< エレミヤ書 39 >

1 ユダの王ゼデキヤの九年十月バビロンの王ネブカデネザルその全軍をひきゐヱルサレムにきたりて之を攻圍みけるが
And it came to pass when Jerusalem was taken, in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
2 ゼデキヤの十一年四月九日にいたりて城邑破れたれば
In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, the city was broken into;
3 バビロンの王の牧伯等即ちネルガルシヤレゼル、サムガルネボ 寺人の長サルセキム 博士の長ネルガルシヤレゼルおよびバビロンの王のその外の牧伯等皆ともに入て中の門に坐せり
and all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate: Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebu, Sarsechim, chief chamberlain, Nergal-sharezer, chief magian, and all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.
4 ユダの王ゼデキヤおよび兵卒ども之を見て逃げ夜の中に王の園の途より兩の石垣の間の門より邑をいでてアラバの途にゆきしが
And it came to pass when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, that they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate between the two walls; and he went out the way of the plain.
5 カルデヤ人の軍勢これを追ひヱリコの平地にてゼデキヤにおひつき之を執へてハマテの地リブラにをるバビロンの王ネブカデネザルの許に曳ゆきければ王かしこにて彼の罪をさだめたり
And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and they took him, and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, unto Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgment upon him.
6 すなはちバビロンの王リブラにてゼデキヤの諸子をかれの目の前に殺せりバビロンの王またユダのすべての牧伯等を殺せり
And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes, and the king of Babylon slaughtered all the nobles of Judah;
7 王またゼデキヤの目を抉さしめ彼をバビロンに曳ゆかんとて銅索に縛げり
and he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with chains of brass, to carry him to Babylon.
8 またカルデヤ人火をもて王の室と民の家をやき且ヱルサレムの石垣を毀てり
And the Chaldeans burned the king's house and the houses of the people with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
9 かくて侍衞の長ネブザラダンは邑の中に餘れる民とおのれに降りし者およびその外の遺れる民をバビロンに移せり
And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive into Babylon the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had deserted to him, with the rest of the people that were left.
10 されど侍衞の長ネブザラダンはその時民の貧しくして所有なき者等をユダの地に遺し葡萄園と田地とをこれにあたへたり
But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard left [certain] of the people, the poor who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
11 爰にバビロンの王ネブカデネザル、ヱレミヤの事につきて侍衞の長ネブザラダンに命じていひけるは
And Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had given charge concerning Jeremiah by Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard, saying,
12 彼を取りて善く待へよ害をくはふる勿れ彼が汝に云ふごとくなすべしと
Take him, and keep an eye upon him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.
13 是をもて侍衞の長ネブザラダン寺人の長ネブシヤスバン博士の長ネルガルシヤレゼルおよびバビロンの王の牧伯等
So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard sent, and Nebushazban, chief chamberlain, and Nergal-sharezer, chief magian, and all the king of Babylon's princes,
14 人を遣してヱレミヤを獄の庭よりたづさへ來らしめシヤパンの子アヒカムの子なるゲダリヤに付して之を家につれゆかしむ斯彼民の中に居る
even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should conduct him away home. And he dwelt among the people.
15 ヱレミヤ獄の庭に禁錮られをる時ヱホバの言彼にのぞみていふ
And the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
16 汝ゆきてエテオピア人エベデメレクに告よ萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいふわれ我語しところの禍を此邑に降さん福はこれに降さじその日この事汝の目前にならん
Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good, and they shall come to pass before thy face in that day.
17 ヱホバいひたまふその日にはわれ汝を救はん汝はその畏るるところの人衆の手に付されじ
And I will deliver thee in that day, saith Jehovah; and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid;
18 われ必ず汝を救はん汝は劍をもて殺されじ汝の生命は汝の掠取物とならん汝われに倚賴めばなりとヱホバいひたまふ
for I will certainly save thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thou shalt have thy life for a prey; for thou hast put thy confidence in me, saith Jehovah.
