歴代誌Ⅱ 29

1 ヒゼキヤは二十五歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて二十九年の間世を治めたりその母はゼカリヤの女にして名をアビヤといふ

Hezekiah began to reigne, when he was fiue and twentie yeere olde, and reigned nine and twentie yeres in Ierusalem: and his mothers name was Abiiah the daughter of Zechariah.

2 ヒゼキヤはその父ダビデの凡てなしたる如くヱホバの目に善と視たまふ事をなせり

And hee did vprightly in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Dauid his father had done.

3 即ち彼その治世の第一年一月にヱホバの室の戸を開きかつ之を修繕ひ

He opened the doores of the house of the Lord in the first yeere, and in the first moneth of his reigne, and repared them.

4 祭司およびレビ人を携さへいりて東の廣場にこれを集め

And he brought in the Priests and the Leuites, and gathered them into the East streete,

5 而して之にいひけるはレビ人よ我に聽け汝等いま身を潔めて汝等の先祖の神ヱホバの室を潔め汚穢を聖所より除きされ

And said vnto them, Heare me, ye Leuites: sanctifie nowe your selues, and sanctifie the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and cary forth the filthinesse out of the Sanctuarie.

6 夫我らの先祖は罪を犯し我らの神ヱホバの目に惡しと見たまふことを行ひてヱホバを棄てヱホバの住所に面を背けて後をこれに向け

For our fathers haue trespassed, and done euill in the eyes of the Lord our God, and haue forsaken him, and turned away their faces from the Tabernacle of the Lord, and turned their backes.

7 また廊の戸を閉ぢ燈火を消し聖所にてイスラエルの神に香を焚ず燔祭を献けざりし

They haue also shut the doores of ye porch, and quenched the lampes, and haue neither burnt incense, nor offred burnt offrings in the Sanctuarie vnto the God of Israel.

8 是をもてヱホバの忿怒ユダとヱルサレムに臨みヱホバ彼等をして打ただよはされしめ詑異とならしめ胡盧とならしめたまへり汝らが目に覩るごとし

Wherfore the wrath of the Lord hath bin on Iudah and Ierusalem: and he hath made them a scattering, a desolation, and an hissing, as ye see with your eyes.

9 即ち我儕の父は劍に斃れ我らの男子女子及び妻等はこれがために俘擄となれり

For lo, our fathers are fallen by the sword, and our sonnes, and our daughters, and our wiues are in captiuitie for the same cause.

10 今我イスラエルの神ヱホバと契約を結ばんとする意志ありその烈しき怒我らを離るることあらん

Now I purpose to make a couenant with the Lord God of Israel, that he may turne away his fierce wrath from vs.

11 我子等よ今は怠たる勿れヱホバ汝らを擇びて己の前に立て事へしめ己に事ふる者となし香を焚く者となしたまひたればなりと

Now my sonnes, be not deceiued: for the Lord hath chosen you to stand before him, to serue him, and to be his ministers, and to burne incense.

12 是においてレビ人起り即ちコハテの子孫の中にてはアマサイの子マハテおよびアザリヤの子ヨエル、メラリの子孫の中にてはアブデの子キシおよびヱハレレルの子アザリヤ、ゲルシヨン人の中にてはジンマの子ヨアおよびヨアの子エデン

Then the Leuites arose, Mahath ye sonne of Amashai, and Ioel the sonne of Azariah of the sonnes of the Kohathites: and of the sonnes of Merari, Kish the sonne of Abdi, and Azariah the sonne of Iehalelel: and of the Gershonites, Ioah the sonne of Zimmah, and Eden the sonne of Ioah:

13 エリザパンの子孫の中にてはシムリおよびヱイエル、アサフの子孫の中にてはゼカリヤおよびマツタニヤ

And of the sonnes of Elizaphan, Shimri, and Iehiel: and of the sonnes of Asaph, Zechariah, and Mattaniah:

14 ヘマンの子孫の中にてはヱヒエルおよびシメイ、ヱドトンの子孫の中にてはシマヤおよびウジエル

And of the sonnes of Heman, Iehiel, and Shimei: and of the sonnes of Ieduthun, Shemaiah and Vzziel.

15 かれらその兄弟を集へて身を潔めヱホバの言に依りて王の傳へし命令にしたがひてヱホバの室を潔めんとて入きたり

And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselues and came according to the commandement of the King, and by the words of the Lord, for to clense the house of the Lord.

16 祭司等ヱホバの室の奧に入りてこれを潔めヱホバの殿にありし汚穢をことごとくヱホバの室の庭に携へいだせばレビ人それを受て外にいだしキデロン河に持いたる

And the Priests went into the inner partes of the house of the Lord, to clense it, and brought out all the vncleannesse that they founde in the Temple of the Lord, into the court of the house of the Lord: and the Leuites tooke it, to cary it out vnto the brooke Kidron.

17 彼ら正月の元日に潔むることを始めてその月の八日にヱホバの廊におよびまたヱホバの家を潔むるに八日を費し正月の十六日にいたりて之を終れり

They began the first day of the first moneth to sanctifie it, and the eight day of the moneth came they to the porche of the Lord: so they sanctified the house of the Lord in eight dayes, and in the sixeteenth day of the first moneth they made an ende.

18 かくて彼らヒゼキヤ王の處に入て言ふ我らヱホバの室をことごとく潔めまた燔祭の壇とその一切の器具および供前のパンの案とその一切の器皿とを潔めたり

Then they went in to Hezekiah ye King, and sayde, We haue clensed all the house of the Lord and the altar of burnt offring, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof:

19 またアハズ王がその治世に罪を犯して棄たりし一切の器皿をも整へてこれを潔めヱホバの壇の前にこれを据置りと

And all the vessels which King Ahaz had cast aside when he reigned, and transgressed, haue we prepared and sanctified: and beholde, they are before the altar of the Lord.

