列王記Ⅰ 9

1 ソロモン、ヱホバの家と王の家を建る事を終へ且凡てソロモンが爲んと欲し望を遂し時

And it came to pass when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and all that he desired, and was pleased to do,

2 ヱホバ再ソロモンに甞てギベオンにて顯現たまひし如くあらはれたまひて

That the Lord appeared to him the second time, as he had appeared to him in Gabaon.

3 彼に言たまひけるは我は爾が我まへに願し祈祷と祈願を聽たり我爾が建たる此家を聖別てわが名を永く其處に置べし且わが目とわが心は恒に其處にあるべし

And the Lord said to him: I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, which thou hast made before me: I have sanctified this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever, and my eyes and my heart shall be there always.

4 爾若爾の父ダビデの歩みし如く心を完うして正しく我前に歩みわが爾に命じたる如く凡て行ひてわが憲法と律例を守らば

And if thou wilt walk before me, as thy father walked, in simplicity of heart, and in uprightness: and wilt do all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my ordinances and my judgments,

5 我は爾の父ダビデに告てイスラエルの位に上る人爾に缺ること無るべしと言しごとく爾のイスラエルに王たる位を固うすべし

I will establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel for ever, as I promised David thy father, saying: There shall not fail a man of thy race upon the throne of Israel.

6 若爾等又は爾等の子孫全く轉きて我にしたがはずわが爾等のまへに置たるわが誡命と法憲を守らずして往て他の神に事へ之を拝まば

But if you and your children revolting shall turn away from following me, and will not keep my commandments, and my ceremonies, which I have set before you, but will go and worship strange gods, and adore them:

7 我イスラエルをわが與へたる地の面より絶ん又わが名のために我が聖別たる此家をば我わがまへより投げ棄んしかしてイスラエルは諸の民の中に諺語となり嘲笑となるべし

I will take away Israel from the face of the land which I have given them; and the temple which I have sanctified to my name, I will cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb, and a byword among all people.

8 且又此家は高くあれども其傍を過る者は皆之に驚き嘶きて言んヱホバ何故に此地に此家に斯爲たまひしやと

And this house shall be made an example of: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and shall hiss, and say: Why hath the Lord done thus to this land, and to this house:

9 人答へて彼等は己の父祖をエジプトの地より導き出せし其神ヱホバを棄て他の神に附從ひ之を拝み之に事へしに因てヱホバ此の凡の害惡を其上に降せるなりと言ん

And they shall answer: Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and followed strange gods, and adored them, and worshipped them: therefore hath the Lord brought upon them all this evil.

10 ソロモン二十年を經て二の家即ちヱホバの家と王の家を建をはりヒウムにガリラヤの地の城邑二十を與へたり

And when twenty years were ended after Solomon had built the two houses, that is, the house of the Lord, and the house of the king,

11 其はツロの王ヒラムはソロモンに凡て其望に循ひて香柏と松の木と金を供給たればなり

(Hiram the king of Tyre furnishing Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and gold according to all he had need of.) then Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

12 ヒラム、ツロより出てソロモンが己に與へたる諸邑を見しに其目に善らざりければ

And Hiram came out of Tyre, to see the towns which Solomon had given him, and they pleased him not,

13 我兄第よ爾が我に與へたる此等の城邑は何なるやといひて之をカブルの地となづけたり其名今日までのこる

And he said: Are these the cities which thou hast given me, brother? And he called them the land of Chabul, unto this day.

14 甞てヒラムは金百二十タラントを王に遣れり

And Hiram sent to king Solomon a hundred and twenty talents of gold.

15 ソロモン王の徴募人を興せし事は是なり即ちヱホバの家と自己の家とミロとエルサレムの石垣とハゾルとメギドンとゲゼルを建んが爲なりき

This is the sum of the expenses, which king Solomon offered to build the house of the Lord, and his own house, and Mello, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Heser, and Mageddo, and Gazer.

16 エジプトの王パロ嘗て上りてゲゼルを取り火を以て之を燬き其邑に住るカナン人を殺し之をソロモンの妻なる其女に與へて粧奩と爲り

Pharao the king of Egypt came up and took Gazer, and burnt it with fire: and slew the Chanaanite that dwelt in the city, and gave it for a dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.

17 ソロモン、ゲゼルと下ベテホロンと

So Solomon built: Gazer, and Beth-horon the nether,

18 バアラと國の野にあるタデモル

And Baalath, and Palmira in the land of the wilderness.

19 及びソロモンの有てる府庫の諸邑其戰車の諸邑其騎兵の諸邑並にソロモンがエルサレム、レバノンおよび其凡の領地に於て建んと欲し者を盡く建たり

And all the towns that belonged to himself, and were not walled, he fortified, the cities also of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen, and whatsoever he had a mind to build in Jerusalem, and in Libanus, and in all the land of his dominion.

20 凡てイスラエルの子孫に非るアモリ人ヘテ人ペリジ人ヒビ人ヱブス人の遺存る者

All the people that were left of the Amorrhites, and Hethites, and Pherezites, and Hevites, and Jebusites, that are not of the children of Israel:

21 其地に在て彼等の後に遺存る子孫即ちイスラエルの子孫の滅し盡すことを得ざりし者にソロモン奴隸の徴募を行ひて今日に至る

Their children, that were left in the land, to wit, such as the children of Israel had not been able to destroy, Solomon made tributary unto this day.

22 然どもイステエルの子孫をばソロモン一人も奴隸と爲ざりき其は彼等は軍人彼の臣僕牧伯大將たり戰車と騎兵の長たればなり

But of the children of Israel Solomon made not any to be bondmen, but they were men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and captains, and overseers of the chariots and horses.

23 ソロモンの工事を管理れる首なる官吏は五百五十人にして工事に働く民を治めたり

And there were five hundred and fifty chief officers set over all the works of Solomon, and they had people under them, and had charge over the appointed works.

24 爰にパロの女ダビデの城より上りてソロモンが彼のために建たる家に至る其時にソロモン、ミロを建たり

And the daughter of Pharao came up out of the city of David to her house, which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Mello.

25 ソロモン、ヱホバに築きたる壇の上に年に三次燔祭と酬恩祭を献げ又ヱホバの前なる壇に香を焚りソロモン斯家を全うせり

Solomon also offered three times every year holocausts, and victims of peace offerings upon the altar which he had built to the Lord, and he burnt incense before the Lord: and the temple was finished.

26 ソロモン王エドムの地紅海の濱に於てエラテの邊なるエジオンゲベルにて船數雙を造れり

And king Solomon made a fleet in Asiongaber, which is by Ailath on the shore of the Red Sea in the land of Edom.

27 ヒラム海の事を知れる舟人なる其僕をソロモンの僕と偕に其船にて遣せり

And Hiram sent his servants in the fleet, sailors that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.

28 彼等オフルに至り其處より金四百二十タラントを取てこれをソロモン王の所に携來る

And they came to Ophir, and they brought from thence to king Solomon four hundred and twenty talents of gold.
