歴代誌Ⅰ 29

1 ダビデ王また全會衆に言けるは我子ソロモンは神の惟獨選びたまへる者なるが少くして弱く此工事は大なり此殿は人のために非ずヱホバ神のためにする者なればなり

Then King David said to everyone gathered there, “My son Solomon, chosen by God alone, is young and inexperienced, and the work to be done is great because this Temple will not be for man, but for the Lord God.

2 是をもて我力を盡して我神の家のために物を備へたり即ち金の物を作る金 銀の物の銀 銅の物の銅 鐵の物の鐵 木の物の木を備へたり又葱珩 嵌石 黑石火崗諸の寶石蝋石など夥多し

Using all my means I have provided for the house of my God—gold for the articles made of gold, silver for the silver, bronze for the bronze, iron for the iron, and wood for the wood; onyx stones and stones for settings: turquoise, different colored stones, every kind of precious stone; and plenty of marble.

3 かつまた我わが神の家を悦ぶが故に聖所のために備へたる一切の物の外にまた自己の所有なる金銀をわが神の家に献ぐ

More than this, because of my devotion to the house of my God, I'm now giving my personal fortune of gold and silver, in addition to everything that I have provided for this holy house.

4 即ちオフルの金三千タラント精銀七千タラントを献げてその家々の壁を蔽ふに供ふ

3,000 talents of gold—the gold of Ophir—and 7,000 talents of refined silver will go to cover the walls of the buildings,

5 金は金の物に銀は銀の物に凡て工人の手にて作るものに用ふべし誰か今日自ら進んでヱホバのためにその手に物を盈さんかと

gold for the gold work, and silver for the silver work, and for all the work done by the craftsmen. Now who willingly wants to commit themselves to giving to the Lord today?”

6 是において宗家の長イスラエルの支派の牧伯等千人の長百人の長および王の工事を掌どる者等誠意より献物をなせり

They gave willingly—the family leaders, those in charge of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and the officials in charge of the king's work.

7 その神の家の奉事のために献げたるものは金五千タラント一萬ダリク銀一萬タラント銅一萬八千タラント鐵十萬タラント

They gave to the service of the house of God 5,000 talents and 10,000 darics of gold, 10,000 talents of silver, 18,000 talents of bronze, and 100,000 talents of iron.

8 また寶石ある者はゲルシヨン人ヱヒエルの手に託て之を神の家の府庫に納めたり

Those who had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the Lord, under the supervision of Jehiel the Gershonite.

9 彼ら斯誠意よりみづから進んでヱホバに献げたれば民その献ぐるを喜べりダビデ王もまた大に喜びぬ

The people celebrated because their leaders had been so willing to give to the Lord, freely and wholeheartedly. King David was also really delighted.

10 茲にダビデ全會衆の前にてヱホバを頌へたりダビデの曰く我らの先祖イスラエルの神ヱホバよ汝は世々限なく頌へまつるべきなり

Then David praised the Lord before the whole assembly: “Praise to you, Lord, the God of Israel our father, for ever and ever!

11 ヱホバよ權勢と能力と榮光と光輝と威光とは汝に屬す凡て天にある者地にある者はみな汝に屬すヱホバよ國もまた汝に屬す汝は萬有の首と崇られたまふ

Lord, yours is the greatness, the power, the glory, the splendor, and the majesty, for everything in heaven and on earth is yours. Lord, yours is the kingdom, and you are admired as ruler of all.

12 富と貴とは共に汝より出づ汝は萬有を主宰たまふ汝の手には權勢と能力あり汝の手は能く一切をして大たらしめ又強くならしむるなり

Riches and honor come from you and you reign supreme. You possess power and might, and have the ability to make people great and to give strength to all.

13 然ば我儕の神よ我儕今なんぢに感謝し汝の尊き名を讃美す

Now our God we thank you, and we praise you and your glorious character.

14 但し我ら斯のごとく自ら進んで献ぐることを得たるも我は何ならんやまた我民は何ならんや萬の物は汝より出づ我らは只汝の手より受て汝に献げたるなり

But who am I, and who are my people, that we are able to give as willingly as this? For everything we have comes from you—we are only giving back what you have given us.

15 汝の前にありては我らは先祖等のごとく旅客たり寄寓者たり我らの世にある日は影のごとし望む所ある無し

In your eyes we are strangers and foreigners, just like our forefathers. Our time here on earth passes like a shadow, we have no hope of staying here long.

