歴代誌Ⅱ 2
1 茲にソロモン、ヱホバの名のために一の家を建てまた己の國のために一の家を建んとし
And Solomon said that he would build a house to the name of the Lord, and a house for his kingdom.
2 ソロモンすなはち荷を負べき者七萬人山において木や石を斫べき者八萬人是等を監督すべき者三千六百人を數へ出せり
And Solomon gathered seventy thousand men that bore burdens, and eighty thousand hewers of stone in the mountain, and [there were] three thousand six hundred superintendents over them.
3 ソロモンまづツロの王ヒラムに人を遣して言しめけるは汝はわが父ダビデにその住むべき家を建る香柏をおくれり請ふ彼になせしごとく亦我にもせよ
And Solomon sent to Chiram king of Tyre, saying, Whereas thou didst deal [favourably] with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build for himself a house to dwell in,
4 今我わが神ヱホバの名のために一の家を建て之を聖別て彼に奉つり彼の前に馨しき香を焚き常に供前のパンを供へ燔祭を朝夕に献げまた安息日月朔ならびに我らの神ヱホバの節期などに献げんとす是はイスラエルの永く行ふべき事なればなり
behold, I also his son am building a house to the name of the Lord my God, to consecrate it to him, to burn incense before him, and [to offer] shewbread continually, and to offer up whole-burnt-offerings continually morning and evening, and on the sabbaths, and at the new moons, and at the feasts of the Lord our God: this [is] a perpetual [statute] for Israel.
5 我建る家は大なり其は我らの神は諸の神よりも大なればなり
And the house which I am building [is to be] great: for the Lord our God [is] great beyond all gods.
6 然ながら天も諸天の天も彼を容ること能はざれば誰か彼のために家を建ることを得んや我は何人ぞや爭か彼のために家を建ることを得ん唯彼の前に香を焚くためのみ
And who will be able to build him a house? for the heaven and heaven of heavens do not bear his glory: and who am I, that I should build him a house, save only to burn incense before him?
7 然ば請ふ今金銀銅鐵の細工および紫赤靑の製造に精しく雕刻の術に巧なる工人一箇を我に遣り我父ダビデが備へおきたるユダとヱルサレムのわが工人とともに操作しめよ
And now send me a man wise and skilled to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and in scarlet, and in blue, and one that knows how to grave together with the craftsmen who are with me in Juda and in Jerusalem, which materials my father David prepared.
8 請ふ汝また香柏松木および白檀をレバノンより我におくれ我なんぢの僕等がレバノンにて木を斫ることを善するを知るなり我僕また汝の僕と共に操作べし
And send me from Libanus cedar wood, and wood of juniper, and pine; for I know that thy servants are skilled in cutting timber in Libanus: and, behold, thy servants shall go with my servants,
9 是のごとくして我ために材木を多く備へしめよ其は我が建んとする家は高大を極むる者なるべければなり
to prepare timber for me in abundance: for the house which I am building [must be] great and glorious.
10 我は木を斫る汝の僕に搗麥二萬石大麥二萬石酒二萬バテ油二萬バテを與ふべしと
And, behold, I have given freely to thy servants that work and cut the wood, corn for food, [even] twenty thousand measures of wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand measures of wine, and twenty thousand measures of oil.
11 是においてツロの王ヒラム書をソロモンにおくりて之に答へて云ふヱホバその民を愛するが故に汝をもて之が王となせりと
And Chiram king of Tyre answered in writing, and sent to Solomon, saying, Because the Lord loved his people, he made thee king over them.
12 ヒラムまた言けるは天地の造主なるイスラエルの神ヱホバは讃べきかな彼はダビデ王に賢き子を與へて之に分別と才智とを賦け之をしてヱホバのために家を建てまた己の國のために家を建ることを得せしむ 今我わが達人ヒラムといふ才智ある工人一人を汝におくる
And Chiram said, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who has given to king David a wise son, and one endowed with knowledge and understanding, who shall build a house for the Lord, and a house for his kingdom.
And now I have sent thee a wise and understanding man [who belonged] to Chiram my father
14 彼はダンの子孫たる婦の產る者にて其父はツロの人なるが金銀銅鐵木石の細工および紫布靑布細布赤布の織法に精しく又能く各種の雕刻を爲し奇巧を凝して諸の工をなすなり然ば彼を用ひてなんぢの工人および汝の父わが主ダビデの工人とともに操作しめよ
(his mother [was] of the daughters of Dan, and his father [was] a Tyrian), skilled to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in stones and wood; and to weave with purple, and blue, and fine linen, and scarlet; and to engrave, and to understand every device, whatsoever thou shalt give him [to do] with thy craftsmen, and the craftsmen of my lord David thy father.
15 是については我主の宣まへる小麥大麥油および酒をその僕等に遣りたまへ
And now, the wheat, and the barley, and the oil, and the wine which my lord mentioned, let him send to his servants.
16 汝の凡て需むるごとく我らレバノンより木を斫いだしこれを筏にくみて海よりヨツバにおくるべければ汝これをヱルサレムに運びのぼりたまへと
And we will cut timber out of Libanus according to all thy need, and we will bring it on rafts to the sea of Joppa, and thou shalt bring it to Jerusalem.
17 ここにおいてソロモンその父ダビデが核數しごとくイスラエルの國にをる異邦人をことごとく核數みるに合せて十五萬三千六百人ありければ
And Solomon gathered all the foreigners that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father numbered them; and there were found a hundred and fifty-three thousand six hundred.
18 その七萬人をもて荷を負ふ者となし八萬人をもて山にて木や石を斫る者となし三千六百人をもて民を操作かしむる監督者となせり
And he made of them seventy thousand burden-bearers, and eighty thousand hewers of stone, and three thousand six hundred taskmasters over the people.
