1 Chronicles 28
1 David summoned all the leaders of Israel to come to Jerusalem. He summoned the leaders of the tribes, the leaders/commanders of the groups that worked for the king, the commanders of 100 soldiers, the commanders of 1,000 soldiers, those who were in charge of the property and livestock that belonged to the king and his sons, all the palace officials, and his mighty soldiers and bravest warriors.
茲にダビデ、イスラエルの一切の長支派の長王に事ふる班列の長千人の長百人の長王とその子等の所有及び家畜を掌どる者閹官有力者諸勇士などを盡くヱルサレムに召集め
2 David stood up and said, “My fellow Israelis, listen to me. I wanted [IDM] to build a temple to be a place where we would put the Sacred Chest of Yahweh, where it would stay permanently. And I made plans to build it.
而してダビデ王その足にて起て言けるは我兄弟等我民よ我に聽け我はヱホバの契約の櫃のため我らの神の足臺のために安居の家を建んとの志ありて已にこれを建る準備をなせり
3 But God said to me, ‘You are not the one who will [arrange to] build a temple for me [MTY], because you are a warrior and you have killed many people [MTY] [in battles].’
然るに神我に言たまへり汝は我名のために家を建べからず汝は軍人にして許多の血を流したればなりと
4 “But Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong, had chosen me and my descendants to be the kings of Israel forever. [First] he chose the tribe of Judah, and from the people [MTY] of Judah he chose my family, and from my father’s sons he chose me to be the king over all of Israel.
然りと雖もイスラエルの神ヱホバ我父の全家の中より我を選びて永くイスラエルに王たらしめたまふ即ちユダを選びて長となしユダの全家の中より我父の家を選び我父の子等の中にて我を悦びイスラエルの王とならしめたまふ
5 Yahweh has given me many sons, but from them he chose my son Solomon to be the next king to rule [MTY] the kingdom of Israel.
而してヱホバ我に衆多の子をたまひて其わが諸の子等の中より我子ソロモンを選び之をヱホバの國の位に坐せしめてイスラエルを治めしめんとしたまふ
6 He said to me, ‘Solomon your son is the one who will [arrange to] build my temple and the courtyards around it, because I have chosen him to be [like] my son and I will be [like] [MET] his father.
ヱホバまた我に言たまひけるは汝の子ソロモンはわが家および我庭を作らん我かれを選びて吾子となせり我かれの父となるべし
7 I will enable his kingdom to endure forever if he continues to obey my laws and commands, like you are doing now.’
彼もし今日のごとく我誡命と律法を堅く守り行はば我その國を永く堅うせんと
8 “So now, while all [you people of] Israel, all of you who belong to Yahweh, are watching, and while God is listening, I command you [leaders] to carefully obey all the commands of Yahweh our God, in order that you may continue to possess this good land and enable your descendants to inherit it forever.
然ば今ヱホバの會衆たるイスラエルの全家の目の前および我らの神の聞しめす所にて汝らに勸む汝らその神ヱホバの一切の誡命を守りかつ之を追もとむべし然せば汝等この美地を保ちてこれを汝らの後の子孫に永く傳ふることを得ん
9 “And you, my son Solomon, must know God like I know him, and you must serve him faithfully and because you want to. You must do that because he knows what everyone is thinking and he understands the reasons that people do what they do. If you seek [to know] him, he will heed your prayers. But if you abandon/reject him, he will abandon/reject you forever.
我子ソロモンよ汝の父の神を知り完全心をもて喜び勇んで之に事へよヱホバは一切の心を探り一切の思想を暁りたまふなり汝もし之を求めなば之に遇ん然ど汝もし之を棄なば永く汝を棄たまはん
10 Yahweh has chosen you to [arrange to] build a temple for him. So think about [what I have said], and be strong and do what [he is wanting you to do].”
然ば汝謹めよヱホバ汝を選びて聖所とすべき家を建させんと爲たまへば心を強くしてこれを爲べしと
11 Then David gave to his son Solomon [the scroll on which were written] the plans for the main rooms of the temple, its porch, its storerooms, all the other upper and lower rooms, and the Very Holy Place where God would forgive the sins that people had committed.
而してダビデは殿の廊およびその家その府庫その上の室その内の室贖罪所の室などの式樣をその子ソロモンに授け
12 David wrote for him the plans that God’s Spirit had put into his mind for building the courtyards and all the rooms that surrounded the temple, including the room where the money and other valuable things that were dedicated to God would be kept.
また其心に思ひはかれる一切の物すなはちヱホバの家の庭四周の諸の室神の家の府庫聖物の府庫などの式樣を授け
13 He gave Solomon instructions for the groups of priests and other descendants of Levi, about all the work that they must do to serve in Yahweh’s temple, and about taking care of all the things that would be used in the work at the temple.
また祭司およびレビ人の班列とヱホバの家の諸の奉事の工とヱホバの家の諸の奉事の器皿とにつきて諭すところあり
14 He wrote down how much gold and how much silver should be used to make all the items in the temple:
また諸の奉事に用ふる金の器皿を作る金の重量を定め又諸の奉事の器に用ふる諸の銀の器皿の銀の重量を定む
15 how much gold for making the gold lampstands and the lamps, how much silver to make the silver lamps and lampstands,
即ち金の燈臺とその金の燈盞の重量を宣て一切の燈臺とその燈盞の重量を定め又銀の燈臺につきても各々の燈臺の用法にしたがひて燈臺とその燈盞の重量を定め
16 how much gold for making the table on which [the priests would put] the sacred bread, how much silver to use to make the other tables,
また供前のパンの案につきてはその各の案のために金の重量を定め又銀の案のためにも銀を定め
17 how much pure gold for the meat forks and the bowls and the cups, how much gold for each gold dish, how much silver for each silver dish,
又肉鉤盂杓のために用ふる純金の重量を定め金の大斝につきてもまた各々の大斝のために重量を定め銀の一切の大斝のためにも重量を定め
18 and how much pure gold to make the altar for [burning] incense. He also gave to Solomon his plans for making the golden statues of winged creatures that would be above the Sacred Chest of Yahweh, [like] a chariot for him.
また香壇のために用ふる精金の重量を定めかつ車なるケルビムの式樣の金を定む此ケルビムはその翼を展てヱホバの契約の櫃を覆ふ
19 Then David said, “I have written [all these plans] while Yahweh was directing [MTY] me. He has enabled me to understand all the details of his plan [for the temple that is to be built].”
而してダビデ言けらく此工事の式樣は皆ことごとくヱホバのその手を我上にくだして我を敎へて書せたまひし者なりと
20 David also said to his son Solomon, “Be strong and courageous, and do this work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, because Yahweh our God will be with/helping you. He will not fail [to help] you or abandon you until you finish all the work of making his temple.
かくてダビデその子ソロモンに言けるは汝心を強くし勇みてこれを爲せ懼るる勿れ慄くなかれヱホバ神我神汝とともに在さん彼かならず汝を離れず汝を棄ず汝をしてヱホバの家の奉事の諸の工を成終しめたまふべし
21 The groups of priests and [other] descendants of Levi are ready to begin their work at the temple, and every man who has a special skill will help you in all the work. And my officials and the other people will obey you, whatever you command them to do.”
視よ神の家の諸の役事をなすためには祭司とレビ人の班列あり又諸の工と從事を悦こびて爲ところの諸の技巧者汝とともに在り且また牧伯等および一切の民汝の命ずるところを悉く行はん
