< 2 Chronicles 23 >
1 And in the seventh year Jehoiada has strengthened himself, and takes the heads of the hundreds, even Azariah son of Jeroham, and Ishmael son of Jehohanan, and Azariah son of Obed, and Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zichri, into the covenant with him.
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 go around in Judah, and gather the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and heads of the fathers of Israel, and come 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 assembly make a covenant in the house of God with the king, and he says to them, “Behold, the son of the king reigns, as YHWH spoke concerning 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 This [is] the thing that you do: the third of you, going in on the Sabbath, of the priests, and of the Levites, [are] for gatekeepers of the thresholds,
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 and the third [are] at the house of the king, and the third at the Foundation Gate, and all the people [are] in the courts of the house of YHWH.
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 none enter the house of YHWH except the priests, and those ministering of the Levites (they go in for they [are] holy), and all the people keep the watch of YHWH;
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 the Levites have surrounded the king all around, each with his weapon in his hand, and he who has gone into the house is put to death; and be with the king in his coming in and in his 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 And the Levites and all Judah do according to all that Jehoiada the priest has commanded, and each takes his men going in on the Sabbath, with those going out on the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest has not let away the divisions.
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 Jehoiada the priest gives to the heads of the hundreds the spears, and the shields, and the bucklers that [are] King David’s, that [are] in the house of God;
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 stations the whole of the people, and each [with] his dart in his hand, from the right shoulder of the house to the left shoulder of the house, at the altar, and at the house, by the king, all around.
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 bring out the son of the king, and put the crown on him, and [give him] the Testimony, and cause him to reign; and Jehoiada and his sons anoint him, and say, “Let the king live!”
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 And Athaliah hears the voice of the people who are running, and who are praising the king, and she comes to the people [in] the house of YHWH,
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 sees, and behold, the king is standing by his pillar in the entrance, and the heads, and the trumpets [are] by the king, and all the people of the land rejoicing and shouting with trumpets, and the singers with instruments of song, and the teachers, to praise, and Athaliah tears her garments and says, “Conspiracy! Conspiracy!”
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 Jehoiada the priest brings out the heads of the hundreds, inspectors of the force, and says to them, “Take her out from within the rows, and he who has gone after her is put to death by the sword”; for the priest said, “Do not put her to death [in] the house of YHWH.”
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 make sides for her, and she comes to the entrance of the Horse Gate at the house of the king, and they put her to death 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 Jehoiada makes a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, to be for a people to YHWH;
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 enter the house of Ba‘al, and break it down, indeed, they have broken his altars and his images, and they have slain Mattan priest of Ba‘al 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 Jehoiada puts the offices of the house of YHWH into the hand of the priests, the Levites, whom David had apportioned over the house of YHWH, to cause the burnt-offerings of YHWH to ascend, as written in the Law of Moses, with joy, and with singing, by the hands 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 and he stations the gatekeepers over the gates of the house of YHWH, and the unclean in anything do not go 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 takes the heads of the hundreds, and the majestic ones, and the rulers among the people, and all the people of the land, and brings down the king from the house of YHWH, and they come in through the high gate to the house of the king, and cause the king to sit on the throne of the kingdom.
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 rejoice, and the city has been quiet, and they have put Athaliah to death by 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
