Jeremiah 10
1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel;
イスラエルの家よヱホバの汝らに語たまふ言をきけ
2 thus saith the LORD: Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the nations are dismayed at them.
ヱホバかくいひたまふ汝ら異邦人の途に效ふ勿れ異邦人は天にあらはるる徴を懼るるとも汝らはこれを懼るる勿れ
3 For the customs of the peoples are vanity; for it is but a tree which one cutteth out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman with the axe.
異國人の風俗はむなしその崇むる者は林より斫たる木にして木匠の手に斧をもて作りし者なり
4 They deck it with silver and with gold, they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
彼らは銀と金をもてこれを飾り釘と鎚をもて之を堅めて搖動かざらしむ
5 They are like a pillar in a garden of cucumbers, and speak not; they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.
こは圓き柱のごとくにして言はずまた歩むこと能はざるによりて人にたづさへらる是は災害をくだし亦は福祉をくだすの權なきによりて汝らこれを畏るる勿れ
6 There is none like unto Thee, O LORD; Thou art great, and Thy name is great in might.
ヱホバよ汝に比ふべき者なし汝は大なり汝の名は其權威のために大なり
7 Who would not fear Thee, O king of the nations? For it befitteth Thee; forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royalty, there is none like unto Thee.
汝萬國の王たる者よ誰か汝を畏れざるべきや汝を畏るるは當然なりそは萬國のすべての博士たちのうちにもその諸國のうちにも汝に比ふべき者なければなり
8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the vanities by which they are instructed are but a stock;
彼らはみな獸のことくまた痴愚なり虛しき者の敎は惟木のみ
9 Silver beaten into plates which is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the craftsman and of the hands of the goldsmith; blue and purple is their clothing; they are all the work of skilful men.
タルシシより携へ來し銀箔ウパズより携へ來し金は鍛冶と鑄匠の作りし物なり靑と紫をその衣となす是はすべて巧みなる細工人の工作なり
10 But the LORD God is the true God, He is the living God, and the everlasting King; at His wrath the earth trembleth, and the nations are not able to abide His indignation.
ヱホバは眞の神なり彼は活る神なり永遠の王なり其怒によりて地は震ふ萬國はその憤怒にあたること能はず
11 Thus shall ye say unto them: 'The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, these shall perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.'
汝等かく彼らにいふべし天地を造らざりし諸神は地の上よりこの天の下より失さらんと
12 He that hath made the earth by His power, that hath established the world by His wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by His understanding;
ヱホバはその能をもて地をつくり其智慧をもて世界を建てその明哲をもて天を舒べたまへり
13 At the sound of His giving a multitude of waters in the heavens, when He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; when He maketh lightnings with the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of His treasuries;
かれ聲をいだせば天に衆の水ありかれ雲を地の極よりいだし電と雨をおこし風をその府庫よりいだす
14 Every man is proved to be brutish, without knowledge, every goldsmith is put to shame by the graven image, his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
すべての人は獸の如くにして智なしすべての鑄匠はその作りし像のために辱をとる其鑄るところの像は僞物にしてその中に靈魂なければなり
15 They are vanity, a work of delusion; in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
是らは虛き者にして迷妄の工作なりその罰せらるるときに滅ぶべし
16 Not like these is the portion of Jacob; for He is the former of all things, and Israel is the tribe of His inheritance; the LORD of hosts is His name.
ヤコブの分は是のごとくならず彼は萬物の造化主なりイスラエルはその產業の杖なりその名は萬軍のヱホバといふなり
17 Gather up thy wares from the ground, O thou that abidest in the siege.
圍の中に坐する者よ汝の包を地より取りあげよ
18 For thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time, and will distress them, that they may feel it.
ヱホバかくいひたまふみよ我この地にすめる者を此度擲たん且かれらをせめなやまして擄へられしむべし
19 Woe is me for my hurt! My wound is grievous; but I said: 'This is but a sickness, and I must bear it.'
われ毀傷をうく嗚呼われは禍なるかな我傷は重し我いふこれまことにわが患難なりわれ之を忍べし
20 My tent is spoiled, and all my cords are broken; my children are gone forth of me, and they are not; there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
わが幕屋はやぶれわが繩索は悉く斷れ我衆子は我をすてゆきて居ずなりぬ幕屋を張る者なくわが幃をかくる者なし
21 For the shepherds are become brutish, and have not inquired of the LORD; therefore they have not prospered, and all their flocks are scattered.
牧者は愚にしてヱホバを求めず故に利達ずその群はみな散れり
22 Hark! a report, behold, it cometh, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, a dwelling-place of jackals.
きけよ風聲あり北の國より大なる騒きたる是ユダの諸邑を荒して山犬の巢となさん
23 O LORD, I know that man's way is not his own; it is not in man to direct his steps as he walketh.
ヱホバよわれ知る人の途は自己によらず且歩行む人は自らその歩履を定むること能はざるなり
24 O LORD, correct me, but in measure; not in Thine anger, lest Thou diminish me.
ヱホバよ我を懲したまへ但道にしたがひ怒らずして懲したまへおそらくは我無に歸せん
25 Pour out Thy wrath upon the nations that know Thee not, and upon the families that call not on Thy name; for they have devoured Jacob, yea, they have devoured him and consumed him, and have laid waste his habitation.
汝を知ざる國人と汝の名を龥ざる族に汝の怒を斟ぎたまへ彼らはヤコブを噬ひ之をくらふて滅しその牧場を荒したればなり
