2 Chronicles 23
1 And in the year seventh he strengthened himself Jehoiada and he took [the] commanders of the hundreds to Azariah [the] son of Jeroham and to Ishmael [the] son of Jehohanan and to Azariah [the] son of Obed and with Maaseiah [the] son of Adaiah and with Elishaphat [the] son of Zikri with himself in covenant.
第七年になって、エホヤダは勇気をだしてエロハムの子アザリヤ、ヨハナンの子イシマエル、オベデの子アザリヤ、アダヤの子マアセヤ、ジクリの子エリシャパテなどの百人の長たちを招いて契約を結ばせた。
2 And they went around in Judah and they gathered the Levites from all [the] cities of Judah and [the] heads of the fathers of Israel and they came to Jerusalem.
そこで彼らはユダを行きめぐって、ユダのすべての町からレビびとを集め、またイスラエルの氏族の長たちを集めて、エルサレムに来た。
3 And it made all the assembly a covenant in [the] house of God with the king and he said to them here! [the] son of the king he will reign just as he spoke Yahweh on [the] sons of David.
そしてその会衆は皆神の宮で王と契約を結んだ。その時エホヤダは彼らに言った、「主がダビデの子孫のことについて言われたように、王の子が位につくべきです。
4 This [is] the thing which you will do the third [part] of you [who] come of the sabbath to the priests and to the Levites [will become] [the] gatekeepers of the thresholds.
あなたがたのなすべき事はこれです。すなわちあなたがた祭司およびレビびとの安息日にはいって来る者の、三分の一は門を守る者となり、
5 And the third [part] [will be] at [the] house of the king and the third [part] [will be] at [the] gate of the foundation and all the people [will be] in [the] courts of [the] house of Yahweh.
三分の一は王の家におり、三分の一は礎の門におり、民は皆、主の宮の庭にいなさい。
6 And may not anyone go [the] house of Yahweh that except the priests and those [who] are serving of the Levites they they will go for [are] holiness they and all the people they will keep [the] duty of Yahweh.
祭司と、勤めをするレビびとのほかは、だれも主の宮に、はいってはならない。彼らは聖なる者であるから、はいることができる。民は皆、主の命令を守らなければならない。
7 And they will surround the Levites the king all around each man and weapons his in hand his and the [one who] comes into the house he will be put to death and be with the king when comes he and when goes out he.
レビびとはめいめい手に武器をとって王のまわりに立たなければならない。宮にはいる者をすべて殺しなさい。あなたがたは王がはいる時にも出る時にも、王と共にいなさい」。
8 And they did the Levites and all Judah according to all that he had commanded Jehoiada the priest and they took each men his [who] were coming of the sabbath with [who] were going out of the sabbath for not he dismissed Jehoiada the priest the divisions.
そこでレビびとおよびユダの人々は、祭司エホヤダがすべて命じたように行い、めいめいその組の者で、安息日にはいって来るべき者と、安息日に出て行くべき者を率いていた。祭司エホヤダが組の者を去らせなかったからである。
9 And he gave Jehoiada the priest to [the] commanders of the hundreds the spears and the shields and the shields which [had belonged] to the king David which [were] [the] house of God.
また祭司エホヤダは、神の宮にあるダビデ王のやりおよび大盾、小盾を百人の長たちに渡し、
10 And he stationed all the people and each - weapon his [was] in hand his from [the] side of the house south to [the] side of the house north to the altar and to the house at the king all around.
また王を守るために、すべての民にめいめい手に武器をとらせ、宮の南側から北側にわたって、祭壇と宮に沿って立たせた。
11 And they brought out [the] son of the king and they put on him the crown and the testimony and they made king him and they anointed him Jehoiada and sons his and they said may he live the king.
こうして王の子を連れ出して、これに冠をいただかせ、あかしの書を渡して王となし、エホヤダおよびその子たちが彼に油を注いだ。そして「王万歳」と言った。
12 And she heard Athaliah [the] sound of the people who were running and who were praising the king and she came to the people [the] house of Yahweh.
アタリヤは民の走りながら王をほめる声を聞いたので、主の宮に入り、民の所へ行って、
13 And she saw and there! the king [was] standing at pillar his at the entrance and the officials and the trumpets [were] with the king and all [the] people of the land [was] joyful and [was] giving a blast on trumpets and the singers with [the] instruments of song [were] leading to praise and she tore Athaliah clothes her and she said treason treason.
見ると、王は入口で柱のかたわらに立ち、王のかたわらには将軍たちとラッパ手が立っており、また国の民は皆喜んでラッパを吹き、歌をうたう者は楽器をもってさんびしていたので、アタリヤは衣を裂いて「反逆だ、反逆だ」と叫んだ。
14 And he sent out Jehoiada the priest [the] commanders of the hundreds - [the] officers of the army and he said to them bring out her to from between the ranks and the [one who] goes after her he will be put to death with the sword for he had said the priest not you must put to death her [the] house of Yahweh.
その時エホヤダは軍勢を統率する百人の長たちを呼び出し、「列の間から彼女を連れ出せ、彼女に従う者をつるぎで殺せ」と言った。祭司が彼女を主の宮で殺してはならないと言ったからである。
15 And they put to her hands and she went to [the] entrance of [the] gate of the horses [the] house of the king and they put to death her there.
そこで人々は彼女に手をかけ、王の家の馬の門の入口まで連れて行き、その所で彼女を殺した。
16 And he made Jehoiada a covenant between himself and between all the people and between the king to become a people of Yahweh.
エホヤダは自分とすべての民と王との間に、彼らは皆、主の民となるとの契約を結んだ。
17 And they went all the people [the] house of Baal and they pulled down it and altars its and images its they broke and Mattan [the] priest of Baal they killed before the altars.
そこですべての民はバアルの家に行って、それをこわし、その祭壇とその像とを打ち砕き、バアルの祭司マッタンを祭壇の前で殺した。
18 And he put Jehoiada [the] oversight of [the] house of Yahweh in [the] hand of the priests the Levites whom he had assigned David over [the] house of Yahweh to offer up [the] burnt offerings of Yahweh according to [what] is written in [the] law of Moses with joy and with song on [the] hands of David.
エホヤダはまた主の宮の守衛を、祭司とレビびとの指揮のもとに置いた。このレビびとは昔ダビデがモーセの律法にしるされているように、喜びと歌とをもって主に燔祭をささげるために、主の宮に配置したものであって、今そのダビデの例にならったものである。
19 And he stationed the gatekeepers at [the] gates of [the] house of Yahweh and not he came a [person] unclean to any matter.
彼はまた主の宮のもろもろの門に門衛を置き、汚れた者は何によって汚れた者でも、はいらせないようにした。
20 And he took [the] commanders of the hundreds and the nobles and the rulers over the people and - all [the] people of the land and he brought down the king from [the] house of Yahweh and they came in [the] middle of [the] gate upper [the] house of the king and they made sit the king on [the] throne of royalty.
こうしてエホヤダは百人の長たち、貴族たち、民のつかさたちおよび国のすべての民を率いて、主の宮から王を連れ下り、上の門から王の家に進み、王を国の位につかせた。
21 And they rejoiced all [the] people of the land and the city it was at peace and Athaliah they had put to death with the sword.
国の民は皆喜んだ。町はアタリヤがつるぎで殺された後、穏やかであった。
