1 Chronicles 15
1 Once David had finished building houses for himself in the City of David, he made a place for the Ark of God and set up a tent there.
ダビデはダビデの邑の中に自己のために家を建て又神の契約の櫃のために處を備へてこれがために幕屋を張り
2 Then he gave orders: “Nobody is to carry the Ark of God except the Levites, for the Lord himself chose them to carry the Ark of the Lord and to serve him forever.”
而してダビデ言けるは神の契約の櫃を舁べき者は只レビ人のみ其はヱホバ神の契約の櫃を舁しめまた己に永く事しめんとてレビ人を擇びたまひたればなりと
3 David summoned all of Israel to Jerusalem to bring the Ark of the Lord to the place he'd prepared for it.
ダビデすなはちヱホバの契約の櫃をその之がために備へたる處に舁のぼらんとてイスラエルをことごとくエルサレムに召集めたり
4 This is the list of the Levites, the sons of Aaron, that David called to attend:
ダビデまたアロンの子孫とレビ人を集めたり
5 From the sons of Kohath, Uriel (chief), and 120 of his relatives;
即ちコハテの子孫の中よりはウリエルを長としてその兄弟百二十人
6 from the sons of Merari, Asaiah (chief), with 220 of his relatives;
メラリの子孫の中よりはアサヤを長としてその兄弟二百二十人
7 from the sons of Gershom, Joel (chief), with 130 of his relatives;
ゲルシヨンの子孫の中よりはヨエルを長としてその兄弟百三十人
8 from the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah (chief), with 200 of his relatives;
エリザバンの子孫の中よりはシマヤを長としてその兄弟二百人
9 from the sons of Hebron, Eliel (chief), with 80 of his relatives;
ヘブロンの子孫の中よりはエリエルを長としてその兄弟八十人
10 from the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab (chief), with 112 of his relatives.
ウジエルの子孫の中よりはアミナダブを長としてその兄弟百十二人
11 Then David summoned the priests Zadok and Abiathar, and the Levites Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.
ダビデ祭司ザドクとアビヤタルおよびレビ人ウリエル、アサヤ、ヨエル、シマヤ、エリエル、アミナダブを召し
12 He told them, “You are the heads of the Levite families. You must make yourselves and your relatives ceremonially clean and pure before you bring back the Ark of God, the Lord of Israel to the place I have made for it.
これに言けるは汝らはレビ人の宗家の長たり汝らと汝らの兄弟共に身を潔めイスラエルの神ヱホバの契約の櫃を我が其の爲に備へたる處に舁のぼれよ
13 Because you weren't there the first time to carry the Ark the Lord our God burst out in violence against us. We didn't treat it in accordance with his instructions.”
前には之をかきしもの汝らにあらざりしに縁て我らの神ヱホバわれらを撃たまへり是は我らそのさだめにしたがひて之に求めざりしが故なりと
14 So the priests and the Levites purified themselves so that they could bring back the Ark of the Lord, the God of Israel.
是において祭司等とレビ人等イスラエルの神ヱホバの契約の櫃を舁のぼらんと身を潔め
15 Then the Levites carried the Ark of God in the way that Moses had ordered, according to what God had said—on their shoulders using the special carrying poles.
レビの子孫たる人々すなはちモーセがヱホバの言にしたがひて命じたるごとく神の契約の櫃をその貫ける枉によりて肩に負り
16 David also instructed the leaders of the Levites to assign from their relatives singers who would sing loudly for joy, accompanied by musicians playing lyres, and harps, and cymbals.
ダビデまたレビ人の長等に告げその兄弟等を選びて謳歌者となし瑟と琴と鐃鈸などの樂器をもちて打はやして歓喜の聲を擧しめよと言たれば
17 So the Levites assigned Heman the son of Joel; and from his relatives Asaph the son of Berechiah; and from the sons of Merari, their relatives, Ethan the son of Kushaiah.
レビ人すなはちヨエルの子ヘマンとその兄弟ベレキヤの子アサフおよびメラリの子孫たる彼らの兄弟クシャヤの子エタンを選べり
18 The second group of Levites consisted of Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah; and the gatekeepers Obed-edom and Jeiel.
また之に次るその兄弟等これと偕にあり即ちゼカリヤ、ベン、ヤジエル、セミラモテ、ヱイエル、ウンニ、エリアブ、ベナヤ、マアセヤ、マツタテヤ、エリペレホ、ミクネヤおよび門を守る者なるオベデエドムとヱイエル
19 The musicians Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were to strike the bronze cymbals;
謳歌者ヘマン、アサフおよびエタンは銅の鐃鈸をもて打はやす者となり
20 Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah were to play harps “according to alamoth,”
ゼカリヤ、アジエル、セミラモテ、ヱイエル、ウンニ、エリアブ、マアセヤ、ベナヤは瑟をもて細き音を出し
21 while Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah were to lead the music with lyres “according to sheminith.”
マツタテヤ、エリペレテ、ミクネヤ、オベデエドム、ヱイエル、アザジヤは琴をもて太き音を出して拍子をとれり
22 Kenaniah, the leader of the Levites in singing, was chosen to lead the music because of his ability.
ケナニヤはレビ人の長にして負舁事に通じをるによりて負舁事を指揮せり
23 Berechiah and Elkanah were appointed to guard the Ark.
またベレキヤとエルカナは契約の櫃の門を守り
24 Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer the priests were to blow the trumpets in front of the Ark of God. Obed-edom and Jehiah were also appointed to guard the Ark.
祭司シバニヤ、ヨシヤパテ、ネタネル、アマサイ、ゼカリヤ、ベナヤ、ヱリエゼル等は神の契約の櫃の前に進みて喇叭を吹きオベデエドムとヱヒアは契約の櫃の門を守れり
25 Then David, the elders of Israel, and the senior army commanders, went with great celebration to bring back the Ark of the Lord's Agreement from the home of Obed-Edom.
斯ダビデとイスラエルの長老および千人の長等は往てオベデエドムの家よりヱホバの契約の櫃を歓び勇みて舁のぼれり
26 Because God helped the Levites who carried the Ark of the Lord's Agreement, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.
神ヱホバの契約の櫃を舁ところのレビ人を助けたまひければ牡牛七匹牡羊七匹を献げたり
27 David wore a robe of fine linen like all the Levites who were carrying the Ark, and the singers and Kenaniah the leader of the music and singers. David also wore a linen ephod.
ダビデは細布の衣をまとへり又契約の櫃を舁ところの一切のレビ人と謳歌者および負舁事を主どれるケナニヤも然りダビデはまた白布のエポデを着居たり
28 So all of Israel brought back the Ark of the Lord's Agreement with a lot of shouting, accompanied by horns, trumpets, and cymbals, and music played on harps and lyres.
斯てイスラエルみな聲を擧げ角を吹ならし喇叭と鐃鈸と瑟と琴とをもて打はやしてヱホバの契約の櫃を舁のぼれり
29 But as Ark of the Lord's Agreement entered the City of David, Saul's daughter Michal looked down from a window. Seeing David the king jumping and dancing for joy, she was full of contempt for him.
ヱホバの契約の櫃ダビデの邑にいりし時サウルの女ミカル窻より窺ひてダビデ王の舞躍るを見その心にこれを藐視めり
