2 Chronicles 8
1 And it comes to pass at the end of twenty years that Solomon has built the house of YHWH and his own house.
ソロモンは二十年を経て、主の家と自分の家とを建て終った。
2 As for the cities that Huram has given to Solomon, Solomon has built them, and he causes the sons of Israel to dwell there.
またソロモンはヒラムから送られた町々を建て直して、そこにイスラエルの人々を住ませた。
3 And Solomon goes to Hamath-Zobah, and lays hold on it;
ソロモンはまたハマテ・ゾバを攻めて、これを取った。
4 and he builds Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the cities of store that he has built in Hamath.
彼はまた荒野にタデモルを建て、もろもろの倉の町をハマテに建てた。
5 And he builds Beth-Horon the upper, and Beth-Horon the lower—cities of defense, with walls, double gates, and bar—
また城壁、門、貫の木のある堅固な町、上ベテホロンと下ベテホロンを建てた。
6 and Ba‘alath, and all the cities of store that Solomon had, and all the cities of the chariot, and the cities of the horsemen, and all the desire of Solomon that he desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
ソロモンはまたバアラテと自分のもっていたすべての倉の町と、すべての戦車の町と、騎兵の町、ならびにエルサレム、レバノンおよび自分の治める全地方に建てようと望んだものを、ことごとく建てた。
7 All the people who are left of the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, who are not of Israel—
すべてイスラエルの子孫でないヘテびと、アモリびと、ペリジびと、ヒビびと、エブスびとの残った民、
8 of their sons who have been left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel did not consume—Solomon lifts up a tribute to this day.
その地にあって彼らのあとに残ったその子孫、すなわちイスラエルの子孫が滅ぼし尽さなかった民に、ソロモンは強制徴募をおこなって今日に及んでいる。
9 And Solomon has made none of the sons of Israel servants for his work, but they [are] men of war, and heads of his captains, and heads of his charioteers, and of his horsemen;
しかし、イスラエルの人々をソロモンはその工事のためには、ひとりも奴隷としなかった。彼らは兵士となり、将校となり、戦車と、騎兵の長となった。
10 and these [are] heads of the officers whom King Solomon has, two hundred and fifty who are rulers among the people.
これらはソロモン王のおもな官吏で、二百五十人あり、民を治めた。
11 And Solomon has brought up the daughter of Pharaoh from the City of David to the house that he built for her, for he said, “My wife does not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, for they are holy to whom the Ark of YHWH has come.”
ソロモンはパロの娘をダビデの町から連れ上って、彼女のために建てた家に入れて言った、「主の箱を迎えた所は神聖であるから、わたしの妻はイスラエルの王ダビデの家に住んではならない」。
12 Then Solomon has caused burnt-offerings to ascend to YHWH on the altar of YHWH that he built before the porch,
ソロモンは廊の前に築いておいた主の祭壇の上で主に燔祭をささげた。
13 even by the matter of a day in its day, to cause to ascend according to the command of Moses, on Sabbaths, and on new moons, and on appointed times, three times in a year—in the Celebration of Unleavened Things, and in the Celebration of Weeks, and in the Celebration of Shelters.
すなわちモーセの命令に従って、毎日定めのようにささげ、安息日、新月および年に三度の祭、すなわち種入れぬパンの祭、七週の祭、仮庵の祭にこれをささげた。
14 And he establishes, according to the ordinance of his father David, the divisions of the priests over their service, and of the Levites over their charges, to praise and to minister before the priests, according to the matter of a day in its day, and the gatekeepers in their divisions at every gate, for so [is] the command of David the man of God.
ソロモンは、その父ダビデのおきてに従って、祭司の組を定めてその職に任じ、またレビびとをその勤めに任じて、毎日定めのように祭司の前でさんびと奉仕をさせ、また門を守る者に、その組にしたがって、もろもろの門を守らせた。これは神の人ダビデがこのように命じたからである。
15 And they have not turned aside [from] the command of the king concerning the priests and the Levites, in reference to any matter, and to the treasures.
祭司とレビびとはすべての事につき、また倉の事について、王の命令にそむかなかった。
16 And all the work of Solomon is prepared until the day of the foundation of the house of YHWH, and until its completion; the house of YHWH is perfect.
このようにソロモンは、主の宮の基をすえた日からこれをなし終えたときまで、その工事の準備をことごとくなしたので、主の宮は完成した。
17 Then Solomon has gone to Ezion-Geber, and to Elath, on the border of the sea, in the land of Edom;
それからソロモンはエドムの地の海べにあるエジオン・ゲベルおよびエロテへ行った。
18 and Huram sends to him, by the hand of his servants, ships and servants knowing the sea, and they go with servants of Solomon to Ophir, and take four hundred and fifty talents of gold from there, and bring it to King Solomon.
時にヒラムはそのしもべどもの手によって船団を彼に送り、また海の事になれたしもべどもをつかわしたので、彼らはソロモンのしもべらと共にオフルへ行き、そこから金四百五十タラントを取って、これをソロモン王のもとに携えてきた。
