Ezra 8
1 This is a list of the family leaders and genealogical records of those who came back with me from Babylon during the reign of King Artaxerxes:
アルタシヤスタ王の治世に我とともにバビロンより上り來りし者等の宗家の長およびその系譜は左のごとし
2 From the sons of Phinehas, Gershom. From the sons of Ithamar, Daniel. From the sons of David, Hattush,
ピネハスの子孫の中にてはゲルシヨム、イタマルの子孫の中にてはダニエル、ダビデの子孫の中にてはハットシ
3 son of Shecaniah. From the sons of Parosh, Zechariah, and with him 150 men were registered.

12 From the sons of Azgad, Johanan, son of Hakkatan, and with him 110 men.
アズガデの子孫の中にてはハッカタンの子ヨハナン彼とともなる男百十人
13 From the sons of Adonikam, those who were last, their names being Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah, and with them 60 men.
アドニカムの子孫の中の後なる者等あり 其名をエリペレテ、ユエル、シマヤといふ彼らと偕なる男六十人
14 From the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zaccur, and with them 70 men.
ビグワイの子孫の中にてはウタイおよびザブデ彼等とともなる男七十人
15 I gathered the returning exiles together at the Ahava Canal. We camped there for three days while I reviewed who had come—the ordinary people, the priests, and the Levites. I discovered there wasn't a single Levite
我かれらをアハワに流るる所の河の邊に集めて三日が間かしこに天幕を張居たりしが我民と祭司とを閲せしにレビの子孫一人も其處に居ざりければ
16 so I sent for Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, who were leaders, and for Joiarib and Elnathan, who were men with good insight.
すなはち人を遣てエリエゼル、アリエル、シマヤ、エルナタン、ヤリブ、エルナタン、ナタン、ゼカリヤ、メシユラムなどいふ長たる人々を招きまた敎晦を施こす所のヨヤリブおよびエルナタンを招けり
17 I told them to go to Iddo, the leader of the Temple servants at Casiphia, asking him and his relatives to send us ministers for the Temple of our God.
而して我カシピアといふ處の長イドの許に彼らを出し遣せり 即ち我カシピアといふ處にをるイドとその兄弟なるネテニ人に告ぐべき詞を之が口に授け我等の神の室のために役者を我儕に携へ來れと言けるが
18 Since our gracious God was with us, they brought us Sherebiah, a man with good insight from the sons of Mahli, son of Levi, son of Israel, together with his sons and brothers, a total of eighteen men;
我らの神よく我儕を助けたまひて彼等つひにイスラエルの子レビの子マヘリの子孫イシケセルを我らに携さへ來り又セレビヤといふ者およびその子等と兄弟十八人
19 and Hashabiah, along with Jeshaiah, from the sons of Merari, and his brothers and their sons, a total of twenty men.
ハシヤビヤならびにメラリの子孫のヱサヤおよびその兄弟とその子等二十人を携へ
20 In addition they brought 220 of the Temple servants, a group appointed by David and his officials to help the Levites. These were all registered by name.
またネテニ人すなはちダビデとその牧伯等がレビ人に事へしむるために設けたりしネテニ人二百二十人を携へ來れり 此等の者は皆その名を掲げられたり
21 At the Ahava Canal I called for a fast so we could confess our sins before God and ask him for a safe journey for us and our children, along with all our possessions.
斯て我かしこなるアハワの河の邊にて斷食を宣傳へ我儕の神の前にて我儕身を卑し我らと我らの小き者と我らの諸の所有のために正しき途を示されんことを之に求む
22 I had been reluctant to ask the king to give us a military escort to protect us from enemies on the way. We had told the king, “Our gracious God takes care of everyone who follows him, but shows his anger against anyone who abandons him.”
