1 Kings 10
1 And the queen of Saba, having; heard of the fame of Solomon in the name of the Lord, came to try him with hard questions.
シバの女王ヱホバの名に關るソロモンの風聞を聞き及び難問を以てソロモンを試みんとて來れり
2 And entering into Jerusalem with a great train, and riches, and camels that carried spices, and an immense quantity of gold, and precious stones, she came to king Solomon, and spoke to him all that she had in her heart.
彼甚だ多くの部從香物と甚だ多くの金と寶石を負ふ駱駝を從へてエルサレムに至る彼ソロモンの許に來り其心にある所を悉く之に言たるに
3 And Solomon informed her of all the things she proposed to him: there was not any word the king was ignorant of, and which he could not answer her.
ソロモン彼に其凡の事を告たり王の知ずして彼に告ざる事無りき
4 And when the queen of Saba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,
シバの女王ソロモンの諸の智慧と其建たる家と
5 And the meat of his table, and the apartments of his servants, and the order of his ministers, and their apparel, and the cupbearers, and the holocausts, which he offered in the house of the Lord: she had no longer any spirit in her,
其席の食物と其臣僕の列坐る事と其侍臣の伺候および彼等の衣服と其酒人と其ヱホバの家に上る階級とを見て全く其氣を奪はれたり
6 And she said to the king: The report is true, which I heard in my own country,
彼王にいひけるは我が自己の國にて爾の行爲と爾の智慧に付て聞たる言は眞實なりき
7 Concerning thy words, and concerning thy wisdom. And I did not believe them that told me, till I came myself, and saw with my own eyes, and have found that the half hath not been told me: thy wisdom and thy works, exceed the fame which I heard.
然ど我來りて目に見るまでは其言を信ぜざりしが今視るに其半も我に聞えざりしなり爾の智慧と昌盛はわが聞たる風聞に越ゆ
8 Blessed are thy men, and blessed are thy servants, who stand before thee always, and hear thy wisdom.
常に爾の前に立て爾の智慧を聽く是等の人爾の臣僕は幸福なるかな
9 Blessed be the Lord thy God, whom thou hast pleased, and who hath set thee upon the throne of Israel, because the Lord hath loved Israel for ever, and hath appointed thee king, to do judgment and justice.
爾の神ヱホバは讃べきかなヱホバ爾を悦び爾をイスラエルの位に上らせたまへりヱホバ永久にイスラエルを愛したまふに因て爾を王となして公道と義を行はしめたまふなりと
10 And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices a very great store, and precious stones: there was brought no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Saba gave to king Solomon.
彼乃ち金百二十タラント及び甚だ多くの香物と寶石とを王に饋れりシバの女王のソロモン王に饋りたるが如き多くの香物は重て至ざりき
11 (The navy also of Hiram, which brought gold from Ophir, brought from Ophir great plenty of thyine trees, and precious stones.
オフルより金を載來りたるヒラムの船は亦オフルより多くの白檀木と寶石とを運び來りければ
12 And the king made of the thyine trees the rails of the house of the Lord, and of the king’s house, and citterns and harps for singers: there were no such thyine trees as these brought, nor seen unto this day.)
王白檀木を以てヱホバの家と王の家とに欄干を造り歌謡者のために琴と瑟を造れり是の如き白檀木は至らざりき亦今日までも見たることなし
13 And king Solomon gave the queen of Saba all that she desired, and asked of him: besides what he offered he himself of his royal bounty. And she returned, and went to her own country with her servants.
ソロモン王王の例に循ひてシバの女王に物を饋りたる外に又彼が望に任せて凡て其求むる物を饋れり斯て彼其臣僕等とともに歸りて其國に往り
14 And the weight of the gold that was brought to Solomon every year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold:
偖一年にソロモンの所に至れる金の重量は六百六十六タラントなり
15 Besides that which the men brought him that were over the tributes, and the merchants, and they that sold by retail, and all the kings of Arabia, and the governors of the country.
外に又商買および商旅の交易並にアラビヤの王等と國の知事等よりも至れり
16 And Solomon made two hundred shields of the purest gold: he allowed six hundred sides of gold for the plates of one shield.
ソロモン王展金の大楯二百を造れり其大楯には各六百シケルの金を用ひたり
17 And three hundred targets of fine gold: three hundred pounds of gold covered one target: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Libanus.
又展金の干三百を造れり一の干に三斤の金を用ひたり王是等をレバノン森林の家に置り
18 King Solomon also made a great throne of ivory: and overlaid it with the finest gold.
王又象牙をもて大なる寳座を造り純金を以て之を蔽へり
19 It had six steps: and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were two hands on either side holding the seat: and two lions stood, one at each hand.
其寳座に六の階級あり寳座の後に圓き頭あり坐する處の兩旁に扶手ありて扶手の側に二の獅子立てり
20 And twelve little lions stood upon the six steps on the one side and on the other: there was no such work made in any kingdom.
又其六の階級に十二の獅子此旁彼旁に立り是の如き者を作れる國はあらざりき
21 Moreover all the vessels, out of which king Solomon drank, were of gold: and all the furniture of the house of the forest of Libanus was of most pure gold: there was no silver, nor was any account made of it in the days of Solomon:
ソロモン王の用ひて飮る器は皆金なり又レバノン森林の家の器も皆純金にして銀の物無りき銀はソロモンの世には貴まざりしなり
22 For the king’s navy, once in three years, went with the navy of Hiram by sea to Tharsis, and brought from thence gold, and silver, and elephants’ teeth, and apes, and peacocks.
其は王海にタルシシの船を有てヒラムの船と供にあらしめタルシシの船をして三年に一度金銀象牙猿猴および孔雀を載て來らしめたればなり
23 And king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches, and wisdom.
抑ソロモン王は富有と智慧に於て天下の諸の王よりも大なりければ
24 And all the earth desired to see Solomon’s face, to hear his wisdom, which God had given in his heart.
天下皆神がソロモンの心に授けたまへる智慧を聽んとてソロモンの面を見んことを求めたり
25 And every one brought him presents, vessels of silver and of gold, garments and armour, and spices, and horses and mules every year.
人々各其禮物を携へ來る即ち銀の器金の器衣服甲冑香物馬騾毎歳定分ありき
26 And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen, and he had a thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horseman: and he bestowed them in fenced cities, and with the king in Jerusalem.
ソロモン戰車と騎兵を集めたるに戰車千四百輛騎兵壱萬二千ありきソロモン之を戰車の城邑に置き或はエルサレムにて王の所に置り
27 And he made silver to be as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones: and cedars to be as common as sycamores which grow in the plains.
王エルサレムに於て銀を石の如くに爲し香柏を平地の桑樹の如くに爲して多く用ひたり
28 And horses were brought for Solomon out of Egypt, and Coa: for the king’s merchants brought them out of Coa, and bought them at a set price.
ソロモンの馬を獲たるはエジプトとコアよりなり即ち王の商賣コアより價値を以て取り
29 And a chariot of four horses came out of Egypt, for six hundred sides of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. And after this manner did all the kings of the Hethites, and of Syria, sell horses.
エジプトより上り出る戰車一輛は銀六百にして馬は百五十なりき斯のごとくヘテ人の凡の王等およびスリアの王等のために其手をもて取出せり
