열왕기상 5

1솔로몬이 기름 부음을 받고 그 부친을 이어 왕이 되었다 함을 두로 왕 히람이 듣고 그 신복을 솔로몬에게 보내었으니 이는 히람이 평일에 다윗을 사랑하였음이라 2이에 솔로몬이 히람에게 기별하여 가로되 3당신도 알거니와 내 부친 다윗이 사방의 전쟁으로 인하여 전을 건축하지 못하고 여호와께서 그 원수들을 그 발바닥 밑에 두시기를 기다렸나이다 4이제 내 하나님 여호와께서 내게 사방의 태평을 주시매 대적도 없고 재앙도 없도다 5여호와께서 내 부친 다윗에게 하신 말씀에 내가 너를 이어 네 위에 오르게 할 네 아들 그가 내 이름을 위하여 전을 건축하리라 하신 대로 내가 내 하나님 여호와의 이름을 위하여 전을 건축하려 하오니 6당신은 영을 내려 나를 위하여 레바논에서 백향목을 베어내게 하소서 나의 종과 당신의 종이 함께할 것이요 또 내가 당신의 모든 말씀대로 당신의 종의 삯을 당신에게 붙이리이다 당신도 알거니와 우리 중에는 시돈 사람처럼 벌목을 잘하는 자가 없나이다 7히람이 솔로몬의 말을 듣고 크게 기뻐하여 가로되 오늘날 여호와를 찬양할지로다 저가 다윗에게 지혜로운 아들을 주사 그 많은 백성을 다스리게 하셨도다 하고 8이에 솔로몬에게 기별하여 가로되 당신의 기별하신 말씀을 내가 듣고 내 백향목 재목과 잣나무 재목에 대하여는 당신의 바라시는 대로 할지라 9내 종이 레바논에서 바다로 수운하겠고 내가 그것을 바다에서 떼로 엮어 당신이 지정하는 곳으로 보내고 거기서 그것을 풀리니 당신은 받으시고 나의 원을 이루어서 나의 궁정을 위하여 식물을 주소서 하고 10솔로몬의 모든 원대로 백향목 재목과 잣나무 재목을 주매 11솔로몬이 히람에게 그 궁정의 식물로 밀 이만 석과 맑은 기름 이십 석을 주고 해마다 그와 같이 주었더라 12여호와께서 그 말씀대로 솔로몬에게 지혜를 주시므로 히람과 솔로몬이 친목하여 두 사람이 함께 약조를 맺었더라 13이에 솔로몬 왕이 온 이스라엘에서 역군을 불러 일으키니 그 역군의 수가 삼만이라 14솔로몬이 저희들을 한 달에 일만 인씩 번갈아 레바논으로 보내매 저희들이 한 달은 레바논에 있고 두 달은 집에 있으며 아도니람은 감독이 되었고 15솔로몬에게 또 담군이 칠만 인이요 산에서 돌을 뜨는 자가 팔만 인이며 16이 외에 그 역사를 동독하는 관리가 삼천삼백 인이라 저희가 일하는 백성을 거느렸더라 17이에 왕이 영을 내려 크고 귀한 돌을 떠다가 다듬어서 전의 기초석으로 놓게 하매 18솔로몬의 건축자와 히람의 건축자와 그발 사람이 그 돌을 다듬고 전을 건축하기 위하여 재목과 돌들을 갖추니라

1Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the place of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David. 2Solomon sent to Hiram, saying, 3“You know how that David my father could not build a house for the name of Yahweh his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until Yahweh put them under the soles of his feet. 4But now Yahweh my God has given me rest on every side. There is neither adversary, nor evil occurrence. 5Behold, I purpose to build a house for the name of Yahweh my God, as Yahweh spoke to David my father, saying, ‘Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, he shall build the house for my name.’ 6Now therefore command that they cut me cedar trees out of Lebanon. My servants shall be with your servants; and I will give you wages for your servants according to all that you shall say. For you know that there is not among us any who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians.” 7When Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly, and said, “Blessed is Yahweh this day, who has given to David a wise son over this great people.” 8Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, “I have heard the message which you have sent to me. I will do all your desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir. 9My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place that you shall appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and you shall receive them. You shall accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.” 10So Hiram gave Solomon timber of cedar and timber of fir according to all his desire. 11Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil. Solomon gave this to Hiram year by year. 12Yahweh gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a treaty together. 13King Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men. 14He sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses; a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home; and Adoniram was over the men subject to forced labor. 15Solomon had seventy thousand who bore burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains; 16besides Solomon’s chief officers who were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, who bore rule over the people who labored in the work. 17The king commanded, and they cut out great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with worked stone. 18Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders and the Gebalites cut them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.

