1 Kings 8
1 At that time Solomon assembled before him in Jerusalem the elders of Israel—all the tribal heads and family leaders of the Israelites—to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from Zion, the City of David.
爰にソロモン、ヱホバの契約の櫃をダビデの城即ちシオンより舁上らんとてイスラエルの長老と諸の支派の首イスラエルの子孫の家の長等をエルサレムにてソロモン王の所に召集む
2 And all the men of Israel came together to King Solomon at the feast in the seventh month, the month of Ethanim.
イスラエルの人皆エタニムの月即ち七月の節筵に當てソロモン王の所に集まれり
3 When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the priests took up the ark,
イスラエルの長老皆至り祭司櫃を執りあげて
4 and they brought up the ark of the LORD and the Tent of Meeting with all its sacred furnishings. So the priests and Levites carried them up.
ヱホバの櫃と集會の幕屋と幕屋にありし諸の聖き器を舁上れり即ち祭司とレビの人之を舁のぼれり
5 There, before the ark, King Solomon and the whole congregation of Israel who had assembled with him sacrificed so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.
ソロモン王および其許に集れるイスラエルの會衆皆彼と偕に櫃の前にありて羊と牛を献げたりしが其數多くして書すことも數ふることも能はざりき
6 Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, beneath the wings of the cherubim.
祭司ヱホバの契約の櫃を其處に舁いれたり即ち家の神殿なる至聖所の中のケルビムの翼の下に置めたり
7 For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and overshadowed the ark and its poles.
ケルビムは翼を櫃の所に舒べ且ケルビム上より櫃と其棹を掩へり
8 The poles extended far enough that their ends were visible from the Holy Place in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside the Holy Place; and they are there to this day.
杠長かりければ杠の末は神殿の前の聖所より見えたり然ども外には見えざりき其杠は今日まで彼處にあり
9 There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the LORD had made a covenant with the Israelites after they had come out of the land of Egypt.
櫃の内には二の石牌の外何もあらざりき是はイスラエルの子孫のエジプトの地より出たる時ヱホバの彼等と契約を結たまへる時にモーセがホレブにて其處に置めたる者なり
10 And when the priests came out of the Holy Place, the cloud filled the house of the LORD
斯て祭司聖所より出けるに雲ヱホバの家に盈たれば
11 so that the priests could not stand there to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.
祭司は雲のために立て供事ること能はざりき其はヱホバの榮光ヱホバの家に盈たればなり
12 Then Solomon declared: “The LORD has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud.
是においてソロモンいひけるはヱホバは濃き雲の中に居んといひたまへり
13 I have indeed built You an exalted house, a place for You to dwell forever.”
我誠に汝のために住むべき家永久に居べき所を建たりと
14 And as the whole assembly of Israel stood there, the king turned around and blessed them all
王其面を轉てイスラエルの凡の會衆を祝せり時にイスラエルの會衆は皆立ゐたり
15 and said: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has fulfilled with His own hand what He spoke with His mouth to my father David, saying,
彼言けるはイスラエルの神ヱホバは譽べきかなヱホバは其口をもて吾父ダビデに言ひ其手をもて之を成し遂げたまへり
16 ‘Since the day I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house so that My Name would be there. But I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’
即ち我は吾民イスラエルをエジプトより導き出せし日より我名を置べき家を建しめんためにイスラエルの諸の支派の中より何れの城邑をも選みしことなし但ダビデを選みてわが民イスラエルの上に立しめたりと言たまへり
17 Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
夫イスラエルの神ヱホバの名のために家を建ることはわが父ダビデの心にありき
18 But the LORD said to my father David, ‘Since it was in your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well to have this in your heart.
しかるにヱホバわが父ダビデにいひたまひけるはわが名のために家を建ること汝の心にあり汝の心に此事あるは善し
19 Nevertheless, you are not the one to build it; but your son, your own offspring, will build the house for My Name.’
然ども汝は其家を建べからず汝の腰より出る汝の子其人吾名のために家を建べしと
20 Now the LORD has fulfilled the word that He spoke. I have succeeded my father David, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised. I have built the house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
而してヱホバ其言たまひし言を行ひたまへり即ち我わが父ダビデに代りて立ちヱホバの言たまひし如くイスラエルの位に坐しイスラエルの神ヱホバの名のために家を建たり
21 And there I have provided a place for the ark, which contains the covenant of the LORD that He made with our fathers when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.”
