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 began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of 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 he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that 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 the anger of Jehovah was against Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, Zedekiah 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

And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, [that] Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem; and they encamped against it, and built turrets against it round about.

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 besieged until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

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

In the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.

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

And the city was broken into: and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden (now the Chaldeans were near the city round about); and they went the way toward the plain.

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

And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered 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

And they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon, unto Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he pronounced judgment upon him.

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

And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes; and he slaughtered also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

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

And he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with chains of brass; and the king of Babylon carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.

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

And in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, which was in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzar-adan, captain of the body-guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, came unto 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

and he burned the house of Jehovah, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem; and every great [man's] house he burned with fire.

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 all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the body-guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.

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

And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive of the poorest sort of the people, and the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.

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 Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard left of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen.

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

And the brazen pillars that were in the house of Jehovah, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of Jehovah, the Chaldeans broke up, and carried all the brass thereof 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

The pots also, and the shovels, and the knives, and the bowls, and the cups, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, they took away.

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

And the basons and the censers, and the bowls, and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the cups, and the goblets, that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, the captain of the body-guard took away.

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

The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve brazen oxen that formed the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah: for the brass of all these vessels there was no weight.

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

And as to the pillars: the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a line of twelve cubits encompassed it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.

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

And the capital upon it was brass, and the height of the one capital [was] five cubits; and the network and the pomegranates, upon the capital round about, all of brass; and similarly for the second pillar, and the pomegranates.

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

And there were ninety-six pomegranates on the [four] sides; all the pomegranates upon the network were a hundred round about.

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

And the captain of the body-guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, 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

And out of the city he took a eunuch that was set over the men of war, and seven men of them that were in the king's presence, who were found in the city, and the scribe of the captain of the host, who enrolled the people of the land. And sixty men of the people of the land that were found in the midst of 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

And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to 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

and the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his 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

This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand and twenty-three 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 the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar [he carried away captive] from Jerusalem eight hundred and thirty-two persons;

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 the twenty-third year of Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred and forty-five persons: all the persons were four thousand six hundred.

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

And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth of the month, [that] Evil-Merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of 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 unto him, and set his seat above the seat of the kings that 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

And he changed his prison garments; and he ate bread before him continually all the days 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 his allowance was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
