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 makes an altar of bronze: twenty cubits its length, and twenty cubits its breadth, and ten cubits its height.
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 makes the molten sea; ten by the cubit, from its edge to its edge, round in encompassment, and its height [is] five by the cubit, and a line of thirty by the cubit surrounds it around.
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 the likeness of oxen [is] under it, encompassing it all around, ten to the cubit, surrounding the sea around; two rows of oxen are cast in its being cast.
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 is standing on twelve oxen, three facing the north, and three facing the west, and three facing the south, and three facing the east, and the sea [is] on them above, and all their back parts [are] within.
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 [is] a handbreadth, and its lip as the work of the lip of a cup flowered with lilies; holding [within]—it contains 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 makes ten lavers, and puts five on the right, and five on the left, to wash with them; they purge the work of the burnt-offering with them; and the sea [is] for priests to wash with.
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 makes the ten lampstands of gold, according to their ordinance, and places [them] in the temple, five on the right, 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 makes ten tables, and places [them] in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left; and he makes one hundred bowls of gold.
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。
And he makes the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and he has overlaid their doors with bronze.
10 彼は海を宮の東南のすみにすえた。
And he has placed the sea on the right shoulder eastward, from toward the 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 makes the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls, and Huram finishes to make the work that he made 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 the bowls, and the crowns on the heads of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the crowns that [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 the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for the one network, to cover the two bowls of the crowns that [are] on the front of the pillars.
14 彼はまた台と台の上の洗盤と、
And he has made the bases; and he has made the lavers on the bases;
15 一つの海とその下の十二の牛を造った。
the one sea, and 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。
and the pots, and the shovels, and the forks, and all their vessels, his father Huram has made for King Solomon, for the house of YHWH, of bronze purified.
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 has cast them in the circuit of the Jordan, in the thick soil of the ground, between Succoth and Zeredathah.
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。
And Solomon makes all these vessels in great abundance, that the weight of the bronze has not been searched out.
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 makes all the vessels that [are for] the house of God, and the altar of gold, and the tables, and on them [is] Bread of the Presentation;
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 lampstands, and their lamps, for their burning according to the ordinance, before the oracle, of gold refined;
21 その花、ともしび皿、心かきは精金であった。
and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold—it [is] the perfection of 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 the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and the censers, of gold refined, and the opening of the house, its innermost doors to the Holy of Holies, and the doors of the house to the temple, of gold.
