Jeremiah 13
1 This is what the Lord said to me: Go and get yourself a linen band and put it round you and do not put it in water.
ヱホバかくいひたまへり汝ゆきて麻の帶をかひ汝の腰にむすべ水に入る勿れ
2 So, as the Lord said, I got a band for a price and put it round my body.
われすなはちヱホバの言に遵ひ帶をかひてわが腰にむすべり
3 And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying,
ヱホバの言ふたたび我にのぞみて云ふ
4 Take the band which you got for a price, which is round your body, and go to Parah and put it in a secret place there in a hole of the rock.
汝が買て腰にむすべる帶を取り起てユフラテにゆき彼處にてこれを磐の穴にかくせと
5 So I went and put it in a secret place by Parah, as the Lord had said to me.
ここに於てわれヱホバの命じたまひし如く往てこれをユフラテの涯にかくせり
6 Then after a long time, the Lord said to me, Up! go to Parah and get the band which I gave you orders to put there.
おほくの日を經しのちヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは起てユフラテにゆきわが汝に命じて彼處にかくさしめし帶を取れと
7 So I went to Parah and, uncovering the hole, took the band from the place where I had put it away: and the band was damaged and of no use for anything.
われすなはちユフラテにゆき帶を我隱せしところより掘取りしにその帶は朽て用ふるにたへず
8 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
またヱホバの言われにのぞみて云ふ
9 The Lord has said, In this way I will do damage to the pride of Judah and to the great pride of Jerusalem.
ヱホバかくいふ我かくの如くユダの驕傲とヱルサレムの大なる驕傲をやぶらん
10 These evil people who say they will not give ear to my words, who go on in the pride of their hearts and have become servants and worshippers of other gods, will become like this band which is of no use for anything.
この惡き民はわが言を聽ことをこばみ己の心の剛愎なるにしたがひて行み且他の神に從ひてこれにつかへ之を拜す彼等は此帶の用ふるにたへざるが如くなるべし
11 For as a band goes tightly round a man's body, so I made all the people of Israel and all the people of Judah tightly united to me; so that they might be a people for me and a name and a praise and a glory: but they would not give ear.
ヱホバいふ帶の人の腰に附がごとくわれイスラエルのすべての家とユダのすべての家を我に附しめ之を我民となし名となし譽となし榮となさんとせり然るに彼等はきかざりき
12 So you are to say this word to them: This is the word of the Lord, the God of Israel: Every skin bottle will be full of wine; and they will say to you, Is it not quite clear to us that every skin bottle will be full of wine?
故に汝この言を彼らに語るべしイスラエルの神ヱホバかくいふ酒壺には皆酒盈つと彼汝にこたへていはん我儕豈酒壺に酒の盈ることを知ざらんやと
13 Then you are to say to them, The Lord has said, I will make all the people of this land, even the kings seated on David's seat, and the priests and the prophets and all the people of Jerusalem, overcome with strong drink.
其時汝かれらにいふべしヱホバかくいふみよわれ此地に住るすべての者とダビデの位に坐する王等と祭司と預言者およびヱルサレムに住るすべての者に醉を盈せ
14 I will have them smashed against one another, fathers and sons together, says the Lord: I will have no pity or mercy, I will have no feeling for them to keep me from giving them to destruction.
彼らを此と彼と打あはせて碎かん父と子をも然すべしわれ彼らを恤まず惜まず憐まずして滅さん
15 Give ear and let your ears be open; be not lifted up: for these are the words of the Lord.
汝らきけ耳を傾けよ驕る勿れヱホバかたりたまふなり
16 Give glory to the Lord your God, before he makes it dark, and before your feet are slipping on the dark mountains, and, while you are looking for a light, he makes it into deep dark, into black night.
汝らの神ヱホバに其いまだ暗を起したまはざる先汝らの足のくらき山に躓かざる先に榮光を皈すべし汝ら光明を望まんにヱホバ之を死の蔭に變へ之を昏黑となしたまふにいたらん
17 But if you do not give ear to it, my soul will be weeping in secret for your pride; my eye will be weeping bitterly, streaming with water, because the Lord's flock has been taken away as prisoners.
汝ら若これを聽ずば我靈魂は汝らの驕を隱なるところに悲まん又ヱホバの群の掠めらるるによりて我目いたく泣て涙をながすべし
18 Say to the king and to the queen-mother, Make yourselves low, be seated on the earth: for the crown of your glory has come down from your heads.
なんぢ王と大后につげよ汝ら自ら謙りて坐せそはなんぢらの美しき冕汝らの首より落べければなり
19 The towns of the south are shut up, and there is no one to make them open: Judah is taken away as prisoners; all Judah is taken away as prisoners.
南の諸邑は閉てこれを啓く人なしユダは皆擄移され盡くとらへ移さる
20 Let your eyes be lifted up (O Jerusalem), and see those who are coming from the north. Where is the flock which was given to you, your beautiful flock?
汝ら目を擧げて北より來る者をみよ汝らが賜はりし群汝のうるはしき群はいづこにあるや
21 What will you say when he puts over you those whom you yourself have made your friends? will not pains take you like a woman in childbirth?
かれ汝の親み馴たる者を汝の上にたてて首領となさんとき汝何のいふべきことあらんや汝の痛は子をうむ婦のごとくならざらんや
22 And if you say in your heart, Why have these things come on me? because of the number of your sins, your skirts have been uncovered and violent punishment overtakes you.
汝心のうちに何故にこの事我にきたるやといふか汝の罪の重によりて汝の裾は掲げられなんぢの踵はあらはさるるなり
23 Is it possible for the skin of the Ethiopian to be changed, or the markings on the leopard? Then it might be possible for you to do good, who have been trained to do evil.
エテオピア人その膚をかへうるか豹その斑駁をかへうるか若これを爲しえば惡に慣たる汝らも善をなし得べし
24 So I will send them in all directions, as dry grass is taken away by the wind of the waste land.
故にわれ彼らを散して野の風に吹散さるる皮壳のごとくせん
25 This is your fate, the part measured out to you by me, says the Lord, because you have put me out of your memory and put your faith in what is false.
ヱホバいひたまふこは汝の得べき分わが量て汝にあたふる產業なり汝我をわすれて虛假を依賴ばなり
26 So I will have your skirts uncovered before your face, in order that your shame may be seen.
故にわれ汝の前の裳を剥ぎて汝の羞恥をあらはさん
27 I have seen your disgusting acts, even your false behaviour and your cries of desire and your loose ways on the hills in the field. Unhappy are you, O Jerusalem, you have no desire to be made clean; how long will you be in turning back to me?
われ汝の姦淫と汝の嘶と汝が岡のうへと野になせし汝の亂淫の罪と汝の憎むべき行をみたりヱルサレムよ汝は禍なるかな汝の潔くせらるるには尚いくばくの時を經べきや
