Jeremiah 15
1 Then the LORD said to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My heart would not go out to this people. Send them from My presence, and let them go.
ヱホバ我にいひたまひけるはたとひモーセとサムエルわが前にたつとも我こころは斯民を顧ざるべしかれらを我前より逐ひていでさらしめよ
2 If they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ you are to tell them that this is what the LORD says: ‘Those destined for death, to death; those destined for the sword, to the sword; those destined for famine, to famine; and those destined for captivity, to captivity.’
彼らもし汝にわれら何處にいでさらんやといはば汝彼らにヱホバかくいへりといへ死に定められたる者は死にいたり劍に定められたる者は劍にいたり饑饉に定められたる者は饑饉にいたり虜に定められたる者は虜にいたるべしと
3 I will appoint over them four kinds of destroyers, declares the LORD: the sword to kill, the dogs to drag away, and the birds of the air and beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.
ヱホバ云たまひけるはわれ四の物をもて彼らを罰せんすなはち劍をもて戮し犬をもて噬せ天空の鳥および地の獸をもて食ひ滅さしめん
4 I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah did in Jerusalem.
またユダの王ヒゼキヤの子マナセがヱルサレムになせし事によりわれ彼らをして地のすべての國に艱難をうけしめん
5 Who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem? Who will mourn for you? Who will turn aside to ask about your welfare?
ヱルサレムよ誰か汝を憐まんたれか汝のために嘆かん誰かちかづきて汝の安否を問はん
6 You have forsaken Me, declares the LORD. You have turned your back. So I will stretch out My hand against you and I will destroy you; I am weary of showing compassion.
ヱホバいひたまふ汝われをすてたり汝退けり故にわれ手を汝のうへに伸て汝を滅さんわれ憫に倦り
7 I will scatter them with a winnowing fork at the gates of the land. I will bereave and destroy My people who have not turned from their ways.
われ風扇をもて我民をこの地の門に煽がんかれらは其途を離れざるによりて我その子を絕ち彼らを滅すべし
8 I will make their widows more numerous than the sand of the sea. I will bring a destroyer at noon against the mothers of young men. I will suddenly bring upon them anguish and dismay.
彼らの寡婦はわが前に海濱の沙よりも多し晝われほろぼす者を携へきたりて彼らと壯者の母とをせめ驚駭と恐懼を突然にかれの上におこさん
9 The mother of seven will grow faint; she will breathe her last breath. Her sun will set while it is still day; she will be disgraced and humiliated. And the rest I will put to the sword in the presence of their enemies,”
七人の子をうみし婦は衰へて氣たえ尚晝なるにその日は早く沒る彼は辱められて面をあからめん其餘れる者はわれ之をその敵の劍に付さんとヱホバいひたまふ
10 Woe to me, my mother, that you have borne me, a man of strife and conflict in all the land. I have neither lent nor borrowed, yet everyone curses me.
嗚呼われは禍なるかな我母よ汝なに故に我を生しや全國の人我と爭ひ我を攻むわれ人に貸さず人また我に貸さず皆我を詛ふなり
11 The LORD said: “Surely I will deliver you for a good purpose; surely I will intercede with your enemy in your time of trouble, in your time of distress.
ヱホバいひたまひけるは我實に汝に益をえせしめんために汝を惱す我まことに敵をして其艱の時と災の時に汝に求むることをなさしめん
12 Can anyone smash iron— iron from the north—or bronze?
鐵いかで北の鐵と銅を碎かんや
13 Your wealth and your treasures I will give up as plunder, without charge for all your sins within all your borders.
われ汝の資產と汝の資財を擄掠物とならしめ價をうることなからしめん是汝のすべての罪によるなりすべて汝の境のうちにかくなさん
14 Then I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for My anger will kindle a fire that will burn against you.”
われ汝の敵をして汝を汝の識ざる地にとらへ移さしめん夫我怒によりて火燃え汝を焚んとするなり
15 You understand, O LORD; remember me and attend to me. Avenge me against my persecutors. In Your patience, do not take me away. Know that I endure reproach for Your honor.
ヱホバよ汝これを知りたまふ我を憶え我をかへりみたまへ我を迫害るものに仇を復したまへ汝の容忍によりて我をとらへられしむる勿れ我汝の爲に辱を受るを知りたまへ
16 Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words became my joy and my heart’s delight. For I bear Your name, O LORD God of Hosts.
われ汝の言を得て之を食へり汝の言はわが心の欣喜快樂なり萬軍の神ヱホバよわれは汝の名をもて稱へらるるなり
17 I never sat with the band of revelers, nor did I celebrate with them. Because Your hand was on me, I sat alone, for You have filled me with indignation.
われ嬉笑者の會に坐せずまた喜ばずわれ汝の手によりて獨り坐す汝憤怒をもて我に充したまへり
18 Why is my pain unending, and my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? You have indeed become like a mirage to me— water that is not there.
何故にわが痛は息ずわが傷は重くして愈ざるか汝はわれにおけること水をたもたずして人を欺く溪河のごとくなるや
19 Therefore this is what the LORD says: “If you return, I will restore you; you will stand in My presence. And if you speak words that are noble instead of worthless, you will be My spokesman. It is they who must turn to you, but you must not turn to them.
是をもてヱホバかくいひたまへり汝もし歸らば我また汝をかへらしめて我前に立しめん汝もし賤をすてて貴をいださば我口のごとくならん彼らは汝に歸らんされど汝は彼らにかへる勿れ
20 Then I will make you a wall to this people, a fortified wall of bronze; they will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you to save and deliver you, declares the LORD.
われ汝をこの民の前に堅き銅の牆となさんかれら汝を攻るとも汝にかたざるべしそはわれ汝と偕にありて汝をたすけ汝を救へばなりとヱホバいひたまへり
21 I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked and redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.”
我汝を惡人の手より救ひとり汝を怖るべき者の手より放つべし
