2 Chronicles 9
1 And when the Queene of Sheba heard of the fame of Salomon, she came to proue Salomon with hard questions at Ierusalem, with a very great traine, and camels that bare sweete odours and much golde, and precious stones: and when she came to Salomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
茲にシバの女王ソロモンの風聞を聞および難問をもてソロモンを試みんとて甚だ衆多の部從をしたがへ香物と夥多き金と寶石とを駱駝に負せてヱルサレムに來りソロモンの許にいたりてその心にある所をことごとく之に陳けるに
2 And Salomon declared her all her questions, and there was nothing hid from Salomon, which he declared not vnto her.
ソロモンこれが問に盡く答へたりソロモンの知ずして答へざる事は無りき
3 Then the Queene of Sheba sawe the wisedome of Salomon, and the house that he had buylt,
シバの女王ソロモンの智慧とその建たる家を觀
4 And the meate of his table, and the sitting of his seruants, and the order of his wayters, and their apparel, and his butlers, and their apparel, and his burnt offrings which he offred in the house of the Lord, and she was greatly astonied.
またその席の食物とその諸臣の列坐る状とその侍臣の伺候状と彼らの衣服およびその酒人とその衣服ならびに彼がヱホバの家に上りゆく昇道を觀におよびて全くその氣を奪はれたり
5 And she saide to the King, It was a true worde which I heard in mine owne lande of thy sayings, and of thy wisedome:
是において彼王に言けるは我が自己の國にて汝の行爲と汝の智慧とにつきて聞およびたる言は眞實なりき
6 Howbeit I beleeued not their report, vntil I came, and mine eyes had seene it: and beholde, the one halfe of thy great wisedom was not told me: for thou exceedest the fame that I heard.
然るに我は來りて目に觀るまではその言を信ぜざりしが今視ば汝の智慧の大なる事我が聞たるはその半分にも及ばざりき汝は我が聞たる風聞に愈れり
7 Happie are thy men, and happie are these thy seruants, which stande before thee alway, and heare thy wisedome.
汝の人々は幸福なるかな汝の前に常に立て汝の智慧を聽る此なんぢの臣僕等は幸福なるかな
8 Blessed be the Lord thy God, which loued thee, to set thee on his throne as King, in the steade of the Lord thy God: because thy God loueth Israel, to establish it for euer, therefore hath he made thee King ouer them, to execute iudgement and iustice.
汝の神ヱホバは讃べき哉彼なんぢを悦こびてその位に上らせ汝の神ヱホバの爲に汝を王となしたまへり汝の神イスラエルを愛して永く之を堅うせんとするが故に汝を之が王となして公平と正義を行はせたまふなりと
9 Then she gaue the King sixe score talents of golde, and of sweete odours exceeding much and precious stones: neither was there such sweete odours since, as the Queene of Sheba gaue vnto King Salomon.
すなはち金百二十タラントおよび莫大の香物と寶石とを王に饋れりシバの女王がソロモン王に饋りたるが如き香物は未だ曾て有ざりしなり
10 And the seruants also of Huram, and the seruants of Salomon which brought golde from Ophir, brought Algummim wood and precious stones.
(かのオフルより金を取きたりしヒラムの臣僕とソロモンの臣僕等また白檀木と寶石とをも携さへいたりければ
11 And the King made of the Algummim wood staires in the house of the Lord, and in the Kings house, and harpes and violes for singers: and there was no such seene before in the lande of Iudah.
王その白檀木をもてヱホバの家と王の宮とに段階を作りまた謳歌者のために琴と瑟とを作れり是より前には是のごとき者ユダの地に見しこと無りき)
12 And King Salomon gaue to the Queene of Sheba euery pleasant thing that she asked, besides for that which she had brought vnto the King: so she returned and went to her owne countrey, both she, and her seruants.
ソロモン王シバの女王に物を饋りてその携へきたれる所に報いたるが上にまた之が望にまかせて凡てその求むる者を與へたり斯て彼はその臣僕とともに去てその國に還りぬ
13 Also the weight of golde that came to Salomon in one yeere, was sixe hundreth three score and sixe talents of golde,
一年にソロモンの所に來れる金の重量は六百六十六タラントなり
14 Besides that which chapmen and marchants brought: and all the Kings of Arabia, and the princes of the countrey brought golde and siluer to Salomon.
