列王記Ⅰ 6
1 イスラエルの人々がエジプトの地を出て後四百八十年、ソロモンがイスラエルの王となって第四年のジフの月すなわち二月に、ソロモンは主のために宮を建てることを始めた。
And it came to pass, in the four hundred and eightieth year after the going forth of the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, of the reign of Solomon over Israel, that he built the house unto the Lord.
2 ソロモン王が主のために建てた宮は長さ六十キュビト、幅二十キュビト、高さ三十キュビトであった。
And the house which king Solomon built unto the Lord, was sixty cubits in length, and twenty in breadth, and thirty cubits in height.
3 宮の拝殿の前の廊は宮の幅にしたがって長さ二十キュビト、その幅は宮の前で十キュビトであった。
And the porch before the temple of the house, was twenty cubits in length, in front of the breadth of the house; and ten cubits in breadth at the east side of the house.
4 彼は宮に、内側の広い枠の窓を造った。
And he made for the house windows wide without and narrow within.
5 また宮の壁につけて周囲に脇屋を設け、宮の壁すなわち拝殿と本殿の壁の周囲に建てめぐらし、宮の周囲に脇間があるようにした。
And he built on the wall of the house a gallery round about, on the walls of the house round about, of the temple and of the most holy place: and he made side-chambers round about.
6 下の脇間は広さ五キュビト、中の広さ六キュビト、第三のは広さ七キュビトであった。宮の外側には壁に段を造って、梁を宮の壁の中に差し込まないようにした。
The nethermost gallery was five cubits in breadth, and the middle was six cubits in breadth, and the third was seven cubits in breadth; for projections had he made to the house round about on the outside, so as to fasten nothing in the walls of the house.
7 宮は建てる時に、石切り場で切り整えた石をもって造ったので、建てている間は宮のうちには、つちも、おのも、その他の鉄器もその音が聞えなかった。
And the house, when it was in building, was built of entire stones as they had been prepared at the quarry: so that neither hammer, nor axe, nor any tool of iron was heard in the house, while it was in building.
8 下の脇間の入口は宮の右側にあり、回り階段によって中の脇間に、中の脇間から第三の脇間にのぼった。
The door for the middle [gallery] sidechamber was in the right side of the house: and with winding stairs they went up into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third.
9 こうして彼は宮を建て終り、香柏のたるきと板をもって宮の天井を造った。
So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with hollow tiles, and with boards of cedar.
10 また宮につけて、おのおの高さ五キュビトの脇間のある脇屋を建てめぐらし、香柏の材木をもって宮に接続させた。
And he built the gallery against all the house, [each] five cubits in height; and it was fastened on to the house with timber of cedar.
11 そこで主の言葉がソロモンに臨んだ、
And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying,
12 「あなたが建てるこの宮については、もしあなたがわたしの定めに歩み、おきてを行い、すべての戒めを守り、それに従って歩むならば、わたしはあなたの父ダビデに約束したことを成就する。
This house which thou art building—if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them: then will I perform my word with thee, which I have spoken unto David thy father.
13 そしてわたしはイスラエルの人々のうちに住み、わたしの民イスラエルを捨てることはない」。
And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and I will not forsake my people Israel.
14 こうしてソロモンは宮を建て終った。
So did Solomon build the house, and finish it.
15 彼は香柏の板をもって宮の壁の内側を張った。すなわち宮の床から天井のたるきまで香柏の板で張った。また、いとすぎの板をもって宮の床を張った。
And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to where the walls touched the ceiling did he overlay it on the inside with wood; and he overlaid the floor of the house with boards of fir.
16 また宮の奥に二十キュビトの室を床から天井のたるきまで香柏の板をもって造った。すなわち宮の内に至聖所としての本堂を造った。
And he built the twenty cubits on the lower side of the house with boards of cedar, from the floor to the battlements; and he built it within, for the debir, for the holy of holies.
17 宮すなわち本殿の前にある拝殿は長さ四十キュビトであった。
And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long.
18 宮の内側の香柏の板は、ひさごの形と、咲いた花を浮彫りにしたもので、みな香柏の板で、石は見えなかった。
And the cedar on the house within was carved with colocynths and opening flowers; all was cedar, no stone was seen.