我又其處にヱホバの契約を蔵めたる櫃のために一の所を設けたり即ち我儕の父祖をエジプトの地より導き出したまひし時に彼等に爲したまひし者なりと
22 Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in front of the whole assembly of Israel, spread out his hands toward heaven,
ソロモン、イスラエルの凡の會衆の前にてヱホバの壇のまへに立ち其手を天に舒て
23 and said: “O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven above or on earth below, keeping Your covenant of loving devotion with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts.
言けるはイスラエルの神ヱホバよ上の天にも下の地にも汝の如き神なし汝は契約を持ちたまひ心を全うして汝のまへに歩むところの汝の僕等に恩惠を施したまふ
24 You have kept Your promise to Your servant, my father David. What You spoke with Your mouth You have fulfilled with Your hand this day.
汝は汝の僕わが父ダビデに語たまへる所を持ちたまへり汝は口をもて語ひ手をもて成し遂たまへること今日のごとし
25 Therefore now, O LORD, God of Israel, keep for Your servant, my father David, what You promised when You said: ‘You will never fail to have a man to sit before Me on the throne of Israel, if only your descendants guard their way to walk before Me as you have done.’
イスラエルの神ヱホバよ然ば汝が僕わが父ダビデに語りて若し汝の子孫其道を愼みて汝がわが前に歩めるごとくわが前に歩まばイスラエルの位に坐する人わがまへにて汝に缺ること無るべしといひたまひし事をダビデのために持ちたまへ
26 And now, O God of Israel, please confirm what You promised to Your servant, my father David.
然ばイスラエルの神よ爾が僕わが父ダビデに言たまへる爾の言に效驗あらしめたまへ
27 But will God indeed dwell upon the earth? Even heaven, the highest heaven, cannot contain You, much less this temple I have built.
神果して地の上に住たまふや視よ天も諸の天の天も爾を容るに足ず况て我が建たる此家をや
28 Yet regard the prayer and plea of Your servant, O LORD my God, so that You may hear the cry and the prayer that Your servant is praying before You today.
然どもわが神ヱホバよ僕の祈祷と懇願を顧みて其號呼と僕が今日爾のまへに祈る祈祷を聽たまへ
29 May Your eyes be open toward this temple night and day, toward the place of which You said, ‘My Name shall be there,’ so that You may hear the prayer that Your servant prays toward this place.
願くは爾の目を夜晝此家に即ち爾が我名は彼處に在べしといひたまへる處に向ひて開きたまへ願くは僕の此處に向ひて祈らん祈祷を聽たまへ
30 Hear the plea of Your servant and of Your people Israel when they pray toward this place. May You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place. May You hear and forgive.
願くは僕と爾の民イスラエルが此處に向ひて祈る時に爾其懇願を聽たまへ爾は爾の居處なる天において聽き聽て赦したまへ
31 When a man sins against his neighbor and is required to take an oath, and he comes to take an oath before Your altar in this temple,
若し人其隣人に對ひて犯せることありて其人誓をもて誓ふことを要られんに來りて此家において爾の壇のまへに誓ひなば
32 then may You hear from heaven and act. May You judge Your servants, condemning the wicked man by bringing down on his own head what he has done, and justifying the righteous man by rewarding him according to his righteousness.
爾天において聽て行ひ爾の僕等を鞫き惡き者を罪して其道を其首に歸し義しき者を義として其義に循ひて之に報いたまへ
33 When Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy because they have sinned against You, and they return to You and confess Your name, praying and pleading with You in this temple,
若爾の民イスラエル爾に罪を犯したるがために敵の前に敗られんに爾に歸りて爾の名を崇め此家にて爾に祈り願ひなば
34 then may You hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your people Israel. May You restore them to the land You gave to their fathers.
爾天において聽き爾の民イスラエルの罪を赦して彼等を爾が其父祖に與へし地に歸らしめたまへ
35 When the skies are shut and there is no rain because Your people have sinned against You, and they pray toward this place and confess Your name, and they turn from their sins because You have afflicted them,
若彼等が爾に罪を犯したるが爲に天閉て雨无らんに彼等若此處にむかひて祈り爾の名を崇め爾が彼等を苦めたまふときに其罪を離れなば
36 then may You hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, so that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk. May You send rain on the land that You gave Your people as an inheritance.
