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。
And he made a brazen altar, the length of it twenty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits, and the height ten cubits.
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 molten sea, in diameter ten cubits, entirely round, and the height of it five cubits, and the circumference thirty cubits.
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 beneath it the likeness of calves, they compass it round about: ten cubits compass the laver round about, they cast the calves two rows in their casting,
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。
wherein they made them twelve calves, —three looking northwards, and three westwards, and three southwards, and three eastwards: and the sea was upon them above, [and] their hinder parts were inward.
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。
And its thickness was a hand-breadth, and its brim as the brim of a cup, graven with flowers of lilies, holding three thousand measures: and he finished [it].
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 lavers, and set five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them the instruments of the whole burnt offerings, and to rinse [the vessels] in them; and the sea [was] for the priests to wash in.
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 golden candlesticks according to their pattern, and he put them in the temple, five on the right hand, 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。
And he made ten tables, and put them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left: and he made a hundred golden bowls.
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。
Also he made the priests' court, and the great court, and doors to the court, and their panels [were] overlaid with brass.
10 彼は海を宮の東南のすみにすえた。
And he set the sea at the corner of the house on the right, as it were fronting the east.
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 Chiram made the flesh hooks, and the fire-pans, and the grate of the altar, and all its instruments: and Chiram finished doing all the work which he wrought 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、
two pillars, and upon them an embossed work for the chapiters on the heads of the two pillars, and two nets to cover the heads of the chapiters which are on the heads 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 four hundred golden bells for the two nets, and two rows of pomegranates in each net, to cover the two embossed rims of the chapiters which are upon the pillars.
14 彼はまた台と台の上の洗盤と、
And he made the ten bases, and he made the lavers upon the bases;
15 一つの海とその下の十二の牛を造った。
and the one sea, and the twelve calves 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。
and the foot-baths, and the buckets, and the cauldrons, and the flesh hooks, and all their furniture (which Chiram made, and brought to king Solomon in the house of the Lord) of pure 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。
In the country round about Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground in the house of Socchoth, and between [that and] Saredatha.
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 in great abundance, for the quantity of brass failed not.
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 of the house of the Lord, and the golden altar, and the tables, and upon them [were to be] the loaves of show bread;
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。
also the candlesticks, and the lamps to give light according to the pattern, and in front of the oracle, of pure gold.
21 その花、ともしび皿、心かきは精金であった。
And their snuffers, and their lamps [were made], and [he made] the bowls, and the censers, and the fire-pans, of pure 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。
And [there was] the inner door of the house [opening] into the holy of holies, and [he made] the inner doors of the temple of gold. So all the work which Solomon wrought for the house of the Lord was finished.
