Jeremiah 3
1 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? Would not that land be utterly polluted? But thou hast committed fornication with many lovers; yet return to me, saith Jehovah.
世にいへるあり人もしその妻をいださんに去りゆきてほかの人の妻とならば其夫ふたたび彼に歸るべけんやさすれば其地はおほいに汚れざらんや汝はおほくの者と姦淫を行へりされど汝われに皈れよとヱホバいひ給ふ
2 Lift up thine eyes unto the heights and see, where hast thou not been lain with? In the ways hast thou sat for them, as an Arab in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy fornications and with thy wickedness.
汝目をあげてもろもろの童山をみよ姦淫を行はざる所はいづこにあるや汝は曠野にをるアラビヤ人の爲すがごとく路に坐して人をまてり汝は姦淫と惡をもて此地を汚せり
3 And the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; but thou hast a harlot's forehead, thou refusest to be ashamed.
この故に雨はとどめられ春の雨はふらざりし然れど汝娼妓の額あれば肯て恥ず
4 Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth?
汝いまより我を呼ていはざらんや我父よ汝はわが少時の交友なり
5 Will he keep [his anger] for ever? Will he preserve it perpetually? Behold, thou hast spoken and hast done evil things, and thou art [so] determined.
窮なくその怒を含まんや恒に之を存たんやと視よ汝はかくいへど力をきはめて惡を爲すなり
6 And Jehovah said unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen what backsliding Israel hath done? She hath gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath committed fornication.
ヨシヤ王のときヱホバまた我にいひ給ひけるは汝そむけるイスラエルのなせしことを見しや彼はすべての高山にのぼりすべての靑木の下にゆきて其處に姦淫を行へり
7 And I said, After she hath done all these [things], she will return unto me; but she returned not. And her sister Judah, the treacherous, saw [it].
彼このすべての事を爲せしのち我かれに汝われに歸れと言しかどもわれに歸らざりき其悖れる姊妹なるユダ之を見たり
8 And I saw that when for all the causes wherein backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce, yet the treacherous Judah, her sister, feared not, but went and committed fornication also.
我に背けるイスラエル姦淫をなせしにより我かれを出して離緣状をあたへたれどその悖れる姊妹なるユダは懼れずして往て姦淫を行ふ我これを見る
9 And it came to pass through the lightness of her fornication that she polluted the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
また其姦淫の噪をもてこの地を汚し且石と木とに姦淫を行へり
10 And even for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not returned unto me with her whole heart, but with falsehood, saith Jehovah.
此諸の事あるも仍其悖れる姊妹なるユダは眞心をもて我にかへらず僞れるのみとヱホバいひたまふ
11 And Jehovah said unto me, Backsliding Israel hath shewn herself more just than treacherous Judah.
ヱホバまた我にいひたまひけるは背けるイスラエルは悖れるユダよりも自己を義とす
12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith Jehovah: I will not make my face dark upon you; for I am merciful, saith Jehovah; I will not keep [anger] for ever.
汝ゆきて北にむかひ此言を宣ていふべしヱホバいひたまふ背けるイスラエルよ歸れわれ怒の面を汝らにむけじわれは矜恤ある者なり怒を限なく含みをることあらじとヱホバいひたまふ
13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against Jehovah thy God, and hast turned thy ways hither and thither to the strangers under every green tree; and ye have not hearkened to my voice, saith Jehovah.
汝ただ汝の罪を認はせそは汝の神ヱホバにそむき經めぐりてすべての靑木の下にて異邦人にゆき汝等わが聲をきかざればなりとヱホバいひ給ふ
14 Return, backsliding children, saith Jehovah; for I am a husband unto you, and I will take you, one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion.
ヱホバいひたまふ背ける衆子よ我にかへれそはわれ汝等を娶ればなりわれ邑より一人支派より二人を取りて汝等をシオンにつれゆかん
15 And I will give you shepherds according to my heart, and they shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
われ我心に合ふ牧者を汝等にあたへん彼等は知識と明哲をもて汝等を養ふべし
16 And it shall come to pass, when ye are multiplied in the land and become fruitful, in those days, saith Jehovah, they shall say no more, Ark of the covenant of Jehovah! neither shall it come to mind, nor shall they remember it, nor shall they visit [it]; neither shall it be done any more.
ヱホバいひたまふ汝等地に增して多くならんときは人々復ヱホバの契約の櫃といはず之を想ひいでず之を憶えずこれを尋ねずこれを作らざるべし
17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of Jehovah; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of Jehovah, to Jerusalem; and they shall no more walk after the stubbornness of their evil heart.
その時ヱルサレムはヱホバの座位と稱へられ萬國の民ここに集るべし即ちヱホバの名によりてヱルサレムに集り重て其惡き心の剛愎なるにしたがひて行まざるべし
18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel; and they shall come together out of the land of the north, to the land which I caused your fathers to inherit.
その時ユダの家はイスラエルの家とともに行みて北の地よりいで我汝らの先祖たちに與へて嗣しめし地に偕にきたるべし
19 And as for me, I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee the pleasant land, the goodly inheritance of the hosts of the nations? And I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from following me.
我いへり嗚呼われいかにして汝を諸子の中に置き萬國の中にて最も美しき產業なる此美地を汝にあたへんと我またいへり汝われを我父とよび亦我を離れざるべしと
20 Surely [as] a woman treacherously departeth from her companion, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah.
然にイスラエルの家よ妻の誓に違きてその夫を棄るがごとく汝等われに背けりとヱホバいひたまふ
21 A voice is heard upon the heights, the weeping supplications of the children of Israel; for they have perverted their way, they have forgotten Jehovah their God.
聲山のうへに聞ゆ是はイスラエルの民の悲み祈るなり蓋彼等まがれる途にあゆみ其神ヱホバを忘るればなり
22 — Return, backsliding children; I will heal your backslidings. ...Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art Jehovah our God.
背ける諸子よ我に歸れわれ汝の退違をいやさん／視よ我儕なんぢに到る汝はわれらの神ヱホバなればなり
23 Truly in vain [is salvation looked for] from the hills, [and] the multitude of mountains; truly in Jehovah our God is the salvation of Israel.
信に諸の岡とおほくの山に救を望むはいたづらなり誠にイスラエルの救はわれらの神ヱホバにあり
24 But shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
羞恥はわれらの幼時より我儕の先祖の產業すなはち其多の羊とそのおほくの牛および其子その女を呑盡せり
25 We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us; for we have sinned against Jehovah our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah our God.
われらは羞恥に臥し我らは恥辱に覆はるべしそは我儕とわれらの列祖は我らの幼時より今日にいたるまで罪をわれらの神ヱホバに犯し我儕の神ヱホバの聲に遵はざればなり
