エゼキエル書 45
1 あなたがたは、くじを引き、地を分けて、それを所有するときには、地の一部を聖なる地所として主にささげよ。その長さは二万五千キュビト、幅は二万キュビトで、その区域はすべて聖なる地である。
“‘When the land of Israel is divided [among the twelve tribes], you must present to me, Yahweh, one part of the land to be a sacred district. It will be (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (6.7 miles/10.6 km.) wide. That entire area will be (holy/set apart for me).
2 そのうち聖所に属するものは縦横五百キュビトずつであって、それは四角である。また五十キュビトの空地をその周囲につくれ。
Part of that area, (875 feet/265 meters) on each side, will be for the temple area. An additional strip of ground, (87-1/2 feet/26.5 meters) wide, will be left empty all around the temple area.
3 あなたはこの聖なる地所から長さ二万五千キュビト、幅一万キュビトを測り取り、その中に聖所と至聖所とを設けよ。
Inside that sacred district, measure a section (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (3.5 miles/5.3 km.) wide.
4 これは国の中で聖なる所であって、主に近く仕える聖所の仕え人である祭司に帰属する。これは彼らのためには家を建てる所、聖所のためには聖地となる。
That section will be the sacred portion of the land for the priests who work in the temple and who come near to me to serve me. It will be a place for their houses as well as being a holy place for the temple.
5 また長さ二万五千キュビト、幅一万キュビトの別の地所は、宮に仕えるレビびとに帰属し、彼らの住む町のための所有とする。
An area (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (3.5 miles/5.3 km.) wide will be for the descendants of Levi who work in the temple. That area will belong to them, and they will be permitted to build cities there to live in.
6 聖地として区別した部分に沿い、幅五千キュビト、長さ二万五千キュビトは、町の所有とせよ。これはイスラエル全家のものとなる。
Alongside that sacred area will be a section of land that is (8.3 miles/13.3 km.) long and (1.7 miles/2.65 km.) wide. It will be for a city where anyone in Israel [MTY] will be permitted to live.
7 また君たる者の分は、かの聖地と町の所有地との、こなたかなたにある。すなわち聖地と町の所有地に沿い、西と東に向かい、部族の分の一つに応じて、地所の西から東の境に至り、
The king will have two sections of land; one will be on the western side of the sacred district and other will be on the eastern side of the sacred district. The one on the western side will extend west to the Mediterranean Sea. The one on the eastern side will extend east to the eastern end of the country. The eastern and western borders of the king’s land will be next to the areas allotted to the tribes.
8 その所有の地所はイスラエルの中にある。わたしの君たちは、重ねてわたしの民をしえたげず、部族にしたがってイスラエルの家に土地を与える。
That land will be the land in Israel that belongs to the king. So, [because the kings will have their own land], they will no longer need to oppress my people and steal [land] from them. They will assign the remaining parts of the land to the people, giving a part to each tribe.
9 主なる神は、こう言われる、イスラエルの君たちよ、暴虐と略奪とをやめ、公道と正義を行え。わが民を追いたてることをやめよと、主なる神は言われる。
This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: You kings of Israel must stop acting violently and oppressing the people! You must do what is fair and right [DOU]. Stop taking land from the people!
10 あなたがたは正しいはかり、正しいエパ、正しいバテを用いよ。
And you must use accurate scales, and accurate containers for measuring things.
11 エパとバテとは同量にせよ。すなわちバテをホメルの十分の一とし、エパもホメルの十分の一とし、すべてホメルによって量を定めよ。
The baskets for measuring dry things and containers for measuring liquids must be the same size; each must hold 175 quarts/liters.
12 一シケルは二十ゲラである。五シケルは五シケル、十シケルは十シケルとせよ。一ミナは五十シケルとせよ。
When you weigh things, you must use weights that everyone accepts as being correct [MTY].’”
