< Ezra 6 >

1 Then Darius the king made a decree, and they sought in the house of the books of the treasuries placed there in Babylon,
是に於てダリヨス王詔言を出しバビロンにて寳物を蔵むる所の文庫に就て査べ稽しめしに
2 and there hath been found at Achmetha, in a palace that [is] in the province of Media, a roll, and a record thus written within it [is]:
メデア州の都城アクメタにて一の卷物を得たり その内に書しるせる記録は是のごとし
3 'In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king hath made a decree concerning the house of God in Jerusalem: the house let be builded in the place where they are sacrificing sacrifices, and its foundations strongly laid; its height sixty cubits, its breadth sixty cubits;
クロス王の元年にクロス王詔言を出せり云くヱルサレムなる神の室の事につきて諭す その犠牲を獻ぐる所なる殿を建てその石礎を堅く置ゑ其室の高を六十キユビトにし其濶を六十キユビトにし
4 three rows of rolled stones, and a row of new wood, and the outlay let be given out of the king's house.
巨石三行新木一行を以せよ 其費用は王の家より授くべし
5 'And also, the vessels of the house of God, of gold and silver, that Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, let be given back, and go to the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, [each] to its place, and put [them] down in the house of God.
またネブカデネザルがヱルサレムの殿より取いだしてバビロンに携へきたりし神の室の金銀の器皿は之を還してヱルサレムの殿に持ゆかしめ神の室に置てその故の所にあらしむべしと
6 'Now, Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, the Apharsachites, who [are] beyond the river, be ye far from hence;
然ば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汝等これに遠ざかるべし
7 let alone the work of this house of God, let the governor of the Jews, and the elders of the Jews, build this house of God on its place.
神のその室の工事を妨ぐる勿れ ユダヤ人の牧伯とユダヤ人の長老等に神のその家を故の處に建しめよ
8 'And by me is made a decree concerning that which ye do with the elders of these Jews to build this house of God, that of the riches of the king, that [are] of the tribute beyond the river, speedily let the outlay be given to these men, that they cease not;
我また詔言を出し其神の家を建ることにつきて汝らが此ユダヤ人の長老等に爲べきことを示す 王の財寳の中すなはち河外ふの租税の中より迅速に費用をその人々に與へよその工事を滯ほらしむる勿れ
9 and what they are needing — both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs for burnt-offerings to the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil according to the saying of the priests who [are] in Jerusalem — let be given to them day by day without fail,
又その需むる物即ち天の神にたてまつる燔祭の小牛牡羊および羔羊ならびに麥鹽酒油など凡てヱルサレムにをる祭司の定むる所に循ひて日々に怠慢なく彼等に與へ
10 that they be bringing near sweet savours to the God of heaven, and praying for the life of the king, and of his sons.
彼らをして馨しき香の犠牲を天の神に獻ぐることを得せしめ王とその子女の生命のために祈ることを得せしめよ
11 'And by me is made a decree, that any one who changeth this thing, let wood be pulled down from his house, and being raised up, let him be smitten on it, and his house let be made a dunghill for this.
かつ我詔言を出す誰にもせよ此言を易る者あらば其家の梁を抜きとり彼を擧て之に釘ん その家はまた之がために厠にせらるべし
12 And God, who caused His name to dwell there, doth cast down any king and people that putteth forth his hand to change, to destroy this house of God that [is] in Jerusalem; I Darius have made a decree; speedily let it be done.'
凡そ之を易へまたヱルサレムなるその神の室を毀たんとて手を出す王あるひは民は彼處にその名を留め給ふ神ねがはくはこれを倒したまへ 我ダリヨス詔言を出せり 迅速に之を行なへ
13 Then Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king hath sent, so they have done speedily;
ダリヨス王かく諭しければ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迅速に之を行なへり
14 and the elders of the Jews are building and prospering through the prophecy of Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah son of Iddo, and they have built and finished by the decree of the God of Israel, and by the decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
ユダヤ人の長老等すなはち之を建て預言者ハガイおよびイドの子ゼカリヤの預言に由て之を成就たり 彼等イスラエルの神の命に循ひクロス、ダリヨスおよびペルシヤ王アルタシヤスタの詔言に依て之を建竣ぬ
15 And this house hath gone out till the third day of the month Adar, that is [in] the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
ダリヨス王の治世の六年アダルの月の三日にこの室成り
16 And the sons of Israel have made, [and] the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the sons of the captivity, a dedication of this house of God with joy,
是に於てイスラエルの子孫祭司レビ人およびその餘の俘擄人よろこびて神のこの室の落成禮を行なへり
17 and have brought near for the dedication of this house of God, bullocks a hundred, rams two hundred, lambs four hundred; and young he-goats for a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve, according to the number of the tribes of Israel;
即ち神のこの室の落成禮において牡牛一百牡羊二百 羔羊四百を獻げまたイスラエルの支派の數にしたがひて牡山羊十二を獻げてイスラエル全體のために罪祭となし
18 and they have established the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, over the service of God that [is] in Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses.
祭司をその分別にしたがひて立て レビ人をその班列にしたがひて立て ヱルサレムに於て神に事へしむ 凡てモーセの書に書しるしたるが如し
19 And the sons of the captivity make the passover on the fourteenth of the first month,
斯て俘囚より歸り來りし人々正月の十四日に逾越節を行へり
20 for the priests and the Levites have been purified together — all of them [are] pure — and they slaughter the passover for all the sons of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
即ち祭司レビ人共に身を潔めて皆潔くなり一切俘囚より歸り來りし人々のため其兄弟たる祭司等のため又自己のために逾越の物を宰れり
21 And the sons of Israel, those returning from the captivity, and every one who is separated from the uncleanness of the nations of the land unto them, to seek to Jehovah, God of Israel, do eat,
擄はれゆきて歸り來しイスラエルの子孫および其國の異邦人の汚穢を棄て是等に附てイスラエルの神ヱホバを求むる者等すべて之を食ひ
22 and they make the feast of unleavened things seven days with joy, for Jehovah made them to rejoice, and turned round the heart of the king of Asshur unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
喜びて七日の間酵いれぬパンの節を行へり 是はヱホバかれらを喜ばせアッスリヤの王の心を彼らに向はせ彼をしてイスラエルの神にまします神の家の工事を助けさせたまひしが故なり
