歴代誌Ⅰ 29
1 ダビデ王はまた全会衆に言った、「わが子ソロモンは神がただひとりを選ばれた者であるが、まだ若くて経験がなく、この事業は大きい。この宮は人のためではなく、主なる神のためだからである。
Then King David said to all the people who had gathered there, “My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen [to be the next king], is young and does not have much experience. This work [of building the temple] is great/important, because this glorious building will not be to [honor] people, but to honor Yahweh our God.
2 そこでわたしは力をつくして神の宮のために備えた。すなわち金の物を造るために金、銀の物のために銀、青銅の物のために青銅、鉄の物のために鉄、木の物のために木を備えた。その他縞めのう、はめ石、アンチモニイ、色のついた石、さまざまの宝石、大理石などおびただしい。
From all the things that I possess, I have provided [what will be needed] to [build] the temple of my God—the gold for the things to be made of gold, the silver for the things to be made of silver, bronze for the things to be made of bronze, iron for the things to be made of iron, wood for the things to be made of wood, and large amounts of onyx and turquoise and other valuable stones of various colors, and marble and all kinds of valuable stones.
3 なおわたしはわが神の宮に熱心なるがゆえに、聖なる家のために備えたすべての物に加えて、わたしの持っている金銀の財宝をわが神の宮にささげる。
In addition to all these things that I have given for the temple, I am giving treasures of gold and silver, because I very much desire that this holy temple for my God be built.
4 すなわちオフルの金三千タラント、精銀七千タラントをそのもろもろの建物の壁をおおうためにささげる。
I am giving 110 tons of gold from Ophir and 260 tons of refined silver to cover the walls of the buildings,
5 金は金の物のために、銀は銀の物のために、すべて工人によって造られるもののために用いる。だれかきょう、主にその身をささげる者のように喜んでささげ物をするだろうか」。
for making the other items of gold and silver, and for the other work to be done by the craftsmen. So now, [I ask you], are there others willing to show [by contributing other gifts for the building of the temple] [EUP] that they have dedicated themselves to Yahweh?”
6 そこで氏族の長たち、イスラエルの部族のつかさたち、千人の長、百人の長および王の工事をつかさどる者たちは喜んでささげ物をした。
Then the leaders of the families/clans, the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of 1,000 soldiers and the commanders of 100 soldiers, and the officials who supervised the work that the king wanted done, gave gifts (willingly/because they wanted to give them).
7 こうして彼らは神の宮の務のために金五千タラント一万ダリク、銀一万タラント、青銅一万八千タラント、鉄十万タラントをささげた。
For the work at the temple they gave 190 tons and (185 pounds/84 kg.) of gold, 375 tons of silver, 675 tons of bronze, and 3,750 tons of iron.
8 宝石を持っている者はそれをゲルションびとエヒエルの手によって神の宮の倉に納めた。
And any people who owned valuable stones gave them to be put in the storeroom of the temple. Jehiel, a descendant of Gershon, was appointed to be in charge of them.
9 彼らがこのように真心からみずから進んで主にささげたので、民はそのみずから進んでささげたのを喜んだ。ダビデ王もまた大いに喜んだ。
The people were happy to see that their leaders wanted to give those things, because [they knew that] their leaders were happy and enthusiastic to give those things to Yahweh. And King David also was very happy.
10 そこでダビデは全会衆の前で主をほめたたえた。ダビデは言った、「われわれの先祖イスラエルの神、主よ、あなたはとこしえにほむべきかたです。
Then, while all the people there were listening, David prayed, saying, “We praise you, Yahweh, the God whom our ancestor Jacob worshiped. We will praise you forever!
11 主よ、大いなることと、力と、栄光と、勝利と、威光とはあなたのものです。天にあるもの、地にあるものも皆あなたのものです。主よ、国もまたあなたのものです。あなたは万有のかしらとして、あがめられます。
You alone are great and powerful; only you are truly glorious and majestic and wonderful. [And that is true] because everything in heaven and on the earth is yours. You are the king of all the people in this world; you are the ruler of everything.
12 富と誉とはあなたから出ます。あなたは万有をつかさどられます。あなたの手には勢いと力があります。あなたの手はすべてのものを大いならしめ、強くされます。
Because you are very powerful [DOU], you are able to cause anyone to be great and strong.
13 われわれの神よ、われわれは、いま、あなたに感謝し、あなたの光栄ある名をたたえます。
So now, our God, we thank you, and we praise you [MTY] for being very great.
14 しかしわれわれがこのように喜んでささげることができても、わたしは何者でしょう。わたしの民は何でしょう。すべての物はあなたから出ます。われわれはあなたから受けて、あなたにささげたのです。
But my people and I are not really able to give anything to you, because everything [that we have] comes from you, and what we have given to you are only the things that we have received from you [MTY].
