歴代誌Ⅱ 29

1 ヒゼキヤは二十五歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて二十九年の間世を治めたりその母はゼカリヤの女にして名をアビヤといふ

And Ezekias began to reign at the age of twenty-five years, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abia, daughter of Zacharias.

2 ヒゼキヤはその父ダビデの凡てなしたる如くヱホバの目に善と視たまふ事をなせり

And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father David had done.

3 即ち彼その治世の第一年一月にヱホバの室の戸を開きかつ之を修繕ひ

And it came to pass, when he was established over his kingdom, in the first month, he opened the doors of the house of the Lord, and repaired them.

4 祭司およびレビ人を携さへいりて東の廣場にこれを集め

And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and put them on the east side,

5 而して之にいひけるはレビ人よ我に聽け汝等いま身を潔めて汝等の先祖の神ヱホバの室を潔め汚穢を聖所より除きされ

and said to them, Hear, ye Levites: now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and cast out the impurity from the holy places.

6 夫我らの先祖は罪を犯し我らの神ヱホバの目に惡しと見たまふことを行ひてヱホバを棄てヱホバの住所に面を背けて後をこれに向け

For our fathers have revolted, and done that which was evil before the Lord our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their face from the tabernacle of the Lord, and have turned [their] back.

7 また廊の戸を閉ぢ燈火を消し聖所にてイスラエルの神に香を焚ず燔祭を献けざりし

And they have shut up the doors of the temple, and put out the lamps, and have not burnt incense, and have not offered whole-burnt-offerings in the holy [place] to the God of Israel.

8 是をもてヱホバの忿怒ユダとヱルサレムに臨みヱホバ彼等をして打ただよはされしめ詑異とならしめ胡盧とならしめたまへり汝らが目に覩るごとし

And the Lord was very angry with Juda and Jerusalem, and made them an astonishment, and a desolation, and a hissing, as ye see with your eyes.

9 即ち我儕の父は劍に斃れ我らの男子女子及び妻等はこれがために俘擄となれり

And, behold, your fathers have been smitten with the sword, and your sons and your daughters and your wives are in captivity in a land not their own, as it is even now.

10 今我イスラエルの神ヱホバと契約を結ばんとする意志ありその烈しき怒我らを離るることあらん

Therefore it is now in my heart to make a covenant, a covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that he may turn away his fierce wrath from us.

11 我子等よ今は怠たる勿れヱホバ汝らを擇びて己の前に立て事へしめ己に事ふる者となし香を焚く者となしたまひたればなりと

And now be not wanting [to your duty], for the Lord has chosen you to stand before him to minister, and to be ministers and burners of incense to him.

12 是においてレビ人起り即ちコハテの子孫の中にてはアマサイの子マハテおよびアザリヤの子ヨエル、メラリの子孫の中にてはアブデの子キシおよびヱハレレルの子アザリヤ、ゲルシヨン人の中にてはジンマの子ヨアおよびヨアの子エデン

Then the Levites rose up, Maath the son of Amasi, and Joel the son of Azarias, of the sons of Caath: and of the sons of Merari, Kis the son of Abdi, and Azarias the son of Haelel: and of the sons of Gedsoni, Jodaad the son of Zemmath, and Joadam: these [were] the sons of Joacha.

13 エリザパンの子孫の中にてはシムリおよびヱイエル、アサフの子孫の中にてはゼカリヤおよびマツタニヤ

And of the sons of Elisaphan; Zambri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zacharias, and Matthanias:

14 ヘマンの子孫の中にてはヱヒエルおよびシメイ、ヱドトンの子孫の中にてはシマヤおよびウジエル

and of the sons of Aeman; Jeiel, and Semei: and of the sons of Idithun; Samaisa, and Oziel.

15 かれらその兄弟を集へて身を潔めヱホバの言に依りて王の傳へし命令にしたがひてヱホバの室を潔めんとて入きたり

And they gathered their brethren, and they purified themselves according to the king's command by the order of the Lord, to purify the house of the Lord.

16 祭司等ヱホバの室の奧に入りてこれを潔めヱホバの殿にありし汚穢をことごとくヱホバの室の庭に携へいだせばレビ人それを受て外にいだしキデロン河に持いたる

And the priests entered into the house of the Lord, to purify [it], and they cast out all the uncleanness that was found in the house of the Lord, even into the court of the house of the Lord: and the Levites received [it] to cast into the brook of Kedron without.

17 彼ら正月の元日に潔むることを始めてその月の八日にヱホバの廊におよびまたヱホバの家を潔むるに八日を費し正月の十六日にいたりて之を終れり

And [Ezekias] began on the first day, [even] on the new moon of the first month, to purify, and on the eighth day of the month they entered into the temple of the Lord: and they purified the house of the Lord in eight days; and on the thirteenth day of the first month they finished [the work].

18 かくて彼らヒゼキヤ王の處に入て言ふ我らヱホバの室をことごとく潔めまた燔祭の壇とその一切の器具および供前のパンの案とその一切の器皿とを潔めたり

And they went in to king Ezekias, and said, We have purified all the things in the house of the Lord, the altar of whole-burnt-offering, and its vessels, and the table of shew-bread, and its vessels;

19 またアハズ王がその治世に罪を犯して棄たりし一切の器皿をも整へてこれを潔めヱホバの壇の前にこれを据置りと

and all the vessels which king Achaz polluted in his reign, in his apostasy, we have prepared and purified: behold, they are before the altar of the Lord.

