< 2 Chronicles 6 >
1 Then Solomon said, “YHWH said [He would] dwell in thick darkness,
是においてソロモン言けるはヱホバは濃き雲の中に居んと言たまひしが
2 and I have built a house of habitation for You, and a fixed place for Your dwelling for all ages.”
我汝のために住むべき家永久に居べき所を建たりと
3 And the king turns around his face, and blesses the whole assembly of Israel, and the whole assembly of Israel is standing,
而して王その面をふりむけてイスラエルの全會衆を祝せり時にイスラエルの會衆は皆立をれり
4 and he says, “Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, who has spoken with His mouth with my father David, and with His hands has fulfilled [it], saying,
彼いひけるはイスラエルの神ヱホバは讃べき哉ヱホバはその口をもて吾父ダビデに言ひその手をもて之を成とげたまへり
5 From the day that I brought out My people from the land of Egypt, I have not fixed on a city out of any of the tribes of Israel to build a house for my name being there, and I have not fixed on a man to be leader over My people Israel;
即ち言たまひけらく我はわが民をエジプトの地より導き出せし日より我名を置べき家を建しめんためにイスラエルの諸の支派の中より何の邑をも選みしこと無く又何人をも選みて我民イスラエルの君となせしこと無し
6 and I fix on Jerusalem for My Name being there, and I fix on David to be over My people Israel.
只我はわが名を置くためにヱルサレムを選みまた我民イスラエルを治めしむるためにダビデを選めり
7 And it is with the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of YHWH God of Israel,
夫イスラエルの神ヱホバの名のために家を建ることは我父ダビデの心にありき
8 and YHWH says to my father David, Because that it has been with your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well that it has been with your heart,
然るにヱホバわが父ダビデに言たまひけるは我名のために家を建ること汝の心にあり汝の心にこの事あるは善し
9 but you do not build the house, for your son who comes forth out from your loins, he builds the house for My Name.
然れども汝はその家を建べからず汝の腰より出る汝の子その人わが名のために家を建べしと
10 And YHWH establishes His word that He spoke, and I rise up in the stead of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as YHWH spoke, and I build the house for the Name of YHWH, God of Israel,
而してヱホバその言たまひし言をおこなひたまへり即ち我わが父ダビデに代りて立ちヱホバの言たまひしごとくイスラエルの位に坐しイスラエルの神ヱホバの名のために家を建て
11 and I place the Ark there, where the covenant of YHWH [is] that He made with the sons of Israel.”
その中にヱホバがイスラエルの子孫になしたまひし契約を容る櫃ををさめたりと
12 And he stands before the altar of YHWH, in front of all the assembly of Israel, and spreads out his hand—
ソロモン、イスラエルの全會衆の前にてヱホバの壇の前に立てその手を舒ぶ
13 for Solomon has made a scaffold of bronze, and puts it in the midst of the court, five cubits its length, and five cubits its breadth, and three cubits its height, and he stands on it, and kneels on his knees in front of all the assembly of Israel, and spreads forth his hands toward the heavens—
ソロモンさきに長五キユビト濶五キユビト高三キユビトの銅の臺を造りてこれを庭の眞中に据おきたりしが乃ちその上に立ちイスラエルの全會衆の前にて膝をかがめ其手を天に舒て
14 and says, “O YHWH God of Israel, there is not like You a god in the heavens and in the earth, keeping the covenant and the kindness for Your servants who are walking before You with all their heart;
言けるはイスラエルの神ヱホバ天にも地にも汝のごとき神なし汝は契約を保ちたまひ心を全うして汝の前に歩むところの汝の僕等に恩惠を施こしたまふ
15 who has kept for Your servant, my father David, that which You spoke to him; indeed, You speak with Your mouth, and with Your hand have fulfilled [it], as at this day.
汝は汝の僕わが父ダビデにのたまひし所を保ちたまへり汝は口をもて言ひ手をもて成就たまへること今日のごとし
16 And now, O YHWH, God of Israel, keep for Your servant, my father David, that which You spoke to him, saying, A man of yours is never cut off from before My face, sitting on the throne of Israel—only, if your sons watch their way to walk in My law, as you have walked before Me.
