Jeremiah 14
1 The word of YHWH that came to Jeremiah concerning the dearth.
乾旱の事につきてヱレミヤにのぞみしヱホバの言は左のごとし
2 Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
ユダは悲むその門は傾き地にたふれて哭くヱルサレムの咷は上る
3 And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits, and found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads.
その侯伯等は僕をつかはして水を汲しむ彼ら井にいたれども水を見ず空き器をもちて歸り恥かつ憂へてその首をおほふ
4 Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.
地に雨ふらずして土燥裂たるにより農夫は恥て首を掩ふ
5 Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass.
また野にある麀は子をうみて之を棄つ草なければなり
6 And the wild asses did stand in the high places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, because there was no grass.
野の驢馬は童山のうへにたちて山犬のごとく喘ぎ草なきによりて目眩む
7 O YHWH, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name's sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee.
ヱホバよ我儕の罪われらを訟へて證をなすとも願くは汝の名の爲に事をなし給へ我儕の違背はおほいなり我儕汝に罪を犯したり
8 O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night?
イスラエルの企望なる者その艱るときに救ひたまふ者よ汝いかなれば此地に於て他邦人のごとくし一夜寄宿の旅客のごとくしたまふや
9 Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O YHWH, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.
汝いかなれば呆てをる人のごとくし救をなすこと能はざる勇士のごとくしたまふやヱホバよ汝は我らの間にいます我儕は汝の名をもて稱へらるる者なり我らを棄たまふ勿れ
10 Thus saith YHWH unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore YHWH doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.
ヱホバこの民にかくいひたまへり彼らかく好んでさまよひ其足を禁めざればヱホバ彼らを悦ばずいまその愆をおぼえ其罪を罰すべし
11 Then said YHWH unto me, Pray not for this people for their good.
ヱホバまた我にいひたまひけるは汝この民のために恩をいのる勿れ
12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
彼ら斷食するとも我その呼龥をきかず燔祭と素祭を献るとも我これをうけず却てわれ劍と饑饉と疫病をもて彼らを滅すべし
13 Then said I, Ah, Master YHWH! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.
われいひけるは嗚呼主ヱホバよみよ預言者たちはこの民にむかひ汝ら劍を見ざるべし饑饉は汝らにきたらじわれ此處に鞏固なる平安を汝らにあたへんといへり
14 Then YHWH said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
ヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは預言者等は我名をもて詭を預言せりわれ之を遣さず之に命ぜずまた之にいはず彼らは虛誕の默示と卜筮と虛きことと己の心の詐を汝らに預言せり
15 Therefore thus saith YHWH concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
この故にかの吾が遣さざるに我名をもて預言して劍と饑饉はこの地にきたらじといへる預言者等につきてヱホバかくいふこの預言者等は劍と饑饉に滅さるべし
16 And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.
また彼等の預言をうけし民は饑饉と劍によりてヱルサレムの街に擲棄られんこれを葬る者なかるべし彼等とその妻および其子その女みな然りそはわれ彼らの惡をその上に斟げばなり
17 Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them; Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous blow.
汝この言を彼らに語るべしわが目は夜も晝もたえず涙を流さんそは我民の童女大なる滅と重き傷によりて亡さるればなり
18 If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine! yea, both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they know not.
われ出て畑にゆくに劍に死る者あり我邑にいるに饑饉に艱むものあり預言者も祭司もみなその地にさまよひて知ところなし
19 Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul lothed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? we looked for peace, and there is no good; and for the time of healing, and behold trouble!
汝はユダを悉くすてたまふや汝の心はシオンをきらふや汝いかなれば我儕を撃て愈しめざるか我ら平安を望めども善ことあらず又醫さるる時を望むに却て驚懼あり
20 We acknowledge, O YHWH, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee.
ヱホバよ我らはおのれの惡と先祖の愆を知るわれら汝に罪を犯したり
21 Do not abhor us, for thy name's sake, do not dishonor the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.
汝の名のために我らを棄たまふ勿れ汝の榮の位を辱めたまふ勿れ汝のわれらに立し契約をおぼえて毀りたまふなかれ
22 Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O YHWH our Elohim? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these things.
異邦の虛き物の中に雨を降せうるものあるや天みづから白雨をくだすをえんや我らの神ヱホバ汝これを爲したまふにあらずや我ら汝を望むそは汝すべて此等を悉く作りたまひたればなり
