列王記Ⅰ 10

1 シバの女王ヱホバの名に關るソロモンの風聞を聞き及び難問を以てソロモンを試みんとて來れり

And the Queene of Sheba hearing ye fame of Salomon (concerning the Name of the Lord) came to proue him with hard questions.

2 彼甚だ多くの部從香物と甚だ多くの金と寶石を負ふ駱駝を從へてエルサレムに至る彼ソロモンの許に來り其心にある所を悉く之に言たるに

And she came to Ierusalem with a verie great traine, and camels that bare sweete odours, and golde exceeding much, and precious stones: and shee came to Salomon, and communed with him of all that was in her heart.

3 ソロモン彼に其凡の事を告たり王の知ずして彼に告ざる事無りき

And Salomon declared vnto her all her questions: nothing was hid from the King, which he expounded not vnto her.

4 シバの女王ソロモンの諸の智慧と其建たる家と

Then the Queene of Sheba sawe all Salomons wisedome, and the house that he had built,

5 其席の食物と其臣僕の列坐る事と其侍臣の伺候および彼等の衣服と其酒人と其ヱホバの家に上る階級とを見て全く其氣を奪はれたり

And the meate of his table, and the sitting of his seruants, and the order of his ministers, and their apparel, and his drinking vessels, and his burnt offrings, that he offered in the house of the Lord, and she was greatly astonied.

6 彼王にいひけるは我が自己の國にて爾の行爲と爾の智慧に付て聞たる言は眞實なりき

And shee sayde vnto the King, It was a true worde that I heard in mine owne lande of thy sayings, and of thy wisedome.

7 然ど我來りて目に見るまでは其言を信ぜざりしが今視るに其半も我に聞えざりしなり爾の智慧と昌盛はわが聞たる風聞に越ゆ

Howebeit I beleeued not this report till I came, and had seene it with mine eyes: but lo, ye one halfe was not tolde mee: for thou hast more wisedome and prosperitie, then I haue heard by report.

8 常に爾の前に立て爾の智慧を聽く是等の人爾の臣僕は幸福なるかな

Happy are the men, happie are these thy seruants, which stande euer before thee, and heare thy wisedome.

9 爾の神ヱホバは讃べきかなヱホバ爾を悦び爾をイスラエルの位に上らせたまへりヱホバ永久にイスラエルを愛したまふに因て爾を王となして公道と義を行はしめたまふなりと

Blessed be the Lord thy God, which loued thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel, because the Lord loued Israel for euer and made thee King to doe equitie and righteousnesse.

10 彼乃ち金百二十タラント及び甚だ多くの香物と寶石とを王に饋れりシバの女王のソロモン王に饋りたるが如き多くの香物は重て至ざりき

And she gaue the King sixe score talents of golde, and of sweete odours exceeding much, and precious stones. There came no more such aboundance of sweete odours, as the Queene of Sheba gaue to King Salomon.

11 オフルより金を載來りたるヒラムの船は亦オフルより多くの白檀木と寶石とを運び來りければ

The nauie also of Hiram (that caried gold from Ophir) brought likewise great plentie of Almuggim trees from Ophir and precious stones.

12 王白檀木を以てヱホバの家と王の家とに欄干を造り歌謡者のために琴と瑟を造れり是の如き白檀木は至らざりき亦今日までも見たることなし

And the King made of ye Almuggim trees pillars for the house of the Lord, and for ye Kings palace, and made harpes and psalteries for singers. There came no more such Almuggim trees, nor were any more seene vnto this day.

13 ソロモン王王の例に循ひてシバの女王に物を饋りたる外に又彼が望に任せて凡て其求むる物を饋れり斯て彼其臣僕等とともに歸りて其國に往り

And King Salomon gaue vnto the Queene of Sheba, whatsoeuer she would aske, besides that, which Salomon gaue her of his kingly liberalitie: so she returned and went to her owne countrey, both shee, and her seruantes.

