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 when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah She came 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
He did evil in the Lord's sight, 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
All this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, because of the Lord's anger, until he eventually banished them 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
In the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jerusalem with his entire army. He set up camp around the city and built siege ramps against the walls.
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
The city remained under siege 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
By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so bad that the people had nothing left to eat.
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 wall was broken through, and all the soldiers ran away, escaping at night through the gate between the two walls by the king's garden, even though the Babylonians had the city surrounded. They went in the direction of 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 Babylonian army chased after the king and caught up with him on the plains of Jericho. His whole army had scattered and left 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
They captured the king and took him to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where he sentenced 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
The king of Babylon slaughtered Zedekiah's sons while he watched, and also killed the officials of Judah there at 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
Then he gouged out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him in bronze shackles. The king of Babylon took him to Babylon and imprisoned him there until the day he died.