爾天において聽き爾の僕等爾の民イスラエルの罪を赦したまへ爾彼等に其歩むべき善道を敎へたまふ時は爾が爾の民に與へて產業となさしめたまひし爾の地に雨を降したまへ
37 When famine or plague comes upon the land, or blight or mildew or locusts or grasshoppers, or when their enemy besieges them in their cities, whatever plague or sickness may come,
若國に饑饉あるか若くは疫病枯死朽腐噬亡ぼす蝗蟲あるか若くは其敵國にいりて彼等を其門に圍むか如何なる災害如何なる病疾あるも
38 then may whatever prayer or petition Your people Israel make—each knowing his own afflictions and spreading out his hands toward this temple—
若一人か或は爾の民イスラエル皆各己の心の災を知て此家に向ひて手を舒なば其人如何なる祈祷如何なる懇願を爲とも
39 be heard by You from heaven, Your dwelling place. And may You forgive and act, and repay each man according to all his ways, since You know his heart—for You alone know the hearts of all men—
爾の居處なる天に於て聽て赦し行ひ各の人に其心を知給ふ如く其道々にしたがひて報い給へ其は爾のみ凡の人の心を知たまへばなり
40 so that they may fear You all the days they live in the land that You gave to our fathers.
爾かく彼等をして爾が彼等の父祖に與へたまへる地に居る日に常に爾を畏れしめたまへ
41 And as for the foreigner who is not of Your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of Your name—
且又爾の民イスラエルの者にあらずして爾の名のために遠き國より來る異邦人は
42 for they will hear of Your great name and mighty hand and outstretched arm—when he comes and prays toward this temple,
(其は彼等爾の大なる名と強き手と伸たる腕を聞およぶべければなり)若來りて此家にむかひて祈らば
43 then may You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You. Then all the peoples of the earth will know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and they will know that this house I have built is called by Your Name.
爾の居處なる天に於て聽き凡て異邦人の爾に龥求むる如く爲たまへ爾かく地の諸の民をして爾の名をしらしめ爾の民イスラエルのごとく爾を畏れしめ又我が建たる此家は爾の名をもて稱呼るるといふことを知しめ給へ
44 When Your people go to war against their enemies, wherever You send them, and when they pray to the LORD in the direction of the city You have chosen and the house I have built for Your Name,
爾の民其敵と戰はんとて爾の遣はしたまふ所に出たる時彼等若爾が選みたまへる城とわが爾の名のために建たる家の方に向ひてヱホバに祈らば
45 then may You hear from heaven their prayer and their plea, and may You uphold their cause.
爾天において彼等の祈祷と懇願を聽て彼等を助けたまへ
46 When they sin against You—for there is no one who does not sin—and You become angry with them and deliver them to an enemy who takes them as captives to his own land, whether far or near,
人は罪を犯さざる者なければ彼等爾に罪を犯すことありて爾彼等を怒り彼等を其敵に付し敵かれらを虜として遠近を諭ず敵の地に引ゆかん時は
47 and when they come to their senses in the land to which they were taken, and they repent and plead with You in the land of their captors, saying, ‘We have sinned and done wrong; we have acted wickedly,’
若彼等虜れゆきし地において自ら顧みて悔い己を虜へゆきし者の地にて爾に願ひて我儕罪を犯し悖れる事を爲たり我儕惡を行ひたりと言ひ
48 and when they return to You with all their heart and soul in the land of the enemies who took them captive, and when they pray to You in the direction of the land that You gave to their fathers, the city You have chosen, and the house I have built for Your Name,
己を虜ゆきし敵の地にて一心一念に爾に歸り爾が其父祖に與へたまへる地爾が選みたまへる城とわが爾の名のために建たる家の方に向ひて爾に祈らば
49 then may You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, their prayer and petition, and may You uphold their cause.
爾の居處なる天において爾彼等の祈祷と懇願を聽てかれらを助け
50 May You forgive Your people who have sinned against You and all the transgressions they have committed against You, and may You grant them compassion in the eyes of their captors to show them mercy.
爾の民の爾に對て犯したる事と爾に對て過てる其凡の罪過を赦し彼等を虜ゆける者の前にて彼等に憐を得させ其人々をして彼等を憐ましめたまへ
51 For they are Your people and Your inheritance; You brought them out of Egypt, out of the furnace for iron.
其は彼等は爾がエジプトより即ち鐵の鑪の中よりいだしたまひし爾の民爾の產業なればなり
52 May Your eyes be open to the pleas of Your servant and of Your people Israel, and may You listen to them whenever they call to You.
