歴代誌Ⅱ 7
1 ソロモン祈ることを終し時天より火くだりて燔祭と犠牲とを焚きヱホバの榮光その家に充り
Now, when Solomon had made an end of praying, Fire, came down out of the heavens, and consumed the ascending-offering and the sacrifices, —and, the glory of Yahweh, filled the house;
2 ヱホバの榮光ヱホバの家に充しに因て祭司はヱホバの家に入ことを得ざりき
so that the priests could not enter into the house of Yahweh, —because the glory of Yahweh filled the house of Yahweh;
3 イスラエルの子孫は皆火の降れるを見またヱホバの榮光のその家にのぞめるを見て敷石の上にて地に俯伏て拝しヱホバを讃て云り善かなヱホバその恩惠は世々限なしと
and, all the sons of Israel, seeing the descending of the fire and the glory of Yahweh upon the house, then knelt they down with their faces toward the ground, upon the pavement, and bowed themselves in prostration, and gave thanks unto Yahweh, For he is good, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
4 斯て王および民みなヱホバの前に犠牲を献ぐ
And, the king and all the people, were offering sacrifice before Yahweh.
5 ソロモン王の献げたる犠牲は牛二萬二千羊十二萬斯王と民みな神の家を開けり
And King Solomon offered a sacrifice—of oxen, twenty-two thousand, and of sheep, a hundred and twenty thousand, —and so the king and all the people, dedicated the house of God;
6 祭司は立てその職をなしレビ人はヱホバの樂器を執て立つ其樂器はダビデ王彼らの手によりて讃美をなすに當り自ら作りてヱホバの恩惠は世々限なしと頌へしめし者なり祭司は彼らの前にありて喇叭を吹きイスラエルの人は皆立をる
while, the priests, over their charges, were standing, the Levites also, with the instruments for the songs of Yahweh, which David the king had made, for giving thanks unto Yahweh, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness, when David offered praise by their means, —and, the priests, kept on blowing trumpets over against them, while, all Israel, were standing.
7 ソロモンまたヱホバの家の前なる庭の中を聖め其處にて燔祭と酬恩祭の脂とを献げたり是はソロモンの造れる銅の壇その燔祭と素祭と脂とを受るに足ざりしが故なり
And Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Yahweh, for he offered there the ascending-sacrifices, and the fat portions of the peace-offerings, —because, the altar of bronze which Solomon had made, was not able to receive the ascending-sacrifice and the meal-offering and the fat portions.
8 その時ソロモン七日の間節筵をなしけるがイスラエル全國の人々すなはちハマテの入口よりエジプトの河までの人々あつまりて彼とともにあり其會はなはだ大なりき
And Solomon made a festival—at that time—for seven days, and all Israel with him, an exceeding great convocation, —from the entering in of Hamath, unto the ravine of Egypt.
9 かくて第八日に聖會を開けり彼らは七日のあひだ壇奉納の禮をおこなひまた七日のあひだ節筵を守りけるが
And they made, on the eighth day, a closing feast, —because, the dedication of the altar, they had kept seven days and a festival seven days.
10 七月の二十三日にいたりてソロモン民をその天幕に歸せり皆ヱホバがダビデ、ソロモンおよびその民イスラエルに施こしたまひし恩惠のために喜こび且心に樂しみて去り
And, on the twenty-third of the seventh month, he sent the people away to their own homes, —rejoicing and glad in heart, over the goodness which Yahweh had performed unto David and unto Solomon, and unto Israel his people.
11 ソロモン、ヱホバの家と王の家とを造了へヱホバの家と己の家とにつきて爲んと心に思ひし事を盡く成就たり
Thus Solomon finished the house of Yahweh, and the house of the king, —and, all that had come in upon the heart of Solomon, to do in the house of Yahweh and in his own house, he prosperously executed.
12 時にヱホバ夜ソロモンに顯れて之に言たまひけるは我すでに汝の祈祷を聽きまた此處をわがために選びて犠牲を献ぐる家となす
Then appeared Yahweh unto Solomon by night, —and said to him, I have heard thy prayer, and have made choice of this place for myself, as a house of sacrifice: —
13 我天を閉て雨なからしめ又は蟊賊に命じて地の物を食はしめ又は疫病を我民の中におくらんに
If I shut up the heavens that there be no rain, or if I lay command on the locust, to devour the land, —or if I send pestilence, amongst my people:
14 我名をもて稱らるる我民もし自ら卑くし祈りてわが面を求めその惡き道を離れなば我天より聽てその罪を赦しその地を醫さん
if my people upon whom my Name is called shall humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will, I myself, hear out of the heavens, and forgive their sin, and heal their land.
15 今より我この處の祈祷に目を啓き耳を傾むけん
Now, mine eyes, shall be open, and, mine ears, attent, —to the prayer of this place.
16 今我すでに此家を選びかつ聖別む我名は永く此にあるべしまた我目もわが心も恒に此にあるべし
Now, therefore, have I chosen and hallowed this house, that my Name may be there, unto times age-abiding, —and mine eyes and my heart shall he there, all the days.
17 汝もし汝の父ダビデの歩みしごとく我前に歩み我が汝に命じたるごとく凡て行ひてわが法度と律例を守らば
Thou, therefore, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, even to do according to all that I have commanded thee, —and, my statutes and regulations, thou wilt observe,
18 我は汝の父ダビデに契約してイスラエルを治むる人汝に缺ること無るべしと言しごとく汝の國の祚を堅うすべし
then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom, —according as I covenanted to David thy father, saying—There shall not fail thee a man, to rule over Israel.
19 然ど汝ら若ひるがへり我が汝らの前に置たる法度と誡命を棄て往て他の神々に事へかつ之を拝まば
But, if, ye yourselves, shall turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, —and shall go and serve other gods, and bow down to them,
20 我かれらを我が與へたる地より抜さるべし又我名のために我が聖別たる此家は我これを我前より投棄て萬國の中に諺語となり嘲笑とならしめん
then will I root you out from off the soil, which I have given to you, and, this house, which I have hallowed for my Name, will I cast off from before my face, —and will appoint it for a by-word and a mockery, among all the peoples;
21 且又この家は高くあれども終にはその傍を過る者は皆これに驚きて言んヱホバ何故に此地に此家に斯なしたるやと
and, this house which hath been renowned, all that pass by near it, shall be astonished, —and say, Wherefore hath Yahweh done, thus and thus, to this land, and to this house?
22 人これに答へて言ん彼ら己の先祖をエジプトの地より導き出ししその神ヱホバを棄て他の神々に附從がひ之を拝み之に事へしによりてなりヱホバ之がためにこの諸の災禍を彼らに降せりと
And men shall say, Because they forsook Yahweh the God of their fathers, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold of other gods, and bowed down to them, and served them, for this cause, hath he brought upon them, all this calamity.
