2 Chronicles 31
1 Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and broke the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.
この事すべて終りしかば其處に在しイスラエル人みなユダの邑々に出ゆき柱像を碎きアシラ像を斫たふしユダとベニヤミンの全地より崇邱と祭壇を崩し絶ちエフライム、マナセにも及ぼして遂にまつたく之を毀ち而してイスラエルの子孫おのおのその邑々に還りて己の產業にいたれり
2 And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camp of the LORD.
ヒゼキヤ祭司およびレビ人の班列を定めその班列にしたがひて各々にその職を行はしむ即ち祭司とレビ人をして燔祭および酬恩祭を献げしめヱホバの營の門において奉事をなし感謝をなし讃美をなさしめ
3 He appointed also the king’s portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, that is, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of the LORD.
また己の財產の中より王の分を出して燔祭のためにす即ち朝夕の燔祭および安息日朔日節會などの燔祭のために之を出してヱホバの律法に記さるる如くす
4 Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of the LORD.
彼またヱルサレムに住む民に祭司とレビ人にその分を與へんことを命ず是かれらをしてヱホバの律法に身を委ねしめんとてなり
5 And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of grain, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things they brought in abundantly.
其命令の傳はるや否やイスラエルの子孫穀物酒油蜜ならびに田野の諸の產物の初を多く献げまた一切の物の什一を夥多しく携へきたる
6 And the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated to the LORD their God, and laid them by heaps.
ユダの邑々に住るイスラエルとユダの子孫もまた牛羊の什一ならびにその神ヱホバに納むべき聖物の什一を携へきたりてこれを積疊ぬ
7 In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
三月に之を積疊ぬることを始め七月にいたりて之を終れり
8 And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD, and his people Israel.
ヒゼキヤおよび牧伯等きたりて其積疊ねたる物を見ヱホバとその民イスラエルを祝せり
9 Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
ヒゼキヤその積疊ねたる物の事を祭司とレビ人に問尋ねければ
10 And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and said, Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat, and have left plenty: for the LORD hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great abundance.
ザドクの家より出し祭司の長アザリヤ彼に應へて言けるは民ヱホバの室に禮物を携ふることを始めしより以來我儕飽までに食ひしがその餘れる所はなはだ多しヱホバその民をめぐみたまひたればなりその餘れる所かくのごとく夥多しと
11 Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the LORD; and they prepared them,
ヒゼキヤ、ヱホバの家の内に室を設くることを命じければ則ちこれを設け
12 And brought in the offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: over which Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was the next.
忠實にその禮物什一および奉納物を携へいれりレビ人コナニヤこれを主どりその兄弟シメイこれに副ふ
13 And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.
ヱヒエル、アザジヤ、ナハテ、アサヘル、ヱレモテ、ヨザバデ、ヱリエル、イスマキヤ、マハテ、ベナヤ等ヒゼキヤ王および神の室の宰アザリヤの命に依りコナニヤ及びその兄弟シメイの手下につきてこれが監督者となる
14 And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter toward the east, was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of the LORD, and the most holy things.
東の門を守る者レビ人ヱムナの子コレ神に献ぐる誠意よりの禮物を司どりてヱホバの献納物および至聖物を頒つ
15 And under him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their set office, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small:
その手につく者はエデン、ミニヤミン、ヱシユア、シマヤ、アマリヤおよびシカニヤみな祭司の邑々に居てその職を盡しその兄弟に班列に依て之を頒つ大小ともに均し
16 Besides their genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even to every one that entereth into the house of the LORD, his daily portion for their service in their charges according to their courses;
此外にまた凡て名簿に載たる男子三歳以上にしてヱホバの室に入りその班列にしたがひて日々の職分を盡し擔任の勤務を爲すところの者に之を頒つ
17 Both to the genealogy of the priests by the house of their fathers, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses;
またその宗家にしたがひて名簿に載られその班列にしたがひて擔任の事を執行ふところの祭司および二十歳以上のレビ人
18 And to the genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation: for in their set office they sanctified themselves in holiness:
ならびに名簿に載たるその小き者その妻その男子その女子などに盡く之を頒つ會中すべて然り即ち彼等は潔白忠實にその職を盡せり
19 Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, who were in the fields of the common lands of their cities, in every single city, the men that were mentioned by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogies among the Levites.
また邑々の郊地に居るアロンの子孫たる祭司等のためには邑ごとに人を名指し選び祭司の中の一切の男およびレビ人の中の名簿に載せたる一切の者にその分を予へしむ
20 And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and performed that which was good and right and truth before the LORD his God.
ヒゼキヤ、ユダ全國に斯のごとく爲し善事正き事忠實なる事をその神ヱホバの前に行へり
21 And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
凡てその神の室の職務につき律法につき誡命につきて行ひ始めてその神を求めし工は悉く心をつくして行ひてこれを成就たり
