列王記Ⅰ 9
1 ソロモンが主の宮と王の宮殿およびソロモンが建てようと望んだすべてのものを建て終った時、
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 主はかつてギベオンでソロモンに現れられたように再び現れて、
That the Lord appeared to him the second time, as he had appeared to him in Gabaon.
3 彼に言われた、「あなたが、わたしの前に願った祈と願いとを聞いた。わたしはあなたが建てたこの宮を聖別して、わたしの名を永久にそこに置く。わたしの目と、わたしの心は常にそこにあるであろう。
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 あなたがもし、あなたの父ダビデが歩んだように全き心をもって正しくわたしの前に歩み、すべてわたしが命じたようにおこなって、わたしの定めと、おきてとを守るならば、
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 わたしは、あなたの父ダビデに約束して『イスラエルの王位にのぼる人があなたに欠けることはないであろう』と言ったように、あなたのイスラエルに王たる位をながく確保するであろう。
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 しかし、あなたがた、またはあなたがたの子孫がそむいてわたしに従わず、わたしがあなたがたの前に置いた戒めと定めとを守らず、他の神々に行って、それに仕え、それを拝むならば、
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 わたしはイスラエルを、わたしが与えた地のおもてから断つであろう。またわたしの名のために聖別した宮をわたしの前から投げすてるであろう。そしてイスラエルはもろもろの民のうちにことわざとなり、笑い草となるであろう。
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 かつ、この宮は荒塚となり、そのかたわらを過ぎる者は皆驚き、うそぶいて『なにゆえ、主はこの地と、この宮とにこのようにされたのか』と言うであろう。
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 その時人々は答えて『彼らは自分の先祖をエジプトの地から導き出した彼らの神、主を捨てて、他の神々につき従い、それを拝み、それに仕えたために、主はこのすべての災を彼らの上に下したのである』と言うであろう」。
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 ソロモンは二十年を経て二つの家すなわち主の宮と王の宮殿とを建て終った時、
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 ツロの王ヒラムがソロモンの望みに任せて香柏と、いとすぎと、金とを供給したので、ソロモン王はガリラヤの地の町二十をヒラムに与えた。
(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 しかしヒラムがツロから来て、ソロモンが彼に与えた町々を見たとき、それらは彼の気にいらなかったので、
And Hiram came out of Tyre, to see the towns which Solomon had given him, and they pleased him not,
13 彼は、「兄弟よ、あなたがくださったこれらの町々は、いったいなんですか」と言った。それで、そこは今日までカブルの地と呼ばれている。
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 ヒラムはかつて金百二十タラントを王に贈った。
And Hiram sent to king Solomon a hundred and twenty talents of gold.
15 ソロモン王が強制的に労働者を徴募したのはこうである。すなわち主の宮と自分の宮殿と、ミロとエルサレムの城壁と、ハゾルとメギドとゲゼルを建てるためであった。
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 （エジプトの王パロはかつて上ってきて、ゲゼルを取り、火でこれを焼き、その町に住んでいたカナンびとを殺し、これをソロモンの妻である自分の娘に与えて婚姻の贈り物としたので、
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 ソロモンはそのゲゼルを建て直した）。また下ベテホロンと、
So Solomon built: Gazer, and Beth-horon the nether,
18 バアラテとユダの国の荒野にあるタマル、
And Baalath, and Palmira in the land of the wilderness.
19 およびソロモンが持っていた倉庫の町々、戦車の町々、騎兵の町々ならびにソロモンがエルサレム、レバノンおよびそのすべての領地において建てようと望んだものをことごとく建てるためであった。
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 すべてイスラエルの子孫でないアモリびと、ヘテびと、ペリジびと、ヒビびと、エブスびとの残った者、
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 その地にあって彼らのあとに残った子孫すなわちイスラエルの人々の滅ぼしつくすことのできなかった者を、ソロモンは強制的に奴隷として徴募をおこない、今日に至っている。
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 しかしイスラエルの人々をソロモンはひとりも奴隷としなかった。彼らは軍人、また彼の役人、司令官、指揮官、戦車隊長、騎兵隊長であったからである。
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 ソロモンの工事を監督する上役の官吏は五百五十人であって、工事に働く民を治めた。
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 パロの娘はダビデの町から上って、ソロモンが彼女のために建てた家に住んだ。その時ソロモンはミロを建てた。
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 ソロモンは主のために築いた祭壇の上に年に三度燔祭と酬恩祭をささげ、また主の前に香をたいた。こうしてソロモンは宮を完成した。
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 ソロモン王はエドムの地、紅海の岸のエラテに近いエジオン・ゲベルで数隻の船を造った。
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 ヒラムは海の事を知っている船員であるそのしもべをソロモンのしもべと共にその船でつかわした。
And Hiram sent his servants in the fleet, sailors that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
28 彼らはオフルへ行って、そこから金四百二十タラントを取って、ソロモン王の所にもってきた。
And they came to Ophir, and they brought from thence to king Solomon four hundred and twenty talents of gold.
