Ezra 3
1 And when the seuenth moneth was come, and the children of Israel were in their cities, the people assembled themselues as one man vnto Ierusalem.
イスラエルの子孫かくその邑々に住居しが七月に至りて民一人のごとくにヱルサレムに集まれり
2 Then stoode vp Ieshua rhe sonne of Iozadak, and his brethren the Priests, and Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in ye Lawe of Moses the man of God,
是に於てヨザダクの子ヱシュアとその兄弟なる祭司等およびシャルテルの子ゼルバベルとその兄弟等立おこりてイスラエルの神の壇を築けり 是神の人モーセの律法に記されたる所に循ひてその上に燔祭を獻げんとてなりき
3 And they set the altar vpon his bases (for feare was among them, because of the people of those countreis) therefore they offered burnt offrings thereon vnto the Lord, euen burnt offrings in the morning, and at euen.
彼等は壇をその本の處に設けたり 是國々の民を懼れしが故なり 而してその上にて燔祭をヱホバに獻げ朝夕にこれを獻ぐ
4 They kept also the feast of the Tabernacles, as it is written, and the burnt offring dayly, by nomber according to the custome day by day,
またその録されたる所に循ひて結茅節を行ひ毎日の分を按へて例に照し數のごとくに日々の燔祭を獻げたり
5 And afterwarde the continuall bnrnt offring, both in the newe moneths and in all the feast dayes that were consecrate vnto the Lord, and in all the oblations willingly offered vnto the Lord.
是より後は常の燔祭および月朔とヱホバの一切のきよき節會とに用ゐる供物ならびに人の誠意よりヱホバにたてまつる供物を獻ぐることをす
6 From the first day of the seuenth moneth began they to offer burnt offrings vnto the Lord: but the foundation of the Temple of the Lord was not layed.
即ち七月の一日よりして燔祭をヱホバに獻ぐることを始めけるがヱホバの殿の基礎は未だ置ざりき
7 They gaue money also vnto the masons, and to the workemen, and meat and drinke, and oyle vnto them of Zidon and of Tyrus, to bring them cedar wood from Lebanon to the sea vnto Iapho, according to the graunt that they had of Cyrus King of Persia.
是において石工と木工に金を交付しまたシドンとツロの者に食物飮物および油を與へてペルシヤの王クロスの允准にしたがひてレバノンよりヨッパの海に香柏を運ばしめたり
8 And in the seconde yeere of their comming vnto the house of God in Ierusalem in the second moneth began Zerubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, and Ieshua the sonne of Iozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the Priests and the Leuites, and all they that were come out of the captiuitie vnto Ierusalem, and appointed the Leuites from twentie yeere olde and aboue, to set forwarde the worke of the house of the Lord.
斯てヱルサレムより神の室に歸りたる次の年の二月にシャルテルの子ゼルバベル、ヨザダクの子ヱシュアおよびその兄弟たる他の祭司レビ人など凡て俘囚をゆるされてヱルサレムに歸りし者等を始め二十歳以上のレビ人を立てヱホバの室の工事を監督せしむ
9 And Ieshua stood with his sonnes, and his brethren, and Kadmiel with his sonnes, and the sonnes of Iudah together to set forward ye workemen in the house of God, and the sonnes of Henadad with their sonnes, and their brethren the Leuites.
是に於てユダの子等なるヱシュアとその子等および兄弟カデミエルとその子等齊しく立て神の家の工人を監督せり ヘナダデの子等およびその子等と兄弟等のレビ人も然り
10 And when the builders layed the foundation of the Temple of the Lord, they appoynted the Priestes in their apparel with trumpets, and the Leuites the sonnes of Asaph with cymbales, to prayse the Lord, after the ordinance of Dauid King of Israel.
かくて建築者ヱホバの殿の基礎を置る時祭司等禮服を衣て喇叭を執りアサフの子孫たるレビ人鐃鈸を執りイスラエルの王ダビデの例に循ひてヱホバを讃美す
11 Thus they sang when they gaue prayse, and when they gaue thankes vnto the Lord, For he is good, for his mercie endureth for euer toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shoute, when they praysed the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was layed.
彼等班列にしたがひて諸共に歌を謠ひてヱホバを讃めかつ頌へヱホバは恩ふかく其矜恤は永遠にたゆることなければなりと言り そのヱホバを讃美する時に民みな大聲をあげて呼はれり ヱホバの室の基礎を据ればなり
12 Many also of the Priests and the Leuites and the chiefe of the fathers, ancient men which had seene the first house, (when the foundation of this house was layed before their eyes) wept with a loud voyce, and many shouted aloud for ioy,
されど祭司レビ人宗家の長の中に以前の室を見たりし老人ありけるが今この室の基礎をその目の前に置るを見て多く聲を放ちて泣り また喜悦のために聲をあげて呼はる者も多かりき
13 So that the people coulde not discerne the sound of the shoute for ioy, from the noyse of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loude crie, and the noyse was heard farre off.
是をもて人衆民の歡こびて呼はる聲と民の泣く聲とを聞きわくることを得ざりき そは民大聲に呼はり叫びければその聲遠くまで聞えわたりたればなり
