Jeremiah 50
1 The word that Jehovah spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, through Jeremiah the prophet.
ヱホバ預言者ヱレミヤによりてバビロンとカルデヤ人の地のことを語り給ひし言
2 Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and lift up a banner; publish, conceal not! Say, Babylon is taken, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is dismayed: her images are put to shame, her idols are dismayed.
汝ら國々の中に告げまた宣示せ纛を樹よ隱すことなく宣示して言へバビロンは取られベルは辱められメロダクは碎かれ其像は辱められ其木像は碎かると
3 For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: both man and beast are fled; they are gone.
そは北の方より一の國人きたりて之を攻めその地を荒して其處に住む者無らしむればなり人も畜も皆逃去れり
4 In those days, and at that time, saith Jehovah, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping as they go, and shall seek Jehovah their God.
ヱホバいひたまふその日その時イスラエルの子孫かへり來らん彼らと偕にユダの子孫かへり來るべし彼らは哭きつつ行てその神ヱホバに請求むべし
5 They shall inquire concerning Zion, with their faces thitherward, [saying, ] Come, and let us join ourselves to Jehovah, in an everlasting covenant that shall not be forgotten.
彼ら面をシオンに向てその路を問ひ來れ我らは永遠わするることなき契約をもてヱホバにつらならんといふべし
6 My people are lost sheep; their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they turned them away on the mountains: they went from mountain to hill, they forgot their resting-place.
我民は迷へる羊の群なりその牧者之をいざなひて山にふみ迷はしめたれば山より岡とゆきめぐりて其休息所を忘れたり
7 All that found them devoured them, and their adversaries said, We are not guilty, because they have sinned against Jehovah, the habitation of righteousness, even Jehovah, the hope of their fathers.
之に遇ふもの皆之を食ふその敵いへり我らは罪なし彼らヱホバすなはち義きの在所その先祖の望みしところなるヱホバに罪を犯したるなり
8 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he-goats before the flock.
汝らバビロンのうちより逃よカルデヤ人の地より出よ群の前にゆくところの牡山羊のごとくせよ
9 For behold, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon, an assemblage of great nations from the north country; and they shall set themselves in array against her: from thence shall she be taken. Their arrows shall be as those of a mighty expert man: none shall return empty.
視よわれ大なる國々より人を起しあつめて北の地よりバビロンに攻め來らしめん彼ら之にむかひて備をたてん是すなはち取るべし彼らの矢は空しく返らざる狡き勇士の矢のごとくなるべし
10 And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all the spoilers thereof shall be satiated, saith Jehovah.
カルデヤは人に掠められん之を掠むる者は皆飽ことをえんとヱホバ曰たまふ
11 For ye rejoiced, for ye triumphed, ye plunderers of my heritage; for ye have been wanton as the heifer at grass, and neighed as steeds.
我產業を掠る者よ汝らは喜び樂み穀物を碾す犢のごとくに躍り牡馬のごとく嘶けども
12 Your mother hath been sorely put to shame; she that bore you hath been covered with reproach: behold, [she is become] hindmost of the nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
汝らの母は痛く辱められん汝らを生しものは恥べし視よ國々の中の終末の者荒野となり燥ける地となり沙漠とならん
13 Because of the wrath of Jehovah, it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate; every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and shall hiss, because of all her plagues.
ヱホバの怒りの爲に之に住む者なくして悉く荒地となるべしバビロンを過る者は皆その禍に驚き且嗤はん
14 Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about, all ye that bend the bow; shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against Jehovah.
凡そ弓を張る者よバビロンの四周に備をなして攻め矢を惜まずして之を射よそは彼ヱホバに罪を犯したればなり
15 Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand; her ramparts are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for this is the vengeance of Jehovah. Take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.
その四周に喊き叫びて攻めかかれ是手を伸ぶその城堞は倒れその石垣は崩る是ヱホバ仇を復したまふなり汝らこれに仇を復せ是の行ひしごとく是に行へ
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest. For fear of the oppressing sword let them turn every one to his people, and let them flee every one to his own land.
播種者および穡收時に鎌を執る者をバビロンに絕せその滅すところの劍を怖れて人おのおの其民に歸り各その故土に逃べし
17 Israel is a hunted sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria devoured him, and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.
イスラエルは散されたる羊にして獅子之を追ふ初にアツスリヤの王之を食ひ後にこのバビロンの王ネブカデネザルその骨を碎けり
18 Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will visit the king of Babylon and his land, like as I have visited the king of Assyria.
この故に萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ視よわれアツスリヤの王を罰せしごとくバビロンの王とその地を罰せん
19 And I will bring Israel again to his pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim and in Gilead.
われイスラエルを再びその牧場に歸さん彼カルメルとバシヤンの上に草をくらはんまたエフライムとギレアデの山にてその心を飽すべし
20 In those days, and at that time, saith Jehovah, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon those whom I leave remaining.
ヱホバいひたまふ其日その時にはイスラエルの愆を尋るも有らず又ユダの罪を尋るも遇じそはわれ我存せしところの者を赦すべければなり
21 Go up against the land of double rebellion, against it, and against the inhabitants of visitation; waste and utterly destroy after them, saith Jehovah, and do according to all that I have commanded thee.
ヱホバいひたまふ汝ら上りて悖れる國罰を受べき民を攻めその後より之を荒し全くこれを滅せ我汝らに命ぜしごとく行ふべし
22 A sound of battle is in the land, and great destruction.
その地に戰鬪の咷と大なる敗壤あり
23 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! How is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
嗚呼全地を摧きし鎚折れ碎くるかな嗚呼バビロン國々の中に荒地となるかな
24 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou, Babylon, art also taken, and thou wast not aware; thou art found, and also caught, for thou hast contended with Jehovah.
