< 2 Chronicles 6 >
1 Then Solomon spoke, Jehovah has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
是においてソロモン言けるはヱホバは濃き雲の中に居んと言たまひしが
2 But I have built for thee a house of habitation, and a place for thee to dwell in forever.
我汝のために住むべき家永久に居べき所を建たりと
3 And the king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel. And all the assembly of Israel stood.
而して王その面をふりむけてイスラエルの全會衆を祝せり時にイスラエルの會衆は皆立をれり
4 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hands fulfilled it, saying,
彼いひけるはイスラエルの神ヱホバは讃べき哉ヱホバはその口をもて吾父ダビデに言ひその手をもて之を成とげたまへり
5 Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in that my name might be there. Neither did I choose any man to be ruler over my people Israel.
即ち言たまひけらく我はわが民をエジプトの地より導き出せし日より我名を置べき家を建しめんためにイスラエルの諸の支派の中より何の邑をも選みしこと無く又何人をも選みて我民イスラエルの君となせしこと無し
6 But I have chosen Jerusalem that my name might be there. And have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
只我はわが名を置くためにヱルサレムを選みまた我民イスラエルを治めしむるためにダビデを選めり
7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
夫イスラエルの神ヱホバの名のために家を建ることは我父ダビデの心にありき
8 But Jehovah said to David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou did well that it was in thy heart.
然るにヱホバわが父ダビデに言たまひけるは我名のために家を建ること汝の心にあり汝の心にこの事あるは善し
9 Nevertheless thou shall not build the house, but thy son who shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.
然れども汝はその家を建べからず汝の腰より出る汝の子その人わが名のために家を建べしと
10 And Jehovah has performed his word that he spoke. For I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and have built the house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
而してヱホバその言たまひし言をおこなひたまへり即ち我わが父ダビデに代りて立ちヱホバの言たまひしごとくイスラエルの位に坐しイスラエルの神ヱホバの名のために家を建て
11 And there I have set the ark in which is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with the sons of Israel.
その中にヱホバがイスラエルの子孫になしたまひし契約を容る櫃ををさめたりと
12 And he stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands.
ソロモン、イスラエルの全會衆の前にてヱホバの壇の前に立てその手を舒ぶ
13 For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold, five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court. And upon it he stood, and knelt down upon his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.
ソロモンさきに長五キユビト濶五キユビト高三キユビトの銅の臺を造りてこれを庭の眞中に据おきたりしが乃ちその上に立ちイスラエルの全會衆の前にて膝をかがめ其手を天に舒て
14 And he said, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven, or on earth, who keep covenant and loving kindness with thy servants, who walk before thee with all their heart,
言けるはイスラエルの神ヱホバ天にも地にも汝のごとき神なし汝は契約を保ちたまひ心を全うして汝の前に歩むところの汝の僕等に恩惠を施こしたまふ
15 who have kept with thy servant David my father that which thou promised him. Yea, thou spoke with thy mouth, and have fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is this day.
汝は汝の僕わが父ダビデにのたまひし所を保ちたまへり汝は口をもて言ひ手をもて成就たまへること今日のごとし
16 Now therefore, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou have promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy sons take heed to their way, to walk in my law as thou have walked before me.
イスラエルの神ヱホバよ然ば汝が僕わが父ダビデに語りて若し汝の子孫その道を愼みて汝がわが前に歩めるごとくに我律法にあゆまばイスラエルの位に坐する人わが前にて汝に缺ること無るべしと言たまひし事をダビデのために保ちたまへ
17 Now therefore, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou spoke to thy servant David.
然ばイスラエルの神ヱホバよ汝が僕ダビデに言たまへるなんぢの言に效驗あらしめたまへ
18 But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee. How much less this house which I have built!
但し神果して地の上に人とともに居たまふや夫天も諸天の天も汝を容るに足ず况て我が建たる此家をや
19 Yet have thou respect to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken to the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prays before thee,
然れども我神ヱホバよ僕の祈祷と懇願をかへりみて僕が今汝の前に祈るその號呼と祈祷を聽たまへ
20 that thine eyes may be open toward this house day and night, even toward the place of which thou have said that thou would put thy name there, to hearken to the prayer which thy servant shall pray toward this place.
願くは汝の目を夜晝此家の上即ち汝が其名を置んと言たまへる所の上に開きたまへ願くは僕がこの處にむかひて祈らん祈祷を聽たまへ
21 And hearken thou to the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place. Yea, hear thou from thy dwelling-place, even from heaven, and when thou hear forgive.
願くは僕と汝の民イスラエルがこの處にむかひて祈る時にその懇願を聽たまへ請ふ汝の住處なる天より聽き聽て赦したまへ
22 If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before thine altar in this house,
人その隣人にむかひて罪を犯せることありてその人誓をもて誓ふことを要められんに若し來りてこの家において汝の壇の前に誓ひなば
23 then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, requiting the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
汝天より聽て行ひ汝の僕等を鞫き惡き者に返報をなしてその道をその首に歸し義者を義としてその義にしたがひて之を待ひたまへ
24 And if thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house,
汝の民イスラエルなんぢに罪を犯したるがために敵の前に敗れんに若なんぢに歸りて汝の名を崇め此家にて汝の前に祈り願ひなば
25 then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again to the land which thou gave to them and to their fathers.