イスラエルの神ヱホバよ然ば汝が僕わが父ダビデに語りて若し汝の子孫その道を愼みて汝がわが前に歩めるごとくに我律法にあゆまばイスラエルの位に坐する人わが前にて汝に缺ること無るべしと言たまひし事をダビデのために保ちたまへ
17 And now, O YHWH, God of Israel, let Your word be steadfast that You have spoken to Your servant, to David.
然ばイスラエルの神ヱホバよ汝が僕ダビデに言たまへるなんぢの言に效驗あらしめたまへ
18 For is it true [that] God dwells with man on the earth? Behold, the heavens, and the heavens of the heavens, do not contain You, how much less this house that I have built?
但し神果して地の上に人とともに居たまふや夫天も諸天の天も汝を容るに足ず况て我が建たる此家をや
19 And You have turned to the prayer of Your servant, and to his supplication, O YHWH my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer that Your servant is praying before You,
然れども我神ヱホバよ僕の祈祷と懇願をかへりみて僕が今汝の前に祈るその號呼と祈祷を聽たまへ
20 for Your eyes being open toward this house by day and by night, toward the place that You have said to put Your Name there, to listen to the prayer that Your servant prays toward this place.
願くは汝の目を夜晝此家の上即ち汝が其名を置んと言たまへる所の上に開きたまへ願くは僕がこの處にむかひて祈らん祈祷を聽たまへ
21 And You have listened to the supplications of Your servant, and of Your people Israel, that they pray toward this place, and You hear from the place of Your dwelling, from the heavens, and have listened, and forgiven.
願くは僕と汝の民イスラエルがこの處にむかひて祈る時にその懇願を聽たまへ請ふ汝の住處なる天より聽き聽て赦したまへ
22 If a man sins against his neighbor, and he has lifted up an oath on him to cause him to swear, and the oath has come in before Your altar in this house—
人その隣人にむかひて罪を犯せることありてその人誓をもて誓ふことを要められんに若し來りてこの家において汝の壇の前に誓ひなば
23 then You hear from the heavens, and have done, and have judged Your servants, to give back to the wicked, to put his way on his head, and to declare righteous the righteous, to give to him according to his righteousness.
汝天より聽て行ひ汝の僕等を鞫き惡き者に返報をなしてその道をその首に歸し義者を義としてその義にしたがひて之を待ひたまへ
24 And if Your people Israel is struck before an enemy because they sin against You, and they have turned back and confessed Your Name, and prayed and made supplication before You in this house—
汝の民イスラエルなんぢに罪を犯したるがために敵の前に敗れんに若なんぢに歸りて汝の名を崇め此家にて汝の前に祈り願ひなば
25 then You hear from the heavens and have forgiven the sin of Your people Israel, and caused them to return to the ground that You have given to them, and to their fathers.
汝天より聽て汝の民イスラエルの罪を赦し汝が彼等とその先祖に與へし地に彼等を歸らしめたまへ
26 In the heavens being restrained and there is no rain because they sin against You, and they have prayed toward this place and confessed Your Name, [and] they turn back from their sin because You afflict them—
彼らが汝に罪を犯したるがために天閉て雨なからんに彼ら若この處にむかひて祈り汝の名を崇め汝が彼らを苦しめたまふ時にその罪を離れなば
27 then You hear in the heavens, and have forgiven the sin of Your servants, and of Your people Israel, because You direct them to the good way in which they walk, and have given rain on Your land that You have given to Your people for an inheritance.
汝天より聽きて汝の僕等なんぢの民イスラエルの罪を赦したまへ汝旣にかれらにその歩むべき善道を敎へたまへり汝の民に與へて產業となさしめたまひし汝の地に雨を降したまへ
28 Famine, when it is in the land, [and] pestilence, when it is [in the land], blasting and mildew, locust and caterpillar, when they are [in the land], when its enemies have distressed it in the land—its gates, any plague and any sickness;
若くは國に饑饉あるか若くは疫病枯死朽腐蟊賊稲蠹あるか若くは其敵かれらをその國の邑に圍む等如何なる災禍如何なる疾病あるとも
29 any prayer, any supplication that is for any man, and for all Your people Israel, when they each know his own plague, and his own pain, and he has spread out his hands toward this house—
もし一人或は汝の民イスラエルみな各々おのれの災禍と憂患を知てこの家にむかひて手を舒なば如何なる祈祷如何なる懇願をなすとも
30 then You hear from the heavens, the settled place of Your dwelling, and have forgiven, and have given to each according to all his ways (because You know his heart, for You alone have known the heart of the sons of men),
汝の住處なる天より聽て赦し各々の人にその心を知たまふごとくその道々にしたがひて報いたまへ其は汝のみ人々の心を知たまへばなり
31 so that they fear You, to walk in Your ways, all the days that they are living on the face of the ground that You have given to our fathers.
