2 Chronicles 36
1 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father’s place in Jerusalem.
是において國の民ヨシアの子ヱホアハズを取りヱルサレムにてその父にかはりて王とならしむ
2 Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
ヱホアハズは二十三歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて三月が間世を治めけるが
3 The king of Egypt removed him from office at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
エジプトの王ヱルサレムにて彼を廢し且銀百タラント金一タラントの罰金を國に課せり
4 The king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
而してエジプトの王ネコ彼の兄弟エリアキムをもてユダとヱルサレムの王となして之が名をヱホヤキムと改めその兄弟ヱホアハズを執へてエジプトに曳ゆけり
5 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did that which was evil in Yahweh his God’s sight.
ヱホヤキムは二十五歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて十一年の間世を治めその神ヱホバの惡と視たまふことを爲り
6 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him in fetters to carry him to Babylon.
彼の所にバビロンの王ネブカデネザル攻のぼりバビロンに曳ゆかんとて之を杻械に繋げり
7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried some of the vessels of Yahweh’s house to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
ネブカデネザルまたヱホバの家の器具をバビロンに携へゆきてバビロンにあるその宮にこれを蔵めたり
8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah; and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
ヱホヤキムのその餘の行爲その行ひし憎むべき事等およびその心に企みし事などはイスラエルとユダの列王の書に記さる其子ヱホヤキンこれに代りて王となる
9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight.
ヱホヤキンは八歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて三月と十日の間世を治めヱホバの惡と視たまふ事を爲けるが
10 At the return of the year, King Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon, with the valuable vessels of Yahweh’s house, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
歳の歸るにおよびてネブカデネザル王人を遣はして彼とヱホバの室の貴き器皿とをバビロンに携へいたらしめ之が兄弟ゼデキヤをもてユダとヱルサレムの王となせり
11 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
ゼデキヤは二十一歳の時位に即きヱルサレムにて十一年の間世を治めたり
12 He did that which was evil in Yahweh his God’s sight. He didn’t humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from Yahweh’s mouth.
彼はその神ヱホバの惡と視たまふ事を爲しヱホバの言を傳ふる預言者ヱレミヤの前に身を卑くせざりき
13 He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God; but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to Yahweh, the God of Israel.
ネブカデネザル彼をして神を指て誓はしめたりしにまた之にも叛けり彼かくその項を強くしその心を剛愎にしてイスラエルの神ヱホバに立かへらざりき
14 Moreover all the chiefs of the priests and the people trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted Yahweh’s house which he had made holy in Jerusalem.
祭司の長等および民もまた凡て異邦人の中にある諸の憎むべき事に傚ひて太甚しく大に罪を犯しヱホバのヱルサレムに聖め置たまへるその室を汚せり
15 Yahweh, the God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending, because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place;
其先祖の神ヱホバその民とその住所とを恤むが故に頻りにその使者を遣はして之を諭したまひしに
16 but they mocked the messengers of God, despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until Yahweh’s wrath arose against his people, until there was no remedy.
彼ら神の使者等を嘲けり其御言を軽んじその預言者等を罵りたればヱホバの怒その民にむかひて起り遂に救ふべからざるに至れり
17 Therefore he brought on them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or infirm. He gave them all into his hand.
即ちヱホバ、カルデヤ人の王を之に攻きたらせたまひければ彼その聖所の室にて劍をもて少者を殺し童男をも童女をも老人をも白髮の者をも憐まざりき皆ひとしく彼の手に付したまへり
18 All the vessels of God’s house, great and small, and the treasures of Yahweh’s house, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon.
神の室の諸の大小の器皿ヱホバの室の貨財王とその牧伯等の貨財など凡て之をバビロンに携へゆき
19 They burned God’s house, broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burned all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all of its valuable vessels.
神の室を焚きヱルサレムの石垣を崩しその中の宮殿を盡く火にて焚きその中の貴き器を盡く壞なへり
20 He carried those who had escaped from the sword away to Babylon, and they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia,
また劍をのがれし者等はバビロンに擄れゆきて彼處にて彼とその子等の臣僕となりペルシヤの國の興るまで斯てありき
21 to fulfill Yahweh’s word by Jeremiah’s mouth, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. As long as it lay desolate, it kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.
是ヱレミヤの口によりて傳はりしヱホバの言の應ぜんがためなりき斯この地遂にその安息を享たり即ち是はその荒をる間安息して終に七十年滿ぬ
22 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that Yahweh’s word by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Yahweh stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
ペルシヤ王クロスの元年に當りヱホバ曩にヱレミヤの口によりて傳へたまひしその聖言を成んとてペルシヤ王クロスの心を感動したまひければ王すなはち宣命をつたへ詔書を出して徧く國中に告示して云く
23 “Cyrus king of Persia says, ‘Yahweh, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, Yahweh his God be with him, and let him go up.’”
ペルシヤ王クロスかく言ふ天の神ヱホバ地上の諸國を我に賜へりその家をユダのエルサレムに建ることを我に命ず凡そ汝らの中もしその民たる者あらばその神ヱホバの助を得て上りゆけ