其は我儕さきに王に告て我らの神は己を求むる者を凡て善く助けまた己を棄る者にはその權能と震怒とをあらはしたまふと言しに因て我道路の敵を防ぎて我儕を護るべき歩兵と騎兵とを王に請ふを羞ぢたればなり
23 So we fasted and asked God to protect us, and he answered our prayers.
かくてこのことを我ら斷食して我儕の神に求めけるに其祈禱を容たまへり
24 Then I designated twelve of the leading priests, and Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers,
時に我祭司の長十二人即ちセレビヤ、ハシヤビヤおよびその兄弟十人を之とともに擇び
25 and I weighed out and handed them the donations of silver and gold, and the items that the king, his counselors, his leaders, and all the people of Israel there had given for the Temple of our God.
金銀および器皿すなはち王とその議官とその牧伯と彼處の一切のイスラエル人とが我らの神の室のために獻げたる奉納物を量りて彼らに付せり
26 I weighed out and placed in their hands 650 talents of silver, silver Temple items weighing 100 talents, 100 talents of gold,
その量りて彼らの手に付せし者は銀六百五十タラント銀の器百タラント金百タラントなりき
27 20 gold bowls worth 1,000 darics, and two articles of highly-polished bronze, as valuable as gold.
また金の大斝二十あり一千ダリクに當るまた光り輝く精銅の器二箇あり その貴きこと金のごとし
28 I told them, “You are set apart for the Lord, and these Temple items are too. The silver and gold are a voluntary offering to the Lord, the God of your forefathers.
而して我かれらに言り汝等はヱホバの聖者なり 此器皿もまた聖し又この金銀は汝らの先祖の神ヱホバに奉まつりし誠意よりの禮物なり
29 You are to guard them and keep them safe until you hand them over, weighing them before the high priests, the Levites and the family leaders in Israel at Jerusalem, in the treasury rooms within the Lord's Temple.”
汝等ヱルサレムに至りてヱホバの家の室に於て祭司レビ人の長等およびイスラエルの宗家の首等の前に量るまで之を伺ひ守るべしと
30 The priests and Levites took responsibility for the silver and gold and the Temple items that had been weighed out to be brought to the Temple of our God in Jerusalem.
是に於て祭司およびレビ人その金銀および器皿をヱルサレムなる我らの神の室に携へゆかんとて其重にしたがひて之を受取れり
31 On the twelfth day of the first month, we left the Ahava Canal to go to Jerusalem, and our God was with us to protect us from enemy ambushes along the way.
我ら正月の十二日にアハワの河邊を出たちてヱルサレム赴きけるが我らの神その手を我らの上におき我らを救ひて敵の手また路に伏て窺ふ者の手に陷らしめたまはざりき
32 Eventually we arrived in Jerusalem and rested there for three days.
我儕すなはちヱルサレムに至りて三日かしこに居しが
33 On the fourth day the silver and the gold and the Temple items were weighed out in the Temple of our God and handed over to Meremoth, son of Uriah the priest, accompanied by Eleazar, son of Phinehas. Also present were the Levites, Jozabad, son of Jeshua, and Noadiah, son of Binnui.
四日にいたりて我らの神の室においてその金銀および器皿をウリヤの子祭司メレモテの手に量り付せり ピネハスの子エレアザル彼に副ふ又ヱシユアの子ヨザバデおよびビンヌイの子ノアデヤの二人のレビ人かれらに副ふ
34 Everything was checked, both by number and weight, and the total weight was written down at the time.
即ちその一々の重と數を査べ其重をことごとく其時かきとめたり
35 Then the exiles who had returned from captivity sacrificed burnt offerings to the God of Israel—twelve bulls for all of Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and a sin offering of twelve goats. All were sacrificed as a burnt offering to the Lord.
俘囚の人々のその俘囚をゆるされて歸り來し者イスラエルの神に燔祭を獻げたり 即ちイスラエル全體にあたる牡牛十二を獻げまた牡羊九十六羔羊七十七罪祭の牡山羊十二を獻げたり 是みなヱホバにたてまつりし燔祭なり
36 They also delivered the king's decrees to the chief officers of the king and the governors of the province west of the Euphrates, who then provided assistance to the people and to God's Temple.
彼等王の勅諭を王の代官と河外ふの總督等に示しければその人々民を助けて神の室を建しむ
