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
Now in the seventh month, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal offspring and one of the chief officers of the king, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they ate 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 Ishmael the son of Nethaniah arose, and the ten men who were with him, and struck Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword and killed him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over 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
Ishmael also killed all the Jews who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldean men of war who were 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
The second day after he had killed Gedaliah, and no man knew 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
men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even eighty men, having their beards shaved and their clothes torn, and having cut themselves, with meal offerings and frankincense in their hand, to bring them to the LORD’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
Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went, and as he met them, he said to them, “Come to Gedaliah the 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 was so, when they came into the middle of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah killed them, and cast them into the middle of the 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 ten men were found among those who said to Ishmael, “Don’t kill us; for we have stores hidden in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey.” So he stopped, and didn’t kill them among their brothers.
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 in which Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had killed, by the side of Gedaliah (this was that which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel), Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with those who were killed.
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 carried away captive all of the people who were left in Mizpah, even the king’s daughters, and all the people who remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the children 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 when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the 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
then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the 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
Now when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, then 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 who Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah turned about and came back, and went to Johanan the 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 the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the children 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
Then Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him took all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after he had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam—the men of war, with the women, the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back 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
They departed and lived in Geruth Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go 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 Chaldeans; for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had killed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor over the land.
