Jeremias 7
ヱホバよりヱレミヤにのぞめる言云ふ
2 Hear you the word of the Lord, all Judea.
汝ヱホバの室の門にたち其處にてこの言を宣て言へヱホバを拜まんとてこの門にいりしユダのすべての人よヱホバの言をきけ
3 Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Correct your ways and your devices, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひ給ふ汝らの途と汝らの行を改めよさらばわれ汝等をこの地に住しめん
4 Trust not in yourselves with lying words, for they shall not profit you at all, saying, It is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.
汝ら是はヱホバの殿なりヱホバの殿なりヱホバの殿なりと云ふ僞の言をたのむ勿れ
5 For if you thoroughly correct your ways and your practices, and do indeed execute judgment between a man and his neighbor;
汝らもし全くその途と行を改め人と人との間を正しく鞫き
6 and oppress not the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and go not after strange gods to your hurt:
異邦人と孤兒と寡を虐げず無辜者の血をこの處に流さず他の神に從ひて害をまねかずば
7 then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land which I gave to your fathers of old and for ever.
我なんぢらを我汝等の先祖にあたへしこの地に永遠より永遠にいたるまで住しむべし
8 But whereas you have trusted in lying words, whereby you shall not be profited;
みよ汝らは益なき僞の言を賴む
9 and you murder, and commit adultery, and steal, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and are gone after strange gods whom you know not,
汝等は盜み殺し姦淫し妄りて誓ひバアルに香を焚き汝らがしらざる他の神にしたがふなれど
10 so that it is evil with you; yet have you come, and stood before me in the house, whereon my name is called, and you have said, We have refrained from doing all these abominations.
我名をもて稱へらるるこの室にきたりて我前にたち我らはこれらの憎むべきことを行ふとも救はるるなりといふは何にぞや
11 Is my house, whereon my name is called, a den of robbers in your eyes? And, behold, I have seen [it], says the Lord.
わが名をもて稱へらるる此室は汝らの目には盜賊の巢と見ゆるや我も之をみたりとヱホバいひたまふ
12 For go you to my place with is in Selo, where I caused my name to dwell before, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.
汝等わが初シロに於て我名を置し處にゆき我がイスラエルの民の惡のために其處になせしところのことをみよ
13 And now, because you have done all these deeds, and I spoke to you, but you listened not to me; and I called you, but you answered not;
ヱホバいひたまふ今汝ら此等のすべての事をなす又われ汝らに語り頻にかたりたれども聽かず汝らを呼びたれども答へざりき
14 therefore I also will do to the house whereon my name is called, wherein you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Selo.
この故に我シロになせしごとく我名をもて稱へらるる此室になさんすなはち汝等が賴むところ我汝らと汝らの先祖にあたへし此處になすべし
15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I cast away your brethren, all the seed of Ephraim.
またわれ汝等のすべての兄弟すなはちエフライムのすべての裔を棄てしごとく我前より汝らをも棄つべし
16 Therefore pray not you for this people, and intercede not for them to be pitied, yes, pray not, and approach me not for them: for I will not listen [to you].
故に汝この民のために祈る勿れ彼らの爲に歎くなかれ求むるなかれ又我にとりなしをなす勿れわれ汝にきかじ
17 Seest you not what they do in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
汝かれらがユダの邑とヱルサレムの街になすところを見ざるか
18 Their children gather wood, and their fathers kindle a fire, and their women knead dough, to make cakes to the host of heaven; and they have poured out drink-offerings to strange gods, that they might provoke me to anger.
諸子は薪を拾め父は火を燃き婦は麺を搏ねパンをつくりて之を天后にそなふ又かれら他の神の前に酒をそそぎて我を怒らす
19 Do they provoke me to anger? says the Lord: do they not [provoke] themselves, that their faces may be ashamed?
ヱホバいひたまふ彼ら我を怒らするか是れおのが面を辱むるにあらずや
20 Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, my anger and wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and upon the men, and upon the cattle, and upon every tree of their field, and upon the fruits of the land; and it shall burn, and not be quenched.
