1バビロンの王ネブカドネザルが、その全軍、彼の支配下にある地のすべての王国、すべての民とともに、エルサレムとそのすべての町々を攻めていた時、主の言葉がエレミヤに臨んだ。
1The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the land of his dominion, and all the peoples, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying:
2「イスラエルの神、主はこう言われる。『行って、ユダの王ゼデキヤに語り、こう告げよ。主はこう言われる。「見よ、わたしはこの町をバビロンの王の手に渡す。彼はこれを火で焼く。
2Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Go, and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him: Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire;
3あなたは彼の手から逃れられず、必ず捕らえられ、その手に渡される。あなたはバビロンの王と顔を合わせ、彼はあなたと直接語る。あなたはバビロンへ行く。」』
3and thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
4しかし、ユダの王ゼデキヤよ、主の言葉を聞け。主はあなたについてこう言われる。『あなたは剣で死ぬことはない。
4Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah: Thus saith the LORD concerning thee: Thou shalt not die by the sword;
5あなたは平安のうちに死ぬ。あなたより前にいた先代の王である父祖たちのために火をたいたように、人々はあなたのためにも火をたく。そして、「ああ、主君よ」と、あなたのために嘆く。わたしがこの言葉を語ったからだ』と、主は言われる。」
5thou shalt die in peace; and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings that were before thee, so shall they make a burning for thee; and they shall lament thee: 'Ah lord!' for I have spoken the word, saith the LORD.
6預言者エレミヤは、エルサレムでユダの王ゼデキヤにこれらすべての言葉を語った。
6Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
7その時、バビロンの王の軍隊は、エルサレムと、残っていたユダのすべての町々、すなわちラキシュとアゼカを攻めていた。ユダの町々のうち、城壁のある町として残っていたのは、この二つだけであった。
7when the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these alone remained of the cities of Judah as fortified cities.
8ゼデキヤ王がエルサレムにいるすべての民と契約を結び、彼らに解放を宣言した後、主からエレミヤに言葉が臨んだ。
8The word that came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people that were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;
9それは、各自がヘブル人である男奴隷と女奴隷を自由にし、だれもユダヤ人である兄弟を奴隷として使ってはならないというものであった。
9that every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, go free; that none should make bondmen of them, even of a Jew his brother;
10この契約に加わったすべての高官とすべての民は、各自が男奴隷と女奴隷を自由にし、もはや彼らを奴隷として使わないという契約に従い、奴隷たちを自由にした。
10and all the princes and all the people hearkened, that had entered into the covenant to let every one his man-servant, and every one his maid-servant, go free, and not to make bondmen of them any more; they hearkened, and let them go;
11しかし、その後、彼らは心を変え、自由にした男奴隷と女奴隷を連れ戻し、再び奴隷として働かせた。
11but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids;
12そこで、主の言葉がエレミヤに臨んだ。
12therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying:
13「イスラエルの神、主はこう言われる。『わたしは、あなたがたの父祖をエジプトの地、奴隷の家から連れ出した日に、彼らと契約を結び、こう言った。
13Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying:
14「七年の終わりに、あなたがたはそれぞれ、あなたに身を売り、六年間仕えたヘブル人の兄弟を解放しなければならない。彼をあなたのもとから自由に去らせよ。」しかし、あなたがたの父祖はわたしに聞き従わず、耳を傾けなかった。
14'At the end of seven years ye shall let go every man his brother that is a Hebrew, that hath been sold unto thee, and hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee'; but your fathers hearkened not unto Me, neither inclined their ear.
15あなたがたは今、立ち返って、各自が隣人に解放を宣言し、わたしの目に正しいことを行った。そして、わたしの名で呼ばれる家で、わたしの前に契約を結んだ。
15And ye were now turned, and had done that which is right in Mine eyes, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before Me in the house whereon My name is called;
16しかし、あなたがたは再び心を変えて、わたしの名を汚した。各自が、自由に去らせた男奴隷と女奴隷を連れ戻し、再び自分たちの奴隷として働かせた。』」
16but ye turned and profaned My name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom ye had let go free at their pleasure, to return; and ye brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.
17それゆえ、主はこう言われる。「あなたがたはわたしに聞き従わず、各自が兄弟と隣人に解放を宣言しなかった。見よ、わたしはあなたがたに自由を宣言する」と、主は言われる。「剣と疫病と飢饉に渡される自由を。わたしはあなたがたを地のすべての王国の間をさまよう者とする。
17Therefore thus saith the LORD: Ye have not hearkened unto Me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbour; behold, I proclaim for you a liberty, saith the LORD, unto the sword, unto the pestilence, and unto the famine; and I will make you a horror unto all the kingdoms of the earth.
18わたしの契約に背き、わたしの前で結んだ契約の言葉を果たさなかった者たちを、わたしは引き渡す。彼らは子牛を二つに切り、その二つの部分の間を通った。
18And I will give the men that have transgressed My covenant, that have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before Me, when they cut the calf in twain and passed between the parts thereof;
19ユダの高官たち、エルサレムの高官たち、宦官たち、祭司たち、この地のすべての民が、その子牛の二つの部分の間を通った。
19the princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the officers, and the priests, and all the people of the land, that passed between the parts of the calf;
20わたしは彼らを敵の手と、彼らの命を狙う者たちの手に渡す。彼らの死体は空の鳥と地の動物の餌となる。
20I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life; and their dead bodies shall be for food unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.
21わたしはユダの王ゼデキヤとその高官たちを、敵の手、彼らの命を狙う者たちの手、また、あなたがたのところから退いたバビロンの王の軍隊の手に渡す。
21And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, that are gone up from you.
22見よ、わたしは命じる」と、主は言われる。「彼らをこの町に戻らせる。彼らはこの町を攻め、占領し、火で焼く。わたしはユダの町々を荒れ果てさせ、住む者のない所とする。」
22Behold, I will command, saith the LORD, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.
