Now Solomon purposed to build a house for the name of Jehovah, and a house for his kingdom. |
さてソロモンは主の名のために一つの宮を建て、また自分のために一つの王宮を建てようと思った。 |
| 2-2 |
And Solomon counted out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand men that were hewers in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them. |
そしてソロモンは荷を負う者七万人、山で石を切り出す者八万人、これらを監督する者三千六百人を数え出した。 |
| 2-3 |
And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him a house to dwell therein, even so deal with me. |
ソロモンはまずツロのヒラムに人をつかわして言わせた、「あなたはわたしの父ダビデに、その住むべき家を建てるために香柏を送られました。どうぞ彼にされたように、わたしにもして下さい。 |
| 2-4 |
Behold, 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 showbread, 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 for ever to Israel. |
見よ、わたしはわが神、主の名のために一つの家を建て、これを聖別して彼にささげ、彼の前にこうばしい香をたき、常供のパンを供え、また燔祭を安息日、新月、およびわれらの神、主の定めの祭に朝夕ささげ、これをイスラエルのながく守るべき定めにしようとしています。 |
| 2-5 |
And the house which I build is great; for great is our God above all gods. |
またわたしの建てる家は大きな家です。われらの神はすべての神よりも大いなる神だからです。 |
| 2-6 |
But who is able to build him a house, seeing heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him a house, save only to burn incense before him? |
しかし、天も、諸天の天も彼を入れることができないのに、だれが彼のために家を建てることができましょうか。わたしは何者ですか、彼のために家を建てるというのも、ただ彼の前に香をたく所に、ほかならないのです。 |
| 2-7 |
Now therefore send me a man skilful to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that knoweth how to grave all manner of gravings, to be with the skilful men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide. |
それで、どうぞ金、銀、青銅、鉄の細工および紫糸、緋糸、青糸の織物にくわしく、また彫刻の術に巧みな工人ひとりをわたしに送って、父ダビデが備えておいたユダとエルサレムのわたしの工人たちと一緒に働かせてください。 |
| 2-8 |
Send me also cedar-trees, fir-trees, and algum-trees, out of Lebanon; for I know that thy servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon: and, behold, my servants shall be with thy servants, |
またどうぞレバノンから香柏、いとすぎ、びゃくだんを送ってください。わたしはあなたのしもべたちがレバノンで木を切ることをよくわきまえているのを知っています。わたしのしもべたちも、あなたのしもべたちと一緒に働かせ、 |
| 2-9 |
even to prepare me timber in abundance; for the house which I am about to build shall be great and wonderful. |
わたしのためにたくさんの材木を備えさせてください。わたしの建てる家は非常に広大なものですから。 |
| 2-10 |
And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that 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. |
わたしは木を切るあなたのしもべたちに砕いた小麦二万コル、大麦二万コル、ぶどう酒二万バテ、油二万バテを与えます」。 |
| 2-11 |
Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because Jehovah loveth his people, he hath made thee king over them. |
そこでツロの王ヒラムは手紙をソロモンに送って答えた、「主はその民を愛するゆえに、あなたを彼らの王とされました」。 |
| 2-12 |
Huram said moreover, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with discretion and understanding, that should build a house for Jehovah, and a house for his kingdom. |
ヒラムはまた言った、「天地を造られたイスラエルの神、主はほむべきかな。彼はダビデ王に賢い子を与え、これに分別と知恵を授けて、主のために宮を建て、また自分のために、王宮を建てることをさせられた。 |
| 2-13 |
And now I have sent a skilful man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father’s, |
いまわたしは達人ヒラムという知恵のある工人をつかわします。 |
| 2-14 |
the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan; and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, also to grave any manner of graving, and to devise any device; that there may be a place appointed unto him with thy skilful men, and with the skilful men of my lord David thy father. |
彼はダンの子孫である女を母とし、ツロの人を父とし、金銀、青銅、鉄、石、木の細工および紫糸、青糸、亜麻糸、緋糸の織物にくわしく、またよくもろもろの彫刻をし、意匠を凝らしてもろもろの工作をします。彼を用いてあなたの工人およびあなたの父、わが主ダビデの工人と一緒に働かせなさい。 |
| 2-15 |
Now therefore the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants: |
それでいまわが主の言われた小麦、大麦、油およびぶどう酒をそのしもべどもに送ってください。 |
| 2-16 |
and we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need; and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa; and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem. |
あなたの求められる材木はレバノンから切りだし、いかだに組んで、海からヨッパに送ります。あなたはそれをエルサレムに運び上げなさい」。 |
| 2-17 |
And Solomon numbered all the sojourners that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were found a hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred. |
そこでソロモンはその父ダビデが数えたようにイスラエルの国にいるすべての他国人を数えたが、合わせて十五万三千六百人あった。 |
| 2-18 |
And he set threescore and ten thousand of them to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand that were hewers in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people at work. |
彼はその七万人を荷を負う者とし、八万人を山で木や石を切る者とし、三千六百人を民を働かせる監督者とした。 |
