Jeremiah 31
1 “At that time,” declares the LORD, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be My people.”
ヱホバいひたまふ其時われはイスラエルの諸の族の神となり彼らは我民とならん
2 This is what the LORD says: “The people who survived the sword found favor in the wilderness when Israel went to find rest.”
ヱホバかくいひたまふ劍をのがれて遺りし民は曠野の中に恩を獲たりわれ往て彼イスラエルに安息をあたへん
3 The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have drawn you with loving devotion.
遠方よりヱホバ我に顯れていひたまふ我窮なき愛をもて汝を愛せり故にわれたえず汝をめぐむなり
4 Again I will build you, and you will be rebuilt, O Virgin Israel. Again you will take up your tambourines and go out in joyful dancing.
イスラエルの童女よわれ復び汝を建ん汝は建らるべし汝ふたたび鼗をもて身を飾り歡樂者の舞にいでん
5 Again you will plant vineyards on the hills of Samaria; the farmers will plant and enjoy the fruit.
汝また葡萄の樹をサマリヤの山に植ん植る者は植てその果を食ふことをえん
6 For there will be a day when watchmen will call out on the hills of Ephraim, ‘Arise, let us go up to Zion, to the LORD our God!’”
エフライムの山の上に守望者の立て呼はる日きたらんいはく汝ら起よ我らシオンにのぼりて我儕の神ヱホバにまうでんと
7 For this is what the LORD says: “Sing with joy for Jacob; shout for the foremost of the nations! Make your praises heard, and say, ‘O LORD, save Your people, the remnant of Israel!’
ヱホバかくいひたまふ汝らヤコブの爲に歡びて呼はり萬國の首なる者のために叫べ汝ら示し且歌ひて言へヱホバよ願くはイスラエルの遺れる者汝の民を救ひたまへと
8 Behold, I will bring them from the land of the north and gather them from the farthest parts of the earth, including the blind and the lame, expectant mothers and women in labor. They will return as a great assembly!
みよ我彼らを北の地よりひきかへり彼らを地の極より集めん彼らの中には瞽者 跛者 孕める婦 子を產みし婦ともに居る彼らは大なる群をなして此處にかへらん
9 They will come with weeping, and by their supplication I will lead them; I will make them walk beside streams of waters, on a level path where they will not stumble. For I am Israel’s Father, and Ephraim is My firstborn.”
彼ら悲泣來らん我かれらをして祈禱をもて來らしめ直くして蹶かざる途より水の流に歩みいたらしめん我はイスラエルの父にしてエフライムは我長子なればなり
10 Hear, O nations, the word of the LORD, and proclaim it in distant coastlands: “The One who scattered Israel will gather them and keep them as a shepherd keeps his flock.
萬國の民よ汝らヱホバの言をきき之を遠き諸島に示していえへイスラエルを散せしものこれを聚め牧者のその群を守るが如く之を守らん
11 For the LORD has ransomed Jacob and redeemed him from the hand that had overpowered him.
すなはちヱホバ、ヤコブを贖ひ彼等よりも強き者の手よりかれを救出したまへり
12 They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will be radiant over the bounty of the LORD— the grain, new wine, and oil, and the young of the flocks and herds. Their life will be like a well-watered garden, and never again will they languish.
彼らは來てシオンの頂によばはりヱホバの賜ひし福なる麥と酒と油および若き羊と牛の爲に寄集はんその靈魂は灌ふ園のごとくならん彼らは重て愁ふること無るべし
13 Then the maidens will rejoice with dancing, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into joy, and give them comfort and joy for their sorrow.
その時童女は舞てたのしみ壯者と老者もろともに樂しまん我かれらの悲をかへて喜となしかれらの愁をさりてこれを慰さめん
14 I will fill the souls of the priests abundantly, and will fill My people with My goodness,”
われ膏をもて祭司の心を飫しめ我恩をもて我民に滿しめんとヱホバ言たまふ
15 This is what the LORD says: “A voice is heard in Ramah, mourning and great weeping, Rachel weeping for her children, and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.”
ヱホバかくいひたまふ歎き悲みいたく憂ふる聲ラマに聞ゆラケルその兒子のために歎きその兒子のあらずなりしによりて慰をえず
16 This is what the LORD says: “Keep your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for the reward for your work will come, declares the LORD. Then your children will return from the land of the enemy.
ヱホバかくいひ給ふ汝の聲を禁て哭こと勿れ汝の目を禁て涙を流すこと勿れ汝の工に報あるべし彼らは其敵の地より歸らんとヱホバいひたまふ
17 So there is hope for your future, declares the LORD, and your children will return to their own land.
汝の後の日に望あり兒子等その境に歸らんとヱホバいひたまふ
18 I have surely heard Ephraim’s moaning: ‘You disciplined me severely, like an untrained calf. Restore me, that I may return, for You are the LORD my God.
