歴代誌Ⅱ 7

1 ソロモン祈ることを終し時天より火くだりて燔祭と犠牲とを焚きヱホバの榮光その家に充り

Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house.

2 ヱホバの榮光ヱホバの家に充しに因て祭司はヱホバの家に入ことを得ざりき

And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD's house.

3 イスラエルの子孫は皆火の降れるを見またヱホバの榮光のその家にのぞめるを見て敷石の上にて地に俯伏て拝しヱホバを讃て云り善かなヱホバその恩惠は世々限なしと

And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endures for ever.

4 斯て王および民みなヱホバの前に犠牲を献ぐ

Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.

5 ソロモン王の献げたる犠牲は牛二萬二千羊十二萬斯王と民みな神の家を開けり

And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.

6 祭司は立てその職をなしレビ人はヱホバの樂器を執て立つ其樂器はダビデ王彼らの手によりて讃美をなすに當り自ら作りてヱホバの恩惠は世々限なしと頌へしめし者なり祭司は彼らの前にありて喇叭を吹きイスラエルの人は皆立をる

And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of music of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD, because his mercy endures for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.

7 ソロモンまたヱホバの家の前なる庭の中を聖め其處にて燔祭と酬恩祭の脂とを献げたり是はソロモンの造れる銅の壇その燔祭と素祭と脂とを受るに足ざりしが故なり

Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brazen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the food offerings, and the fat.

8 その時ソロモン七日の間節筵をなしけるがイスラエル全國の人々すなはちハマテの入口よりエジプトの河までの人々あつまりて彼とともにあり其會はなはだ大なりき

Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt.

9 かくて第八日に聖會を開けり彼らは七日のあひだ壇奉納の禮をおこなひまた七日のあひだ節筵を守りけるが

And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.

10 七月の二十三日にいたりてソロモン民をその天幕に歸せり皆ヱホバがダビデ、ソロモンおよびその民イスラエルに施こしたまひし恩惠のために喜こび且心に樂しみて去り

And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the LORD had showed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.

11 ソロモン、ヱホバの家と王の家とを造了へヱホバの家と己の家とにつきて爲んと心に思ひし事を盡く成就たり

Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king's house: and all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.

12 時にヱホバ夜ソロモンに顯れて之に言たまひけるは我すでに汝の祈祷を聽きまた此處をわがために選びて犠牲を献ぐる家となす

And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.

13 我天を閉て雨なからしめ又は蟊賊に命じて地の物を食はしめ又は疫病を我民の中におくらんに

If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;

14 我名をもて稱らるる我民もし自ら卑くし祈りてわが面を求めその惡き道を離れなば我天より聽てその罪を赦しその地を醫さん

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

15 今より我この處の祈祷に目を啓き耳を傾むけん

Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attentive unto the prayer that is made in this place.

16 今我すでに此家を選びかつ聖別む我名は永く此にあるべしまた我目もわが心も恒に此にあるべし

For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.

17 汝もし汝の父ダビデの歩みしごとく我前に歩み我が汝に命じたるごとく凡て行ひてわが法度と律例を守らば

And as for you, if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and shall observe my statutes and my judgments;

18 我は汝の父ダビデに契約してイスラエルを治むる人汝に缺ること無るべしと言しごとく汝の國の祚を堅うすべし

Then will I establish the throne of your kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David your father, saying, There shall not fail you a man to be ruler in Israel.

19 然ど汝ら若ひるがへり我が汝らの前に置たる法度と誡命を棄て往て他の神々に事へかつ之を拝まば

But if all of you turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;

20 我かれらを我が與へたる地より抜さるべし又我名のために我が聖別たる此家は我これを我前より投棄て萬國の中に諺語となり嘲笑とならしめん

Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations.

21 且又この家は高くあれども終にはその傍を過る者は皆これに驚きて言んヱホバ何故に此地に此家に斯なしたるやと

And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passes by it; so that he shall say, Why has the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this house?

22 人これに答へて言ん彼ら己の先祖をエジプトの地より導き出ししその神ヱホバを棄て他の神々に附從がひ之を拝み之に事へしによりてなりヱホバ之がためにこの諸の災禍を彼らに降せりと

And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore has he brought all this evil upon them.
