列王記Ⅱ 25
1 そこでゼデキヤの治世の第九年の十月十日に、バビロンの王ネブカデネザルはもろもろの軍勢を率い、エルサレムにきて、これにむかって陣を張り、周囲にとりでを築いてこれを攻めた。
And in the ninth yeere of his reigne, the tenth moneth and tenth day of the moneth Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel came, he, and all his hoste against Ierusalem, and pitched against it, and they built fortes against it round about it.
2 こうして町は囲まれて、ゼデキヤ王の第十一年にまで及んだが、
So the citie was besieged vnto the eleueth yeere of King Zedekiah.
3 その四月九日になって、町のうちにききんが激しくなり、その地の民に食物がなくなった。
And the ninth day of the moneth the famine was sore in the citie, so that there was no bread for the people of the lande.
4 町の一角がついに破れたので、王はすべての兵士とともに、王の園のかたわらにある二つの城壁のあいだの門の道から夜のうちに逃げ出して、カルデヤびとが町を囲んでいる間に、アラバの方へ落ち延びた。
Then the citie was broken vp, and all the men of warre fled by night, by the way of the gate, which is betweene two walles that was by the Kings garden: nowe the Caldees were by the citie round about: and the King went by the way of the wildernesse.
5 しかしカルデヤびとの軍勢は王を追い、エリコの平地で彼に追いついた。彼の軍勢はみな彼を離れて散り去ったので、
But the armie of the Caldees pursued after the King, and tooke him in the desertes of Iericho, and all his hoste was scattered from him.
6 カルデヤびとは王を捕え、彼をリブラにいるバビロンの王のもとへ引いていって彼の罪を定め、
Then they tooke the King, and caried him vp to the King of Babel to Riblah, where they gaue iudgement vpon him.
7 ゼデキヤの子たちをゼデキヤの目の前で殺し、ゼデキヤの目をえぐり、足かせをかけてバビロンへ連れて行った。
And they slew the sonnes of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bounde him in chaines, and caried him to Babel.
8 バビロンの王ネブカデネザルの第十九年の五月七日に、バビロンの王の臣、侍衛の長ネブザラダンがエルサレムにきて、
And in the fift moneth, and seuenth day of the moneth, which was the nineteenth yere of King Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel, came Nebuzar-adan chiefe stewarde and seruaunt of the King of Babel, to Ierusalem,
9 主の宮と王の家とエルサレムのすべての家を焼いた。すなわち火をもってすべての大きな家を焼いた。
And burnt the house of the Lord, and the Kings house, and all the houses of Ierusalem, and all the great houses burnt he with fire.
10 また侍衛の長と共にいたカルデヤびとのすべての軍勢はエルサレムの周囲の城壁を破壊した。
And all the armie of the Caldees that were with the chiefe stewarde, brake downe the walles of Ierusalem round about.
11 そして侍衛の長ネブザラダンは、町に残された民およびバビロン王に降服した者と残りの群衆を捕え移した。
And the rest of the people that were left in the citie, and those that were fled and fallen to the King of Babel, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzar-adan chiefe steward carie away captiue.
12 ただし侍衛の長はその地の貧しい者を残して、ぶどうを作る者とし、農夫とした。
But the chiefe steward left of the poore of the land to dresse the vines, and to till the land.
13 カルデヤびとはまた主の宮の青銅の柱と、主の宮の洗盤の台と、青銅の海を砕いて、その青銅をバビロンに運び、
Also the pillars of brasse that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the brasen Sea that was in the house of the Lord, did the Caldees breake, and caried the brasse of them to Babel.
14 またつぼと、十能と、心切りばさみと、香を盛る皿およびすべて神殿の務に用いる青銅の器、
The pots also and the besomes, and the instruments of musike, and the incense dishes, and al the vessels of brasse that they ministred in, tooke they away.
15 また心取り皿と鉢を取り去った。侍衛の長はまた金で作った物と銀で作った物を取り去った。
And the asshe pannes, and the basens, and all that was of gold, and that was of siluer, tooke the chiefe steward away,
16 ソロモンが主の宮のために造った二つの柱と、一つの海と洗盤の台など、これらのもろもろの器の青銅の重さは量ることができなかった。
With the two pillars, one Sea and the bases, which Salomon had made for the house of the Lord: the brasse of all these vessels was without weight.
