< エレミヤ書 41 >
1 七月ごろ王の血統なるエリシヤマの子ネタニヤの子イシマエル王の十人の牧伯等とともにミヅパにゆきてアヒカムの子ゲダリヤにいたりミヅパにて偕に食をなせしが
But in the seuenth moneth came Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah, the sonne of Elishama of the seede royall, and the princes of the King, and tenne men with him, vnto Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam to Mizpah, and there they did eate bread together in Mizpah.
2 ネタニヤの子イシマエルおよび偕にをりし十人の者起上りバビロンの王がこの地の有司となせしシヤパンの子アヒカムの子なるゲダリヤを刀にて殺せり
Then arose Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah with these tenne men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan with the sword, and slewe him, whom the King of Babel had made gouernour ouer the lande.
3 イシマエルまたミヅパにゲダリヤと偕にをりし諸のユダヤ人と彼處にをりしカルデヤ人の兵卒を殺したり
Ishmael also slewe all the Iewes that were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and all the Caldeans that were found there, and the men of warre.
4 彼がゲダリヤを殺してより二日の後いまだ誰も之を知ざりし時
Now the second day that he had slaine Gedaliah, and no man knewe it,
5 ある人八十人その鬚を薙り衣を裂き身に傷つけ手に素祭の物と香を携へてシケム、シロ、サマリヤよりきたりてヱホバの室にいたらんとせしかば
There came men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, euen fourescore men, hauing their beardes shauen, and their clothes rent and cut, with offerings and incense in their hands to offer in the house of the Lord.
6 ネタニヤの子イシマエル、ミヅパよりいでて哭きつつ行て彼らを迎へ彼等に逢てアヒカムの子ゲダリヤの許に來れといへり
And Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meete them, weeping as he went: and when he met them, he said vnto them, Come to Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam.
7 而して彼ら邑の中に入しときネタニヤの子イシマエル己と偕にある人々とともに彼らを殺してその屍を阱に投いれたり
And when they came into the middes of the citie, Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah slewe them, and cast them into the middes of the pit, he and the men that were with him.
8 但しその中の十人イシマエルにむかひ我らは田地に小麥 麰麥油および蜜を藏し有り我らをころすなかれと言たれば彼らをその兄弟と偕に殺さずして已ぬ
But tenne men were founde among them, that saide vnto Ishmael, Slay vs not: for we haue treasures in the fielde, of wheate, and of barley, and of oyle, and of honie: so he stayed, and slew them not among their brethren.
9 イシマエルがゲダリヤの名をもて殺せし人の屍を投入れし阱はアサ王がイスラエルの王バアシヤを怖れて鑿し阱なりネタニヤの子イシマエルその殺せし人々を之に充せり
Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast the dead bodies of the men (whom he had slayne because of Gedaliah) is it, which Asa the King had made because of Basha King of Israel, and Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slaine.
10 イシマエルはミヅパに遺りをる諸の民即ち王の諸女と侍衞の長ネブザラダンがアヒカムの子ゲダリヤに交付しところのミヅパに遺れる諸の民とを擄にせりネタニヤの子イシマエルすなはち彼らを擄にしアンモン人に往んとて去れり
Then Ishmael caryed away captiue all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, euen the Kings daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-adan the chiefe steward had committed to Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam, and Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah caried them away captiue, and departed to goe ouer to the Ammonites.
11 カレヤの子ヨハナンおよび彼と偕に在る軍勢の長たちネタニヤの子イシマエルの爲し諸の惡事を聞ければ
But when Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the captaines of the hoste that were with him, heard of all the euill that Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah had done,
12 その衆卒を率てネタニヤの子イシマエルと戰はんとて出でギベオンの池の旁にて彼に遇ふ
Then they all tooke their men, and went to fight with Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah, and founde him by ye great waters that are in Gibeon.
13 イシマエルと偕に在る人々はカレヤの子ヨハナンおよび彼とともに在る軍勢の長たちを見て欣べり
Nowe when all the people whom Ishmael caryed away captiue, sawe Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the captaines of the hoste, that were with him, they were glad.
14 是をもてイシマエルがミヅパより擄へきたりし所の人々身をめぐらしてカレヤの子ヨハナンの許にゆけり
So all the people, that Ishmael had caryed away captiue from Mizpah, returned and came againe, and went vnto Iohanan the sonne of Kareah.
15 ネタニヤの子イシマエルは八人の者と偕にヨハナンを避け逃てアンモン人に往り
But Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah, escaped from Iohanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites.
16 カレヤの子ヨハナンおよび彼とともにある軍勢の長等はネタニヤの子イシマエルがアヒカムの子ゲダリヤを殺してミヅパより擄へゆけるところの彼遺れる民すなはち兵卒婦人兒女寺人等を其手より取りかへして之をギベオンより携かへりしが
Then tooke Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the captaines of the hoste that were with him, all the remnant of the people, whom Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah had caried away captiue from Mizpah, (after that he had slaine Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam) euen the strong men of warre, and the women, and the children, and the eunuches, whom hee had brought againe from Gibeon:
17 進てエジプトにいたらんとてベツレヘムの近傍にあるキムハムの住處に往て留れり
And they departed and dwelt in Geruth Chimham, which is by Beth-lehem, to goe and to enter into Egypt,
18 こはネタニヤの子イシマエルがバビロンの王の此地の有司となしたるアヒカムの子ゲダリヤを殺せしによりカルデヤ人を懼たればなり
Because of the Caldeans: for they feared them, because Ishmael ye sonne of Nethaniah had slaine Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam, whom the King of Babel made gouernour in the land.
