2 Chronicles 7
1 Now when Solomon's prayers were ended, fire came down from heaven, burning up all the offerings; and the house was full of the glory of the Lord.
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 And the priests were not able to go into the house of the Lord, for the Lord's house was full of the glory of the Lord.
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 And all the children of Israel were looking on when the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord was on the house; and they went down on their knees, with their faces to the earth, worshipping and praising the Lord, and saying, He is good; for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
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 made offerings before the Lord.
斯て王および民みなヱホバの前に犠牲を献ぐ
5 King Solomon made an offering of twenty-two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people kept the feast of the opening of 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 And the priests were in their places, and the Levites with their instruments of music for the Lord's song, which David the king had made for the praise of the Lord whose mercy is unchanging for ever, when David gave praise by their hand; and the priests were sounding horns before them; and all Israel were on their feet.
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 made holy the middle of the open square in front of the house of the Lord, offering the burned offerings there, and the fat of the peace-offerings; for there was not room on the brass altar which Solomon had made for all the burned offerings and the meal offerings and the fat.
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 Solomon kept the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great meeting, for the people had come together from the way into Hamath and from as far as the river of Egypt.
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 And on the eighth day they had a holy meeting; the offerings for making the altar holy went on for seven days, and the feast for seven days.
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 And on the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he sent the people away to their tents, full of joy and glad in their hearts, because of all the good which the Lord had done to David and to Solomon and to Israel his people.
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 So Solomon came to the end of building the house of the Lord and the king's house; and everything which it was in his mind to make in the house of the Lord and for himself had been well done.
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 Now the Lord came to Solomon in a vision by night, and said to him, I have given ear to your prayer, and have taken this place for myself as a house where offerings are to be made.
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, at my word, heaven is shut up, so that there is no rain, or if I send locusts on the land for its destruction, or if I send disease on 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 If my people, on whom my name is named, make themselves low and come to me in prayer, searching for me and turning from their evil ways; then I will give ear from heaven, overlooking their sin, and will give life again to 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 awake to the prayers made 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 taken this house for myself and made it holy, so that my name may be there for ever; and my eyes and my heart will be there at all times.
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 will go on your way before me as David your father did, doing whatever I have given you orders to do and keeping my laws and my decisions:
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 make strong the seat of your kingdom, as I gave my word to David your father, saying, You will never be without a man to be ruler in 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 are turned away from me, and do not keep my orders and my laws which I have put before you, but go and make yourselves servants to other gods, giving them worship:
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 have this people uprooted out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will put away from before my eyes, and make it an example and a word of shame among all 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 this house will become a mass of broken walls, and everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder, and will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land and to this house?
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 their answer will be, Because they were turned away from the Lord, the God of their fathers, who took them out of the land of Egypt, and took for themselves other gods and gave them worship and became their servants: that is why he has sent all this evil on 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
