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 determined to build an house for the name of the LORD, and an 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 told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee 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 Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As you did deal with David my father, and did send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein, even so deal with me.
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 build an house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual showbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to 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 build is great: for great is our God above 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
But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice 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
Send me now therefore a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill to grave with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.
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
Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon: for I know that your servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and, behold, my servants shall be with your 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
Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build shall be wonderful great.
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 will give to your servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths 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
Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the LORD has loved his people, he has made you 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
Huram said moreover, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, imbued with prudence and understanding, that might build an house for the LORD, and an house for his kingdom.
And now I have sent a cunning man, imbued with understanding, of Huram my father's,
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
The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with your cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David your 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
Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, which my lord has spoken of, let him send unto 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 wood out of Lebanon, as much as you shall need: and we will bring it to you in rafts by sea to Joppa; and you shall carry it up 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 numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and 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 set threescore and ten thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and fourscore thousand to be hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people a work.
