Jeremiah 32
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
ユダの王ゼデキヤの十年即ちネブカデネザルの十八年の頃ヱホバの言ヱレミヤにのぞめり
2 At that time the army of the king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was imprisoned in the courtyard of the guard, which was in the palace of the king of Judah.
その時バビロンの軍勢ヱルサレムを攻環み居て預言者ヱレミヤはユダの王の室にある獄の庭の内に禁錮られたり
3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had imprisoned him, saying: “Why are you prophesying like this? You claim that the LORD says, ‘Behold, I am about to deliver this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.
ユダの王ゼデキヤ彼を禁錮ていひけるは汝何故に預言してヱホバかく云たまふといふや云く視よ我この邑をバビロン王の手に付さん彼之を取るべし
4 Zedekiah king of Judah will not escape from the hands of the Chaldeans, but he will surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and will speak with him face to face and see him eye to eye.
またユダの王ゼデキヤはカルデヤ人の手より脱れず必ずバビロン王の手に付され口と口とあひ語り目と目あひ觀るべし
5 He will take Zedekiah to Babylon, where he will stay until I attend to him, declares the LORD. If you fight against the Chaldeans, you will not succeed.’”
彼ゼデキヤをバビロンに携きゆかんゼデキヤはわが彼を顧る時まで彼處に居んとヱホバいひたまふ汝らカルデヤ人と戰ふとも勝ことを得じと
6 Jeremiah replied, “The word of the LORD came to me, saying:
ヱレミヤいふヱホバの言われに臨みていはく
7 Behold! Hanamel, the son of your uncle Shallum, is coming to you to say, ‘Buy for yourself my field in Anathoth, for you have the right of redemption to buy it.’
みよ汝の叔父シヤルムの子ハナメル汝にきたりていはん汝アナトテに在るわが田地を買へそは之を贖ふ事は汝の分なればなりと
8 Then, as the LORD had said, my cousin Hanamel came to me in the courtyard of the guard and urged me, ‘Please buy my field in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, for you own the right of inheritance and redemption. Buy it for yourself.’” Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.
かくてヱホバの言のごとく我叔父の子ハナメル獄の庭にて我に來り云けるは願くは汝ベニヤミンの地のアナトテに在るわが田地を買へそは之を嗣ぎこれを贖ふことは汝の分なれば汝みつからこれを買ひとれとここに於てわれ此はヱホバの言なりと知りたれば
9 So I bought the field in Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel, and I weighed out seventeen shekels of silver.
我叔父の子ハナメルがアナトテにもてる田地をかひて彼に銀十七シケルを稱てあたふ
10 I signed and sealed the deed, called in witnesses, and weighed out the silver on the scales.
すなはち我その契劵を書てこれに封印し證人をたて權衡をもて銀を稱て與ふ
11 Then I took the deed of purchase—the sealed copy with its terms and conditions, as well as the open copy—
而してわれその約定をのするところの封印せし買劵とその開きたるものを取り
12 and I gave this deed to Baruch son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the sight of my cousin Hanamel and the witnesses who were signing the purchase agreement and all the Jews sitting in the courtyard of the guard.
わが叔父の子ハナメルと買劵に印せし證人の前および獄の庭に坐するユダ人の前にてその買劵をマアセヤの子なるネリヤの子バルクに與へ
13 In their sight I instructed Baruch,
彼らの前にてわれバルクに命じていひけるは
14 “This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Take these deeds—both the sealed copy and the open copy of the deed of purchase—and put them in a clay jar to preserve them for a long time.
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かく云たまふ汝これらの契劵すなはち此買劵の封印せし者と開きたるものを取り之を瓦器の中に貯へて多くの日の間保たしめよ
15 For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Houses, fields, and vineyards will again be bought in this land.”
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふそは此地に於て人復屋と田地と葡萄園を買ふにいたらんと
16 After I had given the deed of purchase to Baruch son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD:
われ買契をネリヤの子バルクに付せしのちヱホバに祈りて云ひけるは
17 “Oh, Lord GOD! You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for You!
嗚呼主ヱホバよ汝はその大なる能力と伸たる腕をもて天と地を造りたまへり汝には爲す能はざるところなし
18 You show loving devotion to thousands but lay the iniquity of the fathers into the laps of their children after them, O great and mighty God whose name is the LORD of Hosts,
汝は恩寵を千萬人に施し又父の罪をその後の子孫の懷に報いたまふ汝は大なる全能の神にいまして其名は萬軍のヱホバとまうすなり
19 the One great in counsel and mighty in deed, whose eyes are on all the ways of the sons of men, to reward each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds.
汝の謀略は大なり汝は事をなすに能あり汝の目は人のこどもらの諸の途を鑒はしおのおのの行に循ひその行爲の果によりて之に報いたまふ
20 You performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and You do so to this very day, both in Israel and among all mankind. And You have made a name for Yourself, as is the case to this day.
汝休徴と奇跡をエジプトの地に行ひたまひて今日にまでいたるまたイスラエルと他の民の中にも然りかくして今日のごとくに汝の名を揚たまへり
21 You brought Your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and with great terror.
汝は休徴と奇跡と強き手と伸たる腕と大なる怖しき事をもて汝の民イスラエルをエジプトの地より導きいだし
22 You gave them this land that You had sworn to give their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.
この地を彼らにたまへり是即ち汝がかれらの先祖等に與へんと誓ひたまひし乳と蜜の流るる地なり
23 They came in and possessed it, but they did not obey Your voice or walk in Your law. They failed to perform all that You commanded them to do, and so You have brought upon them all this disaster.
彼等すなはち入てこれを獲たりしかども汝の聲に遵はず汝の例典を行はず凡て汝がなせと命じたまひし事を爲ざりしによりて汝この災を其上にくだらしむ
24 See how the siege ramps are mounted against the city to capture it. And by sword and famine and plague, the city has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it. What You have spoken has happened, as You now see!
