2 Chronicles 30
1 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, to hold the passover to Jehovah the 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 And the king took counsel, and his princes, and the whole congregation in Jerusalem, to hold 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 the priests had not hallowed themselves in sufficient number, neither had the people been gathered together 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 thing pleased the king and the whole congregation.
王も會衆もこの事を見て善となし
5 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to hold the passover to Jehovah the God of Israel, at Jerusalem; because they had not held it for a long time as it was written.
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 couriers went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, return to Jehovah the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you that are escaped out of the hand of the kings 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 like your fathers and like your brethren, who transgressed against Jehovah the God of their fathers, so that 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 Now, harden not your necks, as your fathers; yield yourselves to Jehovah, and come to his sanctuary, which he has sanctified for ever; and serve Jehovah your God, that the fierceness of his anger may turn away 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 if ye return to Jehovah, your brethren and your children shall find compassion with those that have carried them captive, so that they shall come again unto this land; for Jehovah your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye 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 And the couriers passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even to Zebulun; but they 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 Nevertheless certain of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.
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 The hand of God was also upon Judah to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of Jehovah.
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 there assembled at Jerusalem much people to hold 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 rose up and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem; and they took away all the incense-altars, and cast them into the torrent Kidron.
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 And they slaughtered the passover on the fourteenth of the second month; and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and hallowed themselves; and they brought the burnt-offerings into the house of Jehovah.
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 in their place after their custom, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood [receiving it] 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 there were many in the congregation that were not hallowed; therefore the Levites had the charge of the slaughtering of the passover-lambs for every one not clean, to hallow them unto Jehovah.
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 a multitude of the people, many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, and they ate the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them saying, Jehovah, who is good, forgive every one
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 that has directed his heart to seek God, Jehovah the God of his fathers, although not 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 Jehovah hearkened to Hezekiah, 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, that were present at Jerusalem, held the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness; and the Levites and the priests praised Jehovah day by day, with the instruments of praise to Jehovah.
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 Hezekiah spoke consolingly to all the Levites that had understanding in the good knowledge of Jehovah; and they ate the feast-offerings the seven days, sacrificing peace-offerings, and extolling Jehovah the 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 whole congregation took counsel to observe other seven days; and they observed the 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 Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the congregation as heave-offering: a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep; and a great number of priests hallowed themselves.
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 the whole congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.
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; for since the time of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, there had not been the like 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 And the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people; and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy habitation, to the heavens.
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
