Jeremiah 16
1 A message from the Lord that came to me, saying,
ヱホバの言また我にのぞみていふ
2 Don't marry or have children here.
汝この處にて妻を娶るなかれ子女を得るなかれ
3 This is what the Lord says about children born here, and about their mothers and fathers—their parents here in this country:
此處に生るる子女とこの地に之を生む母と之を生む父とに就てヱホバかくいひたまふ
4 They will die from fatal diseases. No one will mourn for them. Their bodies won't be buried, but will lie on the ground like manure. They will be destroyed by war and famine, and their bodies will be food for birds of prey and wild animals.
彼らは慘しき病に死し哀まれず葬られずして糞土のごとくに田地の面にあらんまた劍と饑饉に滅されて其屍は天空の鳥と地の獸の食物とならん
5 This is what the Lord says: Don't enter a home where people are having a funeral meal. Don't visit them to mourn or to offer condolences, for I have taken away my peace, my trustworthy love, and my mercy from these people, declares the Lord.
ヱホバかくいひたまへり喪ある家にいる勿れまた往て之を哀み嗟く勿れそはわれ我平安と恩寵と矜恤をこの民より取ばなりとヱホバいひたまへり
6 Everyone, from the most important to the least, will die in this country. They will not be buried or mourned; there will be no rites for the dead such as cutting oneself or shaving of heads.
大なる者も小さき者もこの地に死べし彼らは葬られずまた彼らのために哀む者なく自ら傷くる者なく髮をそる者なかるべし
7 No funeral receptions will be held to comfort those who mourn—not even a comforting drink is to be offered at the loss of a father or mother.
またその哀むときパンをさきて其死者のために之を慰むるものなく又父あるひは母のために慰藉の杯を彼らに飮しむる者なかるべし
8 Don't go into a house where people are celebrating and sit down with them to eat and drink.
汝また筵宴の家にいりて偕に坐して食飮する勿れ
9 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am going to put a stop right here, while you watch, to any sounds of celebration and joy, the happy voices of the groom and bride.
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ視よ汝の目の前汝の世に在るときにわれ欣喜の聲と歡樂の聲と新娶者の聲と新婦の聲とを此處に絕しめん
10 When you explain all this to them they'll ask you, “Why has the Lord ordered that such a terrible disaster should happen to us? What did we do wrong? What sin have we committed against the Lord our God?”
汝このすべての言を斯民に告るとき彼ら汝に問ふてヱホバわれらを責てこの大なる災を示したまふは何故ぞやまたわれらに何の惡事あるやわが神ヱホバに背きてわれらのなせし罪は何ぞやといはば
11 Answer them: It's because your forefathers deserted me, declares the Lord. They went and followed other gods, serving them and worshiping them. They abandoned me and didn't keep my laws.
汝かれらに答ふべしヱホバいひたまふ是汝らの先祖われを棄て他の神に從ひこれに奉へこれを拜しまた我をすてわが律法を守らざりしによる
12 You however have done even more evil than your forefathers. Look at how all of you followed your own stubborn evil thinking instead of obeying me.
汝らは汝らの先祖よりも多く惡をなせりみよ汝らはおのおの自己の惡き心の剛愎なるにしたがひて我にきかず
13 So I'm going to throw you out of this country and exile you in a country unfamiliar to you and your forefathers. There you'll serve other gods day and night, because I won't help you at all.
故にわれ汝らを此の地より逐ひて汝らと汝らの先祖の識ざる地にいたらしめん汝らかしこにて晝夜ほかの神に奉へん是わが汝らを憐まざるによるなりと
14 But listen! The time is coming, declares the Lord, when people won't any longer make vows, saying. “On the Lord's life, who led the Israelites out of Egypt.”
ヱホバいひたまふ然ばみよ此後イスラエルの民をエジプトの地より導きいだせしヱホバは活くといふことなくして
15 Instead they'll say, “On the Lord's life, who led the Israelites back from the northern country and all the other countries where he had exiled them.” I'm going to bring them back to the country I gave their forefathers.
イスラエルの民を北の地とそのすべて逐やられし地より導出せしヱホバは活くといふ日きたらん我かれらを我その先祖に與へしかれらの地に導きかへるべし
16 But for the moment I'm going to send for many fishermen and they'll catch them, declares the Lord. Then I'm going to send for many hunters, and they'll hunt them down on every mountain and hill, even from their hiding places in the rocks.
ヱホバいひたまふみよ我おほくの漁者をよび來りて彼らを漁らせまたその後おほくの獵者を呼來りて彼らを諸の山もろもろの岡および岩の穴より獵いださしめん
17 I see everything they're doing. They can't hide from me, and their sins aren't hidden from me either.
我目はかれらの諸の途を鑒る皆我にかくるるところなし又その惡は我目に匿れざるなり
18 First I'm going to pay them back double for their wickedness and sin, because they have made my land unclean with the lifeless bodies of their disgusting idols, filling my special country with their offensive pagan images.
われまづ倍して其惡とその罪に報いんそは彼らその汚れたる者の屍をもて我地を汚しその惡むべきものをもて我產業に充せばなり
19 Lord, you are my strength and my fortress, my safe place in the time of trouble. Nations will come to you from all over the earth, and they will say, “The religion of our forefathers was a total lie! The idols they worshiped were useless—no good at all.
ヱホバ我の力 我の城 難の時の逃場よ萬國の民は地の極より汝にきたりわれらの先祖の嗣るところの者は惟謊と虛浮事と益なき物のみなりといはん
20 How can people make gods for themselves? These aren't gods!”
人豈神にあらざる者をおのれの神となすべけんや
21 Now they'll see! I'll show them, and then they'll recognize my power and strength. Then they'll know that I am the Lord!
故にみよわれ此度かれらに知らしむるところあらん即ち我手と我能をかれらに知らしめん彼らは我名のヱホバなるを知るべし
