2 Chronicles 31
1 Now when all this was over, all the men of Israel who were present went out into the towns of Judah, causing the stone pillars to be broken up and the wood pillars to be cut down, pulling down the high places and the altars in all Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, till all were gone. Then all the children of Israel went back to their towns, every man to his property.
この事すべて終りしかば其處に在しイスラエル人みなユダの邑々に出ゆき柱像を碎きアシラ像を斫たふしユダとベニヤミンの全地より崇邱と祭壇を崩し絶ちエフライム、マナセにも及ぼして遂にまつたく之を毀ち而してイスラエルの子孫おのおのその邑々に還りて己の產業にいたれり
2 Then Hezekiah put in order the divisions of the priests and Levites, every man in his division, in relation to his work, for the burned offerings and peace-offerings, and for the ordering of worship and for giving praise at the doors of the Lord's house.
ヒゼキヤ祭司およびレビ人の班列を定めその班列にしたがひて各々にその職を行はしむ即ち祭司とレビ人をして燔祭および酬恩祭を献げしめヱホバの營の門において奉事をなし感謝をなし讃美をなさしめ
3 And he gave the king's part of his private property for the burned offerings, that is, for the morning and evening offerings, and the offerings for the Sabbath and the new moons and the regular feasts, as it is recorded in the law of the Lord.
また己の財產の中より王の分を出して燔祭のためにす即ち朝夕の燔祭および安息日朔日節會などの燔祭のために之を出してヱホバの律法に記さるる如くす
4 In addition, he gave orders to the people of Jerusalem to give to the priests and Levites that part which was theirs by right, so that they might be strong in keeping the law of the Lord.
彼またヱルサレムに住む民に祭司とレビ人にその分を與へんことを命ず是かれらをしてヱホバの律法に身を委ねしめんとてなり
5 And when the order was made public, straight away the children of Israel gave, in great amounts, the first-fruits of their grain and wine and oil and honey, and of the produce of their fields; and they took in a tenth part of everything, a great store.
其命令の傳はるや否やイスラエルの子孫穀物酒油蜜ならびに田野の諸の產物の初を多く献げまた一切の物の什一を夥多しく携へきたる
6 And the children of Israel and Judah, who were living in the towns of Judah came with the tenth part of their oxen and sheep, and a tenth of all the holy things which were to be given to the Lord their God, and put them in great masses.
ユダの邑々に住るイスラエルとユダの子孫もまた牛羊の什一ならびにその神ヱホバに納むべき聖物の什一を携へきたりてこれを積疊ぬ
7 The first store of things was put down in the third month, and in the seventh month the masses were complete.
三月に之を積疊ぬることを始め七月にいたりて之を終れり
8 And when Hezekiah and the rulers came and saw all the store of goods, they gave praise to the Lord and to his people Israel.
ヒゼキヤおよび牧伯等きたりて其積疊ねたる物を見ヱホバとその民イスラエルを祝せり
9 Then Hezekiah put questions to the priests and Levites about the store of goods.
ヒゼキヤその積疊ねたる物の事を祭司とレビ人に問尋ねければ
10 And Azariah, the chief priest, of the family of Zadok, said in answer, From the time when the people first came with their offerings into the house of the Lord, we have had food enough, and more than enough: for the blessing of the Lord is on his people; and there is this great store which has not been used.
ザドクの家より出し祭司の長アザリヤ彼に應へて言けるは民ヱホバの室に禮物を携ふることを始めしより以來我儕飽までに食ひしがその餘れる所はなはだ多しヱホバその民をめぐみたまひたればなりその餘れる所かくのごとく夥多しと
11 Then Hezekiah said that store-rooms were to be made ready in the house of the Lord; and this was done.
ヒゼキヤ、ヱホバの家の内に室を設くることを命じければ則ちこれを設け
12 And in them they put all the offerings and the tenths and the holy things, keeping nothing back, and over them was Conaniah the Levite, with Shimei his brother second to him.
忠實にその禮物什一および奉納物を携へいれりレビ人コナニヤこれを主どりその兄弟シメイこれに副ふ
13 And Jehiel and Azaziah and Nahath and Asahel and Jerimoth and Jozabad and Eliel and Ismachiah and Mahath and Benaiah were overseers, under the directions of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the order of Hezekiah the king and Azariah, the ruler of the house of God.
ヱヒエル、アザジヤ、ナハテ、アサヘル、ヱレモテ、ヨザバデ、ヱリエル、イスマキヤ、マハテ、ベナヤ等ヒゼキヤ王および神の室の宰アザリヤの命に依りコナニヤ及びその兄弟シメイの手下につきてこれが監督者となる
14 And Kore, the son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the east door, had control of the offerings freely given to God, and the distribution of the offerings of the Lord and the most holy things.
東の門を守る者レビ人ヱムナの子コレ神に献ぐる誠意よりの禮物を司どりてヱホバの献納物および至聖物を頒つ
15 And under him were Eden and Miniamin and Jeshua and Shemaiah and Amariah and Shecaniah, in the towns of the priests, who were made responsible for giving it to all their brothers, by divisions, to small and great:
その手につく者はエデン、ミニヤミン、ヱシユア、シマヤ、アマリヤおよびシカニヤみな祭司の邑々に居てその職を盡しその兄弟に班列に依て之を頒つ大小ともに均し
16 As well as to all the males, of three years old and over, listed by their families, who went into the house of the Lord to do what was needed day by day, for their special work with their divisions.
此外にまた凡て名簿に載たる男子三歳以上にしてヱホバの室に入りその班列にしたがひて日々の職分を盡し擔任の勤務を爲すところの者に之を頒つ
17 And the families of the priests were listed by their fathers' names, but the Levites, of twenty years old and over, were listed in relation to their work in their divisions;
またその宗家にしたがひて名簿に載られその班列にしたがひて擔任の事を執行ふところの祭司および二十歳以上のレビ人
18 And in the lists were all their little ones and their wives and their sons and daughters, through all the people: they made themselves holy in the positions which they were given.
ならびに名簿に載たるその小き者その妻その男子その女子などに盡く之を頒つ會中すべて然り即ち彼等は潔白忠實にその職を盡せり
19 And as for the sons of Aaron, the priests, living in the country on the outskirts of their towns, every different town there were men, marked out by name, to give their part of the goods to all the males among the priests, and to all who were listed among the Levites.
また邑々の郊地に居るアロンの子孫たる祭司等のためには邑ごとに人を名指し選び祭司の中の一切の男およびレビ人の中の名簿に載せたる一切の者にその分を予へしむ
20 This Hezekiah did through all Judah; he did what was good and right and true before the Lord his God.
ヒゼキヤ、ユダ全國に斯のごとく爲し善事正き事忠實なる事をその神ヱホバの前に行へり
21 And for everything he undertook, in connection with the work of the house of God and his law and orders, he got directions from God and did it with serious purpose; and things went well for him.
凡てその神の室の職務につき律法につき誡命につきて行ひ始めてその神を求めし工は悉く心をつくして行ひてこれを成就たり
