< Jeremiah 39 >

1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his force against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
ユダの王ゼデキヤの九年十月バビロンの王ネブカデネザルその全軍をひきゐヱルサレムにきたりて之を攻圍みけるが
2 In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month on the ninth of the month, was the city broken into.
ゼデキヤの十一年四月九日にいたりて城邑破れたれば
3 Then came in all the princes of the king of Babylon, and sat in the middle gate, —Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, chief eunuch Nergal-sharezer, chief soothsayer, and all the residue of the princes of the king of Babylon.
バビロンの王の牧伯等即ちネルガルシヤレゼル、サムガルネボ 寺人の長サルセキム 博士の長ネルガルシヤレゼルおよびバビロンの王のその外の牧伯等皆ともに入て中の門に坐せり
4 And it came to pass as soon as Zedekiah king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, that they fled, and went forth by night out of the city, by way of the king’s garden, through the gate between the two walls, —and he went forth by way of the waste plain.
ユダの王ゼデキヤおよび兵卒ども之を見て逃げ夜の中に王の園の途より兩の石垣の間の門より邑をいでてアラバの途にゆきしが
5 But the force of the Chaldeans pursued them, and overtook Zedekiah in the waste plains of Jericho, and when they had taken him, they brought him up unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, to Riblah, in the land of Hamath, —and pronounced upon him sentences of judgment.
カルデヤ人の軍勢これを追ひヱリコの平地にてゼデキヤにおひつき之を執へてハマテの地リブラにをるバビロンの王ネブカデネザルの許に曳ゆきければ王かしこにて彼の罪をさだめたり
6 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah, in Riblah before his eyes, —and all the nobles of Judah, did the king of Babylon slay;
すなはちバビロンの王リブラにてゼデキヤの諸子をかれの目の前に殺せりバビロンの王またユダのすべての牧伯等を殺せり
7 and the eyes of Zedekiah, did he put out, and bound him with fetters of bronze to bring him into Babylon.
王またゼデキヤの目を抉さしめ彼をバビロンに曳ゆかんとて銅索に縛げり
8 And the house of the king, and the houses of the people, did the Chaldeans burn with fire, and the walls of Jerusalem, brake they down;
またカルデヤ人火をもて王の室と民の家をやき且ヱルサレムの石垣を毀てり
9 and the remnant of the people who were left in the city, and the disheartened who fell away unto him, and the remnant of the people who were left, did Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners, take captive to Babylon.
かくて侍衞の長ネブザラダンは邑の中に餘れる民とおのれに降りし者およびその外の遺れる民をバビロンに移せり
10 But of the poor people, who had, nothing, did Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners, leave remaining in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and ploughed fields on the same day.
されど侍衞の長ネブザラダンはその時民の貧しくして所有なき者等をユダの地に遺し葡萄園と田地とをこれにあたへたり
11 Then Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave command, concerning Jeremiah, —through Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners saying:
爰にバビロンの王ネブカデネザル、ヱレミヤの事につきて侍衞の長ネブザラダンに命じていひけるは
12 Take him and, thine eyes, set thou upon him, and do not unto him any harmful thing, —but just as he shall speak unto thee, so, shalt thou do with him.
彼を取りて善く待へよ害をくはふる勿れ彼が汝に云ふごとくなすべしと
13 So Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners, sent, also Nebushazban, chief of the eunuchs, and Nergal-sharezer chief of the magi, and all the chiefs of the king of Babylon;
是をもて侍衞の長ネブザラダン寺人の長ネブシヤスバン博士の長ネルガルシヤレゼルおよびバビロンの王の牧伯等
14 yea they sent and fetched Jeremiah out of the guard-court, and delivered him unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, to bring him forth into a home, so he dwelt in the midst of the people.
人を遣してヱレミヤを獄の庭よりたづさへ來らしめシヤパンの子アヒカムの子なるゲダリヤに付して之を家につれゆかしむ斯彼民の中に居る
15 Now unto Jeremiah, had come the word of Yahweh, while he was yet shut up in the guard-court, saying:
ヱレミヤ獄の庭に禁錮られをる時ヱホバの言彼にのぞみていふ
16 Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, —Thus saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, Behold me! bringing about my words against this city, for, calamity—and not for blessing, —and they shall come to pass before thee, in that day.
汝ゆきてエテオピア人エベデメレクに告よ萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいふわれ我語しところの禍を此邑に降さん福はこれに降さじその日この事汝の目前にならん
17 But I will deliver thee in that day, Declareth Yahweh, —and thou shalt not be given up into the hand of the men from the face of whom, thou, mightest shrink with fear.
ヱホバいひたまふその日にはわれ汝を救はん汝はその畏るるところの人衆の手に付されじ
18 For I will, surely, deliver, thee, and by the sword, shalt thou not fall, —but thou shalt have thine own life as a spoil, Because thou hast trusted in me, Declareth Yahweh.
われ必ず汝を救はん汝は劍をもて殺されじ汝の生命は汝の掠取物とならん汝われに倚賴めばなりとヱホバいひたまふ
