Lamentations 2
1 How has the daughter of Zion been covered with a cloud by the Lord in his wrath! he has sent down from heaven to earth the glory of Israel, and has not kept in memory the resting-place of his feet in the day of his wrath.
ああヱホバ震怒をおこし 黑雲をもてシオンの女を蔽ひたまひ イスラエルの榮光を天より地におとし その震怒の日に己の足凳を心にとめたまはざりき
2 The Lord has given up to destruction all the living-places of Jacob without pity; pulling down in his wrath the strong places of the daughter of Judah, stretching out on the earth the wounded, even her king and her rulers.
主ヤコブのすべての住居を呑つくしてあはれまず 震怒によりてユダの女の保砦を毀ち これを地にたふし その國とその牧伯等を辱かしめ
3 In his burning wrath every horn of Israel has been cut off; his right hand has been turned back before the attacker: he has put a fire in Jacob, causing destruction round about.
烈しき震怒をもてイスラエルのすべての角を絶ち 敵の前にて己の右の手をひきちぢめ 四面を焚きつくす燃る火のごとくヤコブを焚き
4 His bow has been bent for the attack, he has taken his place with his hand ready, in his hate he has put to death all who were pleasing to the eye: on the tent of the daughter of Zion he has let loose his passion like fire.
敵のごとく弓を張り 仇のごとく右の手を挺て立ち 凡て目に喜こばしきものを滅し シオンの女の幕屋に火のごとくその怒をそそぎたまへり
5 The Lord has become like one fighting against her, sending destruction on Israel; he has sent destruction on all her great houses, making waste his strong places: increasing the grief and the sorrow of the daughter of Judah.
主敵のごとくに成たまひてイスラエルを呑ほろぼし その諸の殿を呑ほろぼし そのもろもろの保砦をこぼち ユダの女の上に憂愁と悲哀を増くはへ
6 And he has violently taken away his tent, as from a garden; he has made waste his meeting-place: the Lord has taken away the memory of feast and Sabbath in Zion, and in the passion of his wrath he is against king and priest.
園のごとく己の幕屋を荒し その集會の所をほろぼしたまへり ヱホバ節會と安息日とをシオンに忘れしめ 烈しき怒によりて王と祭司とをいやしめ棄たまへり
7 The Lord has given up his altar and has been turned in hate from his holy place; he has given up into the hands of the attacker the walls of her great houses: their voices have been loud in the house of the Lord as in the day of a holy meeting.
主その祭壇を忌棄て その聖所を嫌ひ憎みて その諸の殿の石垣を敵の手にわたしたまへり 彼らは節會の日のごとくヱホバの室にて聲をたつ
8 It is the Lord's purpose to make waste the wall of the daughter of Zion; his line has been stretched out, he has not kept back his hand from destruction: he has sent sorrow on tower and wall, they have become feeble together.
ヱホバ、シオンの女の石垣を毀たんと思ひさだめ 繩を張り こぼち進みてその手をひかず 壕と石垣とをして哀しましめたまふ 是らは共に憂ふ
9 Her doors have gone down into the earth; he has sent destruction on her locks: her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is not; even her prophets have had no vision from the Lord.
その門は地に埋もれ ヱホバその關木をこぼちくだき その王ともろもろの牧伯は律法なき國人の中にあり その預言者はヱホバより異象を蒙らず
10 The responsible men of the daughter of Zion are seated on the earth without a word; they have put dust on their heads, they are clothed in haircloth: the heads of the virgins of Jerusalem are bent down to the earth.
シオンの女の長老等は地に坐りて默し 首に灰をかむり 身に麻をまとふ ヱルサレムの處女は首を地に低る
11 My eyes are wasted with weeping, the inmost parts of my body are deeply moved, my inner parts are drained out on the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because of the young children and babies at the breast who are falling without strength in the open squares of the town.
わが目は涙の爲に潰れんとし わが膓は沸かへり わが肝は地に塗る わが民の女ほろぼされ 幼少ものや乳哺子は疲れはてて邑の街衢に氣息たへなんとすればなり
12 They say to their mothers, Where is grain and wine? when they are falling like the wounded in the open squares of the town, when their life is drained out on their mother's breast.
