1And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.
1彼の治世の第九年、第十の月の十日に、バビロンの王ネブカドネザルが、彼とその全軍勢とともにエルサレムに対して攻め上り、それに対して陣を敷いた。そして彼らはその周囲に土塁を築いた。
2So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
2こうして町はゼデキヤ王の第十一年まで包囲された。
3On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
3第四の月の九日に、町にききんが激しくなり、その地の民のためのパンがなくなった。
4Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden — now the Chaldeans were against the city round about — and the king went by the way of the Arabah.
4ついに町の城壁が破られた。すべての戦士は夜のうちに、王の園のそば、二重の城壁の間にある門から逃げ出した。カルデア人が町を包囲していたので、王はアラバへの道を進んだ。
5But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
5しかし、カルデア人の軍勢は王を追跡し、エリコの平野で彼に追いついた。彼の全軍勢は彼から散り去っていた。
6Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
6彼らは王を捕らえ、リブラにいるバビロンの王のところへ彼を連れて上った。そして彼らは彼にさばきを下した。
7And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
7彼らはゼデキヤの目の前でゼデキヤの息子たちを殺し、ゼデキヤの目をえぐり出し、青銅の足枷で彼を縛ってバビロンへ連れて行った。
8Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem.
8さて、第五の月の七日、すなわちバビロンの王ネブカドネザルの第十九年に、バビロンの王のしもべである護衛兵の長ネブザルアダンがエルサレムに来た。
9And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great man's house, burnt he with fire.
9彼は主の家と王の家を焼き、エルサレムのすべての家、すなわちすべての大きな家を火で焼いた。
10And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
10護衛兵の長とともにいたカルデア人の全軍勢は、エルサレムの周囲の城壁を打ち壊した。
11And the residue of the people that were left in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away captive.
11護衛兵の長ネブザルアダンは、町に残っていた民、バビロンの王に投降した者、その他の民を捕らえ移した。
12But the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
12しかし、護衛兵の長は、ぶどう畑と畑で働かせるために、その地の最も貧しい者たちを残した。
13And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases and the brazen sea that were in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldeans break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
13カルデア人は主の家にあった青銅の柱と、主の家にあった台座と青銅の海を打ち砕き、その青銅をバビロンへ運んだ。
14And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the pans, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
14彼らはまた、鍋、十能、芯切りばさみ、さじ、および彼らが奉仕に用いていたすべての青銅の器を奪い去った。
15And the fire-pans, and the basins, that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.
15護衛兵の長は火皿と鉢を取り、金でできたものは金として、銀でできたものは銀として奪い去った。
16The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
16ソロモンが主の家のために造った二本の柱、一つの海、そして台座については、これらすべての器の青銅は量りきれなかった。
17The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of brass was upon it; and the height of the capital was three cubits; with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of brass; and like unto these had the second pillar with network.
17一本の柱の高さは十八キュビト であり、その上に青銅の柱頭があった。柱頭の高さは三キュビトであり、柱頭の周囲にある網とざくろはすべて青銅であった。二本目の柱もその網とともにこれと同じであった。
18And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door;
18護衛兵の長は祭司の長セラヤと、第二位の祭司ゼファニヤと、三人の門を守る者たちを捕らえた。
19and out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war; and five men of them that saw the king's face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the city.
19彼は町から、戦士たちを統率していた一人の役人と、町で見つかった王の側近の五人の男と、その地の民を召集した軍の長である書記官と、町で見つかったその地の民六十人を捕らえた。
20And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
20護衛兵の長ネブザルアダンは彼らを捕らえ、リブラにいるバビロンの王のところへ彼らを連れて行った。
21And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
21バビロンの王はハマトの地リブラで彼らを打ち殺した。こうしてユダは自分の地から捕囚となった。
22And as for the people that were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor.
22ユダの地に残された民、すなわちバビロンの王ネブカドネザルが残した民について言えば、彼はシャファンの息子アヒカムの息子ゲダルヤを彼らの上の総督とした。
23Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
23すべての軍の長たち、すなわち彼らとその部下たちは、バビロンの王がゲダルヤを総督としたことを聞くと、彼らはミツパのゲダルヤのところに来た。すなわちネタヌヤの息子イシュマエル、カレアの息子ヨハナン、ネトファ人タンフメテの息子セラヤ、マアカ人の息子ヤアザヌヤ、彼らとその部下たちである。
24And Gedaliah swore to them and to their men, and said unto them: 'Fear not because of the servants of the Chaldeans; dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.'
24ゲダルヤは彼らと彼らの部下たちに誓って、彼らに言った。「カルデア人のしもべたちを恐れてはならない。この地に住み、バビロンの王に仕えなさい。そうすれば、あなたがたにとって良いこととなる。」
25But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.
25しかし、第七の月に、王族の出身であるエリシャマの息子ネタヌヤの息子イシュマエルが、十人の男たちとともにやって来て、ゲダルヤを打ち殺した。またミツパで彼とともにいたユダヤ人やカルデア人も打ち殺した。
26And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose, and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
26小さい者から大きい者まで、すべての民と軍の長たちは立ち上がり、エジプトへ行った。彼らがカルデア人を恐れたからである。
27And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison.
27ユダの王エホヤキンが捕らえ移されてから第三十七年、第十二の月の二十七日に、バビロンの王エビル・メロダクは、その治世の初めの年に、ユダの王エホヤキンを監獄から解放した。
28And he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
28彼はエホヤキンに優しく語りかけ、彼の王座をバビロンで彼とともにいた王たちの王座よりも高い所に置いた。
29And he changed his prison garments, and did eat bread before him continually all the days of his life.
29王は彼の囚人服を着替えさせた。エホヤキンは生涯、いつも王の食卓で食事をした。
30And for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him of the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.
30彼には王から日々の生活費が支給され、生涯、途切れることがなかった。