是故に主ヱホバかくいひたまふ視よわが震怒とわが憤怒はこの處と人と獸と野の樹および地の果にそそがん且燃て滅ざるべし
21 Thus says the Lord, Gather your whole burnt offerings with your meat-offerings, and eat flesh.
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ汝らの犠牲に燔祭の物をあはせて肉をくらへ
22 For I spoke not to your fathers, and commanded them not in the day wherein I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, concerning whole burnt offerings and sacrifice:
そはわれ汝等の先祖をエジプトより導きいだせし日に燔祭と犠牲とに就てかたりしことなく又命ぜしことなし
23 but I commanded them this thing, saying, Hear you my voice, and I will be to you a God, and you shall be to me a people: and walk you in all my ways which I shall command you, that it may be well with you.
惟われこの事を彼等に命じ汝ら我聲を聽ばわれ汝らの神となり汝ら我民とならん且わが汝らに命ぜしすべての道を行みて福祉をうべしといへり
24 But they listened not to me, and their ear gave no heed, but they walked in the imaginations of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward;
されど彼らはきかず其耳を傾けずおのれの惡き心の謀と剛愎なるとにしたがひて行みまた後を我にむけて其面を向けざりき
25 from the day that their fathers went forth out of the land of Egypt, even until this day. And I sent to you all my servants, the prophets, by day and early in the morning: yes, I sent [them],
汝らの先祖がエジプトの地をいでし日より今日にいたるまでわれ我僕なる預言者を汝らにつかはし日々晨より之をつかはせり
26 but they listened not to me, and their ear gave no heed; and they made their neck harder than their fathers.
されど彼らは我にきかず耳を傾けずして其項を強くしその列祖よりも愈りて惡をなすなり
27 Therefore you shall speak this word to them;
汝彼らに此等のすべてのことばを語るとも汝にきかずかれらを呼ぶとも汝にこたへざるべし
28 This is the nation which has not listened to the voice of the Lord, nor received correction: truth has failed from their mouth.
汝かく彼らに語れこれは其神ヱホバの聲を聽ずその訓を受ざる民なり眞實はうせてその口に絕たり
29 Cut off your hair, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on your lips; for the Lord has reprobated and rejected the generation that does these things.
(シオンの女よ)汝の髮を剃りてこれを棄て山の上に哀哭の聲をあげよヱホバその怒るところの世の人をすててこれを離れたまへばなり
30 For the children of Juda have wrought evil before me, says the Lord; they have set their abominations in the house on which my name is called, to defile it.
ヱホバいひたまふユダの民は我前に惡を行へり即ちその憎むべき者を我名をもて稱へらるる室に置てこれを汚せり
31 And they have built the altar of Taphes, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, to burn their sons and their daughters with fire; which I did not command them [to do], neither did I design it in my heart.
又ベンヒンノムの谷に於てトペテの崇邱を築きてその子女を火に焚かんとせり我これを命ぜずまた斯ることを思はざりし
32 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when they shall no more say, The altar of Taphes, and the valley of the son of Ennom, but, The valley of the slain; and they shall bury in Taphes, for lack of room.
ヱホバいひたまふ然ば視よ此處をトペテまたはベンヒンノムの谷と稱へずして殺戮の谷と稱ふる日きたらん其は葬るべき地所なきまでにトペテに葬るべければなり
33 And the dead bodies of this people shall be for food to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and there shall be none to drive [them] away.
この民の屍は天空の鳥と地の獸の食物とならんこれを逐ふものなかるべし
34 And I will destroy out of the cities of Juda, and the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of them that make merry, and the voice of them that rejoice, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride; for the whole land shall become a desolation.
その時われユダの邑とヱルサレムの街に欣喜の聲 歡樂の聲 新婿の聲 新婦の聲なからしむべしこの地荒蕪ればなり