かれらは疵を負る者の如く邑のちまたにて氣息たえなんとし 母の懐にその靈魂をそそがんとし 母にむかひて言ふ 穀物と酒とはいづくにあるやと
13 What example am I to give you? what comparison am I to make for you, O daughter of Jerusalem? what am I to make equal to you, so that I may give you comfort, O virgin daughter of Zion? for your destruction is great like the sea: who is able to make you well?
ヱルサレムの女よ 我なにをもて汝にあかしし 何をもて汝にならべんや シオンの處女よ われ何をもて汝になぞらへて汝をなぐさめんや 汝のやぶれは海のごとく大なり 嗟たれか能く汝を醫さんや
14 The visions which your prophets have seen for you are false and foolish; they have not made clear to you your sin so that your fate might be changed: but they have seen for you false words, driving you away.
なんぢの預言者は虚しき事と愚なることとなんぢに預言し かつて汝の不義をあらはしてその俘囚をまぬかれしめんとはせざりき その預言するところは唯むなしき重荷および追放たるる根本となるべき事のみ
15 All who go by make a noise with their hands at you; they make hisses, shaking their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem, and saying, Is this the town which was the crown of everything beautiful, the joy of all the earth?
すべて往來の人なんぢにむかひて手を拍ち ヱルサレムの女にむかひて嘲りわらひ かつ頭をふりて言ふ 美麗の極全地の欣喜ととなへたりし邑は是なるかと
16 All your haters are opening their mouths wide against you; making hisses and whistling through their teeth, they say, We have made a meal of her: certainly this is the day we have been looking for; it has come, we have seen it.
なんぢのもろもろの敵はなんぢに對ひて口を開け あざけり笑ひて切齒をなす 斯て言ふわれら之を呑つくしたり 是われらが望みたりし日なり 我ら已に之にあへり 我らすでに之を見たりと
17 The Lord has done that which was his purpose; he has put into force the orders which he gave in the days which are past; pulling down without pity, he has made your hater glad over you, lifting up the horn of those who were against you.
ヱホバはその定めたまへることを成し いにしへより其命じたまひし言を果したまへり ヱホバはほろぼして憐れまず 敵をして汝にかちほこらしめ汝の仇の角をたかくしたまへり
18 Let your cry go up to the Lord: O wall of the daughter of Zion, let your weeping be flowing down like a stream day and night; give yourself no rest, let not your eyes keep back the drops of sorrow.
かれらの心は主にむかひて呼はれり シオンの女の墻垣よ なんぢ夜も晝も河の如く涙をながせ みづから安んずることをせず 汝の瞳子を休むることなかれ
19 Up! give cries in the night, at the starting of the night-watches; let your heart be flowing out like water before the face of the Lord, lifting up your hands to him for the life of your young children who are falling down, feeble for need of food, at the top of every street.
なんぢ夜の初更に起いでて呼さけべ 主の御前に汝の心を水のごとく灌げ 街衢のほとりに饑たふるるなんぢの幼兒の生命のために主にむかひて兩手をあげよ
20 Look! O Lord, see to whom you have done this! Are the women to take as their food the fruit of their bodies, the children who are folded in their arms? are the priest and the prophet to be put to death in the holy place of the Lord?
ヱホバよ視たまへ 汝これを誰におこなひしか 願はくは顧みたまへ 婦人おのが實なるその懷き育てし孩兒を食ふべけんや 祭司預言者等主の聖所において殺さるべけんや
21 The young men and the old are stretched on the earth in the streets; my virgins and my young men have been put to the sword: you have sent death on them in the day of your wrath, causing death without pity.
をさなきも老たるも街衢にて地に臥し わが處女も若き男も刄にかかりて斃れたり なんぢはその震怒の日にこれを殺し これを屠りて恤れみたまはざりき
22 As in the day of a holy meeting you have made fears come round me on every side, and no one got away or was kept safe in the day of the Lord's wrath: those who were folded in my arms, whom I took care of, have been sent to their destruction by my hater.
なんぢ節會の日のごとくわが懼るるところの者を四方より呼あつめたまへり ヱホバの震怒の日には遁れたる者なく又のこりたる者なかりき わが懷き育てし者はみなわが敵のためにほろぼされたり
