Jeremiah 1
1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkijah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
こはベニヤミンの地アナトテの祭司の一人なるヒルキヤの子ヱレミヤの言なり
2 to whom the word of Jehovah came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign;
アモンの子ユダの王ヨシヤの時すなはちその治世の十三年にヱホバの言ヱレミヤに臨めり
3 it came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive, in the fifth month.
その言またヨシヤの子ユダの王ヱホヤキムの時にものぞみてヨシヤの子ユダの王ゼデキヤの十一年のをはり即ちその年の五月ヱルサレムの民の移されたる時までにいたれり
4 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
ヱホバの言我にのぞみて云ふ
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I hallowed thee, I appointed thee a prophet unto the nations.
われ汝を腹につくらざりし先に汝をしり汝が胎をいでざりし先に汝を聖め汝をたてて萬國の預言者となせりと
6 And I said, Alas, Lord Jehovah! behold, I cannot speak; for I am a child.
我こたへけるは噫主ヱホバよ視よわれは幼少により語ることを知らず
7 But Jehovah said unto me, Say not, I am a child; for thou shalt go to whomsoever I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
ヱホバわれにいひたまひけるは汝われは幼少といふ勿れすべて我汝を遣すところにゆき我汝に命ずるすべてのことを語るべし
8 Be not afraid of them; for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith Jehovah.
なんぢ彼等の面を畏るる勿れ蓋われ汝と偕にありて汝をすくふべければなりとヱホバいひたまへり
9 And Jehovah put forth his hand and touched my mouth; and Jehovah said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
ヱホバ遂にその手をのべて我口につけヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは視よわれ我言を汝の口にいれたり
10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy, and to overthrow, to build and to plant.
みよ我けふ汝を萬民のうへと萬國のうへにたて汝をして或は抜き或は毀ち或は滅し或は覆し或は建て或は植しめん
11 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond-tree.
ヱホバの言また我に臨みていふヱレミヤよ汝何をみるや我こたへけるは巴旦杏の枝をみる
12 And Jehovah said unto me, Thou hast well seen; for I am watchful over my word to perform it.
ヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは汝善く見たりそはわれ速に我言をなさんとすればなり
13 And the word of Jehovah came to me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething-pot, and its face is from the north.
ヱホバの言ふたたび我に臨みていふ汝何をみるや我こたへけるは沸騰たる鑊をみるその面は北より此方に向ふ
14 And Jehovah said unto me, Out of the north shall evil break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
ヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは災北よりおこりてこの地に住るすべての者にきたらん
15 For behold, I am calling all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith Jehovah, and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah:
ヱホバいひたまひけるはわれ北の國々のすべての族をよばん彼等きたりてヱルサレムの門の入口とその周圍のすべての石垣およびユダのすべての邑々に向ひておのおのその座を設けん
16 and I will pronounce my judgments against them for all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.
われかれらの凡の惡事のために我鞫をかれにつげん是はかれら我をすてて別の神に香を焚きおのれの手にて作りし物を拝するによる
17 Thou, therefore, gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I shall command thee: be not dismayed at them, lest I cause thee to be dismayed before them.
汝腰に帶して起ちわが汝に命ずるすべての事を彼等につげよその面を畏るる勿れ否らざれば我かれらの前に汝を辱かしめん
18 And I, behold, I appoint thee this day as a strong city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls, against the whole land; against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.
視よわれ今日この全國とユダの王とその牧伯とその祭司とその地の民の前に汝を堅き城 鐵の柱 銅の牆となせり
19 And they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee, saith Jehovah, to deliver thee.
彼等なんぢと戰はんとするも汝に勝ざるべしそはわれ汝とともにありて汝をすくふべければなりとヱホバいひたまへり
