歴代誌Ⅰ 28
1 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
David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, the captains of the companies who served the king by division, the captains of thousands, the captains of hundreds, and the rulers over all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officers and the mighty men, even all the mighty men of valour, to Jerusalem.
2 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
Then David the king stood up on his feet and said, “Hear me, my brothers and my people! As for me, it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the LORD’s covenant, and for the footstool of our God; and I had prepared for the building.
3 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
But God said to me, ‘You shall not build a house for my name, because you are a man of war and have shed blood.’
4 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
However the LORD, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever. For he has chosen Judah to be prince; and in the house of Judah, the house of my father; and amongst the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel.
5 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
Of all my sons (for the LORD has given me many sons), he has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the LORD’s kingdom over Israel.
6 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
He said to me, ‘Solomon, your son, shall build my house and my courts; for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.
7 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
I will establish his kingdom forever if he continues to do my commandments and my ordinances, as it is today.’
8 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
Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the LORD’s assembly, and in the audience of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of the LORD your God, that you may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever.
9 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
You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.
10 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
Take heed now, for the LORD has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary. Be strong, and do it.”
11 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
Then David gave to Solomon his son the plans for the porch of the temple, for its houses, for its treasuries, for its upper rooms, for its inner rooms, for the place of the mercy seat;
12 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
and the plans of all that he had by the Spirit, for the courts of the LORD’s house, for all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of God’s house, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things;
13 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
also for the divisions of the priests and the Levites, for all the work of the service of the LORD’s house, and for all the vessels of service in the LORD’s house—
14 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
of gold by weight for the gold for all vessels of every kind of service, for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all vessels of every kind of service;
15 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
by weight also for the lamp stands of gold, and for its lamps, of gold, by weight for every lamp stand and for its lamps; and for the lamp stands of silver, by weight for every lamp stand and for its lamps, according to the use of every lamp stand;
16 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
and the gold by weight for the tables of show bread, for every table; and silver for the tables of silver;
17 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
and the forks, the basins, and the cups, of pure gold; and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls by weight for every bowl;
18 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
and for the altar of incense, refined gold by weight; and gold for the plans for the chariot, and the cherubim that spread out and cover the ark of the LORD’s covenant.
19 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
“All this”, David said, “I have been made to understand in writing from the LORD’s hand, even all the works of this pattern.”
20 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
David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do it. Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD God, even my God, is with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you, until all the work for the service of the LORD’s house is finished.
21 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
Behold, there are the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of God’s house. Every willing man who has skill for any kind of service shall be with you in all kinds of work. Also the captains and all the people will be entirely at your command.”
