歴代誌Ⅱ 4

1 ソロモンはまた青銅の祭壇を造った。その長さ二十キュビト、幅二十キュビト、高さ十キュビトである。

Then he made a brass altar, twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high.

2 彼はまた海を鋳て造った。縁から縁まで十キュビトであって、周囲は円形をなし、高さ五キュビトで、その周囲は綱をもって測ると三十キュビトあった。

And he made the great water-vessel of metal, round in form, measuring ten cubits across from edge to edge; it was five cubits high and thirty cubits round.

3 海の下には三十キュビトの周囲をめぐるひさごの形があって、海の周囲を囲んでいた。そのひさごは二並びで、海を鋳る時に鋳たものである。

And under it was a design of flowers all round it, ten to a cubit, circling the water-vessel in two lines; they were made from liquid metal at the same time as the water-vessel.

4 その海は十二の牛の上に置かれ、その三つは北に向かい、三つは西に向かい、三つは南に向かい、三つは東に向かっていた。海はその上に置かれ、牛のうしろはみな内に向かっていた。

It was supported on twelve oxen, three facing to the north, three to the west, three to the south, and three to the east, the water-vessel resting on top of them; their back parts were all turned to the middle of it.

5 海の厚さは手の幅で、その縁は杯の縁のように、ゆりの花に似せて造られた。海には水を三千バテ入れることができた。

It was as thick as a man's open hand, and the edge of it was curved like the edge of a cup, like a lily flower; it would take three thousand baths.

6 彼はまた物を洗うために洗盤十個を造って、五個を南側に、五個を北側に置いた。その中で燔祭に用いるものを洗った。しかし海は祭司がその中で身を洗うためであった。

And he made ten washing-vessels, putting five on the right side and five on the left; such things as were used in making the burned offering were washed in them; but the great water-vessel was to be used by the priests for washing themselves.

7 彼はまた金の燭台十個をその定めに従って造り、拝殿の中の南側に五個、北側に五個を置き、

And he made the ten gold supports for the lights, as directions had been given for them, and he put them in the Temple, five on the right side and five on the left.

8 また机十個を造り、神殿の中の南側に五個、北側に五個を置き、また金の鉢百を造った。

He made ten tables, and put them in the Temple, five on the right side and five on the left. And he made a hundred gold basins.

9 彼はまた祭司の庭と大庭および庭の戸を造り、その戸を青銅でおおった。

Then he made the open space for the priests, and the great open space and its doors, plating the doors with brass.

10 彼は海を宮の東南のすみにすえた。

He put the great water-vessel on the right side of the house to the east, facing south.

11 ヒラムはまたつぼと十能と鉢とを造った。こうしてヒラムはソロモン王のため、神の宮の工事を終えた。

And Huram made all the pots and the spades and the basins. So he came to the end of all the work he did for King Solomon in the house of God:

12 すなわち二本の柱と玉と、柱の頂にある二つの柱頭と、柱の頂にある柱頭の二つの玉をおおう二つの網細工と、

The two pillars, and the two crowns on the tops of the pillars, and the network covering the two cups of the crowns on the tops of the pillars;

13 その二つの網細工のためのざくろ四百、このざくろはおのおの網細工に二並びにつけて、柱の頂にある柱頭の二つの玉を巻いていた。

And the four hundred apples for the network, two lines of apples for the network covering the two cups of the crowns on the pillars.

14 彼はまた台と台の上の洗盤と、

And he made the ten bases and the ten washing-vessels which were on the bases;

15 一つの海とその下の十二の牛を造った。

The great water-vessel with the twelve oxen under it.

16 つぼ、十能、肉さしなどすべてこれらの器物を、達人ヒラムはソロモン王のため、主の宮のために、光のある青銅で造った。

All the pots and the spades and the meat-hooks and their vessels, which Huram, who was as his father, made for King Solomon for the house of the Lord, were of polished brass.

17 王はヨルダンの低地で、スコテとゼレダの間の粘土の地でこれを鋳た。

The king made them of liquid metal in the lowland of Jordan, in the soft earth between Succoth and Zeredah.

18 このようにソロモンはこれらのすべての器物を非常に多く造ったので、その青銅の重量は、量ることができなかった。

So Solomon made all these vessels, a very great store of them, and the weight of the brass used was not measured.

19 こうしてソロモンは神の宮のすべての器物を造った。すなわち金の祭壇と、供えのパンを載せる机、

And Solomon made all the vessels used in the house of God, the gold altar and the tables on which the holy bread was placed,

20 また定めのように本殿の前で火をともす純金の燭台と、そのともしび皿を造った。

And the supports for the lights with their lights, to be burning in the regular way in front of the inmost room, of the best gold;

21 その花、ともしび皿、心かきは精金であった。

The flowers and the vessels for the lights and the instruments used for them, were all of gold; it was the best gold.

22 また心切りばさみ、鉢、香の杯、心取り皿は純金であった。また宮の戸、すなわち至聖所の内部の戸および拝殿の戸のひじつぼは金であった。

The scissors and the basins and the spoons and the fire-trays, of the best gold; and the inner doors of the house, opening into the most holy place, and the doors of the Temple, were all of gold.
