歴代誌Ⅱ 36
1 是において國の民ヨシアの子ヱホアハズを取りヱルサレムにてその父にかはりて王とならしむ
Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah and made him king in Jerusalem in place of his father.
2 ヱホアハズは二十三歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて三月が間世を治めけるが
Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months.
3 エジプトの王ヱルサレムにて彼を廢し且銀百タラント金一タラントの罰金を國に課せり
And the king of Egypt dethroned him in Jerusalem and imposed on Judah a levy of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
4 而してエジプトの王ネコ彼の兄弟エリアキムをもてユダとヱルサレムの王となして之が名をヱホヤキムと改めその兄弟ヱホアハズを執へてエジプトに曳ゆけり
Then Neco king of Egypt made Eliakim brother of Jehoahaz king over Judah and Jerusalem, and he changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. But Neco took Eliakim’s brother Jehoahaz and carried him off to Egypt.
5 ヱホヤキムは二十五歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて十一年の間世を治めその神ヱホバの惡と視たまふことを爲り
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD his God.
6 彼の所にバビロンの王ネブカデネザル攻のぼりバビロンに曳ゆかんとて之を杻械に繋げり
Then Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jehoiakim and bound him with bronze shackles to take him to Babylon.
7 ネブカデネザルまたヱホバの家の器具をバビロンに携へゆきてバビロンにあるその宮にこれを蔵めたり
Nebuchadnezzar also took to Babylon some of the articles from the house of the LORD, and he put them in his temple in Babylon.
8 ヱホヤキムのその餘の行爲その行ひし憎むべき事等およびその心に企みし事などはイスラエルとユダの列王の書に記さる其子ヱホヤキンこれに代りて王となる
As for the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, the abominations he committed, and all that was found against him, they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. And his son Jehoiachin reigned in his place.
9 ヱホヤキンは八歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて三月と十日の間世を治めヱホバの惡と視たまふ事を爲けるが
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months and ten days. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD.
10 歳の歸るにおよびてネブカデネザル王人を遣はして彼とヱホバの室の貴き器皿とをバビロンに携へいたらしめ之が兄弟ゼデキヤをもてユダとヱルサレムの王となせり
In the spring, King Nebuchadnezzar summoned Jehoiachin and brought him to Babylon, along with the articles of value from the house of the LORD. And he made Jehoiachin’s relative Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 ゼデキヤは二十一歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて十一年の間世を治めたり
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years.
12 彼はその神ヱホバの惡と視たまふ事を爲しヱホバの言を傳ふる預言者ヱレミヤの前に身を卑くせざりき
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD his God and did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke for the LORD.
13 ネブカデネザル彼をして神を指て誓はしめたりしにまた之にも叛けり彼かくその項を強くしその心を剛愎にしてイスラエルの神ヱホバに立かへらざりき
He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God. But Zedekiah stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD, the God of Israel.
14 祭司の長等および民もまた凡て異邦人の中にある諸の憎むべき事に傚ひて太甚しく大に罪を犯しヱホバのヱルサレムに聖め置たまへるその室を汚せり
Furthermore, all the leaders of the priests and the people multiplied their unfaithful deeds, following all the abominations of the nations, and they defiled the house of the LORD, which He had consecrated in Jerusalem.
15 其先祖の神ヱホバその民とその住所とを恤むが故に頻りにその使者を遣はして之を諭したまひしに
Again and again the LORD, the God of their fathers, sent word to His people through His messengers because He had compassion on them and on His dwelling place.
16 彼ら神の使者等を嘲けり其御言を軽んじその預言者等を罵りたればヱホバの怒その民にむかひて起り遂に救ふべからざるに至れり
But they mocked the messengers of God, despising His words and scoffing at His prophets, until the wrath of the LORD against His people was stirred up beyond remedy.
17 即ちヱホバ、カルデヤ人の王を之に攻きたらせたまひければ彼その聖所の室にて劍をもて少者を殺し童男をも童女をも老人をも白髮の者をも憐まざりき皆ひとしく彼の手に付したまへり
So He brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans, who put their young men to the sword in the sanctuary, sparing neither young men nor young women, neither elderly nor infirm. God gave them all into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar,
18 神の室の諸の大小の器皿ヱホバの室の貨財王とその牧伯等の貨財など凡て之をバビロンに携へゆき
who carried off everything to Babylon—all the articles of the house of God, both large and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king and his officials.
19 神の室を焚きヱルサレムの石垣を崩しその中の宮殿を盡く火にて焚きその中の貴き器を盡く壞なへり
Then the Chaldeans set fire to the house of God and broke down the wall of Jerusalem. They burned down all the palaces and destroyed every article of value.
20 また劍をのがれし者等はバビロンに擄れゆきて彼處にて彼とその子等の臣僕となりペルシヤの國の興るまで斯てありき
Those who escaped the sword were carried by Nebuchadnezzar into exile in Babylon, and they became servants to him and his sons until the kingdom of Persia came to power.
21 是ヱレミヤの口によりて傳はりしヱホバの言の應ぜんがためなりき斯この地遂にその安息を享たり即ち是はその荒をる間安息して終に七十年滿ぬ
So the land enjoyed its Sabbath rest all the days of the desolation, until seventy years were completed, in fulfillment of the word of the LORD through Jeremiah.
22 ペルシヤ王クロスの元年に當りヱホバ曩にヱレミヤの口によりて傳へたまひしその聖言を成んとてペルシヤ王クロスの心を感動したまひければ王すなはち宣命をつたへ詔書を出して徧く國中に告示して云く
In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken through Jeremiah, the LORD stirred the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia to send a proclamation throughout his kingdom and to put it in writing as follows:
23 ペルシヤ王クロスかく言ふ天の神ヱホバ地上の諸國を我に賜へりその家をユダのエルサレムに建ることを我に命ず凡そ汝らの中もしその民たる者あらばその神ヱホバの助を得て上りゆけ
“This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, who has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, has appointed me to build a house for Him at Jerusalem in Judah. Whoever among you belongs to His people, may the LORD his God be with him, and may he go up.’”
