Jeremiah 44
1 The word that came to Jeremias, concerning all the Jews that dwelt in the land of Egypt, dwelling in Magdal, and in Taphnis, and in Memphis, and in the land of Phatures, saying:
エジプトの地に住るところのユダの人衆すなはちミグドル、タパネス、ノフ、パテロスの地に住る者の事につきてヱレミヤに臨みし言に曰く
2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: You have seen all this evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Juda: and behold they are desolate this day, and there is not an inhabitant in them:
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいふ汝らは我ヱルサレムとユダの諸邑に降せしところの災をみたり視よこれらは今日すでに空曠となりて住む人なし
3 Because of the wickedness which they have committed, to provoke me to wrath, and to go and offer sacrifice, and worship other gods, which neither they, nor you, nor your fathers knew.
こは彼ら惡をなして我を怒らせしによる即ちかれらは己も汝らも汝らの先祖等も識ざるところの他の神にゆきて香を焚き且これに奉へたり
4 And I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising early, and sending, and saying: Do not commit this abominable thing, which I hate.
われ我僕なる預言者たちを汝らに遣し頻にこれを遣して請ふ汝らわが嫌ふところの此憎むべき事を行ふ勿れといはせけるに
5 But they heard not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their evil ways, and not to sacrifice to strange gods.
彼ら聽かず耳を傾けず他の神に香を焚きてその惡を離れざりし
6 Wherefore my indignation and my fury was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem: and they are turned to desolation and waste, as at this day.
是によりて我震怒とわが憤恨ユダの諸邑とヱルサレムの街にそそぎて之を焚たれば其等は今日のごとく荒れかつ傾圮たり
7 And now thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Why do you commit this great evil against your own souls, that there should die of you man and woman, child and suckling out of the midst of Juda, and no remnant should be left you:
萬軍の神イスラエルの神ヱホバいまかくいふ汝ら何なれば大なる惡をなして己の靈魂を害しユダの中より汝らの男と女と孩童と乳哺子を絕て一人も遺らざらしめんとするや
8 In that you provoke me to wrath with the works of your hands, by sacrificing to other gods in the land of Egypt, into which you are come to dwell there: and that you should perish, and be a curse, and a reproach to all the nations of the earth?
何なれば汝ら其手の行爲をもて我を怒らせ汝らが往て住ふところのエジプトの地に於て他の神に香を焚きて己の身を滅し地の萬國の中に呪詛となり凌辱とならんとするや
9 Have you forgotten the evils of your fathers, and the evils of the kings of Juda, and the evils of their wives, and your evils, and the evils of your wives, that they have done in the land of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
ユダの地とヱルサレムの街にて行ひし汝らの先祖等の惡ユダの王等の惡其妻等の惡および汝らの身の惡汝らの妻等の惡を汝ら忘れしや
10 They are not cleansed even to this day: neither have they feared, nor walked in the law of the Lord, nor in my commandments, which I set before you and your fathers.
彼らは今日にいたるまで悔いずまた畏れず汝らと汝らの先祖等の前に立たる我律法とわが典例に循ひて行まざるなり
11 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will set my face upon you for evil: and I will destroy all Juda.
是故に萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいふ視よわれ面を汝らにむけて災を降しユダの人衆を悉く絕ん
12 And I will take the remnant of Juda that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt, and to dwell there: and they shall be all consumed in the land of Egypt: they shall fall by the sword, and by the famine: and they shall be consumed from the least even to the greatest, by the sword, and by the famine shall they die: and they shall be for an execration, and for a wonder, and for a curse, and for a reproach.
又われエジプトの地にすまんとてその面をこれにむけて往しところの彼ユダの遺れる者を取らん彼らは皆滅されてエジプトの地に仆れん彼らは劍と饑饉に滅され微者も大者も劍と饑饉によりて死べし而して呪詛となり詫異となり罵詈となり凌辱とならん
13 And I will visit them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have visited Jerusalem by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence.
われヱルサレムを罰せし如く劍と饑饉と疫病をもてエジプトに住る者を罰すべし
14 And there shall be none that shall escape, and remain of the remnant of the Jews that are gone to sojourn in the land of Egypt: and that shall return into the land of Juda, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there: there shall none return but they that shall flee.
是をもてエジプトの地に往て彼處に住るところのユダの遺れる者の中に一人も逃れまたは遺りてその心にしたひて歸り住はんとねがふところのユダの地に歸るもの無るべし逃るる者の外には歸る者無るべし
15 Then all the men that knew that their wives sacrificed to other gods: and all the women of whom there stood by a great multitude, and all the people of them that dwelt in the land of Egypt in Phatures, answered Jeremias, saying:
是に於てその妻が香を他の神に焚しことを知れる人々および其處に立てる婦人等の大なる群衆並にエジプトの地のパテロスに住るところの民ヱレミヤに答へて云けるは
16 As for the word which thou hast spoken to us in the name of the Lord, we will not hearken to thee:
汝がヱホバの名をもてわれらに述し言は我ら聽かじ
17 But we will certainly do every word that shall proceed out of our own mouth, to sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we and our fathers have done, our kings, and our princes in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem: and we were filled with bread, and it was well with us, and we saw no evil.
