< Jeremias 37 >

1 THE WORD THAT CAME TO JEREMIAS FROM THE LORD, SAYING,
ヨシヤの子ゼデキヤ、ヱホヤキムの子コニヤに代りて王となるバビロンの王ネブカデネザル彼をユダの地に王となせしなり
2 Thus speaks the Lord God of Israel, saying, Write all the words which I have spoken to you in a book.
彼もその臣僕等もその地の人々もヱホバが預言者ヱレミヤによりて示したまひし言を聽ざりき
3 For, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel and Juda, said the Lord: and I will bring them back to the land which I gave to their fathers, and they shall be lords of it.
ゼデキヤ王シレミヤの子ユカルとマアセヤの子祭司ゼパニヤを預言者ヱレミヤに遣して請ふ汝我らの爲に我らの神ヱホバに祈れといはしむ
4 AND THESE ARE THE WORDS WHICH THE LORD SPOKE CONCERNING ISRAEL AND JUDA;
ヱレミヤは民の中に出入せりそはいまだ獄に入られざればなり
5 Thus said the Lord: You shall hear a sound of fear, [there is] fear, and there is not peace.
パロの軍勢のエジプトより來りしかばヱルサレムを攻圍みたるカルデヤ人は其音信をききてヱルサレムを退けり
6 Enquire, and see if a male has born a child? and [ask] concerning the fear, wherein they shall hold their loins, and [look for] safety: for I have seen every man, and his hands are on his loins; [their] faces are turned to paleness.
時にヱホバの言預言者ヱレミヤにのぞみていふ
7 For that day is great, and there is not such [another]; and it is a time of straitness to Jacob; but he shall be saved out of it.
イスラエルの神ヱホバかくいふ汝らを遣して我に求めしユダの王にかくいへ汝らを救はんとて出きたりしパロの軍勢はおのれの地エジプトへ歸らん
8 In that day, said the Lord, I will break the yoke off their neck, and will burst their bonds, and they shall no longer serve strangers:
カルデヤ人再び來りてこの邑を攻て戰ひこれを取り火をもて焚べし
9 but they shall serve the Lord their God; and I will raise up to them David their king.
ヱホバかくいふ汝らカルデヤ人は必ず我らをはなれて去んといひて自ら欺く勿れ彼らは去ざるべし
設令汝らおのれを攻て戰ふところのカルデヤ人の軍勢を悉く撃ちやぶりてその中に負傷人のみを遺すとも彼らはおのおの其幕屋に起ちあがり火をもて此邑を焚かん
茲にカルデヤ人の軍勢パロの軍勢を懼れてヱルサレムを退きければ
12 Thus says the Lord; I have brought on [you] destruction; your stroke is painful.
ヱレミヤ、ベニヤミンの地にて民の中にその分を分ち取らんとてヱルサレムを出でてかの地に行きしが
13 There is none to judge your cause: you have been painfully treated for healing, there is no help for you.
ベニヤミンの門にいりし時そこにハナニヤの子シレミヤの子なるイリヤと名くる門守をり預言者ヱレミヤを執へて汝はカルデヤ人に降るなりといふ
14 All your friends have forgotten you; they shall not ask [about you] at all, for I have struck you with he stroke of an enemy, [even] severe correction: your sins have abounded above all your iniquity.
ヱレミヤいひけるは詐なり我はカルデヤ人に降るにあらずと然どイリヤこれを聽ずヱレミヤを執へて侯伯等の許に引ゆけり
15 Your sins have abounded beyond the multitude of your iniquities, [therefore] they have done these things to you. Therefore all that devour you shall be eaten, and all your enemies shall eat all their [own] flesh.
侯伯等すなはち怒りてヱレミヤを撻ちこれを書記ヨナタンの室の獄にいれたり蓋この室を獄となしたればなり
16 And they that spoil you shall become a spoil, and I will give up to be plundered all that have plundered you.
ヱレミヤ獄にいり土牢に入りてそこに多の日を送りしのち
17 For I will bring about your healing, I will heal you of your grievous wound, says the Lord; for you are called Dispersed: she is your prey, for no one seeks after her.
ゼデキヤ王人を遣して彼をひきいださしむ而して王室にて竊にかれにいひけるはヱホバより臨める言あるやとヱレミヤ答へていひけるは有り汝はバビロン王の手に付されん
18 Thus said the Lord; Behold, I will turn the captivity of Jacob, and will have pity upon his prisoners; and the city shall be built upon her hill, and the people shall settle after their manner.
ヱレミヤまたゼデキヤ王にいひけるは我汝あるいは汝の臣僕或はこの民に何なる罪を犯したれば汝ら我を獄にいれしや
19 And there shall go forth from them singers, [even] the sound of men making merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not at all be diminished.
汝らに預言してバビロンの王は汝らにも此地にも攻來らじといひし汝らの預言者はいま何處にあるや
20 And their sons shall go in as before, and their testimonies shall be established before me, and I will visit them that afflict them.
されば王わが君よ願くはいま我に聽たまへ請ふわが願望を受納れ給へ我を書記ヨナタンの家に歸らしめたまふなかれ恐らくは我彼處に死なんと
21 And their mighty ones shall be over them, and their prince shall proceed of themselves; and I will gather them, and they shall return to me: for who is this that has set his heart to return to me? says the Lord.
是においてゼデキヤ王命じてヱレミヤを獄の庭にいれしめ且邑のパンの悉く盡るまでパンを製る者の街より日々に一片のパンを彼に與へしむ即ちヱレミヤは獄の庭にをる
23 For the wrathful anger of the lord has gone forth, [even] a whirlwind of anger has gone forth: it shall come upon the ungodly.
24 The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until he shall execute [it], and until he shall establish the purpose of his heart: in the latter days you shall know these things.
