Jeremiah 4
1 O Israel, if thou returne, returne vnto me, saith the Lord: and if thou put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remoue.
ヱホバいひたまふイスラエルよ汝もし歸らば我に歸れ汝もし憎むべき者を我前より除かば流蕩はじ
2 And thou shalt sweare, The Lord liueth in trueth, in iudgement, and in righteousnesse, and the nations shall be blessed in him, and shall glorie in him.
かつ汝は眞實と正直と公義とをもてヱホバは活くと誓はんさらば萬國の民は彼によりて福祉をうけ彼によりて誇るべし
3 For thus saith the Lord to the men of Iudah, and to Ierusalem,
ヱホバ、ユダとヱルサレムの人々にかくいひ給ふ汝等の新田を耕せ荊棘の中に種くなかれ。
4 Breake vp your fallowe ground, and sowe not among the thornes: be circumcised to the Lord, and take away the foreskinnes of your hearts, ye men of Iudah, and inhabitants of Ierusalem, lest my wrath come foorth like fire, and burne, that none can quenche it, because of the wickednesse of your inuentions.
ユダの人々とヱルサレムに住める者よ汝等みづから割禮をおこなひてヱホバに屬きおのれの心の前の皮を去れ然らざれば汝等の惡行のためわが怒火の如くに發して燃えんこれを滅すものなかるべし
5 Declare in Iudah, and shewe forth in Ierusalem, and say, Blowe the trumpet in the lande: cry, and gather together, and say, Assemble your selues, and let vs goe into strong cities.
汝等ユダに告げヱルサレムに示していへ箛を國の中に吹けとまた大聲に呼はりていへ汝等あつまれ我儕堅き邑にゆくべしと
6 Set vp the standart in Zion: prepare to flee, and stay not: for I will bring a plague from the North, and a great destruction.
シオンに指示す合圖の旗をたてよ逃よ留まる勿れそは我北より災とおほいなる敗壞をきたらすればなり
7 The lyon is come vp from his denne, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is departed, and gone forth of his place to lay thy land waste, and thy cities shalbe destroyed without an inhabitant.
獅子は其森よりいでて上り國々を滅すものは進みきたる彼汝の國を荒さんとて旣にその處よりいでたり汝の諸邑は滅されて住む者なきに至らん
8 Wherefore girde you with sackecloth: lament, and howle, for the fierce wrath of the Lord is not turned backe from vs.
この故に汝等麻の衣を身にまとひて悲み哭けそはヱホバの烈しき怒いまだ我儕を離れざればなり
9 And in that day, saith the Lord, the heart of the King shall perish, and the heart of the princes and the Priestes shall be astonished, and the Prophets shall wonder.
ヱホバいひたまひけるはその日王と牧伯等はその心をうしなひ祭司は驚き預言者は異むべし
10 Then saide I, Ah, Lord God, surely thou hast deceiued this people and Ierusalem, saying, Ye shall haue peace, and the sworde perceth vnto the heart.
我いひけるは嗚呼主ヱホバよ汝はまことに此民とヱルサレムを大にあざむきたまふすなはち汝はなんぢら安かるべしと云給ひしに劍命にまでおよべり
11 At that time shall it bee saide to this people and to Ierusalem, A dry winde in the hie places of the wildernes commeth towarde ye daughter of my people, but neither to fanne nor to clense.
その時この民とヱルサレムにいふものあらん熱き風 曠野の童山よりわが民の女にふききたると此は簸るためにあらず潔むる爲にもあらざるなり
12 A mightie winde shall come vnto me from those places, and nowe will I also giue sentence vpon them.
これよりも猶はげしき風われより來らん今我かれらに鞫を示さん
13 Beholde, he shall come vp as the cloudes, and his charets shalbe as a tempest: his horses are lighter then eagles. Woe vnto vs, for wee are destroyed.
みよ彼は雲のごとく上りきたらん其車は颶風のごとくにしてその馬は鷹よりも疾し嗚呼われらは禍なるかな我儕滅さるべし
14 O Ierusalem, wash thine heart from wickednes, that thou maiest be saued: how long shall thy wicked thoughtes remaine within thee?
ヱルサレムよ汝の心の惡をあらひ潔めよ然ばすくはれん汝の惡き念いつまで汝のうちにあるや
15 For a voyce declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.
ダンより告ぐる聲ありエフライムの山より災を知するなり
16 Make ye mention of the heathen, and publish in Ierusalem, Beholde, the skoutes come from a farre countrey, and crie out against the cities of Iudah.
