列王記Ⅰ 8
1 爰にソロモン、ヱホバの契約の櫃をダビデの城即ちシオンより舁上らんとてイスラエルの長老と諸の支派の首イスラエルの子孫の家の長等をエルサレムにてソロモン王の所に召集む
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the ancestral leaders of the children of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the City of David, which is Zion.
2 イスラエルの人皆エタニムの月即ち七月の節筵に當てソロモン王の所に集まれり
All the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
3 イスラエルの長老皆至り祭司櫃を執りあげて
All the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
4 ヱホバの櫃と集會の幕屋と幕屋にありし諸の聖き器を舁上れり即ち祭司とレビの人之を舁のぼれり
They brought up the ark of the LORD, and the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; and the priests and the Levites brought them up.
5 ソロモン王および其許に集れるイスラエルの會衆皆彼と偕に櫃の前にありて羊と牛を献げたりしが其數多くして書すことも數ふることも能はざりき
King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.
6 祭司ヱホバの契約の櫃を其處に舁いれたり即ち家の神殿なる至聖所の中のケルビムの翼の下に置めたり
The priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim.
7 ケルビムは翼を櫃の所に舒べ且ケルビム上より櫃と其棹を掩へり
For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.
8 杠長かりければ杠の末は神殿の前の聖所より見えたり然ども外には見えざりき其杠は今日まで彼處にあり
The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary; but they were not seen outside. And there they are to this day.
9 櫃の内には二の石牌の外何もあらざりき是はイスラエルの子孫のエジプトの地より出たる時ヱホバの彼等と契約を結たまへる時にモーセがホレブにて其處に置めたる者なり
There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
10 斯て祭司聖所より出けるに雲ヱホバの家に盈たれば
It came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,
11 祭司は雲のために立て供事ること能はざりき其はヱホバの榮光ヱホバの家に盈たればなり
so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.
12 是においてソロモンいひけるはヱホバは濃き雲の中に居んといひたまへり
Then Solomon said, "The LORD has said that he would dwell in the thick cloud.
13 我誠に汝のために住むべき家永久に居べき所を建たりと
I have surely built you a house of habitation, a place for you to dwell in forever."
14 王其面を轉てイスラエルの凡の會衆を祝せり時にイスラエルの會衆は皆立ゐたり
The king turned his face about, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood.
15 彼言けるはイスラエルの神ヱホバは譽べきかなヱホバは其口をもて吾父ダビデに言ひ其手をもて之を成し遂げたまへり
He said, "Blessed is the LORD, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David your father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
16 即ち我は吾民イスラエルをエジプトより導き出せし日より我名を置べき家を建しめんためにイスラエルの諸の支派の中より何れの城邑をも選みしことなし但ダビデを選みてわが民イスラエルの上に立しめたりと言たまへり
'Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, so that my name might be there; nor did I choose anyone to be a leader over my people Israel. But I have chosen Jerusalem, so that my name may be there, and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.'
17 夫イスラエルの神ヱホバの名のために家を建ることはわが父ダビデの心にありき
"Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
18 しかるにヱホバわが父ダビデにいひたまひけるはわが名のために家を建ること汝の心にあり汝の心に此事あるは善し
But the LORD said to David my father, 'Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart.
19 然ども汝は其家を建べからず汝の腰より出る汝の子其人吾名のために家を建べしと
Nevertheless, you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come forth out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.'
20 而してヱホバ其言たまひし言を行ひたまへり即ち我わが父ダビデに代りて立ちヱホバの言たまひし如くイスラエルの位に坐しイスラエルの神ヱホバの名のために家を建たり
The LORD has established his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
21 我又其處にヱホバの契約を蔵めたる櫃のために一の所を設けたり即ち我儕の父祖をエジプトの地より導き出したまひし時に彼等に爲したまひし者なりと
There I have set a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt."
22 ソロモン、イスラエルの凡の會衆の前にてヱホバの壇のまへに立ち其手を天に舒て
Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven. Now Solomon had made a bronze scaffold, eight feet and seven inches long, and eight feet and seven inches broad, and five feet and two inches high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and on it he stood, and kneeled down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.
23 言けるはイスラエルの神ヱホバよ上の天にも下の地にも汝の如き神なし汝は契約を持ちたまひ心を全うして汝のまへに歩むところの汝の僕等に恩惠を施したまふ
And he said, "LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; keeping covenant and loving kindness with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart;
24 汝は汝の僕わが父ダビデに語たまへる所を持ちたまへり汝は口をもて語ひ手をもて成し遂たまへること今日のごとし
who have kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.
25 イスラエルの神ヱホバよ然ば汝が僕わが父ダビデに語りて若し汝の子孫其道を愼みて汝がわが前に歩めるごとくわが前に歩まばイスラエルの位に坐する人わがまへにて汝に缺ること無るべしといひたまひし事をダビデのために持ちたまへ
Now therefore, may the LORD, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, 'There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk before me as you have walked before me.'
