列王記Ⅰ 10

1 シバの女王ヱホバの名に關るソロモンの風聞を聞き及び難問を以てソロモンを試みんとて來れり

And the queen of Saba heard of the name of Solomon, and the name of the Lord, and she came to try him with riddles.

2 彼甚だ多くの部從香物と甚だ多くの金と寶石を負ふ駱駝を從へてエルサレムに至る彼ソロモンの許に來り其心にある所を悉く之に言たるに

And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train; and [there came] camels bearing spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and she came in to Solomon, and told him all that was in her heart.

3 ソロモン彼に其凡の事を告たり王の知ずして彼に告ざる事無りき

And Solomon answered all her questions: and there was not a question overlooked by the king which he did not answer her.

4 シバの女王ソロモンの諸の智慧と其建たる家と

And the queen of Saba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he built,

5 其席の食物と其臣僕の列坐る事と其侍臣の伺候および彼等の衣服と其酒人と其ヱホバの家に上る階級とを見て全く其氣を奪はれたり

and the provision of Solomon and the sitting of his attendants, and the standing of his servants, and his raiment, and his cupbearers, and his whole burnt offering which he offered in the house of the Lord, and she was utterly amazed.

6 彼王にいひけるは我が自己の國にて爾の行爲と爾の智慧に付て聞たる言は眞實なりき

And she said to king Solomon, [It was] a true report which I heard in my land of your words and your wisdom.

7 然ど我來りて目に見るまでは其言を信ぜざりしが今視るに其半も我に聞えざりしなり爾の智慧と昌盛はわが聞たる風聞に越ゆ

But I believed not them that told me, until I came and my eyes saw: and, behold, the words as they reported to me are not the half: you have exceeded in goodness all the report which I heard in my land.

8 常に爾の前に立て爾の智慧を聽く是等の人爾の臣僕は幸福なるかな

Blessed [are] your wives, blessed [are] these your servants who stand before you continually, who hear all your wisdom.

9 爾の神ヱホバは讃べきかなヱホバ爾を悦び爾をイスラエルの位に上らせたまへりヱホバ永久にイスラエルを愛したまふに因て爾を王となして公道と義を行はしめたまふなりと

Blessed be the Lord your God, who has taken pleasure in you, to set you upon the throne of Israel, because the Lord loved Israel to establish [him] for ever; and he has made you king over them, to execute judgment with justice, and in their causes.

10 彼乃ち金百二十タラント及び甚だ多くの香物と寶石とを王に饋れりシバの女王のソロモン王に饋りたるが如き多くの香物は重て至ざりき

And she gave to Solomon a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and very many spices, and precious stones: there had not come any other spices so abundant as those which the queen of Saba gave to king Solomon.

11 オフルより金を載來りたるヒラムの船は亦オフルより多くの白檀木と寶石とを運び來りければ

And the ship of Chiram which brought the gold from Suphir, brought very much hewn timber and precious stones.

12 王白檀木を以てヱホバの家と王の家とに欄干を造り歌謡者のために琴と瑟を造れり是の如き白檀木は至らざりき亦今日までも見たることなし

And the king made the hewn timber [into] buttresses of the house of the Lord and the king's house, and lyres and harps for singers: such hewn timber had not come upon the earth, nor have been seen anywhere until this day.

13 ソロモン王王の例に循ひてシバの女王に物を饋りたる外に又彼が望に任せて凡て其求むる物を饋れり斯て彼其臣僕等とともに歸りて其國に往り

And king Solomon gave to the queen of Saba all that she desired, whatever she asked, besides all that he had given her by the hand of king Solomon: and she returned, and came into her own land, she and her servants.

14 偖一年にソロモンの所に至れる金の重量は六百六十六タラントなり

And the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold.

15 外に又商買および商旅の交易並にアラビヤの王等と國の知事等よりも至れり

Besides the tributes of them that were subjects, both merchants and all the kings of the [country] beyond [the river], and of the princess of the land.

16 ソロモン王展金の大楯二百を造れり其大楯には各六百シケルの金を用ひたり

And Solomon made three hundred spears of beaten gold: three hundred shekels of gold were upon one spear.

17 又展金の干三百を造れり一の干に三斤の金を用ひたり王是等をレバノン森林の家に置り

And three hundred shields of beaten gold: and three pounds of gold were in one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

18 王又象牙をもて大なる寳座を造り純金を以て之を蔽へり

And the king made a great ivory throne, and gilded it with pure gold.

19 其寳座に六の階級あり寳座の後に圓き頭あり坐する處の兩旁に扶手ありて扶手の側に二の獅子立てり

The throne [had] six steps, and calves in bold relief to the throne behind it, and side-pieces on either hand of the place of the seat, and two lions standing by the side-pieces,

20 又其六の階級に十二の獅子此旁彼旁に立り是の如き者を作れる國はあらざりき

and twelve lions standing there on the six steps on either side: it was not so done in any [other] kingdom.

21 ソロモン王の用ひて飮る器は皆金なり又レバノン森林の家の器も皆純金にして銀の物無りき銀はソロモンの世には貴まざりしなり

And all the vessels made by Solomon [were] of gold, and the lavers [were] golden, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; there was no silver, for it was not accounted of in the days of Solomon.

22 其は王海にタルシシの船を有てヒラムの船と供にあらしめタルシシの船をして三年に一度金銀象牙猿猴および孔雀を載て來らしめたればなり

For Solomon had a ship of Tharsis in the sea with the ships of Chiram: one ship came to the king every three years out of Tharsis, [laden with] gold and silver, and wrought stones, and hewn stones.

23 抑ソロモン王は富有と智慧に於て天下の諸の王よりも大なりければ

And Solomon increased beyond all the kings of the earth in wealth and wisdom.

24 天下皆神がソロモンの心に授けたまへる智慧を聽んとてソロモンの面を見んことを求めたり

And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom which the Lord [had] put into his heart.

25 人々各其禮物を携へ來る即ち銀の器金の器衣服甲冑香物馬騾毎歳定分ありき

And they brought every one their gifts, vessels of gold, and raiment, and stacte, and spices, and horses, and mules, a rate year by year.

26 ソロモン戰車と騎兵を集めたるに戰車千四百輛騎兵壱萬二千ありきソロモン之を戰車の城邑に置き或はエルサレムにて王の所に置り

And Solomon had four thousand mares for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen: and he put them in the cities of his chariots, and with the king in Jerusalem: and he ruled over all the kings from the river to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt.

27 王エルサレムに於て銀を石の如くに爲し香柏を平地の桑樹の如くに爲して多く用ひたり

And the king made gold and silver in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars as the sycamores in the plain for multitude.

28 ソロモンの馬を獲たるはエジプトとコアよりなり即ち王の商賣コアより價値を以て取り

And the goings forth of Solomon's horsemen [was] also out of Egypt, and the king's merchants [were] of Thecue; and they received them out of Thecue at a price.

29 エジプトより上り出る戰車一輛は銀六百にして馬は百五十なりき斯のごとくヘテ人の凡の王等およびスリアの王等のために其手をもて取出せり

And that which proceeded out of Egypt went up [thus, even] a chariot for a hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for fifty [shekels] of silver: and thus for all the kings of the Chettians, and the kings of Syria, they came out by sea.
