2 Chronicles 2
1 And Solomon purposed to build a house for the name of Jehovah, and a house for his kingdom.
茲にソロモン、ヱホバの名のために一の家を建てまた己の國のために一の家を建んとし
2 And Solomon numbered seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand stone-masons in the mountain, and three thousand six hundred to superintend them.
ソロモンすなはち荷を負べき者七萬人山において木や石を斫べき者八萬人是等を監督すべき者三千六百人を數へ出せり
3 And Solomon sent to Huram king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him a house to dwell therein [so do for me].
ソロモンまづツロの王ヒラムに人を遣して言しめけるは汝はわが父ダビデにその住むべき家を建る香柏をおくれり請ふ彼になせしごとく亦我にもせよ
4 Behold, I build a house unto the name of Jehovah my God to dedicate it to him, to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual arrangement [of the shewbread], and for the morning and evening burnt-offerings [and] on the sabbaths and on the new moons, and on the set feasts of Jehovah our God. This is [an ordinance] for ever to Israel.
今我わが神ヱホバの名のために一の家を建て之を聖別て彼に奉つり彼の前に馨しき香を焚き常に供前のパンを供へ燔祭を朝夕に献げまた安息日月朔ならびに我らの神ヱホバの節期などに献げんとす是はイスラエルの永く行ふべき事なればなり
5 And the house that I will build is great; for great is our God above all gods.
我建る家は大なり其は我らの神は諸の神よりも大なればなり
6 But who is able to build him a house, seeing the heavens and the heaven of heavens cannot contain him? And who am I that I should build him a house, except to burn sacrifice before him?
然ながら天も諸天の天も彼を容ること能はざれば誰か彼のために家を建ることを得んや我は何人ぞや爭か彼のために家を建ることを得ん唯彼の前に香を焚くためのみ
7 And now send me a man skilful to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze, and in iron, and in purple and crimson and blue, and experienced in carving, besides the skilful men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.
然ば請ふ今金銀銅鐵の細工および紫赤靑の製造に精しく雕刻の術に巧なる工人一箇を我に遣り我父ダビデが備へおきたるユダとヱルサレムのわが工人とともに操作しめよ
8 Send me also cedar-trees, cypress-trees, and sandal-wood trees, out of Lebanon; for I know that thy servants are experienced in cutting timber in Lebanon; and behold, my servants shall be with thy servants,
請ふ汝また香柏松木および白檀をレバノンより我におくれ我なんぢの僕等がレバノンにて木を斫ることを善するを知るなり我僕また汝の僕と共に操作べし
9 even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house that I build shall be great and wonderful.
是のごとくして我ために材木を多く備へしめよ其は我が建んとする家は高大を極むる者なるべければなり
10 And behold, I will give to thy servants the hewers that fell timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.
我は木を斫る汝の僕に搗麥二萬石大麥二萬石酒二萬バテ油二萬バテを與ふべしと
11 And Huram king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because Jehovah loved his people, he made thee king over them.
是においてツロの王ヒラム書をソロモンにおくりて之に答へて云ふヱホバその民を愛するが故に汝をもて之が王となせりと
12 And Huram said, Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, that made the heavens and the earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, who will build a house for Jehovah and a house for his kingdom.
ヒラムまた言けるは天地の造主なるイスラエルの神ヱホバは讃べきかな彼はダビデ王に賢き子を與へて之に分別と才智とを賦け之をしてヱホバのために家を建てまた己の國のために家を建ることを得せしむ 今我わが達人ヒラムといふ才智ある工人一人を汝におくる
13 And now, I send a skilful man, endued with understanding, Huram Abi,
14 the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and whose father was a man of Tyre, experienced in working in gold, and in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in byssus, and in crimson, and for doing any manner of engraving, and for inventing every device which shall be put to him, besides thy skilful men, and the skilful men of my lord David thy father.
彼はダンの子孫たる婦の產る者にて其父はツロの人なるが金銀銅鐵木石の細工および紫布靑布細布赤布の織法に精しく又能く各種の雕刻を爲し奇巧を凝して諸の工をなすなり然ば彼を用ひてなんぢの工人および汝の父わが主ダビデの工人とともに操作しめよ
15 And now the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants.
是については我主の宣まへる小麥大麥油および酒をその僕等に遣りたまへ
16 And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need; and we will bring it to thee [in] floats by sea to Joppa, and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem.
汝の凡て需むるごとく我らレバノンより木を斫いだしこれを筏にくみて海よりヨツバにおくるべければ汝これをヱルサレムに運びのぼりたまへと
17 And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the account that David his father had taken of them, and there were found a hundred and fifty-three thousand six hundred.
ここにおいてソロモンその父ダビデが核數しごとくイスラエルの國にをる異邦人をことごとく核數みるに合せて十五萬三千六百人ありければ
18 And he set seventy thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and eighty thousand to be stone-masons in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred overseers to set the people to work.
その七萬人をもて荷を負ふ者となし八萬人をもて山にて木や石を斫る者となし三千六百人をもて民を操作かしむる監督者となせり