26 然ばイスラエルの神よ爾が僕わが父ダビデに言たまへる爾の言に效驗あらしめたまへ
"Now therefore, LORD, God of Israel, please let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David my father.
27 神果して地の上に住たまふや視よ天も諸の天の天も爾を容るに足ず况て我が建たる此家をや
But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? Look, heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain you; how much less this house that I have built.
28 然どもわが神ヱホバよ僕の祈祷と懇願を顧みて其號呼と僕が今日爾のまへに祈る祈祷を聽たまへ
Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant, and for his petition, LORD my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you this day;
29 願くは爾の目を夜晝此家に即ち爾が我名は彼處に在べしといひたまへる處に向ひて開きたまへ願くは僕の此處に向ひて祈らん祈祷を聽たまへ
that your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which you have said, 'My name shall be there;' to listen to the prayer which your servant shall pray toward this place.
30 願くは僕と爾の民イスラエルが此處に向ひて祈る時に爾其懇願を聽たまへ爾は爾の居處なる天において聽き聽て赦したまへ
Listen to the petition of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place. Yes, hear in heaven, your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive.
31 若し人其隣人に對ひて犯せることありて其人誓をもて誓ふことを要られんに來りて此家において爾の壇のまへに誓ひなば
"If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swear before your altar in this house;
32 爾天において聽て行ひ爾の僕等を鞫き惡き者を罪して其道を其首に歸し義しき者を義として其義に循ひて之に報いたまへ
then hear in heaven, and do, and judge your servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way on his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
33 若爾の民イスラエル爾に罪を犯したるがために敵の前に敗られんに爾に歸りて爾の名を崇め此家にて爾に祈り願ひなば
"When your people Israel are struck down before the enemy, because they have sinned against you; if they turn again to you, and confess your name, and pray and make petition to you in this house:
34 爾天において聽き爾の民イスラエルの罪を赦して彼等を爾が其父祖に與へし地に歸らしめたまへ
then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to their fathers.
35 若彼等が爾に罪を犯したるが爲に天閉て雨无らんに彼等若此處にむかひて祈り爾の名を崇め爾が彼等を苦めたまふときに其罪を離れなば
"When the sky is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; if they pray toward this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you punish them:
36 爾天において聽き爾の僕等爾の民イスラエルの罪を赦したまへ爾彼等に其歩むべき善道を敎へたまふ時は爾が爾の民に與へて產業となさしめたまひし爾の地に雨を降したまへ
then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.
37 若國に饑饉あるか若くは疫病枯死朽腐噬亡ぼす蝗蟲あるか若くは其敵國にいりて彼等を其門に圍むか如何なる災害如何なる病疾あるも
"If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight, mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemy besieges them in the land of their gates; whatever plague, whatever sickness there is;
38 若一人か或は爾の民イスラエル皆各己の心の災を知て此家に向ひて手を舒なば其人如何なる祈祷如何なる懇願を爲とも
whatever prayer and petition is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who shall each know the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:
39 爾の居處なる天に於て聽て赦し行ひ各の人に其心を知給ふ如く其道々にしたがひて報い給へ其は爾のみ凡の人の心を知たまへばなり
then hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know; (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of humankind; )
40 爾かく彼等をして爾が彼等の父祖に與へたまへる地に居る日に常に爾を畏れしめたまへ
that they may fear you all the days that they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.
41 且又爾の民イスラエルの者にあらずして爾の名のために遠き國より來る異邦人は
"Moreover concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for your name's sake
42 (其は彼等爾の大なる名と強き手と伸たる腕を聞およぶべければなり)若來りて此家にむかひて祈らば
(for they shall hear of your great name, and of your mighty hand, and of your outstretched arm); when he shall come and pray toward this house;
43 爾の居處なる天に於て聽き凡て異邦人の爾に龥求むる如く爲たまへ爾かく地の諸の民をして爾の名をしらしめ爾の民イスラエルのごとく爾を畏れしめ又我が建たる此家は爾の名をもて稱呼るるといふことを知しめ給へ
then hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, and fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.
44 爾の民其敵と戰はんとて爾の遣はしたまふ所に出たる時彼等若爾が選みたまへる城とわが爾の名のために建たる家の方に向ひてヱホバに祈らば
"If your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to the LORD toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name;
45 爾天において彼等の祈祷と懇願を聽て彼等を助けたまへ
then hear in heaven their prayer and their petition, and maintain their cause.
