Ezra 3
1 And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
イスラエルの子孫かくその邑々に住居しが七月に至りて民一人のごとくにヱルサレムに集まれり
2 Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brothers the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brothers, and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
是に於てヨザダクの子ヱシュアとその兄弟なる祭司等およびシャルテルの子ゼルバベルとその兄弟等立おこりてイスラエルの神の壇を築けり 是神の人モーセの律法に記されたる所に循ひてその上に燔祭を獻げんとてなりき
3 And they set the altar on his bases; for fear was on them because of the people of those countries: and they offered burnt offerings thereon to the LORD, even burnt offerings morning and evening.
彼等は壇をその本の處に設けたり 是國々の民を懼れしが故なり 而してその上にて燔祭をヱホバに獻げ朝夕にこれを獻ぐ
4 They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the custom, as the duty of every day required;
またその録されたる所に循ひて結茅節を行ひ毎日の分を按へて例に照し數のごとくに日々の燔祭を獻げたり
5 And afterward offered the continual burnt offering, both of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a freewill offering to the LORD.
是より後は常の燔祭および月朔とヱホバの一切のきよき節會とに用ゐる供物ならびに人の誠意よりヱホバにたてまつる供物を獻ぐることをす
6 From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings to the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid.
即ち七月の一日よりして燔祭をヱホバに獻ぐることを始めけるがヱホバの殿の基礎は未だ置ざりき
7 They gave money also to the masons, and to the carpenters; and meat, and drink, and oil, to them of Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.
是において石工と木工に金を交付しまたシドンとツロの者に食物飮物および油を與へてペルシヤの王クロスの允准にしたがひてレバノンよりヨッパの海に香柏を運ばしめたり
8 Now in the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity to Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the LORD.
斯てヱルサレムより神の室に歸りたる次の年の二月にシャルテルの子ゼルバベル、ヨザダクの子ヱシュアおよびその兄弟たる他の祭司レビ人など凡て俘囚をゆるされてヱルサレムに歸りし者等を始め二十歳以上のレビ人を立てヱホバの室の工事を監督せしむ
9 Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brothers the Levites.
是に於てユダの子等なるヱシュアとその子等および兄弟カデミエルとその子等齊しく立て神の家の工人を監督せり ヘナダデの子等およびその子等と兄弟等のレビ人も然り
10 And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel.
かくて建築者ヱホバの殿の基礎を置る時祭司等禮服を衣て喇叭を執りアサフの子孫たるレビ人鐃鈸を執りイスラエルの王ダビデの例に循ひてヱホバを讃美す
11 And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks to the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endures for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.
彼等班列にしたがひて諸共に歌を謠ひてヱホバを讃めかつ頌へヱホバは恩ふかく其矜恤は永遠にたゆることなければなりと言り そのヱホバを讃美する時に民みな大聲をあげて呼はれり ヱホバの室の基礎を据ればなり
12 But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:
されど祭司レビ人宗家の長の中に以前の室を見たりし老人ありけるが今この室の基礎をその目の前に置るを見て多く聲を放ちて泣り また喜悦のために聲をあげて呼はる者も多かりき
13 So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.
是をもて人衆民の歡こびて呼はる聲と民の泣く聲とを聞きわくることを得ざりき そは民大聲に呼はり叫びければその聲遠くまで聞えわたりたればなり
