歴代誌Ⅰ 29

1 ダビデ王また全會衆に言けるは我子ソロモンは神の惟獨選びたまへる者なるが少くして弱く此工事は大なり此殿は人のために非ずヱホバ神のためにする者なればなり

Then King David said to the whole assembly, “My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen, is young and inexperienced. The task is great because this palace is not for man, but for the LORD God.

2 是をもて我力を盡して我神の家のために物を備へたり即ち金の物を作る金 銀の物の銀 銅の物の銅 鐵の物の鐵 木の物の木を備へたり又葱珩 嵌石 黑石火崗諸の寶石蝋石など夥多し

Now with all my ability I have made provision for the house of my God—gold for the gold articles, silver for the silver, bronze for the bronze, iron for the iron, and wood for the wood, as well as onyx for the settings, turquoise, stones of various colors, all kinds of precious stones, and slabs of marble—all in abundance.

3 かつまた我わが神の家を悦ぶが故に聖所のために備へたる一切の物の外にまた自己の所有なる金銀をわが神の家に献ぐ

Moreover, because of my delight in the house of my God, I now give for it my personal treasures of gold and silver, over and above all that I have provided for this holy temple:

4 即ちオフルの金三千タラント精銀七千タラントを献げてその家々の壁を蔽ふに供ふ

three thousand talents of gold (the gold of Ophir) and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the buildings,

5 金は金の物に銀は銀の物に凡て工人の手にて作るものに用ふべし誰か今日自ら進んでヱホバのためにその手に物を盈さんかと

for the gold work and the silver work, and for all the work to be done by the craftsmen. Now who will volunteer to consecrate himself to the LORD today?”

6 是において宗家の長イスラエルの支派の牧伯等千人の長百人の長および王の工事を掌どる者等誠意より献物をなせり

Then the leaders of the households, the officers of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and the officials in charge of the king’s work gave willingly.

7 その神の家の奉事のために献げたるものは金五千タラント一萬ダリク銀一萬タラント銅一萬八千タラント鐵十萬タラント

Toward the service of God’s house they gave 5,000 talents and 10,000 darics of gold, 10,000 talents of silver, 18,000 talents of bronze, and 100,000 talents of iron.

8 また寶石ある者はゲルシヨン人ヱヒエルの手に託て之を神の家の府庫に納めたり

Whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the LORD, under the care of Jehiel the Gershonite.

9 彼ら斯誠意よりみづから進んでヱホバに献げたれば民その献ぐるを喜べりダビデ王もまた大に喜びぬ

And the people rejoiced at the willing response of their leaders, for they had given to the LORD freely and wholeheartedly. And King David also rejoiced greatly.

10 茲にダビデ全會衆の前にてヱホバを頌へたりダビデの曰く我らの先祖イスラエルの神ヱホバよ汝は世々限なく頌へまつるべきなり

Then David blessed the LORD in the sight of all the assembly and said: “May You be blessed, O LORD, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.

11 ヱホバよ權勢と能力と榮光と光輝と威光とは汝に屬す凡て天にある者地にある者はみな汝に屬すヱホバよ國もまた汝に屬す汝は萬有の首と崇られたまふ

Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in heaven and on earth belongs to You. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom, and You are exalted as head over all.

12 富と貴とは共に汝より出づ汝は萬有を主宰たまふ汝の手には權勢と能力あり汝の手は能く一切をして大たらしめ又強くならしむるなり

Both riches and honor come from You, and You are the ruler over all. In Your hands are power and might to exalt and give strength to all.

13 然ば我儕の神よ我儕今なんぢに感謝し汝の尊き名を讃美す

Now therefore, our God, we give You thanks, and we praise Your glorious name.

14 但し我ら斯のごとく自ら進んで献ぐることを得たるも我は何ならんやまた我民は何ならんや萬の物は汝より出づ我らは只汝の手より受て汝に献げたるなり

But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? For everything comes from You, and from Your own hand we have given to You.

15 汝の前にありては我らは先祖等のごとく旅客たり寄寓者たり我らの世にある日は影のごとし望む所ある無し

For we are foreigners and strangers in Your presence, as were all our forefathers. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.

