列王記Ⅰ 6
1 イスラエルの人々がエジプトの地を出て後四百八十年、ソロモンがイスラエルの王となって第四年のジフの月すなわち二月に、ソロモンは主のために宮を建てることを始めた。
And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
2 ソロモン王が主のために建てた宮は長さ六十キュビト、幅二十キュビト、高さ三十キュビトであった。
And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the length of it was sixty cubits, and the breadth of it twenty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
3 宮の拝殿の前の廊は宮の幅にしたがって長さ二十キュビト、その幅は宮の前で十キュビトであった。
And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length of it, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth of it before the house.
4 彼は宮に、内側の広い枠の窓を造った。
And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
5 また宮の壁につけて周囲に脇屋を設け、宮の壁すなわち拝殿と本殿の壁の周囲に建てめぐらし、宮の周囲に脇間があるようにした。
And against the wall of the house he built chambers all around, against the walls of the house all around, both of the temple and of the inner sanctuary: and he made chambers all around:
6 下の脇間は広さ五キュビト、中の広さ六キュビト、第三のは広さ七キュビトであった。宮の外側には壁に段を造って、梁を宮の壁の中に差し込まないようにした。
The lowest chamber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for around the outside in the wall of the house he made narrowed rests, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house.
7 宮は建てる時に、石切り場で切り整えた石をもって造ったので、建てている間は宮のうちには、つちも、おのも、その他の鉄器もその音が聞えなかった。
And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought there: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
8 下の脇間の入口は宮の右側にあり、回り階段によって中の脇間に、中の脇間から第三の脇間にのぼった。
The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third.
9 こうして彼は宮を建て終り、香柏のたるきと板をもって宮の天井を造った。
So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.
10 また宮につけて、おのおの高さ五キュビトの脇間のある脇屋を建てめぐらし、香柏の材木をもって宮に接続させた。
And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
11 そこで主の言葉がソロモンに臨んだ、
And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,
12 「あなたが建てるこの宮については、もしあなたがわたしの定めに歩み、おきてを行い、すべての戒めを守り、それに従って歩むならば、わたしはあなたの父ダビデに約束したことを成就する。
Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spoke to David thy father:
13 そしてわたしはイスラエルの人々のうちに住み、わたしの民イスラエルを捨てることはない」。
And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
14 こうしてソロモンは宮を建て終った。
So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
15 彼は香柏の板をもって宮の壁の内側を張った。すなわち宮の床から天井のたるきまで香柏の板で張った。また、いとすぎの板をもって宮の床を張った。
And he built the walls on the inside of the house with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the panelling: and he covered them on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.
16 また宮の奥に二十キュビトの室を床から天井のたるきまで香柏の板をもって造った。すなわち宮の内に至聖所としての本堂を造った。
And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built them for it on the inside, even for the inner sanctuary, even for the most holy place.
17 宮すなわち本殿の前にある拝殿は長さ四十キュビトであった。
And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long.
18 宮の内側の香柏の板は、ひさごの形と、咲いた花を浮彫りにしたもので、みな香柏の板で、石は見えなかった。
And the cedar on the inside of the house was carved with gourds and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
19 そして主の契約の箱を置くために、宮の内の奥に本殿を設けた。
And the inner sanctuary he prepared in the inside of the house, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
20 本殿は長さ二十キュビト、幅二十キュビト、高さ二十キュビトであって、純金でこれをおおった。また香柏の祭壇を造った。
And the inner sanctuary in the forepart was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height of it: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and so covered the altar which was of cedar.
21 ソロモンは純金をもって宮の内側をおおい、本殿の前に金の鎖をもって隔てを造り、金をもってこれをおおった。
So Solomon overlaid the inside of the house with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the inner sanctuary; and he overlaid it with gold.
22 また金をもって残らず宮をおおい、ついに宮を飾ることをことごとく終えた。また本殿に属する祭壇をことごとく金でおおった。
And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that was by the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold.
23 本殿のうちにオリブの木をもって二つのケルビムを造った。その高さはおのおの十キュビト。
And within the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive tree, each ten cubits high.
24 そのケルブの一つの翼の長さは五キュビト、またそのケルブの他の翼の長さも五キュビトであった。一つの翼の端から他の翼の端までは十キュビトあった。
And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the outmost part of the one wing to the outmost part of the other were ten cubits.
25 他のケルブも十キュビトであって、二つのケルビムは同じ寸法、同じ形であった。
And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one size.
26 このケルブの高さは十キュビト、かのケルブの高さも同じであった。
The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.
27 ソロモンは宮のうちの奥にケルビムをすえた。ケルビムの翼を伸ばしたところ、このケルブの翼はこの壁に達し、かのケルブの翼はかの壁に達し、他の二つの翼は宮の中で互に触れ合った。
And he set the cherubim within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubim, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.
28 彼は金をもってそのケルビムをおおった。
And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29 彼は宮の周囲の壁に、内外の室とも皆ケルビムと、しゅろの木と、咲いた花の形の彫り物を刻み、
And he carved all the walls around the house with carved figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.
30 宮の床は、内外の室とも金でおおった。
And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.
31 本殿の入口にはオリブの木のとびらを造った。そのとびらの上のかまちと脇柱とで五辺形をなしていた。
And for the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.
32 その二つのとびらもオリブの木であって、ソロモンはその上にケルビムと、しゅろの木と、咲いた花の形を刻み、金をもっておおった。すなわちケルビムと、しゅろの木の上に金を着せた。
The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubim, and upon the palm trees.
33 こうしてソロモンはまた拝殿の入口のためにオリブの木で四角の形に脇柱を造った。
So also he made for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall.
34 その二つのとびらはいとすぎであって、一つのとびらは二つにたたむ折り戸であり、他のとびらも二つにたたむ折り戸であった。
And the two doors were of fir tree: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
35 ソロモンはその上にケルビムと、しゅろの木と、咲いた花を刻み、金をもって彫り物の上を形どおりにおおった。
And he carved on it cherubim and palm trees and open flowers: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work.
36 また切り石三かさねと、香柏の角材ひとかさねとをもって内庭を造った。
And he built the inner court with three rows of hewn stone, and a row of cedar beams.
37 第四年のジフの月に主の宮の基をすえ、
In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:
38 第十一年のブルの月すなわち八月に、宮のすべての部分が設計どおりに完成した。ソロモンはこれを建てるのに七年を要した。
And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all its parts, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.
