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 an altar of bronze, thirty-four feet and five inches, its length, and thirty-four feet and five inches, its breadth, and seventeen feet and three inches 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。

Also he made the molten sea seventeen feet and three inches from brim to brim, round in compass; and its height was eight feet and seven inches; and a line of fifty-one feet and eight inches encircled it.

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。

Under it was the likeness of oxen, which encircled it, for seventeen feet and three inches, encircling the sea. The oxen were in two rows, cast when it was 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 stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set on them above, and all their backs were toward the center.

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 almost three inches thick; and its brim was worked like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it received and held 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。

He made also ten basins, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them; such things as belonged to the burnt offering they washed in them; but 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、

He made the ten lampstands of gold according to the ordinance concerning them; and he set 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。

He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. He made one hundred basins 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。

Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid their doors with bronze.

10 彼は海を宮の東南のすみにすえた。

He set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, 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 Hiram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing the work that he did for king Solomon in God's house:

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 bowls, and the two capitals which were on the top of the pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top 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 each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars.

14 彼はまた台と台の上の洗盤と、

He made also the bases, and the basins made he on the bases;

15 一つの海とその下の十二の牛を造った。

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。

The pots, the shovels, the forks, and all its vessels Hiram Abi made for king Solomon for the house of Jehovah of bright bronze.

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 cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

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。

Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the bronze could not be found 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、

Solomon made all the vessels that were in God's house, the golden altar also, and the tables with the show bread on them;

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 with their lamps, to burn according to the ordinance before the inner sanctuary, of pure gold;

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, and that perfect 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 basins, and the spoons, and the fire pans, of pure gold: and as for the entry of the house, the inner doors of it for the most holy place, and the doors of the main hall of the temple were of gold.
