< Jeremiah 15 >
1 And the Lord said to me: If Moses and Samuel shall stand before me, my soul is not towards this people: cast them out from my sight, and let them go forth.
ヱホバ我にいひたまひけるはたとひモーセとサムエルわが前にたつとも我こころは斯民を顧ざるべしかれらを我前より逐ひていでさらしめよ
2 And if they shall say unto thee: Whither shall we go forth? thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: Such as are for death, to death: and such as are to the sword, to the sword: and such as are for famine, to famine: and such as are to captivity, to captivity.
彼らもし汝にわれら何處にいでさらんやといはば汝彼らにヱホバかくいへりといへ死に定められたる者は死にいたり劍に定められたる者は劍にいたり饑饉に定められたる者は饑饉にいたり虜に定められたる者は虜にいたるべしと
3 And I will visit them with four kinds, saith the Lord: The sword to kill, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the air, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.
ヱホバ云たまひけるはわれ四の物をもて彼らを罰せんすなはち劍をもて戮し犬をもて噬せ天空の鳥および地の獸をもて食ひ滅さしめん
4 And I will give them up to the rage of all the kingdoms of the earth: because of Manasses the son of Ezechias the king of Juda, for all that he did in Jerusalem.
またユダの王ヒゼキヤの子マナセがヱルサレムになせし事によりわれ彼らをして地のすべての國に艱難をうけしめん
5 For who shall have pity on thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go to pray for thy peace?
ヱルサレムよ誰か汝を憐まんたれか汝のために嘆かん誰かちかづきて汝の安否を問はん
6 Thou hast forsaken me, saith the Lord, thou art gone backward: and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will destroy thee: I am weary of entreating thee.
ヱホバいひたまふ汝われをすてたり汝退けり故にわれ手を汝のうへに伸て汝を滅さんわれ憫に倦り
7 And I will scatter them with a fan in the gates of the land: I have killed and destroyed my people, and yet they are not returned form their ways.
われ風扇をもて我民をこの地の門に煽がんかれらは其途を離れざるによりて我その子を絕ち彼らを滅すべし
8 Their widows are multiplied unto me above the sand of the sea: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young man a spoiler at noonday: I have cast a terror on a sudden upon the cities.
彼らの寡婦はわが前に海濱の沙よりも多し晝われほろぼす者を携へきたりて彼らと壯者の母とをせめ驚駭と恐懼を突然にかれの上におこさん
9 She that hath borne seven is become weak, her soul hath fainted away: her sun is gone down, while it was yet day: she is confounded, and ashamed: and the residue of them I will give up to the sword in the sight of their enemies, saith the Lord.
七人の子をうみし婦は衰へて氣たえ尚晝なるにその日は早く沒る彼は辱められて面をあからめん其餘れる者はわれ之をその敵の劍に付さんとヱホバいひたまふ
10 Woe is me, my mother: why hast thou borne me a man of strife, a man of contention to all the earth? I have not lent on usury, neither hath any man lent to me on usury: yet all curse me.
嗚呼われは禍なるかな我母よ汝なに故に我を生しや全國の人我と爭ひ我を攻むわれ人に貸さず人また我に貸さず皆我を詛ふなり
11 The Lord saith to me: Assuredly it shall be well with thy remnant, assuredly I shall help thee in the time of affliction, and in the time of tribulation against the enemy.
ヱホバいひたまひけるは我實に汝に益をえせしめんために汝を惱す我まことに敵をして其艱の時と災の時に汝に求むることをなさしめん
12 Shall iron be allied with the iron from the north, and the brass?
鐵いかで北の鐵と銅を碎かんや
13 Thy riches and thy treasures I will give unto spoil for nothing, because of all thy sins, even in all thy borders.
われ汝の資產と汝の資財を擄掠物とならしめ價をうることなからしめん是汝のすべての罪によるなりすべて汝の境のうちにかくなさん
14 And I will bring thy enemies out of a land, which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in my rage, it shall burn upon you.
われ汝の敵をして汝を汝の識ざる地にとらへ移さしめん夫我怒によりて火燃え汝を焚んとするなり
15 O Lord, thou knowest, remember me, and visit me, and defend me from them that persecute me, do not defend me in thy patience: know that for thy sake I have sufferred reproach.
ヱホバよ汝これを知りたまふ我を憶え我をかへりみたまへ我を迫害るものに仇を復したまへ汝の容忍によりて我をとらへられしむる勿れ我汝の爲に辱を受るを知りたまへ
16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them, and thy word was to me a joy and gladness of my heart: for thy name is called upon me, O Lord God of hosts.
われ汝の言を得て之を食へり汝の言はわが心の欣喜快樂なり萬軍の神ヱホバよわれは汝の名をもて稱へらるるなり
17 I sat not in the assembly of jesters, nor did I make a boast of the presence of thy hand: I sat alone, because thou hast filled me with threats.
われ嬉笑者の會に坐せずまた喜ばずわれ汝の手によりて獨り坐す汝憤怒をもて我に充したまへり
18 Why is my sorrow become perpetual, and my wound desperate so as to refuse to be healed? it is become to me as the falsehood of deceitful waters that cannot be trusted.
何故にわが痛は息ずわが傷は重くして愈ざるか汝はわれにおけること水をたもたずして人を欺く溪河のごとくなるや
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord: If thou wilt be converted, I will convert thee, and thou shalt stand before my face; and if thou wilt separate the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: they shall be turned to thee, and thou shalt not be turned to them.
是をもてヱホバかくいひたまへり汝もし歸らば我また汝をかへらしめて我前に立しめん汝もし賤をすてて貴をいださば我口のごとくならん彼らは汝に歸らんされど汝は彼らにかへる勿れ
20 And I will make thee to this people as a strong wall of brass: and they shall fight against thee, and shall not prevail: for I am with thee to save thee, and to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
われ汝をこの民の前に堅き銅の牆となさんかれら汝を攻るとも汝にかたざるべしそはわれ汝と偕にありて汝をたすけ汝を救へばなりとヱホバいひたまへり
21 And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the mighty.
我汝を惡人の手より救ひとり汝を怖るべき者の手より放つべし
