Ezra 8
1 And so these are the leaders of the families, with their genealogy, of those who ascended with me from Babylon, during the reign of king Artaxerxes.
アルタシヤスタ王の治世に我とともにバビロンより上り來りし者等の宗家の長およびその系譜は左のごとし
2 From the sons of Phinehas, Gershom. From the sons of Ithamar, Daniel. From the sons of David, Hattush.
ピネハスの子孫の中にてはゲルシヨム、イタマルの子孫の中にてはダニエル、ダビデの子孫の中にてはハットシ
3 From the sons of Shecaniah, the son of Parosh, Zechariah, and one hundred fifty men were numbered with him.
シカニヤの子孫の中パロシの子孫の中にてはゼカリヤ彼と偕にありて名簿に載られたる男子百五十人
4 From the sons of Pahath-moab, Eliehoenai, the son of Zerahiah, and two hundred men were with him.
パハテモアブの子孫の中にてはゼラヒヤの子エリヨエナイ彼と偕なる男二百人
5 From the sons of Shecaniah, the son of Jahaziel, and three hundred men were with him.
シカニヤの子孫の中にてはヤハジエルの子 彼と偕なる男三百人
6 From the sons of Adin, Ebed, the son of Jonathan, and fifty men were with him.
アデンの子孫の中にてはヨナタンの子エベデ彼とともなる男五十人
7 From the sons of Elam, Jeshaiah, the son of Athaliah, and seventy men were with him.
エラムの子孫の中にてはアタリヤの子ヱサヤ彼と偕なる男七十人
8 From the sons of Shephatiah, Zebadiah, the son of Michael, and eighty men were with him.
シパテヤの子孫の中にてはミカエルの子ゼバデヤ彼とともなる男八十人
9 From the sons of Joab, Obadiah, the son of Jehiel, and two hundred eighteen men were with him.
ヨハブの子孫の中にてはヱヒエルの子オバデヤ彼とともなる男二百十八人
10 From the sons of Shelomith, the son of Josiphiah, and one hundred sixty men were with him.
シロミテの子孫の中にてはヨシピアの子 彼とともなる男百六十人
11 From the sons of Bebai, Zechariah, the son of Bebai, and twenty-eight men were with him.
ベバイの子孫の中にてはベバイの子ゼカリヤ彼と偕なる男二十八人
12 From the sons of Azgad, Johanan, the son of Hakkatan, and one hundred and ten men were with him.
アズガデの子孫の中にてはハッカタンの子ヨハナン彼とともなる男百十人
13 From the sons of Adonikam, who were the last, and these were their names: Eliphelet, and Jeuel, and Shemaiah, and sixty men were with them.
アドニカムの子孫の中の後なる者等あり 其名をエリペレテ、ユエル、シマヤといふ彼らと偕なる男六十人
14 From the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zaccur, and seventy men were with them.
ビグワイの子孫の中にてはウタイおよびザブデ彼等とともなる男七十人
15 Now I gathered them together at the river that runs down to Ahava, and we stayed there for three days. And I sought among the people and among the priests for the sons of Levi, and I found none there.
我かれらをアハワに流るる所の河の邊に集めて三日が間かしこに天幕を張居たりしが我民と祭司とを閲せしにレビの子孫一人も其處に居ざりければ
16 And so I sent Eliezer, and Ariel, and Shemaiah, and Elnathan, and Jarib, and another Elnathan, and Nathan, and Zechariah, and Meshullam, who were leaders, and Joiarib and Elnathan, who were wise.
すなはち人を遣てエリエゼル、アリエル、シマヤ、エルナタン、ヤリブ、エルナタン、ナタン、ゼカリヤ、メシユラムなどいふ長たる人々を招きまた教晦を施こす所のヨヤリブおよびエルナタンを招けり
17 And I sent them to Iddo, who is first within the place of Casiphia. And I placed in their mouth the words that they should speak to Iddo and his brothers, the temple servants, in the place of Casiphia, so that they would lead to us ministers for the house of our God.
而して我カシピアといふ處の長イドの許に彼らを出し遣せり 即ち我カシピアといふ處にをるイドとその兄弟なるネテニ人に告ぐべき詞を之が口に授け我等の神の室のために役者を我儕に携へ來れと言けるが
18 And because the good hand of our God was over us, they led to us a very learned man from the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, with Sherebiah, and his sons, and his eighteen brothers,
我らの神よく我儕を助けたまひて彼等つひにイスラエルの子レビの子マヘリの子孫イシケセルを我らに携さへ來り又セレビヤといふ者およびその子等と兄弟十八人
19 and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah, of the sons of Merari, and his brothers, and his sons, numbering twenty.
ハシヤビヤならびにメラリの子孫のヱサヤおよびその兄弟とその子等二十人を携へ
20 And from the temple servants, whom David, and the leaders had provided for the ministry of the Levites, there were two hundred twenty temple servants. All these were called by their names.
