1 Chronicles 15
1 David [commanded his workers to] build some houses for him in Jerusalem. He also told them to set up a tent in which to put the Sacred Chest.
ダビデはダビデの邑の中に自己のために家を建て又神の契約の櫃のために處を備へてこれがために幕屋を張り
2 He said, “Only the descendants of Levi are permitted to carry God’s Sacred Chest, because they are the ones whom God chose to carry it and to serve him forever.”
而してダビデ言けるは神の契約の櫃を舁べき者は只レビ人のみ其はヱホバ神の契約の櫃を舁しめまた己に永く事しめんとてレビ人を擇びたまひたればなりと
3 David summoned all the people of Israel to come to Jerusalem. He wanted the Sacred Chest of Yahweh to be put in the place that he had made for it.
ダビデすなはちヱホバの契約の櫃をその之がために備へたる處に舁のぼらんとてイスラエルをことごとくエルサレムに召集めたり
4 He summoned the descendants of Aaron, [who was the first Supreme Priest, ] and the other descendants of Levi.
ダビデまたアロンの子孫とレビ人を集めたり
5 120 descendants of Kohath, who was Levi’s second son, came, with Uriel their leader.
即ちコハテの子孫の中よりはウリエルを長としてその兄弟百二十人
6 There were 220 descendants of Merari, Levi’s third son, who came, with Asaiah their leader.
メラリの子孫の中よりはアサヤを長としてその兄弟二百二十人
7 There were 130 descendants of Gershon, Levi’s first son, who came, with Joel their leader.
ゲルシヨンの子孫の中よりはヨエルを長としてその兄弟百三十人
8 There were 200 people from Elizaphan’s clan who came, with Shemaiah their leader.
エリザバンの子孫の中よりはシマヤを長としてその兄弟二百人
9 There were 80 people from Hebron’s clan who came, with Eliel their leader.
ヘブロンの子孫の中よりはエリエルを長としてその兄弟八十人
10 And there were 112 people from Uzziel’s clan who came, with Amminadab their leader.
ウジエルの子孫の中よりはアミナダブを長としてその兄弟百十二人
11 David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar and these [other] descendants of Levi: Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
ダビデ祭司ザドクとアビヤタルおよびレビ人ウリエル、アサヤ、ヨエル、シマヤ、エリエル、アミナダブを召し
12 David said to them, “You are the leaders of the clans descended from Levi. You and the other descendants of Levi must purify yourselves, in order to [be able to do this special work for Yahweh. You must] bring the Sacred Chest of Yahweh, the God of us Israelis, up to the place that I have made for it [here in Jerusalem].
これに言けるは汝らはレビ人の宗家の長たり汝らと汝らの兄弟共に身を潔めイスラエルの神ヱホバの契約の櫃を我が其の爲に備へたる處に舁のぼれよ
13 The first time that we tried to bring it, we did not ask Yahweh how we should carry it {it should be carried}. You [descendants of Levi] were not the ones who carried it, so Yahweh our God punished us.”
前には之をかきしもの汝らにあらざりしに縁て我らの神ヱホバわれらを撃たまへり是は我らそのさだめにしたがひて之に求めざりしが故なりと
14 Then the priests and the [other] descendants of Levi [performed the rituals to] purify themselves, in order that it would be proper for them to do the work of carrying the Sacred Chest of Yahweh, the God of us Israeli people.
是において祭司等とレビ人等イスラエルの神ヱホバの契約の櫃を舁のぼらんと身を潔め
15 The descendants of Levi [inserted] the poles [into the rings on] the Sacred Chest so that with them, they could carry the Sacred Chest on their shoulders, like Moses had commanded, and like Yahweh had said that they should.
レビの子孫たる人々すなはちモーセがヱホバの言にしたがひて命じたるごとく神の契約の櫃をその貫ける枉によりて肩に負り
16 David told the leaders of the descendants of Levi to appoint some of their relatives to sing joyful songs and play lyres, harps, and cymbals [while they were carrying the Sacred Chest].
