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 unto Solomon, for he had heard that, him, had they anointed king, in the room of his father, —for, Hiram, was, a lover, of, David continually.
2 是に於てソロモン、ヒラムに言遣はしけるは
So Solomon sent unto 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, knewest David my father, how that he could not build a house unto the Name of Yahweh his God, because of the wars that were about him on every side, —until Yahweh should 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, Yahweh my God hath given me rest on every side, —there is neither adversary nor incident of evil.
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
Behold me! then, purposing to build a house for the Name of Yahweh my God—even as Yahweh spake unto David my father, saying—Thy son, whom I will set in thy stead, upon thy throne, he, shall build the house for 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
Now, therefore, command thou that they fell me cedars, out of Lebanon, and, my servants, shall be, with thy servants, and, the hire of thy servants, will I give thee, according to all that thou shalt say, —for, thou, knowest, that, none amongst us, hath skill to fell timber, like the Zidonians.
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
And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, —and said: Blessed, be Yahweh, to-day, who hath given unto David a wise son, over this great 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 unto Solomon, saying, I have heard that which thou hast sent unto me, —I, will do all thy desire, as to timber of cedar, and timber of fir.
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 out of Lebanon unto the sea, and, I, will put them in rafts on the sea, unto the place of which thou shalt send me word, and will cause them to be discharged there, and, thou, shalt receive them, and, thou, shalt do my desire, by giving 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 then Hiram began giving unto Solomon timber of cedar, and timber of fir, even 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, gave unto Hiram, twenty thousand measures of wheat, as food for his household, and twenty measures of beaten oil, —thus, used Solomon on to give unto Hiram, year by 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, Yahweh, gave wisdom unto Solomon, as he promised him, —and it came to pass that there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and, they two, solemnised a covenant.
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 raised a labour-band, out of all Israel, —and it came to pass that, the labour-band, was 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 Lebanon, ten thousand a month, by courses, a month, were they in Lebanon, two months, at home, —and, Adoniram, was over the 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 it came to pass that, Solomon, had seventy thousand bearers of burdens, —and eighty thousand hewers 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 chiefs of Solomon’s officers, who were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, —who ruled over the people that wrought in 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, and they quarried great stones, costly stones, to found the house with hewn stones.
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 Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders with the Gebalites wrought them, —thus made they ready the timber and the stones, for building the house.
