1 Kings 11
1 Now a number of strange women were loved by Solomon, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites:
ソロモン王は多くの外国の女を愛した。すなわちパロの娘、モアブびと、アンモンびと、エドムびと、シドンびと、ヘテびとの女を愛した。
2 The nations of which the Lord had said to the children of Israel, You are not to take wives from them and they are not to take wives from you; or they will certainly make you go after their gods: to these Solomon was united in love.
主はかつてこれらの国民について、イスラエルの人々に言われた、「あなたがたは彼らと交わってはならない。彼らもまたあなたがたと交わってはならない。彼らは必ずあなたがたの心を転じて彼らの神々に従わせるからである」。しかしソロモンは彼らを愛して離れなかった。
3 He had seven hundred wives, daughters of kings, and three hundred other wives; and through his wives his heart was turned away.
彼には王妃としての妻七百人、そばめ三百人があった。その妻たちが彼の心を転じたのである。
4 For it came about that when Solomon was old, his heart was turned away to other gods by his wives; and his heart was no longer true to the Lord his God as the heart of his father David had been.
ソロモンが年老いた時、その妻たちが彼の心を転じて他の神々に従わせたので、彼の心は父ダビデの心のようには、その神、主に真実でなかった。
5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Milcom, the disgusting god of the Ammonites.
これはソロモンがシドンびとの女神アシタロテに従い、アンモンびとの神である憎むべき者ミルコムに従ったからである。
6 And Solomon did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not walking in the Lord's ways with all his heart as David his father did.
このようにソロモンは主の目の前に悪を行い、父ダビデのように全くは主に従わなかった。
7 Then Solomon put up a high place for Chemosh, the disgusting god of Moab, in the mountain before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the disgusting god worshipped by the children of Ammon.
そしてソロモンはモアブの神である憎むべき者ケモシのために、またアンモンの人々の神である憎むべき者モレクのためにエルサレムの東の山に高き所を築いた。
8 And so he did for all his strange wives, who made offerings with burning of perfumes to their gods.
彼はまた外国のすべての妻たちのためにもそうしたので、彼女たちはその神々に香をたき、犠牲をささげた。
9 And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had twice come to him in a vision;
このようにソロモンの心が転じて、イスラエルの神、主を離れたため、主は彼を怒られた。すなわち主がかつて二度彼に現れ、
10 And had given him orders about this very thing, that he was not to go after other gods; but he did not keep the orders of the Lord.
この事について彼に、他の神々に従ってはならないと命じられたのに、彼は主の命じられたことを守らなかったからである。
11 So the Lord said to Solomon, Because you have done this, and have not kept my agreement and my laws, which I gave you, I will take the kingdom away from you by force and will give it to your servant.
それゆえ、主はソロモンに言われた、「これがあなたの本心であり、わたしが命じた契約と定めとを守らなかったので、わたしは必ずあなたから国を裂き離して、それをあなたの家来に与える。
12 I will not do it in your life-time, because of your father David, but I will take it from your son.
しかしあなたの父ダビデのために、あなたの世にはそれをしないが、あなたの子の手からそれを裂き離す。
13 Still I will not take all the kingdom from him; but I will give one tribe to your son, because of my servant David, and because of Jerusalem, the town of my selection.
ただし、わたしは国をことごとくは裂き離さず、わたしのしもべダビデのために、またわたしが選んだエルサレムのために一つの部族をあなたの子に与えるであろう」。
14 So the Lord sent Hadad the Edomite to make trouble for Solomon: he was of the king's seed in Edom.
こうして主はエドムびとハダデを起して、ソロモンの敵とされた。彼はエドムの王家の者であった。
15 And when David had sent destruction on Edom, and Joab, the captain of the army, had gone to put the dead into the earth, and had put to death every male in Edom;
さきにダビデはエドムにいたが、軍の長ヨアブが上っていって、戦死した者を葬り、エドムの男子をことごとく打ち殺した時、
16 (For Joab and all Israel were there six months till every male in Edom had been cut off; )
（ヨアブはイスラエルの人々と共に六か月そこにとどまって、エドムの男子をことごとく断った）。
17 Hadad, being still a young boy, went in flight to Egypt, with certain Edomites, servants of his father;
ハダデはその父のしもべである数人のエドムびとと共に逃げてエジプトへ行こうとした。その時ハダデはまだ少年であった。
18 And they went on from Midian and came to Paran; and, taking men from Paran with them, they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who gave him a house and gave orders for his food and gave him land.
