Jeremiah 2
1 Moreover, the woorde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
ヱホバの言我にのぞみていふ
2 Goe, and crie in the eares of Ierusalem, saying, Thus sayeth the Lord, I remember thee, with the kindenes of thy youth and the loue of thy marriage, when thou wentest after me in the wildernes in a lande that was not sowen.
ゆきてヱルサレムに住る者の耳につげよヱホバ斯くいふ我汝につきて汝の若き時の懇切なんぢが契をなせしときの愛曠野なる種播ぬ地にて我に從ひしことを憶ゆと
3 Israel was as a thing halowed vnto the Lord, and his first fruits: all they that eat it, shall offend: euil shall come vpon them, saith the Lord.
イスラエルはヱホバの聖物にしてその初に結べる實なりすべて之を食ふものは罰せられ災にあふべしとヱホバ云ひたまへり
4 Heare ye the word of the Lord, O house of Iaakob, and all the families of the house of Israel.
ヤコブの家とイスラエルの家の諸の族よヱホバの言をきけ
5 Thus sayeth the Lord, What iniquitie haue your fathers founde in mee, that they are gone farre from mee, and haue walked after vanitie, and are become vaine?
ヱホバかくいひたまふ汝等の先祖は我に何の惡事ありしを見て我に遠かり 虛しき物にしたがひて虛しくなりしや
6 For they saide not, Where is the Lord that brought vs vp out of the lande of Egypt? that led vs through the wildernesse, through a desert, and waste land, through a drie land, and by the shadow of death, by a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?
かれらは我儕をエジプトの地より導きいだし曠野なる岩穴ある荒たる地 旱きたる死の蔭の地 人の過ぎざる地 人の住はざる地を通らしめしヱホバはいづこにあるといはざりき
7 And I brought you into a plentifull countrey, to eat the fruit thereof, and the commodities of the same: but when yee entred, yee defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
われ汝等を導きて園のごとき地にいれ其實と佳物をくらはしめたり然ど汝等此處にいり我地を汚し我產業を憎むべきものとなせり
8 The priests said not, Where is the Lord? and they that should minister the Lawe, knewe me not: the pastours also offended against me, and the Prophets prophesied in Baal, and went after things that did not profite.
祭司はヱホバは何處にいますといはず律法をあつかふ者は我を知らず牧者は我に背き預言者はバアルによりて預言し益なきものに從へり
9 Wherefore I wil yet plead with you, saith the Lord, and I will pleade with your childrens children.
故にわれ尚汝等とあらそはん且汝の子孫とあらそふべしとヱホバいひたまふ
10 For goe ye to the yles of Chittim, and beholde, and sende vnto Kedar. and take diligent heede, and see whether there be such things.
汝等キッテムの諸島にわたりて觀よまた使者をケダルにつかはし斯のごとき事あるや否やを詳細に察せしめよ
11 Hath any nation changed their gods, which yet are no gods? but my people haue chaged their glorie, for that which doeth not profite.
その神を神にあらざる者に易たる國ありや然るに我民はその榮を益なき物にかへたり
12 O yee heauens, be astonied at this: bee afraid and vtterly confounded, sayeth the Lord.
天よこの事を驚け慄けいたく怖れよとヱホバいひたまふ
13 For my people haue committed two euils: they haue forsaken mee the fountaine of liuing waters, to digge them pittes, euen broken pittes, that can holde no water.
蓋わが民はふたつの惡事をなせり即ち活る水の源なる我をすて自己水溜を掘れりすなはち壞れたる水溜にして水を有たざる者なり
14 Is Israel a seruaunt, or is hee borne in the house? why then is he spoiled?
イスラエルはしもべなるか家にうまれし僕なるかいかにして擄掠となれるや
15 The lions roared vpon him and yelled, and they haue made his land waste: his cities are burnt without an inhabitant.
わかき獅子かれにむかひて哮えその聲をあげてその地を荒せりその諸邑は焚れて住む人なし
16 Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes haue broken thine head.
ノフとタパネスの諸子も汝の頭首の髮をくらはん
17 Hast not thou procured this vnto thy selfe, because thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, when he led thee by the way?
汝の神ヱホバの汝を途にみちびきたまへる時に汝これを棄たるによりて此事汝におよぶにあらずや
18 And what hast thou now to do in the way of Egypt? to drinke the water of Nilus? or what makest thou in the way of Asshur? to drinke the water of the Riuer?
汝ナイルの水を飮んとてエジプトの路にあるは何ゆゑぞまた河の水を飮んとてアツスリヤの路にあるは何故ぞ
19 Thine owne wickednes shall correct thee, and thy turnings backe shall reprooue thee: know therefore and beholde, that it is an euil thing, and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God, and that my feare is not in thee, sayeth the Lord God of hostes.
汝の惡は汝をこらしめ汝の背は汝をせめん斯く汝が汝の神ヱホバをすてたると我を畏るることの汝の衷にあらざるとは惡く且つ苦きことなるを汝見てしるべしと主なる萬軍のヱホバいひ給ふ
20 For of olde time I haue broken thy yoke, and burst thy bondes, and thou saidest, I will no more transgresse, but like an harlot thou runnest about vpon al hie hilles, and vnder all greene trees.
