Chronicles II 34
1 Josias was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
ヨシアは八歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて三十一年の間世を治めたり
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father David, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.
彼はヱホバの善と觀たまふ事を爲しその父ダビデの道にあゆみて右にも左にも曲らざりき
3 And in the eighth year of his reign, and he [being] yet a youth, he began to seek the Lord God of his father David: and in the twelfth year of his reign he began to purge Juda and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the ornaments for the altars, and the molten images.
即ち尚若かりしかどもその治世の八年にその父ダビデの神を求むる事を始めその十二年には崇邱アシラ像刻たる像鋳たる像などを除きてユダとヱルサレムを潔むることを始め
4 And he pulled down the altars of Baalim that were before his face, and the high places that were above them; and he cut down the groves, and the graven images, and broke in pieces the molten images, and reduced them to powder, and cast [it] upon the surface of the tombs of those who [had] sacrificed to them.
諸のバアルの壇を己の前にて毀たしめ其上に立る日の像を斫たふしアシラ像および雕像鋳像を打碎きて粉々にし是等に犠牲を献げし者等の墓の上に其を撒ちらし
5 And he burnt the bones of the priests upon the altars, and purged Juda and Jerusalem.
祭司の骨をその諸の壇の上に焚き斯してユダとヱルサレムを潔めたり
6 And [he did so] in the cities of Manasse, and Ephraim, and Symeon, and Nephthali, and the places round about them.
またマナセ、エフライム、シメオンおよびナフタリの荒たる邑々にも斯なし
7 And he pulled down the altars and the groves, and he cut the idols in small pieces, and cut off all the high places from all the land of Israel, and returned to Jerusalem.
諸壇を毀ちアシラ像および諸の雕像を微塵に打碎きイスラエル全國の日の像を盡く斫たふしてヱルサレムに歸りぬ
8 And in the eighteenth year of his reign, after having cleansed the land, and the house, he sent Saphan the son of Ezelias, and Maasa prefect of the city, and Juach son of Joachaz his recorder, to repair the house of the Lord his God.
ヨシアその治世の十八年にいたりて已に國と殿とを潔め了りその神ヱホバの家を修繕はしめんとてアザリヤの子シヤパン邑の知事マアセヤおよびヨアハズの子史官ヨアを遣せり
9 And they came to Chelcias the high priest, and gave the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites who kept the gate collected of the hand of Manasse and Ephraim, and of the princes, and of every one that was left in Israel, and of the children of Juda and Benjamin, and of the dwellers in Jerusalem.
彼ら祭司の長ヒルキヤの許に至りてヱホバの室に入し金を交せり是は門守のレビ人がマナセ、エフライムおよび其餘の一切のイスラエル人ならびにユダとベニヤミンの人およびヱルサレムの民の手より斂めたる者なり
10 And they gave it into the hand of the workmen, who were appointed in the house of the Lord, and they gave it to the workmen who wrought in the house of the Lord, to repair and strengthen the house.
やがてヱホバの室を監督するところの工師等の手にこれを交しければ彼等ヱホバの室にて操作ところの工人にこれを交して室を繕ひ修めしむ
11 They gave [it] also to the carpenters and builders, to buy squared stones, and timber for beams to cover the houses which the kings of Juda had destroyed.
即ち木匠および建築者に之を交しユダの王等が壞りたる家々のために琢石および骨木を買しめ梁木をととのはしむ
12 And the men [were] faithfully [engaged] in the works: and over them were superintendents, Jeth and Abdias, Levites of the sons of Merari, and Zacharias and Mosollam, of the sons of Caath, [appointed] to oversee; and every Levite, and every one that understood [how] to play on musical instruments.
その人々忠實に操作けりその監督者はメラリの子孫たるヤハテ、オバデヤおよびコハテの子孫たるゼカリヤ、メシユラムなどのレビ人なりき彼等すなはち之を主どる又樂器を弄ぶに精巧なるレビ人凡て之に伴なふ
13 And [overseers were] over the burden-bearers, and over all the workmen in the respective works; and of the Levites [were appointed] scribes, and judges, and porters.
彼等亦荷を負ものを監督し種々の工事に操作ところの諸の工人をつかさどれり別のレビ人書記となり役人となり門守となれり
14 And when they brought forth the money that had been brought into the house of the Lord, Chelcias the priest found a book of the law of the Lord [given] by the hand of Moses.
ヱホバの室にいりし金を取いだすに當りて祭司ヒルキヤ、モーセの傳へしヱホバの律法の書を見いだせり
15 And Chelcias answered and said to Saphan the scribe, I have found a book of the law in the house of the Lord. And Chelcias gave the book to Saphan.
ヒルキヤ是において書記官シヤパンにきて言けるは我ヱホバの室にて律法の書を見いだせりと而してヒルキヤその書をシヤパンに付しければ
16 And Saphan brought in the book to the king, and moreover gave an account to the king, [saying, This is] all the money given into the hand of thy servants that work.
シヤパンその書を王の所に持ゆき王に復命まうして言ふ僕等その手に委ねられし所を盡く爲し
17 And they have collected the money that was found in the house of the Lord, and given it into the hand of the overseers, and into the hand of them that do the work.
