エレミヤ書 52
1 ゼデキヤは位に即きしとき二十一歳なりしがヱルサレムに於て十一年世ををさめたりその母の名はハムタルといひてリブナのヱレミヤの女なり
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah.
2 ゼデキヤはヱホヤキムが凡てなしたる如くヱホバの目の前に惡をなせり
And Zedekiah did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done.
3 すなはちヱホバ、ヱルサレムとユダとを怒りて之をその前より棄てはなちたまふ／是に於てゼデキヤ、バビロンの王に叛けり
For because of the anger of the LORD, all this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until He finally banished them from His presence. And Zedekiah also rebelled against the king of Babylon.
4 ゼデキヤの世の九年十月十日にバビロンの王ネブカデネザルその軍勢をひきゐてヱルサレムに攻めきたり之に向ひて陣をはり四周に戌樓を建て之を攻めたり
So in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his entire army. They encamped outside the city and built a siege wall all around it.
5 かくこの邑攻圍まれてゼデキヤ王の十一年にまでおよびしが
And the city was kept under siege until King Zedekiah’s eleventh year.
6 その四月九日にいたりて城邑のうち饑ること甚だしくなり其地の民食物をえざりき
By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so severe that the people of the land had no food.
7 是をもて城邑つひに打破られたれば兵卒は皆逃て夜の中に王の園の邊なる二個の石垣の間の門より城邑をぬけいで平地の途に循ひておちゆけり時にカルデヤ人は城邑を圍みをる
Then the city was breached; and though the Chaldeans had surrounded the city, all the men of war fled the city by night by way of the gate between the two walls near the king’s garden. They headed toward the Arabah,
8 茲にカルデヤ人の軍勢王を追ひゆきヱリコの平地にてゼデキヤに追付けるにその軍勢みな彼を離れて散りしかば
but the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was separated from him.
9 カルデヤ人王を執へて之をハマテの地のリブラにをるバビロンの王の所に曳きゆきければ王彼の罪をさだめたり
The Chaldeans seized the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced judgment on Zedekiah.
10 バビロンの王すなはちゼデキヤの子等をその目の前に殺さしめユダの牧伯等を悉くリブラに殺さしめ
There at Riblah the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also killed all the officials of Judah.
11 またゼデキヤの目を抉さしめたり斯てバビロンの王かれを銅索に繋ぎてバビロンに携へゆきその死る日まで獄に置けり
Then he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon, where he kept him in custody until his dying day.
12 バビロン王ネブカデネザルの世の十九年の五月十日バビロンの王の前につかふる侍衞の長ネブザラダン、ヱルサレムにきたり
On the tenth day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign over Babylon, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.
13 ヱホバの室と王の室を燒き火をもてヱルサレムのすべての室と大なる諸の室を燒けり
He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem—every significant building.
14 また侍衞の長と偕にありしカルデヤ人の軍勢ヱルサレムの四周の石垣を悉く毀てり
And the whole army of the Chaldeans under the captain of the guard broke down all the walls around Jerusalem.
15 侍衞の長ネブザラダンすなはち民のうちの貧乏者城邑の中に餘れる者およびバビロンの王に降りし人と民の餘れる者を擄へ移せり
Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried into exile some of the poorest people and those who remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to the king of Babylon and the rest of the craftsmen.
16 但し侍衞の長ネブザラダンその地のある貧者を遺して葡萄を耕る者となし農夫となせり
But Nebuzaradan captain of the guard left behind some of the poorest of the land to tend the vineyards and fields.
17 カルデヤ人またヱホバの室の銅の柱と洗盥の臺と銅の海を碎きてその銅を悉くバビロンに運び
Moreover, the Chaldeans broke up the bronze pillars and stands and the bronze Sea in the house of the LORD, and they carried all the bronze to Babylon.
18 また鍋と火鑪と燭剪と鉢と匙およびすべて用ふるところの銅器を取れり
They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes, and all the articles of bronze used in the temple service.
19 侍衞の長もまた洗盥と火盤と鉢と鍋と燭臺と匙と斝など凡て金銀にて作れる者を取り
The captain of the guard also took away the basins, censers, sprinkling bowls, pots, lampstands, pans, and drink offering bowls—anything made of pure gold or fine silver.
20 またソロモン王がヱホバの室に造りしところの二つの柱と一の海と臺の下なる十二の銅の牛を取れりこのもろもろの銅の重は稱る可らず
As for the two pillars, the Sea, the twelve bronze bulls under it, and the movable stands that King Solomon had made for the house of the LORD, the weight of the bronze from all these articles was beyond measure.
21 この柱は高さ十八キユビトなり又紐をもてその周圍を測るに十二キユビトあり指四本の厚にして空なり
Each pillar was eighteen cubits tall and twelve cubits in circumference; each was hollow, four fingers thick.
22 その上に銅の頂ありその頂の高さは五キユビトその周圍は銅の網子と石榴にて飾れり他の柱とその石榴も之におなじ
The bronze capital atop one pillar was five cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates all around. The second pillar, with its pomegranates, was similar.
23 その四方に九十六の石榴あり網子の上なるすべての石榴の數は百なり
Each capital had ninety-six pomegranates on the sides, and a total of a hundred pomegranates were above the surrounding network.
24 侍衞の長は祭司の長セラヤと第二の祭司ゼパニヤと三人の門守を執へ
The captain of the guard also took away Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest of second rank, and the three doorkeepers.
25 また兵卒を督る一人の寺人と王の前にはべるもののうち城邑にて遇しところの者七人とその地の民を募る軍勢の長なる書記と城邑の中にて遇しところの六十人の者を邑よりとらへされり
Of those still in the city, he took a court official who had been appointed over the men of war, as well as seven trusted royal advisers. He also took the scribe of the captain of the army, who had enlisted the people of the land, and sixty men who were found in the city.
26 侍衞の長ネブザラダンこれらを執へてリブラに居るバビロンの王の許にいたれり
Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
27 バビロンの王ハマテの地のリブラにこれを撃ち殺せりかくユダはおのれの地よりとらへ移されたり
There at Riblah in the land of Hamath, the king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death. So Judah was taken into exile, away from its own land.
28 ネブカデネザルがとらへ移せし民は左の如し第七年にユダ人三千二十三人
These are the people Nebuchadnezzar carried away: in the seventh year, 3,023 Jews;
29 またネブカデネザルその十八年にヱルサレムより八百三十二人をとらへ移せり
in Nebuchadnezzar’s eighteenth year, 832 people from Jerusalem;
30 ネブカデネザルの二十三年に侍衞の長ネブザラダン、ユダ人七百四十五人をとらへ移したり其總ての數は四千六百人なりき
in Nebuchadnezzar’s twenty-third year, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried away 745 Jews. So in all, 4,600 people were taken away.
31 ユダの王ヱホヤキンがとらへ移されたる後三十七年の十二月二十五日バビロンの王エビルメロダクその治世の一年にユダの王ヱホヤキンを獄よりいだしてその首をあげしめ
On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the first year of the reign of Evil-merodach king of Babylon, he pardoned Jehoiachin king of Judah and released him from prison.
32 善言をもて彼を慰めその位をバビロンに偕に居るところの王等の位よりもたかくし
And he spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
33 其獄の衣服を易へしむヱホヤキンは一生の間つねに王の前に食せり
So Jehoiachin changed out of his prison clothes, and he dined regularly at the king’s table for the rest of his life.
34 かれ其死る日まで一生の間たえず日々の分をバビロンの王よりたまはりて其食物となせり
And the king of Babylon provided Jehoiachin a daily portion for the rest of his life, until the day of his death.
