歴代誌Ⅱ 35

1 茲にヨシア、ヱルサレムにおいてヱホバに逾越節を行はんとし正月の十四日に逾越の物を宰らしめ

And Josiah kept, in Jerusalem, a passover unto Yahweh, —and they slaughtered the passover, on the fourteenth of the first month.

2 祭司をしてその職を執行はせ之を勵してヱホバの室の務をなさしめ

And he set the priests over their charges, —and encouraged them unto the service of the house of Yahweh;

3 またヱホバの聖者となりてイスラエルの人衆を誨ふるレビ人に言ふ汝らイスラエルの王ダビデの子ソロモンが建たる家に聖契約の匱を放け再び肩に擔ふこと有ざるべし然ば今汝らの神ヱホバおよびその民イスラエルに事ふべし

and said to the Levites who gave instruction to all Israel as to the things which were hallowed unto Yahweh, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon son of David king of Israel did build, it is not yours as a burden on the shoulder, —Now, serve ye Yahweh your God, and his people Israel;

4 汝らまたイスラエルの王ダビデの書およびその子ソロモンの書に本づきて父祖の家に循がひその班列に依て自ら準備をなし

and prepare yourselves by your ancestral houses, according to your courses, —by the writing of David king of Israel, and by what hath been written by Solomon his son;

5 汝らの兄弟なる民の人々の宗家の區分に循ひて聖所に立ち之にレビ人の宗族の分缺ること無らしむべし

and stand ye in the holy place, by the divisions of the ancestral house, for your brethren, the sons of the people, and the partitioning of an ancestral house, for the Levites.

6 汝ら逾越の物を宰り身を潔め汝らの兄弟のために準備をなしモーセが傳へしヱホバの言のごとく行ふべしと

So slaughter ye the passover, —and hallow yourselves, and prepare for your brethren, that they may do according to the word of Yahweh, by the hand of Moses.

7 ヨシアすなはち羔羊および羔山羊を民の人々に餽る其數三萬また牡牛三千を餽る是みな王の所有の中より出して其處に居る一切の人のために逾越の祭物となせるなり

And Josiah presented to the sons of the people—of flocks, young sheep and the young of the goats, the whole for the passover offerings, for all present, to the number of thirty thousand, and, of bullocks, three thousand, —these, out of the substance of the king.

8 その牧伯等も民と祭司とレビ人に誠意より與ふる所ありまた神の室の長等ヒルキヤ、ゼカリヤ、ヱヒエルも綿羊二千六百牛三百を祭司に與へて逾越の祭物と爲す

And, his rulers, willingly, to the people and to the priests and to the Levites, presented, —Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, chief rulers of the house of God, unto the priests, did give, for passover offerings, two thousand and six hundred, and, of bullocks, three hundred;

9 またレビ人の長たる人々すなはちコナニヤおよびその兄弟シマヤ、ネタンエル並にハシヤビヤ、ヱイエル、ヨザバデなども綿羊五千牛五百をレビ人に餽りて逾越の祭物となす

and, Conaniah, and Shemaiah and Nethanel his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, rulers of the Levites, presented to the Levites, for passover offerings, five thousand, and, of bullocks, five hundred.

10 是のごとく献祭の事備はりぬれば王の命にしたがひて祭司等はその擔任場に立ちレビ人はその班列に循がひ居り

Thus was the service prepared, —and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the commandment of the king.

11 やがて逾越の物を宰りければ祭司その血をこれが手より受て洒げりレビ人その皮を剥り

So they slaughtered the passover, and the priests dashed [the blood received] at their hand, and the Levites were flaying [the offerings].

12 かくて燔祭の物を移して民の人々の父祖の家の區分に付してヱホバに献げしむモーセの書に記されたるが如し其牛に行ふところも亦是のごとし

Then they removed the ascending-sacrifice, that they might give them—by the divisions of each ancestral house—unto the sons of the people, to offer unto Yahweh, as it is written in the Book of Moses, —and, in like manner, with the bullocks.

13 而して例規のごとくに逾越の物を火にて炙りその他の聖物を鍋釜鼎などに烹て一切の民の人々に奔配れり

And they cooked the passover with fire, according to the regulation, —but, the hallowed things, cooked they in cauldrons and in pots and in bowls, and then took quickly, unto all the sons of the people.

14 かくて後かれら自身のためと祭司等のために備ふ其はアロンの子孫たる祭司等は燔祭と脂を献げて夜に入たればなり是に因て斯レビ人自分のためとアロンの子孫たる祭司等のために備ふるなり

And, afterwards, prepared they for themselves and for the priests, because, the priests, the sons of Aaron, had been engaged in offering up the ascending-sacrifice and the fat pieces, until night, —the Levites, therefore prepared for themselves, and for the priests, the sons of Aaron.

