列王記Ⅱ 24
1 ヱホヤキムの代にバビロンの王ネブカデネザル上り來りければヱホヤキムこれに臣服して三年をへたりしが遂にひるがへりて之に叛けり
During Jehoiakim’s reign, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon invaded. So Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years, until he turned and rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar.
2 ヱホバ、カルデヤの軍兵スリアの軍兵モアブの軍兵アンモンの軍兵をしてヱホヤキムの所に攻きたらしめたまへり即ちユダを滅さんがためにこれをユダに遣はしたまふヱホバがその僕なる預言者等によりて言たまひし言語のごとし
And the LORD sent Chaldean, Aramean, Moabite, and Ammonite raiders against Jehoiakim in order to destroy Judah, according to the word that the LORD had spoken through His servants the prophets.
3 この事は全くヱホバの命によりてユダにのぞみし者にてユダをヱホバの目の前より拂ひ除かんがためなりき是はマナセがその凡てなす所において罪を犯したるにより
Surely this happened to Judah at the LORD’s command, to remove them from His presence because of the sins of Manasseh and all that he had done,
4 また無辜人の血をながし無辜人の血をヱルサレムに充したるによりてなりヱホバはその罪を赦すことをなしたまはざりき
and also for the innocent blood he had shed. For he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the LORD was unwilling to forgive.
5 ヱホヤキムのその餘の行爲とその凡て爲たる事はユダの王の歴代志の書にしるさるるにあらずや
As for the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
6 ヱホヤキムその先祖等とともに寝りその子ヱコニアこれに代りて王となれり
And Jehoiakim rested with his fathers, and his son Jehoiachin reigned in his place.
7 却説またエジプトの王は重てその國より出きたらざりき其はバビロンの王エジプトの河よりユフラテ河まで凡てエジプトの王に屬する者を悉く取たればなり
Now the king of Egypt did not march out of his land again, because the king of Babylon had taken all his territory, from the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates River.
8 ヱコニアは王となれる時十八歳にしてヱルサレムにて三月世を治めたりその母はヱルサレムのエルナタンの女にして名をネホシタと云ふ
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan; she was from Jerusalem.
9 ヱコニアはその父の凡てなしたるごとくにヱホバの目の前に惡をなせり
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as his father had done.
10 その頃バビロンの王ネブカデネザルの臣ヱルサレムに攻のぼりて邑を圍めり
At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched up to Jerusalem, and the city came under siege.
11 即ちバビロンの王ネブカデネザル邑に攻來りてその臣にこれを攻惱さしめたれば
And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city while his servants were besieging it.
12 ユダの王ヱコニアその母その臣その牧伯等およびその侍從等とともに出てバビロンの王に降れりバビロンの王すなはち彼を執ふ是はその代の八年にあたれり
Jehoiachin king of Judah, his mother, his servants, his commanders, and his officials all surrendered to the king of Babylon. So in the eighth year of his reign, the king of Babylon took him captive.
13 而して彼ヱホバの家の諸の寶物および王の家の寶物を其處より携へ去りイスラルの王ソロモンがヱホバの宮に造りたる諸の金の器を切はがせりヱホバの言たまひしごとし
As the LORD had declared, Nebuchadnezzar also carried off all the treasures from the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he cut into pieces all the gold articles that Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD.
14 彼またヱルサレムの一切の民および一切の牧伯等と一切の大なる能力ある者ならびに工匠と鍛冶とを一萬人擄へゆけり遺れる者は國の民の賤き者のみなりき
He carried into exile all Jerusalem—all the commanders and mighty men of valor, all the craftsmen and metalsmiths—ten thousand captives in all. Only the poorest people of the land remained.
15 彼すなはちヱコニアをバビロンに擄へゆきまた王の母王の妻等および侍從と國の中の能力ある者をもエルサレムよりバビロンに擄へうつせり
Nebuchadnezzar carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, as well as the king’s mother, his wives, his officials, and the leading men of the land. He took them into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.
16 凡て能力ある者七千人工匠と鍛冶一千人ならびに強壯して善戰ふ者是等をバビロンの王擄へてバビロンにうつせり
The king of Babylon also brought into exile to Babylon all seven thousand men of valor and a thousand craftsmen and metalsmiths—all strong and fit for battle.
17 而してバビロンの王またヱコニアの父の兄弟マツタニヤを王となしてヱコニアに代へ其が名をゼデキヤと改めたり
Then the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s uncle, king in his place and changed his name to Zedekiah.
18 ゼデキヤは二十一歳にして王となりヱルサレムにて十一年世を治めたりその母はリブナのヱレミヤの女にして名をハムタルと曰ふ
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah.
19 ゼデキヤはエホヤキムが凡てなしたるごとくにヱホバの目の前に惡をなせり
And Zedekiah did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done.
20 ヱルサレムとユダに斯る事ありしはヱホバの震怒による者にしてヱホバつひにその人々を自己の前よりはらひ棄たまへり偖またゼデキヤはバビロンの王に叛けり
For because of the anger of the LORD, all this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until He finally banished them from His presence. And Zedekiah also rebelled against the king of Babylon.
