1第七年に、エホヤダは決意を固め、百人の長たち、すなわちエロハムの子アザルヤ、エホハナンの子イシュマエル、オベドの子アザルヤ、アダヤの子マアセヤ、ジクリの子エリシャファテと契約を結んだ。
1And in the seventh year Joiada being encouraged, took the captains of hundreds, to wit, Azarias the son of Jeroham, and Ismahel the son of Johanan, and Azarias the son of Obed, and Maasias the son of Adaias, and Elisaphat the son of Zechri: and made a covenant with them.
2彼らはユダを巡り歩き、ユダのすべての町々からレビ人を、またイスラエルの父祖の家々の長たちを集めた。そして彼らはエルサレムに来た。
2And they went about Juda, and gathered together the Levites out of all the cities of Juda, and the chiefs of the families of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
3全会衆は神の家で王と契約を結んだ。エホヤダ は彼らに言った。「見よ。主がダビデの子らについて語られたとおりに、王の子が治めなければならない。
3And all the multitude made a covenant with the king in the house of God: and Joiada said to them: Behold the king’s son shall reign, as the Lord hath said of the sons of David.
4あなたがたがしなければならないことは、これである。安息日に入って来るあなたがた、すなわち祭司とレビ人の三分の一は、入口の門衛となりなさい。
4And this is the thing that you shall do:
5三分の一は王の家に、三分の一は礎の門にいなさい。すべての民は主の家の庭にいなさい。
5A third part of you that come to the sabbath, of the priests, and of the Levites, and of the porters, shall be at the gates: and a third part at the king’s house: and a third at the gate that is called the Foundation: but let all the rest of the people be in the courts of the house of the Lord.
6しかし、祭司たちと、仕えるレビ人のほかは、だれも主の家に入ってはならない。彼らは聖なる者であるから入ることができる。しかし、すべての民は主の定めを守らなければならない。
6And let no one come into the house of the Lord, but the priests, and they that minister of the Levites: let them only come in, because they are sanctified: and let all the rest of the people keep the watches of the Lord.
7レビ人はおのおの手に武器を持ち、王を取り囲みなさい。家に入って来る者はだれでも殺されなければならない。王が入って来るときも、出て行くときも、王とともにいなさい。」
7And let the Levites be round about the king, every man with his arms; (and if any other come into the temple, let him be slain;) and let them be with the king, both coming in, and going out.
8こうしてレビ人と全ユダは、祭司エホヤダが命じたすべてのことに従って行った。おのおの自分の部下たち、すなわち安息日に入って来る者たちと、安息日に出て行く者たちを連れて行った。祭司エホヤダがその組を解散させなかったからである。
8So the Levites, and all Juda did according to all that Joiada the high priest bad commanded: and they took every one his men that were under him, and that came in by the course of the sabbath, with those who had fulfilled the sabbath, and were to go out. For Joiada the high priest permitted not the companies to depart, which were accustomed to succeed one another every week.
9祭司エホヤダは、神の家にあったダビデ王の槍、小盾、大盾を百人の長たちに渡した。
9And Joiada the priest gave to the captains the spears, and the shields, and targets of king David, which he had dedicated in the house of the Lord.
10彼はすべての民を、おのおの手に武器を持たせ、家の右側から家の左側まで、祭壇と家のそばに沿って王の周囲に配置した。
10And he set all the people with swords in their hands from the right side of the temple, to the left side of the temple, before the altar, and the temple, round about the king.
11それから彼らは王の子を連れ出し、彼に冠をかぶらせ、契約の書を授け、彼を王とした。エホヤダとその子らは彼に油を注ぎ、「王万歳」と言った。
11And they brought out the king’s son, and put the crown upon him, and the testimony, and gave him the law to hold in his hand, and they made him king: and Joiada the high priest and his sons anointed him: and they prayed for him, and said: God save the king.
12アタルヤは、民が走り回り、王を賛美している音を聞いて、主の家にある民のところへ行った。
12Now when Athalia heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came in to the people, into the temple of the Lord.
13彼女が見ると、見よ、王は入口にある王の柱のそばに立っており、王のそばには長たちとラッパを吹き鳴らす者たちがいた。この地のすべての民は喜び、ラッパを吹き鳴らしていた。歌うたいたちも楽器を奏でて、賛美の歌を導いていた。そこでアタルヤは自分の衣を引き裂き、「反逆だ、反逆だ」と言った。
13And when she saw the king standing upon the step in the entrance, and the princes, and the companies about him, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and sounding with trumpets, and playing on instruments of divers kinds, and the voice of those that praised, she rent her garments, and said: Treason, treason.
14祭司エホヤダは軍隊の上に立てられた百人の長たちを引き出し、彼らに言った。「彼女を隊列の間に引き出しなさい。彼女に従う者はだれでも剣で殺しなさい。」祭司が「主の家で彼女を殺してはならない」と言ったからである。
14And Joiada the high priest going out to the captains, and the chiefs of the army, said to them: Take her forth without the precinct of the temple, and when she is without let her be killed with the sword. For the priest commanded that she should not be killed in the house of the Lord.
15そこで彼らは彼女のために道を開いた。彼女は王の家の馬の門の入り口に行き、彼らはそこで彼女を殺した。
15And they laid hold on her by the neck: and when she was come within the horse gate of the palace, they killed her there.
16エホヤダは、自分とすべての民と王との間に、彼らが主の民となるという契約を結んだ。
16And Joiada made a covenant between himself and all the people, and the king, that they should be the people of the Lord.
17すべての民はバアルの家に行き、それを打ち壊した。彼らはその祭壇と像を粉々に砕き、祭壇の前でバアルの祭司マタンを殺した。
17And all the people went into the house of Baal, and destroyed it: and they broke down his altars and his idols: and they slew Mathan the priest of Baal before the altars.
18エホヤダは、主の家の務めをレビ族の祭司たちの手に委ねた。彼らはダビデが主の家に割り当てた者たちで、モーセの律法に記されているとおりに主の全焼のささげ物をささげ、ダビデの定めに従って喜びと歌をもって仕えるためであった。
18And Joiada appointed overseers in the house of the Lord, under the hands of the priests, and the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the Lord: to offer holocausts to the Lord, as it is written in the law of Moses, with joy and singing, according to the disposition of David.
19彼は主の家の門に門衛を置き、何事においても汚れた者が入ってこないようにした。
19He appointed also porters in the gates of the house of the Lord, that none who was unclean in any thing should enter in.
20彼は百人の長たち、有力者たち、民の支配者たち、およびこの地のすべての民を連れて、王を主の家から連れ下った。彼らは上の門を通って王の家に入り、王を王国の王座に座らせた。
20And he took the captains of hundreds, and the most valiant men, and the chiefs of the people, and all the people of the land, and they brought down the king from the house of the Lord, and brought him through the upper gate into the king’s house, and set him on the royal throne.
21こうしてこの地のすべての民は喜び、町は静かであった。アタルヤは剣で殺された。
21And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet: but Athalia was slain with the sword.