汝かく彼らをして汝が彼らの先祖に與へたまへる地に居る日の間つねに汝を畏れしめ汝の道に歩ましめたまへ
32 And also, to the stranger who is not of Your people Israel, and he has come from a far-off land for the sake of Your great Name, and Your strong hand, and Your outstretched arm, and they have come in and prayed toward this house—
且汝の民イスラエルの者にあらずして汝の大なる名と強き手と伸たる腕とのために遠き國より來れる異邦人においてもまた若來りてこの家にむかひて祈らば
33 then You hear from the heavens, from the settled place of Your dwelling, and have done according to all that the stranger calls to You for, so that all the peoples of the earth know Your Name, so as to fear You, as Your people Israel, and to know that Your Name is called on this house that I have built.
汝の住處なる天より聽き凡て異邦人の汝に龥もとむるごとく成たまへ汝かく地の諸の民をして汝の名を知らしめ汝の民イスラエルの爲ごとくに汝を畏れしめ又わが建たる此家は汝の名をもて稱らるるといふことを知しめたまへ
34 When Your people go out to battle against its enemies in the way that You send them, and they have prayed to You [in] the way of this city that You have fixed on, and the house that I have built for Your Name—
汝の民その敵と戰はんとて汝の遣はしたまふ道に進める時もし汝が選びたまへるこの邑およびわが汝の名のために建たる家にむかひて汝に祈らば
35 then You have heard their prayer and their supplication from the heavens, and have maintained their cause.
汝天より彼らの祈祷と懇願を聽て彼らを助けたまへ
36 When they sin against You—for there is not a man who does not sin—and You have been angry with them, and have given them before an enemy, and their captors have taken them captive to a land far off or near;
人は罪を犯さざる者なければ彼ら汝に罪を犯すことありて汝かれらを怒り彼らをその敵に付したまひて敵かれらを虜として遠き地または近き地に曳ゆかん時
37 and they have turned [it] back to their heart in the land to where they have been taken captive, and have turned back and made supplication to You in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have done wickedly;
彼らその擄れゆきし地において自ら心に了るところあり其俘擄の地において翻へりて汝に祈り我らは罪を犯し悖れる事を爲し惡き事を行ひたりと言ひ
38 indeed, they have turned back to You with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their captivity, to where they have taken them captive, and they have prayed [in] the way of their land that You have given to their fathers, and of the city that You have chosen, and of the house that I have built for Your Name—
その擄へゆかれし俘擄の地にて一心一念に汝に立歸り汝がその先祖に與へたまへる地にむかひ汝が選びたまへる邑と我が汝の名のために建たる家にむかひて祈らば
39 then You have heard from the heavens, from the settled place of Your dwelling, their prayer and their supplications, and have maintained their cause, and forgiven Your people who have sinned against You.
汝の住處なる天より彼らの祈祷と懇願を聽て彼らを助け汝の民が汝にむかひて罪を犯したるを赦したまへ
40 Now my God, I implore You, let Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to the prayer of this place.
然ば我神よ願くは此處にて爲す祈祷に汝の目を開き耳を傾むけたまヘ
41 And now, rise, O YHWH God, to Your rest, You and the Ark of Your strength; Your priests, O YHWH God, are clothed with salvation, and Your saints rejoice in the goodness.
ヱホバ神よ今汝および汝の力ある契約の櫃起て汝の安居の所にいりたまへヱホバ神よ願くは汝の祭司等に拯救の衣を纒はせ汝の聖徒等に恩惠を喜こばせたまヘ
42 O YHWH God, do not turn back the face of Your anointed, be mindful of the kind acts of Your servant David.”
ヱホバ神よ汝の膏そそぎし者の面を黜ぞけたまふ勿れ汝の僕ダビデの徳行を記念たまへ
