< Jeremiah 13 >

1 Thus said Jehovah unto me: Go and buy thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins; but dip it not in water.
ヱホバかくいひたまへり汝ゆきて麻の帶をかひ汝の腰にむすべ水に入る勿れ
2 And I bought a girdle according to the word of Jehovah, and put it upon my loins.
われすなはちヱホバの言に遵ひ帶をかひてわが腰にむすべり
3 And the word of Jehovah came unto me the second time, saying,
ヱホバの言ふたたび我にのぞみて云ふ
4 Take the girdle that thou hast bought, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
汝が買て腰にむすべる帶を取り起てユフラテにゆき彼處にてこれを磐の穴にかくせと
5 So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as Jehovah had commanded me.
ここに於てわれヱホバの命じたまひし如く往てこれをユフラテの涯にかくせり
6 And it came to pass at the end of many days, that Jehovah said unto me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence which I commanded thee to hide there.
おほくの日を經しのちヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは起てユフラテにゆきわが汝に命じて彼處にかくさしめし帶を取れと
7 And I went to the Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it; and behold, the girdle was spoiled, it was good for nothing.
われすなはちユフラテにゆき帶を我隱せしところより掘取りしにその帶は朽て用ふるにたへず
8 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
またヱホバの言われにのぞみて云ふ
9 Thus saith Jehovah: After this manner will I spoil the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
ヱホバかくいふ我かくの如くユダの驕傲とヱルサレムの大なる驕傲をやぶらん
10 This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and go after other gods, to serve them and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle which is good for nothing.
この惡き民はわが言を聽ことをこばみ己の心の剛愎なるにしたがひて行み且他の神に從ひてこれにつかへ之を拜す彼等は此帶の用ふるにたへざるが如くなるべし
11 For as a girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith Jehovah; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.
ヱホバいふ帶の人の腰に附がごとくわれイスラエルのすべての家とユダのすべての家を我に附しめ之を我民となし名となし譽となし榮となさんとせり然るに彼等はきかざりき
12 And thou shalt speak unto them this word: Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Every skin shall be filled with wine. And they will say unto thee, Do we not very well know that every skin shall be filled with wine?
故に汝この言を彼らに語るべしイスラエルの神ヱホバかくいふ酒壺には皆酒盈つと彼汝にこたへていはん我儕豈酒壺に酒の盈ることを知ざらんやと
13 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, and the kings that sit for David upon his throne, and the priests and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
其時汝かれらにいふべしヱホバかくいふみよわれ此地に住るすべての者とダビデの位に坐する王等と祭司と預言者およびヱルサレムに住るすべての者に醉を盈せ
14 And I will dash them one against another, both the fathers and the sons together, saith Jehovah; I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy so as not to destroy them.
彼らを此と彼と打あはせて碎かん父と子をも然すべしわれ彼らを恤まず惜まず憐まずして滅さん
15 Hear ye, and give ear, be not lifted up; for Jehovah hath spoken.
汝らきけ耳を傾けよ驕る勿れヱホバかたりたまふなり
16 Give glory to Jehovah your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the mountains of twilight; and ye shall look for light, but he will turn it into the shadow of death, and make [it] gross darkness.
汝らの神ヱホバに其いまだ暗を起したまはざる先汝らの足のくらき山に躓かざる先に榮光を皈すべし汝ら光明を望まんにヱホバ之を死の蔭に變へ之を昏黑となしたまふにいたらん
17 And if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for [your] pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because Jehovah's flock is gone into captivity.
汝ら若これを聽ずば我靈魂は汝らの驕を隱なるところに悲まん又ヱホバの群の掠めらるるによりて我目いたく泣て涙をながすべし
18 Say unto the king and to the queen: Humble yourselves, sit down low; for from your heads shall come down the crown of your magnificence.
なんぢ王と大后につげよ汝ら自ら謙りて坐せそはなんぢらの美しき冕汝らの首より落べければなり
19 The cities of the south are shut up, and there is none to open [them]; all Judah is carried away captive: it is wholly carried away captive.
南の諸邑は閉てこれを啓く人なしユダは皆擄移され盡くとらへ移さる
20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north. Where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?
汝ら目を擧げて北より來る者をみよ汝らが賜はりし群汝のうるはしき群はいづこにあるや
21 What wilt thou say when he shall visit thee, since thou thyself hast trained them to be princes in chief over thee? Shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail?
かれ汝の親み馴たる者を汝の上にたてて首領となさんとき汝何のいふべきことあらんや汝の痛は子をうむ婦のごとくならざらんや
22 And if thou say in thy heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts uncovered, [and] thy heels have suffered violence.
汝心のうちに何故にこの事我にきたるやといふか汝の罪の重によりて汝の裾は掲げられなんぢの踵はあらはさるるなり
23 Can an Ethiopian change his skin, or a leopard his spots? [Then] may ye also do good, who are accustomed to do evil.
エテオピア人その膚をかへうるか豹その斑駁をかへうるか若これを爲しえば惡に慣たる汝らも善をなし得べし
24 And I will scatter them as stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.
故にわれ彼らを散して野の風に吹散さるる皮壳のごとくせん
25 This shall be thy lot, thy measured portion from me, saith Jehovah; because thou hast forgotten me, and confided in falsehood.
ヱホバいひたまふこは汝の得べき分わが量て汝にあたふる產業なり汝我をわすれて虛假を依賴ばなり
26 Therefore will I also turn thy skirts over thy face, and thy shame shall be seen.
故にわれ汝の前の裳を剥ぎて汝の羞恥をあらはさん
27 Thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy fornication, on the hills, in the fields, — thine abominations, have I seen. Woe unto thee, Jerusalem! Wilt thou not be made clean? after how long a time yet?
われ汝の姦淫と汝の嘶と汝が岡のうへと野になせし汝の亂淫の罪と汝の憎むべき行をみたりヱルサレムよ汝は禍なるかな汝の潔くせらるるには尚いくばくの時を經べきや