16 我らの神ヱホバよ汝の聖名のために汝に家を建んとて我らが備へたる此衆多の物は凡て汝の手より出づ亦皆なんぢの所有なり

Lord our God, even all this wealth that we have provided to build you a house for your holy name comes from what you give, and it all belongs to you.

17 我神よ我また知る汝は心を鑒みたまひ又正直を悦びたまふ我は正き心をもて眞實より此一切の物を献げたり今我また此にある汝の民が眞實より献物をするを見て喜悦にたへざるなり

I know, my God, that you look on the inside and are happy when we live right. Everything I have given willingly and with an honest heart, and now I have seen your people here giving happily and willingly to you.

18 我らの先祖アブラハム、イサク、イスラエルの神ヱホバよ汝の民をして此精神を何時までもその心の思念に保たしめその心を固く汝に歸せしめたまへ

Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, Israel, and our forefathers, please keep these thoughts and commitments in the minds of your people forever, and make sure they stay loyal to you.

19 又わが子ソロモンに完全心を與へ汝の誡命と汝の證言と汝の法度を守らせて之をことごとく行はせ我が備をなせるその殿を建させたまへ

Please also give my son Solomon a desire to whole-heartedly keep your commandments, decrees, and statutes, and to do all he can to build your Temple that I have provided for.”

20 ダビデまた全會衆にむかひて汝ら今なんぢらの神ヱホバを頌へよと言ければ全會衆その先祖等の神ヱホバを頌へ俯てヱホバと王とを拝せり

Then David said to everyone there, “Praise the Lord your God!” So everyone praised the Lord, the God of their fathers. They bowed down in reverence to the Lord and to the king.

21 而して其翌日に至りてイスラエルの一切の人のためにヱホバに犠牲を献げヱホバに燔祭を献げたり其牡牛一千牡羊一千羔羊一千またその灌祭と祭物夥多しかりき

The following day they presented sacrifices and burnt offerings to the Lord: one thousand bulls, one thousand rams, and one thousand lambs, with their drink offerings and plenty of sacrifices for all of Israel.

22 その日彼ら大に喜びてヱホバの前に食ひかつ飮み／さらに改めてダビデの子ソロモンを王となしヱホバの前にてこれに膏をそそぎて主君となし又ザドクを祭司となせり

Then they ate and drank in the presence of the Lord with great happiness that day. They made Solomon, the son of David, king for a second time, and they anointed him as ruler for the Lord, and anointed Zadok as priest.

23 かくてソロモンはヱホバの位に坐しその父ダビデに代りて王となりその繁榮を極むイスラエルみな之に從がふ

So Solomon took the throne of the Lord as king in place of David, his father. He was successful, and all the Israelites obeyed him.

24 また一切の牧伯等勇士等およびダビデ王の諸の子等みなソロモン王に服事す

All the officials and warriors, as well as all of King David's sons, gave a solemn promise of loyalty to King Solomon.

25 ヱホバ、イスラエルの目の前にてソロモンを甚だ大ならしめ彼より前のイスラエルの王の未だ得たること有ざる王威を之に賜へり

The Lord made Solomon highly respected throughout Israel, and gave him greater royal majesty than had been given to any king of Israel before him.

26 夫ヱツサイの子ダビデはイスラエルの全地を治めたり

So David, son of Jesse, ruled over all of Israel.

27 そのイスラエルを治めし間は四十年なり即ちヘブロンにて七年世を治めヱルサレムにて三十三年世を治めたりき

He ruled over Israel forty years—seven in Hebron, and thirty-three in Jerusalem.

28 遐齡にいたり年も富も尊貴も滿足て死り其子ソロモンこれに代りて王となる

David died at a good old age, having lived a long life, blessed with wealth and honor. Then his son Solomon took over and ruled in his place.

29 ダビデ王が始より終まで爲たる事等は先見者サムエルの書預言者ナタンの書および先見者ガドの書に記さる

Everything that King David did, from beginning to end, is written down in the Records of Samuel the Seer, the Records of Nathan the Prophet, and the Records of Gad the Seer.

30 其中にはまた彼の政治とその能力および彼とイスラエルと國々の諸の民に臨みしところの事等を載す

These include all the details of his reign, his power, and what happened to him, and to Israel, and all to the kingdoms of the neighboring countries.