バビロンよわれ汝をとるために罟を置けり汝は擒へらるれども知ず汝ヱホバに敵せしにより尋られて獲へらるるなり
25 Jehovah hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation; for this is a work for the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in the land of the Chaldeans.
ヱホバ庫を啓きてその怒りの武器をいだしたまふ是主なる萬軍のヱホバ、カルデヤ人の地に事をなさんとしたまへばなり
26 Come ye against her from every quarter, open her storehouses; pile her up like sheaves, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.
汝ら終の者にいたるまで來りてこれを攻めその庫を啓き之を積て塵垤のごとくせよ盡くこれを滅ぼして其處に遺る者なからしめよ
27 Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.
その牡牛を悉く殺せこれを屠場にくだらしめよ其等は禍なるかな其日その罰を受べき時來れり
28 The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of Jehovah our God, the vengeance of his temple.
バビロンの地より逃げて遁れ來し者の聲ありて我らの神ヱホバの仇復その殿の仇復をシオンに宣ぶ
29 Call together the archers against Babylon, all those that bend the bow: encamp against her round about; let there be no escaping: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: for she hath acted proudly against Jehovah, against the Holy One of Israel.
射者をバビロンに召集めよ凡そ弓を張る者よその四周に陣どりて之を攻め何人をも逃す勿れその作爲に循ひて之に報いそのすべて行ひし如くこれに行へそは彼イスラエルの聖者なるヱホバにむかひて驕りたればなり
30 Therefore shall her young men fall in her streets; and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith Jehovah.
是故にその日壯者は衢に踣れその兵卒は悉く絕されんとヱホバいひたまふ
31 Behold, I am against thee, proud one, saith the Lord Jehovah of hosts; for thy day is come, the time that I visit thee:
主なる萬軍のヱホバいひたまふ驕傲者よ視よわれ汝の敵となる汝の日わが汝を罰する時きたれり
32 and the proud one shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up; yea, I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all that are round about him.
驕傲者は蹶きて仆れん之を扶け起す者なかるべしわれ火をその諸邑に燃しその四周の者を燒盡さん
33 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: The children of Israel and the children of Judah were together oppressed; and all that took them captives held them fast: they refused to let them go.
萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふイスラエルの民とユダの民は偕に虐げらる彼らを擄にせし者は皆固くこれを守りて釋たざるなり
34 Their Redeemer is strong; Jehovah of hosts is his name: he will thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
彼らを贖ふ者は強しその名は萬軍のヱホバなり彼必ずその訴を理してこの地に安を與へバビロンに住る者を戰慄しめ給はん
35 The sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith Jehovah, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men;
ヱホバいひたまふカルデヤ人の上バビロンに住る者の上およびその牧伯等とその智者等の上に劍あり
36 the sword is upon the liars, and they shall become fools; the sword is upon her mighty men, and they shall be dismayed;
劍僞る者の上にあり彼ら愚なる者とならん劍その勇士の上にあり彼ら懼れん
37 the sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mingled people that are in the midst of her, and they shall become as women; the sword is upon her treasures, and they shall be robbed:
劍その馬の上にあり其車の上にあり又その中にあるすべての援兵の上にあり彼ら婦女のごとくにならん劍その寶の上にあり是掠めらるべし
38 a drought is upon her waters, and they shall be dried up; for it is a land of graven images, and they are mad after frightful idols.
旱その水の上にあり是涸かん斯は偶像の地にして人々偶像に迷へばなり
39 Therefore wild beasts of the desert with jackals shall dwell there, and ostriches shall dwell therein; and it shall be no more inhabited for ever, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation.
是故に野の獸彼處に山犬と偕に居り鴕鳥も彼處に棲べし何時までも其地に住む人なく世々ここに住む人なかるべし
40 As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and their neighbour cities, saith Jehovah, no one shall dwell there, neither shall a son of man sojourn therein.
ヱホバいひたまふ神のソドム、ゴモラとその近隣の邑々を滅せしごとく彼處に住む人なく彼處に宿る人の子なかるべし
41 Behold, a people cometh from the north, and a great nation. And many kings shall arise from the uttermost parts of the earth.
視よ北の方より民きたるあらん大なる國の人とおほくの王たち地の極より起らん
42 They lay hold of bow and spear; they are cruel, and will not shew mercy; their voice roareth like the sea, and they ride upon horses — set in array like a man for the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
彼らは弓と槍をとる情なく矜恤なしその聲は海のごとくに鳴るバビロンの女よ彼らは馬に乗り戰士のごとくに備へて汝を攻ん
43 The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands wax feeble; trouble hath taken hold of him, pangs as of a woman in travail.
バビロンの王その風聲をききしかば其手弱り苦痛と子を產む婦の如き劬勞彼に迫る
44 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of the Jordan against the strong habitation; for I will make him suddenly run away from it; and who is a chosen [man] whom I may appoint over her? For who is like me? and who will assign me a time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?
視よ敵獅子のヨルダンの叢より上るが如く堅き宅に攻めきたらんわれ直に彼等を其處より逐奔らせわが選みたる者をその上に立ん誰か我のごとき者あらんや誰かわが爲に時期を定めんや何の牧者か我前に立ことをえん
45 Therefore hear the counsel of Jehovah, which he hath taken against Babylon, and his purposes which he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: The little ones of the flock shall certainly draw them away; he shall certainly make their habitation desolate for them.
さればバビロンにつきてヱホバの謀りたまひし御謀とカルデヤ人の地につきて思ひたまひし思想をきけ群の弱者必ず曳ゆかれん彼必ずかれらの住居を滅すべし
46 At the sound of the taking of Babylon the earth hath quaked, and the cry is heard among the nations.
バビロンは取れたりとの聲によりて地震へその號咷國々の中に聞ゆ
