22 エリアシブ、ヨイアダ、ヨハナンおよびヤドアの日にレビ人の宗家の長等冊に録さる亦ペルシヤ王ダリヨスの治世に祭司等も然せらる

The Levites—in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded as ancestral chiefs, —also the priests, unto the reign of Darius the Persian.

23 宗家の長たるレビ人はエリアシブの子ヨハナンの日まで凡て歴代志の書に記さる

the sons of Levi, ancestral heads, were written in the book of Chronicles, —even until the days of Johanan, son of Eliashib.

24 レビ人の長はハシヤビヤ、セレビヤおよびカデミエルの子ヱシユアなりその兄弟等これと相對ひて居る即ち彼らは班列と班列とあひむかひ居り神の人ダビデの命令に本づきて讃美と感謝とをつとむ

And, the chiefs of the Levites, Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise—to give thanks, by the commandment of David the man of God, —ward joined to ward.

25 マツタニヤ、バクブキヤ、オバデヤ、メシユラム、タルモン、アツクブは門を守る者にして門の内の府庫を伺ひ守れり

Mattaniah and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were watchers, doorkeepers of the ward, in the storehouses of the gates.

26 是等はヨザダクの子ヱシユアの子ヨアキムの日に在り總督ネヘミヤおよび學士たる祭司エズラの日に在りし者なり

These, were in the days of Joiakim, son of Jeshua, son of Jozadak, —and in the days of Nehemiah the pasha, and Ezra the priest the scribe.

27 ヱルサレムの石垣の落成せし節會に當りてレビ人をその一切の處より招きてヱルサレムに來らせ感謝と歌と鐃鈸と瑟と琴とをもて歓喜を盡してその落成の節會を行はんとす

And, at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, they sought the Levites, out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, —to keep the dedication and the rejoicing, both with thanksgiving and with music, cymbals, harps, and with lyres.

28 是において謳歌ふ徒輩ヱルサレムの周圍の窪地およびネトパ人の村々より集り來り

So the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, —both out of the circuit round about Jerusalem, and out of the villages of the Netophathites;

29 またベテギルガルおよびゲバとアズマウテとの野より集り來れりこの謳歌者等はヱルサレムの周圍に己の村々を建たりき

also out of Beth-gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba, and Azmaveth, —for, villages, had the singers builded for themselves, round about Jerusalem.

30 茲に祭司およびレビ人身を潔めまた民および諸の門と石垣とを潔めければ

And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, —and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.

31 我すなはちユダの牧伯等をして石垣の上に上らしめ又二の大なる隊を作り設けて之に感謝の詞を唱へて並進ましむ即ちその一は糞の門を指て石垣の上を右に進めり

Then brought I up the rulers of Judah upon the wall, —and I appointed two large choirs, even to go in procession to the right, upon the wall, towards the dung-gate;

32 その後につきて進める者はホシヤヤおよびユダの牧伯の半

and after them went Hoshaiah, and half the rulers of Judah;

33 ならびにアザリヤ、エズラ、メシユラム

then Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam;

34 ユダ、ベニヤミン、シマヤ、ヱレミヤなりき

Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah;

35 又祭司の徒數人喇叭を吹て伴ふあり即ちヨナタンの子ゼカリヤ、ヨナタンはシマヤの子シマヤはマツタニヤの子マツタニヤはミカヤの子ミカヤはザツクルの子ザツクルはアサフの子なり

and, of the sons of the priests, with trumpets, Zechariah—son of Jonathan—son of Shemaiah—son of Mattaniah, son of Micaiah, son of Zaccur, son of Asaph;

36 またゼカリヤの兄弟シマヤ、アザリエル、ミラライ、ギラライ、マアイ、ネタンエル、ユダ、ハナニ等ありて神の人ダビデの樂器を執り學士エズラこれに先だつ

and his brethren—Shemaiah and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, and Judah, Hanani, with the instruments of music of David, the man of God, —with Ezra the scribe before them;

37 而して彼ら泉の門を經ただちに進みて石垣の上口に於てダビデの城の段階より登りダビデの家の上を過て東の方水の門に至れり

and, over they fountain gate and straight before them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, —above the house of David, even as far as the water-gate, eastward.

38 また今一隊の感謝する者は彼らに對ひて進み我は民の半とともにその後に從がへり而して皆石垣の上を行き爐戌樓の上を過て石垣の廣き處にいたり

And, the second choir, was going over against them, I, following it, —with the half of the people upon the wall, above the tower of the ovens, even as far as the broad wall;

39 エフライムの門の上を通り舊門を過ぎ魚の門およびハナニエルの戌樓とハンメアの戌樓を過て羊の門に至り牢の門に立どまれり

and above the gate of Ephraim, and upon the old gate, and upon the fish-gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even as far as the sheep-gate, —and they came to a stand, at the gate of the guard.

40 かくて二隊の感謝する者神の室にいりて立り我もそこにたち牧伯等の半われと偕にありき

So the two choirs, came to a stand, at the house of God, —and I, and half the deputies with me;

41 また祭司エリアキム、マアセヤ、ミニヤミン、ミカヤ、エリヨエナイ、ゼカリヤ、ハナニヤ等喇叭を執て居り

and, the priests—Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;

42 マアセヤ、シマヤ、エレアザル、ウジ、ヨナハン、マルキヤ、エラム、エゼル之と偕にあり謳歌ふ者聲高くうたへりヱズラヒヤはその監督なりき

and Maaseiah and Shemaiah and Eleazar and Uzzi and Jehohanan and Malchijah and Elam and Ezer, —and the musicians sounded, aloud with Jezrahiah who was over them.

43 斯してその日みな大なる犠牲を献げて喜悦を盡せり其は神かれらをして大に喜こび樂ませたまひたればなり婦女小兒までも喜悦り是をもてヱルサレムの喜悦の聲とほくまで聞えわたりぬ

And they sacrificed, on that day, great sacrifices, and rejoiced, for, God, had caused them to rejoice with great joy, moreover also, the women and children, rejoiced, —so that the rejoicing of Jerusalem was heard afar off.

44 その日府庫のすべての室を掌どるべき人々を撰びて擧祭の品初物および什一など律法に定むるところの祭司とレビ人との分を邑々の田圃に准ひて取あつめてすべての室にいるることを掌どらしむ是は祭司およびレビ人の立て奉ふるをユダ人喜こびたればなり

And there were set in charge, on that day, certain men, over the chambers for the treasures, for the heave-offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them, out of the fields of the cities, the portions appointed by the law, for the priests, and for the Levites, —for, the joy of Judah, was over the priests and over the Levites, who were remaining.

45 彼らは神の職守および潔齋の職守を勤む謳歌者および門を守る者も然り皆ダビデとその子ソロモンの命令に依る

So they kept the charge of their God, and the charge of the purification, and [so did] the singers and the doorkeepers, —according to the commandment of David and of Solomon his son.

46 在昔ダビデおよびアサフの日には謳歌者の長一人ありて神に讃美感謝をたてまつる事ありき

For, in the days of David and Asaph, of old, there were chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving, unto God.

47 またゼルバベルの日およびネヘミヤの日にはイスラエル人みな謳歌者と門を守る者に日々の分を與へまたレビ人に物を聖別て與へレビ人またこれを聖別てアロンの子孫に與ふ

Now, all Israel—in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, used to give the portions of the singers and the doorkeepers, the need of a day upon its day, —and they hallowed them unto the Levites, and, the Levites, hallowed them unto the sons of Aaron.
