Jeremiah 4
1 If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the Lord, return to me: if thou wilt take away thy stumblingblocks out of my sight, thou shalt not be moved.
ヱホバいひたまふイスラエルよ汝もし歸らば我に歸れ汝もし憎むべき者を我前より除かば流蕩はじ
2 And thou shalt swear: As the Lord liveth, in truth, and in judgement, and in justice: and the Gentiles shall bless him, and shall praise him.
かつ汝は眞實と正直と公義とをもてヱホバは活くと誓はんさらば萬國の民は彼によりて福祉をうけ彼によりて誇るべし
3 For thus saith the Lord to the men of Juda and Jerusalem: Break up anew your fallow ground, and sow not upon thorns:
ヱホバ、ユダとヱルサレムの人々にかくいひ給ふ汝等の新田を耕せ荊棘の中に種くなかれ。
4 Be circumcised to the Lord, and take away the foreskins of your hearts, ye men of Juda, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my indignation come forth like fire, and burn, and there be none that can quench it: because of the wickedness of your thoughts.
ユダの人々とヱルサレムに住める者よ汝等みづから割禮をおこなひてヱホバに屬きおのれの心の前の皮を去れ然らざれば汝等の惡行のためわが怒火の如くに發して燃えんこれを滅すものなかるべし
5 Declare ye in Juda, and make it heard in Jerusalem: speak, and sound with the trumpet in the land: cry aloud, and say: Assemble yourselves, and let us go into strong cities.
汝等ユダに告げヱルサレムに示していへ箛を國の中に吹けとまた大聲に呼はりていへ汝等あつまれ我儕堅き邑にゆくべしと
6 Set up the standard in Sion. Strengthen yourselves, stay not: for I bring evil from the north, and great destruction.
シオンに指示す合圖の旗をたてよ逃よ留まる勿れそは我北より災とおほいなる敗壞をきたらすればなり
7 The lion is come up out of his den, and the robber of nations hath roused himself: he is come forth out of his place, to make thy land desolate: thy cities shall be laid waste, remaining without an inhabitant.
獅子は其森よりいでて上り國々を滅すものは進みきたる彼汝の國を荒さんとて旣にその處よりいでたり汝の諸邑は滅されて住む者なきに至らん
8 For this gird yourselves with haircloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned away from us.
この故に汝等麻の衣を身にまとひて悲み哭けそはヱホバの烈しき怒いまだ我儕を離れざればなり
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord: That the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes: and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall be amazed.
ヱホバいひたまひけるはその日王と牧伯等はその心をうしなひ祭司は驚き預言者は異むべし
10 And I said: Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God, hast thou then deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying: You shall have peace: and behold the sword reacheth even to the soul?
我いひけるは嗚呼主ヱホバよ汝はまことに此民とヱルサレムを大にあざむきたまふすなはち汝はなんぢら安かるべしと云給ひしに劍命にまでおよべり
11 At that time it shall be said to this people, and to Jerusalem: A burning wind is in the ways that are in the desert of the way of the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse.
その時この民とヱルサレムにいふものあらん熱き風 曠野の童山よりわが民の女にふききたると此は簸るためにあらず潔むる爲にもあらざるなり
12 A full wind from these places shall come to me: and now I will speak my judgments with them.
これよりも猶はげしき風われより來らん今我かれらに鞫を示さん
13 Behold he shall come up as a cloud, and his chariots as a tempest: his horses are swifter than eagles: woe unto us, for we are laid waste.
みよ彼は雲のごとく上りきたらん其車は颶風のごとくにしてその馬は鷹よりも疾し嗚呼われらは禍なるかな我儕滅さるべし
14 Wash thy heart from wickedness, O Jerusalem, that thou mayst be saved: how long shall hurtful thoughts abide in thee?
ヱルサレムよ汝の心の惡をあらひ潔めよ然ばすくはれん汝の惡き念いつまで汝のうちにあるや
15 For a voice of one declaring from Dan, and giving notice of the idol from mount Ephraim.
ダンより告ぐる聲ありエフライムの山より災を知するなり
16 Say ye to the nations: Behold it is heard in Jerusalem, that guards are coming from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Juda.
