2 Chronicles 31
1 And when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and broke the columns, and hewed down the Asherahs, and demolished the high places and the altars in all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. And all the children of Israel returned every man to his possession, into their cities.
この事すべて終りしかば其處に在しイスラエル人みなユダの邑々に出ゆき柱像を碎きアシラ像を斫たふしユダとベニヤミンの全地より崇邱と祭壇を崩し絶ちエフライム、マナセにも及ぼして遂にまつたく之を毀ち而してイスラエルの子孫おのおのその邑々に還りて己の產業にいたれり
2 And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests, and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, as well the priests as the Levites, for burnt-offerings and for peace-offerings, to serve and to give thanks and to praise in the gates of the courts of Jehovah.
ヒゼキヤ祭司およびレビ人の班列を定めその班列にしたがひて各々にその職を行はしむ即ち祭司とレビ人をして燔祭および酬恩祭を献げしめヱホバの營の門において奉事をなし感謝をなし讃美をなさしめ
3 And [he ordered] that the king's portion [should be taken] from his substance for the burnt-offerings: for the morning and evening burnt-offerings, for the burnt-offerings of the sabbaths, and of the new moons, and of the set feasts, as it is written in the law of Jehovah.
また己の財產の中より王の分を出して燔祭のためにす即ち朝夕の燔祭および安息日朔日節會などの燔祭のために之を出してヱホバの律法に記さるる如くす
4 And he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of Jehovah.
彼またヱルサレムに住む民に祭司とレビ人にその分を與へんことを命ず是かれらをしてヱホバの律法に身を委ねしめんとてなり
5 And as soon as the commandment was published, the children of Israel gave in abundance the firstfruits of corn, new wine and oil and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and they brought in abundantly the tithe of all [things].
其命令の傳はるや否やイスラエルの子孫穀物酒油蜜ならびに田野の諸の產物の初を多く献げまた一切の物の什一を夥多しく携へきたる
6 And the children of Israel and of Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated to Jehovah their God, and laid them by heaps.
ユダの邑々に住るイスラエルとユダの子孫もまた牛羊の什一ならびにその神ヱホバに納むべき聖物の什一を携へきたりてこれを積疊ぬ
7 In the third month they began to lay the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
三月に之を積疊ぬることを始め七月にいたりて之を終れり
8 And Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, and they blessed Jehovah, and his people Israel.
ヒゼキヤおよび牧伯等きたりて其積疊ねたる物を見ヱホバとその民イスラエルを祝せり
9 And Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
ヒゼキヤその積疊ねたる物の事を祭司とレビ人に問尋ねければ
10 And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok spoke to him and said, Since they began to bring the heave-offerings into the house of Jehovah, we have eaten and been satisfied and have left plenty; for Jehovah has blessed his people; and what is left is this great store.
ザドクの家より出し祭司の長アザリヤ彼に應へて言けるは民ヱホバの室に禮物を携ふることを始めしより以來我儕飽までに食ひしがその餘れる所はなはだ多しヱホバその民をめぐみたまひたればなりその餘れる所かくのごとく夥多しと
11 And Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of Jehovah; and they prepared [them],
ヒゼキヤ、ヱホバの家の内に室を設くることを命じければ則ちこれを設け
12 and brought in the heave-offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully; and over these Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was second.
忠實にその禮物什一および奉納物を携へいれりレビ人コナニヤこれを主どりその兄弟シメイこれに副ふ
13 And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Jismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the command of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.
ヱヒエル、アザジヤ、ナハテ、アサヘル、ヱレモテ、ヨザバデ、ヱリエル、イスマキヤ、マハテ、ベナヤ等ヒゼキヤ王および神の室の宰アザリヤの命に依りコナニヤ及びその兄弟シメイの手下につきてこれが監督者となる
14 And Kore the son of Jimnah the Levite, the doorkeeper toward the east, was over the voluntary-offerings of God, to distribute the heave-offerings of Jehovah, and the most holy things.
東の門を守る者レビ人ヱムナの子コレ神に献ぐる誠意よりの禮物を司どりてヱホバの献納物および至聖物を頒つ
15 And under him were Eden and Miniamin and Jeshua and Shemaiah, Amariah and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in [their] set trust, to make distributions to their brethren by [their] divisions, to the great as to the small,
その手につく者はエデン、ミニヤミン、ヱシユア、シマヤ、アマリヤおよびシカニヤみな祭司の邑々に居てその職を盡しその兄弟に班列に依て之を頒つ大小ともに均し
16 besides those from three years old and upward who as males were entered in the genealogical register, — all that came into the house of Jehovah, as the duty of every day required, for their service in their charges, according to their divisions,
此外にまた凡て名簿に載たる男子三歳以上にしてヱホバの室に入りその班列にしたがひて日々の職分を盡し擔任の勤務を爲すところの者に之を頒つ
17 — both to the priests enregistered according to their fathers' houses, and to the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges, by their divisions;
またその宗家にしたがひて名簿に載られその班列にしたがひて擔任の事を執行ふところの祭司および二十歳以上のレビ人
18 and to all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, the whole congregation of those entered in the register; for in their trust they hallowed themselves to be holy.
ならびに名簿に載たるその小き者その妻その男子その女子などに盡く之を頒つ會中すべて然り即ち彼等は潔白忠實にその職を盡せり
19 And for the sons of Aaron the priests who were in the country, in the suburbs of their cities, there were, in every several city, men expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all the Levites that were entered in the register.
また邑々の郊地に居るアロンの子孫たる祭司等のためには邑ごとに人を名指し選び祭司の中の一切の男およびレビ人の中の名簿に載せたる一切の者にその分を予へしむ
20 And thus did Hezekiah throughout Judah, and wrought what was good and right and true before Jehovah his God.
ヒゼキヤ、ユダ全國に斯のごとく爲し善事正き事忠實なる事をその神ヱホバの前に行へり
21 And in every work that he undertook in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart and prospered.
凡てその神の室の職務につき律法につき誡命につきて行ひ始めてその神を求めし工は悉く心をつくして行ひてこれを成就たり
