Jeremiah 32
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah, the king of Judah. The same is the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
ユダの王ゼデキヤの十年即ちネブカデネザルの十八年の頃ヱホバの言ヱレミヤにのぞめり
2 It was then that the army of the king of Babylon besieged Jerusalem. And Jeremiah, the prophet, was confined to the atrium of the prison, which was in the house of the king of Judah.
その時バビロンの軍勢ヱルサレムを攻環み居て預言者ヱレミヤはユダの王の室にある獄の庭の内に禁錮られたり
3 For Zedekiah, the king of Judah, had confined him, saying: “Why do you make predictions, saying: ‘Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it?
ユダの王ゼデキヤ彼を禁錮ていひけるは汝何故に預言してヱホバかく云たまふといふや云く視よ我この邑をバビロン王の手に付さん彼之を取るべし
4 And Zedekiah, the king of Judah, will not escape from the hand of the Chaldeans. Instead, he will be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon. And he will speak to him, mouth to mouth, and he will see him, eye to eye.
またユダの王ゼデキヤはカルデヤ人の手より脱れず必ずバビロン王の手に付され口と口とあひ語り目と目あひ觀るべし
5 And he will lead Zedekiah to Babylon. And he will be there until I visit him, says the Lord. So then, if you contend against the Chaldeans, you will have no success.’”
彼ゼデキヤをバビロンに携きゆかんゼデキヤはわが彼を顧る時まで彼處に居んとヱホバいひたまふ汝らカルデヤ人と戰ふとも勝ことを得じと
6 And Jeremiah said: “The word of the Lord came to me, saying:
ヱレミヤいふヱホバの言われに臨みていはく
7 Behold, Hanamel, the son of Shallum, your cousin, will come to you, saying: ‘Buy for yourself my field, which is in Anathoth. For it is your right, as next of kin, to buy it.’
みよ汝の叔父シヤルムの子ハナメル汝にきたりていはん汝アナトテに在るわが田地を買へそは之を贖ふ事は汝の分なればなりと
8 And in accord with the word of the Lord, Hanamel, the son of my uncle, came to me, to the entrance of the prison, and he said to me: ‘Take possession of my field, which is in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin. For the right of inheritance is yours, and as the next of kin you may possess it.’ Then I understood that this was the word of the Lord.
かくてヱホバの言のごとく我叔父の子ハナメル獄の庭にて我に來り云けるは願くは汝ベニヤミンの地のアナトテに在るわが田地を買へそは之を嗣ぎこれを贖ふことは汝の分なれば汝みつからこれを買ひとれとここに於てわれ此はヱホバの言なりと知りたれば
9 And I bought the field, which is in Anathoth, from Hanamel, the son of my uncle. And I weighed out the money to him, seven small coins and ten pieces of silver.
我叔父の子ハナメルがアナトテにもてる田地をかひて彼に銀十七シケルを稱てあたふ
10 And I wrote it in a book and signed it, and I summoned witnesses. And I weighed out the silver on a scale.
すなはち我その契劵を書てこれに封印し證人をたて權衡をもて銀を稱て與ふ
11 And I received the signed deed of possession, and the stipulations, and the ratifications, with the exterior seals.
而してわれその約定をのするところの封印せし買劵とその開きたるものを取り
12 And I gave the deed of possession to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the sight of Hanamel, the son of my uncle, in the sight of the witnesses who had been recorded in the book of the purchase, and in the sight of all the Jews who were sitting in the atrium of the prison.
わが叔父の子ハナメルと買劵に印せし證人の前および獄の庭に坐するユダ人の前にてその買劵をマアセヤの子なるネリヤの子バルクに與へ
13 And I instructed Baruch, in their sight, saying:
彼らの前にてわれバルクに命じていひけるは
14 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Take these writings, this sealed deed of purchase, and this deed which is open, and place them in an earthen vessel, so that they will be preserved for many days.’
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かく云たまふ汝これらの契劵すなはち此買劵の封印せし者と開きたるものを取り之を瓦器の中に貯へて多くの日の間保たしめよ
15 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Houses, and fields, and vineyards will be possessed still, in this land.’