1En Hiram, de koning van Tyrus, zond zijn knechten tot Salomo (want hij had gehoord, dat zij Salomo tot koning gezalfd hadden in zijns vaders plaats), dewijl Hiram David altijd bemind had. 2Daarna zond Salomo tot Hiram, zeggende: 3Gij weet, dat mijn vader David den Naam des HEEREN, zijns Gods, geen huis kon bouwen, vanwege de oorlogen, waarmede zij hem omsingelden, totdat de HEERE hen onder zijn voetzolen gaf. 4Maar nu heeft de HEERE, mijn God, mij van rondom rust gegeven; er is geen tegenpartijder, en geen bejegening van kwaad. 5En zie, ik denk voor den Naam van den HEERE, mijn God, een huis te bouwen; gelijk als de HEERE gesproken heeft tot mijn vader David, zeggende: Uw zoon, dien Ik in uw plaats op uw troon zetten zal, die zal Mijn Naam dat huis bouwen. 6Zo gebied nu, dat men mij cederen uit den Libanon houwe, en mijn knechten zullen met uw knechten zijn, en het loon uwer knechten zal ik u geven, naar al wat gij zeggen zult; want gij weet, dat onder ons niemand is, die weet hout te houwen, gelijk de Sidoniers. 7En het geschiedde, als Hiram de woorden van Salomo gehoord had, dat hij zich zeer verblijdde, en zeide: Gezegend zij de HEERE heden, Die David een wijzen zoon gegeven heeft over dit grote volk! 8En Hiram zond tot Salomo, zeggende: Ik heb gehoord, waarom gij tot mij gezonden hebt; ik zal al uw wil doen met het cederenhout, en met het dennenhout. 9Mijn knechten zullen het afbrengen van den Libanon aan de zee; en ik zal het op vlotten over de zee doen voeren, tot die plaats, die gij aan mij ontbieden zult, en zal het aldaar los maken, en gij zult het wegnemen; gij zult ook mijn wil doen, dat gij mijn huis spijze geeft. 10Alzo gaf Hiram aan Salomo cederenhout en dennenhout, naar al zijn wil. 11En Salomo gaf Hiram twintig duizend kor tarwe, tot spijze van zijn huis, en twintig kor gestoten olie; zulks gaf Salomo aan Hiram jaar op jaar. 12De HEERE dan gaf Salomo wijsheid, gelijk als Hij tot hem gesproken had; en er was vrede tussen Hiram en tussen Salomo, en zij beiden maakten een verbond. 13En de koning Salomo deed een uitschot opkomen uit gans Israel; en het uitschot was dertig duizend man. 14En hij zond hen naar den Libanon, tien duizend des maands bij beurten; een maand waren zij op den Libanon; twee maanden elk in zijn huis; en Adoniram was over dit uitschot. 15Daartoe had Salomo zeventig duizend, die last droegen, en tachtig duizend houwers op het gebergte. 16Behalve de oversten van Salomo's bestelden, die over dat werk waren, drie duizend en driehonderd, die heerschappij hadden over het volk, hetwelk dat werk deed. 17Als de koning het nu gebood, zo voerden zij grote stenen toe, kostelijke stenen, gehouwen stenen, om den grond van dat huis te leggen. 18En de bouwlieden van Salomo, en de bouwlieden van Hiram, en de Giblieten behieuwen ze, en bereidden het hout toe, en de stenen, om dat huis te bouwen.