15 われわれはあなたの前ではすべての先祖たちのように、旅びとです、寄留者です。われわれの世にある日は影のようで、長くとどまることはできません。
[In this land] we are like [MET] foreigners and strangers, like our ancestors were. Our time here on this earth is like [SIM] a shadow [that disappears quickly]; [we know that there is] nothing [that] can enable us [to escape dying].
16 われわれの神、主よ、あなたの聖なる名のために、あなたに家を建てようとしてわれわれが備えたこの多くの物は皆あなたの手から出たもの、また皆あなたのものです。
Yahweh our God, we have gathered all these things to use in building your [MTY] temple, but all of it really belongs to you, and you have given it to us [MTY].
17 わが神よ、あなたは心をためし、また正直を喜ばれることを、わたしは知っています。わたしは正しい心で、このすべての物を喜んでささげました。今わたしはまた、ここにおるあなたの民が喜んで、みずから進んであなたにささげ物をするのを見ました。
My God, I know that you test us people, and you are pleased if you find out that we do what is right. All these things I have given to you because I wanted to. And now I have seen that your people have also joyfully and generously given things to you.
18 われわれの先祖アブラハム、イサク、イスラエルの神、主よ、あなたの民の心にこの意志と精神とをいつまでも保たせ、その心をあなたに向けさせてください。
Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob worshiped, I desire/hope that your people will continue to desire [to do things like this] forever, and that they will always be loyal to you.
19 またわが子ソロモンに心をつくしてあなたの命令と、あなたのあかしと、あなたのさだめとを守らせて、これをことごとく行わせ、わたしが備えをした宮を建てさせてください」。
And now, please enable my son Solomon to faithfully and sincerely [DOU] obey your commands and laws and decrees [DOU] and to do everything that is needed to build this beautiful building for which I have provided [all these things].”
20 そしてダビデが全会衆にむかって、「あなたがたの神、主をほめたたえよ」と言ったので、全会衆は先祖たちの神、主をほめたたえ、伏して主を拝し、王に敬礼した。
Then David said to all the people who were gathered there, “Praise Yahweh our God!” So they all praised Yahweh the God whom their ancestors ([also worshiped/belonged to]). They prostrated themselves on the ground in front of Yahweh and in front of the king.
21 そしてその翌日彼らは全イスラエルのために主に犠牲をささげた。すなわち燔祭として雄牛一千、雄羊一千、小羊一千をその灌祭と共に主にささげ、おびただしい犠牲をささげた。
The next day the people offered sacrifices to Yahweh. They presented many animals to be completely burned [on the altar]: 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams, 1,000 male sheep, plus offerings of wine, and many other sacrifices on behalf of all [the people of] Israel.
22 そしてその日、彼らは大いなる喜びをもって主の前に食い飲みした。彼らはさらに改めてダビデの子ソロモンを王となし、これに油を注いで主の君となし、またザドクを祭司とした。
On that day the people were joyful and ate and drank while Yahweh was watching. Then for the second time they declared that Solomon was now the king. While Yahweh was watching, they anointed him [with olive oil] to be the king, and they anointed Zadok to be the Supreme Priest.
23 こうしてソロモンはその父ダビデに代り、王として主の位に座した。彼は栄え、イスラエルは皆彼に従った。
So Solomon sat on the throne [because Yahweh wanted him to be] the king to succeed his father David. [During the following years] Solomon prospered, and all the Israeli people obeyed him.
24 またすべてのつかさたち、勇士たち、およびダビデ王の王子たちも皆ソロモン王に忠誠を誓った。
King David’s other sons and all the officers and mighty warriors accepted Solomon as their king, and they solemnly promised to obey him.
25 主は全イスラエルの目の前でソロモンを非常に大いならしめ、彼より前のイスラエルのどの王も得たことのない王威を彼に与えられた。
Yahweh caused Solomon to be highly respected by all the Israeli people, and they honored him very much. No king of Israel was honored as much as Solomon was.
26 このようにエッサイの子ダビデは全イスラエルを治めた。
Jesse’s son David was the king who ruled all of Israel.
27 彼がイスラエルを治めた期間は四十年であった。すなわちヘブロンで七年世を治め、エルサレムで三十三年世を治めた。
He ruled for 40 years: Seven years in Hebron [city] and 33 years in Jerusalem.
28 彼は高齢に達し、年も富も誉も満ち足りて死んだ。その子ソロモンが彼に代って王となった。
He became an old man who was very rich and greatly honored by all the people. Then he died, and his son Solomon became the king [of Israel].
29 ダビデ王の始終の行為は、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しるされている。
A record of all the things that King David did while he ruled, from the beginning to the end, was put on scrolls written by the prophets Samuel, Nathan, and Gad.
30 そのうちには彼のすべての政と、その力および彼とイスラエルと他のすべての国々に臨んだ事どもをしるしている。
They told about his powerful rule [HEN], and all the things that happened to him and to the people of Israel and in the nearby kingdoms [while he was ruling Israel].