彼らがミデアンを立ってパランへ行き、パランから人々を伴ってエジプトへ行き、エジプトの王パロのところへ行くと、パロは彼に家を与え、食糧を定め、かつ土地を与えた。
19 Now Hadad was very pleasing to Pharaoh, so that he gave him the sister of his wife, Tahpenes the queen, for his wife.
ハダデは大いにパロの心にかなったので、パロは自分の妻の妹すなわち王妃タペネスの妹を妻として彼に与えた。
20 And the sister of Tahpenes had a son by him, Genubath, whom Tahpenes took care of in Pharaoh's house; and Genubath was living in Pharaoh's house among Pharaoh's sons.
タペネスの妹は彼に男の子ゲヌバテを産んだので、タペネスはその子をパロの家のうちで乳離れさせた。ゲヌバテはパロの家で、パロの子どもたちと一緒にいた。
21 Now when Hadad had news in Egypt that David had been put to rest with his fathers, and that Joab, the captain of the army, was dead, he said to Pharaoh, Send me back to my country.
さてハダデはエジプトで、ダビデがその先祖と共に眠ったことと、軍の長ヨアブが死んだことを聞いたので、ハダデはパロに言った、「わたしを去らせて、国へ帰らせてください」。
22 But Pharaoh said to him, What have you been short of while you have been with me, that you are desiring to go back to your country? And he said, Nothing; but even so, send me back.
パロは彼に言った、「わたしと共にいて、なんの不足があって国へ帰ることを求めるのですか」。彼は言った、「ただ、わたしを帰らせてください」。
23 And God sent another trouble-maker, Rezon, the son of Eliada, who had gone in flight from his lord, Hadadezer, king of Zobah:
神はまたエリアダの子レゾンを起してソロモンの敵とされた。彼はその主人ゾバの王ハダデゼルのもとを逃げ去った者であった。
24 He got some men together and made himself captain of a band of outlaws; and went to Damascus and became king there.
ダビデがゾバの人々を殺した後、彼は人々を自分のまわりに集めて略奪隊の首領となった。彼らはダマスコへ行って、そこに住み、ダマスコで彼を王とした。
25 He was a trouble to Israel all through the days of Solomon. And this is the damage Hadad did: he was cruel to Israel while he was ruler over Edom.
彼はソロモンの一生の間、イスラエルの敵となって、ハダデがしたように害をなし、イスラエルを憎んでスリヤを治めた。
26 And there was Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was Zeruah, a widow; and his hand was lifted up against the king.
ゼレダのエフライムびとネバテの子ヤラベアムはソロモンの家来であったが、その母の名はゼルヤといって寡婦であった。彼もまたその手をあげて王に敵した。
27 The way in which his hand came to be lifted up against the king was this: Solomon was building the Millo and making good the damaged parts of the town of his father David;
彼が手をあげて、王に敵した事情はこうである。ソロモンはミロを築き、父ダビデの町の破れ口をふさいでいた。
28 And Jeroboam was an able and responsible man; and Solomon saw that he was a good worker and made him overseer of all the work given to the sons of Joseph.
ヤラベアムは非常に手腕のある人であったが、ソロモンはこの若者がよく働くのを見て、彼にヨセフの家のすべての強制労働の監督をさせた。
29 Now at that time, when Jeroboam was going out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite came across him on the road; now Ahijah had put on a new robe; and the two of them were by themselves in the open country.
