2 Chronicles 8
1 Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own palace,
ソロモンは二十年を経て、主の家と自分の家とを建て終った。
2 Solomon rebuilt the cities Hiram had given him and settled Israelites there.
またソロモンはヒラムから送られた町々を建て直して、そこにイスラエルの人々を住ませた。
3 Then Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and captured it.
ソロモンはまたハマテ・ゾバを攻めて、これを取った。
4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness, in addition to all the store cities that he had built in Hamath.
彼はまた荒野にタデモルを建て、もろもろの倉の町をハマテに建てた。
5 He rebuilt Upper and Lower Beth-horon as fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars,
また城壁、門、貫の木のある堅固な町、上ベテホロンと下ベテホロンを建てた。
6 as well as Baalath, all the store cities that belonged to Solomon, and all the cities for his chariots and horses —whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout the land of his dominion.
ソロモンはまたバアラテと自分のもっていたすべての倉の町と、すべての戦車の町と、騎兵の町、ならびにエルサレム、レバノンおよび自分の治める全地方に建てようと望んだものを、ことごとく建てた。
7 As for all the people who remained of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (the people who were not Israelites)—
すべてイスラエルの子孫でないヘテびと、アモリびと、ペリジびと、ヒビびと、エブスびとの残った民、
8 their descendants who remained in the land, those whom the Israelites were unable to destroy—Solomon conscripted these people to be forced laborers, as they are to this day.
その地にあって彼らのあとに残ったその子孫、すなわちイスラエルの子孫が滅ぼし尽さなかった民に、ソロモンは強制徴募をおこなって今日に及んでいる。
9 But Solomon did not consign any of the Israelites to slave labor, because they were his men of war, his officers and captains, and the commanders of his chariots and cavalry.
しかし、イスラエルの人々をソロモンはその工事のためには、ひとりも奴隷としなかった。彼らは兵士となり、将校となり、戦車と、騎兵の長となった。
10 They were also the chief officers for King Solomon: 250 supervisors.
これらはソロモン王のおもな官吏で、二百五十人あり、民を治めた。
11 Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the palace he had built for her. For he said, “My wife must not live in the house of David king of Israel, because the places the ark of the LORD has entered are holy.”
ソロモンはパロの娘をダビデの町から連れ上って、彼女のために建てた家に入れて言った、「主の箱を迎えた所は神聖であるから、わたしの妻はイスラエルの王ダビデの家に住んではならない」。
12 At that time Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD he had built in front of the portico.
ソロモンは廊の前に築いておいた主の祭壇の上で主に燔祭をささげた。
13 He observed the daily requirement for offerings according to the commandment of Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons, and the three annual appointed feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles.
すなわちモーセの命令に従って、毎日定めのようにささげ、安息日、新月および年に三度の祭、すなわち種入れぬパンの祭、七週の祭、仮庵の祭にこれをささげた。
14 In keeping with the ordinances of his father David, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests over their service, and the Levites for their duties to offer praise and to minister before the priests according to the daily requirement. He also appointed gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate, for this had been the command of David, the man of God.
ソロモンは、その父ダビデのおきてに従って、祭司の組を定めてその職に任じ、またレビびとをその勤めに任じて、毎日定めのように祭司の前でさんびと奉仕をさせ、また門を守る者に、その組にしたがって、もろもろの門を守らせた。これは神の人ダビデがこのように命じたからである。
15 They did not turn aside from the king’s command regarding the priests or the Levites or any matter concerning the treasuries.
祭司とレビびとはすべての事につき、また倉の事について、王の命令にそむかなかった。
16 Thus all the work of Solomon was carried out, from the day the foundation was laid for the house of the LORD until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.
このようにソロモンは、主の宮の基をすえた日からこれをなし終えたときまで、その工事の準備をことごとくなしたので、主の宮は完成した。
17 Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast of Edom.
それからソロモンはエドムの地の海べにあるエジオン・ゲベルおよびエロテへ行った。
18 So Hiram sent him ships captained by his servants, along with crews of experienced sailors. They went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir and acquired from there 450 talents of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
時にヒラムはそのしもべどもの手によって船団を彼に送り、また海の事になれたしもべどもをつかわしたので、彼らはソロモンのしもべらと共にオフルへ行き、そこから金四百五十タラントを取って、これをソロモン王のもとに携えてきた。
