2 Kings 25
1 And it came to pass, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came—he and all his force, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it, —and they built against it a siege wall, round about.
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 came into the siege, —until 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 On the ninth of the month, when the famine had become severe in the city, —and there had come to be no bread 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 then was the city broken up, and all the men of war [fled] by night by way of the gate between the two walls, which is by the garden of the king, the Chaldeans being near the city round about, —and he went the way of the Waste Plain;
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 and the force of the Chaldeans, pursued, the king, and overtook him in the Waste Plains of Jericho, —and, all his force, was scattered 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 So they seized the king, and brought him up unto the king of Babylon, at Riblah, —and they pronounced upon him sentence of judgment.
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, the sons of Zedekiah, they slew before his eyes, —and, the eyes of Zedekiah, put they out, and then bound him with fetters of bronze, and brought him into 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 And, in the fifth month, on the seventh of the month, the same, was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, chief of the royal executioners, servant of the king of Babylon, 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 burned the house of Yahweh, and the house of the king, —yea, all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great man’s house, burned he 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 of Jerusalem round about, did all the force of the Chaldeans who were with the chief of the royal executioners, break down.
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 residue of the people who were left in the city, and the disheartened who fell away unto the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan, chief of the royal executioners, carry away captive.
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, of the poorest of the land, did the chief of the royal executioners, leave, for vine-dressers and for husbandmen.
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 pillars of bronze that were in the house of Yahweh, and the stands, and the sea of bronze which was in the house of Yahweh, the Chaldeans brake in pieces, and they carried away the bronze of them 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 caldrons, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, even all the utensils of bronze wherewith ministration used to be made, did they take 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 sprinkling pans and the dashing bowls which were of gold, in gold, and which were of silver, in silver, did, the chief of the royal executions, take away.
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 one sea and the stands which Solomon made for the house of Yahweh, without weight, was the bronze of all these things.
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 Eighteen cubits, was the height of each pillar, and, the capital thereupon was of bronze, and, the height of the capital, was three cubits, and, the lattice-work and pomegranates upon the capital round about, the whole, was of bronze; and, like these, had the second pillar, upon the lattice-work.
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 chief of the royal executioners took Seraiah the head priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, —and the three keepers of the entrance hall;
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, out of the city, took he one courtier who himself was set over the men of war, and five men of them who were wont to see the face of the king, who were found in the city, and the scribe—general of the army, who used to muster the people of the land, —and sixty men of the people of the land, 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 and Nebuzaradan, chief of the royal executioners, took them, —and brought them unto 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 smote them and slew them in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, —and thus Judah disappeared from off their own soil.
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 But, as for the people who were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon left remaining, he set over them Gedaliah, son of Ahikam son of Shaphan.
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 And, when all the generals of the forces, they and the men, heard that the king of Babylon had given oversight unto Gedaliah, then came they in unto Gedaliah, at Mizpah, —even Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and Johanan son of Kareah, and Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of a Maacathite, they and 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 sware unto them, and to their men, and said to them, Do not fear because of the servants of the Chaldeans, —dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall 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 And it came to pass, in the seventh month, that Ishmael son of Nethaniah a son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, —and the Jews and the 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 arose all the people, both small and great, and the generals of the forces, and came into Egypt, —for they were afraid 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 And it came to pass, in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, —that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, did lift up the head of 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 he spake with him kind words, —and set his throne above the throne of the 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 changed his prison garments, —and he did eat bread continually before him, all the days 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, as his allowance, a continual portion, was given him, from the king, the provision of a day upon its own day, —all the days 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
