Jeremiah 1
1 These are the words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, one of the priests in Anathoth in the territory of Benjamin.
こはベニヤミンの地アナトテの祭司の一人なるヒルキヤの子ヱレミヤの言なり
2 The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah in the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah,
アモンの子ユダの王ヨシヤの時すなはちその治世の十三年にヱホバの言ヱレミヤに臨めり
3 and through the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, until the fifth month of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah king of Judah, when the people of Jerusalem went into exile.
その言またヨシヤの子ユダの王ヱホヤキムの時にものぞみてヨシヤの子ユダの王ゼデキヤの十一年のをはり即ちその年の五月ヱルサレムの民の移されたる時までにいたれり
4 The word of the LORD came to me, saying:
ヱホバの言我にのぞみて云ふ
5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
われ汝を腹につくらざりし先に汝をしり汝が胎をいでざりし先に汝を聖め汝をたてて萬國の預言者となせりと
6 “Ah, Lord GOD,” I said, “I surely do not know how to speak, for I am only a child!”
我こたへけるは噫主ヱホバよ視よわれは幼少により語ることを知らず
7 But the LORD told me: “Do not say, ‘I am only a child.’ For to everyone I send you, you must go, and all that I command you, you must speak.
ヱホバわれにいひたまひけるは汝われは幼少といふ勿れすべて我汝を遣すところにゆき我汝に命ずるすべてのことを語るべし
8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you,”
なんぢ彼等の面を畏るる勿れ蓋われ汝と偕にありて汝をすくふべければなりとヱホバいひたまへり
9 Then the LORD reached out His hand, touched my mouth, and said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
ヱホバ遂にその手をのべて我口につけヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは視よわれ我言を汝の口にいれたり
10 See, I have appointed you today over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and plant.”
みよ我けふ汝を萬民のうへと萬國のうへにたて汝をして或は抜き或は毀ち或は滅し或は覆し或は建て或は植しめん
11 And the word of the LORD came to me, asking, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” “I see a branch of an almond tree,” I replied.
ヱホバの言また我に臨みていふヱレミヤよ汝何をみるや我こたへけるは巴旦杏の枝をみる
12 “You have observed correctly,” said the LORD, “for I am watching over My word to accomplish it.”
ヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは汝善く見たりそはわれ速に我言をなさんとすればなり
13 Again the word of the LORD came to me, asking, “What do you see?” “I see a boiling pot,” I replied, “and it is tilting toward us from the north.”
ヱホバの言ふたたび我に臨みていふ汝何をみるや我こたへけるは沸騰たる鑊をみるその面は北より此方に向ふ
14 Then the LORD said to me, “Disaster from the north will be poured out on all who live in the land.
ヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは災北よりおこりてこの地に住るすべての者にきたらん
15 For I am about to summon all the clans and kingdoms of the north,” declares the LORD. “Their kings will come and set up their thrones at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem. They will attack all her surrounding walls and all the other cities of Judah.
ヱホバいひたまひけるはわれ北の國々のすべての族をよばん彼等きたりてヱルサレムの門の入口とその周圍のすべての石垣およびユダのすべての邑々に向ひておのおのその座を設けん
16 I will pronounce My judgments against them for all their wickedness, because they have forsaken Me to burn incense to other gods and to worship the works of their own hands.
われかれらの凡の惡事のために我鞫をかれにつげん是はかれら我をすてて別の神に香を焚きおのれの手にて作りし物を拝するによる
17 Get yourself ready. Stand up and tell them everything that I command you. Do not be intimidated by them, or I will terrify you before them.
汝腰に帶して起ちわが汝に命ずるすべての事を彼等につげよその面を畏るる勿れ否らざれば我かれらの前に汝を辱かしめん
18 Now behold, this day I have made you like a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the land.
視よわれ今日この全國とユダの王とその牧伯とその祭司とその地の民の前に汝を堅き城 鐵の柱 銅の牆となせり
19 They will fight against you but will never overcome you, since I am with you to deliver you,” declares the LORD.
彼等なんぢと戰はんとするも汝に勝ざるべしそはわれ汝とともにありて汝をすくふべければなりとヱホバいひたまへり
