歴代誌Ⅱ 8
1 ソロモンは二十年を経て、主の家と自分の家とを建て終った。
And it came to pass after twenty years, in which Solomon built the house of the Lord, and his own house,
2 またソロモンはヒラムから送られた町々を建て直して、そこにイスラエルの人々を住ませた。
that Solomon rebuilt the cities which Chiram had given to Solomon, and caused the children of Israel to dwell in them.
3 ソロモンはまたハマテ・ゾバを攻めて、これを取った。
And Solomon came to Baesoba, and fortified it.
4 彼はまた荒野にタデモルを建て、もろもろの倉の町をハマテに建てた。
And he built Thoedmor in the wilderness, and all the strong cities which he built in Emath.
5 また城壁、門、貫の木のある堅固な町、上ベテホロンと下ベテホロンを建てた。
And he built Baethoron the upper, and Baethoron the lower, strong cities, —they had walls, gates, and bars;
6 ソロモンはまたバアラテと自分のもっていたすべての倉の町と、すべての戦車の町と、騎兵の町、ならびにエルサレム、レバノンおよび自分の治める全地方に建てようと望んだものを、ことごとく建てた。
and Balaath, and all the strong cities which Solomon had, and all his chariot cities, and cities of horsemen, and all things that Solomon desired according to his desire of building, in Jerusalem, and in Libanus, and in all his kingdom.
7 すべてイスラエルの子孫でないヘテびと、アモリびと、ペリジびと、ヒビびと、エブスびとの残った民、
[As for] all the people that was left of the Chettites, and the Amorites, and the Pherezites, and the Evites, and the Jebusites, who are not of Israel,
8 その地にあって彼らのあとに残ったその子孫、すなわちイスラエルの子孫が滅ぼし尽さなかった民に、ソロモンは強制徴募をおこなって今日に及んでいる。
but were of the children of them whom the children Israel destroyed not, that were left after them in the land, even them did Solomon make tributaries to this day.
9 しかし、イスラエルの人々をソロモンはその工事のためには、ひとりも奴隷としなかった。彼らは兵士となり、将校となり、戦車と、騎兵の長となった。
But Solomon did not make any of the children of Israel servants in his kingdom; for, behold, [they were] warriors and rulers, and mighty [men], and captains of chariots and horsemen.
10 これらはソロモン王のおもな官吏で、二百五十人あり、民を治めた。
And these are the chiefs of the officers of king Solomon, two hundred and fifty overseeing the work among the people.
11 ソロモンはパロの娘をダビデの町から連れ上って、彼女のために建てた家に入れて言った、「主の箱を迎えた所は神聖であるから、わたしの妻はイスラエルの王ダビデの家に住んではならない」。
And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharao from the city of David to the house which he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the city of David, the king of Israel, for [the place] is holy into which the ark of the Lord has entered.
12 ソロモンは廊の前に築いておいた主の祭壇の上で主に燔祭をささげた。
Then Solomon offered up to the Lord whole-burnt-offerings on the altar which he had built to the Lord before the temple,
13 すなわちモーセの命令に従って、毎日定めのようにささげ、安息日、新月および年に三度の祭、すなわち種入れぬパンの祭、七週の祭、仮庵の祭にこれをささげた。
according to the daily rate, to offer up [sacrifices] according to the commandments of Moses, on the sabbaths, and at the new moons, and at the feasts, three times in the year, at the feast of unleavened bread, and at the feast of weeks, and at the feast of tabernacles.
14 ソロモンは、その父ダビデのおきてに従って、祭司の組を定めてその職に任じ、またレビびとをその勤めに任じて、毎日定めのように祭司の前でさんびと奉仕をさせ、また門を守る者に、その組にしたがって、もろもろの門を守らせた。これは神の人ダビデがこのように命じたからである。
And he established, according to the order of his father David, the courses of the priests, and [that] according to their public ministrations: and the Levites [were appointed] over their charges, to praise and minister before the priests according to the daily order: and the porters were appointed according to their courses to the different gates: for thus [were] the commandments of David the man of God.
15 祭司とレビびとはすべての事につき、また倉の事について、王の命令にそむかなかった。
They transgressed not the commandments of the king concerning the priests and the Levites with regard to everything else, and with regard to the treasures.
16 このようにソロモンは、主の宮の基をすえた日からこれをなし終えたときまで、その工事の準備をことごとくなしたので、主の宮は完成した。
Now all the work had been prepared from the day when the foundation was laid, until Solomon finished the house of the Lord.
17 それからソロモンはエドムの地の海べにあるエジオン・ゲベルおよびエロテへ行った。
Then Solomon went to Gasion Gaber, and to Aelath near the sea in the land of Idumea.
18 時にヒラムはそのしもべどもの手によって船団を彼に送り、また海の事になれたしもべどもをつかわしたので、彼らはソロモンのしもべらと共にオフルへ行き、そこから金四百五十タラントを取って、これをソロモン王のもとに携えてきた。
And Chiram sent by the hand of his servants ships, and servants skilled in naval affairs; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Sophira, and brought thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and they came to king Solomon.
