1 Kings 10
1 When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the LORD’s name, she came to test him with hard questions.
シバの女王ヱホバの名に關るソロモンの風聞を聞き及び難問を以てソロモンを試みんとて來れり
2 She came to Jerusalem with a very great caravan, with camels that bore spices, very much gold, and precious stones; and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him about all that was in her heart.
彼甚だ多くの部從香物と甚だ多くの金と寶石を負ふ駱駝を從へてエルサレムに至る彼ソロモンの許に來り其心にある所を悉く之に言たるに
3 Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything hidden from the king which he didn’t tell her.
ソロモン彼に其凡の事を告たり王の知ずして彼に告ざる事無りき
4 When the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,
シバの女王ソロモンの諸の智慧と其建たる家と
5 the food of his table, the sitting of his servants, the attendance of his officials, their clothing, his cup bearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the LORD’s house, there was no more spirit in her.
其席の食物と其臣僕の列坐る事と其侍臣の伺候および彼等の衣服と其酒人と其ヱホバの家に上る階級とを見て全く其氣を奪はれたり
6 She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom.
彼王にいひけるは我が自己の國にて爾の行爲と爾の智慧に付て聞たる言は眞實なりき
7 However, I didn’t believe the words until I came and my eyes had seen it. Behold, not even half was told me! Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.
然ど我來りて目に見るまでは其言を信ぜざりしが今視るに其半も我に聞えざりしなり爾の智慧と昌盛はわが聞たる風聞に越ゆ
8 Happy are your men, happy are these your servants who stand continually before you, who hear your wisdom.
常に爾の前に立て爾の智慧を聽く是等の人爾の臣僕は幸福なるかな
9 Blessed is the LORD your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel. Because the LORD loved Israel forever, therefore he made you king, to do justice and righteousness.”
爾の神ヱホバは讃べきかなヱホバ爾を悦び爾をイスラエルの位に上らせたまへりヱホバ永久にイスラエルを愛したまふに因て爾を王となして公道と義を行はしめたまふなりと
10 She gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and a very great quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again was there such an abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
彼乃ち金百二十タラント及び甚だ多くの香物と寶石とを王に饋れりシバの女王のソロモン王に饋りたるが如き多くの香物は重て至ざりき
11 The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir also brought in from Ophir great quantities of almug trees and precious stones.
オフルより金を載來りたるヒラムの船は亦オフルより多くの白檀木と寶石とを運び來りければ
12 The king made of the almug trees pillars for the LORD’s house and for the king’s house, harps also and stringed instruments for the singers; no such almug trees came or were seen to this day.
王白檀木を以てヱホバの家と王の家とに欄干を造り歌謡者のために琴と瑟を造れり是の如き白檀木は至らざりき亦今日までも見たることなし
13 King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, in addition to that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own land, she and her servants.
ソロモン王王の例に循ひてシバの女王に物を饋りたる外に又彼が望に任せて凡て其求むる物を饋れり斯て彼其臣僕等とともに歸りて其國に往り
14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
偖一年にソロモンの所に至れる金の重量は六百六十六タラントなり
15 in addition to that which the traders brought, and the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of the mixed people, and of the governors of the country.
外に又商買および商旅の交易並にアラビヤの王等と國の知事等よりも至れり
16 King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went to one buckler.
ソロモン王展金の大楯二百を造れり其大楯には各六百シケルの金を用ひたり
17 He made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three minas of gold went to one shield; and the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
又展金の干三百を造れり一の干に三斤の金を用ひたり王是等をレバノン森林の家に置り
18 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold.
王又象牙をもて大なる寳座を造り純金を以て之を蔽へり
19 There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were armrests on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests.
其寳座に六の階級あり寳座の後に圓き頭あり坐する處の兩旁に扶手ありて扶手の側に二の獅子立てり
20 Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps. Nothing like it was made in any kingdom.
又其六の階級に十二の獅子此旁彼旁に立り是の如き者を作れる國はあらざりき
21 All King Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None were of silver, because it was considered of little value in the days of Solomon.
ソロモン王の用ひて飮る器は皆金なり又レバノン森林の家の器も皆純金にして銀の物無りき銀はソロモンの世には貴まざりしなり
22 For the king had a fleet of ships of Tarshish at sea with Hiram’s fleet. Once every three years the fleet of Tarshish came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
其は王海にタルシシの船を有てヒラムの船と供にあらしめタルシシの船をして三年に一度金銀象牙猿猴および孔雀を載て來らしめたればなり
23 So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
抑ソロモン王は富有と智慧に於て天下の諸の王よりも大なりければ
24 All the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart.
天下皆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たり
25 Year after year, every man brought his tribute, vessels of silver, vessels of gold, clothing, armour, spices, horses, and mules.
人々各其禮物を携へ來る即ち銀の器金の器衣服甲冑香物馬騾毎歳定分ありき
26 Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen. He had one thousand and four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen. He kept them in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem.
ソロモン戰車と騎兵を集めたるに戰車千四百輛騎兵壱萬二千ありきソロモン之を戰車の城邑に置き或はエルサレムにて王の所に置り
27 The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem, and cedars as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland.
王エルサレムに於て銀を石の如くに爲し香柏を平地の桑樹の如くに爲して多く用ひたり
28 The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt. The king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price.
ソロモンの馬を獲たるはエジプトとコアよりなり即ち王の商賣コアより價値を以て取り
29 A chariot was imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred and fifty shekels; and so they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Syria.
エジプトより上り出る戰車一輛は銀六百にして馬は百五十なりき斯のごとくヘテ人の凡の王等およびスリアの王等のために其手をもて取出せり
