1 Kings 9
1 When Solomon had finished the building of the LORD’s house, the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he was pleased to do,
ソロモンが主の宮と王の宮殿およびソロモンが建てようと望んだすべてのものを建て終った時、
2 The LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
主はかつてギベオンでソロモンに現れられたように再び現れて、
3 The LORD said to him, “I have heard your prayer and your supplication that you have made before me. I have made this house holy, which you have built, to put my name there forever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.
彼に言われた、「あなたが、わたしの前に願った祈と願いとを聞いた。わたしはあなたが建てたこの宮を聖別して、わたしの名を永久にそこに置く。わたしの目と、わたしの心は常にそこにあるであろう。
4 As for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, in integrity of heart and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances,
あなたがもし、あなたの父ダビデが歩んだように全き心をもって正しくわたしの前に歩み、すべてわたしが命じたようにおこなって、わたしの定めと、おきてとを守るならば、
5 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I promised to David your father, saying, ‘There shall not fail from you a man on the throne of Israel.’
わたしは、あなたの父ダビデに約束して『イスラエルの王位にのぼる人があなたに欠けることはないであろう』と言ったように、あなたのイスラエルに王たる位をながく確保するであろう。
6 But if you turn away from following me, you or your children, and not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them,
しかし、あなたがた、またはあなたがたの子孫がそむいてわたしに従わず、わたしがあなたがたの前に置いた戒めと定めとを守らず、他の神々に行って、それに仕え、それを拝むならば、
7 then I will cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and I will cast this house, which I have made holy for my name, out of my sight; and Israel will be a proverb and a byword among all peoples.
わたしはイスラエルを、わたしが与えた地のおもてから断つであろう。またわたしの名のために聖別した宮をわたしの前から投げすてるであろう。そしてイスラエルはもろもろの民のうちにことわざとなり、笑い草となるであろう。
8 Though this house is so high, yet everyone who passes by it will be astonished and hiss; and they will say, ‘Why has the LORD done this to this land and to this house?’
かつ、この宮は荒塚となり、そのかたわらを過ぎる者は皆驚き、うそぶいて『なにゆえ、主はこの地と、この宮とにこのようにされたのか』と言うであろう。
9 and they will answer, ‘Because they abandoned the LORD their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and embraced other gods, and worshiped them, and served them. Therefore the LORD has brought all this evil on them.’”
その時人々は答えて『彼らは自分の先祖をエジプトの地から導き出した彼らの神、主を捨てて、他の神々につき従い、それを拝み、それに仕えたために、主はこのすべての災を彼らの上に下したのである』と言うであろう」。
10 At the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the two houses, the LORD’s house and the king’s house
ソロモンは二十年を経て二つの家すなわち主の宮と王の宮殿とを建て終った時、
11 (now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and cypress trees, and with gold, according to all his desire), King Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
ツロの王ヒラムがソロモンの望みに任せて香柏と、いとすぎと、金とを供給したので、ソロモン王はガリラヤの地の町二十をヒラムに与えた。
12 Hiram came out of Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they did not please him.
しかしヒラムがツロから来て、ソロモンが彼に与えた町々を見たとき、それらは彼の気にいらなかったので、
13 He said, “What cities are these which you have given me, my brother?” He called them the land of Cabul to this day.
彼は、「兄弟よ、あなたがくださったこれらの町々は、いったいなんですか」と言った。それで、そこは今日までカブルの地と呼ばれている。
14 Hiram sent to the king one hundred twenty talents of gold.
ヒラムはかつて金百二十タラントを王に贈った。
15 This is the reason of the forced labor which King Solomon conscripted: to build the LORD’s house, his own house, Millo, Jerusalem’s wall, Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
ソロモン王が強制的に労働者を徴募したのはこうである。すなわち主の宮と自分の宮殿と、ミロとエルサレムの城壁と、ハゾルとメギドとゲゼルを建てるためであった。
16 Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, taken Gezer, burned it with fire, killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and given it for a wedding gift to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
（エジプトの王パロはかつて上ってきて、ゲゼルを取り、火でこれを焼き、その町に住んでいたカナンびとを殺し、これをソロモンの妻である自分の娘に与えて婚姻の贈り物としたので、
17 Solomon built in the land Gezer, Beth Horon the lower,
ソロモンはそのゲゼルを建て直した）。また下ベテホロンと、
18 Baalath, Tamar in the wilderness,
バアラテとユダの国の荒野にあるタマル、
19 all the storage cities that Solomon had, the cities for his chariots, the cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
およびソロモンが持っていた倉庫の町々、戦車の町々、騎兵の町々ならびにソロモンがエルサレム、レバノンおよびそのすべての領地において建てようと望んだものをことごとく建てるためであった。
20 As for all the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel—
すべてイスラエルの子孫でないアモリびと、ヘテびと、ペリジびと、ヒビびと、エブスびとの残った者、
21 their children who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy—of them Solomon raised a levy of bondservants to this day.
その地にあって彼らのあとに残った子孫すなわちイスラエルの人々の滅ぼしつくすことのできなかった者を、ソロモンは強制的に奴隷として徴募をおこない、今日に至っている。
22 But of the children of Israel Solomon made no bondservants; but they were the men of war, his servants, his princes, his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.
しかしイスラエルの人々をソロモンはひとりも奴隷としなかった。彼らは軍人、また彼の役人、司令官、指揮官、戦車隊長、騎兵隊長であったからである。
23 These were the five hundred fifty chief officers who were over Solomon’s work, who ruled over the people who labored in the work.
ソロモンの工事を監督する上役の官吏は五百五十人であって、工事に働く民を治めた。
24 But Pharaoh’s daughter came up out of David’s city to her house which Solomon had built for her. Then he built Millo.
パロの娘はダビデの町から上って、ソロモンが彼女のために建てた家に住んだ。その時ソロモンはミロを建てた。
25 Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he built to the LORD three times per year, burning incense with them on the altar that was before the LORD. So he finished the house.
ソロモンは主のために築いた祭壇の上に年に三度燔祭と酬恩祭をささげ、また主の前に香をたいた。こうしてソロモンは宮を完成した。
26 King Solomon made a fleet of ships in Ezion Geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
ソロモン王はエドムの地、紅海の岸のエラテに近いエジオン・ゲベルで数隻の船を造った。
27 Hiram sent in the fleet his servants, sailors who had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
ヒラムは海の事を知っている船員であるそのしもべをソロモンのしもべと共にその船でつかわした。
28 They came to Ophir, and fetched from there gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to King Solomon.
彼らはオフルへ行って、そこから金四百二十タラントを取って、ソロモン王の所にもってきた。
