Jeremias 6
1 Strengthen yourselves, ye children of Benjamin, [to flee] out of the midst of Jerusalem, and sound an alarm with the trumpet in Thecue, and set up a signal over Baethacharma: for evil threatens from the north, and a great destruction is coming.
ベニヤミンの子等よヱルサレムの中より逃れテコアに箛をふきベテハケレムに合圖の火をあげよそは北より災と大なる敗壞のぞめばなり
2 And [thy] pride, O daughter of Sion, shall be taken away.
われ美しき窈窕なるシオンの女を滅さん
3 The shepherds and their flocks shall come to her; and they shall pitch [their] tents against her round about, and shall feed [their flocks] each with his hand.
牧者は其群を牽て此處にきたりその周圍に天幕をはらん群はおのおのその處にて草を食はん
4 Prepare yourselves for war against her; rise up, and let us go up against her at noon. Woe to us! for the day has gone down, for the shadows of the day fail.
汝ら戰端を開きて之を攻べし起よわれら日午にのぼらん嗚呼惜かな日ははや昃き夕日の影長くなれり
5 Rise, and let us go up against her by night, and destroy her foundations.
起よわれら夜の間にのぼりてその諸の殿舍を毀たん
6 For thus saith the Lord, Hew down her trees, array a numerous force against Jerusalem. O false city; [there is] all oppression in her.
萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまへり汝ら樹をきりヱルサレムに向ひて壘を築けこれは罰すべき邑なりその中には唯暴逆のみあり
7 As a cistern cools water, so her wickedness cools her, ungodliness and misery shall be heard in her, [as] continually before her.
源の水をいだすがごとく彼その惡を流すその中に暴逆と威虐きこゆ我前に憂と傷たえず
8 Thou shalt be chastened, O Jerusalem, with pain and the scourge, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee a desert land, which shall not be inhabited.
ヱルサレムよ汝訓戒をうけよ然らざれば我心汝をはなれ汝を荒蕪となし住む人なき地となさん
9 For thus saith the Lord, Glean, glean thoroughly as a vine the remnant of Israel: turn back [your hands] as a grape-gatherer to his basket.
萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふ彼らは葡萄の遺餘を摘みとるごとくイスラエルの遺れる者を摘とらん汝葡萄を摘取者のごとく屢手を筐に入るべし
10 To whom shall I speak, and testify, that he may hearken? behold, thine ears are uncircumcised, and they shall not be able to hear: behold, the word of the Lord is become to them a reproach, they will not at all desire it.
我たれに語り誰を警めてきかしめんや視よその耳は割禮をうけざるによりて聽えず彼らはヱホバの言を嘲りこれを悦ばず
11 And I allowed my wrath to come to full, yet I kept [it] in, and did not utterly destroy them: I will pour it out on the children without, and on the assembly of young men together: for man and woman shall be taken together, the old man with him that is full of days.
ヱホバの怒わが身に充つわれ忍ぶに倦むこれを衢街にある童子と集れる年少者とに泄すべし夫も婦も老たる者も年邁し者も執へらるるにいたらん
12 And their houses shall be turned to others, [with] their fields and their wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of this land, saith the Lord.
その家と田地と妻はともに佗人にわたらん其はわれ手を擧てこの地に住る者を撃ばなりとヱホバいひたまふ
13 For from the least of them even to the greatest they have all committed iniquity; from the priest even to the false prophet they have all wrought falsely.
夫彼らは少さき者より大なる者にいたるまで皆貪婪者なり又預言者より祭司にいたるまで皆詭詐をなす者なればなり
14 And they healed the breach of my people [imperfectly], making light [of it], and saying, Peace, peace, and where is peace?
かれら淺く我民の女の傷を醫し平康からざる時に平康平康といへり
15 They were ashamed because they failed; yet they were not ashamed as those who are [truly] ashamed, and they knew not their own disgrace: therefore shall they [utterly] fall when they do fall, and in the time of visitation shall they perish, said the Lord.
