< 歴代誌Ⅰ 28 >
1 茲にダビデ、イスラエルの一切の長支派の長王に事ふる班列の長千人の長百人の長王とその子等の所有及び家畜を掌どる者閹官有力者諸勇士などを盡くヱルサレムに召集め
And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that ministered to the king by course, and the captains over the thousands, and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards over all the substance and possession of the king, and of his sons, with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the valiant men to Jerusalem.
2 而してダビデ王その足にて起て言けるは我兄弟等我民よ我に聽け我はヱホバの契約の櫃のため我らの神の足臺のために安居の家を建んとの志ありて已にこれを建る準備をなせり
Then David the king stood upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: [As for me], I [had] in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building:
3 然るに神我に言たまへり汝は我名のために家を建べからず汝は軍人にして許多の血を流したればなりと
But God said to me, Thou shalt not build a house for my name, because thou [hast been] a man of war, and hast shed blood.
4 然りと雖もイスラエルの神ヱホバ我父の全家の中より我を選びて永くイスラエルに王たらしめたまふ即ちユダを選びて長となしユダの全家の中より我父の家を選び我父の子等の中にて我を悦びイスラエルの王とならしめたまふ
However the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah [to be] the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he approved me to make [me] king over all Israel:
5 而してヱホバ我に衆多の子をたまひて其わが諸の子等の中より我子ソロモンを選び之をヱホバの國の位に坐せしめてイスラエルを治めしめんとしたまふ
And of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many sons, ) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.
6 ヱホバまた我に言たまひけるは汝の子ソロモンはわが家および我庭を作らん我かれを選びて吾子となせり我かれの父となるべし
And he said to me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him [to be] my son, and I will be his father.
7 彼もし今日のごとく我誡命と律法を堅く守り行はば我その國を永く堅うせんと
Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he shall be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.
8 然ば今ヱホバの會衆たるイスラエルの全家の目の前および我らの神の聞しめす所にて汝らに勸む汝らその神ヱホバの一切の誡命を守りかつ之を追もとむべし然せば汝等この美地を保ちてこれを汝らの後の子孫に永く傳ふることを得ん
Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye may possess this good land, and leave [it] for an inheritance for your children after you for ever.
9 我子ソロモンよ汝の父の神を知り完全心をもて喜び勇んで之に事へよヱホバは一切の心を探り一切の思想を暁りたまふなり汝もし之を求めなば之に遇ん然ど汝もし之を棄なば永く汝を棄たまはん
And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou shalt seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou shalt forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.
10 然ば汝謹めよヱホバ汝を選びて聖所とすべき家を建させんと爲たまへば心を強くしてこれを爲べしと
Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build a house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do [it].
11 而してダビデは殿の廊およびその家その府庫その上の室その内の室贖罪所の室などの式樣をその子ソロモンに授け
Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses of it, and of its treasuries, and of its upper chambers, and of its inner parlors, and of the place of the mercy-seat,
12 また其心に思ひはかれる一切の物すなはちヱホバの家の庭四周の諸の室神の家の府庫聖物の府庫などの式樣を授け
And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the house of the LORD, and of all the chambers around, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the dedicated things:
13 また祭司およびレビ人の班列とヱホバの家の諸の奉事の工とヱホバの家の諸の奉事の器皿とにつきて諭すところあり
Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD.
14 また諸の奉事に用ふる金の器皿を作る金の重量を定め又諸の奉事の器に用ふる諸の銀の器皿の銀の重量を定む
[He gave] of gold by weight for [things] of gold, for all instruments of all manner of service; [silver also] for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every kind of service:
15 即ち金の燈臺とその金の燈盞の重量を宣て一切の燈臺とその燈盞の重量を定め又銀の燈臺につきても各々の燈臺の用法にしたがひて燈臺とその燈盞の重量を定め
Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for its lamps: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, [both] for the candlestick, and [also] for its lamps, according to the use of every candlestick.
16 また供前のパンの案につきてはその各の案のために金の重量を定め又銀の案のためにも銀を定め
And by weight [he gave] gold for the tables of show-bread, for every table; and [likewise] silver for the tables of silver:
17 又肉鉤盂杓のために用ふる純金の重量を定め金の大斝につきてもまた各々の大斝のために重量を定め銀の一切の大斝のためにも重量を定め
Also pure gold for the flesh-hooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for the golden basins [he gave gold] by weight for every basin; and [likewise silver] by weight for every basin of silver:
18 また香壇のために用ふる精金の重量を定めかつ車なるケルビムの式樣の金を定む此ケルビムはその翼を展てヱホバの契約の櫃を覆ふ
And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubim, that spread out [their wings], and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
19 而してダビデ言けらく此工事の式樣は皆ことごとくヱホバのその手を我上にくだして我を敎へて書せたまひし者なりと
All [this], [said David], the LORD made me understand in writing by [his] hand upon me, [even] all the works of this pattern.
20 かくてダビデその子ソロモンに言けるは汝心を強くし勇みてこれを爲せ懼るる勿れ慄くなかれヱホバ神我神汝とともに在さん彼かならず汝を離れず汝を棄ず汝をしてヱホバの家の奉事の諸の工を成終しめたまふべし
And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong, and of good courage, and do [it]: fear not, nor be dismayed, for the LORD God, [even] my God, [will be] with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.
21 視よ神の家の諸の役事をなすためには祭司とレビ人の班列あり又諸の工と從事を悦こびて爲ところの諸の技巧者汝とともに在り且また牧伯等および一切の民汝の命ずるところを悉く行はん
And behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, [even they shall be with thee] for all the service of the house of God: and [there shall be] with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skillful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people [will be] wholly at thy command.
