レビ記 23
1 主はまたモーセに言われた、
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 「イスラエルの人々に言いなさい、『あなたがたが、ふれ示して聖会とすべき主の定めの祭は次のとおりである。これらはわたしの定めの祭である。
“Tell the Israeli people about the festivals that I have chosen, the days when you all must gather together [to worship me].”
3 六日の間は仕事をしなければならない。第七日は全き休みの安息日であり、聖会である。どのような仕事もしてはならない。これはあなたがたのすべてのすまいにおいて守るべき主の安息日である。
“You may work for six days [each week], but on the seventh day you must not do any work. You must rest. It is a sacred/holy day when you must gather together [to worship me]. Wherever you live, you must rest on that day.”
4 その時々に、あなたがたが、ふれ示すべき主の定めの祭なる聖会は次のとおりである。
“There are festivals that I have established for you. Those will also be sacred/holy days when you must gather together [to worship me].
5 正月の十四日の夕は主の過越の祭である。
[The first festival is] (the Passover/when you remember that I spared your ancestors when I killed all the firstborn Egyptian sons). That festival will begin at twilight/dusk/sunset on the chosen day (each spring/in March or April each year), [and end on the following day].
6 またその月の十五日は主の種入れぬパンの祭である。あなたがたは七日の間は種入れぬパンを食べなければならない。
The next day, the Festival of Eating Bread That Has No Yeast will begin. That festival will continue for seven days. During that time, the bread that you eat must be made without yeast.
7 その初めの日に聖会を開かなければならない。どんな労働もしてはならない。
On the first day of that festival, you all must stop your regular work and you must gather together [to worship me].
8 あなたがたは七日の間、主に火祭をささげなければならない。第七日には、また聖会を開き、どのような労働もしてはならない』」。
On each of the seven days, you must present to me [several animals to be] an offering/sacrifice to be completely burned [on the altar]. On the seventh day, you all must again stop your regular work and gather to worship me.”
9 主はまたモーセに言われた、
Yahweh also told Moses/me
10 「イスラエルの人々に言いなさい、『わたしが与える地にはいって穀物を刈り入れるとき、あなたがたは穀物の初穂の束を、祭司のところへ携えてこなければならない。
to tell the Israeli people [about other festivals]. He said, “When you arrive in the land which I am giving to you, and you harvest your crops [for the first time] there, bring to the priest some of the first grain that you harvest.
11 彼はあなたがたの受け入れられるように、その束を主の前に揺り動かすであろう。すなわち、祭司は安息日の翌日に、これを揺り動かすであろう。
On the day after the [next] Sabbath/rest day, the priest will lift it up [high to dedicate it] to me, in order that I will accept it as your [gift].
12 またその束を揺り動かす日に、一歳の雄の小羊の全きものを燔祭として主にささげなければならない。
That same day, you must sacrifice to me a one-year-old male lamb that has no defects. You must burn it [on the altar].
13 その素祭には油を混ぜた麦粉十分の二エパを用い、これを主にささげて火祭とし、香ばしいかおりとしなければならない。またその灌祭には、ぶどう酒一ヒンの四分の一を用いなければならない。
You must also burn an offering of grain. That offering must consist of (three quarts/3.5 liters) of good flour mixed with [olive] oil. The smell [of those things burning] will be very pleasing to me. Along with that, you must also offer one quart/liter of wine, which will be a liquid offering.
14 あなたがたの神にこの供え物をささげるその日まで、あなたがたはパンも、焼麦も、新穀も食べてはならない。これはあなたがたのすべてのすまいにおいて、代々ながく守るべき定めである。
Do not eat any bread or any roasted grain or unroasted grain on that day until after you have brought those offerings to me, your God. You must always obey [LIT] those commands, wherever you live.”
15 また安息日の翌日、すなわち、揺祭の束をささげた日から満七週を数えなければならない。
“Seven weeks after the priest offers that grain to me,
16 すなわち、第七の安息日の翌日までに、五十日を数えて、新穀の素祭を主にささげなければならない。
on the next/50th day after he offers it, [each family] must bring to me an offering from the new crop of grain.
