て彼に從がふ者をば劍をもて殺すべしと祭司は彼をヱホバの室に殺すべからずとて斯いへるなり

15 So they layde hands on her: and when she was come to the entring of the horsegate by the Kings house, they slew her there.

是をもて之がために路をひらき王の家の馬の門の入口まで往しめて其處にて之を殺せり

16 And Iehoiada made a couenant betweene him, and all the people, and the King, that they would be the Lords people.

斯てヱホヤダ己と一切の民と王との間にわれらは皆ヱホバの民とならんことの契約を結べり

17 And all the people went to the house of Baal, and destroyed, and brake his altars and his images, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.

是において民みなバアルの室にゆきて之を毀ちその壇とその像を打碎きバアルの祭司マツタンを壇の前に殺せり

18 And Iehoiada appointed officers for the house of the Lord, vnder the handes of the Priestes and Leuites, whome Dauid had distributed for the house of the Lord, to offer burnt offrings vnto the Lord, as it is written in the Law of Moses, with reioycing and singing by the appoyntment of Dauid.

ヱホヤダまたヱホバの室の職事を祭司レビ人の手に委ぬ昔ダビデ、レビ人を班列にわかちてヱホバの室におきモーセの律法に記されたる所にしたがひて歓喜と謳歌とをもてヱホバの燔祭を献げしめたりき今このダビデの例に傚ふ

19 And he set porters by the gates of ye house of the Lord, that none that was vncleane in any thing, should enter in.

彼またヱホバの室の門々に看守者を立せ置き身の汚れたる者には何によりて汚れたるにもあれ凡て入ことを得ざらしむ

20 And he tooke the captaines of hundreths, and the noble men, and the gouernours of the people, and all the people of the land, and he caused the King to come downe out of the house of the Lord, and they went thorowe the hie gate of the Kings house, and set the King vpon the throne of the kingdome.

斯てヱホヤダ百人の長等と貴族と民の牧伯等および國の一切の民を率ゐてヱホバの家より王を導きくだり上の門よりして王の家にいり王を國の位に坐せしめたり

21 Then all the people of the land reioyced, and the citie was quiet, after that they had slaine Athaliah with the sword.

斯りしかば國の民みな喜こびて邑は平穩なりきアタリヤは劍にて殺さる
