2 Chronicles 8
1 At the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the LORD’s house and his own house,
ソロモンは二十年を経て、主の家と自分の家とを建て終った。
2 Solomon built the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
またソロモンはヒラムから送られた町々を建て直して、そこにイスラエルの人々を住ませた。
3 Solomon went to Hamath Zobah, and prevailed against it.
ソロモンはまたハマテ・ゾバを攻めて、これを取った。
4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the storage cities, which he built in Hamath.
彼はまた荒野にタデモルを建て、もろもろの倉の町をハマテに建てた。
5 Also he built Beth Horon the upper and Beth Horon the lower, fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars;
また城壁、門、貫の木のある堅固な町、上ベテホロンと下ベテホロンを建てた。
6 and Baalath, and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
ソロモンはまたバアラテと自分のもっていたすべての倉の町と、すべての戦車の町と、騎兵の町、ならびにエルサレム、レバノンおよび自分の治める全地方に建てようと望んだものを、ことごとく建てた。
7 As for all the people who were left of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel—
すべてイスラエルの子孫でないヘテびと、アモリびと、ペリジびと、ヒビびと、エブスびとの残った民、
8 of their children who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel didn’t consume—of them Solomon conscripted forced labor to this day.
その地にあって彼らのあとに残ったその子孫、すなわちイスラエルの子孫が滅ぼし尽さなかった民に、ソロモンは強制徴募をおこなって今日に及んでいる。
9 But of the children of Israel, Solomon made no servants for his work, but they were men of war, chief of his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.
しかし、イスラエルの人々をソロモンはその工事のためには、ひとりも奴隷としなかった。彼らは兵士となり、将校となり、戦車と、騎兵の長となった。
10 These were the chief officers of King Solomon, even two-hundred fifty, who ruled over the people.
これらはソロモン王のおもな官吏で、二百五十人あり、民を治めた。
11 Solomon brought up Pharaoh’s daughter out of David’s city to the house that he had built for her; for he said, “My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places where the LORD’s ark has come are holy.”
ソロモンはパロの娘をダビデの町から連れ上って、彼女のために建てた家に入れて言った、「主の箱を迎えた所は神聖であるから、わたしの妻はイスラエルの王ダビデの家に住んではならない」。
12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the LORD’s altar which he had built before the porch,
ソロモンは廊の前に築いておいた主の祭壇の上で主に燔祭をささげた。
13 even as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, three times per year, during the feast of unleavened bread, during the feast of weeks, and during the feast of booths.
すなわちモーセの命令に従って、毎日定めのようにささげ、安息日、新月および年に三度の祭、すなわち種入れぬパンの祭、七週の祭、仮庵の祭にこれをささげた。
14 He appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the divisions of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their offices, to praise and to minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required, the doorkeepers also by their divisions at every gate, for David the man of God had so commanded.
ソロモンは、その父ダビデのおきてに従って、祭司の組を定めてその職に任じ、またレビびとをその勤めに任じて、毎日定めのように祭司の前でさんびと奉仕をさせ、また門を守る者に、その組にしたがって、もろもろの門を守らせた。これは神の人ダビデがこのように命じたからである。
15 They didn’t depart from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter or concerning the treasures.
祭司とレビびとはすべての事につき、また倉の事について、王の命令にそむかなかった。
16 Now all the work of Solomon was accomplished from the day of the foundation of the LORD’s house until it was finished. So the LORD’s house was completed.
このようにソロモンは、主の宮の基をすえた日からこれをなし終えたときまで、その工事の準備をことごとくなしたので、主の宮は完成した。
17 Then Solomon went to Ezion Geber and to Eloth, on the seashore in the land of Edom.
それからソロモンはエドムの地の海べにあるエジオン・ゲベルおよびエロテへ行った。
18 Huram sent him ships and servants who had knowledge of the sea by the hands of his servants; and they came with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and brought from there four hundred fifty talents of gold, and brought them to King Solomon.
時にヒラムはそのしもべどもの手によって船団を彼に送り、また海の事になれたしもべどもをつかわしたので、彼らはソロモンのしもべらと共にオフルへ行き、そこから金四百五十タラントを取って、これをソロモン王のもとに携えてきた。
