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
And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead, in Jerusalem.
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 began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
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 put him down at Jerusalem, and imposed a fine upon the land 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
And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him 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 began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and he did evil in the sight of Jehovah 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
Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him with chains of brass to carry 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
And Nebuchadnezzar carried [part] of the vessels of the house of Jehovah to Babylon, and put them in his temple at 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
And the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. And Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
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 began to reign; and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem; and he did evil in the sight of Jehovah.
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
And at the turn of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent and had him brought to Babylon, with the precious vessels of the house of Jehovah; and he made Zedekiah his brother 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 began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
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 Jehovah his God; he humbled not himself before the prophet Jeremiah speaking from the mouth of Jehovah.
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
And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him take oath by God; and he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from returning to Jehovah 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
All the chiefs of the priests also, and the people, increased their transgressions, according to all the abominations of the nations; and they defiled the house of Jehovah which he had hallowed 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
And Jehovah the God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending; because he had compassion on his people 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 at the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the fury of Jehovah rose against his people, and there was no 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
And he brought up [against] them the king of the Chaldees, and slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and spared not young man nor maiden, old man nor him of hoary head: he gave [them] all into his hand.
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
And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, he brought all to Babylon.
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
And they burned the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burned all the palaces thereof with fire, and all the precious vessels thereof were given up to destruction.
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
And them that had escaped from the sword he carried away to Babylon; and they became servants to him and his sons, until the reign of the kingdom of Persia;
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
to fulfil the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its sabbaths. All the days of its desolation it kept sabbath, to fulfil seventy years.
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
And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he made a proclamation throughout his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,
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
Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth has Jehovah the God of the heavens given to me, and he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whosoever there is among you of all his people, Jehovah his God be with him, and let him go up.