彼らは憎むべき事を爲て恥辱をうくれども毫も恥ずまた愧を知らずこの故に彼らは傾仆るる者と偕にたふれん我來るとき彼ら躓かんとヱホバいひたまふ
16 Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths of the Lord; and see what is the good way, and walk in it, and ye shall find purification for your souls. But they said, We will not walk [in them].
ヱホバかくいひたまふ汝ら途に立て見古き徑に就て何か善道なるを尋ねて其途に行めさらば汝らの靈魂安を得ん然ど彼らこたへて我儕はそれに行まじといふ
17 I have set watchmen over you, [saying], Hear ye the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hear [it].
我また汝らの上に守望者をたて箛の聲をきけといへり然ど彼等こたへて我儕は聞じといふ
18 Therefore have the nations heard, and they that feed their flocks.
故に萬國の民よきけ會衆よかれらの遇ところを知れ
19 Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evils upon this people, [even] the fruit of their rebellions; for they have not heeded my words, and they have rejected my law.
地よきけわれ災をこの民にくださんこは彼らの思の結ぶ果なりかれら我言とわが律法をきかずして之を棄るによる
20 Wherefore do ye bring me frankincense from Saba, and cinnamon from a land afar off? your whole-burnt-offerings are not acceptable, and your sacrifices have not been pleasant to me.
シバより我許に乳香きたり遠き國より菖蒲きたるは何のためぞやわれは汝らの燔祭をよろこばず汝らの犠牲を甘しとせず
21 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I [will] bring weakness upon this people, and the fathers and sons shall be weak together; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.
故にヱホバかくいひたまふみよ我この民の前に躓礙をおく父と子とそれに蹶き隣人とその友偕に滅ぶべし
22 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, a people comes from the north, and nations shall be stirred up from the end of the earth.
ヱホバかくいひたまふみよ民北の國よりきたる大なる民地の極より起る
23 They shall lay hold on bow and spear; [the people] is fierce, and will have no mercy; their voice is as the roaring sea; they shall array themselves for war against thee as fire on horses and chariots, O daughter of Sion.
彼らは弓と槍をとる殘忍にして憫なしその聲は海の如く鳴るシオンの女よかれらは馬に乗り軍人のごとく身をよろひて汝を攻めん
24 We have heard the report of them: our hands are weakened: anguish has seized us, the pangs as of a woman in travail.
我儕その風聲をききたれば我儕の手弱り子をうむ婦のごとき苦痛と劬勞われらに迫る
25 Go not forth into the field, and walk not in the ways; for the sword of the enemy lingers round about.
汝ら田地に出る勿れまた路に行むなかれ敵の劍と畏怖四方にあればなり
26 O daughter of my people, gird thyself with sackcloth: sprinkle [thyself] with ashes; make for thyself pitiable lamentation, [as] the mourning for a beloved [son]: for misery will come suddenly upon you.
我民の女よ麻衣を身にまとひ灰のうちにまろび獨子を喪ひしごとくに哀みていたく哭けそは毀滅者突然に我らに來るべければなり
27 I have caused thee to be tried among tried nations, and thou shalt know me when I have tried their way.
われ汝を民のうちに立て金を驗る者のごとくなし又城のごとくなすこは汝をしてその途を知しめまた試みしめんためなり
28 [They are] all disobedient, walking perversely: [they are] brass and iron; they are all corrupted.
彼らは皆いたく悖れる者なり歩行て人を謗る者なり彼らは銅のごとく鐵のごとし皆邪なる者なり
29 The bellows have failed from the fire, the lead has failed: the silversmith works at his trade in vain; their wickedness is not consumed.
韛は火に焚け鉛はつき鎔匠はいたづらに鎔す惡者いまだ除かれざればなり
30 Call ye them reprobate silver, because the Lord has rejected them.
ヱホバ彼らを棄たまふによりて彼等は棄られたる銀と呼ばれん
