1 Chronicles 22
1 Then David said, “Here, [at the edge of Jerusalem, ] is where [we will build] the temple for our God Yahweh, and where [we will make] the altar for burning the offerings that the Israeli [people will bring].”
ダビデ言けるはヱホバ神の室は此なりイスラエルの燔祭の壇は此なりと
2 So David commanded that the foreigners who lived in Israel must gather together. [When they did that, ] he appointed [some of those] men to [cut huge] stones [from the quarries] and to smooth their surfaces, to be used to build the temple of God.
ダビデすなはち命じてイスラエルの地に居る異邦人を集めしめ又神の室を建るに用ふる石を琢ために石工を設けたり
3 David provided a large amount of iron for making nails and hinges for the doors in the gates of the temple. He also provided so much bronze [for making the altar and various utensils], that no one could weigh it all.
ダビデまた門の扉の釘および鎹に用ふる鐵を夥しく備へたり又銅を數しれぬほどに夥しく備へたり
4 He also provided [money for buying] a large amount of cedar logs. Because there was a huge number of them, no one was able to count them. Those were logs that men from Tyre and Sidon [cities] sent to David.
また香柏を備ふること數しれず是はシドン人およびツロの者夥多しく香柏をダビデの所に運びきたりたればなり
5 David [provided all those things because he] thought, “My son Solomon is still young and he does not know what he needs to know [about building], and the temple of Yahweh must be (magnificent/very beautiful). It must be a glorious building that will become famous, and people throughout the world must consider it to be glorious/splendid. So now I will begin to prepare for it to be built, [and Solomon will be responsible for building it].” So David collected a great amount of building materials before he died.
ダビデ言けるは我子ソロモンは少くして弱し又ヱホバのために建る室は極めて高大にして萬國に名を得榮を得る者たらざる可らず今我其がために準備をなさんとダビデその死る前に大に之が準備をなせり
6 [When] David [was old, he] summoned his son Solomon, and told him that he should arrange for a temple to be built for Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worshiped].
而して彼その子ソロモンを召てイスラエルの神ヱホバのために家を建ることを之に命ぜり
7 He said to him, “I wanted [IDM] to build a temple to honor [MTY] Yahweh, my God.
即ちダビデ、ソロモンに言けるは我子よ我は我神ヱホバの名のために家を建る志ありき
8 But Yahweh told [a prophet to tell] me, ‘You have killed many men [MTY] in the battles that you have fought. I have seen the blood of all the people whom you killed, so you will not be the one who will arrange for a temple to be built to honor me [MTY].
然るにヱホバの言われに臨みて言り汝は多くの血を流し大なる戰爭を爲したり汝我前にて多の血を地に流したれば我名の爲に家を建べからず
9 But you will have a son [who will be king of Israel after you die]. He will be a man who is peaceful and quiet, [not a man who kills others]. And I will cause that there will be peace between him and his enemies who are in all the nearby lands. His name will be Solomon, [which sounds like the word for peace]. During the time that he is king, people in Israel will be peaceful and safe.
視よ男子汝に生れん是は平安の人なるべし我これに平安を賜ひてその四周の諸の敵に煩はさるること無らしめん故に彼の名はソロモン(平安)といふべし彼の世に我平安と靜謐をイスラエルに賜はん
10 He is the one who will arrange for a temple to be built to honor me [MTY]. He will be [like] a son to me, and I will cause some of his descendants to rule [MTY] over Israel forever [HYP].’
彼わが名のために家を建ん彼はわが子となり我は彼の父とならん我かれの國の祚を固うして永くイスラエルの上に立しめん
11 “So now, my son, I hope/wish that Yahweh will help you, and enable you to be successful in arranging for building the temple of Yahweh, your God, which is what he said that you would do.
然ば我子よ願くはヱホバ汝とともに在し汝を盛ならしめ汝の神ヱホバの室を建させて其なんぢにつきて言たる如くしたまはんことを
12 I also hope/wish that he will enable you to be wise and to understand what you need to know, and enable you to obey his laws while you rule over Israel.
惟ねがはくはヱホバ汝に智慧と穎悟を賜ひ汝をイスラエルの上に立て汝の神ヱホバの律法を汝に守らせたまはんことを
13 If you carefully obey all the laws and regulations/commands that Yahweh gave to Moses to give to us Israeli people, you will be successful. So be steadfast/strong and courageous. Do not be afraid of anything, and do not become discouraged!
汝もしヱホバがイスラエルにつきてモーセに命じたまひし法度と例規を謹みて行はば汝旺盛になるべし心を強くしかつ勇め懼るる勿れ慄くなかれ
14 “I have tried hard to provide [materials] for [building] the temple of Yahweh. I have provided nearly 4,000 tons of gold, and nearly 40,000 tons of silver. I have also provided a very large amount of iron and bronze; no one has been able to weigh it all. I have also gathered/provided lumber and stone [for the walls of the temple], but you may need to get some more of those things.
視よ我患難の中にてヱホバの室のために金十萬タラント銀百萬タラントを備へまた銅と鐵とを數しれぬほど夥多しく備へたり又材木と石をも備へたり汝また之に加ふべし
15 There are many men [in Israel] who have good ability to cut big stones for making stone walls, and carpenters, and men who are very skilled at making various kinds of things.
かつまた工人夥多しく汝の手にあり即ち石や木を琢刻む者および諸の工作を爲すところの工匠など都てあり
16 There are many men who know how to make things from gold and silver and bronze and iron. So now [I say to you], begin the work [of building the temple], and I hope/wish that Yahweh will help/be with you.”
夫金銀銅鐵は數限りなし汝起て爲せ願くはヱホバ汝とともに在せと
17 Then David commanded that all the Israeli leaders must assist Solomon. He said to them,
ダビデまたイスラエルの一切の牧伯等にその子ソロモンを助くることを命じて云く
18 “Yahweh our God is certainly with/helping you [RHQ]. He has allowed you to have peace with all the nearby nations [RHQ]. He has enabled my [army] to conquer [IDM] them, so now Yahweh and my people control them.
汝らの神ヱホバなんぢらと偕に在すならずや四方において泰平を汝らに賜へるならずや即ちこの地の民を我手に付したまひてこの地はヱホバの前とその民の前に服せり
19 Now you must obey Yahweh completely. Help Solomon to arrange for building the temple for Yahweh God, in order that you can bring the Sacred Chest that contains the Ten Commandments and the other sacred items that belong to God into the temple that you will build to honor Yahweh.”
然ば汝ら心をこめ精神をこめて汝らの神ヱホバを求めよ汝ら起てヱホバ神の聖所を建てヱホバの名のために建るその室にヱホバの契約の櫃と神の聖器を携さへいるべし