20 是においてヒゼキヤ王蚤に起いで邑の牧伯等をあつめてヱホバの家にのぼり往き

And king Ezekias rose early in the morning, and gathered the chief men of the city, and went up to the house of the Lord.

21 牡牛七匹牡羊七匹羔羊七匹牡山羊七匹を牽きたらしめ國と聖所とユダのためにこれを罪祭となしアロンの子孫たる祭司等に命じてこれをヱホバの壇の上に献げしむ

And he brought seven calves, seven rams, seven lambs, seven kids of goats for a sin-offering, for the kingdom, and for the holy things, and for Israel: and he told the priests the sons of Aaron to go up to the altar of the Lord.

22 即ち牡牛を宰れば祭司等その血を受て壇に灑ぎまた牡羊を宰ればその血を壇に灑ぎまた羔羊を宰ればその血を壇に灑げり

And they slew the calves, and the priests received the blood, and poured it on the altar: and they slew the rams, and poured the blood upon the altar: also they slew the lambs, and poured the blood round the altar.

23 かくて人々罪祭の牡山羊を王と會衆の前に牽きたりければ彼らその上に手を按り

And they brought the goats for a sin-offering before the king and the congregation; and laid their hands upon them.

24 而して祭司これを宰りその血を罪祭として壇の上に献げてイスラエル全國のために贖罪をなせり是は王イスラエル全國の爲に燔祭および罪祭を献ぐることを命じたるに因る

And the priests slew them, and offered their blood as a propitiation on the altar; and they made atonement for all Israel: for the king said, The whole-burnt-offering, and the sin-offering [are] for all Israel.

25 王レビ人をヱホバの室に置きダビデおよび王の先見者ガデと預言者ナタンの命令にしたがひて之に鐃鈸瑟および琴を執しむ是はヱホバがその預言者によりて命じたまひし所なり

And he stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, and lutes, and harps, according to the commandment of king David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for by the commandment of the Lord the order [was] in the hand of the prophets.

26 是においてレビ人はダビデの樂器をとり祭司は喇叭をとりて立つ

And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

27 時にヒゼキヤ燔祭を壇の上に献ぐることを命ぜり燔祭をささげ始むるときヱホバの歌をうたひ喇叭を吹きイスラエルの王ダビデの樂器をならしはじめたり

And Ezekias told [them] to offer up the whole-burnt-offering on the altar: and when they began to offer the whole-burnt-offering, they began to sing to the Lord, and the trumpets [accompanied] the instruments of David king of Israel.

28 しかして會衆みな禮拝をなし謳歌者歌をうたひ喇叭手喇叭を吹ならし燔祭の終るまで凡て斯ありしが

And all the congregation worshipped, and the psalm-singers [were] singing, and the trumpets sounding, until the whole-burnt-sacrifice had been completely offered.

29 献ぐる事の終るにおよびて王および之と偕に在る者皆身をかがめて禮拝をなせり

And when they had done offering [it], the king and all that were present bowed, and worshipped.

30 かくて又ヒゼキヤ王および牧伯等レビ人に命じダビデと先見者アサフの詞をもてヱホバを讃美せしむ彼等喜樂をもて讃美し首をさげて禮拝す

And king Ezekias and the princes told the Levites to sing hymns to the Lord in the words of David, and of Asaph the prophet: and they sang hymns with gladness, and fell down and worshipped.

31 時にヒゼキヤこたへて言けるは汝らすでにヱホバに事へんために身を潔めたれば進みよりてヱホバの室に犠牲および感謝祭を携へきたれと會衆すなはち犠牲および感謝祭を携へきたる又志ある者はみな燔祭を携ふ

Then Ezekias answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves to the Lord, bring near and offer sacrifices of praise in the house of the Lord. And the congregation brought sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of the Lord; and every one who was ready in his heart [brought] whole-burnt-offerings.

32 會衆の携へきたりし燔祭の數は牡牛七十牡羊一百羔羊二百是みなヱホバに燔祭として奉つる者なり

And the number of the whole-burnt-offerings which the congregation brought, was seventy calves, a hundred rams, two hundred lambs: all these [were] for a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord.

33 また奉納物は牛六百羊三千なりき

And the consecrated calves were six hundred, [and] the sheep three thousand.

34 然るに祭司寡くしてその燔祭の物の皮を剥つくすこと能はざりければその兄弟たるレビ人これを助けてその工を終ふ斯る間に他の祭司等も身を潔むレビ人は祭司よりも心正しくして身を潔めたり

But the priests were few, and could not flay the whole-burnt-offering, so their brethren the Levites helped them, until the work was finished, and until the priests had purified themselves: for the Levites [more] zealously purified [themselves] than the priests.

35 燔祭夥多しくあり酬恩祭の脂及びすべての燔祭の酒も然り斯ヱホバの室の奉事備はれり

And the whole-burnt-offering [was] abundant, with the fat of the complete peace-offering, and the drink-offerings of the whole-burnt-sacrifice. So the service was established in the house of the Lord.

36 この事俄なりしかども神かく民の爲に備をなしたまひしに因てヒゼキヤおよび一切の民喜べり

And Ezekias and all the people rejoiced, because God has prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