願くは僕の祈祷と爾の民イスラエルの祈願に爾の目を開きて凡て其爾に龥求むる所を聽たまへ
53 For You, O Lord GOD, as Your inheritance, have set them apart from all the peoples of the earth, as You spoke through Your servant Moses when You brought our fathers out of Egypt.”
其は爾彼等を地の凡の民の中より別ちて爾の產業となしたまへばなり神ヱホバ爾が我儕の父祖をエジプトより導き出せし時モーセによりて言給ひし如し
54 Now when Solomon had finished praying this entire prayer and petition to the LORD, he got up before the altar of the LORD, where he had been kneeling with his hands spread out toward heaven.
ソロモン此祈祷と祈願を悉くヱホバに祈り終りし時其天にむかひて手を舒べ膝を屈居たるを止てヱホバの壇のまへより起あがり
55 And he stood and blessed the whole assembly of Israel in a loud voice, saying:
立て大なる聲にてイスラエルの凡の會衆を祝して言けるは
56 “Blessed be the LORD, who has given rest to His people Israel according to all that He promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises He made through His servant Moses.
ヱホバは譽べきかなヱホバは凡て其言たまひし如く其民イスラエルに太平を與へたまへり其僕モーセによりて言たまひし其善言は皆一も違はざりき
57 May the LORD our God be with us, as He was with our fathers. May He never leave us nor forsake us.
願くは我儕の神ヱホバ我儕の父祖と偕に在せしごとく我儕とともに在せ我儕を離れたまふなかれ我儕を棄たまふなかれ
58 May He incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways and to keep the commandments and statutes and ordinances He commanded our fathers.
願くは我儕の心をおのれに傾けたまひて其凡の道に歩ましめ其我儕の父祖に命じたまひし誡命と法憲と律例を守らしめたまへ
59 And may these words with which I have made my petition before the LORD be near to the LORD our God day and night, so that He may uphold the cause of His servant and of His people Israel as each day requires,
願くはヱホバの前にわが願し是等の言日夜われらの神ヱホバに近くあれ而してヱホバ日々の事に僕を助け其民イスラエルを助けたまへ
60 so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God. There is no other!
斯して地の諸の民にヱホバの神なることと他に神なきことを知しめたまへ
61 So let your heart be fully devoted to the LORD our God, as it is this day, to walk in His statutes and to keep His commandments.”
されば爾等我儕の神ヱホバとともにありて今日の如く爾らの心を完全しヱホバの法憲に歩み其誡命を守るべしと
62 Then the king and all Israel with him offered sacrifices before the LORD.
斯て王および王と偕にありしイスラエル皆ヱホバのまへに犠牲を献たり
63 And Solomon offered as peace offerings to the LORD 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the Israelites dedicated the house of the LORD.
ソロモン酬恩祭の犠牲を献げたり即ち之をヱホバに献ぐ其牛二萬二千羊十二萬なりき斯王とイスラエルの子孫皆ヱホバの家を開けり
64 On that same day the king consecrated the middle of the courtyard in front of the house of the LORD, and there he offered the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, since the bronze altar before the LORD was too small to contain all these offerings.
其日に王ヱホバの家の前なる庭の中を聖別め其處にて燔祭と禴祭と酬恩祭の脂とを献げたり是はヱホバの前なる銅の壇小くして燔祭と禴祭と酬恩祭の脂とを受るにたらざりしが故なり
65 So at that time Solomon and all Israel with him—a great assembly of people from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of Egypt—kept the feast before the LORD our God for seven days and seven more days—fourteen days in all.
其時ソロモン七日に七日合て十四日我儕の神ヱホバのまへに節筵を爲りイスラエルの大なる會衆ハマテの入處よりエジプトの河にいたるまで悉く彼と偕にありき
66 On the fifteenth day Solomon sent the people away. So they blessed the king and went home, joyful and glad in heart for all the good things that the LORD had done for His servant David and for His people Israel.
第八日にソロモン民を歸せり民は王を祝しヱホバが其僕ダビデと其民イスラエルに施したまひし諸の恩惠のために喜び且心に樂みて其天幕に往り
