2 Chronicles 23
1 And in the seventh year Joiada being encouraged, took the captains of hundreds, to wit, Azarias the son of Jeroham, and Ismahel the son of Johanan, and Azarias the son of Obed, and Maasias the son of Adaias, and Elisaphat the son of Zechri: and made a covenant with them.
第七年にいたりヱホヤダ力を強してヱロハムの子アザリヤ、ヨハナンの子イシマエル、オベデの子アザリア、アダヤの子マアセヤ、ジクリの子エシヤパテなどいふ百人の長等を招きて己と契約を結ばしむ
2 And they went about Juda, and gathered together the Levites out of all the cities of Juda, and the chiefs of the families of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
是において彼らユダを行めぐりてユダの一切の邑よりレビ人を集めまたイスラエルの族長を集めてヱルサレムに歸り
3 And all the multitude made a covenant with the king in the house of God: and Joiada said to them: Behold the king’s son shall reign, as the Lord hath said of the sons of David.
而してその會衆みな神の家において王と契約を結べり時にヱホヤダかれらに言けるけるはダビデの子孫の事につきてヱホバの宣まひしごとく王の子位に即べきなり
4 And this is the thing that you shall do:
然ば汝ら斯なすべし汝ら祭司およびレビ人の安息日に入きたる者は三分の一は門を守り
5 A third part of you that come to the sabbath, of the priests, and of the Levites, and of the porters, shall be at the gates: and a third part at the king’s house: and a third at the gate that is called the Foundation: but let all the rest of the people be in the courts of the house of the Lord.
三分の一は王の家に居り三分の一は基礎の門に居り民はみなヱホバの室の庭に居べし
6 And let no one come into the house of the Lord, but the priests, and they that minister of the Levites: let them only come in, because they are sanctified: and let all the rest of the people keep the watches of the Lord.
祭司と奉事をするレビ人の外は何人もヱホバの家に入べからず彼らは聖者なれば入ことを得るなり民はみなヱホバの殿を守るべし
7 And let the Levites be round about the king, every man with his arms; (and if any other come into the temple, let him be slain; ) and let them be with the king, both coming in, and going out.
レビ人はおのおの手に武器を執て王を繞りて立べし家に入る者をば凡て殺すべし汝らは王の出る時にも入る時にも王とともに居れと
8 So the Levites, and all Juda did according to all that Joiada the high priest bad commanded: and they took every one his men that were under him, and that came in by the course of the sabbath, with those who had fulfilled the sabbath, and were to go out. For Joiada the high priest permitted not the companies to depart, which were accustomed to succeed one another every week.
是においてレビ人およびユダの人衆は祭司ヱホヤダが凡て命じたる如くに行ひ各々その手の人の安息日に入來べき者と安息日に出ゆくべき者とを率ゐ居れり祭司ヱホヤダ班列の者を去せざればなり
9 And Joiada the priest gave to the captains the spears, and the shields, and targets of king David, which he had dedicated in the house of the Lord.
祭司ヱホヤダすなはち神の家にあるダビデ王の鎗および大楯小楯を百人の長等に交し
10 And he set all the people with swords in their hands from the right side of the temple, to the left side of the temple, before the altar, and the temple, round about the king.
一切の民をして各々武器を手に執て王の四周に立ち殿の右の端より殿の左の端におよびて壇と殿にそふて居しむ
11 And they brought out the king’s son, and put the crown upon him, and the testimony, and gave him the law to hold in his hand, and they made him king: and Joiada the high priest and his sons anointed him: and they prayed for him, and said: God save the king.
斯て人衆王の子を携へ出し之に冠冕を戴かせ證詞をわたして王となし祭司ヱホヤダおよびその子等これに膏をそそげり而して皆王長壽かれと言ふ
12 Now when Athalia heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came in to the people, into the temple of the Lord.
茲にアタリヤ民と近衛兵と王を讃る者との聲を聞きヱホバの室に入て民の所に至り
13 And when she saw the king standing upon the step in the entrance, and the princes, and the companies about him, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and sounding with trumpets, and playing on instruments of divers kinds, and the voice of those that praised, she rent her garments, and said: Treason, treason.
視に王は入口にてその柱の傍に立ち王の側に軍長と喇叭手立をり亦國の民みな喜びて喇叭を吹き謳歌者樂を奏し先だちて讃美を歌ひをりしかばアタリヤその衣を裂き叛逆なり叛逆なりと言り
14 And Joiada the high priest going out to the captains, and the chiefs of the army, said to them: Take her forth without the precinct of the temple, and when she is without let her be killed with the sword. For the priest commanded that she should not be killed in the house of the Lord.
時に祭司ヱホヤダ軍兵を統る百人の長等を呼出してこれに言ふ彼をして列の間を通りて出しめよ凡て彼に從がふ者をば劍をもて殺すべしと祭司は彼をヱホバの室に殺すべからずとて斯いへるなり
15 And they laid hold on her by the neck: and when she was come within the horse gate of the palace, they killed her there.
是をもて之がために路をひらき王の家の馬の門の入口まで往しめて其處にて之を殺せり
16 And Joiada made a covenant between himself and all the people, and the king, that they should be the people of the Lord.
斯てヱホヤダ己と一切の民と王との間にわれらは皆ヱホバの民とならんことの契約を結べり
17 And all the people went into the house of Baal, and destroyed it: and they broke down his altars and his idols: and they slew Mathan the priest of Baal before the altars.
是において民みなバアルの室にゆきて之を毀ちその壇とその像を打碎きバアルの祭司マツタンを壇の前に殺せり
18 And Joiada appointed overseers in the house of the Lord, under the hands of the priests, and the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the Lord: to offer holocausts to the Lord, as it is written in the law of Moses, with joy and singing, according to the disposition of David.
ヱホヤダまたヱホバの室の職事を祭司レビ人の手に委ぬ昔ダビデ、レビ人を班列にわかちてヱホバの室におきモーセの律法に記されたる所にしたがひて歓喜と謳歌とをもてヱホバの燔祭を献げしめたりき今このダビデの例に傚ふ
19 He appointed also porters in the gates of the house of the Lord, that none who was unclean in any thing should enter in.
彼またヱホバの室の門々に看守者を立せ置き身の汚れたる者には何によりて汚れたるにもあれ凡て入ことを得ざらしむ
20 And he took the captains of hundreds, and the most valiant men, and the chiefs of the people, and all the people of the land, and they brought down the king from the house of the Lord, and brought him through the upper gate into the king’s house, and set him on the royal throne.
斯てヱホヤダ百人の長等と貴族と民の牧伯等および國の一切の民を率ゐてヱホバの家より王を導きくだり上の門よりして王の家にいり王を國の位に坐せしめたり
21 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet: but Athalia was slain with the sword.
斯りしかば國の民みな喜こびて邑は平穩なりきアタリヤは劍にて殺さる
