< 2 Chronicles 1 >
1 And he strengthened himself Solomon [the] son of David over kingdom his and Yahweh God his [was] with him and he made great him upwards.
ダビデの子ソロモンはその国に自分の地位を確立した。その神、主が共にいまして彼を非常に大いなる者にされた。
2 And he spoke Solomon to all Israel to [the] commanders of the thousands and the hundreds and to the judges and to every leader of all Israel [the] heads of the fathers.
ソロモンはすべてのイスラエルびと、すなわち千人の長、百人の長、さばきびとおよびイスラエルの全地のすべてのつかさ、氏族のかしらたちに告げた。
3 And they went Solomon and all the assembly with him to the high place which [was] at Gibeon for there it was [the] tent of meeting of God which he had made Moses [the] servant of Yahweh in the wilderness.
そしてソロモンとイスラエルの全会衆はともにギベオンにある高き所へ行った。主のしもべモーセが荒野で造った神の会見の幕屋がそこにあったからである。
4 But [the] ark of God he had brought up David from Kiriath Jearim in where he had prepared for it David for he had pitched for it a tent in Jerusalem.
(しかし神の箱はダビデがすでにキリアテ・ヤリムから、これのために備えた所に運び上らせてあった。ダビデはさきに、エルサレムでこれのために天幕を張って置いたからである。)
5 And [the] altar of bronze which he had made Bezalel [the] son of Uri [the] son of Hur he had put before [the] tabernacle of Yahweh and he sought it Solomon and the assembly.
またホルの子であるウリの子ベザレルが造った青銅の祭壇がその所の主の幕屋の前にあり、ソロモンおよび会衆は主に求めた。
6 And he went up Solomon there to [the] altar of bronze before Yahweh which [was] to [the] tent of meeting and he offered up on it burnt offerings a thousand.
ソロモンはそこに上って行って、会見の幕屋のうちにある主の前の青銅の祭壇に燔祭一千をささげた。
7 In the night that he appeared God to Solomon and he said to him ask what? will I give to you.
その夜、神はソロモンに現れて言われた、「あなたに何を与えようか、求めなさい」。
8 And he said Solomon to God you you have done with David father my covenant loyalty great and you have made king me in place of him.
ソロモンは神に言った、「あなたはわたしの父ダビデに大いなるいつくしみを示し、またわたしを彼に代って王とされました。
9 Now O Yahweh God let it be established word your with David father my for you you have made king me over a people numerous like [the] dust of the earth.
主なる神よ、どうぞわが父ダビデに約束された事を果してください。あなたは地のちりのような多くの民の上にわたしを立てて王とされたからです。
10 Now wisdom and knowledge give to me so let me go out before the people this so I may come for who? will he judge people your this great.
この民の前に出入りすることのできるように今わたしに知恵と知識とを与えてください。だれがこのような大いなるあなたの民をさばくことができましょうか」。
11 And he said God - to Solomon because that it was this with heart your and not you have asked for wealth riches and honor and [the] life of [those who] hate you and also days many not you have asked for and you have asked for for yourself wisdom and knowledge that you will judge people my which I have made king you over it.
神はソロモンに言われた、「この事があなたの心にあって、富をも、宝をも、誉をも、またあなたを憎む者の命をも求めず、また長命をも求めず、ただわたしがあなたを立てて王としたわたしの民をさばくために知恵と知識とを自分のために求めたので、
12 The wisdom and the knowledge [is] given to you and wealth and riches and honor I will give to you which - not it belonged thus to the kings who [were] before you and after you not it will be thus.
知恵と知識とはあなたに与えられている。わたしはまたあなたの前の王たちの、まだ得たことのないほどの富と宝と誉とをあなたに与えよう。あなたの後の者も、このようなものを得ないでしょう」。
13 And he went Solomon to the high place which [was] at Gibeon Jerusalem from to before [the] tent of meeting and he reigned over Israel.
それからソロモンはギベオンの高き所を去り、会見の幕屋の前を去って、エルサレムに帰り、イスラエルを治めた。
14 And he gathered Solomon chariot[s] and warhorses and it belonged to him one thousand and four hundred chariot[s] and two [plus] ten thousand warhorses and he placed them in [the] cities of chariotry and with the king in Jerusalem.
ソロモンは戦車と騎兵とを集めたが、戦車一千四百両、騎兵一万二千人あった。ソロモンはこれを戦車の町々と、エルサレムの王のもととに置いた。
15 And he made the king silver and gold in Jerusalem like stones and cedars he made like the sycamores which [are] in the Shephelah for abundance.
王は銀と金を石のようにエルサレムに多くし、香柏を平野のいちじく桑のように多くした。
16 And [the] export of the horses which [belonged] to Solomon [was] from Egypt and from Que [the] traders of the king from Que they took [them] for a price.
ソロモンが馬を輸入したのはエジプトとクエからであった。すなわち王の貿易商人がクエから代価を払って受け取って来た。
17 And they brought up and they brought out from Egypt a chariot for six hundred silver and a horse for fifty and one hundred and thus to all [the] kings of the Hittites and [the] kings of Aram by hand their they brought [them] out.
彼らはエジプトから戦車一両を銀六百シケルで輸入し、馬一頭を銀百五十で輸入した。同じようにこれらのものが彼らによってヘテびとのすべての王たち、およびスリヤの王たちにも輸出された。
