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. He reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the 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
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, 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 through the LORD’s anger this happened in 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
In the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts 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
So the city was besieged to 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, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was severe in the city, so that 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
Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went 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 against the city all around. The men of war went towards 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 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
Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgement on 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 killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. He also killed 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
He put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried 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
Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, came 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
He burnt the LORD’s house, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, he burnt 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
All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.
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 the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest of the people, and the rest of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who defected 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 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vineyard keepers and farmers.
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
The Chaldeans broke the pillars of bronze that were in the LORD’s house and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the LORD’s house in pieces, and carried all of their 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, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered.
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 took away the cups, the fire pans, the basins, the pots, the lamp stands, the spoons, and the bowls; that which was of gold, as gold, and that which was of silver, as 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
They took the two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the bases, which King Solomon had made for the LORD’s house. The bronze of all these vessels was without 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
As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits encircled it; and its thickness 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
A capital of bronze was on it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of bronze. The second pillar also had the same, with 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
There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were one hundred on the network all around.
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 took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold,
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 an officer who was set over the men of war; and seven men of those who saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the middle 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
Nebuzaradan the captain of the 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
The king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So 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 number of the people whom Nebuchadnezzar 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 Nebuchadnezzar, he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred and thirty-two persons;

in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred and forty-five people. All the people numbered 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
In the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the twenty-fifth day of the month, Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of 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
He spoke kindly to him, 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
and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin 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
For his allowance, there 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.