17 一つの柱の高さは十八キュビトで、その上に青銅の柱頭があり、柱頭の高さは三キュビトで、柱頭の周囲に網細工とざくろがあって、みな青銅であった。他の柱もその網細工もこれと同じであった。
The height of the one pillar was eighteene cubits, and the chapiter thereon was brasse, and the height of the chapiter was with networke three cubites, and pomegranates vpon the chapiter rounde about, all of brasse: and likewise was the second pillar with the networke.
18 侍衛の長は祭司長セラヤと次席の祭司ゼパニヤと三人の門を守る者を捕え、
And the chiefe steward tooke Seraiah the chiefe Priest, and Zephaniah the second Priest, and the three keepers of the doore.
19 また兵士をつかさどるひとりの役人と、王の前にはべる者のうち、町で見つかった者五人と、その地の民を募った軍勢の長の書記官と、町で見つかったその地の民六十人を町から捕え去った。
And out of the citie hee tooke an Eunuch that had the ouersight of the men of warre, and fiue men of them that were in the Kinges presence, which were founde in the citie, and Sopher captaine of the hoste, who mustred the people of the lande, and threescore men of the people of the lande, that were founde in the citie.
20 侍衛の長ネブザラダンは彼らを捕えて、リブラにいるバビロンの王のもとへ連れて行ったので、
And Nebuzar-adan the chiefe stewarde tooke them, and brought them to the King of Babel to Riblah.
21 バビロンの王はハマテの地のリブラで彼らを撃ち殺した。このようにしてユダはその地から捕え移された。
And the King of Babel smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Iudah was caried away captiue out of his owne land.
22 さてバビロンの王ネブカデネザルはユダの地に残してとどまらせた民の上に、シャパンの子アヒカムの子であるゲダリヤを立てて総督とした。
Howbeit there remained people in the land of Iudah, whom Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel left, and made Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan ruler ouer them.
23 時に軍勢の長たちおよびその部下の人々は、バビロンの王がゲダリヤを総督としたことを聞いて、ミヅパにいるゲダリヤのもとにきた。すなわちネタニヤの子イシマエル、カレヤの子ヨハナン、ネトパびとタンホメテの子セラヤ、マアカびとの子ヤザニヤおよびその部下の人々がゲダリヤのもとにきた。
Then when all the captaines of the host and their men heard, that the king of Babel had made Gedaliah gouernour, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, to wit, Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah, and Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and Seraiah the sonne of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Iaazaniah the sonne of Maachathi, they and their men.
24 ゲダリヤは彼らとその部下の人々に誓って言った、「あなたがたはカルデヤびとのしもべとなることを恐れてはならない。この地に住んで、バビロンの王に仕えなさい。そうすればあなたがたは幸福を得るでしょう」。
And Gedaliah sware to them, and to their men, and sayd vnto them, Feare not to be the seruants of the Caldees: dwell in the land, and serue the King of Babel, and ye shalbe well.
25 ところが七月になって、王の血統のエリシャマの子であるネタニヤの子イシマエルは十人の者と共にきて、ゲダリヤを撃ち殺し、また彼と共にミヅパにいたユダヤ人と、カルデヤびとを殺した。
But in the seuenth moneth Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah the sonne of Elishama of the Kings seede, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, and he died, and so did he the Iewes, and the Caldees that were with him at Mizpah.
26 そのため、大小の民および軍勢の長たちは、みな立ってエジプトへ行った。彼らはカルデヤびとを恐れたからである。
Then all ye people both small and great, and the captaines of the armie arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraide of the Caldees.
27 ユダの王エホヤキンが捕え移されて後三十七年の十二月二十七日、すなわちバビロンの王エビルメロダクの治世の第一年に、王はユダの王エホヤキンを獄屋から出して
Notwithstanding in the seuen and thirtieth yeere after Iehoiachin King of Iudah was caried away, in the twelft moneth and the seuen and twentieth day of the moneth, Euil-merodach King of Babel in the yeere that hee began to reigne, did lift vp the head of Iehoiachin King of Iudah out of the prison,
28 ねんごろに彼を慰め、その位を彼と共にバビロンにいる王たちの位よりも高くした。
And spake kindly to him, and set his throne aboue the throne of the Kings that were with him in Babel,
29 こうしてエホヤキンはその獄屋の衣を脱ぎ、一生の間、常に王の前で食事した。
And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eate bread before him, all the dayes of his life.
30 彼は一生の間、たえず日々の分を王から賜わって、その食物とした。
And his portion was a continual portion giuen him by the King, euery day a certaine, all the dayes of his life.
