列王記Ⅰ 5
1 ツロの王ヒラム、ソロモンの膏そそがれて其父にかはりて王となりしを聞て其臣僕をソロモンに遣せりヒラムは恒にダビデを愛したる者なりければなり
And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon: for he heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram had always been David’s friend.
2 是に於てソロモン、ヒラムに言遣はしけるは
And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying:
3 汝の知ごとく我父ダビデは其周圍にありし戰爭に因て其神ヱホバの名のために家を建ること能はずしてヱホバが彼等を其足の跖の下に置またふを待り
Thou knowest the will of David my father, and that he could not build a house to the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars that were round about him, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet.
4 然るに今わが神ヱホバ我に四方の太平を賜ひて敵もなく殃もなければ
But now the Lord my God hath given me rest round about: and there is no adversary nor evil occurrence.
5 我はヱホバのわが父ダビデに語てわが汝の代に汝の位に上しむる汝の子其人はわが名のために家を建べしと言たまひしに循ひてわが神ヱホバの名のために家を建んとす
Wherefore I purpose to build a temple to the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord spoke to David my father, saying: my son, whom I will set upon the throne in thy piece, he shall build a house to my name.
6 されば汝命じてわがためにレバノンより香柏を砍出さしめよわが僕汝の僕と共にあるべし又我は凡て汝の言ふごとく汝の僕の賃銀を汝に付すべし其は汝の知ごとく我儕の中にはシドン人の如く木を砍に巧みなる人なければなりと
Give orders therefore that thy servants cut me down cedar trees out of Libanus, and let my servants be with thy servants: and I will give thee the hire of thy servants whatsoever thou wilt ask, for thou knowest how there is not among my people a man that has skill to hew wood like to the Sidonians.
7 ヒラム、ソロモンの言を聞て大に喜び言けるは今日ヱホバに稱譽あれヱホバ、ダビデに此夥多しき民を治むる賢き子を與たまへりと
Now when Hiram had heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced exceedingly, and said: Blessed be the Lord God this day, who hath given to David a very wise son over this numerous people.
8 かくてヒラム、ソロモンに言遣りけるは我汝が言ひ遣したる所の事を聽り我香柏の材木と松樹の材木とに付ては凡て汝の望むごとく爲すべし
And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying: I have heard all thou hast desired of me: and I will do all thy desire concerning cedar trees, and fir trees.
9 わが僕レバノンより海に持下らんしかして我これを海より桴にくみて汝が我に言ひ遣す處におくり其處にて之をくづすべし汝之を受よ又汝はわが家のために食物を與へてわが望を成せと
My servants shall bring them down from Libanus to the sea: and I will put them together in floats in the sea, and convey them to the place, which thou shalt signify to me; and will land them there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt allow me necessaries, to furnish food for my household.
10 斯てヒラムはソロモンに其凡て望むごとく香柏の材木と松の材木を與へたり
So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees, and fir trees, according to all his desire.
11 又ソロモンはヒラムに其家の食物として小麥二萬石を與へまた清油二十石をあたへたり斯ソロモン年々ヒラムに與へたり
And Solomon allowed Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat, for provision for his house, and twenty measures of the purest oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram every year.
12 ヱホバ其言たまひしごとくソロモンに智慧を賜へりまたヒラムとソロモンの間睦しくして二人偕に契約を結べり
And the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they two made a league together.
13 爰にソロモン王イスラエルの全地に徴募人を興せり其徴募人の數は三萬人なり
And king Solomon chose workmen cut of all Israel, and the levy was of thirty thousand men.
14 ソロモンかれらを一月交代に一萬人づつレバノンに遣せり即ち彼等は一月レバノンに二月家にありアドニラムは徴募人の督者なりき
And he sent them to Libanus, ten thousand every month by turns, so that two months they were at home: and Adoniram was over this levy.
15 ソロモン負載者七萬人山に於て石を砍る者八萬人あり
And Solomon had seventy thousand to carry burdens, and eighty thousand to hew stones in the mountain:
16 外に又其工事の長なる官吏三千三百人ありて工事に作く民を統たり
Besides the overseers who were over every work, in number three thousand, and three hundred that ruled over the people, and them that did the work.
17 かくて王命じて大なる石貴き石を鑿出さしめ琢石を以て家の基礎を築かしむ
And the king commanded, that they should bring great stones, costly stones, for the foundation of the temple, and should square them:
18 ソロモンの建築者とヒラムの建築者およびゲバル人之を砍り斯彼等材木と石を家を建るに備へたり
And the masons of Solomon, and the masons of Hiram hewed them: and the Giblians prepared timber and stones to build the house.
