歴代誌Ⅱ 31

1 この事すべて終りしかば其處に在しイスラエル人みなユダの邑々に出ゆき柱像を碎きアシラ像を斫たふしユダとベニヤミンの全地より崇邱と祭壇を崩し絶ちエフライム、マナセにも及ぼして遂にまつたく之を毀ち而してイスラエルの子孫おのおのその邑々に還りて己の產業にいたれり

And when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and broke in pieces the statues, and cut down the groves, and pulled down the high-places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, and in Ephraim and Menasseh, until they had made an end of them all. Then returned all the children of Israel every man to his possession, to their own cities.

2 ヒゼキヤ祭司およびレビ人の班列を定めその班列にしたがひて各々にその職を行はしむ即ち祭司とレビ人をして燔祭および酬恩祭を献げしめヱホバの營の門において奉事をなし感謝をなし讃美をなさしめ

And Hezekiah stationed the divisions of the priests and the Levites after their divisions, every man according to his service, of the priests and the Levites, for burnt-offerings and for peace-offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camps of the Lord.

3 また己の財產の中より王の分を出して燔祭のためにす即ち朝夕の燔祭および安息日朔日節會などの燔祭のために之を出してヱホバの律法に記さるる如くす

The king also gave a portion from his own property for the burnt-offerings, [namely, ] for the morning and evening burnt-offerings, and the burnt-offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new-moons, and for the appointed feasts, as it is written in the law of the Lord.

4 彼またヱルサレムに住む民に祭司とレビ人にその分を與へんことを命ず是かれらをしてヱホバの律法に身を委ねしめんとてなり

Moreover he said to the people, to those who dwelt in Jerusalem, to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, in order that they might hold firmly to the law of the Lord.

5 其命令の傳はるや否やイスラエルの子孫穀物酒油蜜ならびに田野の諸の產物の初を多く献げまた一切の物の什一を夥多しく携へきたる

And when the matter was spread abroad, the children of Israel brought in abundance the first-fruits of corn, of the new wine, and of oil, and of honey, and of all the products of the field: and the tithe of all things did they bring [likewise] in abundance.

6 ユダの邑々に住るイスラエルとユダの子孫もまた牛羊の什一ならびにその神ヱホバに納むべき聖物の什一を携へきたりてこれを積疊ぬ

And as for the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were hallowed unto the Lord their God, and gave [them] by heaps.

7 三月に之を積疊ぬることを始め七月にいたりて之を終れり

In the third month did they begin to lay the foundation of the heaps, and in the seventh month did they finish them.

8 ヒゼキヤおよび牧伯等きたりて其積疊ねたる物を見ヱホバとその民イスラエルを祝せり

And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the Lord, and his people Israel.

9 ヒゼキヤその積疊ねたる物の事を祭司とレビ人に問尋ねければ

Then made Hezekiah inquiry of the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.

10 ザドクの家より出し祭司の長アザリヤ彼に應へて言けるは民ヱホバの室に禮物を携ふることを始めしより以來我儕飽までに食ひしがその餘れる所はなはだ多しヱホバその民をめぐみたまひたればなりその餘れる所かくのごとく夥多しと

Then spoke to him 'Azaryahu the chief priest of the house of Zadok, and said, Since it was begun to bring the heave-offerings into the house of the Lord, there hath been enough to eat, and to leave in great abundance; for the Lord hath blessed his people: and that which is left is this great mass.

11 ヒゼキヤ、ヱホバの家の内に室を設くることを命じければ則ちこれを設け

Then ordered Hezekiah to prepare chambers in the house of the Lord: and they prepared them.

12 忠實にその禮物什一および奉納物を携へいれりレビ人コナニヤこれを主どりその兄弟シメイこれに副ふ

And they brought in the heave-offerings, and the tithes, and the sanctified things, in faithfulness: and over them were appointed the ruler Conanyahu the Levite, and Shim'i his brother the second in rank.

13 ヱヒエル、アザジヤ、ナハテ、アサヘル、ヱレモテ、ヨザバデ、ヱリエル、イスマキヤ、マハテ、ベナヤ等ヒゼキヤ王および神の室の宰アザリヤの命に依りコナニヤ及びその兄弟シメイの手下につきてこれが監督者となる

And Jechiel, and 'Azazyahu, and Nachath, and 'Assahel, and Jerimoth. and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Yissmachyahu, and Machath, and Benayahu, were overseers under the supervision of Conanyahu and Shim'i his brother, by the appointment of king Hezekiah, and 'Azazyahu the ruler of the house of God.

14 東の門を守る者レビ人ヱムナの子コレ神に献ぐる誠意よりの禮物を司どりてヱホバの献納物および至聖物を頒つ

And Kore the son of Yimnah the Levite, the gatekeeper at the east side. was over the freewill-offerings of God, to give [to him] the heave-offerings of the Lord, and the most holy things.

15 その手につく者はエデン、ミニヤミン、ヱシユア、シマヤ、アマリヤおよびシカニヤみな祭司の邑々に居てその職を盡しその兄弟に班列に依て之を頒つ大小ともに均し

And under his supervision were 'Eden, and Minyamin, and Jeshua', and Shema-yahu, Amaryahu, and Shechanyahu, in the cities of the priests, in faithfulness, to give to their brethren after the divisions, equally to the great as to the small;

16 此外にまた凡て名簿に載たる男子三歳以上にしてヱホバの室に入りその班列にしたがひて日々の職分を盡し擔任の勤務を爲すところの者に之を頒つ

Besides [these] to those recorded by their genealogies of males, from three years old and upward, of all that entered into the house of the Lord, the daily portion on its day, for their service in their charges according to their divisions.

17 またその宗家にしたがひて名簿に載られその班列にしたがひて擔任の事を執行ふところの祭司および二十歳以上のレビ人

And likewise to the priests recorded by their genealogies after their family divisions, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their divisions;

18 ならびに名簿に載たるその小き者その妻その男子その女子などに盡く之を頒つ會中すべて然り即ち彼等は潔白忠實にその職を盡せり

And to those recorded by their genealogies of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, of all the assembly; for in their faithfulness they devoted themselves in the sanctuary.

19 また邑々の郊地に居るアロンの子孫たる祭司等のためには邑ごとに人を名指し選び祭司の中の一切の男およびレビ人の中の名簿に載せたる一切の者にその分を予へしむ

Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, who were in the fields of the open districts of their cities, in each and every city, there were men, expressed by name, who had to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were recorded by their genealogies among the Levites.

20 ヒゼキヤ、ユダ全國に斯のごとく爲し善事正き事忠實なる事をその神ヱホバの前に行へり

And the like did Hezekiah in all Judah, and he did what is good and right and true before the Lord his God.

21 凡てその神の室の職務につき律法につき誡命につきて行ひ始めてその神を求めし工は悉く心をつくして行ひてこれを成就たり

And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he acted with all his heart, and prospered.
