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 it happened that in the seventh month Ishmael son of Nethaniah son of Elishama, from the royal family, and some officers of the king, came—ten men were with him—to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, at Mizpah. They ate food together there 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
But Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him rose up and attacked Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, with the sword. Ishmael killed Gedaliah, whom the king of Babylon had put in charge of the land.
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
Then Ishmael killed all the Judeans who were with Gedaliah in Mizpah and the Chaldean fighting men found there.
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
Then it was the second day after the killing of Gedaliah, but no one knew.
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
Some men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria—eighty men who had shaved their beard, torn their clothes, and cut themselves—with food offerings and frankincense in their hands to go to Yahweh's house.
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
So Ishmael son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them as they went, walking and weeping. Then it happened that as he encountered them, he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah son 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
It came about that when they came into the city, Ishmael son of Nethaniah slaughtered them and threw them into a pit, he and the men who 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 there were ten men among them who said to Ishmael, “Do not kill us, for there are provisions of ours in a field: Wheat and barley, oil and honey.” So he did not kill them with their other companions.
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
The cistern where Ishmael threw all the dead bodies that he had killed, was a large cistern that King Asa dug to make a defense against King Baasha of Israel. Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled it in with the dead.
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
Next Ishmael captured all the other people who were in Mizpah, the king's daughters and all the people who were left in Mizpah whom Nebuzaradan the chief guard had assigned to Gedaliah son of Ahikam. So Ishmael son of Nethaniah captured them and went to cross over to the people of Ammon.
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 Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders with him heard of all the harm that Ishmael son 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
So they took all their men and went to fight against Ishmael son of Nethaniah. They found him at the great pool of 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
Then it happened that when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders who were with him, they were very happy.
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 whom Ishmael had captured at Mizpah turned around and went to Johanan son 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 son of Nethaniah fled with eight men from Johanan. He went to the people of Ammon.
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
Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders with him took from Mizpah all the people who had been rescued from Ishmael son of Nethaniah. This was after Ishmael had killed Gedaliah son of Ahikam. Johanan and his companions took the strong men, the fighting men, the women and children, and the eunuchs who had been rescued at 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
Then they went and stayed for a while in Geruth Kimham, which is near Bethlehem. They were going to go to 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 Chaldeans. They were afraid of them since Ishmael son of Nethaniah had killed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had put in charge of the land.
