Ezra 3
1 And the seventh month comes, and the sons of Israel [are] in the cities, and the people are gathered, 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 And Jeshua son of Jozadak rises, and his brothers the priests, and Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and his brothers, and they build the altar of the God of Israel, to cause to ascend on it burnt-offerings, 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ユアとその兄弟なる祭司等およびシヤ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 establish the altar on its bases, because of the fear on them of the peoples of the lands, and he causes burnt-offerings to ascend on it to YHWH, burnt-offerings for the morning and for the 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 And they make the Celebration of the Shelters as it is written, and the burnt-offering of the day daily in number according to the ordinance, the matter of a day in its day;
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 after this a continual burnt-offering, and for new moons, and for all appointed times of YHWH that are sanctified; and for everyone who is willingly offering a willing-offering to YHWH.
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 they have begun to cause burnt-offerings to ascend to YHWH, and the temple of YHWH has not been founded,
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 and they give money to hewers and to craftsmen, and food, and drink, and oil to Zidonians and to Tyrians, to bring in cedar-trees from Lebanon to the Sea of Joppa, according to the permission of Cyrus king of Persia concerning them.
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ツパの海に香柏を運ばしめたり
8 And in the second year of their coming to the house of God, to Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those coming from the captivity to Jerusalem, and they appoint the Levites from a son of twenty years and upward, to overlook the work of the house of YHWH.
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ヤルテルの子ゼルバベル、ヨザダクの子ヱシユ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 And Jeshua stands, [and] his sons, and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, sons of Judah together, to overlook those doing the work in the house of God; the sons of Henadad, [and] their sons and their brothers the Levites.
是に於てユダの子等なるヱシユ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 those building have founded the temple of YHWH, and they appoint the priests, clothed, with trumpets, and the Levites, sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise YHWH, by means of [the instruments 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 respond in praising and in giving thanks to YHWH, “For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time over Israel!” And all the people have shouted [with] a great shout in giving praise to YHWH, because the house of YHWH has been founded.
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 And many of the priests, and the Levites, and the heads of the fathers, the aged men who had seen the first house—in this house being founded before their eyes—are weeping with a loud voice, and many with a shout, in joy, lifting up the voice;
されど祭司レビ人宗家の長等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 and the people are not discerning the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people, for the people are shouting [with] a great shout, and the noise has been heard to a distance.
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
