< 1 Kings 9 >

1 After Solomon’s [workers] had finished building the temple and his palace and everything else that Solomon wanted them to build,
ソロモン、ヱホバの家と王の家を建る事を終へ且凡てソロモンが爲んと欲し望を遂し時
2 Yahweh appeared to him [in a dream] a second time, like he had appeared to him at [the city of] Gibeon.
ヱホバ再ソロモンに甞てギベオンにて顯現たまひし如くあらはれたまひて
3 Yahweh said to him, “I heard what you prayed and what you pleaded for me to do. I have set apart/dedicated this temple which your [workers] have built to be the place where people will worship me forever. I will always watch over it and protect it.
彼に言たまひけるは我は爾が我まへに願し祈祷と祈願を聽たり我爾が建たる此家を聖別てわが名を永く其處に置べし且わが目とわが心は恒に其處にあるべし
4 “And as for you, if you conduct your life as I want you to, like your father David did, and if you very sincerely obey all the statutes and laws that I have commanded you to obey,
爾若爾の父ダビデの歩みし如く心を完うして正しく我前に歩みわが爾に命じたる如く凡て行ひてわが憲法と律例を守らば
5 I will do what I promised your father that I would do: I promised him that Israel would always be ruled by his descendants.
我は爾の父ダビデに告てイスラエルの位に上る人爾に缺ること無るべしと言しごとく爾のイスラエルに王たる位を固うすべし
6 “But if you or your descendants turn away from me and disobey the commands and decrees that I have given to you, and if you start to worship other gods,
若爾等又は爾等の子孫全く轉きて我にしたがはずわが爾等のまへに置たるわが誡命と法憲を守らずして往て他の神に事へ之を拝まば
7 I will remove my Israeli people from the land that I have given to them. I will also abandon this temple that I have set apart/dedicated to be the place where people should worship me. Then people everywhere will despise [the people of] Israel and make fun of them.
我イスラエルをわが與へたる地の面より絶ん又わが名のために我が聖別たる此家をば我わがまへより投げ棄んしかしてイスラエルは諸の民の中に諺語となり嘲笑となるべし
8 This temple will become a heap of ruins. Everyone who passes by will be astonished [when they see it], and they will be shocked and say, ‘Why has Yahweh done this to this land and to this temple?’
且又此家は高くあれども其傍を過る者は皆之に驚き嘶きて言んヱホバ何故に此地に此家に斯爲たまひしやと
9 And other people will reply, ‘It happened because the Israeli people abandoned Yahweh their God, the one who brought their ancestors out of Egypt. They started to accept and worship other gods. And that is why Yahweh has caused them to experience all these disasters.’”
人答へて彼等は己の父祖をエジプトの地より導き出せし其神ヱホバを棄て他の神に附從ひ之を拝み之に事へしに因てヱホバ此の凡の害惡を其上に降せるなりと言ん
10 Solomon’s [workers] labored for 20 years to build the temple and the palace.
ソロモン二十年を經て二の家即ちヱホバの家と王の家を建をはりヒウムにガリラヤの地の城邑二十を與へたり
11 Hiram, the king of Tyre had [arranged for his workers to] give Solomon all the cedar and pine [logs] and all the gold that he needed [for this work]. After it was all finished, King Solomon gave to Hiram 20 cities in the Galilee region.
其はツロの王ヒラムはソロモンに凡て其望に循ひて香柏と松の木と金を供給たればなり
12 But when Hiram went from Tyre [to Galilee] to see the cities that Solomon had given to him, he was not pleased with them.
ヒラム、ツロより出てソロモンが己に與へたる諸邑を見しに其目に善らざりければ
13 He said to Solomon, “My friend, those cities that you gave me are worthless!” So, that area is still called ‘Worthless’.
我兄第よ爾が我に與へたる此等の城邑は何なるやといひて之をカブルの地となづけたり其名今日までのこる
14 Hiram paid Solomon only five tons of gold [for those cities].
甞てヒラムは金百二十タラントを王に遣れり
15 This is a record of the work that King Solomon forced men to do. He forced them to build the temple and his palace and the terraces/landfills [on the east side of the city], and the wall around Jerusalem, and [to rebuild the cities of] Hazor and Megiddo and Gezer.
