2 Chronicles 9
1 And, the queen of Sheba, heard the report of Solomon, so she came to prove Solomon with abstruse questions, in Jerusalem, with a very great train, and camels bearing spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones, —and, when she was come to Solomon, she spake with him, as to all that was near 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 Solomon answered her all her questions, —and there was nothing hidden from Solomon, which he told her not.
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 And, when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built;
シバの女王ソロモンの智慧とその建たる家を觀
4 and the food of his table, and the seats of his servants, and the standing of his attendants, with their apparel, and his cupbearers, and their apparel, and his ascent whereby he used to ascend the house of Yahweh, then was there in her no more spirit.
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 said unto the king, True was the word, which I heard in my own land, —concerning thine affairs, and concerning thy wisdom.
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 believed not their words, until I had come and mine own eyes had seen, when lo! there had not been told me, the half of the fulness of thy wisdom, —thou dost exceed the report which 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 How happy! are thy men, and how happy! are these thy servants, —who are standing before thee continually, and hearing thy wisdom.
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 Yahweh thy God be blessed, who hath delighted in thee, to set thee upon his throne as king unto Yahweh thy God. Because of the love of thy God unto Israel, to establish them unto times age-abiding, therefore hath he set thee over them, as king, to execute justice and righteousness.
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 And she gave unto the king, a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance and precious stones, —and there was none like that spice, which the queen of Sheba gave unto King Solomon.
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 Moreover also, the servants of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought sandal-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 sandal-wood, stairs unto the house of Yahweh, and unto the house of the king, also lyres and harps, for the singers, —and there were none seen like them before, in the land of Judah.
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 Solomon, gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, besides [a return for] that which she had brought unto the king, —so she turned, and went away to her own land, she, and her servants.
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 Now, the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold;
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 what came in from the subjugated, and what the travelling merchants were bringing in, —and, all the kings of Arabia and the pashas of the land, were bringing gold and silver, unto Solomon.
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 Solomon made two hundred shields of beaten gold, —six hundred [shekels] of beaten gold, overlay one shield;
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 also three hundred bucklers of beaten gold, three hundred [shekels] of gold, overlay one buckler, —and the king placed them in the house of the forest 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 ivory, —and overlaid it with pure gold;
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 there were six steps to the throne, and a footstool in gold, unto the throne, made fast, and supports, on this side and on that, unto the seat, —and, two lions, standing by the supports;
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, twelve lions, standing there upon the six steps, on this side and on that, —there was never made the like, for any kingdom.
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 the drinking vessels of King Solomon, were of gold, and, all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon, were of purified gold, —there was no silver, it was esteemed, in the days of Solomon, as nothing.
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 ships of the king, used to go to Tarshish, with the servants of Huram, —once in three years, came in the ships of Tarshish, bearing gold and silver, ivory and apes, and peacocks.
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 And so King Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth, —as to riches, and wisdom.
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, were seeking the face of Solomon, —to hear his wisdom, which 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, were bringing in every man his present—utensils of silver, and utensils of gold, and mantles, armour, and spices, horses and mules, —the need of a year in a year.
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 Solomon had four thousand stalls of horses, and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, —and he settled them in the chariot cities, and with the king in Jerusalem.
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 ruled over all the kings, —from the river [Euphrates], even up to the land of the Philistines, yea up to the bounds 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 made the silver in Jerusalem like the stones, —and, the cedar trees, made he like the sycomores which are in the lowland, for abundance.
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 used to bring horses out of Egypt unto Solomon, and out of all lands.
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 Now, the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the records of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer, concerning Jeroboam son 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 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel, forty years.
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 Solomon slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David his father, —and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
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