19 そして主の契約の箱を置くために、宮の内の奥に本殿を設けた。
And the debir in the house within did he prepare, to set therein the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
20 本殿は長さ二十キュビト、幅二十キュビト、高さ二十キュビトであって、純金でこれをおおった。また香柏の祭壇を造った。
And the interior of the debir was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits was its height: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and he overlaid the altar with cedar-wood.
21 ソロモンは純金をもって宮の内側をおおい、本殿の前に金の鎖をもって隔てを造り、金をもってこれをおおった。
And Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he barred by means of chains of gold the front of the debir; and he overlaid it with gold.
22 また金をもって残らず宮をおおい、ついに宮を飾ることをことごとく終えた。また本殿に属する祭壇をことごとく金でおおった。
And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until all the house was finished: also the whole altar that was before the debir did he overlay with gold.
23 本殿のうちにオリブの木をもって二つのケルビムを造った。その高さはおのおの十キュビト。
And within the debir he made two cherubims of oleaster-wood, each ten cubits high.
24 そのケルブの一つの翼の長さは五キュビト、またそのケルブの他の翼の長さも五キュビトであった。一つの翼の端から他の翼の端までは十キュビトあった。
And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: [there were] ten cubits from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other.
25 他のケルブも十キュビトであって、二つのケルビムは同じ寸法、同じ形であった。
And the other cherub was also ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.
26 このケルブの高さは十キュビト、かのケルブの高さも同じであった。
The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so that of the other cherub.
27 ソロモンは宮のうちの奥にケルビムをすえた。ケルビムの翼を伸ばしたところ、このケルブの翼はこの壁に達し、かのケルブの翼はかの壁に達し、他の二つの翼は宮の中で互に触れ合った。
And he set the cherubim within the innermost part of the house: and they spread forth the wings of the cherubim, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings toward the middle of the house touched one another.
28 彼は金をもってそのケルビムをおおった。
And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
29 彼は宮の周囲の壁に、内外の室とも皆ケルビムと、しゅろの木と、咲いた花の形の彫り物を刻み、
And on all the wall of the house round about he carved figures of cherubim and palm-trees and opening flowers, in the debir and in the temple.
30 宮の床は、内外の室とも金でおおった。
And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold for the debir and for the temple.
31 本殿の入口にはオリブの木のとびらを造った。そのとびらの上のかまちと脇柱とで五辺形をなしていた。
And for the entrance of the debir he made doors of oleaster-wood: the lintel with the side-posts forming five sides.
32 その二つのとびらもオリブの木であって、ソロモンはその上にケルビムと、しゅろの木と、咲いた花の形を刻み、金をもっておおった。すなわちケルビムと、しゅろの木の上に金を着せた。
And also upon the two doors of oleaster-wood he carved figures of cherubim and palm-trees and opening flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread the gold, by beating, upon the cherubim, and upon the palm-trees.
33 こうしてソロモンはまた拝殿の入口のためにオリブの木で四角の形に脇柱を造った。
So also made he for the entrance of the temple door-posts of oleaster-wood in shape of a square;
34 その二つのとびらはいとすぎであって、一つのとびらは二つにたたむ折り戸であり、他のとびらも二つにたたむ折り戸であった。
And two doors of fir-wood: the one door having two leaves which were folding, and the other door having two leaves which were folding.
35 ソロモンはその上にケルビムと、しゅろの木と、咲いた花を刻み、金をもって彫り物の上を形どおりにおおった。
And he carved thereon cherubim, and palm-trees and opening flowers: and he overlaid them with gold fitting upon the carved work.
36 また切り石三かさねと、香柏の角材ひとかさねとをもって内庭を造った。
And he built the inner court of three rows of hewn stone, and one row of cedar beams.
37 第四年のジフの月に主の宮の基をすえ、
In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the Lord laid, in the month Ziv;
38 第十一年のブルの月すなわち八月に、宮のすべての部分が設計どおりに完成した。ソロモンはこれを建てるのに七年を要した。
And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all its parts, and according to all its requirements. So was he building it seven years.
