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 the reign of Jehoiakim, Nebuchadnezzar, kind of Babylon, invaded the country and Jehoiakim submitted to him. But after three years Jehoiakim 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
Then the Lord sent bands of raiders against Judah to destroy them. They came from Babylonia, Aram, Moab, and Ammon, just as the Lord had said 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
The Lord spoke against Judah to banish them from his presence because of all the sins that Manasseh had committed, and the innocent people he had killed,
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
filling Jerusalem with their blood. The Lord was not willing to forgive this.
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
The rest of what happened in Jehoiakim's reign, and all he did, are recorded in the Book of 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
Jehoiakim died, and his son Jehoiachin succeeded him as king.
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
The king of Egypt didn't leave his country again for the king of Babylon had taken all the territory that used to belong to him, from the Wadi of Egypt all the way 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 when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months. His mother was Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan. She came 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
Jehoiachin did what was evil in the Lord's sight, 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 officers of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon attacked Jerusalem and besieged it.
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
Then Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon came himself while his officers were besieging the city.
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 Israel, surrendered to the king of Babylon, along with his mother, his officers, his commanders, and his officials. It was in the eighth year of his reign that Nebuchadnezzar captured Jehoiachin.
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
Nebuchadnezzar took all the treasures from the Lord's Temple and the royal palace, and he cut up all the gold items that Solomon, king of Israel, had made for the Lord's Temple, as the Lord had said would happen.
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 deported all of Jerusalem, all the commanders and experienced soldiers, all the craftsmen and metalworkers, a total of ten thousand prisoners. Only the very poor people of the land were left.
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
He took Jehoiachin away into exile to Babylon, as well as the king's mother and the king's wives and his officials and the leading men of the land, he deported them all 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 deported to Babylon all seven thousand fighting men and one thousand craftsmen and metalworkers, who were all strong and ready 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
The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin's uncle, king instead of him, 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 when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah She came 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
He did evil in the Lord's sight, 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
All this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, because of the Lord's anger, until he eventually banished them from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
