Chronicles II 30
1 And Ezekias sent to all Israel and Juda, and wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasse, that they should come into the house of the Lord to Jerusalem, to keep the passover to the Lord God of Israel.
茲にヒゼキヤ、イスラエルとユダに遍ねく人を遣しまた書をエフライムとマナセに書おくりヱルサレムなるヱホバの室に來りてイスラエルの神ヱホバに逾越節を行はんことを勸む
2 For the king, and the princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, designed to keep the passover in the second month.
王すでにその牧伯等およびヱルサレムにある會衆と議り二月をもて逾越節を行はんと定めたり
3 For they could not keep it at that time, because a sufficient number of priest had not purified themselves, and the people was not gathered to Jerusalem.
其は祭司の身を潔めし者足ず民またヱルサレムに集らざりしに因て彼時にこれを行ふことを得ざればなり
4 And the proposal pleased the king and the congregation.
王も會衆もこの事を見て善となし
5 And they established a decree that a proclamation should go through all Israel, from Bersabee to Dan, that they should come and keep the passover to the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem: for the multitude had not done it lately according to the scripture.
即ちこの事を定めてベエルシバよりダンまでイスラエルに遍ねく宣布しめしヱルサレムに來りてイスラエルの神ヱホバに逾越節を行はんことを勸む是はその録されたるごとくにこれを行ふ事久しく無りしが故なり
6 And the posts went with the letters from the king and the princes to all Israel and Juda, according to the command of the king, saying, Children of Israel, return to the Lord God of Abraam, and Isaac, and Israel, and bring back them that have escaped [even] those that were left of the hand of the king of Assyria.
飛脚すなはち王とその牧伯等が授けし書をもちてイスラエルとユダを遍ねく行めぐり王の命を傳へて云ふイスラエルの子孫よ汝らアブラハム、イサク、イスラエルの神ヱホバに起歸れ然ばヱホバ、アツスリヤの王等の手より逃れて遺るところの汝らに歸りたまはん
7 And be not as your fathers, and your brethren, who revolted from the Lord God of their fathers, and he gave them up to desolation, as ye see.
汝らの父および兄弟の如くならざれ彼らその先祖の神ヱホバにむかひて罪を犯したればこれを滅亡に就しめたまへり汝らが見るごとし
8 And now harden not your hearts, as your fathers [did]: give glory to the Lord God, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified for ever: and serve the Lord your God, and he shall turn away [his] fierce anger from you.
然ば汝らの父のごとく汝ら項を強くせずしてヱホバに歸服しその永久に聖別たまひし聖所に入り汝らの神ヱホバに事へよ然ればその烈しき怒なんぢらを離れん
9 For when ye turn to the Lord, your brethren and your children shall be pitied before all that have carried them captives, and he will restore [you] to this land: for the Lord our God is merciful and pitiful, and will not turn away his face from you, if we return to him.
汝ら若ヱホバに歸らば汝らの兄弟および子女その己を擄へゆきし者の前に衿憫を得て遂にまた此國にかへらん汝らの神ヱホバは恩惠あり憐憫ある者にましませば汝らこれに起かへるにおいては面を汝らに背けたまはじと
10 So the posts went through from city to city in mount Ephraim, and Manasse, and as far as Zabulon: and they as it were laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
かくのごとく飛脚エフライム、マナセの國にいりて邑より邑に行めぐりて遂にゼブルンまで至りしが人衆これを嘲り笑へり
11 But the men of Aser, and [some] of Manasses and of Zabulon, were ashamed, and came to Jerusalem and Juda.
但しアセル、マナセおよびゼブルンの中より身を卑くしてヱルサレムに來りし者もあり
12 And the hand of the Lord was [present] to give them one heart to come, to do according to the commands of the king and of the princes, by the word of the Lord.
またユダに於ては神その力をいだして人々に心を一にせしめ王と牧伯等がヱホバの言に依て傳へし命令を之に行はしむ
13 And a great multitude were gathered to Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
斯りしかば二月にいたりて民酵いれぬバンの節をおこなはんとて多くヱルサレムに來り集れりその會はなはだ大なりき
14 And they arose, and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all on which they burnt incense to false [gods] they tore down and cast into the brook Kedron.
