歴代誌Ⅱ 1
1 ダビデの子ソロモン堅くその國にたてりその神ヱホバこれとともに在して之を甚だ大ならしめたまひき
And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God [was] with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
2 茲にソロモン、イスラエルの一切の人々すなはち千人の長百人の長裁判人ならびにイスラエルの全地の諸の牧伯等宗家の長などに告る所あり
Then Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers.
3 而してソロモンおよび全會衆ともにギベオンなる崇邱に往りヱホバの僕モーセが荒野にて作りたる神の集會の幕屋かしこにあればなり
So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that [was] at Gibeon: for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.
4 されど神の契約の櫃はダビデすでにキリアテヤリムよりこれが爲に備へたる處に携へ上れりダビデ曩にヱルサレムにて之が爲に幕屋を張まうけたりき
But the ark of God David had brought up from Kirjath-jearim to [the place which] David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
5 またホルの子ウリの子なるベザレルが作りたる銅の壇彼處においてヱホバの幕屋の前にありソロモンおよび會衆これに就きて求む
Moreover the brazen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought to it.
6 即ちソロモン彼處に上りゆき集會の幕屋の中にあるヱホバの前なる銅の壇に就き燔祭一千を其上に献げたり
And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar before the LORD, which [was] at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt-offerings upon it.
7 その夜神ソロモンに顯れてこれに言たまひけるは我なんぢに何を與ふべきか求めよ
In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give thee.
8 ソロモン神に申しけるは汝は我父ダビデに大なる恩惠をほどこし又我をして彼に代りて王とならしめたまへり
And Solomon said to God, Thou hast shown great mercy to David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
9 今ヱホバ神よ願くは我父ダビデに宣ひし事を堅うしたまへ其は汝地の塵のごとき衆多の民の上に我を王となしたまへばなり
Now, O LORD God, let thy promise to David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
10 我が此民の前に出入することを得んために今我に智慧と智識とを與へたまへ斯のごとき大なる汝の民を誰か鞫きえんや
Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy great people?
11 神ソロモンに言たまひけるは此事なんぢの心にあり汝は富有をも財寶をも尊貴をも汝を惡む者の生命をも求めずまた壽長からんことをも求めず惟智慧と智識とを己のためにもとめて我が汝を王となしたる我民を鞫かんとすれば
And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of thy enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
12 智慧と智識は已に汝に授かれり我また汝の前の王等の未だ得たること有ざる程の富有と財寳と尊貴とを汝に與へん汝の後の者もまた是のごときを得ざるべし
Wisdom and knowledge [are] granted to thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had that [have been] before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.
13 斯てソロモンはギベオンの崇邱を去り集會の幕屋の前を去りてヱルサレムに歸りイスラエルを治めたり
Then Solomon came [from his journey] to the high place that [was] at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel.
14 ソロモン戰車と騎兵とを集めしに戰車一千四百輛騎兵一萬二千人ありきソロモンこれを戰車の邑々に置き又ヱルサレムにて王の所に置り
And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
15 王銀と金とを石のごとくヱルサレムに多からしめまた香柏を平野の桑樹のごとく多からしめたり
And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem [as plenteous] as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycamore trees that [are] in the vale for abundance.
16 ソロモンの有る馬は皆エジプトよりひききたれり王の商買一群一群となして之を取いだし群ごとに價金をはらへり
And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
17 エジプトより取いだして携へ上る戰車一輛は銀六百馬一匹は百五十なりき是のごとくヘテ人の諸の王等およびスリアの王等のためにもその手をもて取いだせり
And they fetched up, and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: and so they brought out [horses] for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.
