歴代誌Ⅱ 2
1 茲にソロモン、ヱホバの名のために一の家を建てまた己の國のために一の家を建んとし
Now Solomon purposed to build a house for the name of Jehovah, and a house for his kingdom.
2 ソロモンすなはち荷を負べき者七萬人山において木や石を斫べき者八萬人是等を監督すべき者三千六百人を數へ出せり
Solomon counted out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand men who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.
3 ソロモンまづツロの王ヒラムに人を遣して言しめけるは汝はわが父ダビデにその住むべき家を建る香柏をおくれり請ふ彼になせしごとく亦我にもせよ
Solomon sent to Hiram the king of Tyre, saying, "As you dealt with David my father, and sent him cedars to build him a house in which to dwell, so deal with me.
4 今我わが神ヱホバの名のために一の家を建て之を聖別て彼に奉つり彼の前に馨しき香を焚き常に供前のパンを供へ燔祭を朝夕に献げまた安息日月朔ならびに我らの神ヱホバの節期などに献げんとす是はイスラエルの永く行ふべき事なればなり
Look, I am about to build a house for the name of Jehovah my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him incense of sweet spices, and for the continual show bread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts of Jehovah our God. This is an ordinance forever to Israel.
5 我建る家は大なり其は我らの神は諸の神よりも大なればなり
"The house which I build is great; for our God is great above all gods.
6 然ながら天も諸天の天も彼を容ること能はざれば誰か彼のために家を建ることを得んや我は何人ぞや爭か彼のために家を建ることを得ん唯彼の前に香を焚くためのみ
But who is able to build him a house, since heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain him? Who am I then, that I should build him a house, except just to burn incense before him?
7 然ば請ふ今金銀銅鐵の細工および紫赤靑の製造に精しく雕刻の術に巧なる工人一箇を我に遣り我父ダビデが備へおきたるユダとヱルサレムのわが工人とともに操作しめよ
"Now therefore send me a man skillful to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and who knows how to engrave engravings, to be with the skillful men who are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.
8 請ふ汝また香柏松木および白檀をレバノンより我におくれ我なんぢの僕等がレバノンにて木を斫ることを善するを知るなり我僕また汝の僕と共に操作べし
"Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon; for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon: and look, my servants shall be with your servants,
9 是のごとくして我ために材木を多く備へしめよ其は我が建んとする家は高大を極むる者なるべければなり
even to prepare me timber in abundance; for the house which I am about to build shall be great and wonderful.
10 我は木を斫る汝の僕に搗麥二萬石大麥二萬石酒二萬バテ油二萬バテを與ふべしと
Look, I will give to your servants, the cutters who cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil."
11 是においてツロの王ヒラム書をソロモンにおくりて之に答へて云ふヱホバその民を愛するが故に汝をもて之が王となせりと
Then Hiram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, "Because Jehovah loves his people, he has made you king over them."
12 ヒラムまた言けるは天地の造主なるイスラエルの神ヱホバは讃べきかな彼はダビデ王に賢き子を與へて之に分別と才智とを賦け之をしてヱホバのために家を建てまた己の國のために家を建ることを得せしむ 今我わが達人ヒラムといふ才智ある工人一人を汝におくる
Hiram continued, "Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, endowed with discretion and understanding, that should build a house for Jehovah, and a house for his kingdom.
Now I have sent a skillful man, endowed with understanding, Hiram Abi,
14 彼はダンの子孫たる婦の產る者にて其父はツロの人なるが金銀銅鐵木石の細工および紫布靑布細布赤布の織法に精しく又能く各種の雕刻を爲し奇巧を凝して諸の工をなすなり然ば彼を用ひてなんぢの工人および汝の父わが主ダビデの工人とともに操作しめよ
the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan; and his father was a man of Tyre, skillful to work in gold, and in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, also to engrave any kind of engraving, and to execute any design; that there may be a place appointed to him with your skillful men, and with the skillful men of my lord David your father.
15 是については我主の宣まへる小麥大麥油および酒をその僕等に遣りたまへ
"Now therefore the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, which my lord has spoken of, let him send to his servants:
16 汝の凡て需むるごとく我らレバノンより木を斫いだしこれを筏にくみて海よりヨツバにおくるべければ汝これをヱルサレムに運びのぼりたまへと
and we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as you shall need; and we will bring it to you in floats by sea to Joppa; and you shall carry it up to Jerusalem."
17 ここにおいてソロモンその父ダビデが核數しごとくイスラエルの國にをる異邦人をことごとく核數みるに合せて十五萬三千六百人ありければ
Solomon numbered all the foreigners who were in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father had numbered them; and they were found one hundred fifty-three thousand six hundred.
18 その七萬人をもて荷を負ふ者となし八萬人をもて山にて木や石を斫る者となし三千六百人をもて民を操作かしむる監督者となせり
He set seventy thousand of them to bear burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred overseers to set the people at work.
