1 Kings 8
1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, all the heads of the tribes, and the leaders of the families of the people of Israel, before himself in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh from the city of David, that is, Zion.
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 All the men of Israel assembled before King Solomon at the feast, in the month of Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
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 All the elders of Israel came, and 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 They brought up the ark of Yahweh, the tent of meeting, and all the holy furnishings that were in the tent. The priests and the Levites brought these things 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 King Solomon and all the assembly of Israel came together before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted.
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 The priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to its place, into the inner room of the house, to the most holy place, under 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 out their wings to the place of the ark, and they covered the ark and the poles by which it was carried.
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 were so long that their ends were seen from the holy place in front of the inner room, but they could not be seen from outside. 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 tablets of stone that Moses had put there at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the people of Israel when they came 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 It came about that when the priests came out of the holy place, the cloud filled the temple of Yahweh.
斯て祭司聖所より出けるに雲ヱホバの家に盈たれば
11 The priests could not stand to serve because of the cloud, for the glory of Yahweh filled his house.
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 said, “Yahweh has said that he would live in thick darkness,
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 But I have built you a lofty residence, a place for you to live in 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 Then the king turned around and blessed all the assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing.
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 He said, “May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised, who spoke to David my father, and has fulfilled it with his own hands, 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 that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house, in order for my name to be there. However, I chose David to rule 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 David my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh, 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 Yahweh said to David my father, 'In that it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well for it to be 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 will not build the house; instead, your son, one who will be born from your loins, 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 Yahweh has carried out the word that he had said, for I have arisen in the place of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised. I have built the house for the name of Yahweh, 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 I have made a place for the ark there, in which is Yahweh's covenant, which 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 Solomon stood before the altar of Yahweh, before all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward the heavens.
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 He said, “Yahweh, God of Israel, there is no God like you in the heavens above or on the earth below, who keeps his covenant faithfulness with your servants who walk before you with all their heart;
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 who have kept with your servant David my father, what you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is today.
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 Now then, Yahweh, God of Israel, carry out what you have promised to your servant David my father, when you said, 'You will not fail to have a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your descendants are careful to walk before me, as you have walked before me.'
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 Now then, God of Israel, let your word be confirmed, which you have spoken to your servant David my father.
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 actually live on the earth? Look, the entire universe and heaven itself cannot contain you—how much less can this temple that 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 please respect this prayer of your servant and his request, Yahweh my God; listen to the cry and prayer that your servant prays 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, to the place about which you have said, 'My name and my presence will be there'—in order to listen to the prayers that your servant will pray 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 So listen to the request of your servant and of your people Israel when we pray toward this place. Yes, listen from the place where you live, from the heavens; and when you listen, 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 If a man sins against his neighbor and is required to swear an oath, and if he comes and swears an oath before your altar in this house,
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 listen from the heavens and act. Judge your servants, condemning the guilty and bringing what he has done upon his own head. Declare the innocent not guilty and give to 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 by an enemy because they have sinned against you, if they turn back to you, confess your name, pray, and request forgiveness from 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 please listen in the heavens and forgive the sin of your people Israel; bring them back to the land that you gave to their ancestors.
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 up and there is no rain because the people have sinned against you—if they pray toward this place, confess your name, and turn from their sin when 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 listen in heaven and forgive the sin of your servants and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk. Send rain on your land, which you have given to 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 Suppose there is famine in the land, or suppose that there is disease, blight or mildew, locusts or caterpillars; or suppose that an enemy attacks the city gates in their land, or that there is any plague or sickness—
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 and suppose then that prayers and requests are made by a person or by all your people Israel—each knowing the plague in his own heart as he spreads 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 Then listen from heaven, the place where you live, forgive and act, and reward every person for all he does; you know his heart, because you and you only know the hearts of all human beings.
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 Do this so that they may fear you all the days that they live on the land that you gave to our ancestors.
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 In addition, concerning the foreigner who does not belong to your people Israel: When he comes from a distant country 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, your mighty hand, and your raised 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 please listen from heaven, the place where you live, and do whatever the foreigner asks of you. Do this so that all the peoples on earth may know your name and fear you, as do your own people Israel. Do this so they might 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 Suppose that your people go out to battle against an enemy, by whatever way you may send them, and suppose that they pray to you, Yahweh, toward the city that you have chosen, and toward the house that 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 listen in the heavens to their prayer and their request, and help 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 Suppose that they sin against you, since there is no one who does not sin, and suppose that you are angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, so that the enemy takes them away captive to their land, whether distant 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 Then suppose that they realize they are in the land where they have been exiled, and suppose that they repent and seek favor from you from the land of their captors. Suppose that they say, 'We have acted perversely and sinned. We have behaved 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 Suppose that they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who captured them, and suppose that they pray to you toward their land, which you gave to their ancestors, and toward the city that you chose, and toward the house that 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 from heaven, the place where you live, listen to their prayer and their request for help, and you will make matters right for them.
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 Forgive your people who have sinned against you, and all their transgressions that they have committed against you, and make them objects of compassion before their conquerors, and cause their conquerors to have compassion on them.
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 They are your people whom you have chosen, whom you rescued out of Egypt as if from the middle of a furnace where iron is forged.
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 request of your servant and to the requests of your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they cry 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 separated them from among all the peoples of the earth to belong to you and receive your promises, just as you explained by Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, Lord Yahweh.”
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 So it was that when Solomon had finished praying all this prayer and request to Yahweh, he arose from before the altar of Yahweh, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread out toward the heavens.
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 He stood and blessed all the 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 “May Yahweh be praised, who has given rest to his people Israel, keeping all his promises. Not one word has failed out of all Yahweh's good promises that he made with Moses his servant.
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 Yahweh our God be with us, as he was with our ancestors. May he never leave us or 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 that he may incline our hearts to him, to live in all his ways and keep his commandments and his regulations and his statutes, which 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 Let these words I have spoken, by which I have made request before Yahweh, be near Yahweh our God day and night, so that he may help the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel, as every day will require;
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 that all the peoples of the earth may know that Yahweh, he is God, and there is no other God!
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 Therefore let your heart be true to Yahweh our God, to walk in his statutes and keep his commandments, as on this day.”
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 So the king and all Israel with him offered sacrifices to Yahweh.
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 Solomon offered a sacrifice of fellowship offerings to Yahweh: twenty-two thousand oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the people of Israel dedicated the house of Yahweh.
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 The same day the king set apart the middle of the courtyard in front of the temple of Yahweh, for there he offered the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat of the fellowship offerings, because the bronze altar that was before Yahweh was too small to receive the burnt offering, the grain offerings, and the fat of the fellowship 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 Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from Lebo Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before Yahweh our God for seven days and also for another seven days, a total of fourteen days.
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 eighth day he sent the people away, and they blessed the king and went to their homes with joyful and glad hearts for all the goodness that Yahweh had shown to David, his servant, and to Israel, his people.
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
