1 Kings 5
1 Now Hiram, king of Tyre, hearing that Solomon had been made king in place of his father, sent his servants to him; for Hiram had ever been a friend to David.
ツロの王ヒラム、ソロモンの膏そそがれて其父にかはりて王となりしを聞て其臣僕をソロモンに遣せりヒラムは恒にダビデを愛したる者なりければなり
2 And Solomon sent back word to Hiram, saying,
是に於てソロモン、ヒラムに言遣はしけるは
3 You have knowledge that David my father was not able to make a house for the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars which were round him on every side, till the Lord put all those who were against him under his feet.
汝の知ごとく我父ダビデは其周圍にありし戰爭に因て其神ヱホバの名のために家を建ること能はずしてヱホバが彼等を其足の跖の下に置またふを待り
4 But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side; no one is making trouble, and no evil is taking place.
然るに今わが神ヱホバ我に四方の太平を賜ひて敵もなく殃もなければ
5 And so it is my purpose to make a house for the name of the Lord my God, as he said to David my father, Your son, whom I will make king in your place, will be the builder of a house for my name.
我はヱホバのわが父ダビデに語てわが汝の代に汝の位に上しむる汝の子其人はわが名のために家を建べしと言たまひしに循ひてわが神ヱホバの名のために家を建んとす
6 So now, will you have cedar-trees from Lebanon cut down for me, and my servants will be with your servants; and I will give you payment for your servants at whatever rate you say; for it is common knowledge that we have no such wood-cutters among us as the men of Zidon.
されば汝命じてわがためにレバノンより香柏を砍出さしめよわが僕汝の僕と共にあるべし又我は凡て汝の言ふごとく汝の僕の賃銀を汝に付すべし其は汝の知ごとく我儕の中にはシドン人の如く木を砍に巧みなる人なければなりと
7 And these words of Solomon made Hiram glad, and he said, Now may the Lord be praised who has given to David a wise son to be king over this great people.
ヒラム、ソロモンの言を聞て大に喜び言けるは今日ヱホバに稱譽あれヱホバ、ダビデに此夥多しき民を治むる賢き子を與たまへりと
8 Then Hiram sent to Solomon, saying; The words you sent have been given to me: I will do all your desire in the question of cedar-wood and cypress-wood.
かくてヒラム、ソロモンに言遣りけるは我汝が言ひ遣したる所の事を聽り我香柏の材木と松樹の材木とに付ては凡て汝の望むごとく爲すべし
9 My men will take them down from Lebanon to the sea, where I will have them corded together to go by sea to whatever place you say, and I will have them cut up there so that you may take them away; as for payment, it will be enough if you give me food for my people.
わが僕レバノンより海に持下らんしかして我これを海より桴にくみて汝が我に言ひ遣す處におくり其處にて之をくづすべし汝之を受よ又汝はわが家のために食物を與へてわが望を成せと
10 So Hiram gave Solomon all the cedar-wood and cypress-wood he had need of;
斯てヒラムはソロモンに其凡て望むごとく香柏の材木と松の材木を與へたり
11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of grain, as food for his people, and twenty measures of clear oil; this he did every year.
又ソロモンはヒラムに其家の食物として小麥二萬石を與へまた清油二十石をあたへたり斯ソロモン年々ヒラムに與へたり
12 Now the Lord had given Solomon wisdom, as he had said to him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they made an agreement together.
ヱホバ其言たまひしごとくソロモンに智慧を賜へりまたヒラムとソロモンの間睦しくして二人偕に契約を結べり
13 Then King Solomon got together men for the forced work through all Israel, thirty thousand men in number;
爰にソロモン王イスラエルの全地に徴募人を興せり其徴募人の數は三萬人なり
14 And sent them to Lebanon in bands of ten thousand every month: for a month they were working in Lebanon and for two months in their country, and Adoniram was in control of them.
ソロモンかれらを一月交代に一萬人づつレバノンに遣せり即ち彼等は一月レバノンに二月家にありアドニラムは徴募人の督者なりき
15 Then he had seventy thousand for the work of transport, and eighty thousand stone-cutters in the mountains;
ソロモン負載者七萬人山に於て石を砍る者八萬人あり
16 In addition to the chiefs of the responsible men put by Solomon to oversee the work, three thousand and three hundred in authority over the workmen.
外に又其工事の長なる官吏三千三百人ありて工事に作く民を統たり
17 By the king's orders great stones, stones of high price, were cut out, so that the base of the house might be made of squared stone.
かくて王命じて大なる石貴き石を鑿出さしめ琢石を以て家の基礎を築かしむ
18 Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did the work of cutting them, and put edges on them, and got the wood and the stone ready for the building of the house.
ソロモンの建築者とヒラムの建築者およびゲバル人之を砍り斯彼等材木と石を家を建るに備へたり
