歴代誌Ⅱ 5

1 斯ソロモンがヱホバの家のために爲る一切の工事をはれり是においてソロモンその父ダビデが奉納たる物なる金銀および諸の器皿を携へいりて神の家の府庫の中に置り

Then Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had vowed, the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels, which he placed in the treasuries of the house of God.

2 茲にソロモン、ヱホバの契約の櫃をダビデの邑シオンより舁のぼらんとてイスラエルの長老者と諸の支派の長等イスラエルの子孫の宗家の長をヱルサレムに召集めければ

After this, he gathered together those greater by birth of Israel, and all the leaders of the tribes, and the heads of the families, from the sons of Israel, to Jerusalem, so that they might bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the City of David, which is Zion.

3 イスラエルの人みな七月の節筵に當りて王の所に集まり

And so, all the men of Israel went to the king, on the solemn day of the seventh month.

4 イスラエルの長老等みな至りレビ人契約の櫃を執あげ

And when all the elders of Israel had arrived, the Levites carried the ark,

5 その契約の櫃と集會の幕屋と幕屋にありし諸の聖器を舁のぼれり即ち祭司レビ人これを舁のぼりぬ

and they brought it in, along with all the equipment of the tabernacle. Then too, the priests with the Levites carried the vessels of the sanctuary, which were in the tabernacle.

6 時にソロモン王および彼の許に集まれるイスラエルの會衆契約の櫃の前にありて羊と牛を献げたりしがその數多くして書すことも數ふることも能はざりき

Now king Solomon, and the entire assembly of Israel, and all who had gathered together before the ark, were immolating rams and oxen without any number, for so great was the multitude of the victims.

7 かくて祭司等ヱホバの契約の櫃をその處に舁いれたり即ち室の神殿なる至聖所の中のケルビムの翼の下に舁いりぬ

And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, that is, to the oracle of the temple, in the Holy of Holies, under the wings of the cherubim,

8 ケルビムは翼を契約の櫃の所の上に舒べケルビム上より契約の櫃とその杠を掩ふ

so that the cherubim extended their wings over the place where the ark was positioned, and they covered the ark itself and its bars.

9 杠長かりければ杠の末は神殿の前の契約の櫃より見えたり然れども外には見えざりき其は今日まで彼處にあり

But concerning the bars by which the ark was carried, because they were a little longer, the ends were able to be seen before the oracle. Yet truly, if anyone were a little ways toward the exterior, he would not be able to see them. And so the ark has been in that place, even to the present day.

10 契約の櫃の内には二枚の板の外何もあらず是はイスラエルの子孫のエジプトより出たる時ヱホバが彼らと契約を結びたまへる時にモーセがホレブにて蔵めたる者なり

And there was nothing else in the ark, except the two tablets, which Moses had placed there at Horeb when the Lord gave the law to the sons of Israel, at the departure from Egypt.

11 斯て祭司等は聖所より出たり此にありし祭司はみな身を潔めその班列によらずして職務をなせり

And having gone out from the Sanctuary, the priests (for all the priests who were able to be found there were sanctified, and in that time the turns and orders of the ministries had not yet been divided among them)

12 またレビ人の謳歌者すなはちアサフ、ヘマン、ヱドトン及び彼らの子等と兄弟等はみな細布を纒ひ鐃鈸と瑟と琴とを操て壇の東に立りまた祭司百二十人彼らとともにありて喇叭を吹り

with both the Levites and the singing men, that is, those who were under Asaph, and those who were under Heman, and those who were under Jeduthun, with their sons and brothers, clothed in fine linen, sounded out with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps, standing toward the eastern side of the altar. And with them were one hundred twenty priests, sounding out with trumpets.

13 喇叭を吹く者と謳歌者とは一人のごとくに聲を斉うしてヱホバを讃かつ頌へたりしが彼ら喇叭鐃鈸等の樂器をもちて聲をふりたて善かなヱホバその矜憫は世々限なしと言てヱホバを讃ける時に雲その室すなはちヱホバの室に充り

And when they all sounded out together, with trumpets, and voice, and cymbals, and pipes, and with various kinds of musical instruments, lifting their voice on high, the sound was heard from far away, so that when they had begun to praise the Lord, and to say, “Confess to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy is eternal,” the house of God was filled with a cloud.

14 祭司は雲の故をもて立て奉事をなすことを得ざりきヱホバの榮光神の室に充たればなり

Neither were the priests able to stand and to minister, because of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.
