列王記Ⅱ 25
1 茲にゼデキヤの代の九年の十月十日にバビロンの王ネブカデネザルその諸軍勢を率てヱルサレムに攻きたりこれにむかひて陣を張り周圍に雲梯を建てこれを攻たり
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it. And they built forts against it round about.
2 かくこの邑攻かこまれてゼデキヤ王の十一年にまでおよびしが
So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
3 その四月九日にいたりて城邑の中饑ること甚だしくなりその地の民食物を得ざりき
On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 是をもて城邑つひに打破られければ兵卒はみな王の園の邊なる二箇の石垣の間の途より夜の中に逃いで皆平地の途にしたがひておちゆけり時にカルデア人は城邑を圍みをる
Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden (now the Chaldeans were against the city round about), and the king went by the way of the Arabah.
5 茲にカルデア人の軍勢王を追ゆきヱリコの平地にてこれに追つきけるにその軍勢みな彼を離れて散しかば
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho. And all his army was scattered from him.
6 カルデア人王を執へてこれをリブラにをるバビロンの王の許に曳ゆきてその罪をさだめ
Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah. And they gave judgment upon him.
7 ゼデキヤの子等をゼデキヤの目の前に殺しゼデキヤの目を抉しこれを鋼索につなぎてバビロンにたづさへゆけり
And they killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
8 バビロンの王ネブカデネザルの代の十九年の五月七日にバビロンの王の臣侍衛の長ネブザラダン、ヱルサレムにきたり
Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem.
9 ヱホバの室と王の室を燒き火をもてヱルサレムのすべての室と一切の大なる室を燒り
And he burnt the house of Jehovah, and the king's house. And all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, he burnt with fire.
10 また侍衛の長とともにありしカルデア人の軍勢ヱルサレムの四周の石垣を毀てり
And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
11 侍衛の長ネブザラダンすなはち邑に遺されし殘餘の民およびバビロンの王に降りし降人と群衆の殘餘者を擄へうつせり
And the remnant of the people that were left in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the multitude, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive.
12 但し侍衛の長その地の或貧者をのこして葡萄をつくる者となし農夫となせり
But the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
13 カルデア人またヱホバの家の銅の柱と洗盤の臺と銅の海をくだきてその銅をバビロンに運び
And the pillars of brass that were in the house of Jehovah, and the bases and the brazen sea that were in the house of Jehovah, the Chaldeans broke in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
14 また鍋と火鏟と燈剪と匙および凡て役事に用ふる銅の器を取り
And they took away the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered.
15 侍衛の長また火盤と鉢など金銀にて作れる物を取り
And the captain of the guard took away the firepans, and the basins, that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver.
16 またソロモンがヱホバの室に造しところの二の柱と一の海と臺とを取り此もろもろの銅の重は量るべからず
The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah, the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
17 この柱は高さ十八キユビトにしてその上に銅の頂ありその頂の高は三キユビトその頂の四周に網子と石榴とありて皆銅なり他の柱とその網子もこれに同じ
The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of brass was upon it. And the height of the capital was three cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of brass. And the second pillar had like these with network.
18 侍衛の長は祭司の長セラヤと第二の祭司ゼパニヤと三人の門守を執へ
And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold.
19 また兵卒を督どる一人の寺人と王の前にはべる者の中邑にて遇しところの者五人とその地の民を募る軍勢の長なる書記官と城邑の中にて遇しところの六十人の者を邑より擄へされり
And he took an officer out of the city who was set over the men of war; and five men of those who saw the king's face, who were found in the city; and the scribe, the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land who were found in the city.
20 侍衛の長ネブザラダンこれらを執へてリブラにをるバビロンの王の許にいたりければ
And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
21 バビロンの王ハマテの地のリブラにてこれらを撃殺せりかくユダはおのれの地よりとらへ移されたり
And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
22 かくてバビロンの王ネブカデネザルは自己が遺してユダの地に止らしめし民の上にシヤパンの子なるアヒカムの子ゲダリヤをたててこれをその督者となせり
And as for the people who were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor over them.
23 茲に軍勢の長等およびこれに屬する人々みなバビロンの王がゲダリヤを督者となせしことを聞しかばすなはちネタニヤの子イシマエル、カレヤの子ヨナハン、ネトバ人タンホメテの子セラヤおよび或マアカ人の子ヤザニヤならびに彼らに屬する人々ミヅパにきたりてゲダリヤの許にいたれり
Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
24 ゲダリヤすなはち彼等とかれらに屬する人々に誓ひてこれに言けるは汝等カルデア人の僕となることを恐るるなかれこの地に住てバビロンの王につかへなば汝等幸福ならんと
And Gedaliah swore to them and to their men, and said to them, Fear not because of the servants of the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
25 然るに七月に王の血統なるエリシヤマの子ネタニヤの子なるイシマエル十人の者とともに來りてゲダリヤを撃ころし又彼とともにミヅパにをりしユダヤ人とカルデア人を殺せり
But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal seed, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, so that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
26 是において大小の民および軍勢の長等みな起てエジプトにおもむけり是はカルデヤ人をおそれたればなり
And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose, and came to Egypt, for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
27 ユダの王ヱホヤキムがとらへ移れたる後三十七年の十二月二十七日バビロンの王エビルメロダクその代の一年にユダの王ヱホヤキムを獄より出してその首をあげしめ
And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison.
28 善言をもて彼をなぐさめその位をバビロンにともに居るところの王等の位よりも高くし
And he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,
29 その獄の衣服を易しめたりヱホヤキムは一生のあひだつねに王の前に食をなせり
and changed his prison garments. And Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life,
30 かれ一生のあひだたえず日々の分を王よりたまはりてその食物となせり
and for his allowance. There was a continual allowance given him from the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.