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふそは此地に於て人復屋と田地と葡萄園を買ふにいたらんと
16 And after I had delivered the deed of possession to Baruch, the son of Neri, I prayed to the Lord, saying:
われ買契をネリヤの子バルクに付せしのちヱホバに祈りて云ひけるは
17 Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! Behold, you have made heaven and earth, by your great strength and by your outstretched arm. No word is difficult for you.
嗚呼主ヱホバよ汝はその大なる能力と伸たる腕をもて天と地を造りたまへり汝には爲す能はざるところなし
18 You act with mercy a thousand-fold, but you repay the iniquity of the fathers into the sinews of their sons after them. The Lord of hosts is your name: most strong, great, and powerful!
汝は恩寵を千萬人に施し又父の罪をその後の子孫の懷に報いたまふ汝は大なる全能の神にいまして其名は萬軍のヱホバとまうすなり
19 You are great in counsel and incomprehensible in thought. Your eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of Adam, so that you may repay each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his intentions.
汝の謀略は大なり汝は事をなすに能あり汝の目は人のこどもらの諸の途を鑒はしおのおのの行に循ひその行爲の果によりて之に報いたまふ
20 You caused signs and portents in the land of Egypt, and in Israel, and among men, even until this day. And you have made a name for yourself, just as in this day.
汝休徴と奇跡をエジプトの地に行ひたまひて今日にまでいたるまたイスラエルと他の民の中にも然りかくして今日のごとくに汝の名を揚たまへり
21 And you have led your people Israel away from the land of Egypt, with signs and portents, and with a robust hand and an outstretched arm, and with great terror.
汝は休徴と奇跡と強き手と伸たる腕と大なる怖しき事をもて汝の民イスラエルをエジプトの地より導きいだし
22 And you have given them this land, which you swore, to their fathers, that you would give to them, a land flowing with milk and honey.
この地を彼らにたまへり是即ち汝がかれらの先祖等に與へんと誓ひたまひし乳と蜜の流るる地なり
23 And they entered it and possessed it. But they did not obey your voice, and they did not walk in your law. And they did not do all of the things that you commanded them to do. And so, all of these evils have happened to them.
彼等すなはち入てこれを獲たりしかども汝の聲に遵はず汝の例典を行はず凡て汝がなせと命じたまひし事を爲ざりしによりて汝この災を其上にくだらしむ
24 Behold, fortifications were built against the city, so as to capture it. And the city was given into the hands of the Chaldeans, who fight against it, before the face of the sword, and of famine, and of pestilence. And what you have spoken has occurred, just as you yourself discern.
みよ壘成れり是この邑を取んとて來れるなり劍と饑饉と疫病のためにこの邑は之を攻むるカルデヤ人の手に付さる汝のいひたまひしことば旣に成れり汝之を見たまふなり
25 So why, O Lord God, are you saying to me: ‘Buy a field with money, and summon witnesses,’ while the city is being given into the hands of the Chaldeans?”
主ヱホバよ汝われに銀をもて田地を買へ證人を立よといひたまへり然るにこの邑はカルデヤ人の手に付さる
26 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
時にヱホバの言ヱレミヤに臨みていふ
27 “Behold, I am the Lord God; I am above all flesh. Can any word be difficult for me?
みよ我はヱホバなりすべて血氣ある者の神なり我に爲す能はざるところあらんや
28 Therefore, thus says the Lord: Behold, I will deliver this city into the hands of the Chaldeans, and into the hands of the king of Babylon, and they will capture it.
故にヱホバかくいふ視よわれ此邑をカルデヤ人の手とバビロンの王ネブカデネザルの手に付さん彼これを取るべし
29 And the Chaldeans fighting against this city will advance, and set fire to it, and burn it, along with the houses on whose roofs they were offering sacrifice to Baal and were pouring out libations to strange gods, so that they provoked me to wrath.
この邑を攻るところのカルデヤ人きたり火をこの邑に放ちて之を焚ん屋蓋のうへにて人がバアルに香を焚き他の神に酒をそそぎて我を怒らせしその屋をも彼ら亦焚ん
30 For the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah, from their youth, have continually done evil in my eyes. The sons of Israel, even until now, have been provoking me with the work of their hands, says the Lord.