またネテニ人すなはちダビデとその牧伯等がレビ人に事へしむるために設けたりしネテニ人二百二十人を携へ來れり 此等の者は皆その名を掲げられたり
21 And I proclaimed a fast in that place, beside the river Ahava, so that we might afflict ourselves in the sight of the Lord our God, and so that we might request of him the right way for us, and for our sons, and for all our substance.
斯て我かしこなるアハワの河の邊にて斷食を宣傳へ我儕の神の前にて我儕身を卑し我らと我らの小き者と我らの諸の所有のために正しき途を示されんことを之に求む
22 For I was ashamed to petition the king for assistance and for horsemen, who would defend us from the enemy along the way. For we had said to the king: “The hand of our God is over all those who seek him in goodness. And his authority, and his strength and fury, is over all those who forsake him.”
其は我儕さきに王に告て我らの神は己を求むる者を凡て善く助けまた己を棄る者にはその權能と震怒とをあらはしたまふと言しに因て我道路の敵を防ぎて我儕を護るべき歩兵と騎兵とを王に請ふを羞ぢたればなり
23 And so we fasted and begged our God for this; and as a result, we prospered.
かくてこのことを我ら斷食して我儕の神に求めけるに其祈禱を容れたまへり
24 And I separated twelve from among the leaders of the priests: Sherebiah, and Hashabiah, and with them ten of their brothers.
時に我祭司の長十二人即ちセレビヤ、ハシヤビヤおよびその兄弟十人を之とともに擇び
25 And I weighed out to them the silver and the gold, and the vessels consecrated to the house of our God, which had been offered by the king, and by his counselors and his leaders, and by all those of Israel who had been found.
金銀および器皿すなはち王とその議官とその牧伯と彼處の一切のイスラエル人とが我らの神の室のために獻げたる奉納物を量りて彼らに付せり
26 And I weighed out to their hands six hundred fifty talents of silver, and one hundred vessels of silver, and one hundred talents of gold,
その量りて彼らの手に付せし者は銀六百五十タラント銀の器百タラント金百タラントなりき
27 and twenty gold bowls which had the weight of one thousand coins, and two vessels of the finest shining brass, as beautiful as gold.
また金の大斝二十あり一千ダリクに當るまた光り輝く精銅の器二箇あり その貴きこと金のごとし
28 And I said to them: “You are the holy ones of the Lord, and the vessels are holy, with the silver and the gold, which has been offered freely to the Lord, the God of our fathers.
而して我かれらに言り汝等はヱホバの聖者なり 此器皿もまた聖し又この金銀は汝らの先祖の神ヱホバに奉まつりし誠意よりの禮物なり
29 Watch and guard them, until you weigh them out before the leaders of the priests and the Levites, and the rulers of the families of Israel in Jerusalem, into the treasury of the house of the Lord.”
汝等ヱルサレムに至りてヱホバの家の室に於て祭司レビ人の長等およびイスラエルの宗家の首等の前に量るまで之を伺ひ守るべしと
30 Then the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, so that they might carry these to Jerusalem, into the house of our God.
是に於て祭司およびレビ人その金銀および器皿をヱルサレムなる我らの神の室に携へゆかんとて其重にしたがひて之を受取れり
31 Therefore, we set out from the river Ahava, on the twelfth day of the first month, so that we might travel to Jerusalem. And the hand of our God was over us, and he freed us from the hand of the enemy and of those who lay in ambush along the way.
我ら正月の十二日にアハワの河邊を出たちてヱルサレム赴きけるが我らの神その手を我らの上におき我らを救ひて敵の手また路に伏て窺ふ者の手に陷らしめたまはざりき
32 And we arrived at Jerusalem, and we stayed there for three days.
我儕すなはちヱルサレムに至りて三日かしこに居しが
33 Then, on the fourth day, the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed out in the house of our God, by the hand of Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the priest; and with him was Eleazar, the son of Phinehas, and with them were the Levites, Jozabad, the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah, the son of Binnui.
四日にいたりて我らの神の室においてその金銀および器皿をウリヤの子祭司メレモテの手に量り付せり ピネハスの子エレアザル彼に副ふ又ヱシュアの子ヨザバデおよびビンヌイの子ノアデヤの二人のレビ人かれらに副ふ
34 This was done according to the number and weight of everything; and every weight was written down at that time.
即ちその一々の重と數を査べ其重をことごとく其時かきとめたり
35 Moreover, those who came from the captivity, the sons of the transmigration, offered holocausts to the God of Israel: twelve calves on behalf of all the people of Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve he-goats for sin. All these were a holocaust to the Lord.
俘囚の人々のその俘囚をゆるされて歸り來し者イスラエルの神に燔祭を獻げたり 即ちイスラエル全體にあたる牡牛十二を獻げまた牡羊九十六羔羊七十七罪祭の牡山羊十二を獻げたり 是みなヱホバにたてまつりし燔祭なり
36 Then they gave the edicts of the king to the rulers who served in the sight of the king, and to the governors beyond the river, and they exalted the people and the house of God.
彼等王の勅諭を王の代官と河外ふの總督等に示しければその人々民を助けて神の室を建しむ