そのころ、ヤラベアムがエルサレムを出たとき、シロびとである預言者アヒヤが道で彼に会った。アヒヤは新しい着物を着ていた。そして彼らふたりだけが野にいた。
30 And Ahijah took his new robe in his hands, parting it violently into twelve.
アヒヤは着ている着物をつかんで、それを十二切れに裂き、
31 And he said to Jeroboam, Take ten of the parts, for this is what the Lord has said: See, I will take the kingdom away from Solomon by force, and will give ten tribes to you;
ヤラベアムに言った、「あなたは十切れを取りなさい。イスラエルの神、主はこう言われる、『見よ、わたしは国をソロモンの手から裂き離して、あなたに十部族を与えよう。
32 (But one tribe will be his, because of my servant David, and because of Jerusalem, the town which, out of all the tribes of Israel, I have made mine, )
（ただし彼はわたしのしもべダビデのために、またわたしがイスラエルのすべての部族のうちから選んだ町エルサレムのために、一つの部族をもつであろう）。
33 Because they are turned away from me to the worship of Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Chemosh, the god of Moab, and Milcom, the god of the Ammonites; they have not been walking in my ways or doing what is right in my eyes or keeping my laws and my decisions as his father David did.
それは彼がわたしを捨てて、シドンびとの女神アシタロテと、モアブの神ケモシと、アンモンの人々の神ミルコムを拝み、父ダビデのように、わたしの道に歩んで、わたしの目にかなう事を行い、わたしの定めと、おきてを守ることをしなかったからである。
34 But I will not take the kingdom from him; I will let him be king all the days of his life, because of David my servant, in whom I took delight because he kept my orders and my laws.
しかし、わたしは国をことごとくは彼の手から取らない。わたしが選んだ、わたしのしもべダビデが、わたしの命令と定めとを守ったので、わたしは彼のためにソロモンを一生の間、君としよう。
35 But I will take the kingdom from his son, and give it to you.
そして、わたしはその子の手から国を取って、その十部族をあなたに与える。
36 And one tribe I will give to his son, so that David my servant may have a light for ever burning before me in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine to put my name there.
その子には一つの部族を与えて、わたしの名を置くために選んだ町エルサレムで、わたしのしもべダビデに、わたしの前に常に一つのともしびを保たせるであろう。
37 And you I will take, and you will be king over Israel, ruling over whatever is the desire of your soul.
わたしがあなたを選び、あなたはすべて心の望むところを治めて、イスラエルの上に王となるであろう。
38 And if you give attention to the orders I give you, walking in my ways and doing what is right in my eyes and keeping my laws and my orders as David my servant did; then I will be with you, building up for you a safe house, as I did for David, and I will give Israel to you.
もし、あなたが、わたしの命じるすべての事を聞いて、わたしの道に歩み、わたしの目にかなう事を行い、わたしのしもべダビデがしたように、わたしの定めと戒めとを守るならば、わたしはあなたと共にいて、わたしがダビデのために建てたように、あなたのために堅固な家を建てて、イスラエルをあなたに与えよう。
39 (So that I may send trouble for this on the seed of David, but not for ever.)
わたしはこのためにダビデの子孫を苦しめる。しかし永久にではない』」。
40 And Solomon was looking for a chance to put Jeroboam to death; but he went in flight to Egypt, to Shishak, king of Egypt, and was in Egypt till the death of Solomon.
ソロモンはヤラベアムを殺そうとしたが、ヤラベアムは立ってエジプトにのがれ、エジプト王シシャクのところへ行って、ソロモンの死ぬまでエジプトにいた。
41 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all he did, and his wisdom, are they not recorded in the book of the acts of Solomon?
ソロモンのそのほかの事績と、彼がしたすべての事およびその知恵は、ソロモンの事績の書にしるされているではないか。
42 And the time Solomon was king in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.
ソロモンがエルサレムでイスラエルの全地を治めた日は四十年であった。
43 And Solomon went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father: and Solomon went to rest with his fathers and Rehoboam his son became king in his place.
ソロモンはその先祖と共に眠って、父ダビデの町に葬られ、その子レハベアムが代って王となった。