汝ら國々の民に告げまたヱルサレムに知らせよ攻めかこむ者遠き國より來りユダの諸邑にむかひて其聲を揚ぐと
17 They are set round about her, as keepers of fields: because she hath provoked me to wrath, saith the Lord.
彼らは田圃をまもる者のごとくにこれを圍むこは我に從はざりしに由るとヱホバいひ給ふ
18 They ways, and thy devices have brought these things upon thee: this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it hath touched thy heart.
汝の途と汝の行これを汝に招けりこれは汝の惡なり誠に苦くして汝の心におよぶ
19 My bowels, my bowels are in pain, the senses of my heart are troubled within me, I will not hold my peace, for my soul hath heard the sound of the trumpet, the cry of battle.
嗚呼わが腸よ我腸よ痛苦心の底におよびわが心胸とどろくわれ默しがたし我靈魂よ汝箛の聲と軍の鬨をきくなり
20 Destruction upon destruction is called for, and all the earth is laid waste: my tents are destroyed on a sudden, and my pavilions in a moment.
敗滅に敗滅のしらせありこの地は皆荒されわが幕屋は頃刻にやぶられ我幕は忽ち破られたり
21 How long shall I see men fleeing away, how long shall I hear the sound of the trumpet?
我が旗をみ箛の聲をきくは何時までぞや
22 For my foolish people have not known me: they are foolish and senseless children: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
それ我民は愚にして我を識らず拙き子等にして曉ることなし彼らは惡を行ふに智けれども善を行ふことを知ず
23 I beheld the earth, and lo it was void, and nothing: and the heavens, and there was no light in them.
われ地を見るに形なくして空くあり天を仰ぐに其處に光なし
24 I looked upon the mountains, and behold they trembled: and all the hills were troubled.
我山を見るに皆震へまた諸の丘も動けり
25 I beheld, and lo there was no man: and all the birds of the air were gone.
我見に人あることなし天空の鳥も皆飛されり
26 I looked, and behold Carmel was a wilderness: and all its cities were destroyed at the presence of the Lord, and at the presence of the wrath of his indignation.
我みるに肥美なる地は沙漠となり且その諸の邑はヱホバの前にその烈しき怒の前に毀たれたり
27 For thus saith the Lord: All the land shall be desolate, but yet I will not utterly destroy.
そはヱホバかくいひたまへりすべて此地は荒地とならんされど我ことごとくは之を滅さじ
28 The earth shall mourn, and the heavens shall lament from above: because I have spoken, I have purposed, and I have not repented, neither am I turned away from it.
故に地は皆哀しみ上なる天は暗くならん我すでに之をいひ且これを定めて悔いずまた之をなす事を止ざればなり
29 At the voice of the horsemen, and the archers, all the city is fled away; they have entered into thickets and have climbed up the rocks: all the cities are forsaken, and there dwelleth not a man in them.
邑の人みな騎兵と射者の咄喊のために逃て叢林にいり又岩の上に升れり邑はみな棄られて其處に住む人なし
30 But when thou art spoiled what wilt thou do? though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, and paintest thy eyes with stibic stone, thou shalt dress thyself out in vain: thy lovers have despised thee, they will seek thy life.
滅されたる者よ汝何をなさんとするや設令汝くれなゐの衣をき金の飾物をもて身を粧ひ目をぬりて大くするとも汝が身を粧ふはいたづらなり汝の戀人らは汝をいやしめ汝のいのちを索るなり
31 For I have heard the voice as of a woman in travail, anguishes as of a woman in labor of a child. The voice of the daughter of Sion, dying away, spreading her hands: Woe is me, for my soul hath fainted because of them that are slain.
われ子をうむ婦のごとき聲首子をうむ者の苦むがごとき聲を聞く是れシオンの女の聲なりかれ自ら歎き手をのべていふ嗚呼われは禍なるかな我靈魂殺す者のために疲れはてぬ
