Jeremiah 10
1 Hear ye the word which the Lord hath spoken concerning you, O 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 the Lord: Learn not according to the ways of the Gentiles: and be not afraid of the signs of heaven, which the heathens fear:
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 laws of the people are vain: for the works of the hand of the workman hath cut a tree out of the forest with an axe.
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 He hath decked it with silver and gold: he hath put it together with nails and hammers, that it may not fall asunder.
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 framed after the likeness of a palm tree, and shall not speak: they must be carried to be removed, because they cannot go. Therefore, fear them not, for they can neither do evil nor 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 to thee, O Lord: thou art great and great is thy name 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 shall fear thee, O king of nations? for thine is the glory: 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 They shall all proved together to be senseless and foolish: the doctrine of their vanity is wood.
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 Tharsis, and gold from Ophaz: the work of the artificer, and of the hand of the coppersmith: violet and purple is their clothing: all these things are the work of artificers.
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 the Lord is the true God: he is the living God, and the everlasting king, at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his threatening.
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 then shall you say to them: The gods that have not made heaven and earth, let them perish from the earth, and from among those places that are under heaven.
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 that maketh the earth by his power, that prepareth the world by his wisdom, and stretcheth out the heavens by his knowledge.
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 At his voice he giveth a multitude of waters in the heaven, and lifteth up the clouds from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings for rain, and bringeth for the wind out of his treasures.
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 a fool for knowledge every artist is confounded in his graven idol: for what he hath cast is false, and there is no spirit 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 vain things and a ridiculous work: 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 these: for it is he who formed all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the Lord 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 shame out of the land, thou that dwellest in a siege.
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 the Lord: Behold I will cast away far off the inhabitants of the land at this time: and I will afflict them, so 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 destruction, my wound is very grievous. But I said: Truly this is my own evil, 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 tabernacle is laid waste, all my cords are broken: my children are gone out 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 Because the pastors have done foolishly, and have not sought the Lord: therefore have they not understood, 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 Behold the sound of a noise cometh, a great commotion out of the land of the north: to make the cities of Juda a desert, and a dwelling for dragons.
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, O Lord, that the way of a man is not his: neither is it in a man to walk, and 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 Correct me, O Lord, but yet with judgement: and not in fury, 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 indignation upon the nations that have not known thee, and upon the provinces that have not called upon thy name: because they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have destroyed his glory.
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