汝昔より汝の軛ををり汝の縛を截ちていひけるは我つかふることをせじと即ち汝すべての高山のうへと諸の靑木の下に妓女のごとく身をかがめたり
21 Yet I had planted thee, a noble vine, whose plants were all natural: howe then art thou turned vnto me into the plants of a strange vine?
われ汝を植て佳き葡萄の樹となし全き眞の種となせしにいかなれば汝われに向ひて異なる葡萄の樹の惡き枝にかはりしや
22 Though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much sope, yet thine iniquitie is marked before me, sayeth the Lord God.
たとひ嚥哘をもて自ら濯ひまたおほくの灰汁を加ふるも汝の惡はわが前に汚れたりと主ヱホバいひ給ふ
23 Howe canst thou say, I am not polluted, neither haue I followed Baalim? beholde thy waies in the valley, and know, what thou hast done: thou art like a swift dromedarie, that runneth by his waies.
汝いかで我は汚れずバアルに從はざりしといふことを得んや汝谷の中のおこなひを觀よ汝のなせしことを知れ汝は疾走るわかき牝の駱駝にしてその途にさまよへり
24 And as a wilde asse, vsed to the wildernesse, that snuffeth vp the winde by occasion at her pleasure: who can turne her backe? all they that seeke her, will not wearie themselues, but wil finde her in her moneth.
汝は曠野になれたる野の牝驢馬なり其欲のために風にあへぐその欲のうごくときは誰かこれをとどめえん凡てこれを尋る者は自ら勞するにおよばすその月の中に之にあふべし
25 Keepe thou thy feete from barenes, and thy throte from thirst: but thou saidest desperately, No, for I haue loued strangers, and them will I follow.
汝足をつつしみて跣足にならざるやうにし喉をつつしみて渇かぬやうにせよしかるに汝いふ是は徒然なり然りわれ異なる國の者を愛してこれに從ふなりと
26 As the theefe is ashamed, when he is foud, so is the house of Israel ashamed, they, their kings, their princes and their Priests, and their Prophets,
盜人の執へられて恥辱をうくるがごとくイスラエルの家恥辱をうく彼等その王その牧伯その祭司その預言者みな然り
27 Saying to a tree, Thou art my father, and to a stone, Thou hast begotten me: for they haue turned their back vnto me, and not their face: but in ye time of their troble they wil say, Arise, and help vs.
彼等木にむかひて汝は我父なりといひまた石にむかひて汝は我を生みたりといふ彼等は背を我にむけて其面をわれに向けずされど彼等災にあふときは起てわれらを救ひ給へといふ
28 But where are thy gods, that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can helpe thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the nomber of thy cities, are thy gods, O Iudah.
汝がおのれの爲に造りし神はいづこにあるやもし汝が災にあふときかれら汝を救ふを得ば起つべきなりそはユダよ汝の神は汝の邑の數に同じければなり
29 Wherefore wil ye pleade with me? ye all haue rebelled against me, sayeth the Lord.
汝等なんぞ我とあらそふや汝らは皆我に背けりとヱホバいひ給ふ
30 I haue smitten your children in vaine, they receiued no correction: your owne sworde hath deuoured your Prophets like a destroying lyon.
我が汝らの衆子を打しは益なかりき彼等は懲治をうけず汝等の劍は猛き獅子のごとく汝等の預言者を滅せり
31 O generation, take heede to the worde of the Lord: haue I bene as a wildernesse vnto Israel? or a lande of darkenesse? Wherefore sayeth my people then, We are lordes, we will come no more vnto thee?
なんぢらこの世の人よヱホバの言をきけ我はイスラエルのために曠野となりしや暗き地となりしや何故にわが民はわれら徘徊りて復汝に來らじといふや
32 Can a maid forget her ornament, or a bride her attire? yet my people haue forgotten me, daies without number.
それ處女はその飾物を忘れんや新婦はその帶をわすれんや然ど我民の我を忘れたる日は數へがたし
33 Why doest thou prepare thy way, to seeke amitie? euen therefore will I teach thee, that thy waies are wickednesse.
汝愛を得んとて如何に汝の途を美くするぞよされば汝の行はあしき事を爲すに慣たり
34 Also in thy wings is founde the bloud of the soules of ye poore innocents: I haue not found it in holes, but vpon all these places.
また汝の裾に辜なき貧者の生命の血ありわれ盜人の穿たる所にて之を見ずしてすべて此等の上にこれを見る
35 Yet thou saiest, Because I am giltles, surely his wrath shall turne from mee: beholde, I will enter with thee into iudgement, because thou saiest, I haue not sinned.
されど汝いふわれは辜なし故にその怒はかならず我に臨まじとみよ汝われ罪を犯さざりしといふにより我汝とあらそふべし
36 Why runnest thou about so much to change thy waies? for thou shalt be confounded of Egypt, as thou art confounded of Asshur.
なんぢ何故にその途を易んとて迅くはしるや汝アツスリヤに恥辱をうけしごとくエジプトにも亦恥辱をうけん
37 For thou shalt goe foorth from thence, and thine hands vpon thine head, because the Lord hath reiected thy confidence, and thou shalt not prosper thereby.
汝兩手を頭に置てかしこよりも出去らんそはヱホバ汝のたのむところの者を棄れば汝彼等によりて望を遂ること無るべければなり