15 アサフの子孫たる謳歌者等はダビデ、アサフ、ヘマンおよび王の先見者ヱドトンの命にしたがひてその擔任場に居り門を守る者等は門々に居てその職務を離るるに及ばざりき其はその兄弟たるレビ人これがために備へたればなり

the singers also, the sons of Asaph, were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the seer of the king, and, the doorkeepers, were at the several doors, —there was no need for them to remove from their service, for, their brethren the Levites, prepared for them.

16 斯のごとく其日ヱホバの献祭の事ことごとく備はりければヨシア王の命にしたがひて逾越節を行ひヱホバの壇に燔祭を献げたり

Thus was all the service of Yahweh prepared on that day; to keep the passover, and to offer up the ascending-sacrifice, upon the altar of Yahweh, —according to the commandment of King Josiah.

17 即ち其處に來れるイスラエルの子孫その時逾越節を行ひ七日の間酵いれぬパンの節を行へり

So the sons of Israel who were present kept the passover at that time, —and the festival of unleavened cakes, seven days.

18 預言者サムエルの日より以來イスラエルにて是のごとくに逾越節を行ひし事なし又イスラエルの諸王の中にはヨシアが祭司レビ人ならびに來りあつまれるユダとイスラエルの諸人およびヱルサレムの民とともに行ひし如き逾越節を行ひし者一人もあらず

And there had not been kept, a passover like it, in Israel, since the days of Samuel the prophet, —yea, none of the kings of Israel, had kept such a passover as was kept by Josiah and the priests and the Levites and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

19 この逾越節はヨシアの治世の十八年に行ひしなり

In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah, was kept this passover.

20 是のごとくヨシア殿をととのへし後エジプトの王ネコ、ユフラテの邊なるカルケミシを攻撃んとて上り來りけるにヨシアこれを禦がんとて出往り

After all this—when Josiah had prepared the house, Neco king of Egypt came up, -to fight against Carchemish, by Euphrates, and Josiah went forth against him.

21 是においてネコ使者をかれに遣はして言ふユダの王よ是あに汝の與る所ならんや今日は汝を攻んとには非ず我敵の家を攻んとするなり神われに命じて急がしむ神われとともにあり汝神に逆ふことを罷よ恐らくは彼なんぢを滅ぼしたまはんと

But he sent unto him messengers, saying—What have I to do with thee, O king of Judah? not against thee, [have I come] this day, but against the house wherewith I have war, and, God, hath given word to speed me, —cease thou from [provoking] God who is with me, lest he destroy thee.

22 然るにヨシア面を轉して去ことを肯はず却てこれと戰はんとて服装を變へ神の口より出しネコの言を聽いれずしてメギドンの谷に到りて戰ひけるが

Howbeit Josiah turned not his face from him, for, to fight against him, he had disguised himself, and he hearkened not unto the words of Neco, from the mouth of God, —so he came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.

23 射手の者等ヨシア王に射中たれば王その臣僕にむかひて我を扶け出せ我太痍を負ふと言り

And the archers shot at King Josiah, —and the king said unto his servants, Take me away, for I am sore wounded.

24 是においてその臣僕等かれをその車より扶けおろし其引せたる次の車に乗てヱルサレムにつれゆきけるが遂に死たればその先祖の墓にこれを葬りぬユダとヱルサレムみなヨシアのために哀しめり

So his servants took him away out of the war-chariot, and conveyed him in a second chariot which he had, and carried him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in the sepulchres of his fathers, —and, all Judah and Jerusalem, were mourning over Josiah.

25 時にヱレミヤ、ヨシアのために哀歌を作れり謳歌男謳歌女今日にいたるまでその哀歌の中にヨシアの事を述べイスラエルの中に之を例となせりその詞は哀歌の中に書さる

And Jeremiah chanted a dirge over Josiah, and all the singing men and singing women in their dirges have spoken concerning Josiah, until this day, and they appointed them by statute for Israel, —and, there they are, written among the dirges.

26 ヨシアのその餘の行爲そのヱホバの律法に録されたる所にしたがひて爲し徳行

But, the rest of the story of Josiah, and his lovingkindness, —according to that which is written in the law of Yahweh:

27 およびその始終の行爲などはイスラエルとユダの列王の書に記さる

even his story, first and last, there it is, written in the book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
