2 Chronicles 7
1 When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.
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
2 The priests were unable to enter the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled it.
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
3 When all the Israelites saw the fire coming down and the glory of the LORD above the temple, they bowed down on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave thanks to the LORD: “For He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.”
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
4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.
斯て王および民みなヱホバの前に犠牲を献ぐ
5 And King Solomon offered a sacrifice of 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
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
6 The priests stood at their posts, as did the Levites with the musical instruments of the LORD, which King David had made for giving thanks to the LORD and with which David had offered praise, saying, “For His loving devotion endures forever.” Across from the Levites, the priests sounded trumpets, and all the Israelites were standing.
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
7 Then Solomon consecrated the middle of the courtyard in front of the house of the LORD, and there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, since the bronze altar he had made could not contain all these offerings.
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
8 So at that time Solomon and all Israel with him—a very great assembly of people from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of Egypt—kept the feast for seven days.
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
9 On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, for the dedication of the altar had lasted seven days, and the feast seven days more.
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
10 On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, Solomon sent the people away to their homes, joyful and glad of heart for the good things that the LORD had done for David, for Solomon, and for His people Israel.
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
11 When Solomon had finished the house of the LORD and the royal palace, successfully carrying out all that was in his heart to do for the house of the LORD and for his own palace,
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
12 the LORD appeared to him at night and said to him: “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.
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
13 If I close the sky so there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send a plague among My people,
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
14 and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
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
15 Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.
今より我この處の祈祷に目を啓き耳を傾むけん
16 For I have now chosen and consecrated this temple so that My Name may be there forever. My eyes and My heart will be there for all time.
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
17 And as for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, doing all I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and ordinances,
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
18 then I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted with your father David when I said, ‘You will never fail to have a man to rule over Israel.’
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
19 But if you turn away and forsake the statutes and commandments I have set before you, and if you go off to serve and worship other gods,
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
20 then I will uproot Israel from the soil I have given them, and I will banish from My presence this temple I have sanctified for My Name. I will make it an object of scorn and ridicule among all the peoples.
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
21 And when this temple has become a heap of rubble, all who pass by it will be appalled and say, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’
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
22 And others will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—because of this, He has brought all this disaster upon them.’”
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
