歴代誌Ⅱ 36

1 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

Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and they anointed him and made him king in his father's place in Jerusalem.

2 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

Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.

3 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

The king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

4 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

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.

5 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

Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God.

6 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

Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.

7 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

Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.

8 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

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.

9 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

Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.

10 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

At the return of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah his relative king over Judah and Jerusalem.

11 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

Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem:

12 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

and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God; he did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the LORD.

13 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

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 the LORD, the God of Israel.

14 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

Moreover all the chiefs of the cohanim, and the people, trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted the house of the LORD which he had made holy in Jerusalem.

15 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

The LORD, 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:

16 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

but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, until there was no remedy.

17 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

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 gray-headed: he gave them all into his hand.

18 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

All the vessels of God's house, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king, and of his officials, all these he brought to Babylon.

19 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

They burnt God's house, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels of it.

20 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

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:

21 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

to fulfill the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. As long as it lay desolate it kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.

22 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

Now in the first year of Koresh king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Koresh king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,

23 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

"Thus says Koresh king of Persia, 'The LORD, 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, the LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.'"
