Jeremiah 9
1 Who will give water to my head, and a fountain of tears to my eyes? and I will weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people.
ああ我わが首を水となし我目を涙の泉となすことをえんものを我民の女の殺されたる者の爲に晝夜哭かん
2 Who will give me in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men, and I will leave my people, and depart from them? because they are all adulterers, an assembly of transgressors.
嗚呼われ曠野に旅人の寓所をえんものを我民を離れてさりゆかん彼らはみな姦淫するもの悖れる者の族なればなり
3 And they have bent their tongue, as a bow, for lies, and not for truth: they have strengthened themselves upon the earth, for they have proceeded from evil to evil, and me they have not known, saith the Lord.
彼らは弓を援くがごとく其舌をもて僞をいだす彼らは此地において眞實のために強からず惡より惡にすすみまた我を知ざるなりとヱホバいひたまふ
4 Let every man take heed of his neighbor, and let his not trust in any brother of his: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every friend will walk deceitfully.
汝らおのおの其隣に心せよ何の兄弟をも信ずる勿れ兄弟はみな欺きをなし隣はみな讒りまはればなり
5 And a man shall mock his brother, and they will not speak the truth: for they have taught their tongue to speak lies: they have laboured to commit iniquity.
彼らはおのおの其隣を欺きかつ眞實をいはず其舌に謊をかたることを敎へ惡をなすに勞る
6 Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit: Through deceit they have refused to know me, saith the Lord.
汝の住居は詭譎の中にあり彼らは詭譎のために我を識ことをいなめりとヱホバいひたまふ
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will melt, and try them: for what else shall I do before the daughter of my people?
故に萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまへり視よ我かれらを鎔し試むべしわれ我民の女の事を如何になすべきや
8 Their tongue is a piercing arrow, it hath spoken deceit: with his mouth one speaketh peace with his friend, and secretly he lieth in wait for him.
彼らの舌は殺す矢のごとしかれら詭をいふまた其口をもて隣におだやかにかたれども其心の中には害をはかるなり
9 Shall I not visit them for these things, saith the Lord? or shall not my soul be revenged on such a nation?
ヱホバいひたまふ我これらの事のために彼らを罰せざらんや我心はかくのごとき民に仇を復さざらんや
10 For the mountains I will take up weeping and lamentation, and for the beautiful places of the desert, mourning: because they are burnt up, for that there is not a man that passeth through them: and they have not heard the voice of the owner: from the fowl of the air to the beasts they are gone away and departed.
われ山のために泣き咷び野の牧場のために悲むこれらは焚れて過る人なしまたここに牛羊の聲をきかず天空の鳥も獸も皆逃てさりぬ
11 And I will make Jerusalem to be heaps of sand, and dens of dragons: and I will make the cities of Juda desolate, for want of an inhabitant.
われヱルサレムを邱墟とし山犬の巢となさんまたユダの諸の邑々を荒して住む人なからしめん
12 Who is the wise man, that may understand this, and to whom the word of the mouth of the Lord may come that he may declare this, why the land hath perished, and is burnt up like a wilderness, which none passeth through?
智慧ありてこの事を曉る人は誰ぞやヱホバの口の言を受てこれを示さん者は誰ぞやこの地滅されまた野のごとく焚れて過る者なきにいたりしは何故ぞ
13 And the Lord said: Because they have forsaken my law, which I gave them, and have not heard my voice, and have not walked in it.
ヱホバいひたまふ是彼ら我その前に立しところの律法をすて我聲をきかず之に從はざるによりてなり
14 But they have gone after the perverseness of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them.
彼らはその心の剛愎なるとその列祖たちがおのれに敎へしバアルとに從へり
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will feed this people with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
この故に萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ視よわれ彼等すなはち斯民に茵蔯を食はせ毒なる水を飮せ
16 And I will scatter them among the nations, which they and their fathers have not known: and I will send the sword after them till they be consumed.
彼らもその先祖たちもしらざりし國人のうちに彼らを散しまた彼らを滅し盡すまで其後に劍をつかはさん
17 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, and let them come: and send to them that are wise women, and let them make haste:
萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふ汝らよく考へ哭婦をよびきたれ又人を遣して智き婦をまねけよ
18 Let them hasten and take up a lamentation for us: let our eyes shed tears, and our eyelids run down with waters.
彼らは速にきたりて我儕のために哭哀しみ我儕の目に涙をこぼさせ我儕の目蓋より水を溢れしめん
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Sion: How are we wasted and greatly confounded? because we have left the land, because our dwellings are cast down.
シオンより哀の聲きこゆ云く嗚呼われら滅され我ら痛く辱めらる我らは其地を去り彼らはわが住家を毀ちたり
20 Hear therefore, ye women, the word of the Lord: and let your ears receive the word of his mouth: and teach your daughters wailing: and every one her neighbor mourning.
婦たちよヱホバの言をきけ汝らの耳に其口の言をいれよ汝らの女に哭ことを敎へおのおのその隣に哀の歌を敎ふべし
21 For death is come up through our windows, it is entered into our houses to destroy the children from without, the young men from the streets.
そは死のぼりてわれらの窓よりいり我らの殿舍に入り外にある諸子を絕し街にある壯年を殺さんとすればなり
22 Speak: Thus saith the Lord: Even the carcass of man shall fall as dung upon the face of the country, and as grass behind the back of the mower, and there is none to gather it.
ヱホバかくいへりと汝云ふべし人の屍は糞土のごとく田野に墮ちんまた收穫者のうしろに殘りて斂めずにある把のごとくならんと
23 Thus saith the Lord: Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, and let not the strong man glory in his strength, and let not the rich man glory in his riches:
ヱホバかくいひたまふ智慧ある者はその智慧に誇る勿れ力ある者は其力に誇るなかれ富者はその富に誇ること勿れ
24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, for I am the Lord that exercise mercy, and judgment, and justice in the earth: for these things please me, saith the Lord.
誇る者はこれをもて誇るべし即ち明哲して我を識る事とわがヱホバにして地に仁惠と公道と公義とを行ふ者なるを知る事是なり我これらを悦ぶなりとヱホバいひたまふ
25 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, and I will visit upon every one that hath the foreskin circumcised.
ヱホバいひたまひけるは視よわれすべて陽の皮に割禮をうけたる者すなはちエジプトとユダとエドムとアンモンの子孫とモアブと野にをりてその鬚を剃る者とを罰する日きたらんそはすべて異邦人は割禮をうけずまたイスラエルの家も心に割禮をうけざればなり
26 Upon Egypt, and upon Juda, and upon Edom, and upon the children of Ammon, and upon Moab, and upon all that have their hair polled round, that dwell in the desert: for all the nations are uncircumcised in the flesh, but all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.
ヱホバいひたまひけるは視よわれすべて陽の皮に割禮をうけたる者すなはちエジプトとユダとエドムとアンモンの子孫とモアブと野にをりてその鬚を剃る者とを罰する日きたらんそはすべて異邦人は割禮をうけずまたイスラエルの家も心に割禮をうけざればなり