我らは必ず我らの口より出る言を行ひ我らが素なせし如く香を天后に焚きまた酒をその前に灌ぐべし即ちユダの諸邑とヱルサレムの街にて我らと我らの先祖等および我らの王等と我らの牧伯等の行ひし如くせん當時われらは糧に飽き福をえて災に遇ざりし
18 But since we left off to offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword, and by famine.
我ら天后に香を焚くことを止め酒をその前に灌がずなりし時より諸の物に乏しくなり劍と饑饉に滅されたり
19 And if we offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and pour out drink offerings to her: did we make cakes to worship her, to pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?
我らが天后に香を焚き酒をその前に灌ぐに方りて之に象りてパンを製り酒を灌ぎしは我らの夫等の許せし事にあらずや
20 And Jeremias spoke to all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying:
ヱレミヤ即ち男女の諸の人衆および此言をもて答へたる諸の民にいひけるは
21 Was it not the sacrifice that you offered in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and Sour fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, which the Lord hath remembered, and hath it not entered into his heart?
ユダの諸邑とヱルサレムの街にて汝らと汝らの先祖等および汝等の王等と汝らの牧伯等および其地の民の香を焚しことはヱホバ之を憶えまた心に思ひたまふにあらずや
22 So that the Lord could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which you have committed: therefore your land is become a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.
ヱホバは汝らの惡き爲のため汝らの憎むべき行の爲に再び忍ぶことをえせざりきこの故に汝らの地は今日のごとく荒地となり詫異となり呪詛となり住む人なき地となれり
23 Because you have sacrificed to idols, and have sinned against the Lord: and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord, and have not walked in his law, and in his commandments, and in his testimonies: therefore are these evils come upon you, as at this day.
汝ら香を焚きヱホバに罪を犯しヱホバの聲に聽したがはずその律法と憲法と證詞に循ひて行まざりしに由て今日のごとく此災汝らにおよべり
24 And Jeremias said to all the people, and to all the women: Hear ye the word of the Lord, all Juda, you that dwell in the land of Egypt:
ヱレミヤまたすべての民と婦等にいひけるはエジプトの地に居るユダの子孫よヱホバの言をきけ
25 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, saying: You and your wives have spoken with your mouth, and fulfilled with your hands, saying: Let us perform our vows which we have made, to offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her: you have fulfilled your vows, and have performed them indeed.
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ汝らと汝らの妻等は口をもていひ手をもて成し我ら香を天后に焚き酒を灌ぎて立しところの誓を必ず成就んといふ汝ら必ず誓をたてかならず其誓を成就んとす
26 Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord, all Juda, you that dwell in the land of Egypt: Behold I have sworn by my great name, saith the Lord: that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Juda, in the land of Egypt, saying: The Lord God liveth.
この故にエジプトの地に住るユダの人々よヱホバの言をきけヱホバいひたまふわれ我大なる名を指て誓ふエジプトの全地にユダの人々一人もその口に主ヱホバは活くといひて再び我名を稱ふることなきにいたらん
27 Behold I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Juda that are in the land of Egypt, shall be consumed, by the sword, and by famine, till there be an end of them.
視よわれ彼らをうかがはん是福をあたふる爲にあらず禍をくださん爲なりエジプトの地に居るユダの人々は劍と饑饉に滅びて絕るにいたらん
28 And a few men that shall flee from the sword, shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Juda: and all the remnant of Juda that are gone into the land of Egypt to dwell there, shall know whose word shall stand, mine, or theirs.
然ど劍を逃るる僅少の者はエジプトの地を出てユダの地に歸らん又エジプトの地にゆきて彼處に寄寓れるユダの遺れる者はその立ところの言は我のなるか彼らのなるかを知るにいたるべし
29 And this shall be a sign to you, saith the Lord, that I will punish you in this place: that you may know that my words shall be accomplished indeed against you for evil.
ヱホバいひ給ふわがこの處にて汝らを罰する兆は是なり我かくして我汝らに禍をくださんといひし言の必ず立ことを知しめん
30 Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will deliver Pharao Ephree king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life: as I delivered Sedecias king of Juda into the hand of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon his enemy, and that sought his life.
すなはちヱホバかくいひたまふ視よわれユダの王ゼデキヤを其生命を索むる敵なるバビロンの王ネブカデネザルの手に付せしが如くエジプトの王パロホフラを其敵の手その生命を索むる者の手に付さん
