Jeremiah 14
1 The Word of the Lord that came to Jeremias concerning the words of the drought.
乾旱の事につきてヱレミヤにのぞみしヱホバの言は左のごとし
2 Judea hath mourned, and the gates thereof are fallen, and are become obscure on the ground, and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
ユダは悲むその門は傾き地にたふれて哭くヱルサレムの咷は上る
3 The great ones sent their inferiors to the water: they came to draw, they found no water, they carried back their vessels empty: they were confounded and afflicted, and covered their heads.
その侯伯等は僕をつかはして水を汲しむ彼ら井にいたれども水を見ず空き器をもちて歸り恥かつ憂へてその首をおほふ
4 For the destruction of the land, because there came no rain upon the earth, the husbandmen were confounded, they covered their heads.
地に雨ふらずして土燥裂たるにより農夫は恥て首を掩ふ
5 Yea, the hind also brought forth in the field, and left it, because there was no grass.
また野にある麀は子をうみて之を棄つ草なければなり
6 And the wild asses stood upon the rocks, they snuffed up the wind like dragons, their eyes failed, because there was no grass.
野の驢馬は童山のうへにたちて山犬のごとく喘ぎ草なきによりて目眩む
7 If our iniquities have testified against us, O Lord, do thou it for thy name’s sake, for our rebellions are many, we have sinned against thee.
ヱホバよ我儕の罪われらを訟へて證をなすとも願くは汝の名の爲に事をなし給へ我儕の違背はおほいなり我儕汝に罪を犯したり
8 O expectation of Israel, the Saviour thereof in time of trouble: why wilt thou be a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man turning in to lodge?
イスラエルの企望なる者その艱るときに救ひたまふ者よ汝いかなれば此地に於て他邦人のごとくし一夜寄宿の旅客のごとくしたまふや
9 Why wilt thou be as a wandering man, as a mighty man that cannot save? but thou, O Lord, art among us, and thy name is called upon by us, forsake us not.
汝いかなれば呆てをる人のごとくし救をなすこと能はざる勇士のごとくしたまふやヱホバよ汝は我らの間にいます我儕は汝の名をもて稱へらるる者なり我らを棄たまふ勿れ
10 Thus saith the Lord to his people, that have loved to move their feet, and have not rested, and have not pleased the Lord: He will now remember their iniquities, and visit their sins.
ヱホバこの民にかくいひたまへり彼らかく好んでさまよひ其足を禁めざればヱホバ彼らを悦ばずいまその愆をおぼえ其罪を罰すべし
11 And the Lord said to me: Pray not for this people for their good.
ヱホバまた我にいひたまひけるは汝この民のために恩をいのる勿れ
12 When they fast I will not hear their prayers: and if they offer holocausts and victims, I will not receive them: for I will consume them by the sword, and by famine, and by the pestilence.
彼ら斷食するとも我その呼龥をきかず燔祭と素祭を献るとも我これをうけず却てわれ劍と饑饉と疫病をもて彼らを滅すべし
13 And I said: Ah, ah, ah, O Lord God, the prophets say to them: You shall not see the sword, and there shall be no famine among you, but he will give you true peace in this place.
われいひけるは嗚呼主ヱホバよみよ預言者たちはこの民にむかひ汝ら劍を見ざるべし饑饉は汝らにきたらじわれ此處に鞏固なる平安を汝らにあたへんといへり
14 And the Lord said to me: The prophets prophesy falsely in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, nor have I spoken to them: they prophesy unto you a lying vision, and divination and deceit, and the seduction of their own heart.
ヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは預言者等は我名をもて詭を預言せりわれ之を遣さず之に命ぜずまた之にいはず彼らは虛誕の默示と卜筮と虛きことと己の心の詐を汝らに預言せり
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that prophecy in my name, whom I did not send, that say: Sword and famine shall not be in this land: By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
この故にかの吾が遣さざるに我名をもて預言して劍と饑饉はこの地にきたらじといへる預言者等につきてヱホバかくいふこの預言者等は劍と饑饉に滅さるべし
16 And the people to whom they prophecy, shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword, and there shall be none to bury them: they and their wives, their sons and their daughters, and I will pour out their wickedness upon them.
また彼等の預言をうけし民は饑饉と劍によりてヱルサレムの街に擲棄られんこれを葬る者なかるべし彼等とその妻および其子その女みな然りそはわれ彼らの惡をその上に斟げばなり
17 And thou shalt speak this word to them: Let my eyes shed down tears night and day, and let them not cease, because the virgin daughter of my people is afflicted with a great affliction, with an exceeding grievous evil.
汝この言を彼らに語るべしわが目は夜も晝もたえず涙を流さんそは我民の童女大なる滅と重き傷によりて亡さるればなり
18 If I go forth into the fields, behold the slain with the sword: and if I enter into the city, behold them that are consumed with famine. The prophet also and the priest are gone into a land which they knew not.
われ出て畑にゆくに劍に死る者あり我邑にいるに饑饉に艱むものあり預言者も祭司もみなその地にさまよひて知ところなし
19 Hast thou utterly cast away Juda, or hath thy soul abhorred Sion? why then hast thou struck us, so that there is no healing for us? we have looked for peace, and there is no good: and for the time of healing, and behold trouble.
汝はユダを悉くすてたまふや汝の心はシオンをきらふや汝いかなれば我儕を撃て愈しめざるか我ら平安を望めども善ことあらず又醫さるる時を望むに却て驚懼あり
20 We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness, the iniquities of our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
ヱホバよ我らはおのれの惡と先祖の愆を知るわれら汝に罪を犯したり
21 Give us not to be a reproach, for thy name’s sake, and do not disgrace in us the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.
汝の名のために我らを棄たまふ勿れ汝の榮の位を辱めたまふ勿れ汝のわれらに立し契約をおぼえて毀りたまふなかれ
22 Are there any among the graven things of the Gentiles that can send rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou the Lord our God, whom we have looked for? for thou hast made all these things.
異邦の虛き物の中に雨を降せうるものあるや天みづから白雨をくだすをえんや我らの神ヱホバ汝これを爲したまふにあらずや我ら汝を望むそは汝すべて此等を悉く作りたまひたればなり
