2 Chronicles 4
1 Also, he made a brass altar of twenty cubits in length, and of twenty cubits in width, and of ten cubits in height,
ソロモンはまた青銅の祭壇を造った。その長さ二十キュビト、幅二十キュビト、高さ十キュビトである。
2 as well as a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in its circumference. It had five cubits in height, and a line of thirty cubits went around it on all sides.
彼はまた海を鋳て造った。縁から縁まで十キュビトであって、周囲は円形をなし、高さ五キュビトで、その周囲は綱をもって測ると三十キュビトあった。
3 Also, under it there was the likeness of oxen. And certain engravings encircled the cavity of the sea, along ten cubits of the outside, as if in two rows. Now the oxen were molten.
海の下には三十キュビトの周囲をめぐるひさごの形があって、海の周囲を囲んでいた。そのひさごは二並びで、海を鋳る時に鋳たものである。
4 And the sea itself was placed upon the twelve oxen, three of which were looking toward the north, and another three toward the west, then another three toward the south, and the three that remained toward the east, having the sea imposed upon them. But the posteriors of the oxen were toward the interior, under the sea.
その海は十二の牛の上に置かれ、その三つは北に向かい、三つは西に向かい、三つは南に向かい、三つは東に向かっていた。海はその上に置かれ、牛のうしろはみな内に向かっていた。
5 Now its thickness had the measure of the palm of a hand, and its brim was like the lip of a cup, or like the outturned petal of a lily. And it held three thousand measures.
海の厚さは手の幅で、その縁は杯の縁のように、ゆりの花に似せて造られた。海には水を三千バテ入れることができた。
6 Also, he made ten basins. And he placed five on the right, and five on the left, so that they might wash in them all the things that they were to offer as holocausts. But the priests were to be washed in the sea.
彼はまた物を洗うために洗盤十個を造って、五個を南側に、五個を北側に置いた。その中で燔祭に用いるものを洗った。しかし海は祭司がその中で身を洗うためであった。
7 Then he also made ten gold lampstands, according to the form by which they had been ordered to be made. And he set them in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left.
彼はまた金の燭台十個をその定めに従って造り、拝殿の中の南側に五個、北側に五個を置き、
8 Moreover, there were also ten tables. And he placed them in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left. Also, there were one hundred gold bowls.
また机十個を造り、神殿の中の南側に五個、北側に五個を置き、また金の鉢百を造った。
9 Then too, he made the court of the priests, and a great hall, and doors in the hall, which he covered with brass.
彼はまた祭司の庭と大庭および庭の戸を造り、その戸を青銅でおおった。
10 Now he placed the sea on the right side, facing the east, toward the south.
彼は海を宮の東南のすみにすえた。
11 Then Hiram made cooking pots and hooks and bowls. And he completed every work of the king in the house of God,
ヒラムはまたつぼと十能と鉢とを造った。こうしてヒラムはソロモン王のため、神の宮の工事を終えた。
12 that is, the two pillars, and the crossbeams, and the heads, and something like a little net, which would cover the heads above the crossbeams,
すなわち二本の柱と玉と、柱の頂にある二つの柱頭と、柱の頂にある柱頭の二つの玉をおおう二つの網細工と、
13 and also four hundred pomegranates, and two little nets, so that two rows of pomegranates were joined to each net, which would cover the crossbeams and the heads of the pillars.
その二つの網細工のためのざくろ四百、このざくろはおのおの網細工に二並びにつけて、柱の頂にある柱頭の二つの玉を巻いていた。
14 He also made bases; and basins that he placed upon the bases;
彼はまた台と台の上の洗盤と、
15 one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;
一つの海とその下の十二の牛を造った。
16 and cooking pots and hooks and bowls. Hiram, his father, made all the vessels for Solomon, in the house of the Lord, from the purest brass.
つぼ、十能、肉さしなどすべてこれらの器物を、達人ヒラムはソロモン王のため、主の宮のために、光のある青銅で造った。
17 The king cast these in the region near the Jordan, in the clay soil between Succoth and Zeredah.
王はヨルダンの低地で、スコテとゼレダの間の粘土の地でこれを鋳た。
18 Now the multitude of the vessels was innumerable, so much so that the weight of the brass was unknown.
このようにソロモンはこれらのすべての器物を非常に多く造ったので、その青銅の重量は、量ることができなかった。
19 And Solomon made all the vessels for the house of God, and the gold altar, and the tables upon which were the bread of the presence;
こうしてソロモンは神の宮のすべての器物を造った。すなわち金の祭壇と、供えのパンを載せる机、
20 and also, of the purest gold, the lampstands with their lamps, to shine before the oracle, according to the rite;
また定めのように本殿の前で火をともす純金の燭台と、そのともしび皿を造った。
21 and certain flowers, and lamps, and gold tongs. All these were made from the purest gold.
その花、ともしび皿、心かきは精金であった。
22 Also, the vessels for the perfumes, and the censers, and the bowls, and the little mortars were from the purest gold. And he engraved the doors of the inner temple, that is, for the Holy of Holies. And the doors of the outer temple were of gold. And so, every work was completed that Solomon made in the house of the Lord.
また心切りばさみ、鉢、香の杯、心取り皿は純金であった。また宮の戸、すなわち至聖所の内部の戸および拝殿の戸のひじつぼは金であった。
