列王記Ⅰ 11
1 ソロモン王パロの女の外に多の外國の婦を寵愛せり即ちモアブ人アンモニ人エドミ人シドン人ヘテ人の婦を寵愛せり
King Solomon married many foreign women. First he married the daughter of the king of Egypt. He also married women from the Heth people-group and from the Moab, Ammon, and Edom people-groups, and from Sidon [city].
2 ヱホバ曾て是等の國民についてイスラエルの子孫に言たまひけらく爾等は彼等と交るべからず彼等も亦爾等と交るべからず彼等必ず爾等の心を轉して彼等の神々に從はしめんとしかるにソロモン彼等を愛して離れざりき
He married them even though Yahweh had commanded the Israeli people, “Do not marry people from those areas, because if you do that, they will surely persuade you [IDM] to worship the gods that they worship!”
3 彼妃公主七百人嬪三百人あり其妃等彼の心を轉せり
Solomon married 700 women who were kings’ daughters. He also had 300 wives who were his slaves/servants. And his wives caused him to turn away [from worshiping God].
4 ソロモンの年老たる時妃等其心を轉移して他の神に從はしめければ彼の心其父ダビデの心の如く其神ヱホバに全からざりき
By the time that Solomon became old, they had persuaded him to worship the gods from their countries. He was not completely dedicated/committed to Yahweh his God like his father [SYN] David had been.
5 其はソロモン、シドン人の神アシタロテに從ひアンモニ人の惡むべき者なるモロクに從ひたればなり
Solomon worshiped Astarte, the goddess that the people of Sidon [worshiped], and he worshiped Molech, the disgusting god that the Ammon people-group [worshiped].
6 ソロモン斯ヱホバの目のまへに惡を行ひ其父ダビデの如く全くはヱホバに從はざりき
That’s how Solomon did things that Yahweh said were evil. He did not conduct his life like his father David had done; he did not conduct his life as Yahweh wanted him to.
7 爰にソロモン、モアブの憎むべき者なるケモシの爲又アンモンの子孫の憎むべき者なるモロクのためにエルサレムの前なる山に崇邱を築けり
On the hill to the east of Jerusalem he built a place to worship Chemosh, the disgusting god that the Moab people-group [worshiped], and a place to worship Molech, the disgusting god that the Ammon people-group [worshiped].
8 彼又其異邦の凡の妃の爲にも然せしかば彼等は香を焚て己々の神を祭れり
He also built places where all his foreign wives could burn incense and offer sacrifices to the gods from their own countries.
9 ソロモンの心轉りてイスラエルの神ヱホバを離れしによりてヱホバ彼を怒りたまふヱホバ嘗て兩次彼に顯れ
Even though Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worshiped], had appeared to Solomon two times, and had commanded him to not worship foreign gods, Solomon refused to obey Yahweh. So Yahweh was angry with Solomon,
10 此事に付て彼に他の神に從ふべからずと命じたまひけるに彼ヱホバの命じたまひし事を守らざりしなり
11 ヱホバ、ソロモンに言たまひけるは此事爾にありしに因り又汝わが契約とわが爾に命じたる法憲を守らざりしに因て我必ず爾より國を裂きはなして之を爾の臣僕に與ふべし
and said to him, “You have chosen to break the agreement that I made with you and to disobey what I commanded you. So I am surely not going to allow you to rule all of your kingdom. I am going to allow one of your officials to rule it.
12 然ど爾の父ダビデの爲に爾の世には之を爲ざるべし我爾の子の手より之を裂きはなさん
But, because of [what I promised] your father David, I will allow you to rule all your kingdom while you are still [living]. [After you die], I will not allow your son to rule the whole kingdom [MTY].
13 但し我は國を盡くは裂きはなさずしてわが僕ダビデのために又わが選みたるエルサレムのために一の支派を爾の子に與へんと
But I will not take all the kingdom away from him. Instead, I will allow him to rule one tribe [besides the tribe of Judah], because of what I promised to David, who served me [well], and because [I want David’s descendants to rule in] Jerusalem, [where my temple is located].”
14 是に於てヱホバ、エドミ人ハダデを興してソロモンの敵と爲したまふ彼はエドム王の裔なり
Yahweh caused Hadad, from the family of the kings in the Edom people-group, to rebel against Solomon.
