| 23-1 |
And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him. |
第七年になって、エホヤダは勇気をだしてエロハムの子アザリヤ、ヨハナンの子イシマエル、オベデの子アザリヤ、アダヤの子マアセヤ、ジクリの子エリシャパテなどの百人の長たちを招いて契約を結ばせた。 |
| 23-2 |
And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the heads of fathers’ houses of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem. |
そこで彼らはユダを行きめぐって、ユダのすべての町からレビびとを集め、またイスラエルの氏族の長たちを集めて、エルサレムに来た。 |
| 23-3 |
And all the assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king’s son shall reign, as Jehovah hath spoken concerning the sons of David. |
そしてその会衆は皆神の宮で王と契約を結んだ。その時エホヤダは彼らに言った、「主がダビデの子孫のことについて言われたように、王の子が位につくべきです。 |
| 23-4 |
This is the thing that ye shall do: a third part of you, that come in on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the thresholds; |
あなたがたのなすべき事はこれです。すなわちあなたがた祭司およびレビびとの安息日にはいって来る者の、三分の一は門を守る者となり、 |
| 23-5 |
and a third part shall be at the king’s house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of Jehovah. |
三分の一は王の家におり、三分の一は礎の門におり、民は皆、主の宮の庭にいなさい。 |
| 23-6 |
But let none come into the house of Jehovah, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall come in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the charge of Jehovah. |
祭司と、勤めをするレビびとのほかは、だれも主の宮に、はいってはならない。彼らは聖なる者であるから、はいることができる。民は皆、主の命令を守らなければならない。 |
| 23-7 |
And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever cometh into the house, let him be slain: and be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out. |
レビびとはめいめい手に武器をとって王のまわりに立たなければならない。宮にはいる者をすべて殺しなさい。あなたがたは王がはいる時にも出る時にも、王と共にいなさい」。 |
| 23-8 |
So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men, those that were to come in on the sabbath; with those that were to go out on the sabbath; for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses. |
そこでレビびとおよびユダの人々は、祭司エホヤダがすべて命じたように行い、めいめいその組の者で、安息日にはいって来るべき者と、安息日に出て行くべき者を率いていた。祭司エホヤダが組の者を去らせなかったからである。 |
| 23-9 |
And Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds the spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David’s, which were in the house of God. |
また祭司エホヤダは、神の宮にあるダビデ王のやりおよび大盾、小盾を百人の長たちに渡し、 |
| 23-10 |
And he set all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, by the king round about. |
また王を守るために、すべての民にめいめい手に武器をとらせ、宮の南側から北側にわたって、祭壇と宮に沿って立たせた。 |
| 23-11 |
Then they brought out the king’s son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony, and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons anointed him; and they said, Long live the king. |
こうして王の子を連れ出して、これに冠をいただかせ、あかしの書を渡して王となし、エホヤダおよびその子たちが彼に油を注いだ。そして「王万歳」と言った。 |
| 23-12 |
And when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of Jehovah: |
アタリヤは民の走りながら王をほめる声を聞いたので、主の宮に入り、民の所へ行って、 |
| 23-13 |
and she looked, and, behold, the king stood by his pillar at the entrance, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets; the singers also played on instruments of music, and led the singing of praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason! treason! |
見ると、王は入口で柱のかたわらに立ち、王のかたわらには将軍たちとラッパ手が立っており、また国の民は皆喜んでラッパを吹き、歌をうたう者は楽器をもってさんびしていたので、アタリヤは衣を裂いて「反逆だ、反逆だ」と叫んだ。 |
| 23-14 |
And Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth between the ranks; and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword: for the priest said, Slay her not in the house of Jehovah. |
その時エホヤダは軍勢を統率する百人の長たちを呼び出し、「列の間から彼女を連れ出せ、彼女に従う者をつるぎで殺せ」と言った。祭司が彼女を主の宮で殺してはならないと言ったからである。 |
| 23-15 |
So they made way for her; and she went to the entrance of the horse gate to the king’s house: and they slew her there. |
そこで人々は彼女に手をかけ、王の家の馬の門の入口まで連れて行き、その所で彼女を殺した。 |
| 23-16 |
And Jehoiada made a covenant between himself, and all the people, and the king, that they should be Jehovah’s people. |
エホヤダは自分とすべての民と王との間に、彼らは皆、主の民となるとの契約を結んだ。 |
| 23-17 |
And all the people went to the house of Baal, and brake it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. |
そこですべての民はバアルの家に行って、それをこわし、その祭壇とその像とを打ち砕き、バアルの祭司マッタンを祭壇の前で殺した。 |
| 23-18 |
And Jehoiada appointed the officers of the house of Jehovah under the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of Jehovah, to offer the burnt-offerings of Jehovah, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, according to the order of David. |
エホヤダはまた主の宮の守衛を、祭司とレビびとの指揮のもとに置いた。このレビびとは昔ダビデがモーセの律法にしるされているように、喜びと歌とをもって主に燔祭をささげるために、主の宮に配置したものであって、今そのダビデの例にならったものである。 |
| 23-19 |
And he set the porters at the gates of the house of Jehovah, that none that was unclean in anything should enter in. |
彼はまた主の宮のもろもろの門に門衛を置き、汚れた者は何によって汚れた者でも、はいらせないようにした。 |
| 23-20 |
And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of Jehovah: and they came through the upper gate unto the king’s house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom. |
こうしてエホヤダは百人の長たち、貴族たち、民のつかさたちおよび国のすべての民を率いて、主の宮から王を連れ下り、上の門から王の家に進み、王を国の位につかせた。 |
| 23-21 |
So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. And Athaliah they had slain with the sword. |
国の民は皆喜んだ。町はアタリヤがつるぎで殺された後、穏やかであった。 |
