Jeremiah 1
1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Chilkiyahu, one of the priests that were in 'Anathoth in the land of Benjamin;
こはベニヤミンの地アナトテの祭司の一人なるヒルキヤの子ヱレミヤの言なり
2 To whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon the king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign,
アモンの子ユダの王ヨシヤの時すなはちその治世の十三年にヱホバの言ヱレミヤに臨めり
3 And who continued [prophet] in the days of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah the king of Judah, until the carrying away into exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
その言またヨシヤの子ユダの王ヱホヤキムの時にものぞみてヨシヤの子ユダの王ゼデキヤの十一年のをはり即ちその年の五月ヱルサレムの民の移されたる時までにいたれり
4 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
ヱホバの言我にのぞみて云ふ
5 Before yet I had formed thee in thy mother's body I knew thee; and before thou wast yet come forth out of the womb I sanctified thee: a prophet unto the nations did I ordain thee.
われ汝を腹につくらざりし先に汝をしり汝が胎をいでざりし先に汝を聖め汝をたてて萬國の預言者となせりと
6 And I said, Ah, Lord Eternal! behold, I know not how to speak; for I am [but] a lad.
我こたへけるは噫主ヱホバよ視よわれは幼少により語ることを知らず
7 And the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am [but] a lad; but to whomsoever I may send thee shalt thou go, and whatsoever I may command thee shalt thou speak.
ヱホバわれにいひたまひけるは汝われは幼少といふ勿れすべて我汝を遣すところにゆき我汝に命ずるすべてのことを語るべし
8 Be not afraid because of them; for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
なんぢ彼等の面を畏るる勿れ蓋われ汝と偕にありて汝をすくふべければなりとヱホバいひたまへり
9 And the Lord stretched forth his hand, and touched [me] therewith on my mouth; and the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
ヱホバ遂にその手をのべて我口につけヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは視よわれ我言を汝の口にいれたり
10 See, I have appointed thee this day over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down: to build up, and to plant.
みよ我けふ汝を萬民のうへと萬國のうへにたて汝をして或は抜き或は毀ち或は滅し或は覆し或は建て或は植しめん
11 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, A staff of all almond-tree do I see.
ヱホバの言また我に臨みていふヱレミヤよ汝何をみるや我こたへけるは巴旦杏の枝をみる
12 And the Lord said unto me, Thou hast well seen; for I am watching over my word to perform it.
ヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは汝善く見たりそはわれ速に我言をなさんとすればなり
13 And the word of the Lord came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, A seething pot do I see; and the front thereof is turned from the north.
ヱホバの言ふたたび我に臨みていふ汝何をみるや我こたへけるは沸騰たる鑊をみるその面は北より此方に向ふ
14 And the Lord said unto me, Out of the north shall the evil break forth over all the inhabitants of the land,
ヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは災北よりおこりてこの地に住るすべての者にきたらん
15 For, lo, I will call unto all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the Lord; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and upon all its walls round about, and upon [those of] all the cities of Judah.
ヱホバいひたまひけるはわれ北の國々のすべての族をよばん彼等きたりてヱルサレムの門の入口とその周圍のすべての石垣およびユダのすべての邑々に向ひておのおのその座を設けん
16 And I will call them to account touching all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burnt incense unto other gods, and have bowed down unto the works of their own hands.
われかれらの凡の惡事のために我鞫をかれにつげん是はかれら我をすてて別の神に香を焚きおのれの手にて作りし物を拝するによる
17 But do thou gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I may command thee; be not discouraged because of them, lest I humble thee before them.
汝腰に帶して起ちわが汝に命ずるすべての事を彼等につげよその面を畏るる勿れ否らざれば我かれらの前に汝を辱かしめん
18 But I, behold, I have made of thee this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls over the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.
視よわれ今日この全國とユダの王とその牧伯とその祭司とその地の民の前に汝を堅き城 鐵の柱 銅の牆となせり
19 And [although] they fight against thee, they shall not prevail against thee; for with thee am I saith the Lord, to deliver thee.
彼等なんぢと戰はんとするも汝に勝ざるべしそはわれ汝とともにありて汝をすくふべければなりとヱホバいひたまへり