汝天より聽て汝の民イスラエルの罪を赦し汝が彼等とその先祖に與へし地に彼等を歸らしめたまへ
26 When the heavens are shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee, if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin when thou do afflict them,
彼らが汝に罪を犯したるがために天閉て雨なからんに彼ら若この處にむかひて祈り汝の名を崇め汝が彼らを苦しめたまふ時にその罪を離れなば
27 then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and send rain upon thy land, which thou have given to thy people for an inheritance.
汝天より聽きて汝の僕等なんぢの民イスラエルの罪を赦したまへ汝旣にかれらにその歩むべき善道を敎へたまへり汝の民に與へて產業となさしめたまひし汝の地に雨を降したまへ
28 If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, if there be blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar, if their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities, whatever plague or whatever sickness there be,
若くは國に饑饉あるか若くは疫病枯死朽腐蟊賊稲蠹あるか若くは其敵かれらをその國の邑に圍む等如何なる災禍如何なる疾病あるとも
29 whatever prayer and supplication be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, who shall know every man his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house,
もし一人或は汝の民イスラエルみな各々おのれの災禍と憂患を知てこの家にむかひて手を舒なば如何なる祈祷如何なる懇願をなすとも
30 then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling-place and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou know, (for thou, even thou only, know the hearts of the sons of men),
汝の住處なる天より聽て赦し各々の人にその心を知たまふごとくその道々にしたがひて報いたまへ其は汝のみ人々の心を知たまへばなり
31 that they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways so long as they live in the land which thou gave to our fathers.
汝かく彼らをして汝が彼らの先祖に與へたまへる地に居る日の間つねに汝を畏れしめ汝の道に歩ましめたまへ
32 Moreover concerning the foreigner, who is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come from a far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thine outstretched arm, when they shall come and pray toward this house,
且汝の民イスラエルの者にあらずして汝の大なる名と強き手と伸たる腕とのために遠き國より來れる異邦人においてもまた若來りてこの家にむかひて祈らば
33 then hear thou from heaven, even from thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to thee for, that all the peoples of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as do thy people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.
汝の住處なる天より聽き凡て異邦人の汝に龥もとむるごとく成たまへ汝かく地の諸の民をして汝の名を知らしめ汝の民イスラエルの爲ごとくに汝を畏れしめ又わが建たる此家は汝の名をもて稱らるるといふことを知しめたまへ
34 If thy people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way thou shall send them, and they pray to thee toward this city which thou have chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name,
汝の民その敵と戰はんとて汝の遣はしたまふ道に進める時もし汝が選びたまへるこの邑およびわが汝の名のために建たる家にむかひて汝に祈らば
35 then hear thou from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
汝天より彼らの祈祷と懇願を聽て彼らを助けたまへ
36 If they sin against thee (for there is no man that sins not), and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to a land far off or near,
人は罪を犯さざる者なければ彼ら汝に罪を犯すことありて汝かれらを怒り彼らをその敵に付したまひて敵かれらを虜として遠き地または近き地に曳ゆかん時
37 yet if they shall rethink themselves in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have dealt wickedly,
彼らその擄れゆきし地において自ら心に了るところあり其俘擄の地において翻へりて汝に祈り我らは罪を犯し悖れる事を爲し惡き事を行ひたりと言ひ
38 if they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity where they have carried them captive, and pray toward their land, which thou gave to their fathers, and the city which thou have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name,
その擄へゆかれし俘擄の地にて一心一念に汝に立歸り汝がその先祖に與へたまへる地にむかひ汝が選びたまへる邑と我が汝の名のために建たる家にむかひて祈らば
39 then hear thou from heaven, even from thy dwelling-place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their case, and forgive thy people who have sinned against thee.
汝の住處なる天より彼らの祈祷と懇願を聽て彼らを助け汝の民が汝にむかひて罪を犯したるを赦したまへ
40 Now, O my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attendant to the prayer that is made in this place.
然ば我神よ願くは此處にて爲す祈祷に汝の目を開き耳を傾むけたまヘ
41 Now therefore arise, O Jehovah God, into thy resting-place, thou, and the ark of thy strength. Let thy priests, O Jehovah God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy sanctified rejoice in goodness.
ヱホバ神よ今汝および汝の力ある契約の櫃起て汝の安居の所にいりたまへヱホバ神よ願くは汝の祭司等に拯救の衣を纒はせ汝の聖徒等に恩惠を喜こばせたまヘ
42 O Jehovah God, do not turn away the face of thine anointed. Remember thy loving kindnesses to David thy servant.
ヱホバ神よ汝の膏そそぎし者の面を黜ぞけたまふ勿れ汝の僕ダビデの徳行を記念たまへ
