2 Chronicles 35
1 Josiah [commanded that the people should] celebrate the Passover Festival to honor Yahweh in Jerusalem. So they slaughtered the lambs for the Passover [Festival] at the end of March.
茲にヨシア、ヱルサレムにおいてヱホバに逾越節を行はんとし正月の十四日に逾越の物を宰らしめ
2 Josiah assigned to the priests the tasks that they should perform at the temple and encouraged them to do their work well.
祭司をしてその職を執行はせ之を勵してヱホバの室の務をなさしめ
3 The [other] descendants of Levi were the ones who taught all the Israeli people; they had been dedicated to serve Yahweh. Josiah said to them, “Put the Sacred Chest in the temple that [the workers of] David’s son [King] Solomon of Israel built. But [carry it on poles; ] do not carry it on your shoulders. And do your your work well for Yahweh your God and for his Israeli people.
またヱホバの聖者となりてイスラエルの人衆を誨ふるレビ人に言ふ汝らイスラエルの王ダビデの子ソロモンが建たる家に聖契約の匱を放け再び肩に擔ふこと有ざるべし然ば今汝らの神ヱホバおよびその民イスラエルに事ふべし
4 Divide yourselves into clans, obeying the instructions that King David and his son Solomon wrote.
汝らまたイスラエルの王ダビデの書およびその子ソロモンの書に本づきて父祖の家に循がひその班列に依て自ら準備をなし
5 Then stand in the temple, with one group of the descendants of Levi to help each clan of the people [when they bring their offerings to the temple].
汝らの兄弟なる民の人々の宗家の區分に循ひて聖所に立ち之にレビ人の宗族の分缺ること無らしむべし
6 Slaughter the lambs for the Passover [Festival]. Perform the rituals to cause yourselves to be acceptable to Yahweh for doing this work. Prepare the sacrifices, doing what Yahweh told Moses to tell you that you should do.”
汝ら逾越の物を宰り身を潔め汝らの兄弟のために準備をなしモーセが傳へしヱホバの言のごとく行ふべしと
7 Josiah provided [from his own flocks and herds] 30,000 sheep and goats for the Passover sacrifices.
ヨシアすなはち羔羊および羔山羊を民の人々に餽る其數三萬また牡牛三千を餽る是みな王の所有の中より出して其處に居る一切の人のために逾越の祭物となせるなり
8 His officials also voluntarily contributed animals for the people and the priests and the [other] descendants of Levi. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the officials who were in charge of the temple, gave to the priests 2,600 lambs and 300 cattle to be sacrifices for the Passover.
その牧伯等も民と祭司とレビ人に誠意より與ふる所ありまた神の室の長等ヒルキヤ、ゼカリヤ、ヱヒエルも綿羊二千六百牛三百を祭司に與へて逾越の祭物と爲す
9 And Conaniah along with his [younger] brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, and Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, the leaders of the [other] descendants of Levi, provided 5,000 lambs and 500 cattle for the other descendants of Levi, to be sacrifices for the Passover.
またレビ人の長たる人々すなはちコナニヤおよびその兄弟シマヤ、ネタンエル並にハシヤビヤ、ヱイエル、ヨザバデなども綿羊五千牛五百をレビ人に餽りて逾越の祭物となす
10 Everything [for the Passover] was arranged: The priests and the other descendants of Levi stood in their places in their groups, like the king had commanded.
是のごとく献祭の事備はりぬれば王の命にしたがひて祭司等はその擔任場に立ちレビ人はその班列に循がひ居り
11 Then they slaughtered the Passover lambs. The priests sprinkled the blood [from the bowls] that were handed to them, while the [other] descendants of Levi removed the skins from the animals.
やがて逾越の物を宰りければ祭司その血をこれが手より受て洒げりレビ人その皮を剥り
12 They set aside the animals to be completely burned on the altar, in order to give them to the various family groups to offer to Yahweh, obeying the instructions that were written in the laws God gave Moses. They did the same thing with the cattle.
かくて燔祭の物を移して民の人々の父祖の家の區分に付してヱホバに献げしむモーセの書に記されたるが如し其牛に行ふところも亦是のごとし
13 Obeying those regulations, they roasted the lambs for the Passover over the fire. And they boiled the [meat of the] sacred offerings in pots and kettles and pans, and served the meat immediately to all the people [who were there].
而して例規のごとくに逾越の物を火にて炙りその他の聖物を鍋釜鼎などに烹て一切の民の人々に奔配れり
14 After that, they prepared meat for themselves and for the priests, because the priests were busy until nighttime, sacrificing the offerings to be completely burned and burning the fat parts of the offerings. So the [other] descendants of Levi prepared meat for themselves and for the priests, who were descendants of Aaron, [the first Supreme Priest].
