2 Chronicles 35
1 And Josiah held a passover to Jehovah in Jerusalem; and they slaughtered the passover on the fourteenth of the first month.
茲にヨシア、ヱルサレムにおいてヱホバに逾越節を行はんとし正月の十四日に逾越の物を宰らしめ
2 And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of Jehovah.
祭司をしてその職を執行はせ之を勵してヱホバの室の務をなさしめ
3 And he said to the Levites, that taught all Israel, [and] who were holy to Jehovah, Put the holy ark in the house that Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, built; ye have not to carry it upon your shoulders. Serve now Jehovah your God, and his people Israel;
またヱホバの聖者となりてイスラエルの人衆を誨ふるレビ人に言ふ汝らイスラエルの王ダビデの子ソロモンが建たる家に聖契約の匱を放け再び肩に擔ふこと有ざるべし然ば今汝らの神ヱホバおよびその民イスラエルに事ふべし
4 and prepare yourselves by your fathers' houses, in your divisions, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son;
汝らまたイスラエルの王ダビデの書およびその子ソロモンの書に本づきて父祖の家に循がひその班列に依て自ら準備をなし
5 and stand in the sanctuary for the classes of the fathers' houses, for your brethren, the children of the people, and [according] to the divisions of the fathers' houses of the Levites;
汝らの兄弟なる民の人々の宗家の區分に循ひて聖所に立ち之にレビ人の宗族の分缺ること無らしむべし
6 and slaughter the passover, and hallow yourselves, and prepare it for your brethren, that they may do according to the word of Jehovah through Moses.
汝ら逾越の物を宰り身を潔め汝らの兄弟のために準備をなしモーセが傳へしヱホバの言のごとく行ふべしと
7 And Josiah gave for the children of the people a heave-offering of the flocks, lambs and goats, all for the passover-offerings, for all that were present — to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of the king's substance.
ヨシアすなはち羔羊および羔山羊を民の人々に餽る其數三萬また牡牛三千を餽る是みな王の所有の中より出して其處に居る一切の人のために逾越の祭物となせるなり
8 And his princes gave a voluntary heave-offering for the people, for the priests, and for the Levites: Hilkijah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the passover-offerings two thousand six hundred [small cattle] and three hundred oxen;
その牧伯等も民と祭司とレビ人に誠意より與ふる所ありまた神の室の長等ヒルキヤ、ゼカリヤ、ヱヒエルも綿羊二千六百牛三百を祭司に與へて逾越の祭物と爲す
9 and Conaniah, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave as heave-offering to the Levites for the passover-offerings five thousand [small cattle] and five hundred oxen.
またレビ人の長たる人々すなはちコナニヤおよびその兄弟シマヤ、ネタンエル並にハシヤビヤ、ヱイエル、ヨザバデなども綿羊五千牛五百をレビ人に餽りて逾越の祭物となす
10 And the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their divisions, according to the king's commandment.
是のごとく献祭の事備はりぬれば王の命にしたがひて祭司等はその擔任場に立ちレビ人はその班列に循がひ居り
11 And they slaughtered the passover, and the priests sprinkled [the blood] from their hand, and the Levites flayed them.
やがて逾越の物を宰りければ祭司その血をこれが手より受て洒げりレビ人その皮を剥り
12 And they set apart the burnt-offerings to give them to the classes of the fathers' houses of the children of the people, to present them to Jehovah, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so [did they] with the oxen.
かくて燔祭の物を移して民の人々の父祖の家の區分に付してヱホバに献げしむモーセの書に記されたるが如し其牛に行ふところも亦是のごとし
13 And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance; and the consecrated things they boiled in pots and in cauldrons and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the children of the people.
而して例規のごとくに逾越の物を火にて炙りその他の聖物を鍋釜鼎などに烹て一切の民の人々に奔配れり
14 And afterwards they made ready for themselves and for the priests; because the priests, the sons of Aaron, [were engaged] in offering up the burnt-offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests, the sons of Aaron.
かくて後かれら自身のためと祭司等のために備ふ其はアロンの子孫たる祭司等は燔祭と脂を献げて夜に入たればなり是に因て斯レビ人自分のためとアロンの子孫たる祭司等のために備ふるなり
15 And the singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; and the doorkeepers were at every gate; they had not to depart from their service, for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.
アサフの子孫たる謳歌者等はダビデ、アサフ、ヘマンおよび王の先見者ヱドトンの命にしたがひてその擔任場に居り門を守る者等は門々に居てその職務を離るるに及ばざりき其はその兄弟たるレビ人これがために備へたればなり
16 And all the service of Jehovah was prepared the same day, to hold the passover, and to offer burnt-offerings on the altar of Jehovah according to the commandment of king Josiah.
斯のごとく其日ヱホバの献祭の事ことごとく備はりければヨシア王の命にしたがひて逾越節を行ひヱホバの壇に燔祭を献げたり
17 And the children of Israel that were present held the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
即ち其處に來れるイスラエルの子孫その時逾越節を行ひ七日の間酵いれぬパンの節を行へり
18 And there was no passover like to that holden in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel hold such a passover as Josiah held, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
預言者サムエルの日より以來イスラエルにて是のごとくに逾越節を行ひし事なし又イスラエルの諸王の中にはヨシアが祭司レビ人ならびに來りあつまれるユダとイスラエルの諸人およびヱルサレムの民とともに行ひし如き逾越節を行ひし者一人もあらず
19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover holden.
この逾越節はヨシアの治世の十八年に行ひしなり
20 After all this, when Josiah had arranged the house, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Karkemish at the Euphrates; and Josiah went out against him.
是のごとくヨシア殿をととのへし後エジプトの王ネコ、ユフラテの邊なるカルケミシを攻撃んとて上り來りけるにヨシアこれを禦がんとて出往り
21 And he sent messengers to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house with which I have war; and God has told me to make haste: keep aloof from God who is with me, that he destroy thee not.
是においてネコ使者をかれに遣はして言ふユダの王よ是あに汝の與る所ならんや今日は汝を攻んとには非ず我敵の家を攻んとするなり神われに命じて急がしむ神われとともにあり汝神に逆ふことを罷よ恐らくは彼なんぢを滅ぼしたまはんと
22 But Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight against him; and he hearkened not to the words of Necho from the mouth of God; and he came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.
然るにヨシア面を轉して去ことを肯はず却てこれと戰はんとて服装を變へ神の口より出しネコの言を聽いれずしてメギドンの谷に到りて戰ひけるが
23 And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away, for I am sore wounded.
射手の者等ヨシア王に射中たれば王その臣僕にむかひて我を扶け出せ我太痍を負ふと言り
24 And his servants took him out from the chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had, and brought him to Jerusalem. And he died, and was buried in the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
是においてその臣僕等かれをその車より扶けおろし其引せたる次の車に乗てヱルサレムにつれゆきけるが遂に死たればその先祖の墓にこれを葬りぬユダとヱルサレムみなヨシアのために哀しめり
25 And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah; and all the singing men and singing women spoke of Josiah in their lamentations to this day; and they made them an ordinance for Israel. And behold, they are written in the lamentations.
時にヱレミヤ、ヨシアのために哀歌を作れり謳歌男謳歌女今日にいたるまでその哀歌の中にヨシアの事を述べイスラエルの中に之を例となせりその詞は哀歌の中に書さる
26 And the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his good deeds, according to that which is written in the law of Jehovah,
ヨシアのその餘の行爲そのヱホバの律法に録されたる所にしたがひて爲し徳行
27 and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
およびその始終の行爲などはイスラエルとユダの列王の書に記さる
