1 Kings 10
1 Now when the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to test him with difficult questions.
シバの女王ヱホバの名に關るソロモンの風聞を聞き及び難問を以てソロモンを試みんとて來れり
2 She arrived in Jerusalem with a very large caravan—with camels bearing spices, gold in great abundance, and precious stones. So she came to Solomon and spoke to him all that was on her mind.
彼甚だ多くの部從香物と甚だ多くの金と寶石を負ふ駱駝を從へてエルサレムに至る彼ソロモンの許に來り其心にある所を悉く之に言たるに
3 And Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too difficult for the king to explain.
ソロモン彼に其凡の事を告たり王の知ずして彼に告ざる事無りき
4 When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, the palace he had built,
シバの女王ソロモンの諸の智慧と其建たる家と
5 the food at his table, the seating of his servants, the service and attire of his attendants and cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he presented at the house of the LORD, it took her breath away.
其席の食物と其臣僕の列坐る事と其侍臣の伺候および彼等の衣服と其酒人と其ヱホバの家に上る階級とを見て全く其氣を奪はれたり
6 She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your words and wisdom is true.
彼王にいひけるは我が自己の國にて爾の行爲と爾の智慧に付て聞たる言は眞實なりき
7 But I did not believe these things until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half was told to me. Your wisdom and prosperity have far exceeded the report I heard.
然ど我來りて目に見るまでは其言を信ぜざりしが今視るに其半も我に聞えざりしなり爾の智慧と昌盛はわが聞たる風聞に越ゆ
8 How blessed are your men! How blessed are these servants of yours who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom!
常に爾の前に立て爾の智慧を聽く是等の人爾の臣僕は幸福なるかな
9 Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delighted in you to set you on the throne of Israel. Because of the LORD’s eternal love for Israel, He has made you king to carry out justice and righteousness.”
爾の神ヱホバは讃べきかなヱホバ爾を悦び爾をイスラエルの位に上らせたまへりヱホバ永久にイスラエルを愛したまふに因て爾を王となして公道と義を行はしめたまふなりと
10 Then she gave the king 120 talents of gold, a great quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again was such an abundance of spices brought in as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
彼乃ち金百二十タラント及び甚だ多くの香物と寶石とを王に饋れりシバの女王のソロモン王に饋りたるが如き多くの香物は重て至ざりき
11 (The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir also brought from Ophir a great cargo of almug wood and precious stones.
オフルより金を載來りたるヒラムの船は亦オフルより多くの白檀木と寶石とを運び來りければ
12 The king made the almug wood into steps for the house of the LORD and for the king’s palace, and into lyres and harps for the singers. Never before had such almug wood been brought in, nor has such been seen to this day.)
王白檀木を以てヱホバの家と王の家とに欄干を造り歌謡者のために琴と瑟を造れり是の如き白檀木は至らざりき亦今日までも見たることなし
13 King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired—whatever she asked—besides what he had given her out of his royal bounty. Then she left and returned to her own country, along with her servants.
ソロモン王王の例に循ひてシバの女王に物を饋りたる外に又彼が望に任せて凡て其求むる物を饋れり斯て彼其臣僕等とともに歸りて其國に往り
14 The weight of gold that came to Solomon each year was 666 talents,
偖一年にソロモンの所に至れる金の重量は六百六十六タラントなり
15 not including the revenue from the merchants, traders, and all the Arabian kings and governors of the land.
外に又商買および商旅の交易並にアラビヤの王等と國の知事等よりも至れり
16 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of gold went into each shield.
ソロモン王展金の大楯二百を造れり其大楯には各六百シケルの金を用ひたり
17 He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold; three minas of gold went into each shield. And the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
又展金の干三百を造れり一の干に三斤の金を用ひたり王是等をレバノン森林の家に置り
18 Additionally, the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold.
王又象牙をもて大なる寳座を造り純金を以て之を蔽へり
19 The throne had six steps, and its back had a rounded top. There were armrests on both sides of the seat, with a lion standing beside each armrest.
其寳座に六の階級あり寳座の後に圓き頭あり坐する處の兩旁に扶手ありて扶手の側に二の獅子立てり
20 Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one at either end of each step. Nothing like this had ever been made for any kingdom.
又其六の階級に十二の獅子此旁彼旁に立り是の如き者を作れる國はあらざりき
21 All King Solomon’s drinking cups were gold, and all the utensils of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. There was no silver, because it was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon.
ソロモン王の用ひて飮る器は皆金なり又レバノン森林の家の器も皆純金にして銀の物無りき銀はソロモンの世には貴まざりしなり
22 For the king had the ships of Tarshish at sea with Hiram’s fleet, and once every three years the ships of Tarshish would arrive bearing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
其は王海にタルシシの船を有てヒラムの船と供にあらしめタルシシの船をして三年に一度金銀象牙猿猴および孔雀を載て來らしめたればなり
23 So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
抑ソロモン王は富有と智慧に於て天下の諸の王よりも大なりければ
24 The whole world sought an audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had put in his heart.
天下皆神がソロモンの心に授けたまへる智慧を聽んとてソロモンの面を見んことを求めたり
25 Year after year, each visitor would bring his tribute: articles of silver and gold, clothing, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.
人々各其禮物を携へ來る即ち銀の器金の器衣服甲冑香物馬騾毎歳定分ありき
26 Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
ソロモン戰車と騎兵を集めたるに戰車千四百輛騎兵壱萬二千ありきソロモン之を戰車の城邑に置き或はエルサレムにて王の所に置り
27 The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
王エルサレムに於て銀を石の如くに爲し香柏を平地の桑樹の如くに爲して多く用ひたり
28 Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.
ソロモンの馬を獲たるはエジプトとコアよりなり即ち王の商賣コアより價値を以て取り
29 A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. Likewise, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram.
エジプトより上り出る戰車一輛は銀六百にして馬は百五十なりき斯のごとくヘテ人の凡の王等およびスリアの王等のために其手をもて取出せり