46 人は罪を犯さざる者なければ彼等爾に罪を犯すことありて爾彼等を怒り彼等を其敵に付し敵かれらを虜として遠近を諭ず敵の地に引ゆかん時は
If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn't sin), and you are angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, far off or near;
47 若彼等虜れゆきし地において自ら顧みて悔い己を虜へゆきし者の地にて爾に願ひて我儕罪を犯し悖れる事を爲たり我儕惡を行ひたりと言ひ
yet if they shall repent in the land where they are carried captive, and repent and make petition to you in the land of those who carried them captive, saying, 'We have sinned, and have done perversely; we have dealt wickedly;'
48 己を虜ゆきし敵の地にて一心一念に爾に歸り爾が其父祖に與へたまへる地爾が選みたまへる城とわが爾の名のために建たる家の方に向ひて爾に祈らば
if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies, who carried them captive, and pray to you toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, the city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name:
49 爾の居處なる天において爾彼等の祈祷と懇願を聽てかれらを助け
then hear their prayer and their petition in heaven, your dwelling place, and maintain their cause;
50 爾の民の爾に對て犯したる事と爾に對て過てる其凡の罪過を赦し彼等を虜ゆける者の前にて彼等に憐を得させ其人々をして彼等を憐ましめたまへ
and forgive your people who have sinned against you, and all their transgressions in which they have transgressed against you; and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them
51 其は彼等は爾がエジプトより即ち鐵の鑪の中よりいだしたまひし爾の民爾の產業なればなり
(for they are your people, and your inheritance, which you brought out of Egypt, from the midst of the iron furnace);
52 願くは僕の祈祷と爾の民イスラエルの祈願に爾の目を開きて凡て其爾に龥求むる所を聽たまへ
that your eyes and your ears may be open to the petition of your servant, and to the petition of your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they cry to you.
53 其は爾彼等を地の凡の民の中より別ちて爾の產業となしたまへばなり神ヱホバ爾が我儕の父祖をエジプトより導き出せし時モーセによりて言給ひし如し
For you separated them from among all the peoples of the earth, to be your inheritance, as you spoke by Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, Lord GOD."
54 ソロモン此祈祷と祈願を悉くヱホバに祈り終りし時其天にむかひて手を舒べ膝を屈居たるを止てヱホバの壇のまへより起あがり
It was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and petition to the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth toward heaven.
55 立て大なる聲にてイスラエルの凡の會衆を祝して言けるは
He stood, and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
56 ヱホバは譽べきかなヱホバは凡て其言たまひし如く其民イスラエルに太平を與へたまへり其僕モーセによりて言たまひし其善言は皆一も違はざりき
"Blessed be the LORD, who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised. There has not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his servant.
57 願くは我儕の神ヱホバ我儕の父祖と偕に在せしごとく我儕とともに在せ我儕を離れたまふなかれ我儕を棄たまふなかれ
May the LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us, nor forsake us;
58 願くは我儕の心をおのれに傾けたまひて其凡の道に歩ましめ其我儕の父祖に命じたまひし誡命と法憲と律例を守らしめたまへ
that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.
59 願くはヱホバの前にわが願し是等の言日夜われらの神ヱホバに近くあれ而してヱホバ日々の事に僕を助け其民イスラエルを助けたまへ
Let these my words, with which I have made petition before the LORD, be near to the LORD our God day and night, that he may maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel, as every day shall require;
60 斯して地の諸の民にヱホバの神なることと他に神なきことを知しめたまへ
that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD, he is God. There is no other.
61 されば爾等我儕の神ヱホバとともにありて今日の如く爾らの心を完全しヱホバの法憲に歩み其誡命を守るべしと
"Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day."
62 斯て王および王と偕にありしイスラエル皆ヱホバのまへに犠牲を献たり
The king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.
63 ソロモン酬恩祭の犠牲を献げたり即ち之をヱホバに献ぐ其牛二萬二千羊十二萬なりき斯王とイスラエルの子孫皆ヱホバの家を開けり
Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to the LORD, two and twenty thousand head of cattle, and one hundred twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.
64 其日に王ヱホバの家の前なる庭の中を聖別め其處にて燔祭と禴祭と酬恩祭の脂とを献げたり是はヱホバの前なる銅の壇小くして燔祭と禴祭と酬恩祭の脂とを受るにたらざりしが故なり
The same day the king made the middle of the court holy that was before the house of the LORD; for there he offered the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.
65 其時ソロモン七日に七日合て十四日我儕の神ヱホバのまへに節筵を爲りイスラエルの大なる會衆ハマテの入處よりエジプトの河にいたるまで悉く彼と偕にありき
So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from Lebo Hamath to the Wadi of Egypt, before the LORD our God in the house which he built, eating and drinking and rejoicing before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days; fourteen days.
66 第八日にソロモン民を歸せり民は王を祝しヱホバが其僕ダビデと其民イスラエルに施したまひし諸の恩惠のために喜び且心に樂みて其天幕に往り
And on the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people.