かくて後かれら自身のためと祭司等のために備ふ其はアロンの子孫たる祭司等は燔祭と脂を献げて夜に入たればなり是に因て斯レビ人自分のためとアロンの子孫たる祭司等のために備ふるなり
15 The musicians, who were descendants of Asaph, stood in their places, as King David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s prophet had commanded. The men who guarded the gates [of the temple] did not need to leave their places, because their fellow descendants of Levi prepared food for them to eat.
アサフの子孫たる謳歌者等はダビデ、アサフ、ヘマンおよび王の先見者ヱドトンの命にしたがひてその擔任場に居り門を守る者等は門々に居てその職務を離るるに及ばざりき其はその兄弟たるレビ人これがために備へたればなり
16 So on that day everything that needed to done for worshiping Yahweh was done. They celebrated the Passover [Festival], and they presented offerings to be completely burned on the altar, which was what Josiah had commanded.
斯のごとく其日ヱホバの献祭の事ことごとく備はりければヨシア王の命にしたがひて逾越節を行ひヱホバの壇に燔祭を献げたり
17 The Israelis who were there celebrated the Passover [Festival] on that day, and for seven days they celebrated the Festival of [Eating] Unleavened Bread.
即ち其處に來れるイスラエルの子孫その時逾越節を行ひ七日の間酵いれぬパンの節を行へり
18 The Passover [Festival] had not been celebrated like that in Israel since the time that the prophet Samuel lived. None of the other kings of Israel had ever celebrated the Passover like Josiah did, along with the priests, the other descendants of Levi, and all [the other people of] Judah and Israel who were there with the people who lived in Jerusalem.
預言者サムエルの日より以來イスラエルにて是のごとくに逾越節を行ひし事なし又イスラエルの諸王の中にはヨシアが祭司レビ人ならびに來りあつまれるユダとイスラエルの諸人およびヱルサレムの民とともに行ひし如き逾越節を行ひし者一人もあらず
19 They celebrated this Passover Festival when Josiah had been ruling for almost 18 years.
この逾越節はヨシアの治世の十八年に行ひしなり
20 After Josiah had done all those things to [restore the worship at] the temple, King Neco of Egypt went [with his army] to attack Carchemish [city] alongside the Euphrates [River], and Josiah marched [with his army] to fight against them.
是のごとくヨシア殿をととのへし後エジプトの王ネコ、ユフラテの邊なるカルケミシを攻撃んとて上り來りけるにヨシアこれを禦がんとて出往り
21 Neco sent some messengers to Josiah, to tell him, “You are the king of Judah, and there is certainly no quarrel between you and me. My army is not attacking you people; we are attacking another army, [the army of Babylonia]. God has told me to hurry. So stop opposing God, who is for me. If you do not stop, God will get rid of you.”
是においてネコ使者をかれに遣はして言ふユダの王よ是あに汝の與る所ならんや今日は汝を攻んとには非ず我敵の家を攻んとするなり神われに命じて急がしむ神われとともにあり汝神に逆ふことを罷よ恐らくは彼なんぢを滅ぼしたまはんと
22 But Josiah would not pay attention to him. Instead, he disguised himself in order to be able to attack [the army of Egypt without anyone recognizing him]. He did not pay any attention to what God had told Neco to say. Instead, he [and his army] went to fight Neco’s army at the plain of Megiddo.
然るにヨシア面を轉して去ことを肯はず却てこれと戰はんとて服装を變へ神の口より出しネコの言を聽いれずしてメギドンの谷に到りて戰ひけるが
23 Some Egyptian archers shot King Josiah. He told his officers, “Take me away from here because I am badly wounded.”
射手の者等ヨシア王に射中たれば王その臣僕にむかひて我を扶け出せ我太痍を負ふと言り
24 So they took him out of his chariot and put him in another chariot that he had brought with him, and they took him to Jerusalem, where he died. He was buried in the tombs where his ancestors [had been buried], and all [the people of] Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah mourned for him.
是においてその臣僕等かれをその車より扶けおろし其引せたる次の車に乗てヱルサレムにつれゆきけるが遂に死たればその先祖の墓にこれを葬りぬユダとヱルサレムみなヨシアのために哀しめり
25 [The prophet] Jeremiah composed a song to mourn for Josiah, and all the men and women singers in Israel still mourn for Josiah by singing that song. That became a custom in Israel; the words of that song are written in a scroll of funeral songs.
時にヱレミヤ、ヨシアのために哀歌を作れり謳歌男謳歌女今日にいたるまでその哀歌の中にヨシアの事を述べイスラエルの中に之を例となせりその詞は哀歌の中に書さる
26 A record of the other things that happened while Josiah ruled, from the time he started to rule until he died, including how he faithfully honored God by obeying everything that was written in the laws of Yahweh, is in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel and Judah’.
ヨシアのその餘の行爲そのヱホバの律法に録されたる所にしたがひて爲し徳行
およびその始終の行爲などはイスラエルとユダの列王の書に記さる
