Ezra 6
1 Then king Darius gave orders, and they searched in the library of the books that were laid up in Babylon,
是に於てダリヨス王詔言を出しバビロンにて寳物を蔵むる所の文庫に就て査べ稽しめしに
2 And there was found in Ecbatana, which is a castle in the province of Media, a book in which this record was written.
メデア州の都城アクメタにて一の卷物を得たり その内に書しるせる記録は是のごとし
3 In the first year of Cyrus the king: Cyrus the king decreed, that the house of God should be built, which is in Jerusalem, in the place where they may offer sacrifices, and that they lay the foundations that may support the height of threescore cubits, and the breadth of threescore cubits,
クロス王の元年にクロス王詔言を出せり云くヱルサレムなる神の室の事につきて諭す その犠牲を獻ぐる所なる殿を建てその石礎を堅く置ゑ其室の高を六十キユビトにし其濶を六十キユビトにし
4 Three rows of unpolished stones, and so rows of new timber: and the charges shall be given out of the king’s house.
巨石三行新木一行を以せよ 其費用は王の家より授くべし
5 And also let the golden and silver vessels of the temple of God, which Nabuchodonosor took out of the temple of Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, be restored, and carried back to the temple of Jerusalem to their place, which also were placed in the temple of God.
またネブカデネザルがヱルサレムの殿より取いだしてバビロンに携へきたりし神の室の金銀の器皿は之を還してヱルサレムの殿に持ゆかしめ神の室に置てその故の所にあらしむべしと
6 Now therefore Thathanai, governor of the country beyond the river, Stharbuzanai, and your counsellors the Apharsachites, who are beyond the river, depart far from them,
然ば河外ふの總督タテナイおよびセタルボズナイとその同僚なる河外ふのアパルサカイ人汝等これに遠ざかるべし
7 And let that temple of God be built by the governor of the Jews, and by their ancients, that they may build that house of God in its place.
神のその室の工事を妨ぐる勿れ ユダヤ人の牧伯とユダヤ人の長老等に神のその家を故の處に建しめよ
8 I also have commanded what must be done by those ancients of the Jews, that the house of God may be built, to wit, that of the king’s chest, that is, of the tribute that is paid out of the country beyond the river, the charges be diligently given to those men, lest the work be hindered.
我また詔言を出し其神の家を建ることにつきて汝らが此ユダヤ人の長老等に爲べきことを示す 王の財寳の中すなはち河外ふの租税の中より迅速に費用をその人々に與へよその工事を滯ほらしむる勿れ
9 And if it shall be necessary, let calves also, and lambs, and kids, for holocausts to the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the custom of the priests that are in Jerusalem, be given them day by day, that there be no complaint in any thing.
又その需むる物即ち天の神にたてまつる燔祭の小牛牡羊および羔羊ならびに麥鹽酒油など凡てヱルサレムにをる祭司の定むる所に循ひて日々に怠慢なく彼等に與へ
10 And let them offer oblations to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his children.
彼らをして馨しき香の犠牲を天の神に獻ぐることを得せしめ王とその子女の生命のために祈ることを得せしめよ
11 And I have made a decree: That if any whosoever, shall alter this commandment, a beam be taken from his house. and set up, and he be nailed upon it, and his house be confiscated.
かつ我詔言を出す誰にもせよ此言を易る者あらば其家の梁を抜きとり彼を擧て之に釘ん その家はまた之がために厠にせらるべし
12 And may the God, that hath caused his name to dwell there, destroy all kingdoms, and the people that shall put out their hand to resist, and to destroy the house of God, that is in Jerusalem. I Darius have made the decree, which I will have diligently complied with.
凡そ之を易へまたヱルサレムなるその神の室を毀たんとて手を出す王あるひは民は彼處にその名を留め給ふ神ねがはくはこれを倒したまへ 我ダリヨス詔言を出せり 迅速に之を行なへ
13 So then Thathanai, governor of the country beyond the river, and Stharbuzanai, and his counsellors diligently executed what Darius the king had commanded.
ダリヨス王かく諭しければ河外ふの總督タテナイおよびセタルボズナイとその同僚迅速に之を行なへり
14 And the ancients of the Jews built and prospered according to the prophecy of Aggeus the prophet, and of Zacharias the son of Addo: and they built and finished, by the commandment of the God of Israel, and by the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes kings of the Persians.
ユダヤ人の長老等すなはち之を建て預言者ハガイおよびイドの子ゼカリヤの預言に由て之を成就たり 彼等イスラエルの神の命に循ひクロス、ダリヨスおよびペルシヤ王アルタシヤスタの詔言に依て之を建竣ぬ
15 And they were finishing this house of God, until the third day of the month of Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of king Darius.
ダリヨス王の治世の六年アダルの月の三日にこの室成り
16 And the children of Israel, the priests and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity kept the dedication of the house of God with joy.
是に於てイスラエルの子孫祭司レビ人およびその餘の俘擄人よろこびて神のこの室の落成禮を行なへり
17 And they offered at the dedication of the house of God, a, hundred calves, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs, and for a sin offering for all Israel twelve he goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
即ち神のこの室の落成禮において牡牛一百牡羊二百 羔羊四百を獻げまたイスラエルの支派の數にしたがひて牡山羊十二を獻げてイスラエル全體のために罪祭となし
18 And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses over the works of God in Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses.
祭司をその分別にしたがひて立て レビ人をその班列にしたがひて立て ヱルサレムに於て神に事へしむ 凡てモーセの書に書しるしたるが如し
19 And the children of Israel of the captivity kept the phase, on the fourteenth day of the first month.
斯て俘囚より歸り來りし人々正月の十四日に逾越節を行へり
20 For all the priests and the Levites were purified as one man: all were clear to kill the phase for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and themselves.
即ち祭司レビ人共に身を潔めて皆潔くなり一切俘囚より歸り來りし人々のため其兄弟たる祭司等のため又自己のために逾越の物を宰れり
21 And the children of Israel that were returned from captivity, and all that had separated themselves from the filthiness of the nations of the earth to them, to seek the Lord the God of Israel, did eat.
擄はれゆきて歸り來しイスラエルの子孫および其國の異邦人の汚穢を棄て是等に附てイスラエルの神ヱホバを求むる者等すべて之を食ひ
22 And they kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy, for the Lord had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, that he should help their hands in the work of the house of the Lord the God of Israel.
喜びて七日の間酵いれぬパンの節を行へり 是はヱホバかれらを喜ばせアッスリヤの王の心を彼らに向はせ彼をしてイスラエルの神にまします神の家の工事を助けさせたまひしが故なり