われ固にエフライムのみづから歎くをきけり云く汝は我を懲しめたまふ我は軛に馴ざる犢のごとくに懲治を受たりヱホバよ汝はわが神なれば我を牽轉したまへ然ば我轉るべし
19 After I returned, I repented; and after I was instructed, I struck my thigh in grief. I was ashamed and humiliated because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
われ轉りし後に悔い敎を承しのちに我髀を撃つ我幼時の羞を身にもてば恥ぢかつ辱しめらるるなりと
20 Is not Ephraim a precious son to Me, a delightful child? Though I often speak against him, I still remember him. Therefore My heart yearns for him; I have great compassion for him,”
ヱホバいひたまふエフライムは我愛するところの子悦ぶところの子ならずや我彼にむかひてかたるごとに彼を念はざるを得ず是をもて我膓かれの爲に痛む我必ず彼を恤むべし
21 “Set up the roadmarks, establish the signposts. Keep the highway in mind, the road you have traveled. Return, O Virgin Israel, return to these cities of yours.
汝のために指路號を置き汝のために柱をたてよ汝のゆける道なる大路に心をとめよイスラエルの童女よ歸れこの汝の邑々にかへれよ
22 How long will you wander, O faithless daughter? For the LORD has created a new thing in the land— a woman will shelter a man.”
違ける女よ汝いつまで流蕩ふやヱホバ新しき事を地に創造らん女は男を抱くべし
23 This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “When I restore them from captivity, they will once again speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities: ‘May the LORD bless you, O righteous dwelling place, O holy mountain.’
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひ給ふ我かの俘囚し者を返さん時人々復ユダの地とその邑々に於て此言をいはん義き居所よ聖き山よ願くはヱホバ汝を祝みたまへと
24 And Judah and all its cities will dwell together in the land, the farmers and those who move with the flocks,
ユダとその諸の邑々に農夫と群を牧ふもの偕に住はん
25 for I will refresh the weary soul and replenish all who are weak.”
われ疲れたる靈魂を飫しめすべての憂ふる靈魂をなぐさむるなり
26 At this I awoke and looked around. My sleep had been most pleasant to me.
茲にわれ目を醒しみるに我眠は甘かりし
27 “The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and of beast.
ヱホバいひたまふ視よ我が人の種と畜の種とをイスラエルの家とユダの家とに播く日いたらん
28 Just as I watched over them to uproot and tear down, to demolish, destroy, and bring disaster, so I will watch over them to build and to plant,” declares the LORD.
我彼らを拔き毀ち覆し滅し難さんとうかがひし如くまた彼らを建て植ゑんとうかがふべしとヱホバいひ給ふ
29 “In those days, it will no longer be said: ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are set on edge.’
その時彼らは父が酸き葡萄を食ひしによりて兒子の齒齪くと再びいはざるべし
30 Instead, each will die for his own iniquity. If anyone eats the sour grapes, his own teeth will be set on edge.
人はおのおの自己の惡によりて死なん凡そ酸き葡萄をくらふ人はその齒齪く
31 Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
ヱホバいひたまふみよ我イスラエルの家とユダの家とに新しき契約を立つる日きたらん
32 It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt— a covenant they broke, though I was a husband to them,”
この契約は我彼らの先祖の手をとりてエジプトの地よりこれを導きいだせし日に立しところの如きにあらず我かれらを娶りたれども彼らはその我契約を破れりとヱホバいひたまふ
33 “But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD. I will put My law in their minds and inscribe it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.
然どかの日の後に我イスラエルの家に立んところの契約は此なり即ちわれ我律法をかれらの衷におきその心の上に錄さん我は彼らの神となり彼らは我民となるべしとヱホバいひたまふ
34 No longer will each man teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”
人おのおの其隣とその兄弟に敎へて汝ヱホバを識と復いはじそは小より大にいたるまで悉く我をしるべければなりとヱホバいひたまふ我彼らの不義を赦しその罪をまた思はざるべし
35 Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for light by day, who sets in order the moon and stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—the LORD of Hosts is His name:
ヱホバかく言すなはち是日をあたへて晝の光となし月と星をさだめて夜の光となし海を激してその濤を鳴しむる者その名は萬軍のヱホバと言なり
36 “Only if this fixed order departed from My presence, declares the LORD, would Israel’s descendants ever cease to be a nation before Me.”
ヱホバいひたまふもし此等の規律我前に廢らばイスラエルの子孫も我前に廢りて永遠も民たることを得ざるべし
37 This is what the LORD says: “Only if the heavens above could be measured and the foundations of the earth below searched out would I reject all of Israel’s descendants because of all they have done,”
ヱホバかくいひたまふ若し上の天量ることを得下の地の基探ることをえば我またイスラエルのすべての子孫を其もろもろの行のために棄べしヱホバこれをいふ
38 “The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when this city will be rebuilt for Me, from the tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.
ヱホバいひたまふ視よ此邑ハナネルの塔より隅の門までヱホバの爲に建つ日きたらん
39 The measuring line will once again stretch out straight to the hill of Gareb and then turn toward Goah.
量繩ふたたび直ちにガレブの岡をこえゴアテの方に轉るべし
40 The whole valley of the dead bodies and ashes, and all the fields as far as the Kidron Valley, to the corner of the Horse Gate to the east, will be holy to the LORD. It will never again be uprooted or demolished.”
屍と灰の谷またケデロンの溪にいたるまでと東の方の馬の門の隅にいたるまでの諸の田地皆ヱホバの聖き處となり永遠におよぶまで再び拔れまた覆さるる事なかるべし