そはイスラエルの子孫とユダの子孫はその幼少時よりわが前に惡き事のみをなしまたイスラエルの民はその手の作爲をもて我をいからする事のみをなしたればなりヱホバ之をいふ
31 For this city has been a cause of fury and indignation to me, from the day when they built it, until this day, in which it will be taken away from my sight,
此邑はその建し日より今日にいたるまで我震怒を惹き我憤恨をおこすところの者なれば我前よりわれ之を除かんとするなり
32 because of all the wickedness of the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah, which they have done, provoking me to wrath, they and their kings, their leaders and their priests and their prophets, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
こはイスラエルの民とユダの民諸の惡を行ひて我を怒らせしによりてなり彼らその王等その牧伯等その祭司その預言者およびユダの人々とヱルサレムに住る者皆然なせり
33 And they have turned their backs to me, and not their faces. And though I taught them and instructed them, rising at first light, they were not willing to listen, so that they would receive discipline.
彼ら背を我にむけて面を我にむけずわれ彼らををしへ頻に敎ふれどもかれらは敎をきかずしてうけざるなり
34 And they have placed their idols in the house where my name is invoked, so that they defiled it.
彼らは憎むべき物をわが名をもて稱へらるる室にたてて之を汚し
35 And they have built the exalted places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, so that they may initiate their sons and their daughters into Molech, though I did not command, nor did it enter into my heart, that they should do this abomination, and so lead Judah into sin.
又ベンヒンノムの谷にあるバアルの崇邱を築きその子女をモロクに献げたりわれは彼らにこの憎むべきことを行ひてユダに罪を犯さしむることを命ぜず斯る事は我心におこらざりしなり
36 And now, because of these things, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to this city, about which you say that it will be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence:
いまイスラエルの神ヱホバこの邑すなはち汝らが劍と饑饉と疫病のためにバビロン王の手に付されんといひしところの邑につきて斯いひたまふ
37 Behold, I will gather them together from all the lands to which I have cast them out in my fury, and in my wrath, and in my great indignation. And I will lead them back to this place, and I will cause them to live in confidence.
みよわれ我震怒と憤恨と大なる怒をもて彼らを逐やりし諸の國より彼らを集め此處に導きかへりて安然に居らしめん
38 And they will be my people, and I will be their God.
彼らは我民となり我は彼らの神とならん
39 And I will give to them one heart and one way, so that they may fear me all their days, and so that it may be well with them, and with their sons after them.
われ彼らに一の心と一の途をあたへて常に我を畏れしめんこは彼らと其子孫とに福をえせしめん爲なり
40 And I will form an everlasting covenant with them, and I will not cease to do good for them. And I will put my fear into their heart, so that they do not withdraw from me.
われ彼らを棄ずして恩を施すべしといふ永遠の契約をかれらにたて我を畏るるの畏をかれらの心におきて我を離れざらしめん
41 And I will rejoice over them, while I do good for them. And I will plant them in this land, in truth, with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
われ悦びて彼らに恩を施し心を盡し精神をつくして誠に彼らを此地に植べし
42 For thus says the Lord: Just as I have led over this people all this great evil, so will I lead over them all the good that I am speaking to them now.
ヱホバかくいひたまふわれ此諸の大なる災をこの民に降せしごとくわがかれらに言し諸の福を彼等に降さん
43 And fields will be possessed in this land, about which you say that it is desolate because there remains neither man nor beast, and because it has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans.
人衆この地に田野を買はん是汝等が荒て人も畜もなきにいたりカルデヤ人の手に付されしといへる地なり
44 Fields will be bought for money, and deeds will be written and signed, and witnesses will be summoned, in the land of Benjamin and all around Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, and in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities on the plains, and in the cities that are toward the south. For I will convert their captivity, says the Lord.”
人衆ベニヤミンの地とヱルサレムの四周とユダの邑々と山の邑々と平地の邑々と南の方の邑々において銀をもて田野をかひ契劵を書きてこれに封印し又證人をたてんそは我かの俘囚者を歸らしむればなりとヱホバいひたまふ
