1その地の民はヨシヤの子エホアハズを選び、彼をその父に代わってエルサレムで王とした。
1Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father’s place in Jerusalem.
2ヨアハズ は二十三歳で王となり、エルサレムで三か月間治めた。
2Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
3エジプトの王は彼をエルサレムの王位から退け、その地に銀百タラントと金一タラント の罰金を科した。
3The king of Egypt removed him from office at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

4The 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エホヤキムは二十五歳で王となり、エルサレムで十一年間治めた。彼は自分の神、主の目に悪を行った。
5Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did that which was evil in the LORD his God’s sight.
6バビロンの王ネブカドネザルが彼に向かって攻め上って来て、彼をバビロンへ連れて行くために足枷で縛った。
6Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him in fetters to carry him to Babylon.
7ネブカドネザルはまた、主の家の器の一部をバビロンへ運び、バビロンにある彼の神殿にそれを置いた。
7Nebuchadnezzar also carried some of the vessels of the LORD’s house to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
8エホヤキムのその他の事績、彼が行った忌まわしいこと、および彼に認められた悪については、見よ、イスラエルとユダの王たちの書に記されている。その子エホヤキンが代わって王となった。
8Now 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.
9エホヤキンは八歳で王となり、エルサレムで三か月十日間治めた。彼は主の目に悪を行った。

10年が改まると、ネブカドネザル王は人を遣わして、彼を主の家の高価な器とともにバビロンへ連れて行き、その兄弟ゼデキヤをユダとエルサレムの王とした。
10At the return of the year, King Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon, with the valuable vessels of the LORD’s house, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11ゼデキヤは二十一歳で王となり、エルサレムで十一年間治めた。
11Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
12彼は自分の神、主の目に悪を行った。彼は主の言葉を語る預言者エレミヤの前にへりくだらなかった。
12He did that which was evil in the LORD his God’s sight. He didn’t humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the LORD’s mouth.
13彼はまた、神の名によって誓わせたネブカドネザル王に背いた。彼はうなじを固くし、心を頑なにしてイスラエルの神、主に立ち返ろうとしなかった。
13He 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さらに、祭司たちのすべての長と民は、国々のすべての忌まわしい行いに従って、非常にひどく背信の罪を犯した。彼らは主がエルサレムで聖別された主の家を汚した。
14Moreover all the chiefs of the priests and the people trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted the LORD’s house which he had made holy in Jerusalem.
15彼らの父祖の神、主は、ご自分の民と住まいをあわれまれたので、ご自分の使者たちを繰り返し遣わされた。
15The 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しかし彼らは神の使者たちをあざ笑い、その言葉を軽蔑し、その預言者たちを嘲った。ついに、主の激しい怒りがその民に向かって燃え上がり、もはや救いようがなくなった。
16but they mocked the messengers of God, despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the LORD’s wrath arose against his people, until there was no remedy.
17それゆえ主は、カルデア人の王を彼らに向かって攻め上らせた。彼は彼らの聖所で若者たちを剣で殺し、若者にも処女にも、老人にも年老いて弱った者にもあわれみを示さなかった。主はすべてを彼の手に渡された。
17Therefore 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.
18彼は神の家の大小のすべての器、主の家の財宝、および王とその君たちの財宝、これらすべてをバビロンへ持ち去った。
18All the vessels of God’s house, great and small, and the treasures of the LORD’s house, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon.
19彼らは神の家を焼き、エルサレムの城壁を打ち壊し、そのすべての宮殿を火で焼き、その高価な器をすべて滅ぼした。
19They burned God’s house, broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burned all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all of its valuable vessels.
20彼は剣から逃れた者たちをバビロンへ捕虜として連れ去った。彼らはペルシア王国の支配が始まるまで、彼とその子らのしもべとなった。
20He 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それはエレミヤの口を通して語られた主の言葉が果たされ、その地が安息年を取り戻すためであった。その地は荒れ果てている間、ずっと安息を守り、七十年を満たした。
21to fulfill the LORD’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.
22さて、ペルシアの王キュロスの第一年に、エレミヤの口を通して語られた主の言葉が成し遂げられるため、主はペルシアの王キュロスの心を奮い立たせられた。彼はその王国の全土に布告を出し、文書にも記して言った。
22Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the LORD’s word by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD 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,
23「ペルシアの王キュロスはこう言う。『天の神、主は地上のすべての王国をわたしに与えられた。主はユダにあるエルサレムに、ご自分のために家を建てるようにわたしに命じられた。あなたがたのうち、主の民に属する者はだれでも、その神、主がともにおられるように。その者は上って行け。』」
23“Cyrus king of Persia says, ‘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.’”