16 我らの神ヱホバよ汝の聖名のために汝に家を建んとて我らが備へたる此衆多の物は凡て汝の手より出づ亦皆なんぢの所有なり

O LORD our God, from Your hand comes all this abundance that we have provided to build You a house for Your holy Name, and all of it belongs to You.

17 我神よ我また知る汝は心を鑒みたまひ又正直を悦びたまふ我は正き心をもて眞實より此一切の物を献げたり今我また此にある汝の民が眞實より献物をするを見て喜悦にたへざるなり

I know, my God, that You test the heart and delight in uprightness. All these things I have given willingly and with an upright heart, and now I have seen Your people who are present here giving joyfully and willingly to You.

18 我らの先祖アブラハム、イサク、イスラエルの神ヱホバよ汝の民をして此精神を何時までもその心の思念に保たしめその心を固く汝に歸せしめたまへ

O LORD, God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, keep this desire forever in the intentions of the hearts of Your people, and direct their hearts toward You.

19 又わが子ソロモンに完全心を與へ汝の誡命と汝の證言と汝の法度を守らせて之をことごとく行はせ我が備をなせるその殿を建させたまへ

And give my son Solomon a whole heart to keep and carry out all Your commandments, decrees, and statutes, and to build Your palace for which I have made provision.”

20 ダビデまた全會衆にむかひて汝ら今なんぢらの神ヱホバを頌へよと言ければ全會衆その先祖等の神ヱホバを頌へ俯てヱホバと王とを拝せり

Then David said to the whole assembly, “Blessed be the LORD your God.” So the whole assembly blessed the LORD, the God of their fathers. They bowed down and paid homage to the LORD and to the king.

21 而して其翌日に至りてイスラエルの一切の人のためにヱホバに犠牲を献げヱホバに燔祭を献げたり其牡牛一千牡羊一千羔羊一千またその灌祭と祭物夥多しかりき

The next day they offered sacrifices and presented burnt offerings to the LORD: a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, along with their drink offerings, and other sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.

22 その日彼ら大に喜びてヱホバの前に食ひかつ飮み／さらに改めてダビデの子ソロモンを王となしヱホバの前にてこれに膏をそそぎて主君となし又ザドクを祭司となせり

That day they ate and drank with great joy in the presence of the LORD. Then, for a second time, they designated David’s son Solomon as king, anointing him before the LORD as ruler, and Zadok as the priest.

23 かくてソロモンはヱホバの位に坐しその父ダビデに代りて王となりその繁榮を極むイスラエルみな之に從がふ

So Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king in place of his father David. He prospered, and all Israel obeyed him.

24 また一切の牧伯等勇士等およびダビデ王の諸の子等みなソロモン王に服事す

All the officials and mighty men, as well as all of King David’s sons, pledged their allegiance to King Solomon.

25 ヱホバ、イスラエルの目の前にてソロモンを甚だ大ならしめ彼より前のイスラエルの王の未だ得たること有ざる王威を之に賜へり

The LORD highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel and bestowed on him royal majesty such as had not been bestowed on any king in Israel before him.

26 夫ヱツサイの子ダビデはイスラエルの全地を治めたり

David son of Jesse was king over all Israel.

27 そのイスラエルを治めし間は四十年なり即ちヘブロンにて七年世を治めヱルサレムにて三十三年世を治めたりき

The length of David’s reign over Israel was forty years—seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

28 遐齡にいたり年も富も尊貴も滿足て死り其子ソロモンこれに代りて王となる

He died at a ripe old age, full of years, riches, and honor, and his son Solomon reigned in his place.

29 ダビデ王が始より終まで爲たる事等は先見者サムエルの書預言者ナタンの書および先見者ガドの書に記さる

Now the acts of King David, from first to last, are indeed written in the Chronicles of Samuel the Seer, the Chronicles of Nathan the Prophet, and the Chronicles of Gad the Seer,

30 其中にはまた彼の政治とその能力および彼とイスラエルと國々の諸の民に臨みしところの事等を載す

together with all the details of his reign, his might, and the circumstances that came upon him and Israel and all the kingdoms of the lands.