15 曩にダビデ、エドムに事ありし時軍の長ヨアブ上りて其戰死せし者を葬りエドムの男を盡く撃殺しける時に方りて
What happened was that previously, when David’s [army] had conquered the Edom people-group, his army commander Joab had gone there to [help] bury the [Israeli soldiers] who had been killed [in the battle]. Joab and his army remained in the Edom area for six months, and during that time they killed all the males of that area.
16 (ヨアブはエドムの男を盡く絶までイスラエルの群衆と偕に六月其處に止れり)
17 ハダデ其父の僕なる數人のエドミ人と共に逃てエジブトに往んとせり時にハダデは尚小童子なりき
Hadad was a young child [at that time], and he had escaped to Egypt, along with some of his father’s servants from the Edom area.
18 彼等ミデアンを起出てバランに至りパランより人を伴ひてエジプトに往きエジプトの王パロに詣るにバロ彼に家を與へ食糧を定め且土地を與へたり
They [went to the] Midian [region], and then they went to [the desert area at] Paran. Some other men joined them there. Then they all traveled to Egypt and went to see the king of Egypt. The king gave Hadad some land and ordered his servants to give him some food regularly.
19 ハダデ大にパロの心にかなひしかばパロ己の妻の妹即ち王妃タペネスの妹を彼に妻せり
The king liked Hadad. As a result he gave him the sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, to be Hadad’s wife.
20 タペネスの妹彼に男子ゲヌバテを生ければタペネス之をパロの家の中にて乳離せしむゲヌバテ、パロの家にてパロの子の中にありき
Later Hadad’s wife gave birth to a son named Genubath. The sister of Tahpenes (raised him/brought him up) in the palace, where he lived with the king’s sons.
21 ハダデ、エジプトに在てダビデの其先祖と偕に寝りたると軍の長ヨアブの死たるを聞しかばハダデ、パロに言けるは我を去しめてわが國に往しめよと
While Hadad was in Egypt, he heard that David had died [EUP], and that Joab, the commander of David’s army, was also dead. So he said to the king of Egypt, “Please allow me to return to my own country.”
22 パロ彼にいひけるは爾我とともにありて何の缺たる處ありてか爾の國に往ん事を求むる彼言ふ何も無し然どもねがはくは我を去しめよ去しめよ
But the king said to him, “Why do you want to go back to your country? Is there something that you lack that you want me to give to you?” Hadad replied, “No, but please just allow me to go.” [So the king allowed him to leave, and he returned to his own country and became the king of Edom].
23 神父エリアダの子レゾンを興してソロモンの敵となせり彼は其主人ゾバの王ハダデゼルの許を逃さりたる者なり
God also caused another man named Rezon, the son of Eliada, to rebel against Solomon. Rezon had run away from his master, King Hadadezer of [the] Zobah [area north of Damascus].
24 ダビデがゾバの人を殺したる時に彼人を自己に集めて一隊の首領となりしが彼等ダマスコに往て彼處に住みダマスコを治めたり
Rezon then became the leader of a group of outlaws. That happened after David’s [army had defeated Hadadezer and] had [also] killed all [his soldiers]. Rezon and his men went to Damascus and started to live there, and [the people there] appointed him to be their king.
25 ハダデが爲たる害の外にレゾン、ソロモンの一生の間イスラエルの敵となれり彼イステエルを惡みてスリアに王たりき
All during the time that Solomon was alive, while Rezon was ruling [not only Damascus but all of] Syria, he was an enemy of Israel and caused trouble for Israel like Hadad did.
26 ゼレダのヱフラタ人ネバテの子ヤラベアムはソロモンの僕なりしが其母の名はゼルヤと曰て嫠婦なりき彼も亦其手を擧て王に敵す
Another man who rebelled against [IDM] Solomon was one of his officials named Jeroboam, the son of Nebat. He was from Zeredah [town] in [the region where the tribe of] Ephraim [lives]. His mother was a widow named Zeruah.
27 彼が手を擧て王に敵せし故は此なりソロモン、ミロを築き其父ダビデの城の損缺を塞ぎ居たり
This is what happened. Solomon’s workers were filling in the land/ground on the east side of Jerusalem and repairing the walls [around the city].
28 其人ヤラベアムは大なる能力ある者なりしかばソロモン此少者が事に勤むるを見て之を立てヨセフの家の凡の役を督どらしむ
Jeroboam was a very capable young man. So, when Solomon saw that he worked very hard, he appointed him to supervise all the men who were forced to work in the areas where the tribes of Manasseh and Ephraim live.