13 あなたがたがささげるささげ物はこれである。すなわち、一ホメルの小麦のうちから六分の一エパをささげ、大麦一ホメルのうちから六分の一エパをささげよ。
“‘You must present to the king one bushel of wheat or barley for every 60 that you harvest.
14 油は一コルのうちから十分の一バテをささげよ。コルはホメルと同じく十バテに当る。
And you must give him one quart/liter of olive oil for every 100 quarts/liters that you make.
15 またイスラエルの氏族から、家畜の群れ二百につき一頭の羊を出して、素祭、燔祭、酬恩祭とし、彼らのために、あがないをなせと主なる神は言われる。
Also, I, Yahweh, declare that you must take one sheep from each 200 sheep in your flocks in the pastures of Israel. Those things that you take to the king will be used with the offerings of things made from grain and for the offerings that will be completely burned and the offerings to maintain fellowship with me, offerings in order for me to forgive you for the sins that you have committed.
16 国の民は皆これをイスラエルの君にささげ物とせよ。
All the Israeli people must join in bringing those offerings to the king of Israel.
17 また祭日、ついたち、安息日、すなわちイスラエルの家のすべての祝い日に、燔祭、素祭、灌祭を供えるのは、君たる者の務である。すなわち彼はイスラエルの家のあがないのために、罪祭、素祭、燔祭、酬恩祭をささげなければならない。
The king must provide the animals to be completely burned on the altar, grain for the grain offerings, and wine for the wine offerings for the sacred festivals that I have appointed for the people of Israel—including the festivals to celebrate each new moon and the Sabbaths. He must provide [the animals for] the offerings for the people to become acceptable to me, grain for the grain offerings, animals to be completely burned [on the altar], and offerings to maintain fellowship with me, Yahweh, in order that I will forgive the Israeli people for their sins.
18 主なる神は、こう言われる、正月の元日に、あなたは無傷の雄牛の子を取って聖所を清めよ。
This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: On the first day of the first month [of each year] you must take one young bull that has no defects and [sacrifice it to] cause the temple to be acceptable to me.
19 祭司は罪祭の獣の血を取って、宮の柱と祭壇のかさねの四すみ、および内庭の門の柱に塗れ。
The [Supreme] Priest must take some of the blood of the offering to cause people to become acceptable to me, and smear it on the doorposts of the temple, on the four corners of the upper ledge of the altar, and on the entry posts of the inner courtyard.
20 月の七日に、あなたがたは、過失や無知のために罪を犯した者のために、このように行って宮のためにあがないをなせ。
He must do the same thing on the seventh day of the month for any people who sin without intending to sin or without realizing that what they did is sinful. By doing that you will purify the temple.
21 正月の十四日に、あなたがたは過越の祭を祝え。七日の間、種を入れぬパンを食べよ。
In the first month of each year, on the 14th day of the month, you must start to celebrate the Passover Festival. The festival will last for seven days. During that time you must not eat bread made with yeast.
22 その日に君たる者は、自身のため、また国のすべての民のため、雄牛をささげて罪祭とし、
On the first day, the king must provide a bull to be an offering for himself and for the all the other people of the country.
23 祝い日である七日の間は、七頭の雄牛と、七頭の雄羊の無傷のものを、七日の間毎日、燔祭として主に供えよ。また、雄やぎを罪祭として日々ささげよ。
And every day during those seven days he must provide seven young bulls and seven rams that have no defects, to be an offering for the people’s sins.
24 また素祭として麦粉一エパを各雄牛のため、一エパを各雄羊のためにととのえ、油一ヒンを各エパに加えよ。
He must also provide a half bushel of grain to be an offering, and also four quarts of olive oil, for each bill and ram.
25 七月十五日の祝い日に、彼は七日の間、罪祭、燔祭、素祭および油を、このように供えなければならない。
During the seven days of the festival [of Living in Temporary Shelters], which starts on the fifteenth day of the seventh month of each year, the king must provide the same things for offerings for the people’s sins, for offerings to be completely burned, for grain offerings, and the same amount of olive oil that he provided each day [during the Passover Festival].’”
