< 歴代誌Ⅰ 15 >

1 ダビデはダビデの邑の中に自己のために家を建て又神の契約の櫃のために處を備へてこれがために幕屋を張り
David made himself houses in David’s city; and he prepared a place for God’s ark, and pitched a tent for it.
2 而してダビデ言けるは神の契約の櫃を舁べき者は只レビ人のみ其はヱホバ神の契約の櫃を舁しめまた己に永く事しめんとてレビ人を擇びたまひたればなりと
Then David said, “No one ought to carry God’s ark but the Levites. For the LORD has chosen them to carry God’s ark, and to minister to him forever.”
3 ダビデすなはちヱホバの契約の櫃をその之がために備へたる處に舁のぼらんとてイスラエルをことごとくエルサレムに召集めたり
David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the LORD’s ark to its place, which he had prepared for it.
4 ダビデまたアロンの子孫とレビ人を集めたり
David gathered together the sons of Aaron and the Levites:
5 即ちコハテの子孫の中よりはウリエルを長としてその兄弟百二十人
of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brothers one hundred twenty;
6 メラリの子孫の中よりはアサヤを長としてその兄弟二百二十人
of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred twenty;
7 ゲルシヨンの子孫の中よりはヨエルを長としてその兄弟百三十人
of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brothers one hundred thirty;
8 エリザバンの子孫の中よりはシマヤを長としてその兄弟二百人
of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and his brothers two hundred;
9 ヘブロンの子孫の中よりはエリエルを長としてその兄弟八十人
of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brothers eighty;
10 ウジエルの子孫の中よりはアミナダブを長としてその兄弟百十二人
of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brothers one hundred twelve.
11 ダビデ祭司ザドクとアビヤタルおよびレビ人ウリエル、アサヤ、ヨエル、シマヤ、エリエル、アミナダブを召し
David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites: for Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab,
12 これに言けるは汝らはレビ人の宗家の長たり汝らと汝らの兄弟共に身を潔めイスラエルの神ヱホバの契約の櫃を我が其の爲に備へたる處に舁のぼれよ
and said to them, “You are the heads of the fathers’ households of the Levites. Sanctify yourselves, both you and your brothers, that you may bring the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, up to the place that I have prepared for it.
13 前には之をかきしもの汝らにあらざりしに縁て我らの神ヱホバわれらを撃たまへり是は我らそのさだめにしたがひて之に求めざりしが故なりと
For because you didn’t carry it at first, the LORD our God broke out in anger against us, because we didn’t seek him according to the ordinance.”
14 是において祭司等とレビ人等イスラエルの神ヱホバの契約の櫃を舁のぼらんと身を潔め
So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.
15 レビの子孫たる人々すなはちモーセがヱホバの言にしたがひて命じたるごとく神の契約の櫃をその貫ける枉によりて肩に負り
The children of the Levites bore God’s ark on their shoulders with its poles, as Moses commanded according to the LORD’s word.
16 ダビデまたレビ人の長等に告げその兄弟等を選びて謳歌者となし瑟と琴と鐃鈸などの樂器をもちて打はやして歓喜の聲を擧しめよと言たれば
David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brothers as singers with instruments of music, stringed instruments, harps, and cymbals, sounding aloud and lifting up their voices with joy.
17 レビ人すなはちヨエルの子ヘマンとその兄弟ベレキヤの子アサフおよびメラリの子孫たる彼らの兄弟クシャヤの子エタンを選べり
So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brothers, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brothers, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;
18 また之に次るその兄弟等これと偕にあり即ちゼカリヤ、ベン、ヤジエル、セミラモテ、ヱイエル、ウンニ、エリアブ、ベナヤ、マアセヤ、マツタテヤ、エリペレホ、ミクネヤおよび門を守る者なるオベデエドムとヱイエル
and with them their brothers of the second rank: Zechariah, Ben, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, the doorkeepers.
19 謳歌者ヘマン、アサフおよびエタンは銅の鐃鈸をもて打はやす者となり
So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were given cymbals of bronze to sound aloud;
20 ゼカリヤ、アジエル、セミラモテ、ヱイエル、ウンニ、エリアブ、マアセヤ、ベナヤは瑟をもて細き音を出し
and Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with stringed instruments set to Alamoth;
21 マツタテヤ、エリペレテ、ミクネヤ、オベデエドム、ヱイエル、アザジヤは琴をもて太き音を出して拍子をとれり
and Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps tuned to the eight-stringed lyre, to lead.
22 ケナニヤはレビ人の長にして負舁事に通じをるによりて負舁事を指揮せり
Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the singing. He taught the singers, because he was skillful.
23 またベレキヤとエルカナは契約の櫃の門を守り
Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.
24 祭司シバニヤ、ヨシヤパテ、ネタネル、アマサイ、ゼカリヤ、ベナヤ、ヱリエゼル等は神の契約の櫃の前に進みて喇叭を吹きオベデエドムとヱヒアは契約の櫃の門を守れり
Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, blew the trumpets before God’s ark; and Obed-Edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.
25 斯ダビデとイスラエルの長老および千人の長等は往てオベデエドムの家よりヱホバの契約の櫃を歓び勇みて舁のぼれり
So David, the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands went to bring the ark of the LORD’s covenant up out of the house of Obed-Edom with joy.
26 神ヱホバの契約の櫃を舁ところのレビ人を助けたまひければ牡牛七匹牡羊七匹を献げたり
When God helped the Levites who bore the ark of the LORD’s covenant, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.
27 ダビデは細布の衣をまとへり又契約の櫃を舁ところの一切のレビ人と謳歌者および負舁事を主どれるケナニヤも然りダビデはまた白布のエポデを着居たり
David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who bore the ark, the singers, and Chenaniah the choir master with the singers; and David had an ephod of linen on him.
28 斯てイスラエルみな聲を擧げ角を吹ならし喇叭と鐃鈸と瑟と琴とをもて打はやしてヱホバの契約の櫃を舁のぼれり
Thus all Israel brought the ark of the LORD’s covenant up with shouting, with sound of the cornet, with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding aloud with stringed instruments and harps.
29 ヱホバの契約の櫃ダビデの邑にいりし時サウルの女ミカル窻より窺ひてダビデ王の舞躍るを見その心にこれを藐視めり
As the ark of the LORD’s covenant came to David’s city, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David dancing and playing; and she despised him in her heart.
