2 Chronicles 9
1 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great train, and camels that bare spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
茲にシバの女王ソロモンの風聞を聞および難問をもてソロモンを試みんとて甚だ衆多の部從をしたがへ香物と夥多き金と寶石とを駱駝に負せてヱルサレムに來りソロモンの許にいたりてその心にある所をことごとく之に陳けるに
2 And Solomon told her all her questions: and there was not any thing hid from Solomon which he told her not.
ソロモンこれが問に盡く答へたりソロモンの知ずして答へざる事は無りき
3 And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
シバの女王ソロモンの智慧とその建たる家を觀
4 and the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants; and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel; his cupbearers also, and their apparel; and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.
またその席の食物とその諸臣の列坐る状とその侍臣の伺候状と彼らの衣服およびその酒人とその衣服ならびに彼がヱホバの家に上りゆく昇道を觀におよびて全くその氣を奪はれたり
5 And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom.
是において彼王に言けるは我が自己の國にて汝の行爲と汝の智慧とにつきて聞およびたる言は眞實なりき
6 Howbeit I believed not their words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me: thou exceedest the fame that I heard.
然るに我は來りて目に觀るまではその言を信ぜざりしが今視ば汝の智慧の大なる事我が聞たるはその半分にも及ばざりき汝は我が聞たる風聞に愈れり
7 Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
汝の人々は幸福なるかな汝の前に常に立て汝の智慧を聽る此なんぢの臣僕等は幸福なるかな
8 Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on his throne, to be king for the LORD thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore made he thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.
汝の神ヱホバは讃べき哉彼なんぢを悦こびてその位に上らせ汝の神ヱホバの爲に汝を王となしたまへり汝の神イスラエルを愛して永く之を堅うせんとするが故に汝を之が王となして公平と正義を行はせたまふなりと
9 And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
すなはち金百二十タラントおよび莫大の香物と寶石とを王に饋れりシバの女王がソロモン王に饋りたるが如き香物は未だ曾て有ざりしなり
10 And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, which brought gold from Ophir; brought algum trees and precious stones.
(かのオフルより金を取きたりしヒラムの臣僕とソロモンの臣僕等また白檀木と寶石とをも携さへいたりければ
11 And the king made of the algum trees terraces for the house of the LORD, and for the king’s house, and harps and psalteries for the singers; and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah.
王その白檀木をもてヱホバの家と王の宮とに段階を作りまた謳歌者のために琴と瑟とを作れり是より前には是のごとき者ユダの地に見しこと無りき)
12 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which she had brought unto the king. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.
ソロモン王シバの女王に物を饋りてその携へきたれる所に報いたるが上にまた之が望にまかせて凡てその求むる者を與へたり斯て彼はその臣僕とともに去てその國に還りぬ
13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold;
一年にソロモンの所に來れる金の重量は六百六十六タラントなり
14 beside that which the chapmen and merchants brought: and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
この外にまた商賣および商旅の携へきたる者ありアラビアの一切の王等および國の知事等もまた金銀をソロモンに携へ至れり
15 And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred [shekels] of beaten gold went to one target.
ソロモン王展金の大楯二百を作れりその大楯一枚には展金六百シケルを用ふ
16 And [he made] three hundred shields of beaten gold; three hundred [shekels] of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
また展金の小干三百を作れり其小干一枚には金三百シケルを用ふ王これらをレバノン森の家に置り
17 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
王また象牙をもて大なる寳座一を造り純金をもて之を蔽へり
18 And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays.
その寳座には六の階級あり又金の足臺ありて共にその寳座に連なりその坐する處の此旁彼旁に按手ありて按手の側に二頭の獅子立をり
19 And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom.
その六の階級に十二の獅子ありて此旁彼旁に立り是のごとき者を作れる國は未だ曾て有ざりしなり
20 And all king Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: silver was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
ソロモン王の用ゐる飮料の器は皆金なりまたレバノン森の家の器もことごとく精金なり銀はソロモンの世には何とも算ざりしなり
21 For the king had ships that went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: once every three years came the ships of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
其は王の舟ヒラムの僕を乗てタルシシに往き三年毎に一回その舟タルシシより金銀象牙猿および孔雀を載て來りたればたり
22 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
ソロモン王は天下の諸王に勝りて富有と智慧とをもちたれば
23 And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
天下の諸王みな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
24 And they brought very man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
各々その禮物を携さへ來る即ち銀の器金の器衣服甲冑香物馬騾など年々定分ありき
25 And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
ソロモン戰車の馬四千厩騎兵一萬二千あり王これを戰車の邑々に置きまたヱルサレムにて自己の所に置り
26 And he ruled over all the kings from the River even unto the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
彼は河よりペリシテの地とエジプトの界までの諸王を統治めたり
27 And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.
王は銀を石のごとくヱルサレムに多からしめまた香柏を平野の桑木のごとく多からしめたり
28 And they brought horses for Solomon out of Egypt, and out of all lands.
また人衆エジプトなどの諸國より馬をソロモンに率いたれり
29 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
ソロモンのその餘の始終の行爲は預言者ナタンの書とシロ人アヒヤの預言と先見者イドがネバテの子ヤラベアムにつきて述たる默旨の中に記さるるにあらずや
30 And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
ソロモンはヱルサレムにて四十年の間イスラエルの全地を治めたり
31 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
ソロモンその先祖等と倶に寝りてその父ダビデの邑に葬られ其子レハベアムこれに代りて王となれり