17 またあなたがたのすまいから、十分の二エパの麦粉に種を入れて焼いたパン二個を携えてきて揺祭としなければならない。これは初穂として主にささげるものである。
From your homes, bring two loaves of bread [to the priest]. He will lift them up [high to dedicate them] as an offering to me. Those loaves must be baked from three quarts/liters of good flour that has yeast mixed with it. That bread will be an offering to me from the first wheat that you harvest [each year].
18 あなたがたはまたパンのほかに、一歳の全き小羊七頭と、若き雄牛一頭と、雄羊二頭をささげなければならない。すなわち、これらをその素祭および灌祭とともに主にささげて燔祭としなければならない。これは火祭であって、主に香ばしいかおりとなるであろう。
Along with this bread, you must present to me seven one-year-old lambs with no defects, one young bull, and two rams. They must all be completely burned [on the altar]. All those offerings, with the grain offering and the wine offering, will be burned, and the smell [of all those things burning] will be very pleasing to me.
19 また雄やぎ一頭を罪祭としてささげ、一歳の小羊二頭を酬恩祭の犠牲としてささげなければならない。
Then you must also kill one male goat to be an offering/sacrifice for your sins, and two one-year-old male lambs to be an offering to enable you to maintain fellowship with me.
20 そして祭司はその初穂のパンと共に、この二頭の小羊を主の前に揺祭として揺り動かさなければならない。これらは主にささげる聖なる物であって、祭司に帰するであろう。
The priest will lift up these offerings [high to dedicate them] to me. He will also offer the loaves of bread that were baked from the first wheat that you harvest. Those offerings are sacred to me, but they are for the priests [to eat].
21 あなたがたは、その日にふれ示して、聖会を開かなければならない。どのような労働もしてはならない。これはあなたがたのすべてのすまいにおいて、代々ながく守るべき定めである。
On that day, you must stop your regular work and gather to worship me. You must always obey those instructions/commands, and you must obey them wherever you live.
22 あなたがたの地の穀物を刈り入れるときは、その刈入れにあたって、畑のすみずみまで刈りつくしてはならない。またあなたの穀物の落ち穂を拾ってはならない。貧しい者と寄留者のために、それを残しておかなければならない。わたしはあなたがたの神、主である』」。
“When you harvest the grain in your fields, do not harvest the grain along the edges of the fields, and do not pick up the grain that the harvesters drop. Leave that grain for the poor people and for the foreigners who are living among you. [Do not forget that it is] I, Yahweh your God, [who am commanding those things]!”
23 主はまたモーセに言われた、
Yahweh also told Moses/me
24 「イスラエルの人々に言いなさい、『七月一日をあなたがたの安息の日とし、ラッパを吹き鳴らして記念する聖会としなければならない。
to give these instructions/commands to the Israeli people: “[Each year] in September, on the day that I have chosen, you all must celebrate it by completely resting. You must not do any work on that day. When [the priests] blow their trumpets loudly, you all must gather together to worship me.
25 どのような労働もしてはならない。しかし、主に火祭をささげなければならない』」。
All of you must not do your regular work on that day. Instead, you must present offerings to me that will be burned [on the altar].”
26 主はまたモーセに言われた、
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
27 「特にその七月の十日は贖罪の日である。あなたがたは聖会を開き、身を悩まし、主に火祭をささげなければならない。
“You must celebrate a day [on which you request that I] forgive you for the sins that you have committed. That day will be nine days after the festival [when the priests blow] the trumpets. On that day you must (fast/abstain from eating food). You must gather together to worship me and present offerings to me that will be burned [on the altar].
28 その日には、どのような仕事もしてはならない。これはあなたがたのために、あなたがたの神、主の前にあがないをなすべき贖罪の日だからである。
You must not do any work on that day, because it is the day when the priests will offer sacrifices to me to (atone for/ask me to forgive) your sins.
29 すべてその日に身を悩まさない者は、民のうちから断たれるであろう。
You must expel from your group anyone who does not (fast/abstain from eating food) on that day.
30 またすべてその日にどのような仕事をしても、その人をわたしは民のうちから滅ぼし去るであろう。
I will get rid of anyone who does any kind of work on that day.
31 あなたがたはどのような仕事もしてはならない。これはあなたがたのすべてのすまいにおいて、代々ながく守るべき定めである。
You must not work at all! You must always obey those instructions/commands, and you must obey them wherever you live.