彼等すなはち起てヱルサレムにある諸の壇を取のぞきまた一切の香壇を取のぞきてこれをキデロン川に投すて
15 Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites repented, and purified [themselves], and brought whole-burnt-offerings into the house of the Lord.
二月の十四日に逾越の物を宰れり是において祭司等およびレビ人は自ら恥ぢ身を潔めてヱホバの室に燧祭を携へきたり
16 And they stood at their post, according to their ordinance, according to the commandment of Moses the man of God: and the priests received the blood from the hand of the Levites.
神の人モーセの律法に循ひ例に依て各々その所に立ち而して祭司等レビ人の手より血を受て灑げり
17 For a great part of the congregation was not sanctified; and the Levites were [ready] to kill the passover for every one who could not sanctify himself to the Lord.
時に會衆の中に未だ身を潔めざる者多かりければレビ人その潔からざる一切の人々に代りて逾越の物を宰りてヱホバに潔め献ぐ
18 For the greatest part of the people of Ephraim, and Manasse, and Issachar, and Zabulon, had not purified [themselves], but ate the passover contrary to the scripture. On this account also Ezekias prayed concerning them, saying,
また衆多の民すたはちエフライム、マナセ、イツサカル、ゼブルンより來りし衆多の者未だ身を潔むる事をせずその書録されし所に違ひて逾越の物を食へり是をもてヒゼキヤこれがために祈りて云ふ
19 The good Lord be merciful with regard to every heart that sincerely seeks the Lord God of their fathers, and [is] not [purified] according to the purification of the sanctuary.
惠ふかきヱホバよ凡そその心を傾けて神を求めその先祖の神ヱホバを求むる者は假令聖所の潔斎に循はざるとも願くは是を赦したまへと
20 And the Lord hearkened to Ezekias, and healed the people.
ヱホバ、ヒゼキヤに聽て民を醫したまへり
21 And the children of Israel who were present in Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great joy; and they continued to sing hymns to the Lord daily, and the priests and the Levites [played] on instruments to the Lord.
ヱルサレムにきたれるイスラエルの子孫は大なる喜悦をいだきて七日の間酵いれぬパンの節をおこなへり又レビ人と祭司は日々にヱホバを讃美し高聲の樂を奏してヱホバを頌へたり
22 And Ezekias encouraged all the Levites, and those that had good understanding of the Lord: and they completely kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days, offering peace-offerings, and confessing to the Lord God of their fathers.
ヒゼキヤ、ヱホバの奉事に善通じをる一切のレビ人を深く勞らふ斯人衆酬恩祭を献げその先祖の神ヱホバに感謝して七日のあひだ節の物を食へり
23 And the congregation purposed together to keep other seven days: and they kept seven days with gladness.
かくて又全會あひ議りて更に七日を守らんと決め喜悦をいだきてまた七日を守れり
24 For Ezekias set apart for Juda, [even] for the congregation, a thousand calves and seven thousand sheep; and the princes set apart for the people a thousand calves and ten thousand sheep: and the holy things of the priests abundantly.
時にユダの王ヒゼキヤは牡牛一千羊七千を會衆に餽り又牧伯等は牡牛一千羊一萬を會衆に餽れり祭司もまた衆く身を潔めたり
25 And all the congregation, the priests and the Levites, rejoiced, and all the congregation of Juda, and they that were present of Jerusalem, and the strangers that came from the land of Israel, and the dwellers in Juda.
ユダの全會衆および祭司レビ人ならびにイスラエルより來れる全會衆およびイスラエルの地より來れる異邦人とユダに住む異邦人みな喜べり
26 And there was great joy in Jerusalem: from the days of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not such a feast in Jerusalem.
かくヱルサレムに大なる喜悦ありきイスラエルの王ダビデの子ソロモンの時より以來かくのごとき事ヱルサレムに在ざりしなり
27 Then the priests the Levites rose up and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came into his holy dwelling-place, [even] into heaven.
この時祭司レビ人起て民を祝しけるにその言聽れその祈祷ヱホバの聖き住所なる天に達せり
