1 Forsothe Aggei, the prophete, and Zacharie, the prophete, the sone of Ado, prophesieden, prophesiynge in the name of God of Israel, to the Jewis that weren in Juda and Jerusalem.
爰に預言者ハガイおよびイドの子ゼカリヤの二人の預言者ユダとヱルサレムに居るユダヤ人に向ひてイスラエルの神の名をもて預言する所ありければ
2 Thanne Zorobabel, the sone of Salatiel, and Josue, the sone of Josedech, risiden, and bigunnen to bilde the temple of God in Jerusalem; and with hem rysyden the prophetis of God, helpynge hem.
シヤルテルの子ゼルバベルおよびヨザダクの子ヱシュア起あがりてヱルサレムなる神の室を建ることを始む 神の預言者等これと共に在て之を助く
3 Forsothe in that tyme Tatannai, that was duyk biyende the flood, and Starbusannay, and the counselouris of hem, camen to hem, and seiden thus to hem, Who yaf counsel to you to bilde this hows, and to restore these wallis?
その時に河外の總督タテナイといふ者セタルボズナイおよびその同僚とともにその所に來り誰が汝らに此室を建て此石垣を築きあぐることを命ぜしやと斯言ひ
4 To which thing we answeriden to hem, whiche weren the names of men, autours of that bildyng.
また此建物を建る人々の名は何といふやと斯これに問り
5 Forsothe the iye of God of hem was maad on the elde men of Jewis, and thei myyten not forbede the Jewis; and it pleside that the thing schulde be teld to Darius, and thanne thei schulden make satisfaccioun ayens that accusyng.
然るにユダヤ人の長老等の上にはその神の目そそぎゐたれば彼等これを止むること能はずして遂にその事をダリヨスに奏してその返答の來るを待り
6 This is the saumpler of the pistle, which Tathannai, duyk of the cuntrey biyende the flood, and Starbursannai, and hise counselouris, Arphasacei, that weren biyende the flood, senten to kyng Darius.
河外ふの總督タテナイおよびセタルボズナイとその同僚なる河外ふのアパルサカイ人がダリヨス王に上まつりし書の稿は左のごとし
7 The word which thei senten to hym was writun thus; Al pees be to the kyng Darius.
即ち其上まつりし書の中に書しるしたる所は是のごとし 云く願くはダリヨス王に大なる平安あれ
8 Be it knowun to the kyng, that we yeden to the prouince of Judee, to the hows of greet God, which is bildid with stoon vnpolischid, and trees ben set in the wallis, and thilke werk is bildid diligently, and encreessith in the hondis of hem.
王知りたまへ我儕ユダヤ州に往てかの大神の室に至り視しに巨石をもて之を建て材木を組て壁を作り居り其工事おほいに捗りてその手を下すところ成ざる無し
9 Therfor we axiden tho elde men, and thus we seiden to hem, Who yaf to you power to bilde this hows, and to restore these wallis?
是に於て我儕その長老等に問てこれに斯いへり 誰が汝らに此室を建てこの石垣を築きあぐることを命ぜしやと
10 But also we axiden of hem the names `of hem, that we schulden telle to thee; and we han write the names of men, whiche thei ben, that ben princes among hem.
我儕またその首長たる人々の名を書しるして汝に奏聞せんがためにその名を問り
11 Sotheli thei answeriden bi sich word, and seiden, We ben the seruauntis of God of heuene and of erthe; and we bilden the temple that was bildid bifor these many yeeris, and `which temple the greet kyng of Israel `hadde bildid, and maad.
時に彼等かく我らに答へて言り 我儕は天地の神の僕にして年久しき昔に建おかれし殿を再び建るなり 是は素イスラエルの大なる王 某の建築きたる者なしりが
12 But aftir that oure fadris stiryden God of heuene and of erthe to wrathfulnesse, bothe he bitook hem in the hond of Nabugodonosor, Caldey, kyng of Babiloyne; and he distriede this hows, and translatide the puple therof in to Babiloyne.
我らの父等天の神の震怒を惹起せしに縁てつひに之をカルデヤ人バビロンの王ネブカデネザルの手に付したまひければ彼この殿を毀ち民をバビロンに擄へゆけり
13 Forsothe in the firste yeer of Cirus, king of Babiloyne, Cirus, the king of Babiloyne, settide forth `a comaundement, that the hows of God schulde be bildid.
然るにバビロンの王クロスの元年にクロス王神のこの室を建べしとの詔言を下したまへり
14 For whi kyng Cirus brouyte forth `fro the temple of Babiloyne also the goldun and siluerne vessels of Goddis temple, whiche Nabugodonosor hadde take fro the temple, that was in Jerusalem, and hadde bore tho awei in to the temple of Babiloyne; and tho vessels weren youun to Sasabazar bi name, whom `he made also prince. And Cirus seide to hym, Take these vessels,
然のみならず ヱルサレムの殿よりネブカデネザルが取いだしてバビロンの殿に携へいれし神の室の金銀の器皿もクロス王これをバビロンの殿より取いだし其立たる總督セシバザルと名くる者に之を付し
15 and go, and sette tho in the temple, which is in Jerusalem; and the hows of God be bildid in `his place.
而して彼に言けらく是等の器皿を取り往て之をヱルサレムの殿に携へいれ神の室をその本の處に建よと
16 Therfor thanne thilke Sasabazar cam, and settide the foundementis of Goddis temple in Jerusalem; and fro that tyme `til to now it is bildid, and is not yit fillid.
是において其セシバザル來りてヱルサレムなる神の室の石礎を置たりき 其時よりして今に至るまで之を建つつありしが猶いまだ竣らざるなりと
17 Now therfor if it `semeth good to the king, rikene he in the biblet of the kyng, which is in Babiloyne, whether it be comaundid of kyng Cyrus, that Goddis hows schulde be bildid in Jerusalem; and sende he to vs the wille of the kyng `on this thing.
然ば今王もし善となされなば請ふ御膝下バビロンにある所の王の寳蔵を査べたまひて神のこの室を建べしとの詔言のクロス王より出しや否を稽へ而して王此事につきて御旨を我らに諭したまえ
