< Lamentations 1 >

1 How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people how is she become as a widow she that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary
ああ哀しいかな古昔は人のみちみちたりし此都邑 いまは凄しき樣にて坐し 寡婦のごとくになれり 嗟もろもろの民の中にて大いなりし者 もろもろの州の中に女王たりし者 いまはかへつて貢をいるる者となりぬ
2 She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies.
彼よもすがら痛く泣きかなしみて涙面にながる その戀人の中にはこれを慰むる者ひとりだに無く その朋これに背きてその仇となれり
3 Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits.
ユダは艱難の故によりまた大いなる苦役のゆゑによりて擄はれゆき もろもろの國に住ひて安息を得ず これを追ふものみな狭隘にてこれに追しきぬ
4 The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness.
シオンの道路は節會の上り來る者なきがために哀しみ その門はことごとく荒れ その祭司は歎き その處女は憂へ シオンもまた自から苦しむ
5 Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for YHWH hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy.
その仇は首となり その敵は享ゆ その愆の多きによりてヱホバこれをなやませたまへるなり そのわかき子等は擄はれて仇の前にゆけり
6 And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.
シオンの女よりはその榮華ことごとく離れされり またその牧伯等は草を得ざる鹿のごとくに成り おのれを追ふものの前に力つかれて歩みゆけり
7 Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversaries saw her, and did mock at her Sabbaths.
ヱルサレムはその艱難と窘迫の時むかしの代にありしもろもろの樂しき物を思ひ出づ その民仇の手におちいり誰もこれを助くるものなき時 仇人これを見てその荒はてたるを笑ふ
8 Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward.
ヱルサレムははなはだしく罪ををかしたれば汚穢たる者のごとくになれり 前にこれを尊とびたる者もその裸體を見しによりて皆これをいやしむ 是もまたみづから嗟き身をそむけて退ぞけり
9 Her filthiness is in her skirts; she remembereth not her last end; therefore she came down wonderfully: she had no comforter. O YHWH, behold my affliction: for the enemy hath magnified himself.
その汚穢これが裾にあり 彼その終局をおもはざりき 此故に驚ろくまでに零落たり 一人の慰さむる者だに無し ヱホバよわが艱難をかへりみたまへ 敵は勝ほこれり
10 The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen that the heathen entered into her sanctuary, whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy congregation.
敵すでに手を伸てその財寳をことごとく奪ひたり 汝さきに異邦人等はなんぢの公會にいるべからずと命じおきたまひしに 彼らが聖所を侵しいるをシオンは見たり
11 All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for meat to relieve the soul: see, O YHWH, and consider; for I am become vile.
その民はみな哀きて食物をもとめ その生命を支へんがために財寳を出して食にかへたり ヱホバよ見そなはし我のいやしめらるるを顧りみたまへ
12 Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith YHWH hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.
すべて行路人よ なんぢら何ともおもはざるか ヱホバその烈しき震怒の日に我をなやましてわれに降したまへるこの憂苦にひとしき憂苦また世にあるべきや考がへ見よ
13 From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate and faint all the day.
ヱホバ上より火をくだしわが骨にいれて之を克服せしめ 網を張りわが足をとらへて我を後にむかしめ 我をして終日心さびしくかつ疾わづらはしめたまふ
14 The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, YHWH hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.
わが愆尤の軛は主の御手にて結ばれ諸の愆あひ纒はりてわが項にのれり 是はわが力をしておとろへしむ 主われを敵たりがたき者の手にわたしたまへり
15 YHWH hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: YHWH hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress.
主われの中なる勇士をことごとく除き 節會をもよほして我を攻め わが少き人を打ほろぼしたまへり 主酒榨をふむがごとくにユダの處女をふみたまへり
16 For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed.
これがために我なげく わが目やわが目には水ながる わがたましひを活すべき慰さむるものわれに遠ければなり わが子等は敵の勝るによりて滅びうせにき
17 Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her: YHWH hath commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them.
シオンは手をのぶれども誰もこれを慰さむる者なし ヤコブにつきてはヱホバ命をくだしてその周圍の民をこれが敵とならしめたまふ ヱルサレムは彼らの中にありて汚れたる者のごとくなりぬ
18 YHWH is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
ヱホバは正し 我その命令にそむきたるなり 一切の民よわれに聽け わが憂苦をかへりみよ わが處女もわかき男も俘囚て往り
19 I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought their meat to relieve their souls.
われわが戀人を呼たれども彼らはわれを欺むけり わが祭司およびわが長老は生命を繋がんとて食物を求むる間に都邑の中にて氣息たえたり
20 Behold, O YHWH; for I am in distress: my bowels are troubled; mine heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is as death.
ヱホバよかへりみたまへ 我はなやみてをり わが膓わきかへり わが心わが衷に顛倒す 我甚しく悖りたればなり 外には劍ありてわが子を殺し 内には死のごとき者あり
21 They have heard that I sigh: there is none to comfort me: all mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done it: thou wilt bring the day that thou hast called, and they shall be like unto me.
かれらはわが嗟歎をきけり 我をなぐさむるもの一人だに无し わが敵みなわが艱難をききおよび 汝のこれを爲たまひしを喜こべり 汝はさきに告しらせしその日を來らせたまはん 而して彼らもつひに我ごとくに成るべし
22 Let all their wickedness come before thee; and do unto them, as thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions: for my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.
ねがはくは彼等が與へし艱難をことごとくなんぢの御前にあらはし 前にわがもろもろの罪愆のために我におこなひし如く彼らにも行ひたまへ わが嗟歎は多くわが心はうれひかなしむなり
