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 made an end of building the house of Yahweh, and the house of the king, and everything that Solomon desired, which he was pleased to make,

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

then appeared Yahweh unto Solomon, a second time, —as he appeared unto him, in Gibeon.

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 Yahweh said unto him—I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, wherewith thou hast made supplication before me, I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my Name there unto times age-abiding, —and mine eyes and my heart shall be there, continually:

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

As for thee, therefore, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, with a whole heart and with uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, —and, my statutes and my regulations, wilt keep,

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

then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel, unto times age-abiding, —as I promised unto David thy father, saying, There shall not be cut off to thee a man, from off 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

If ye, turn back, ye or your sons, from following me, and keep not my commandments, my statutes, which I have set before you, —but depart and serve other gods, and bow yourselves down to 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

then will I cut off Israel, from the face of the soil, which I have given unto them, and, the house which I have hallowed for my Name, will I suffer to be carried away from before me, —and Israel shall become a byword and a mockery, among all the peoples;

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 which had been renowned, shall be desolate, every one that passeth by it, shall be astonished and shall whistle, —and men shall say—For what cause, hath Yahweh done, thus, unto this land, and unto 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 men will answer—Because they forsook Yahweh their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold of other gods, and bowed themselves down to them, and served them, for this cause, hath Yahweh brought in upon them all this ruin.

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 it came to pass, at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, —the house of Yahweh, 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 king of Tyre having supplied Solomon with timber of cedar, and with timber of fir, and with gold, according to all his desire, that, then, King Solomon gave unto 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 from Tyre to view the cities which, Solomon, had given him, —and they were not pleasing in his eyes.

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

So he said—What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them, Unfruitful Land, [as they are called] unto this day.

14 甞てヒラムは金百二十タラントを王に遣れり

Now Hiram had sent to the king, —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

Now, the following, is an account of the tax which King Solomon raised, for building the house of Yahweh and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, —and Hazor and Megiddo, and Gezer.

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

Pharaoh king of Egypt, had gone up and captured Gezer, and burned it with fire, the Canaanites also who were dwelling in the city, had he slain, —and had given it as a dowry, to his daughter, wife of Solomon.

17 ソロモン、ゲゼルと下ベテホロンと

So then Solomon built Gezer, and Beth-horon, the nether,

18 バアラと國の野にあるタデモル

and Baalath and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land;

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

also all the store cities, which Solomon had, and the cities for chariots, and the cities for horsemen, —and the desire of Solomon that he was pleased to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land that he ruled over.

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 Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, who were, not of the sons 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 sons, who were left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel were not able to devote to destruction, Solomon levied them for a toiling labour-band [which remaineth] 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 sons of Israel, Solomon devoted none to bond-service, —but, they, were men of war, and his servants, and his generals, and his heroes, and captains of his chariots, and his horsemen.

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

These, were the chiefs of the officers, who were over the work, for Solomon, five hundred and fifty, —who ruled over the people that wrought in the work.

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

Scarcely had Pharaoh’s daughter come up out of the city of David, into her own house, which he had built for her, when he built Millo.

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

And Solomon used to offer, three times a year, ascending-sacrifices and peace-offerings, upon the altar which he had built unto Yahweh, and to offer incense at the altar which was before Yahweh, —thus Solomon gave completeness unto the house.

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

A fleet also, did King Solomon build in Ezion-geber, which is beside Eloth 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 in the fleet his servants, seamen, having 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 fetched from thence, gold, four hundred and twenty talents, —and brought it to King Solomon.
