Jeremias 14
1 AND THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME TO JEREMIAS CONCERNING THE DROUGHT.
乾旱の事につきてヱレミヤにのぞみしヱホバの言は左のごとし
2 Judea has mourned, and her gates are emptied, and are darkened upon the earth; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
ユダは悲むその門は傾き地にたふれて哭くヱルサレムの咷は上る
3 And her nobles have sent their little ones to the water: they came to the wells, and found no water: and brought back their vessels empty.
その侯伯等は僕をつかはして水を汲しむ彼ら井にいたれども水を見ず空き器をもちて歸り恥かつ憂へてその首をおほふ
4 And the labours of the land failed, because there was no rain: the husbandmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.
地に雨ふらずして土燥裂たるにより農夫は恥て首を掩ふ
5 And hinds calved in the field, and forsook [it], because there was no grass.
また野にある麀は子をうみて之を棄つ草なければなり
6 The wild asses stood by the forests, and snuffed up the wind; their eyes failed, because there was no grass.
野の驢馬は童山のうへにたちて山犬のごとく喘ぎ草なきによりて目眩む
7 Our sins have risen up against us: O Lord, do you for us for your own sake; for our sins are many before you; for we have sinned against you.
ヱホバよ我儕の罪われらを訟へて證をなすとも願くは汝の名の爲に事をなし給へ我儕の違背はおほいなり我儕汝に罪を犯したり
8 O Lord, [you are] the hope of Israel, and deliver [us] in time of troubles; why are you become as a sojourner upon the land, or as one born in the land, yet turning aside for a resting-place?
イスラエルの企望なる者その艱るときに救ひたまふ者よ汝いかなれば此地に於て他邦人のごとくし一夜寄宿の旅客のごとくしたまふや
9 Will you be as a man asleep, or as a [strong] man that can’t save? yet you are amongst us, O Lord, and your name is called upon us; forget us not.
汝いかなれば呆てをる人のごとくし救をなすこと能はざる勇士のごとくしたまふやヱホバよ汝は我らの間にいます我儕は汝の名をもて稱へらるる者なり我らを棄たまふ勿れ
10 Thus says the Lord to this people, They have loved to wander, and they have not spared, therefore God has not prospered them; now will he remember their iniquity.
ヱホバこの民にかくいひたまへり彼らかく好んでさまよひ其足を禁めざればヱホバ彼らを悦ばずいまその愆をおぼえ其罪を罰すべし
11 And the Lord said to me, Pray not for this people for [their] good:
ヱホバまた我にいひたまひけるは汝この民のために恩をいのる勿れ
12 for though they fast, I will not hear their supplication; and though they offer whole burnt offerings and sacrifices, I will take no pleasure in them: for I will consume them with sword, and with famine, and with pestilence.
彼ら斷食するとも我その呼龥をきかず燔祭と素祭を献るとも我これをうけず却てわれ劍と饑饉と疫病をもて彼らを滅すべし
13 And I said, O [ever] living Lord! behold, their prophets prophesy, and say, You shall not see a sword, nor shall famine be amongst you; for I will give truth and peace on the land, and in this place.
われいひけるは嗚呼主ヱホバよみよ預言者たちはこの民にむかひ汝ら劍を見ざるべし饑饉は汝らにきたらじわれ此處に鞏固なる平安を汝らにあたへんといへり
14 Then the Lord said to me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, and I commanded them not, and I spoke not to them: for they prophesy to you false visions, and divinations, and auguries, and devices of their own heart.
ヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは預言者等は我名をもて詭を預言せりわれ之を遣さず之に命ぜずまた之にいはず彼らは虛誕の默示と卜筮と虛きことと己の心の詐を汝らに預言せり
15 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the prophets that prophesy lies in my name, and I sent them not, who say, Sword and famine shall not be upon this land; they shall die by a grievous death, and the prophets shall be consumed by famine.
この故にかの吾が遣さざるに我名をもて預言して劍と饑饉はこの地にきたらじといへる預言者等につきてヱホバかくいふこの預言者等は劍と饑饉に滅さるべし
16 And the people to whom they prophesy, they also shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, because of the sword and famine; and there shall be none to bury them: their wives also, and their sons, and their daughters [shall die thus]; and I will pour out their wickedness upon them.
また彼等の預言をうけし民は饑饉と劍によりてヱルサレムの街に擲棄られんこれを葬る者なかるべし彼等とその妻および其子その女みな然りそはわれ彼らの惡をその上に斟げばなり
17 And you shall speak this word to them; Let your eyes shed tears day and night, and let them not cease: for the daughter of my people has been sorely bruised, and her plague is very grievous.
汝この言を彼らに語るべしわが目は夜も晝もたえず涙を流さんそは我民の童女大なる滅と重き傷によりて亡さるればなり
18 If I go forth into the plain, then behold the slain by the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold the distress of famine! for priest and prophet have gone to a land which they knew not.
われ出て畑にゆくに劍に死る者あり我邑にいるに饑饉に艱むものあり預言者も祭司もみなその地にさまよひて知ところなし
19 Hast you utterly rejected Juda? and has your soul departed from Sion? therefore has you struck us, and there is no healing for us? we waited for peace, but there was no prosperity; for a time of healing, and behold trouble!
汝はユダを悉くすてたまふや汝の心はシオンをきらふや汝いかなれば我儕を撃て愈しめざるか我ら平安を望めども善ことあらず又醫さるる時を望むに却て驚懼あり
20 We know, O Lord, our sins, [and] the iniquities of our fathers: for we have sinned before you.
ヱホバよ我らはおのれの惡と先祖の愆を知るわれら汝に罪を犯したり
21 Refrain for your name's sake, destroy not the throne of your glory: remember, break not your covenant with us.
汝の名のために我らを棄たまふ勿れ汝の榮の位を辱めたまふ勿れ汝のわれらに立し契約をおぼえて毀りたまふなかれ
22 Is there any one amongst the idols of the Gentiles that can give rain? and will the sky yield his fulness [at their bidding]? Are not you he? we will even wait on you, O Lord: for you have made all these things.
異邦の虛き物の中に雨を降せうるものあるや天みづから白雨をくだすをえんや我らの神ヱホバ汝これを爲したまふにあらずや我ら汝を望むそは汝すべて此等を悉く作りたまひたればなり
