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
Twenty-one years old, was Zedekiah when he began to reign, and eleven years, reigned he, 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 that which was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —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 it was, because the anger of Yahweh, had come against Jerusalem and Judah until he had cast them out from his presence, that 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 force, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it, —and he built against it a siege-wall 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 came into the 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
In the fourth month on the ninth of the month, when the famine had become severe in the city, —and there had come to be 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
then was the city broken up, and all the men of war, beginning to flee went forth out of the city by night, by way of the gate between the two walls which was by the garden of the king the Chaldeans being near the city round about), —and they went the way towards the Waste 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 force of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and overtook Zedekiah, in the Waste Plains of Jericho, —and, all his force, 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
So they seized the king, and brought him up, unto the king of Babylon at Riblah, in the land of Hamath, —and he pronounced upon him sentences of judgment.
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 slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, —moreover also all the princes of Judah, slew he 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 the eyes of Zedekiah, put he out, —and bound him with fetters of bronze and the king of Babylon took him to Babylon, and put him in prison—until 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, the same, was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, chief of the royal executioners, —who stood before the king of Babylon into, 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 Yahweh and the house of the king, —yea all the houses of Jerusalem even every great man’s house, burned he 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 walls of Jerusalem round about, did all the force of the Chaldeans who were with the chief of the royal executioners, break down.
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 some of the poor of the people and the residue of the people who were left in the city, and the disheartened who had fallen away unto the king of Babylon and the residue of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners carry away captive.
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, others of the poor of the land, did Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners leave, 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 pillars of bronze that pertained to the house of Yahweh and the stands and the sea of bronze which was in the house of Yahweh, did the Chaldeans, break in pieces, —and they carried away all the bronze of them 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
and the caldrons and the shovels and the snuffers and the dashing bowls, and the spoons even all the utensils of bronze wherewith ministration used to be made did they take 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 basins and the censers and the dashing bowls and the caldrons and the lamps and the spoons and the cups, which were of gold in gold, and which were of silver in silver, did the chief of the royal executioners, take 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
As for the two pillars the one sea, and the twelve oxen of bronze which were under the stands which King Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh, without weight was the bronze of all these things.
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
Now as for the pillars, eighteen cubits, was the height of each pillar, and, a line of twelve cubits, compassed it about, —and the thickness thereof was four fingers’ breadth—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 there was, a capital, upon it, of bronze, and the height of each capital, was five cubits, with lattice-work and pomegranates upon the capital round about—the whole was of bronze, —and like these, were 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 the pomegranates were ninety-six on a side, —all the pomegranates were a hundred upon the lattice-work 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 chief of the royal executioners, took away, Seraiah the first priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, —and the three keepers of the entrance-hall;
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, took he one eunuch who was in charge over the men of war and seven men of them who used to watch the face of the king, who were found in the city, and the scribe of the prince of the host, who used to muster the people of the land, —and sixty men of the people of the land, who 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 when Nebuzaradan chief the royal executioners, had taken them, and brought them unto 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
then did the king of Babylon smite them and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath, —thus carried he Judah captive away from off their own soil.
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—of them of Judah, three thousand and twenty-three;
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—out of Jerusalem, eight hundred and thirty-two souls;
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 three-and-twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzaradan, chief of the royal executioners took away captive, of them of Judah, seven hundred and forty-five souls: All, the souls, were four thousand and 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 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 spake with him comfortable words, —and set his throne above the throne of the 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 he changed his prison garments, —and used to eat bread before his face 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 from the king of Babylon the portion of the day upon its own day, until the day of his death, —all the days of his life.