この外にまた商賣および商旅の携へきたる者ありアラビアの一切の王等および國の知事等もまた金銀をソロモンに携へ至れり
15 And King Salomon made two hundreth targets of beaten golde, and sixe hundreth shekels of beaten golde went to one target,
ソロモン王展金の大楯二百を作れりその大楯一枚には展金六百シケルを用ふ
16 And three hundreth shieldes of beaten golde: three hundreth shekels of golde went to one shielde, and the King put them in the house of the wood of Lebanon.
また展金の小干三百を作れり其小干一枚には金三百シケルを用ふ王これらをレバノン森の家に置り
17 And the King made a great throne of yuorie and ouerlaid it with pure golde.
王また象牙をもて大なる寳座一を造り純金をもて之を蔽へり
18 And the throne had sixe steppes, with a footestoole of gold fastened to the throne, and stayes on either side on the place of the seate, and two lyons standing by the stayes.
その寳座には六の階級あり又金の足臺ありて共にその寳座に連なりその坐する處の此旁彼旁に按手ありて按手の側に二頭の獅子立をり
19 And twelue lyons stoode there on the sixe steps on either side: there was not the like made in any kingdome.
その六の階級に十二の獅子ありて此旁彼旁に立り是のごとき者を作れる國は未だ曾て有ざりしなり
20 And all King Salomons drinking vessels were of golde, and all the vessels of the house of the wood of Lebanon were of pure gold: for siluer was nothing esteemed in ye dayes of Salomon.
ソロモン王の用ゐる飮料の器は皆金なりまたレバノン森の家の器もことごとく精金なり銀はソロモンの世には何とも算ざりしなり
21 For the Kings ships went to Tarshish with the seruants of Huram, euery three yeere once came the ships of Tarshish, and brought golde, and siluer, yuorie, and apes, and peacockes.
其は王の舟ヒラムの僕を乗てタルシシに往き三年毎に一回その舟タルシシより金銀象牙猿および孔雀を載て來りたればたり
22 So King Salomon excelled all the Kings of the earth in riches and wisedome.
ソロモン王は天下の諸王に勝りて富有と智慧とをもちたれば
23 And all the Kings of the earth sought the presence of Salomon, to heare his wisedome that God had put in his heart.
天下の諸王みな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
24 And they brought euery man his present, vessels of siluer, and vessels of golde, and raiment, armour, and sweet odours, horses, and mules, from yeere to yeere.
各々その禮物を携さへ來る即ち銀の器金の器衣服甲冑香物馬騾など年々定分ありき
25 And Salomon had foure thousand stalles of horses, and charets, and twelue thousand horsmen, whom he bestowed in the charet cities, and with the King at Ierusalem.
ソロモン戰車の馬四千厩騎兵一萬二千あり王これを戰車の邑々に置きまたヱルサレムにて自己の所に置り
26 And he reigned ouer all the Kings from the Riuer euen vnto the land of the Philistims, and to the border of Egypt.
彼は河よりペリシテの地とエジプトの界までの諸王を統治めたり
27 And the King gaue siluer in Ierusalem, as stones, and gaue cedar trees as the wilde fig trees, that are aboundant in the plaine.
王は銀を石のごとくヱルサレムに多からしめまた香柏を平野の桑木のごとく多からしめたり
28 And they brought vnto Salomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all landes.
また人衆エジプトなどの諸國より馬をソロモンに率いたれり
29 Concerning the rest of the actes of Salomon first and last, are they not written in the booke of Nathan the Prophet, and in the prophecie of Ahiiah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Ieedo the Seer against Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat?
ソロモンのその餘の始終の行爲は預言者ナタンの書とシロ人アヒヤの預言と先見者イドがネバテの子ヤラベアムにつきて述たる默旨の中に記さるるにあらずや
30 And Salomon reigned in Ierusalem ouer all Israel fourtie yeeres.
ソロモンはヱルサレムにて四十年の間イスラエルの全地を治めたり
31 And Salomon slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the citie of Dauid his father: and Rehoboam his sonne reigned in his steade.
ソロモンその先祖等と倶に寝りてその父ダビデの邑に葬られ其子レハベアムこれに代りて王となれり