ソロモン王の徴募人を興せし事は是なり即ちヱホバの家と自己の家とミロとエルサレムの石垣とハゾルとメギドンとゲゼルを建んが爲なりき
16 [The reason they needed to rebuild Gezer was that the army of] the king of Egypt had attacked Gezer and captured it. Then they had burned [the houses in] the city and killed all the people of the Canaan people-group who lived there. The king of Egypt gave that city to his daughter as a gift when she married Solomon.
エジプトの王パロ嘗て上りてゲゼルを取り火を以て之を燬き其邑に住るカナン人を殺し之をソロモンの妻なる其女に與へて粧奩と爲り
17 So Solomon’s workers also rebuilt Gezer, and they also rebuilt Lower Beth-Horon [city].
ソロモン、ゲゼルと下ベテホロンと
18 They also rebuilt Baalath and Tamar [towns] in the desert in [the southern part of] Judah.
バアラと國の野にあるタデモル
19 They also built cities where they kept the supplies for Solomon, the places where his horses and chariots were kept. They also built everything else that Solomon wanted them to build, in Jerusalem and in Lebanon, and in other places in the area over which he ruled.
及びソロモンの有てる府庫の諸邑其戰車の諸邑其騎兵の諸邑並にソロモンがエルサレム、レバノンおよび其凡の領地に於て建んと欲し者を盡く建たり
20 There were many people who belonged to the Amor people-group, the Heth people-group, the Periz people-group, the Hiv people-group, and the Jebus people-group who were not killed when the Israelis captured their land.
凡てイスラエルの子孫に非るアモリ人ヘテ人ペリジ人ヒビ人ヱブス人の遺存る者
21 [Their descendants still lived in Israel]. It was those people whom Solomon forced to become his slaves [to build all those places], and they are still slaves.
其地に在て彼等の後に遺存る子孫即ちイスラエルの子孫の滅し盡すことを得ざりし者にソロモン奴隸の徴募を行ひて今日に至る
22 But Solomon did not force any Israeli people to become slaves. Some Israelis became soldiers and army officers and commanders and drivers of his chariots and soldiers who rode on horses.
然どもイステエルの子孫をばソロモン一人も奴隸と爲ざりき其は彼等は軍人彼の臣僕牧伯大將たり戰車と騎兵の長たればなり
23 There were 550 officials who supervised the slaves who worked [to build all those places].
ソロモンの工事を管理れる首なる官吏は五百五十人にして工事に働く民を治めたり
24 After [Solomon’s wife, who was] the daughter of the king of Egypt, moved from [the place outside Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’ to the palace that Solomon’s workers built for her, Solomon [told his workers to] fill in the slopes on the east side of the city.
爰にパロの女ダビデの城より上りてソロモンが彼のために建たる家に至る其時にソロモン、ミロを建たり
25 Three times each year Solomon [brought to the temple] offerings that were completely burned [on the altar] and offerings to restore fellowship with Yahweh. He also brought incense to be burned in the presence of Yahweh. And so his men finished building the temple.
ソロモン、ヱホバに築きたる壇の上に年に三次燔祭と酬恩祭を献げ又ヱホバの前なる壇に香を焚りソロモン斯家を全うせり
26 King Solomon’s [workers] also built a fleet of ships at Ezion-Geber [city], which is near Elath [city], on the shore of the Gulf of Aqaba, in the land belonging to the Edom people-group.
ソロモン王エドムの地紅海の濱に於てエラテの邊なるエジオンゲベルにて船數雙を造れり
27 [King] Hiram sent some very expert sailors to work on the ships with Solomon’s workers.
ヒラム海の事を知れる舟人なる其僕をソロモンの僕と偕に其船にて遣せり
28 They sailed to [the] Ophir [region] and brought back to Solomon about 16 tons of gold.
彼等オフルに至り其處より金四百二十タラントを取てこれをソロモン王の所に携來る
