2 Chronicles 30
1 And Hezekiah sendeth unto all Israel and Judah, and also letters he hath written unto Ephraim and Manasseh, to come in to the house of Jehovah in Jerusalem, to make a passover to Jehovah, God of Israel.
茲にヒゼキヤ、イスラエルとユダに遍ねく人を遣しまた書をエフライムとマナセに書おくりヱルサレムなるヱホバの室に來りてイスラエルの神ヱホバに逾越節を行はんことを勸む
2 And the king taketh counsel, and his heads, and all the assembly in Jerusalem, to make the passover in the second month,
王すでにその牧伯等およびヱルサレムにある會衆と議り二月をもて逾越節を行はんと定めたり
3 for they have not been able to make it at that time, for the priests have not sanctified themselves sufficiently, and the people have not been gathered to Jerusalem.
其は祭司の身を潔めし者足ず民またヱルサレムに集らざりしに因て彼時にこれを行ふことを得ざればなり
4 And the thing is right in the eyes of the king, and in the eyes of all the assembly,
王も會衆もこの事を見て善となし
5 and they establish the thing, to cause to pass over an intimation into all Israel, from Beer-Sheba even unto Dan, to come in to make a passover to Jehovah, God of Israel, in Jerusalem, for not for a long time had they done as it is written.
即ちこの事を定めてベエルシバよりダンまでイスラエルに遍ねく宣布しめしヱルサレムに來りてイスラエルの神ヱホバに逾越節を行はんことを勸む是はその録されたるごとくにこれを行ふ事久しく無りしが故なり
6 And the runners go with letters from the hand of the king and his heads, into all Israel and Judah, even according to the command of the king, saying, 'O sons of Israel, turn back unto Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and He doth turn back unto the escaped part that is left of you from the hand of the kings of Asshur;
飛脚すなはち王とその牧伯等が授けし書をもちてイスラエルとユダを遍ねく行めぐり王の命を傳へて云ふイスラエルの子孫よ汝らアブラハム、イサク、イスラエルの神ヱホバに起歸れ然ばヱホバ、アツスリヤの王等の手より逃れて遺るところの汝らに歸りたまはん
7 and do not be like your fathers, and like your brethren, who trespassed against Jehovah, God of their fathers, and He giveth them to desolation, as ye do see.
汝らの父および兄弟の如くならざれ彼らその先祖の神ヱホバにむかひて罪を犯したればこれを滅亡に就しめたまへり汝らが見るごとし
8 'Now, harden not your neck like your fathers, give a hand to Jehovah, and come in to His sanctuary, that He hath sanctified to the age, and serve Jehovah your God, and the fierceness of His anger doth turn back from you;
然ば汝らの父のごとく汝ら項を強くせずしてヱホバに歸服しその永久に聖別たまひし聖所に入り汝らの神ヱホバに事へよ然ればその烈しき怒なんぢらを離れん
9 for in your turning back unto Jehovah, your brethren and your sons have mercies before their captors, even to return to this land, for gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah your God, and He doth not turn aside the face from you, if ye turn back unto Him.'
汝ら若ヱホバに歸らば汝らの兄弟および子女その己を擄へゆきし者の前に衿憫を得て遂にまた此國にかへらん汝らの神ヱホバは恩惠あり憐憫ある者にましませば汝らこれに起かへるにおいては面を汝らに背けたまはじと
10 And the runners are passing over from city to city, in the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, even unto Zebulun: and they are laughing at them, and mocking at them,
かくのごとく飛脚エフライム、マナセの國にいりて邑より邑に行めぐりて遂にゼブルンまで至りしが人衆これを嘲り笑へり
11 only, certain from Asher, and Manasseh, and from Zebulun, have been humbled, and come in to Jerusalem.
但しアセル、マナセおよびゼブルンの中より身を卑くしてヱルサレムに來りし者もあり
12 Also, in Judah hath the hand of God been to give to them one heart to do the command of the king and of the heads, in the matter of Jehovah;
またユダに於ては神その力をいだして人々に心を一にせしめ王と牧伯等がヱホバの言に依て傳へし命令を之に行はしむ
13 and much people are gathered to Jerusalem, to make the feast of unleavened things in the second month — a mighty assembly for multitude.
