2 Chronicles 29
1 Hezekiah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
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
2 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father David had done.
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
3 In the first month of the first year of his reign, Hezekiah opened and repaired the doors of the house of the LORD.
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
4 Then he brought in the priests and Levites and gathered them in the square on the east side.
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
5 “Listen to me, O Levites,” he said. “Consecrate yourselves now and consecrate the house of the LORD, the God of your fathers. Remove from the Holy Place every impurity.
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
6 For our fathers were unfaithful and did evil in the sight of the LORD our God. They abandoned Him, turned their faces away from the dwelling place of the LORD, and turned their backs on Him.
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
7 They also shut the doors of the portico and extinguished the lamps. They did not burn incense or present burnt offerings in the Holy Place of the God of Israel.
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
8 Therefore, the wrath of the LORD has fallen upon Judah and Jerusalem, and He has made them an object of terror, horror, and mockery, as you can see with your own eyes.
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
9 For behold, this is why our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and daughters and wives are in captivity.
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
10 Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with the LORD, the God of Israel, so that His fierce anger will turn away from us.
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
11 Now, my sons, do not be negligent, for the LORD has chosen you to stand before Him, to serve Him, to minister before Him, and to burn incense.”
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
12 Then the Levites set to work: Mahath son of Amasai and Joel son of Azariah from the Kohathites; Kish son of Abdi and Azariah son of Jehallelel from the Merarites; Joah son of Zimmah and Eden son of Joah from the Gershonites;
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
13 Shimri and Jeuel from the Elizaphanites; Zechariah and Mattaniah from the Asaphites;
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
14 Jehiel and Shimei from the Hemanites; and Shemaiah and Uzziel from the Jeduthunites.
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
15 When they had assembled their brothers and consecrated themselves, they went in to cleanse the house of the LORD, according to the command of the king by the words of the LORD.
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
16 So the priests went inside the house of the LORD to cleanse it, and they brought out to the courtyard all the unclean things that they found in the temple of the LORD. Then the Levites took these things and carried them out to the Kidron Valley.
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
17 They began the consecration on the first day of the first month, and on the eighth day of the month they reached the portico of the LORD. For eight more days they consecrated the house of the LORD itself, finishing on the sixteenth day of the first month.
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
18 Then they went in to King Hezekiah and reported, “We have cleansed the entire house of the LORD, the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the table of the showbread with all its utensils.
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
19 Moreover, we have prepared and consecrated all the articles that King Ahaz in his unfaithfulness cast aside during his reign. They are now in front of the altar of the LORD.”
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
20 Early the next morning King Hezekiah gathered the city officials and went up to the house of the LORD.
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
21 They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats as a sin offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And the king commanded the priests, the descendants of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the LORD.
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
22 So they slaughtered the bulls, and the priests took the blood and sprinkled it on the altar. They slaughtered the rams and sprinkled the blood on the altar. And they slaughtered the lambs and sprinkled the blood on the altar.
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
23 Then they brought the goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly, who laid their hands on them.
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
24 And the priests slaughtered the goats and put their blood on the altar for a sin offering, to make atonement for all Israel, because the king had ordered the burnt offering and the sin offering for all Israel.
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
25 Hezekiah stationed the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, harps, and lyres according to the command of David, of Gad the king’s seer, and of Nathan the prophet. For the command had come from the LORD through His prophets.
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
26 The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
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
27 And Hezekiah ordered that the burnt offering be sacrificed on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD and the trumpets began as well, accompanied by the instruments of David king of Israel.
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
28 The whole assembly was worshiping, the singers were singing, and the trumpeters were playing. All this continued until the burnt offering was completed.
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
29 When the offerings were completed, the king and all those present with him bowed down and worshiped.
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
30 Then King Hezekiah and his officials ordered the Levites to sing praises to the LORD in the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with gladness and bowed their heads and worshiped.
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
31 Then Hezekiah said, “Now that you have consecrated yourselves to the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings to the house of the LORD.” So the assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings, and all whose hearts were willing brought burnt offerings.
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
32 The number of burnt offerings the assembly brought was seventy bulls, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs; all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.
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
33 And the consecrated offerings were six hundred bulls and three thousand sheep.
また奉納物は牛六百羊三千なりき
34 However, since there were not enough priests to skin all the burnt offerings, their Levite brothers helped them until the work was finished and until the priests had been consecrated. For the Levites had been more diligent in consecrating themselves than the priests had been.
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
35 Furthermore, the burnt offerings were abundant, along with the fat of the peace offerings and the drink offerings for the burnt offerings. So the service of the house of the LORD was established.
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
36 Then Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced at what God had prepared for the people, because everything had been accomplished so quickly.
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