14 偖一年にソロモンの所に至れる金の重量は六百六十六タラントなり

Also the weight of golde, that came to Salomon in one yeere, was sixe hundreth three score and six talents of gold,

15 外に又商買および商旅の交易並にアラビヤの王等と國の知事等よりも至れり

Besides that he had of marchant men and of the marchandises of them that solde spices, and of all the Kinges of Arabia, and of the princes of the countrey.

16 ソロモン王展金の大楯二百を造れり其大楯には各六百シケルの金を用ひたり

And King Salomon made two hundreth targets of beaten golde, sixe hundreth shekels of gold went to a target:

17 又展金の干三百を造れり一の干に三斤の金を用ひたり王是等をレバノン森林の家に置り

And three hundreth shieldes of beaten golde, three pound of gold went to one shielde: and the King put them in the house of the wood of Lebanon.

18 王又象牙をもて大なる寳座を造り純金を以て之を蔽へり

Then the King made a great throne of yuorie, and couered it with the best golde.

19 其寳座に六の階級あり寳座の後に圓き頭あり坐する處の兩旁に扶手ありて扶手の側に二の獅子立てり

And the throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind, and there were stayes on either side on the place of the throne, and two lions standing by the stayes.

20 又其六の階級に十二の獅子此旁彼旁に立り是の如き者を作れる國はあらざりき

And there stoode twelue lions on the sixe steps on either side: there was not the like made in any kingdome.

21 ソロモン王の用ひて飮る器は皆金なり又レバノン森林の家の器も皆純金にして銀の物無りき銀はソロモンの世には貴まざりしなり

And all King Salomons drinking vessels were of golde, and all the vessels of the house of the woode of Lebanon were of pure golde, none were of siluer: for it was nothing esteemed in the dayes of Salomon.

22 其は王海にタルシシの船を有てヒラムの船と供にあらしめタルシシの船をして三年に一度金銀象牙猿猴および孔雀を載て來らしめたればなり

For the King had on the sea the nauie of Tharshish with the nauie of Hiram: once in three yere came the nauie of Tharshish, and brought golde and siluer, yuorie, and apes and peacockes.

23 抑ソロモン王は富有と智慧に於て天下の諸の王よりも大なりければ

So King Salomon exceeded all the kings of the earth both in riches and in wisedome.

24 天下皆神がソロモンの心に授けたまへる智慧を聽んとてソロモンの面を見んことを求めたり

And al the world sought to see Salomon, to heare his wisedome, which God had put in his heart,

25 人々各其禮物を携へ來る即ち銀の器金の器衣服甲冑香物馬騾毎歳定分ありき

And they brought euery man his present, vessels of siluer, and vessels of golde, and raiment, and armour, and sweete odours, horses and mules, from yeere to yeere.

26 ソロモン戰車と騎兵を集めたるに戰車千四百輛騎兵壱萬二千ありきソロモン之を戰車の城邑に置き或はエルサレムにて王の所に置り

Then Salomon gathered together charrets and horsemen: and he had a thousand and foure hundreth charets, and twelue thousande horsemen, whome hee placed in the charet cities, and with the King at Ierusalem.

27 王エルサレムに於て銀を石の如くに爲し香柏を平地の桑樹の如くに爲して多く用ひたり

And the King gaue siluer in Ierusalem as stones, and gaue cedars as the wilde figtrees that growe abundantly in the plaine.

28 ソロモンの馬を獲たるはエジプトとコアよりなり即ち王の商賣コアより價値を以て取り

Also Salomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and fine linen: the Kings marchants receiued the linen for a price.

29 エジプトより上り出る戰車一輛は銀六百にして馬は百五十なりき斯のごとくヘテ人の凡の王等およびスリアの王等のために其手をもて取出せり

There came vp and went out of Egypt some charet, worth sixe hundreth shekels of siluer: that is, one horse, an hundreth and fiftie and thus they brought horses to all the Kings of the Hittites and to the Kings of Aram by their meanes.