ヱホバの室にありし金を打あけて之を監督者の手および工人の手に交せりと
18 And Saphan the scribe brought word to the king, saying, Chelcias the priest has given me a book. And Saphan read it before the king.
書記官シヤパン亦王に告て祭司ヒルキヤ我に一の書を交せりと言ひシヤパンそれを王の前に讀けるに
19 And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the law, that he rent his garments.
王その律法の言を聞て衣服を裂り
20 And the king commanded Chelcias, and Achicam the son of Saphan, and Abdom the son of Michaias, and Saphan the scribe, and Asia the servant of the king, saying,
而して王ヒルキヤとシヤパンの子アヒカムとミカの子アブドンと書記官シヤパンと王の内臣アサヤとに命じて言ふ
21 Go, enquire of the Lord for me, and for every one that is left in Israel and Juda, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath of the Lord [which] has been kindled amongst us, because our fathers have not hearkened to the words of the Lord, to do according to all the things written in this book.
汝ら往てこの見當りし書の言につきて我の爲またイスラエルとユダに遺れる者等のためにヱホバに問へ我らの先祖等はヱホバの言を守らず凡て此書に記されたる所を行ふことを爲ざりしに因てヱホバ我等に大なる怒を斟ぎ給ふべければなりと
22 And Chelcias went, and [the others] whom the king told, to Olda the prophetess, the wife of Sellem son of Thecoe, son of Aras, who kept the commandments; and she dwelt in Jerusalem in the second [quarter]: and they spoke to her accordingly.
是においてヒルキヤおよび王の人々シヤルムの妻なる女預言者ホルダの許に往りシヤルムはハルハスの子なるテクワの子にして衣裳を守る者なり時にホルダはヱルサレムの第二の邑に住をれり彼等すなはちホルダに斯と語りしかば
23 And she said to them, Thus has the Lord God of Israel said, Tell the man who sent you to me,
ホルダこれに答へけるはイスラエルの神ヱホバかく言たまふ汝らを我に遣はせる人に告よ
24 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I bring evil upon this place, [even] all the words that are written in the book that was read before the king of Juda:
ヱホバかく言たまふユダの王の前に讀し書に記されたる諸の呪詛に循ひて我この處と此に住む者に災害を降さん
25 because they have forsaken me, and burnt incense to strange gods, that they might provoke me by all the works of their hands; and my wrath is kindled against this place, and it shall not be quenched.
其は彼ら我を棄て他の神に香を焚きおのが手にて作れる諸の物をもて我怒を惹起さんとしたればなりこの故にわが震怒この處に斟ぎて滅ざるべし
26 And concerning the king of Juda, who sent you to seek the Lord, —thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, [As for] the words which thou has heard,
されど汝らを遣はしてヱホバに問しむるユダの王には汝ら斯いふべしイスラエルの神ヱホバかく言たまふ汝が聞る言につきては
27 forasmuch as thy heart was ashamed, and thou was humbled before me when thou heardest my words against this place, and against the inhabitants of it, and thou wast humbled before me, and didst rend thy garments, and didst weep before me; I also have heard, saith the Lord.
汝此處と此にすむ者を責る神の言を聞し時に心やさしくして神の前に於て身を卑くし我前に身を卑くし衣服を裂て我前に泣たれば我も汝に聽りとヱホバ宣まふ
28 Behold, I [will] gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, and thine eyes shall not look upon all the evils which I am bringing upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of it. And they brought back word to the king.
然ば我汝をして汝の先祖等に列ならしめん汝は安然に墓に歸する事を得べし汝は我が此處と此に住む者に降すところの諸の災害を目に見る事あらじと彼等即ち王に復命まうしぬ
29 And the king sent and gathered the elders of Juda and Jerusalem.
是において王人を遣はしてユダとヱルサレムの長老をことごとく集め
30 And the king went up to the house of the Lord, [he] and all Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that were found in the house of the Lord.
而して王ヱホバの室に上りゆけりユダの人々ヱルサレムの民祭司レビ人及び一切の民大より小にいたるまでことごとく之にともなふ王すなはちヱホバの室に見あたりし契約の書の言を盡く彼らの耳に讀聞せ
31 And the king stood at a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk before the Lord, to keep his commandments and testimonies, and his ordinances, with all [his] heart and with all [his] soul, so as to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.
而して王己の所に立ちてヱホバの前に契約を立てヱホバにしたがひて歩み心を盡し精神を盡してその誡命と證詞と法度を守り此書にしるされたる契約の言を行はんと言ひ
32 And he caused all that were found in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand; and the inhabitants of Jerusalem made a covenant in the house of the Lord God of their fathers.
ヱルサレムおよびベニヤミンの有ゆる人々をみな之に加はらしめたりヱルサレムの民すなはちその先祖の神にまします御神の契約にしたがひて行へり
33 And Josias removed all the abominations out of the whole land which belonged to the children of Israel, and caused all that were found in Jerusalem and in Israel, to serve the Lord their God all his days: he departed not from following the Lord God of his fathers.
かくてヨシア、イスラエルの子孫に屬する一切の地より憎むべき者を盡く取のぞきイスラエルの有ゆる人をしてその神ヱホバに事まつらしめたりヨシアの世にある日の間は彼らその先祖の神ヱホバに從ひて離れざりき
