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
In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him.
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
The LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldeans, bands of the Syrians, bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the LORD’s word which he spoke by 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 at the commandment of the LORD this came on Judah, to remove them out of his sight for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,
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 that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the LORD would not pardon.
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
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, aren’t they 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
So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son 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
The king of Egypt didn’t come out of his land any more; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates, all that belonged to the king of Egypt.
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 began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of 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
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that 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 came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
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
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
and Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon—he, his mother, his servants, his princes, and his officers; and the king of Babylon captured him in the eighth year of his reign.
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
He carried out from there all the treasures of the LORD’s house and the treasures of the king’s house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the LORD’s temple, as the LORD had said.
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 away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths. No one remained except the poorest people of the land.
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 carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, with the king’s mother, the king’s wives, his officers, and the chief men of the land. He carried them into captivity 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
All the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths one thousand, all of them strong and fit for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
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 father’s brother, 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 began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of 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 that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that 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 through the anger of the LORD, this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Then Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
