2 Kings 25
1 So in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his entire army. They encamped outside the city and built a siege wall all around it.
茲にゼデキヤの代の九年の十月十日にバビロンの王ネブカデネザルその諸軍勢を率てヱルサレムに攻きたりこれにむかひて陣を張り周圍に雲梯を建てこれを攻たり
2 And the city was kept under siege until King Zedekiah’s eleventh year.
かくこの邑攻かこまれてゼデキヤ王の十一年にまでおよびしが
3 By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so severe that the people of the land had no food.
その四月九日にいたりて城邑の中饑ること甚だしくなりその地の民食物を得ざりき
4 Then the city was breached; and though the Chaldeans had surrounded the city, all the men of war fled by night by way of the gate between the two walls near the king’s garden. They headed toward the Arabah,
是をもて城邑つひに打破られければ兵卒はみな王の園の邊なる二箇の石垣の間の途より夜の中に逃いで皆平地の途にしたがひておちゆけり時にカルデア人は城邑を圍みをる
5 but the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was separated from him.
茲にカルデア人の軍勢王を追ゆきヱリコの平地にてこれに追つきけるにその軍勢みな彼を離れて散しかば
6 The Chaldeans seized the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where they pronounced judgment on him.
カルデア人王を執へてこれをリブラにをるバビロンの王の許に曳ゆきてその罪をさだめ
7 And they slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. Then they put out his eyes, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon.
ゼデキヤの子等をゼデキヤの目の前に殺しゼデキヤの目を抉しこれを鋼索につなぎてバビロンにたづさへゆけり
8 On the seventh day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign over Babylon, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.
バビロンの王ネブカデネザルの代の十九年の五月七日にバビロンの王の臣侍衛の長ネブザラダン、ヱルサレムにきたり
9 He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem—every significant building.
ヱホバの室と王の室を燒き火をもてヱルサレムのすべての室と一切の大なる室を燒り
10 And the whole army of the Chaldeans under the captain of the guard broke down the walls around Jerusalem.
また侍衛の長とともにありしカルデア人の軍勢ヱルサレムの四周の石垣を毀てり
11 Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried into exile the people who remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to the king of Babylon and the rest of the population.
侍衛の長ネブザラダンすなはち邑に遺されし殘餘の民およびバビロンの王に降りし降人と群衆の殘餘者を擄へうつせり
12 But the captain of the guard left behind some of the poorest of the land to tend the vineyards and fields.
但し侍衛の長その地の或貧者をのこして葡萄をつくる者となし農夫となせり
13 Moreover, the Chaldeans broke up the bronze pillars and stands and the bronze Sea in the house of the LORD, and they carried the bronze to Babylon.
カルデア人またヱホバの家の銅の柱と洗盤の臺と銅の海をくだきてその銅をバビロンに運び
14 They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, dishes, and all the articles of bronze used in the temple service.
また鍋と火鏟と燈剪と匙および凡て役事に用ふる銅の器を取り
15 The captain of the guard also took away the censers and sprinkling bowls—anything made of pure gold or fine silver.
侍衛の長また火盤と鉢など金銀にて作れる物を取り
16 As for the two pillars, the Sea, and the movable stands that Solomon had made for the house of the LORD, the weight of the bronze from all these articles was beyond measure.
またソロモンがヱホバの室に造しところの二の柱と一の海と臺とを取り此もろもろの銅の重は量るべからず
17 Each pillar was eighteen cubits tall. The bronze capital atop one pillar was three cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates all around. The second pillar, with its network, was similar.
この柱は高さ十八キユビトにしてその上に銅の頂ありその頂の高は三キユビトその頂の四周に網子と石榴とありて皆銅なり他の柱とその網子もこれに同じ
18 The captain of the guard also took away Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest of second rank, and the three doorkeepers.
侍衛の長は祭司の長セラヤと第二の祭司ゼパニヤと三人の門守を執へ
19 Of those still in the city, he took a court official who had been appointed over the men of war, as well as five royal advisors. He also took the scribe of the captain of the army, who had enlisted the people of the land, and sixty men who were found in the city.
また兵卒を督どる一人の寺人と王の前にはべる者の中邑にて遇しところの者五人とその地の民を募る軍勢の長なる書記官と城邑の中にて遇しところの六十人の者を邑より擄へされり
20 Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
侍衛の長ネブザラダンこれらを執へてリブラにをるバビロンの王の許にいたりければ
21 There at Riblah in the land of Hamath, the king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death. So Judah was taken into exile, away from its own land.
バビロンの王ハマテの地のリブラにてこれらを撃殺せりかくユダはおのれの地よりとらへ移されたり
22 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, over the people he had left behind in the land of Judah.
かくてバビロンの王ネブカデネザルは自己が遺してユダの地に止らしめし民の上にシヤパンの子なるアヒカムの子ゲダリヤをたててこれをその督者となせり
23 When all the commanders of the armies and their men heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah as governor, they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah—Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maacathite, as well as their men.
茲に軍勢の長等およびこれに屬する人々みなバビロンの王がゲダリヤを督者となせしことを聞しかばすなはちネタニヤの子イシマエル、カレヤの子ヨナハン、ネトバ人タンホメテの子セラヤおよび或マアカ人の子ヤザニヤならびに彼らに屬する人々ミヅパにきたりてゲダリヤの許にいたれり
24 And Gedaliah took an oath before them and their men, assuring them, “Do not be afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans. Live in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.”
ゲダリヤすなはち彼等とかれらに屬する人々に誓ひてこれに言けるは汝等カルデア人の僕となることを恐るるなかれこの地に住てバビロンの王につかへなば汝等幸福ならんと
25 In the seventh month, however, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, who was a member of the royal family, came with ten men and struck down and killed Gedaliah, along with the Judeans and Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
然るに七月に王の血統なるエリシヤマの子ネタニヤの子なるイシマエル十人の者とともに來りてゲダリヤを撃ころし又彼とともにミヅパにをりしユダヤ人とカルデア人を殺せり
26 Then all the people small and great, together with the commanders of the army, arose and fled to Egypt for fear of the Chaldeans.
是において大小の民および軍勢の長等みな起てエジプトにおもむけり是はカルデヤ人をおそれたればなり
27 On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Judah’s King Jehoiachin, in the year Evil-merodach became king of Babylon, he released King Jehoiachin of Judah from prison.
ユダの王ヱホヤキムがとらへ移れたる後三十七年の十二月二十七日バビロンの王エビルメロダクその代の一年にユダの王ヱホヤキムを獄より出してその首をあげしめ
28 And he spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
善言をもて彼をなぐさめその位をバビロンにともに居るところの王等の位よりも高くし
29 So Jehoiachin changed out of his prison clothes, and he dined regularly at the king’s table for the rest of his life.
その獄の衣服を易しめたりヱホヤキムは一生のあひだつねに王の前に食をなせり
30 And the king provided Jehoiachin a daily portion for the rest of his life.
かれ一生のあひだたえず日々の分を王よりたまはりてその食物となせり
