< 2 Chronicles 23 >
1 In the seventh year, Jehoiada made himself strong, and made an agreement with the captains of hundreds, Azariah, the son of Jeroham, Ishmael, the son of Jehohanan, Azariah, the son of Obed, Maaseiah, the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat, the son of Zichri.
第七年にいたりヱホヤダ力を強してヱロハムの子アザリヤ、ヨハナンの子イシマエル、オベデの子アザリア、アダヤの子マアセヤ、ジクリの子エシヤパテなどいふ百人の長等を招きて己と契約を結ばしむ
2 And they went through Judah, getting together the Levites and the heads of families in Israel from all the towns of Judah, and they came to Jerusalem.
是において彼らユダを行めぐりてユダの一切の邑よりレビ人を集めまたイスラエルの族長を集めてヱルサレムに歸り
3 And all the people made an agreement with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, Truly, the king's son will be king, as the Lord has said about the sons of David.
而してその會衆みな神の家において王と契約を結べり時にヱホヤダかれらに言けるけるはダビデの子孫の事につきてヱホバの宣まひしごとく王の子位に即べきなり
4 This is what you are to do: let a third of you, of the priests and Levites, who come in on the Sabbath, keep the doors;
然ば汝ら斯なすべし汝ら祭司およびレビ人の安息日に入きたる者は三分の一は門を守り
5 And a third are to be stationed at the king's house; and a third at the doorway of the horses: while all the people are waiting in the open spaces round the house of the Lord.
三分の一は王の家に居り三分の一は基礎の門に居り民はみなヱホバの室の庭に居べし
6 But let no one come into the house of the Lord but only the priests and those of the Levites who have work to do there; they may go in for they are holy; but the rest of the people are to keep the orders of the Lord.
祭司と奉事をするレビ人の外は何人もヱホバの家に入べからず彼らは聖者なれば入ことを得るなり民はみなヱホバの殿を守るべし
7 And the Levites are to make a circle round the king, every man being armed; and any man who comes into the house is to be put to death; you are to keep with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.
レビ人はおのおの手に武器を執て王を繞りて立べし家に入る者をば凡て殺すべし汝らは王の出る時にも入る時にも王とともに居れと
8 So the Levites and all Judah did as Jehoiada the priest had given them orders: every one took with him his men, those who were to come in and those who were to go out on the Sabbath; for Jehoiada had not sent away the divisions.
是においてレビ人およびユダの人衆は祭司ヱホヤダが凡て命じたる如くに行ひ各々その手の人の安息日に入來べき者と安息日に出ゆくべき者とを率ゐ居れり祭司ヱホヤダ班列の者を去せざればなり
9 Then Jehoiada the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the spears and body-covers which had been King David's and which were kept in the house of God.
祭司ヱホヤダすなはち神の家にあるダビデ王の鎗および大楯小楯を百人の長等に交し
10 And he put all the people in position, every man with his instruments of war in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left, by the altar and the house and all round the king.
一切の民をして各々武器を手に執て王の四周に立ち殿の右の端より殿の左の端におよびて壇と殿にそふて居しむ
11 Then they made the king's son come out, and they put the crown on his head and gave him the arm-bands and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons put the holy oil on him and said, Long life to the king.
斯て人衆王の子を携へ出し之に冠冕を戴かせ證詞をわたして王となし祭司ヱホヤダおよびその子等これに膏をそそげり而して皆王長壽かれと言ふ
12 Now Athaliah, hearing the noise of the people running and praising the king, came to the people in the house of the Lord:
茲にアタリヤ民と近衛兵と王を讃る者との聲を聞きヱホバの室に入て民の所に至り
13 And looking, she saw the king in his place by the pillar at the doorway, and the captains and the horns by his side; and all the people of the land were giving signs of joy and sounding the horns; and the makers of melody were playing on instruments of music, taking the chief part in the song of praise. Then Athaliah, violently parting her robes, said, Broken faith, broken faith!
視に王は入口にてその柱の傍に立ち王の側に軍長と喇叭手立をり亦國の民みな喜びて喇叭を吹き謳歌者樂を奏し先だちて讃美を歌ひをりしかばアタリヤその衣を裂き叛逆なり叛逆なりと言り
14 Then Jehoiada the priest gave orders to the captains of hundreds who had authority over the army, saying, Take her outside the lines, and let anyone who goes after her be put to death with the sword. For the priest said, Let her not be put to death in the house of the Lord.
時に祭司ヱホヤダ軍兵を統る百人の長等を呼出してこれに言ふ彼をして列の間を通りて出しめよ凡て彼に從がふ者をば劍をもて殺すべしと祭司は彼をヱホバの室に殺すべからずとて斯いへるなり
15 So they put their hands on her, and she went to the king's house by the doorway of the king's horses; and there she was put to death.
是をもて之がために路をひらき王の家の馬の門の入口まで往しめて其處にて之を殺せり
16 And Jehoiada made an agreement between the Lord and all the people and the king, that they would be the Lord's people.
斯てヱホヤダ己と一切の民と王との間にわれらは皆ヱホバの民とならんことの契約を結べり
17 Then all the people went to the house of Baal and had it pulled down, and its altars and images broken up; and Mattan, the priest of Baal, they put to death before the altars.
是において民みなバアルの室にゆきて之を毀ちその壇とその像を打碎きバアルの祭司マツタンを壇の前に殺せり
18 And Jehoiada put the work and the care of the house of the Lord into the hands of the priests and the Levites, who had been grouped in divisions by David to make burned offerings to the Lord, as it is recorded in the law of Moses, with joy and song as David had said.
ヱホヤダまたヱホバの室の職事を祭司レビ人の手に委ぬ昔ダビデ、レビ人を班列にわかちてヱホバの室におきモーセの律法に記されたる所にしたがひて歓喜と謳歌とをもてヱホバの燔祭を献げしめたりき今このダビデの例に傚ふ
19 And he put door-keepers at the doors of the Lord's house, to see that no one who was unclean in any way might come in.
彼またヱホバの室の門々に看守者を立せ置き身の汚れたる者には何によりて汚れたるにもあれ凡て入ことを得ざらしむ
20 Then he took the captains of hundreds and the chiefs and the rulers of the people and all the people of the land, and they came down with the king from the house of the Lord through the higher doorway into the king's house, and put the king on the seat of the kingdom.
斯てヱホヤダ百人の長等と貴族と民の牧伯等および國の一切の民を率ゐてヱホバの家より王を導きくだり上の門よりして王の家にいり王を國の位に坐せしめたり
21 So all the people of the land were glad and the town was quiet, for they had put Athaliah to death with the sword.
斯りしかば國の民みな喜こびて邑は平穩なりきアタリヤは劍にて殺さる