20 是においてヒゼキヤ王蚤に起いで邑の牧伯等をあつめてヱホバの家にのぼり往き

And Hezekiah the King rose early, and gathered the princes of the citie, and went vp to the house of the Lord.

21 牡牛七匹牡羊七匹羔羊七匹牡山羊七匹を牽きたらしめ國と聖所とユダのためにこれを罪祭となしアロンの子孫たる祭司等に命じてこれをヱホバの壇の上に献げしむ

And they brought seuen bullockes, and seuen rammes, and seuen lambes, and seuen hee goates, for a sinne offring for the kingdome, and for the sanctuarie, and for Iudah. And he commanded the Priests the sonnes of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the Lord.

22 即ち牡牛を宰れば祭司等その血を受て壇に灑ぎまた牡羊を宰ればその血を壇に灑ぎまた羔羊を宰ればその血を壇に灑げり

So they slewe the bullockes, and the Priests receiued the blood, and sprinkled it vpon the altar: they slew also the rammes and sprinkled the blood vpon the altar, and they slew the lambes, and they sprinkled the blood vpon the altar.

23 かくて人々罪祭の牡山羊を王と會衆の前に牽きたりければ彼らその上に手を按り

Then they brought the hee goates for the sinne offring before the King and the Congregation, and they layde their hands vpon them.

24 而して祭司これを宰りその血を罪祭として壇の上に献げてイスラエル全國のために贖罪をなせり是は王イスラエル全國の爲に燔祭および罪祭を献ぐることを命じたるに因る

And the Priests slewe them, and with the blood of them they clensed the altar to reconcile all Israel: for the King had commanded for all Israel the burnt offring and the sinne offring.

25 王レビ人をヱホバの室に置きダビデおよび王の先見者ガデと預言者ナタンの命令にしたがひて之に鐃鈸瑟および琴を執しむ是はヱホバがその預言者によりて命じたまひし所なり

He appointed also the Leuites in the house of the Lord with cymbales, with violes, and with harpes, according to the commandement of Dauid, and Gad the Kings Seer, and Nathan the Prophet: for the commandement was by the hande of the Lord, and by the hande of his Prophets.

26 是においてレビ人はダビデの樂器をとり祭司は喇叭をとりて立つ

And the Leuites stood with the instruments of Dauid, and the Priests with the trumpets.

27 時にヒゼキヤ燔祭を壇の上に献ぐることを命ぜり燔祭をささげ始むるときヱホバの歌をうたひ喇叭を吹きイスラエルの王ダビデの樂器をならしはじめたり

And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offring vpon the altar: and when the burnt offring began, the song of the Lord beganne with the trumpets, and the instruments of Dauid King of Israel.

28 しかして會衆みな禮拝をなし謳歌者歌をうたひ喇叭手喇叭を吹ならし燔祭の終るまで凡て斯ありしが

And al the Congregation worshipped, singing a song, and they blew the trumpets: all this continued vntill the burnt offring was finished.

29 献ぐる事の終るにおよびて王および之と偕に在る者皆身をかがめて禮拝をなせり

And when they had made an ende of offring, the King and all that were present with him, bowed themselues, and worshipped.

30 かくて又ヒゼキヤ王および牧伯等レビ人に命じダビデと先見者アサフの詞をもてヱホバを讃美せしむ彼等喜樂をもて讃美し首をさげて禮拝す

Then Hezekiah the King and the princes commanded the Leuites to prayse the Lord with the wordes of Dauid, and of Asaph the Seer. so they praysed with ioy, and they bowed themselues, and worshipped.

31 時にヒゼキヤこたへて言けるは汝らすでにヱホバに事へんために身を潔めたれば進みよりてヱホバの室に犠牲および感謝祭を携へきたれと會衆すなはち犠牲および感謝祭を携へきたる又志ある者はみな燔祭を携ふ

And Hezekiah spake, and sayde, Now ye haue consecrate your selues to the Lord: come neere and bring the sacrifices and offerings of prayse into the house of the Lord. And the Congregation brought sacrifices; and offrings of prayses, and euery man that was willing in heart, offred burnt offrings.

32 會衆の携へきたりし燔祭の數は牡牛七十牡羊一百羔羊二百是みなヱホバに燔祭として奉つる者なり

And the nomber of the burnt offrings, which the Congregation brought, was seuentie bullockes, an hundreth rammes, and two hundreth lambes: all these were for a burnt offring to the Lord:

33 また奉納物は牛六百羊三千なりき

And for sanctification sixe hundreth bullockes, and three thousand sheepe.

34 然るに祭司寡くしてその燔祭の物の皮を剥つくすこと能はざりければその兄弟たるレビ人これを助けてその工を終ふ斯る間に他の祭司等も身を潔むレビ人は祭司よりも心正しくして身を潔めたり

But the Priests were too few, and were not able to flay all the burnt offrings: therefore their brethren the Leuites did helpe them, til they had ended the worke, and vntill other Priests were sanctified: for the Leuites were more vpright in heart to sanctifie themselues, then the Priests.

35 燔祭夥多しくあり酬恩祭の脂及びすべての燔祭の酒も然り斯ヱホバの室の奉事備はれり

And also the burnt offerings were many with the fat of the peace offrings and the drinke offrings for the burnt offring. so the seruice of the house of the Lord was set in order.

36 この事俄なりしかども神かく民の爲に備をなしたまひしに因てヒゼキヤおよび一切の民喜べり

Then Hezekiah reioyced and all the people, that God had made the people so ready: for the thing was done suddenly.
