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
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 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, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city —
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
that all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, even Nergal-sarezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim Rab-saris, Nergal-sarezer Rab-mag, with all the residue 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, that when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate betwixt the two walls; and he went out the way of the Arabah.
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
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he gave 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
Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes; also the king of Babylon slew 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
Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him in fetters, 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 house 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
Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, the deserters also, that fell away to him, with the rest of the people that remained.
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 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, that had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields in that day.
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
Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the 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 look well to 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 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushazban Rab-saris, and Nergal-sarezer Rab-mag, and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon;
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
they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home; so 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
Now the word of the LORD 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 the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring My words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished before thee 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
But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the LORD; 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 surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee; because thou hast put thy trust in Me, saith the LORD.'
