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 sendeth his servants unto Solomon, for he heard that they had anointed him for king instead of his father, for Hiram was a lover of David all the days;
2 是に於てソロモン、ヒラムに言遣はしけるは
and Solomon sendeth 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 hast known David my father, that he hath not been able to build a house to the name of Jehovah his God, because of the wars that have been round about him, till Jehovah's putting 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
'And now, Jehovah my God hath given rest to me round about, 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
and lo, I am saying to build a house to the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son whom I appoint in thy stead on thy throne, he doth 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
'And now, command, and they cut down for me cedars out of Lebanon, and my servants are with thy servants, and the hire of thy servants I give to thee according to all that thou sayest, for thou hast known that there is not among us a man acquainted with cutting wood, like 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
And it cometh to pass at Hiram's hearing the words of Solomon, that he rejoiceth exceedingly, and saith, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah to-day, who hath given to David a 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 sendeth unto Solomon, saying, I have heard that which thou hast sent unto me, I do all thy desire concerning cedar-wood, and fir-wood,
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 bring down from Lebanon to the sea, and I make them floats in the sea unto the place that thou sendest unto me, and I have spread them out there; and thou dost take [them] up, and thou dost execute my desire, to give the food of my house.'
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
And Hiram is giving to Solomon cedar-trees, and fir-trees, 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 hath given to Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat, food for his house, and twenty cors of beaten oil; thus doth Solomon give to 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 Jehovah hath given wisdom to Solomon as He spake to him, and there is peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they make a covenant both of them.
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 lifteth up a tribute out of all Israel, and the tribute is 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 sendeth them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month, by changes, a month they are in Lebanon, two months in their own house; and Adoniram [is] over the tribute.
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 king Solomon hath seventy thousand bearing burdens, and eighty thousand hewing 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
apart from the heads of the officers of Solomon, who [are] over the work, three thousand and three hundred, those ruling over the people who are working in the business.
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 commandeth, and they bring great stones, precious stone, to lay the foundation of the house, 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 the builders of Solomon, and the builders of Hiram, and the Giblites hew, and prepare the wood and the stones to build the house.
