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 to Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, with all his army, all the kingdoms of the earth that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem and against all its cities, 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。
2“The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Go, and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, the LORD says, “Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon and he will 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。」』
3You won’t escape out of his hand, but will surely be taken and delivered into his hand. Your eyes will see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he will speak with you mouth to mouth. You will 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。
4“Yet hear the LORD’s word, O Zedekiah king of Judah. The LORD says concerning you, ‘You won’t 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。」
5You will die in peace; and with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so they will make a burning for you. They will lament you, saying, “Ah Lord!” for I have spoken the word,’ says 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 to 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 was fighting 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 came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to 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 male servant, and every man his female servant, who is a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free, that no one should make bondservants of them, 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。
10All the princes and all the people obeyed who had entered into the covenant, that everyone should let his male servant and everyone his female servant go free, that no one should make bondservants of them any more. They obeyed 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 LORD’s word 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。
13“The LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them 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。
14At the end of seven years, every man of you shall release his brother who is a Hebrew, who has been sold to you, and has served you six years. You shall let him go free from you. But your fathers didn’t listen to me, and didn’t incline 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。
15You had now turned, and had done that which is right in my eyes, in every man proclaiming liberty to his neighbor. You had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name;
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 you turned and profaned my name, and every man caused his servant and every man his handmaid, whom you had let go free at their pleasure, to return. You brought them into subjection, to be to 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 the LORD says: “You have not listened to me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbor. Behold, I proclaim to you a liberty,” says the LORD, “to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine. I will make you be tossed back and forth among 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。
18I will give the men who have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me when they cut the calf in two and passed between its parts:
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, the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, the priests, and all the people of the land, who 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 those who seek their life. Their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals 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。
21“I will give Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes into the hands of their enemies, into the hands of those who seek their life and into the hands of the king of Babylon’s army, who has gone away 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,” says the LORD, “and cause them to return to this city. They will fight against it, take it, and burn it with fire. I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.”