斯りしかば二月にいたりて民酵いれぬバンの節をおこなはんとて多くヱルサレムに來り集れりその會はなはだ大なりき
14 And they arise and turn aside the altars that [are] in Jerusalem, and all the perfume altars they have turned aside, and cast [them] to the brook Kidron;
彼等すなはち起てヱルサレムにある諸の壇を取のぞきまた一切の香壇を取のぞきてこれをキデロン川に投すて
15 and they slaughter the passover-offering on the fourteenth of the second month, and the priests and the Levites have been ashamed, and sanctify themselves, and bring in burnt-offerings to the house of Jehovah.
二月の十四日に逾越の物を宰れり是において祭司等およびレビ人は自ら恥ぢ身を潔めてヱホバの室に燧祭を携へきたり
16 And they stand on their station according to their ordinance; according to the law of Moses the man of God the priests are sprinkling the blood out of the hand of the Levites,
神の人モーセの律法に循ひ例に依て各々その所に立ち而して祭司等レビ人の手より血を受て灑げり
17 for many [are] in the assembly who have not sanctified themselves, and the Levites [are] over the slaughtering of the passover-offerings for every one not clean, to sanctify [him] to Jehovah:
時に會衆の中に未だ身を潔めざる者多かりければレビ人その潔からざる一切の人々に代りて逾越の物を宰りてヱホバに潔め献ぐ
18 for a multitude of the people, many from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, have not been cleansed, but have eaten the passover otherwise than it is written; but Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, 'Jehovah, who [is] good, doth receive atonement for every one
また衆多の民すたはちエフライム、マナセ、イツサカル、ゼブルンより來りし衆多の者未だ身を潔むる事をせずその書録されし所に違ひて逾越の物を食へり是をもてヒゼキヤこれがために祈りて云ふ
19 who hath prepared his heart to seek God — Jehovah, God of his fathers — yet not according to the cleansing of the sanctuary;'
惠ふかきヱホバよ凡そその心を傾けて神を求めその先祖の神ヱホバを求むる者は假令聖所の潔斎に循はざるとも願くは是を赦したまへと
20 and Jehovah hearkeneth unto Hezekiah, and healeth the people.
ヱホバ、ヒゼキヤに聽て民を醫したまへり
21 And the sons of Israel, those found in Jerusalem, make the feast of unleavened things seven days with great joy; and giving praise to Jehovah day by day are the Levites and the priests, with instruments of praise before Jehovah.
ヱルサレムにきたれるイスラエルの子孫は大なる喜悦をいだきて七日の間酵いれぬパンの節をおこなへり又レビ人と祭司は日々にヱホバを讃美し高聲の樂を奏してヱホバを頌へたり
22 And Hezekiah speaketh unto the heart of all the Levites, those giving good understanding concerning Jehovah, and they eat the appointed thing seven days; sacrificing sacrifices of peace-offerings, and making confession to Jehovah, God of their fathers.
ヒゼキヤ、ヱホバの奉事に善通じをる一切のレビ人を深く勞らふ斯人衆酬恩祭を献げその先祖の神ヱホバに感謝して七日のあひだ節の物を食へり
23 And all the assembly take counsel to keep other seven days, and they keep seven days [with] joy;
かくて又全會あひ議りて更に七日を守らんと決め喜悦をいだきてまた七日を守れり
24 for Hezekiah king of Judah hath presented to the assembly a thousand bullocks, and seven thousand sheep; and the heads have presented to the assembly bullocks a thousand, and sheep ten thousand; and priests sanctify themselves in abundance.
時にユダの王ヒゼキヤは牡牛一千羊七千を會衆に餽り又牧伯等は牡牛一千羊一萬を會衆に餽れり祭司もまた衆く身を潔めたり
25 And all the assembly of Judah rejoice, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the assembly, those coming in from Israel, and the sojourners, those coming in from the land of Israel, and those dwelling in Judah,
ユダの全會衆および祭司レビ人ならびにイスラエルより來れる全會衆およびイスラエルの地より來れる異邦人とユダに住む異邦人みな喜べり
26 and there is great joy in Jerusalem; for from the days of Solomon son of David king of Israel there is not like this in Jerusalem,
かくヱルサレムに大なる喜悦ありきイスラエルの王ダビデの子ソロモンの時より以來かくのごとき事ヱルサレムに在ざりしなり
27 and the priests, the Levites, rise and bless the people, and their voice is heard, and their prayer cometh in to His holy habitation, to the heavens.
この時祭司レビ人起て民を祝しけるにその言聽れその祈祷ヱホバの聖き住所なる天に達せり
