エレミヤ書 39
1 ユダの王ゼデキヤの九年十月バビロンの王ネブカデネザルその全軍をひきゐヱルサレムにきたりて之を攻圍みけるが
In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem, and besieged it.
2 ゼデキヤの十一年四月九日にいたりて城邑破れたれば
In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city.
3 バビロンの王の牧伯等即ちネルガルシヤレゼル、サムガルネボ 寺人の長サルセキム 博士の長ネルガルシヤレゼルおよびバビロンの王のその外の牧伯等皆ともに入て中の門に坐せり
All the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate: Nergal Sharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim the Rabsaris, Nergal Sharezer the Rabmag, with all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.
4 ユダの王ゼデキヤおよび兵卒ども之を見て逃げ夜の中に王の園の途より兩の石垣の間の門より邑をいでてアラバの途にゆきしが
When Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled and went out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, through the gate between the two walls; and he went out towards the Arabah.
5 カルデヤ人の軍勢これを追ひヱリコの平地にてゼデキヤにおひつき之を執へてハマテの地リブラにをるバビロンの王ネブカデネザルの許に曳ゆきければ王かしこにて彼の罪をさだめたり
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. When they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgement on him.
6 すなはちバビロンの王リブラにてゼデキヤの諸子をかれの目の前に殺せりバビロンの王またユダのすべての牧伯等を殺せり
Then the king of Babylon killed Zedekiah’s sons in Riblah before his eyes. The king of Babylon also killed all the nobles of Judah.
7 王またゼデキヤの目を抉さしめ彼をバビロンに曳ゆかんとて銅索に縛げり
Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
8 またカルデヤ人火をもて王の室と民の家をやき且ヱルサレムの石垣を毀てり
The Chaldeans burnt the king’s house and the people’s houses with fire and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
9 かくて侍衞の長ネブザラダンは邑の中に餘れる民とおのれに降りし者およびその外の遺れる民をバビロンに移せり
Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the rest of the people who remained in the city, the deserters also who fell away to him, and the rest of the people who remained.
10 されど侍衞の長ネブザラダンはその時民の貧しくして所有なき者等をユダの地に遺し葡萄園と田地とをこれにあたへたり
But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
11 爰にバビロンの王ネブカデネザル、ヱレミヤの事につきて侍衞の長ネブザラダンに命じていひけるは
Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon commanded Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard concerning Jeremiah, saying,
12 彼を取りて善く待へよ害をくはふる勿れ彼が汝に云ふごとくなすべしと
“Take him and take care of him. Do him no harm; but do to him even as he tells you.”
13 是をもて侍衞の長ネブザラダン寺人の長ネブシヤスバン博士の長ネルガルシヤレゼルおよびバビロンの王の牧伯等
So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, Nebushazban, Rabsaris, and Nergal Sharezer, Rabmag, and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon
14 人を遣してヱレミヤを獄の庭よりたづさへ來らしめシヤパンの子アヒカムの子なるゲダリヤに付して之を家につれゆかしむ斯彼民の中に居る
sent and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should bring him home. So he lived amongst the people.
15 ヱレミヤ獄の庭に禁錮られをる時ヱホバの言彼にのぞみていふ
Now the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
16 汝ゆきてエテオピア人エベデメレクに告よ萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいふわれ我語しところの禍を此邑に降さん福はこれに降さじその日この事汝の目前にならん
“Go, and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, ‘The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will bring my words on this city for evil, and not for good; and they will be accomplished before you in that day.
17 ヱホバいひたまふその日にはわれ汝を救はん汝はその畏るるところの人衆の手に付されじ
But I will deliver you in that day,” says the LORD; “and you will not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.
18 われ必ず汝を救はん汝は劍をもて殺されじ汝の生命は汝の掠取物とならん汝われに倚賴めばなりとヱホバいひたまふ
For I will surely save you. You won’t fall by the sword, but you will escape with your life, because you have put your trust in me,” says the LORD.’”
