< Jeremiah 44 >

1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which dwell in the land of Egypt, which dwell at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying,
エジプトの地に住るところのユダの人衆すなはちミグドル、タパネス、ノフ、パテロスの地に住る者の事につきてヱレミヤに臨みし言に曰く
2 Thus saith Yhwh of Armies, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein,
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいふ汝らは我ヱルサレムとユダの諸邑に降せしところの災をみたり視よこれらは今日すでに空曠となりて住む人なし
3 Because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers.
こは彼ら惡をなして我を怒らせしによる即ちかれらは己も汝らも汝らの先祖等も識ざるところの他の神にゆきて香を焚き且これに奉へたり
4 Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.
われ我僕なる預言者たちを汝らに遣し頻にこれを遣して請ふ汝らわが嫌ふところの此憎むべき事を行ふ勿れといはせけるに
5 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods.
彼ら聽かず耳を傾けず他の神に香を焚きてその惡を離れざりし
6 Wherefore my fury and mine anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day.
是によりて我震怒とわが憤恨ユダの諸邑とヱルサレムの街にそそぎて之を焚たれば其等は今日のごとく荒れかつ傾圮たり
7 Therefore now thus saith Yhwh, the God of Armies, the God of Israel; Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain;
萬軍の神イスラエルの神ヱホバいまかくいふ汝ら何なれば大なる惡をなして己の靈魂を害しユダの中より汝らの男と女と孩童と乳哺子を絕て一人も遺らざらしめんとするや
8 In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
何なれば汝ら其手の行爲をもて我を怒らせ汝らが往て住ふところのエジプトの地に於て他の神に香を焚きて己の身を滅し地の萬國の中に呪詛となり凌辱とならんとするや
9 Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
ユダの地とヱルサレムの街にて行ひし汝らの先祖等の惡ユダの王等の惡其妻等の惡および汝らの身の惡汝らの妻等の惡を汝ら忘れしや
10 They are not humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.
彼らは今日にいたるまで悔いずまた畏れず汝らと汝らの先祖等の前に立たる我律法とわが典例に循ひて行まざるなり
11 Therefore thus saith Yhwh of Armies, the God of Israel; Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah.
是故に萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいふ視よわれ面を汝らにむけて災を降しユダの人衆を悉く絕ん
12 And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt; they shall even be consumed by the sword and by the famine: they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.
又われエジプトの地にすまんとてその面をこれにむけて往しところの彼ユダの遺れる者を取らん彼らは皆滅されてエジプトの地に仆れん彼らは劍と饑饉に滅され微者も大者も劍と饑饉によりて死べし而して呪詛となり詫異となり罵詈となり凌辱とならん
13 For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:
われヱルサレムを罰せし如く劍と饑饉と疫病をもてエジプトに住る者を罰すべし
14 So that none of the remnant of Judah, which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return but such as shall escape.
是をもてエジプトの地に往て彼處に住るところのユダの遺れる者の中に一人も逃れまたは遺りてその心にしたひて歸り住はんとねがふところのユダの地に歸るもの無るべし逃るる者の外には歸る者無るべし
15 Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
是に於てその妻が香を他の神に焚しことを知れる人々および其處に立てる婦人等の大なる群衆並にエジプトの地のパテロスに住るところの民ヱレミヤに答へて云けるは
16 As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of Yhwh, we will not hearken unto thee.
汝がヱホバの名をもてわれらに述し言は我ら聽かじ
17 But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.
我らは必ず我らの口より出る言を行ひ我らが素なせし如く香を天后に焚きまた酒をその前に灌ぐべし即ちユダの諸邑とヱルサレムの街にて我らと我らの先祖等および我らの王等と我らの牧伯等の行ひし如くせん當時われらは糧に飽き福をえて災に遇ざりし
18 But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.
我ら天后に香を焚くことを止め酒をその前に灌がずなりし時より諸の物に乏しくなり劍と饑饉に滅されたり
19 And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?
我らが天后に香を焚き酒をその前に灌ぐに方りて之に象りてパンを製り酒を灌ぎしは我らの夫等の許せし事にあらずや
20 Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying,
ヱレミヤ即ち男女の諸の人衆および此言をもて答へたる諸の民にいひけるは
21 The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not Yhwh remember them, and came it not into his mind?
ユダの諸邑とヱルサレムの街にて汝らと汝らの先祖等および汝等の王等と汝らの牧伯等および其地の民の香を焚しことはヱホバ之を憶えまた心に思ひたまふにあらずや
22 So that Yhwh could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.
ヱホバは汝らの惡き爲のため汝らの憎むべき行の爲に再び忍ぶことをえせざりきこの故に汝らの地は今日のごとく荒地となり詫異となり呪詛となり住む人なき地となれり
23 Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against Yhwh, and have not obeyed the voice of Yhwh, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this day.
汝ら香を焚きヱホバに罪を犯しヱホバの聲に聽したがはずその律法と憲法と證詞に循ひて行まざりしに由て今日のごとく此災汝らにおよべり
24 Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of Yhwh, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt:
ヱレミヤまたすべての民と婦等にいひけるはエジプトの地に居るユダの子孫よヱホバの言をきけ
25 Thus saith Yhwh of Armies, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ汝らと汝らの妻等は口をもていひ手をもて成し我ら香を天后に焚き酒を灌ぎて立しところの誓を必ず成就んといふ汝ら必ず誓をたてかならず其誓を成就んとす
26 Therefore hear ye the word of Yhwh, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith Yhwh, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord Yhwh liveth.
この故にエジプトの地に住るユダの人々よヱホバの言をきけヱホバいひたまふわれ我大なる名を指て誓ふエジプトの全地にユダの人々一人もその口に主ヱホバは活くといひて再び我名を稱ふることなきにいたらん
27 Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them.
視よわれ彼らをうかがはん是福をあたふる爲にあらず禍をくださん爲なりエジプトの地に居るユダの人々は劍と饑饉に滅びて絕るにいたらん
28 Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or theirs.
然ど劍を逃るる僅少の者はエジプトの地を出てユダの地に歸らん又エジプトの地にゆきて彼處に寄寓れるユダの遺れる者はその立ところの言は我のなるか彼らのなるかを知るにいたるべし
29 And this shall be a sign unto you, saith Yhwh, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil:
ヱホバいひ給ふわがこの處にて汝らを罰する兆は是なり我かくして我汝らに禍をくださんといひし言の必ず立ことを知しめん
30 Thus saith Yhwh; Behold, I will give Pharaoh–hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life.
すなはちヱホバかくいひたまふ視よわれユダの王ゼデキヤを其生命を索むる敵なるバビロンの王ネブカデネザルの手に付せしが如くエジプトの王パロホフラを其敵の手その生命を索むる者の手に付さん
