Jeremias 9
1 Who will give water to my head, and a fountain of tears to my eyes? then would I weep for this my people day and night, [even] for the slain of the daughter of my people.
ああ我わが首を水となし我目を涙の泉となすことをえんものを我民の女の殺されたる者の爲に晝夜哭かん
2 Who would give me a most distant lodge in the wilderness, that I might leave my people, and depart from them? for they all commit adultery, an assembly of treacherous men.
嗚呼われ曠野に旅人の寓所をえんものを我民を離れてさりゆかん彼らはみな姦淫するもの悖れる者の族なればなり
3 And they have bent their tongue like a bow: falsehood and not faithfulness has prevailed upon the earth; for they have gone on from evil to evil, and have not known me, says the Lord.
彼らは弓を援くがごとく其舌をもて僞をいだす彼らは此地において眞實のために強からず惡より惡にすすみまた我を知ざるなりとヱホバいひたまふ
4 Beware you each of his neighbor, and trust you not in your brethren: for every one will surely supplant, and every friend will walk craftily.
汝らおのおの其隣に心せよ何の兄弟をも信ずる勿れ兄弟はみな欺きをなし隣はみな讒りまはればなり
5 Every one will mock his friend; they will not speak truth: their tongue has learned to speak falsehoods; they have committed iniquity, they ceased not, so as to return.
彼らはおのおの其隣を欺きかつ眞實をいはず其舌に謊をかたることを敎へ惡をなすに勞る
6 [There is] usury upon usury, and deceit upon deceit: they would not know me, says the Lord.
汝の住居は詭譎の中にあり彼らは詭譎のために我を識ことをいなめりとヱホバいひたまふ
7 Therefore thus says the Lord, Behold, I will try them with fire, and prove them; for I will do [thus] because of the wickedness of the daughter of my people.
故に萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまへり視よ我かれらを鎔し試むべしわれ我民の女の事を如何になすべきや
8 Their tongue is a wounding arrow; the words of their mouth are deceitful: [one] speaks peaceably to his neighbor, but in himself retains enmity.
彼らの舌は殺す矢のごとしかれら詭をいふまた其口をもて隣におだやかにかたれども其心の中には害をはかるなり
9 Shall I not visit for these things? says the Lord: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a people as this?
ヱホバいひたまふ我これらの事のために彼らを罰せざらんや我心はかくのごとき民に仇を復さざらんや
10 Take up a lamentation for the mountains, and a mournful dirge for the paths of the wilderness, for they are desolate for lack of men; they heard not the sound of life from the birds of the sky, nor the cattle: they were amazed, they are gone.
われ山のために泣き咷び野の牧場のために悲むこれらは焚れて過る人なしまたここに牛羊の聲をきかず天空の鳥も獸も皆逃てさりぬ
11 And I will remove the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and make it a dwelling-place of dragons; and I will utterly waste the cities of Juda, so that they shall not be inhabited.
われヱルサレムを邱墟とし山犬の巢となさんまたユダの諸の邑々を荒して住む人なからしめん
12 Who is the wise man, that he may understand this? and he that has the word of the mouth of the Lord [addressed] to him, let him tell you therefore the land has been destroyed, has been ravaged by fire like a desert, so that no one passes through it.
智慧ありてこの事を曉る人は誰ぞやヱホバの口の言を受てこれを示さん者は誰ぞやこの地滅されまた野のごとく焚れて過る者なきにいたりしは何故ぞ
13 And the Lord said to me, Because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them, and have not listened to my voice;
ヱホバいひたまふ是彼ら我その前に立しところの律法をすて我聲をきかず之に從はざるによりてなり
14 but went after the lusts of their evil heart, and after the idols which their fathers taught them [to worship]:
彼らはその心の剛愎なるとその列祖たちがおのれに敎へしバアルとに從へり
15 therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I will feed them with trouble and will cause them to drink water of gall:
この故に萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ視よわれ彼等すなはち斯民に茵蔯を食はせ毒なる水を飮せ
16 and I will scatter them among the nations, to them whom neither they nor their fathers knew; and I will send a sword upon them, until I have consumed them with it.
彼らもその先祖たちもしらざりし國人のうちに彼らを散しまた彼らを滅し盡すまで其後に劍をつかはさん
17 Thus says the Lord, Call you the mourning women, and let them come; and send to the wise women, and let them utter their voice;
萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふ汝らよく考へ哭婦をよびきたれ又人を遣して智き婦をまねけよ
18 and let them take up a lamentation for you, and let your eyes pour down tears, and your eyelids drop water.
彼らは速にきたりて我儕のために哭哀しみ我儕の目に涙をこぼさせ我儕の目蓋より水を溢れしめん
19 For a voice of lamentation has been heard in Sion, How are we become wretched! we are greatly ashamed, for we have forsaken the land, and have abandoned our tabernacles!
シオンより哀の聲きこゆ云く嗚呼われら滅され我ら痛く辱めらる我らは其地を去り彼らはわが住家を毀ちたり
20 Hear now, you women, the word of God, and let your ears receive the words of his mouth, and teach your daughters lamentation, and [every] woman her neighbor a dirge.
婦たちよヱホバの言をきけ汝らの耳に其口の言をいれよ汝らの女に哭ことを敎へおのおのその隣に哀の歌を敎ふべし
21 For death has come up through your windows, it has entered into our land, to destroy the infants without, and the young men from the streets.
そは死のぼりてわれらの窓よりいり我らの殿舍に入り外にある諸子を絕し街にある壯年を殺さんとすればなり
22 And the carcases of the men shall be for an example on the face of the field of your land, like grass after the mower, and there shall be none to gather [them].
ヱホバかくいへりと汝云ふべし人の屍は糞土のごとく田野に墮ちんまた收穫者のうしろに殘りて斂めずにある把のごとくならんと
23 Thus says the Lord, Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, and let not the strong man boast in his strength, and let not the rich man boast in his wealth;
ヱホバかくいひたまふ智慧ある者はその智慧に誇る勿れ力ある者は其力に誇るなかれ富者はその富に誇ること勿れ
24 but let him that boasts boast in this, the understanding and knowing that I am the Lord that exercise mercy, and judgment, and righteousness, upon the earth; for in these things is my pleasure, says the Lord.
誇る者はこれをもて誇るべし即ち明哲して我を識る事とわがヱホバにして地に仁惠と公道と公義とを行ふ者なるを知る事是なり我これらを悦ぶなりとヱホバいひたまふ
25 Behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will visit upon all the circumcised their uncircumcision;
ヱホバいひたまひけるは視よわれすべて陽の皮に割禮をうけたる者すなはちエジプトとユダとエドムとアンモンの子孫とモアブと野にをりてその鬚を剃る者とを罰する日きたらんそはすべて異邦人は割禮をうけずまたイスラエルの家も心に割禮をうけざればなり
26 on Egypt, and on Idumea, and on Edom, and on the children of Ammon, and on the children of Moab, and on every one that shaves his face round about, [even] them that dwell in the wilderness; for all the Gentiles are uncircumcised in flesh, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised [in] their hearts.
ヱホバいひたまひけるは視よわれすべて陽の皮に割禮をうけたる者すなはちエジプトとユダとエドムとアンモンの子孫とモアブと野にをりてその鬚を剃る者とを罰する日きたらんそはすべて異邦人は割禮をうけずまたイスラエルの家も心に割禮をうけざればなり
