2 Chronicles 23
1 In the seventh year, Jehoiada showed his strength and entered into a covenant with the commanders of hundreds, Azariah son of Jeroham, Ishmael son of Jehohanan, Azariah son of Obed, Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zichri.
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 They went about in Judah and gathered the Levites from all the cities of Judah, as well as the heads of the ancestral houses of Israel, and they came 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 All the assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. Jehoiada said to them, “See, the king's son will reign, as Yahweh has said concerning the descendants 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 what you must do: A third of you priests and Levites who come to serve on the Sabbath will be guards at the doors.
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 Another third will be at the king's house, and the other third will be at the Foundation Gate. All the people will be in the courtyard of the house of Yahweh.
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 Allow no one to come into the house of Yahweh, except for the priests and the Levites who are serving. They may enter because they are consecrated. But all the other people must obey the commands of Yahweh.
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 The Levites must surround the king on all sides, every man with his weapons in his hand. Whoever comes into the house, let him be killed. Stay with the king when he comes in and when he goes 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 So the Levites and all Judah served in every way in the manner in which Jehoiada the priest commanded. Each one took his men, those who were to come in to serve on the Sabbath, and those who were to leave off serving on the Sabbath, for Jehoiada the priest had not dismissed any of their 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 Then Jehoiada the priest brought to the commanders spears and small and large shields that had been King David's that were 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 Jehoiada placed all the soldiers, each man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, surrounding the king.
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 Then they brought out the king's son, put the crown on him, and gave him the covenant decrees. Then they made him king, and Jehoiada and his sons anointed him. Then they said, “Long live the king.”
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 When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people in the house of Yahweh,
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 she looked, and, behold, the king was standing by his pillar at the entrance, and the commanders and the trumpeters were by the king. All the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets, and the singers were playing musical instruments and leading the singing of praise. Then Athaliah tore her clothes and shouted, “Treason! Treason!”
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 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the commanders of hundreds who were over the army and said to them, “Bring her out between the ranks; anyone who follows her, let him be killed with the sword.” For the priest had said, “Do not kill her in the house of Yahweh.”
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 So they seized her as she went into the entrance of the Horse Gate of the king's house, and there they killed her.
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 Then Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, all the people, and the king, that they should be Yahweh's people.
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 So all the people went to the house of Baal and tore it down. They smashed Baal's altars and his images to pieces, and they killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of those 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 Jehoiada appointed officers for the house of Yahweh under the hand of the priests, who were Levites, whom David had assigned to the house of Yahweh, to offer the burnt offerings to Yahweh, as it was written in the law of Moses, together with rejoicing and singing, as David had given direction.
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 Jehoiada set guards at the gates of the house of Yahweh, so that no one that was unclean in any way should enter.
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 Jehoiada took with him the commanders of hundreds, the noblemen, the governors of the people, and all the people of the land. He brought down the king from the house of Yahweh; the people came through the Upper Gate to the king's house and sat the king 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 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. As for Athaliah, they had killed her with 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