みよ壘成れり是この邑を取んとて來れるなり劍と饑饉と疫病のためにこの邑は之を攻むるカルデヤ人の手に付さる汝のいひたまひしことば旣に成れり汝之を見たまふなり
25 Yet You, O Lord GOD, have said to me, ‘Buy for yourself the field with silver and call in witnesses, even though the city has been delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans!’”
主ヱホバよ汝われに銀をもて田地を買へ證人を立よといひたまへり然るにこの邑はカルデヤ人の手に付さる
26 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
時にヱホバの言ヱレミヤに臨みていふ
27 “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too difficult for Me?
みよ我はヱホバなりすべて血氣ある者の神なり我に爲す能はざるところあらんや
28 Therefore this is what the LORD says: Behold, I am about to deliver this city into the hands of the Chaldeans and of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who will capture it.
故にヱホバかくいふ視よわれ此邑をカルデヤ人の手とバビロンの王ネブカデネザルの手に付さん彼これを取るべし
29 And the Chaldeans who are fighting against this city will come in, set it on fire, and burn it, along with the houses of those who provoked Me to anger by burning incense to Baal on their rooftops and by pouring out drink offerings to other gods.
この邑を攻るところのカルデヤ人きたり火をこの邑に放ちて之を焚ん屋蓋のうへにて人がバアルに香を焚き他の神に酒をそそぎて我を怒らせしその屋をも彼ら亦焚ん
30 For the children of Israel and of Judah have done nothing but evil in My sight from their youth; indeed, they have done nothing but provoke Me to anger by the work of their hands, declares the LORD.
そはイスラエルの子孫とユダの子孫はその幼少時よりわが前に惡き事のみをなしまたイスラエルの民はその手の作爲をもて我をいからする事のみをなしたればなりヱホバ之をいふ
31 For this city has aroused My wrath and fury from the day it was built until now. Therefore I will remove it from My presence
此邑はその建し日より今日にいたるまで我震怒を惹き我憤恨をおこすところの者なれば我前よりわれ之を除かんとするなり
32 because of all the evil the children of Israel and of Judah have done to provoke Me to anger—they, their kings, their officials, their priests and prophets, the men of Judah, and the residents of Jerusalem.
こはイスラエルの民とユダの民諸の惡を行ひて我を怒らせしによりてなり彼らその王等その牧伯等その祭司その預言者およびユダの人々とヱルサレムに住る者皆然なせり
33 They have turned their backs to Me and not their faces. Though I taught them again and again, they would not listen or respond to discipline.
彼ら背を我にむけて面を我にむけずわれ彼らををしへ頻に敎ふれどもかれらは敎をきかずしてうけざるなり
34 They have placed their abominations in the house that bears My Name, and so have defiled it.
彼らは憎むべき物をわが名をもて稱へらるる室にたてて之を汚し
35 They have built the high places of Baal in the Valley of Hinnom to make their sons and daughters pass through the fire to Molech—something I never commanded them, nor had it ever entered My mind, that they should commit such an abomination and cause Judah to sin.
又ベンヒンノムの谷にあるバアルの崇邱を築きその子女をモロクに献げたりわれは彼らにこの憎むべきことを行ひてユダに罪を犯さしむることを命ぜず斯る事は我心におこらざりしなり
36 Now therefore, about this city of which you say, ‘It will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword and famine and plague,’ this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says:
いまイスラエルの神ヱホバこの邑すなはち汝らが劍と饑饉と疫病のためにバビロン王の手に付されんといひしところの邑につきて斯いひたまふ
37 I will surely gather My people from all the lands to which I have banished them in My furious anger and great wrath, and I will return them to this place and make them dwell in safety.
みよわれ我震怒と憤恨と大なる怒をもて彼らを逐やりし諸の國より彼らを集め此處に導きかへりて安然に居らしめん
38 They will be My people, and I will be their God.
彼らは我民となり我は彼らの神とならん
39 I will give them one heart and one way, so that they will always fear Me for their own good and for the good of their children after them.
われ彼らに一の心と一の途をあたへて常に我を畏れしめんこは彼らと其子孫とに福をえせしめん爲なり
40 I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never turn away from doing good to them, and I will put My fear in their hearts, so that they will never turn away from Me.
われ彼らを棄ずして恩を施すべしといふ永遠の契約をかれらにたて我を畏るるの畏をかれらの心におきて我を離れざらしめん
41 Yes, I will rejoice in doing them good, and I will faithfully plant them in this land with all My heart and with all My soul.
われ悦びて彼らに恩を施し心を盡し精神をつくして誠に彼らを此地に植べし
42 For this is what the LORD says: Just as I have brought all this great disaster on this people, so I will bring on them all the good I have promised them.
ヱホバかくいひたまふわれ此諸の大なる災をこの民に降せしごとくわがかれらに言し諸の福を彼等に降さん
43 And fields will be bought in this land about which you are saying, ‘It is a desolation, without man or beast; it has been delivered into the hands of the Chaldeans.’
人衆この地に田野を買はん是汝等が荒て人も畜もなきにいたりカルデヤ人の手に付されしといへる地なり
44 Fields will be purchased with silver, and deeds will be signed, sealed, and witnessed in the land of Benjamin, in the areas surrounding Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah—the cities of the hill country, the foothills, and the Negev—because I will restore them from captivity, declares the LORD.”
人衆ベニヤミンの地とヱルサレムの四周とユダの邑々と山の邑々と平地の邑々と南の方の邑々において銀をもて田野をかひ契劵を書きてこれに封印し又證人をたてんそは我かの俘囚者を歸らしむればなりとヱホバいひたまふ
