Jeremiah 34
1 The worde which came vnto Ieremiah from the Lord (when Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel, and all his hoste, and all the kingdomes of the earth, that were vnder the power of his hand, and all people fought against Ierusalem, and against all the cites thereof) saying,
バビロンの王ネブカデネザルその全軍および己の手の下に屬するところの地の列國の人および諸の民を率てヱルサレムとその諸邑を攻めて戰ふ時ヱホバの言ヱレミヤに臨みていふ
2 Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Goe, and speake to Zedekiah King of Iudah, and tell him, Thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, I will giue this citie into the hand of the King of Babel, and he shall burne it with fire,
イスラエルの神ヱホバかくいふ汝ゆきてユダの王ゼデキヤに告ていふべしヱホバかくいひたまふ視よわれ此邑をバビロン王の手に付さん彼火をもてこれを焚べし
3 And thou shall not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and deliuered into his hand, and thine eyes shall beholde the face of the King of Babel, and he shall speake with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babel.
汝はその手を脱れず必ず擒へられてこれが手に付されん汝の目はバビロン王の目をみ又かれの口は汝の口と語ふべし汝はバビロンにゆくにいたらん
4 Yet heare the worde of the Lord, O Zedekiah, King of Iudah: thus sayth the Lord of thee, Thou shalt not dye by the sword,
然どユダの王ゼデキヤよヱホバの言をきけヱホバ汝の事につきてかくいひたまふ汝は劍に死じ
5 But thou shalt die in peace: and according to the burning for thy fathers the former Kings which were before thee, so shall they burne odours for thee, and they shall lament thee, saying, Oh lorde: for I haue pronounced the worde, sayth the Lord.
汝は安らかに死なん民は汝の先祖たる汝の先の王等の爲に香を焚しごとく汝のためにも香を焚き且汝のために嘆て嗚呼主よといはん我この言をいふとヱホバいひたまふ
6 Then Ieremiah the Prophet spake all these words vnto Zedekiah King of Iudah in Ierusalem,
預言者エレミヤすなはち此言をことごとくヱルサレムにてユダの王ゼデキヤにつげたり
7 (When the King of Babels hoste fought against Ierusalem, and against all the cities of Iudah, that were left, euen against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these strong cities remained of the cities of Iudah)
時にバビロン王の軍勢はヱルサレムおよび存れるユダの諸の邑を攻めラキシとアゼカを攻て戰ひをる其はユダの諸邑のうちに是等の城の邑尚存りゐたればなり
8 This is the worde that came vnto Ieremiah from the Lord, after that the King Zedekiah had made a couenant with all the people, which were at Ierusalem, to proclaime libertie vnto them,
ゼデキヤ王ヱルサレムに居る諸の民と契約を立てて彼らに釋放の事を宣示せし後ヱホバの言ヱレミヤに臨めり
9 That euery man should let his seruant go free, and euery man his handmayde, which was an Ebrue or an Ebruesse, and that none should serue himselfe of them, to wit, of a Iewe his brother.
その契約はすなはち人をしておのおの其僕婢なるヘブルの男女を釋たしめその兄弟なるユダヤ人を奴隸となさざらしむる者なりき
10 Now when all the princes, and all the people which had agreed to the couenant, heard that euery one should let his seruant go free, and euery one his handmaide, and that none should serue them selues of them any more, they obeyed and let them go.
この契約をなせし牧伯等とすべての民は人おのおのその僕婢を釋ちて再び之を奴隸となすべからずといふをききて遂にそれに聽したがひてこれを釋ちしが
11 But afterwarde they repented and caused the seruants and the handmayds, whom they had let go free, to returne, and helde them in subiection as seruants and handmayds.
後に心をひるがへしてその釋ちし僕婢をひきかへりて再び之を伏從はしめて僕婢となせり
12 Therefore the worde of the Lord came vnto Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,
是故にヱホバの言ヱホバよりヱレミヤにのぞみて云
13 Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I made a couenant with your fathers, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of seruants, saying,
イスラエルの神ヱホバかくいふ我汝らの先祖をエジプトの地その奴隸たりし宅より導きいだせし時彼らと契約を立ていひけらく
14 At the terme of seuen yeres let ye go, euery man his brother an Ebrewe which hath bene solde vnto thee: and when he hath serued the sixe yeres, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers obeyed me not, neither inclined their eares.
汝らの兄弟なるヘブル人の身を汝らに賣たる者をば七年の終に汝らおのおのこれを釋つべし彼六年汝につかへたらば之を釋つべしと然るに汝らの先祖等は我に聽ず亦その耳を傾けざりし
15 And ye were nowe turned, and had done right in my sight in proclayming libertie, euery man to his neighbour, and ye had made a couenant before mee in the house, whereupon my Name is called.
然ど汝らは今日心をあらためておのおの其鄰人に釋放の事を示してわが目に正とみゆる事を行ひ且我名をもて稱へらるる室に於て我前に契約を立たり
16 But ye repented, and polluted my Name: for ye haue caused euery man his seruant, and euery man his handmayde, whom ye had set at libertie at their pleasure, to returne, and holde them in subiection to bee vnto you as seruantes and as handmaydes.
然るに汝ら再び心をひるがへして我名を汚し各自釋ちて其心に任せしめたる僕婢をひき歸り再び之を伏從はしめて汝らの僕婢となせり
17 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Ye haue not obeyed mee, in proclayming freedome euery man to his brother, and euery man to his neighbour: beholde, I proclaime a libertie for you, saith the Lord, to the sworde, to the pestilence, and to the famine, and I will make you a terrour to all the kingdomes of the earth.
この故にヱホバかくいひたまふ汝ら我に聽ておのおの其兄弟とその鄰に釋放の事を示さざりしによりて視よわれ汝らの爲に釋放を示して汝らを劍と饑饉と疫病にわたさん我汝らをして地の諸の國にて艱難をうけしむべし
18 And I will giue those men that haue broken my couenant, and haue not kept the wordes of the couenant, which they had made before me, when they cut the calfe in twaine, and passed betweene the partes thereof:
ヱホバこれを云ふ犢を兩にさきて其二個の間を過り我前に契約をたてて却つて其言に從はずわが契約をやぶる人々
19 The princes of Iudah, and the princes of Ierusalem, the Eunuches, and the Priestes, and all the people of the lande, which passed betweene the partes of the calfe,
即ち兩に分ちし犢の間を過りしユダの牧伯等ヱルサレムの牧伯等と寺人と祭司とこの地のすべての民を
20 I wil euen giue them into the hand of their enemies, and into the handes of them that seeke their life: and their dead bodies shalbe for meate vnto the foules of the heauen, and to the beastes of the earth.
われ其敵の手とその生命を索る者の手に付さんその屍體は天空の鳥と野の獸の食物となるべし
21 And Zedekiah King of Iudah, and his princes will I giue into the hand of their enemies, and into the hande of them that seeke their life, and into the hande of the King of Babels hoste, which are gone vp from you.
且われユダの王ゼデキヤとその牧伯等をその敵の手其生命を索むる者の手汝らを離れて去しバビロン王の軍勢の手に付さん
22 Beholde, I will commande, saith the Lord, and cause them to returne to this citie, and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burne it with fire: and I will make the cities of Iudah desolate without an inhabitant.
ヱホバいひたまふ視よ我彼らに命じて此邑に歸らしめん彼らこの邑を攻て戰ひ之を取り火をもて焚くべしわれユダの諸邑を住人なき荒地となさん