32 これはあなたがたの全き休みの安息日である。あなたがたは身を悩まさなければならない。またその月の九日の夕には、その夕から次の夕まで安息を守らなければならない」。
That day will be a day of complete rest for all of you, and on that day you must (fast/abstain from eating food) [to show that you are sorry for having sinned]. That day of rest and (fasting/abstaining from eating food) will begin on the evening before the day in which you ask me to forgive you for your sins, and it will end on the evening of the following day.”
33 主はまたモーセに言われた、
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
34 「イスラエルの人々に言いなさい、『その七月の十五日は仮庵の祭である。七日の間、主の前にそれを守らなければならない。
“Tell the Israeli people that [each year] they must also celebrate a festival of living in temporary shelters. That festival will begin five days after the day in which they request me to forgive them for their sins. It will last for seven days.
35 初めの日に聖会を開かなければならない。どのような労働もしてはならない。
On the first day of that festival, the people must gather together to worship me, and they must not do any regular work on that day.
36 また七日の間、主に火祭をささげなければならない。八日目には聖会を開き、主に火祭をささげなければならない。これは聖会の日であるから、どのような労働もしてはならない。
On each of the seven days of the festival, they must present to me an offering [of animals] that will be burned [on the altar]. On the next day, they must gather again to worship me and present to me another animal that will be burned [on the altar]. That also will be a sacred gathering, and they must not work on that day, either.
37 これらは主の定めの祭であって、あなたがたがふれ示して聖会とし、主に火祭すなわち、燔祭、素祭、犠牲および灌祭を、そのささぐべき日にささげなければならない。
“[To summarize], those are the festivals that I have appointed. Celebrate those sacred festivals by gathering together to present to me all the various offerings that will be burned [on the altar]—animals that will be burned completely, and offerings of grain, and offerings to enable the Israeli people to maintain fellowship with me, and offerings of wine. Each offering must be brought on the day that I have indicated.
38 このほかに主の安息日があり、またほかに、あなたがたのささげ物があり、またほかに、あなたがたのもろもろの誓願の供え物があり、またそのほかに、あなたがたのもろもろの自発の供え物がある。これらは皆あなたがたが主にささげるものである。
(Those festivals must be celebrated/You must celebrate those festivals) in addition to [worshiping on] the (Sabbath days/days of rest). And all those offerings must be given in addition to the offerings that people personally decide to give, and in addition to the offerings that people make to accompany the solemn promises that they have made, or offerings that people make (voluntarily/because they themselves want to).
39 あなたがたが、地の産物を集め終ったときは、七月の十五日から七日のあいだ、主の祭を守らなければならない。すなわち、初めの日にも安息をし、八日目にも安息をしなければならない。
“[Returning to my instructions about] the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters, you must celebrate this festival after you have harvested all the crops. On the first day and on the last day of that festival, you must rest completely.
40 初めの日に、美しい木の実と、なつめやしの枝と、茂った木の枝と、谷のはこやなぎの枝を取って、七日の間あなたがたの神、主の前に楽しまなければならない。
But on the first day, you are permitted to pick fruit from trees. Cut palm fronds/branches and other leafy branches from trees or from bushes that grow by the streams, [and make shelters/huts to live in for that week]. Then rejoice in my presence for those seven days.
41 あなたがたは年に七日の間、主にこの祭を守らなければならない。これはあなたがたの代々ながく守るべき定めであって、七月にこれを守らなければならない。
You must celebrate this festival for seven days every year. You must never stop obeying my commands/instructions for that festival. You must celebrate it in September.
42 あなたがたは七日の間、仮庵に住み、イスラエルで生れた者はみな仮庵に住まなければならない。
During the seven days of that festival, all of you people who have been Israelis your entire lives must live in shelters/huts.
43 これはわたしがイスラエルの人々をエジプトの国から導き出したとき、彼らを仮庵に住まわせた事を、あなたがたの代々の子孫に知らせるためである。わたしはあなたがたの神、主である』」。
That will remind your descendants that their ancestors lived in shelters [for many years] after I rescued them from Egypt. [Do not forget that] I, Yahweh your God, [am the one who is commanding this].”
44 モーセは主の定めの祭をイスラエルの人々に告げた。
So Moses/I gave to the Israeli people all those instructions concerning the festivals that Yahweh [wanted them to celebrate] each year.
