2 Kings 25
1 Now in the ninth year of his rule, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came against Jerusalem with all his army and took up his position before it, building earthworks all round the town.
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 town was shut in by their forces till the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
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 Now on the ninth day of the fourth month, the store of food in the town was almost gone, so that there was no food for the people of the land.
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 So an opening was made in the wall of the town, and all the men of war went in flight by night through the doorway between the two walls which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldaeans were stationed round the town: ) and the king went by the way of 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 Chaldaean army went after the king, and overtook him in the lowlands of Jericho, and all his army went in flight from him in every direction.
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 And they made the king a prisoner and took him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah to be judged.
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 put the sons of Zedekiah to death before his eyes, and then they put out his eyes, and chaining him with iron bands, 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 Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to 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 And he had the house of the Lord and the king's house and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned with fire;
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 walls round Jerusalem were broken down by the Chaldaean army which was with the captain.
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 And the rest of the people who were still in the town, and all those who had given themselves up to the king of Babylon, and all the rest of the workmen, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away as prisoners;
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 he let the poorest of the land go on living there, to take care of the vines and the 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 And the brass pillars in the house of the Lord, and the wheeled bases, and the great brass water-vessel in the house of the Lord, were broken up by the Chaldaeans, who took the brass 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 And the pots and the spades and the scissors for the lights and the spoons, and all the brass vessels used in the Lord's house, they took away.
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 And the fire-trays and the basins; the gold of the gold vessels and the silver of the silver vessels, were all taken away by the captain of the armed men.
侍衛の長また火盤と鉢など金銀にて作れる物を取り
16 The two pillars, the great water-vessel and the wheeled bases, which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
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 One of the pillars was eighteen cubits high, with a crown of brass on it; the crown was three cubits high, circled with a network and apples all of brass; and the second pillar had the same.
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 And the captain of the armed men took Seraiah, the chief priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three door-keepers;
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 And from the town he took the unsexed servant who was over the men of war, and five of the king's near friends who were in the town, and the scribe of the captain of the army, who was responsible for getting the people of the land together in military order, and sixty men of the people of the land who were in the town.
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 These Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took with him 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 And the king of Babylon put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was taken away prisoner from his 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 As for the people who were still living in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, did not take away, he made Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler over them.
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 Now the captains of the armed forces, hearing that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah ruler, came with their men to Gedaliah at Mizpah; Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah, the son of the Maacathite, came with all 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 Then Gedaliah gave his oath to them and their men, saying, Have no fear because of the servants of the Chaldaeans; go on living in the land under the rule of the king of Babylon, and all will be well.
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 But in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the king's seed, came with ten men and made an attack on Gedaliah, causing his death and the death of the Jews and the Chaldaeans 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, and the captains of the forces, got up and went away to Egypt, for fear of the Chaldaeans.
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 And in the thirty-seventh year after Jehoiachin, king of Judah, had been taken prisoner, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evil-merodach, king of Babylon, in the first year of his rule, took Jehoiachin, king of Judah, out of 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 said kind words to him, and put his seat higher than the seats 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 And his prison clothing was changed, and he was a guest at the king's table every day 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 for his food, the king gave him a regular amount every day 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
