| 24-2 |
And Jehovah sent against him bands of the Chaldeans, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spake by his servants the prophets. |
主はカルデヤびとの略奪隊、スリヤびとの略奪隊、モアブびとの略奪隊、アンモンびとの略奪隊をつかわしてエホヤキムを攻められた。すなわちユダを攻め、これを滅ぼすために彼らをつかわされた。主がそのしもべである預言者たちによって語られた言葉のとおりである。 |
| 24-3 |
Surely at the commandment of Jehovah came this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did, |
これは全く主の命によってユダに臨んだもので、ユダを主の目の前から払い除くためであった。すなわちマナセがすべておこなったその罪のため、 |
| 24-4 |
and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood: and Jehovah would not pardon. |
また彼が罪なき人の血を流し、罪なき人の血をエルサレムに満たしたためであって、主はその罪をゆるそうとはされなかった。 |
| 24-5 |
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? |
エホヤキムのその他の事績と、彼がおこなったすべての事は、ユダの王の歴代志の書にしるされているではないか。 |
| 24-6 |
So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers; and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead. |

| 24-7 |
And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the brook of Egypt unto the river Euphrates, all that pertained to the king of Egypt. |
エジプトの王は再びその国から出てこなかった。バビロンの王がエジプトの川からユフラテ川まで、すべてエジプトの王に属するものを取ったからである。 |
| 24-8 |
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned in Jerusalem three months: and his mother’s name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem. |
エホヤキンは王となった時十八歳で、エルサレムで三か月の間、世を治めた。母はエルサレムのエルナタンの娘で、名をネホシタといった。 |
| 24-9 |
And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his father had done. |
エホヤキンはすべてその父がおこなったように主の目の前に悪を行った。 |
| 24-10 |
At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged. |
そのころ、バビロンの王ネブカデネザルの家来たちはエルサレムに攻め上って、町を囲んだ。 |
| 24-11 |
And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came unto the city, while his servants were besieging it; |

| 24-12 |
and Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign. |

| 24-13 |
And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king’s house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold, which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of Jehovah, as Jehovah had said. |
彼はまた主の宮のもろもろの宝物および王の家の宝物をことごとく持ち出し、イスラエルの王ソロモンが造って主の神殿に置いたもろもろの金の器を切りこわした。主が言われたとおりである。 |
| 24-14 |
And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths; none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land. |
彼はまたエルサレムのすべての市民、およびすべてのつかさとすべての勇士、ならびにすべての木工と鍛冶一万人を捕えて行った。残った者は国の民の貧しい者のみであった。 |
| 24-15 |
And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon; and the king’s mother, and the king’s wives, and his officers, and the chief men of the land, carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. |
さらに彼はエホヤキンをバビロンに捕えて行き、また王の母、王の妻たち、および侍従と国のうちのおもな人々をも、エルサレムからバビロンへ捕えて行った。 |
| 24-16 |
And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths a thousand, all of them strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon. |

And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s father’s brother, king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah. |
そしてバビロンの王はエホヤキンの父の兄弟マッタニヤを王としてエホヤキンに代え、名をゼデキヤと改めた。 |
| 24-18 |
Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. |
ゼデキヤは二十一歳で王となり、エルサレムで十一年の間、世を治めた。母はリブナのエレミヤの娘で、名をハムタルといった。 |
| 24-19 |
And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. |
ゼデキヤはすべてエホヤキムがおこなったように主の目の前に悪を行った。 |
| 24-20 |
For through the anger of Jehovah did it come to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon. |
エルサレムとユダにこのような事の起ったのは主の怒りによるので、主はついに彼らをみ前から払いすてられた。さてゼデキヤはバビロンの王にそむいた。 |