ダビデまたレビ人の長等に告げその兄弟等を選びて謳歌者となし瑟と琴と鐃鈸などの樂器をもちて打はやして歓喜の聲を擧しめよと言たれば
17 So they appointed Heman and his relatives Asaph and Ethan. Heman was the son of Joel; Asaph was the son of Berekiah. Ethan, a descendant of Merari, was Kushaiah’s son.
レビ人すなはちヨエルの子ヘマンとその兄弟ベレキヤの子アサフおよびメラリの子孫たる彼らの兄弟クシャヤの子エタンを選べり
18 There was also another group of descendants of Levi who were appointed: Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, and two of the Sacred Tent gatekeepers, Obed-Edom and Jeiel.
また之に次るその兄弟等これと偕にあり即ちゼカリヤ、ベン、ヤジエル、セミラモテ、ヱイエル、ウンニ、エリアブ、ベナヤ、マアセヤ、マツタテヤ、エリペレホ、ミクネヤおよび門を守る者なるオベデエドムとヱイエル
19 Heman, Asaph and Ethan sang, and also played bronze cymbals.
謳歌者ヘマン、アサフおよびエタンは銅の鐃鈸をもて打はやす者となり
20 Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah played lyres.
ゼカリヤ、アジエル、セミラモテ、ヱイエル、ウンニ、エリアブ、マアセヤ、ベナヤは瑟をもて細き音を出し
21 Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel and Azaziah played harps.
マツタテヤ、エリペレテ、ミクネヤ、オベデエドム、ヱイエル、アザジヤは琴をもて太き音を出して拍子をとれり
22 Kenaniah, the leader of the descendants of Levi, directed the singing because he was very skilled at doing that.
ケナニヤはレビ人の長にして負舁事に通じをるによりて負舁事を指揮せり
23 Berekiah and Elkanah were two of the men who guarded the Sacred Chest.
またベレキヤとエルカナは契約の櫃の門を守り
24 The priests Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer were appointed to blow trumpets in front of the Sacred Chest. Obed-Edom and Jehiah also guarded the Sacred Chest.
祭司シバニヤ、ヨシヤパテ、ネタネル、アマサイ、ゼカリヤ、ベナヤ、ヱリエゼル等は神の契約の櫃の前に進みて喇叭を吹きオベデエドムとヱヒアは契約の櫃の門を守れり
25 David and the Israeli leaders and the officers who commanded 1,000 soldiers went to bring the Sacred Chest back from Obed-Edom’s house. They were very joyful as they brought it to Jerusalem.
斯ダビデとイスラエルの長老および千人の長等は往てオベデエドムの家よりヱホバの契約の櫃を歓び勇みて舁のぼれり
26 God helped the descendants of Levi who carried the Sacred Chest of Yahweh; therefore David and the leaders sacrificed seven bulls and seven (rams/male sheep) [to thank him].
神ヱホバの契約の櫃を舁ところのレビ人を助けたまひければ牡牛七匹牡羊七匹を献げたり
27 All the descendants of Levi who carried the Sacred Chest, all the singers, and Kenaniah, the man who directed those who sang, wore robes of fine white linen and sacred vests made of fine linen. David also wore a sacred vest made of white linen.
ダビデは細布の衣をまとへり又契約の櫃を舁ところの一切のレビ人と謳歌者および負舁事を主どれるケナニヤも然りダビデはまた白布のエポデを着居たり
28 So all of the Israeli people joined in bringing the Sacred Chest up [to Jerusalem]. They shouted [joyfully, while the musicians] blew horns and trumpets, and played cymbals, lyres, and harps.
斯てイスラエルみな聲を擧げ角を吹ならし喇叭と鐃鈸と瑟と琴とをもて打はやしてヱホバの契約の櫃を舁のぼれり
29 While they were bringing the Sacred Chest into Jerusalem, Saul’s daughter Michal watched them, looking out of a window. When she saw King David dancing and celebrating, she despised him.
ヱホバの契約の櫃ダビデの邑にいりし時サウルの女ミカル窻より窺ひてダビデ王の舞躍るを見その心にこれを藐視めり
