< レビ記 10 >

1 さてアロンの子ナダブとアビフとは、おのおのその香炉を取って火をこれに入れ、薫香をその上に盛って、異火を主の前にささげた。これは主の命令に反することであったので、
[Two of] Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, took the pans in which they burned incense. They put some burning coals in them and put incense on top of the coals, but this fire was not acceptable [to Yahweh] because it was not the kind that he had commanded them to burn.
2 主の前から火が出て彼らを焼き滅ぼし、彼らは主の前に死んだ。
So suddenly a fire from Yahweh appeared and burned them up [DOU] in the presence of Yahweh.
3 その時モーセはアロンに言った、「主は、こう仰せられた。すなわち『わたしは、わたしに近づく者のうちに、わたしの聖なることを示し、すべての民の前に栄光を現すであろう』」。アロンは黙していた。
Then Moses/I said to Aaron, “That is what Yahweh predicted. He said, ‘Those priests who come near to me, I will show them that they must (respect me/treat me as being holy); in the presence of all the people I am the one who must be honored.’” But Aaron said nothing.
4 モーセはアロンの叔父ウジエルの子ミシヤエルとエルザパンとを呼び寄せて彼らに言った、「近寄って、あなたがたの兄弟たちを聖所の前から、宿営の外に運び出しなさい」。
Then Moses/I summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, who were the sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Take [the corpses of] your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the Sacred Tent.”
5 彼らは近寄って、彼らをその服のまま宿営の外に運び出し、モーセの言ったようにした。
So they carried the corpses, which still had their special gowns on, outside the camp, [and buried them].
6 モーセはまたアロンおよびその子エレアザルとイタマルとに言った、「あなたがたは髪の毛を乱し、また衣服を裂いてはならない。あなたがたが死ぬことのないため、また主の怒りが、すべての会衆に及ぶことのないためである。ただし、あなたがたの兄弟イスラエルの全家は、主が火をもって焼き滅ぼしたもうたことを嘆いてもよい。
Then Moses/I said to Aaron and his [other two] sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “[You are sad because Nadab and Abihu died, but you must act like you always do]. Do not allow the hair on your [heads] to remain uncombed, and do not tear your clothes. But your relatives and all your fellow Israelis are allowed to mourn for those whom Yahweh destroyed by fire.
7 また、あなたがたは死ぬことのないように、会見の幕屋の入口から外へ出てはならない。あなたがたの上に主の注ぎ油があるからである」。彼らはモーセの言葉のとおりにした。
But you must not leave the entrance of the Sacred Tent [to join those who are mourning], because if you do that, you also will die, and Yahweh will punish [MTY] all the people of Israel. Do not forget that Yahweh has set you apart [MTY] to work for him here, [and he does not want you to become defiled by touching a corpse].” So they did what Moses/I told them to do.
8 主はアロンに言われた、
Then Yahweh said to Aaron,
9 「あなたも、あなたの子たちも会見の幕屋にはいる時には、死ぬことのないように、ぶどう酒と濃い酒を飲んではならない。これはあなたがたが代々永く守るべき定めとしなければならない。
“You and your [two] sons [who are still alive] must not drink wine or other fermented drinks before you enter the Sacred Tent; if you do that, you will die. That is a command that you and your descendants must obey forever.
10 これはあなたがたが聖なるものと俗なるもの、汚れたものと清いものとの区別をすることができるため、
You must do that in order to learn what things are holy and what things are (not holy/common), and [from the things that are not holy] you must learn what things are acceptable to me and what things are not.
11 また主がモーセによって語られたすべての定めを、イスラエルの人々に教えることができるためである」。
And you must teach to the Israeli people all the laws that I gave to the Israeli people by telling them to Moses.”
12 モーセはまたアロンおよびその残っている子エレアザルとイタマルとに言った、「あなたがたは主の火祭のうちから素祭の残りを取り、パン種を入れずに、これを祭壇のかたわらで食べなさい。これはいと聖なる物である。
Moses/I said to Aaron and his two sons who were still alive, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the offering made from grain that is left after a portion of it has been offered to Yahweh to be burned, and eat it alongside the altar. [It should not be eaten elsewhere], because it is very holy.
13 これは主の火祭のうちからあなたの受ける分、またあなたの子たちの受ける分であるから、あなたがたはこれを聖なる所で食べなければならない。わたしはこのように命じられたのである。
Eat it in a holy place; it is the share for you and your sons from the offerings that were burned; I have commanded that it be your share.
14 また揺り動かした胸とささげたももとは、あなたとあなたのむすこ、娘たちがこれを清い所で食べなければならない。これはイスラエルの人々の酬恩祭の犠牲の中からあなたの分、あなたの子たちの分として与えられるものだからである。
But you and your sons and daughters are permitted to eat the breast and the thigh that were lifted up in front of Yahweh. Eat them in any place that is (holy/acceptable to him). They have been given to you and your descendants as your share of the offerings to enable the Israelis to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh].
15 彼らはそのささげたももと揺り動かした胸とを、火祭の脂肪と共に携えてきて、これを主の前に揺り動かして揺祭としなければならない。これは主がお命じになったように、長く受くべき分としてあなたと、あなたの子たちとに帰するであろう」。
The thigh and the breast that were lifted up in front of Yahweh must be brought with the portions of fat to be burned, to be lifted up in his presence. They will be the regular share for you and your descendants, as Yahweh has commanded.”
16 さてモーセは罪祭のやぎを、ていねいに捜したが、見よ、それがすでに焼かれていたので、彼は残っているアロンの子エレアザルとイタマルとにむかい、怒って言った、
When Moses/I inquired about the goat that had been sacrificed to enable the people to be forgiven by Yahweh for the sins they had committed, he/I found out that it had been completely burned. So he/I was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar and asked them,
17 「あなたがたは、なぜ罪祭のものを聖なる所で食べなかったのか。これはいと聖なる物であって、あなたがたが会衆の罪を負って、彼らのために主の前にあがないをするため、あなたがたに賜わった物である。
“Why did you not eat near the Sacred Tent the meat of the offering for sin? It was very holy, and it was given to you to enable the Israeli people to no longer be guilty for their sins and to be forgiven for their sins.
18 見よ、その血は聖所の中に携え入れなかった。その肉はわたしが命じたように、あなたがたは必ずそれを聖なる所で食べるべきであった」。
Since its blood was not taken into the holy place inside the Sacred Tent, you should have eaten the [meat of] the goat near the Sacred Tent, as I commanded.”
19 アロンはモーセに言った、「見よ、きょう、彼らはその罪祭と燔祭とを主の前にささげたが、このような事がわたしに臨んだ。もしわたしが、きょう罪祭のものを食べたとしたら、主はこれを良しとせられたであろうか」。
Aaron replied to Moses/me, “Today the people brought to Yahweh their offering to be forgiven for the sins they had committed, and the offering to be completely burned, [and surely that pleased Yahweh], but [think about the terrible thing] that happened to my other two sons! Would [RHQ] Yahweh have been pleased if I had eaten some of the offering to cause the people to become acceptable to God?”
20 モーセはこれを聞いて良しとした。
When Moses/I heard that, he/I was satisfied.
