1 Kings 3
1 And Solomon allied himself by marriage with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had ended building his own house, and the house of Jehovah, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.
ソロモン、エジプトの王パロと縁を結びパロの女を娶て之を携來り自己の家とヱホバの家とエルサレムの周圍の石垣を建築ことを終るまでダビデの城に置り
2 Only, the people sacrificed on the high places; for there was no house built to the name of Jehovah, until those days.
當時までヱホバの名のために建たる家なかりければ民は崇邱にて祭を爲り
3 And Solomon loved Jehovah, walking in the statutes of David his father; only, he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
ソロモン、ヱホバを愛し其父ダビデの法憲に歩めり但し彼は崇邱にて祭を爲し香を焚り
4 And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt-offerings did Solomon offer up upon that altar.
爰に王ギベオンに往て其處に祭を爲んとせり其は彼處は大なる崇邱なればなり即ちソロモン一千の燔祭を其壇に献たり
5 In Gibeon Jehovah appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
ギベオンにてヱホバ夜の夢にソロモンに顯れたまへり神いひたまひけるは我何を汝に與ふべきか汝求めよ
6 And Solomon said, Thou hast shewn unto thy servant David my father great loving-kindness, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great loving-kindness, that thou hast given him a son who sits upon his throne, as it is this day.
ソロモンいひけるは汝は汝の僕わが父ダビデが誠實と公義と正心を以て汝と共に汝の前に歩みしに囚て大なる恩惠を彼に示したまへり又汝彼のために此大なる恩惠を存て今日のごとくかれの位に坐する子を彼に賜へり
7 And now, Jehovah my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father; and I am but a little child: I know not to go out and to come in.
わが神ヱホバ汝は僕をして我父ダビデに代て王とならしめたまへり而るに我は小き子にして出入することを知ず
8 And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.
且僕は汝の選みたまひし汝の民の中にあり即ち大なる民にて其數衆くして數ふることも書すことも能はざる者なり
9 Give therefore to thy servant an understanding heart, to judge thy people, to discern between good and bad; for who is able to judge this thy numerous people?
是故に聽き別る心を僕に與へて汝の民を鞫しめ我をして善惡を辨別ることを得さしめたまへ誰か汝の此夥多き民を鞫くことを得んと
10 And the word pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.
ソロモン此事を求めければ其言主の心にかなへり
11 And God said to him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life, neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies, but hast asked for thyself discernment to understand judgment;
是において神かれにいひたまひけるは汝此事を求めて己の爲に長壽を求めず又己のために富有をも求めず又己の敵の生命をも求めずして惟訟を聽き別る才智を求めたるに因て
12 behold, I have done according to thy word: behold, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart, so that there hath been none like unto thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.
視よ我汝の言に循ひて爲り我汝に賢明く聡慧き心を與ふれば汝の先には汝の如き者なく汝の後にも汝の如き者興らざるべし
13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches and glory; so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.
我亦汝の求めざる者即ち富と貴とをも汝に與ふれば汝の生の涯王等の中に汝の如き者あらざるべし
14 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will prolong thy days.
又汝若汝の父ダビデの歩し如く吾道に歩みてわが法憲と命令を守らば我汝の日を長うせんと
15 And Solomon awoke, and behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings, and offered peace-offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.
ソロモン目寤て視るに夢なりき斯てソロモン、エルサレムに至りヱホバの契約の櫃の前に立ち燔祭を献げ酬恩祭を爲して其諸の臣僕に饗宴を爲り
16 Then came two women, harlots, to the king, and stood before him.
爰に娼妓なる二人の婦王の所に來りて其前に立ちしが
17 And the first woman said, Ah, my lord! I and this woman abode in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.
一人の婦いひけるはわが主よ我と此婦は一の家に住む我此婦と偕に家にありて子を生り
18 And it came to pass the third day after I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also; and we were together; no stranger was with us in the house, only we two were in the house.
しかるにわが生し後第三日に此婦もまた生りしかして我儕偕にありき家には他人の我らと偕に居りし者なし家には只我儕二人のみ
19 And this woman's child died in the night; because she had lain upon it.
然るに此婦其子の上に臥たるによりて夜の中に其子死たれば
20 And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thy handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead son in my bosom.
中夜に起て婢の眠れる間にわが子をわれの側より取りて之を己の懐に臥しめ己の死たる子をわが懐に臥しめたり
21 And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead; and I considered it in the morning, and behold, it was not my son, whom I bore.
朝に及びて我わが子に乳を飮せんとて興て見るに死ゐたり我朝にいたりて其を熟く視たるに其はわが生るわが子にはあらざりしと
22 And the other woman said, No, for the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this one said, No, but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spoke before the king.
今一人の婦いふ否活るはわが子死るは汝の子なりと此婦いふ否死るは汝の子活るはわが子なりと彼等斯王のまへに論り
23 Then said the king, The one says, This that is living is my son, and thy son is the dead; and the other says, No, for thy son is the dead, and my son is the living.
時に王いひけるは一人は此活るはわが子死るは汝の子なりと言ひ又一人は否死るは汝の子活るはわが子なりといふと
24 And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.
王乃ち劍を我に持來れといひければ劍を王の前に持來れり
25 And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.
王いひけるは活る子を二に分て其半を此に半を彼に與へよと
26 Then spoke the woman whose was the living child to the king, for her bowels yearned over her son, and she said, Ah, my lord! give her the living child, and in no wise put it to death. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine; divide it.
時に其活子の母なる婦人心其子のために焚がごとくなりて王に言していひけるは請ふわが主よ活る子を彼に與へたまへ必ず殺したまふなかれと然ども他の一人は是を我のにも汝のにもならしめず判たせよと言り
27 And the king answered and said, Give this one the living child, and in no wise put it to death: she is its mother.
王答ていひけるは活子を彼に與へよ必ず殺すなかれ彼は其母なるなりと
28 And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do justice.
イスラエル皆王の審理し所の判決を聞て王を畏れたり其は神の智慧の彼の中にありて審理を爲しむるを見たればなり
