2 Chronicles 1
1 Now Solomon son of David established himself securely over his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him and highly exalted him.
ダビデの子ソロモン堅くその國にたてりその神ヱホバこれとともに在して之を甚だ大ならしめたまひき
2 Then Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every leader in all Israel—the heads of the families.
茲にソロモン、イスラエルの一切の人々すなはち千人の長百人の長裁判人ならびにイスラエルの全地の諸の牧伯等宗家の長などに告る所あり
3 And Solomon and the whole assembly went to the high place at Gibeon because it was the location of God’s Tent of Meeting, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.
而してソロモンおよび全會衆ともにギベオンなる崇邱に往りヱホバの僕モーセが荒野にて作りたる神の集會の幕屋かしこにあればなり
4 Now David had brought the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the place he had prepared for it, because he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.
されど神の契約の櫃はダビデすでにキリアテヤリムよりこれが爲に備へたる處に携へ上れりダビデ曩にヱルサレムにて之が爲に幕屋を張まうけたりき
5 But the bronze altar made by Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, was in Gibeon before the tabernacle of the LORD. So Solomon and the assembly inquired of Him there.
またホルの子ウリの子なるベザレルが作りたる銅の壇彼處においてヱホバの幕屋の前にありソロモンおよび會衆これに就きて求む
6 Solomon offered sacrifices there before the LORD on the bronze altar in the Tent of Meeting, where he offered a thousand burnt offerings.
即ちソロモン彼處に上りゆき集會の幕屋の中にあるヱホバの前なる銅の壇に就き燔祭一千を其上に献げたり
7 That night God appeared to Solomon and said, “Ask, and I will give it to you!”
その夜神ソロモンに顯れてこれに言たまひけるは我なんぢに何を與ふべきか求めよ
8 Solomon replied to God: “You have shown much loving devotion to my father David, and You have made me king in his place.
ソロモン神に申しけるは汝は我父ダビデに大なる恩惠をほどこし又我をして彼に代りて王とならしめたまへり
9 Now, O LORD God, let Your promise to my father David be fulfilled. For You have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.
今ヱホバ神よ願くは我父ダビデに宣ひし事を堅うしたまへ其は汝地の塵のごとき衆多の民の上に我を王となしたまへばなり
10 Now grant me wisdom and knowledge, so that I may lead this people. For who is able to govern this great people of Yours?”
我が此民の前に出入することを得んために今我に智慧と智識とを與へたまへ斯のごとき大なる汝の民を誰か鞫きえんや
11 God said to Solomon, “Since this was in your heart instead of requesting riches or wealth or glory for yourself or death for your enemies—and since you have not even requested long life but have asked for wisdom and knowledge to govern My people over whom I have made you king—
神ソロモンに言たまひけるは此事なんぢの心にあり汝は富有をも財寶をも尊貴をも汝を惡む者の生命をも求めずまた壽長からんことをも求めず惟智慧と智識とを己のためにもとめて我が汝を王となしたる我民を鞫かんとすれば
12 therefore wisdom and knowledge have been granted to you. And I will also give you riches and wealth and honor unlike anything given to the kings before you or after you.”
智慧と智識は已に汝に授かれり我また汝の前の王等の未だ得たること有ざる程の富有と財寳と尊貴とを汝に與へん汝の後の者もまた是のごときを得ざるべし
13 So Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place in Gibeon before the Tent of Meeting, and he reigned over Israel.
斯てソロモンはギベオンの崇邱を去り集會の幕屋の前を去りてヱルサレムに歸りイスラエルを治めたり
14 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とを集めしに戰車一千四百輛騎兵一萬二千人ありきソロモンこれを戰車の邑々に置き又ヱルサレムにて王の所に置り
15 The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
王銀と金とを石のごとくヱルサレムに多からしめまた香柏を平野の桑樹のごとく多からしめたり
16 Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.
ソロモンの有る馬は皆エジプトよりひききたれり王の商買一群一群となして之を取いだし群ごとに價金をはらへり
17 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.
エジプトより取いだして携へ上る戰車一輛は銀六百馬一匹は百五十なりき是のごとくヘテ人の諸の王等およびスリアの王等のためにもその手をもて取いだせり