汝ら國々の民に告げまたヱルサレムに知らせよ攻めかこむ者遠き國より來りユダの諸邑にむかひて其聲を揚ぐと
17 They haue compassed her about as the watchmen of the fielde, because it hath prouoked me to wrath, saith the Lord.
彼らは田圃をまもる者のごとくにこれを圍むこは我に從はざりしに由るとヱホバいひ給ふ
18 Thy wayes and thine inuentions haue procured thee these things, such is thy wickednesse: therefore it shall be bitter, therefore it shall perce vnto thine heart.
汝の途と汝の行これを汝に招けりこれは汝の惡なり誠に苦くして汝の心におよぶ
19 My bely, my bely, I am pained, euen at the very heart: mine heart is troubled within me: I cannot be still: for my soule hath heard the sounde of the trumpet, and the alarme of the battell.
嗚呼わが腸よ我腸よ痛苦心の底におよびわが心胸とどろくわれ默しがたし我靈魂よ汝箛の聲と軍の鬨をきくなり
20 Destruction vpon destruction is cryed, for the whole lande is wasted: suddenly are my tents destroyed, and my curtaines in a moment.
敗滅に敗滅のしらせありこの地は皆荒されわが幕屋は頃刻にやぶられ我幕は忽ち破られたり
21 Howe long shall I see the standert, and heare the sounde of the trumpet?
我が旗をみ箛の聲をきくは何時までぞや
22 For my people is foolish, they haue not knowen me: they are foolish children, and haue none vnderstanding: they are wise to doe euill, but to doe well they haue no knowledge.
それ我民は愚にして我を識らず拙き子等にして曉ることなし彼らは惡を行ふに智けれども善を行ふことを知ず
23 I haue looked vpon the earth, and loe, it was without forme and voide: and to the heauens, and they had no light.
われ地を見るに形なくして空くあり天を仰ぐに其處に光なし
24 I behelde the mountaines: and loe, they trembled and all the hilles shooke.
我山を見るに皆震へまた諸の丘も動けり
25 I behelde, and loe, there was no man, and all the birdes of the heauen were departed.
我見に人あることなし天空の鳥も皆飛されり
26 I behelde, and loe, the fruitfull place was a wildernesse, and all the cities thereof were broken downe at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce wrath.
我みるに肥美なる地は沙漠となり且その諸の邑はヱホバの前にその烈しき怒の前に毀たれたり
27 For thus hath the Lord saide, The whole lande shall be desolate: yet will I not make a full ende.
そはヱホバかくいひたまへりすべて此地は荒地とならんされど我ことごとくは之を滅さじ
28 Therefore shall the earth mourne, and the heauens aboue shall be darkened, because I haue pronounced it: I haue thought it, and will not repent, neither will I turne backe from it.
故に地は皆哀しみ上なる天は暗くならん我すでに之をいひ且これを定めて悔いずまた之をなす事を止ざればなり
29 The whole citie shall flee, for the noyse of the horsemen and bowemen: they shall goe into thickets, and clime vp vpon the rockes: euery citie shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
邑の人みな騎兵と射者の咄喊のために逃て叢林にいり又岩の上に升れり邑はみな棄られて其處に住む人なし
30 And when thou shalt be destroyed, what wilt thou doe? Though thou clothest thy selfe with skarlet, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of golde, though thou paintest thy face with colours, yet shalt thou trimme thy selfe in vaine: for thy louers will abhorre thee and seeke thy life.
滅されたる者よ汝何をなさんとするや設令汝くれなゐの衣をき金の飾物をもて身を粧ひ目をぬりて大くするとも汝が身を粧ふはいたづらなり汝の戀人らは汝をいやしめ汝のいのちを索るなり
31 For I haue heard a noyse as of a woman trauailing, or as one labouring of her first child, euen the voyce of the daughter Zion that sigheth and stretcheth out her handes: woe is me nowe: for my soule fainteth because of the murtherers.
われ子をうむ婦のごとき聲首子をうむ者の苦むがごとき聲を聞く是れシオンの女の聲なりかれ自ら歎き手をのべていふ嗚呼われは禍なるかな我靈魂殺す者のために疲れはてぬ