29 其頃ヤラベアム、エルサレムを出し時シロ人なる預言者アヒヤ路にて彼に遭へり彼は新しき衣服を著ゐたりしが彼等二人のみ野にありき
One day when Jeroboam was walking alone along the road outside of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh [city] met him. Ahijah was wearing a new robe,
30 アヒヤ其著たる新しき衣服を執へて之を十二片に裂き
which he took off and tore into twelve pieces.
31 ヤラベアムに言けるは爾自ら十片を取れイスラエルの神ヱホバ斯言たまふ視よ我國をソロモンの手より裂きはなして爾に十の支派を與へん
He said to Jeroboam, “Take ten of these pieces for yourself, because Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says to you, ‘I am going to tear the kingdom from Solomon, and I am going to enable you to become the ruler of ten of the tribes [of Israel].
32 (但し彼はわが僕ダビデの故に因り又わがイスラエルの凡の支派の中より選みたる城エルサレムの故に因りて一の支派を有つべし)
Solomon’s [descendants] will still rule one tribe (OR, two tribes), because of [what I promised] David, a man who served me [very well], and because of Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen from all the cities in Israel [to be the city where my people will worship me].
33 其は彼等我を棄てシドン人の神アシタロテとモアブの神ケモシとアンモンの子孫の神モロクを拝み其父ダビデの如くわが道に歩てわが目に適ふ事わが法ととわが律例を行はざればなり
I am going to do this because Solomon has rejected me and has been worshiping Astarte, the goddess that the people of Sidon worship, Chemosh, the god that the Moab people-group worship, and Milcom, the god that the Ammon people-group worship. He has not conducted his life as I wanted him to. He has not obeyed my statutes and laws, like his father David did.
34 然ども我は國を盡くは彼の手より取ざるべし我が選みたるわが僕ダビデわが命令とわが法憲を守りたるに因て我彼が爲にソロモンを一生の間主たらしむべし
‘But I will not take the entire kingdom away from him. I will enable him to rule [Judah] all during the years that he is alive. I will do that because of [what I promised to do for] David, whom I chose [to be the king], and who served me [well], and who always obeyed my commandments and laws.
35 然ど我其子の手より國を取て其十の支派を爾に與へん
But I will take the [other] ten tribes of his kingdom and give them to you [to rule].
36 其子には我一の支派を與へてわが僕ダビデをしてわが己の名を置んとてわがために擇みたる城エルサレムにてわが前に常に一の光明を有しめん
I will allow Solomon’s son to rule one tribe, in order that descendants [MET] of David will always rule in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen to be the place where [my people worship] me [MTY].
37 我爾を取ん爾は凡て爾の心の望む所を治めイスラエルの上に王となるべし
I will enable you to become the king of Israel, and you will rule over all the territory that you want to.
38 爾若わが爾に命ずる凡の事を聽て吾が道に歩みわが目に適ふ事を爲しわが僕ダビデが爲し如く我が法憲と誡命を守らば我爾と偕にありてわがダビデのために建しごとく爾のために鞏固き家を建てイスラエルを爾に與ふべし
If you obey all that I command you to do, and conduct your life as I want you to, and if you do what I say is right by obeying my laws and commandments like David did, I will help you. I will make sure that your descendants will rule after you [die], like I [promised to] do for David.
39 我之がためにダビデの裔を苦めんされど永遠には非じと
Because of [Solomon’s sins], I will punish David’s descendants, but I will not continue to punish them forever.’”
40 ソロモン、ヤラベアムを殺さんと求めければヤラベアム起てエジプトに逃遁れエジプトの王シシヤクに至りてソロモンの死ぬるまでエジプトに居たり
Solomon [found out what Ahijah told Jeroboam], so he tried to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam escaped and went to Egypt. He went to Shishak, the king of Egypt, and stayed with him until after Solomon died.
41 ソロモンの其餘の行爲と凡て彼が爲たる事および其智慧はソロモンの行爲の書に記さるるにあらすや
[A record of] all the other things that Solomon did, and all the wise things that he [said and wrote], was written in the Book Telling what Solomon Did.
42 ソロモンのエルサレムにてイスラエルの全地を治めたる日は四十年なりき
He was the king in Jerusalem who ruled over all of Israel for 40 years.
43 ソロモン其父祖と偕に寝りて其父ダビデの城に葬らる其子レハベアム之に代て王となれり
Then Solomon died [EUP], and was buried in the [part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. And his son Rehoboam became the king.
