Jeremiah 10
1 Hear the word that Jehovah speaketh unto you, house of Israel.
イスラエルの家よヱホバの汝らに語たまふ言をきけ
2 Thus saith Jehovah: Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed at the signs of the heavens; for the nations are dismayed at them.
ヱホバかくいひたまふ汝ら異邦人の途に效ふ勿れ異邦人は天にあらはるる徴を懼るるとも汝らはこれを懼るる勿れ
3 For the statutes of the peoples are vanity; for [it is] a tree cut out of the forest, worked with a chisel by the hands of the artizan;
異國人の風俗はむなしその崇むる者は林より斫たる木にして木匠の手に斧をもて作りし者なり
4 they deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
彼らは銀と金をもてこれを飾り釘と鎚をもて之を堅めて搖動かざらしむ
5 They are as a palm-column of turned work, and they speak not; they are carried, for they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
こは圓き柱のごとくにして言はずまた歩むこと能はざるによりて人にたづさへらる是は災害をくだし亦は福祉をくだすの權なきによりて汝らこれを畏るる勿れ
6 There is none like unto thee, Jehovah; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
ヱホバよ汝に比ふべき者なし汝は大なり汝の名は其權威のために大なり
7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? For to thee doth it appertain; for among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.
汝萬國の王たる者よ誰か汝を畏れざるべきや汝を畏るるは當然なりそは萬國のすべての博士たちのうちにもその諸國のうちにも汝に比ふべき者なければなり
8 But they are one and all senseless and foolish; the teaching of vanities is a stock.
彼らはみな獸のことくまた痴愚なり虛しき者の敎は惟木のみ
9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the artizan and of the hands of the founder; blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of skilful [men].
タルシシより携へ來し銀箔ウパズより携へ來し金は鍛冶と鑄匠の作りし物なり靑と紫をその衣となす是はすべて巧みなる細工人の工作なり
10 But Jehovah Elohim is truth; he is the living God, and the King of eternity. At his wrath the earth trembleth, and the nations cannot abide his indignation.
ヱホバは眞の神なり彼は活る神なり永遠の王なり其怒によりて地は震ふ萬國はその憤怒にあたること能はず
11 Thus shall ye say unto them: The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.
汝等かく彼らにいふべし天地を造らざりし諸神は地の上よりこの天の下より失さらんと
12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his understanding.
ヱホバはその能をもて地をつくり其智慧をもて世界を建てその明哲をもて天を舒べたまへり
13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the end of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries.
かれ聲をいだせば天に衆の水ありかれ雲を地の極よりいだし電と雨をおこし風をその府庫よりいだす
14 Every man is become brutish, bereft of knowledge; every founder is put to shame by the graven image, for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
すべての人は獸の如くにして智なしすべての鑄匠はその作りし像のために辱をとる其鑄るところの像は僞物にしてその中に靈魂なければなり
15 They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
是らは虛き者にして迷妄の工作なりその罰せらるるときに滅ぶべし
16 The portion of Jacob is not like them; for it is he that hath formed all [things], and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
ヤコブの分は是のごとくならず彼は萬物の造化主なりイスラエルはその產業の杖なりその名は萬軍のヱホバといふなり
17 Gather up thy baggage out of the land, O inhabitress of the fortress.
圍の中に坐する者よ汝の包を地より取りあげよ
18 For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will this time sling out the inhabitants of the land, and will distress them, that they may be found.
ヱホバかくいひたまふみよ我この地にすめる者を此度擲たん且かれらをせめなやまして擄へられしむべし
19 Woe is me, for my wound! My stroke is hard to heal, and I had said, Yea, this is [my] grief, and I will bear it.
われ毀傷をうく嗚呼われは禍なるかな我傷は重し我いふこれまことにわが患難なりわれ之を忍べし
20 My tent is despoiled, and all my cords are broken; my children are gone forth from me, and they are not; there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
わが幕屋はやぶれわが繩索は悉く斷れ我衆子は我をすてゆきて居ずなりぬ幕屋を張る者なくわが幃をかくる者なし
21 For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not sought Jehovah; therefore have they not acted wisely, and all their flock is scattered.
牧者は愚にしてヱホバを求めず故に利達ずその群はみな散れり
22 The voice of a rumour! Behold, it cometh, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a dwelling-place of jackals.
きけよ風聲あり北の國より大なる騒きたる是ユダの諸邑を荒して山犬の巢となさん
23 I know, Jehovah, that the way of man is not his own; it is not in a man that walketh to direct his steps.
ヱホバよわれ知る人の途は自己によらず且歩行む人は自らその歩履を定むること能はざるなり
24 Jehovah, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
ヱホバよ我を懲したまへ但道にしたがひ怒らずして懲したまへおそらくは我無に歸せん
25 Pour out thy fury upon the nations that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name; for they have eaten up Jacob, yea, they have eaten him up and consumed him, and have laid waste his dwelling-place.
汝を知ざる國人と汝の名を龥ざる族に汝の怒を斟ぎたまへ彼らはヤコブを噬ひ之をくらふて滅しその牧場を荒したればなり
