Jeremiah 23
1 Woe unto the shepherds that destroy and scatter the flocks of my pasture! saith the Lord.
ヱホバいひ給ひけるは嗚呼わが養ふ群を滅し散す牧者は禍なるかな
2 Therefore thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel concerning the shepherds that feed my people, Ye have scattered my flocks, and driven them away, and have not taken care of them: now, behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the Lord.
故にイスラエルの神ヱホバ我民を養ふ牧者につきて斯いふ汝らはわが群を散しこれを逐はなちて顧みざりき視よわれ汝らの惡き行によりて汝等に報ゆべしとヱホバいふ
3 And I will indeed gather the remnant of my flock together out of all the countries whither I have driven them; and I will bring them back again to their folds: and they shall be fruitful and multiply.
われ我群の遺餘たる者をその逐はなちたる諸の地より集め再びこれを其牢に歸さん彼らは子を產て多くなるべし
4 And I will raise up over them shepherds who shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, and none of them shall be missing, saith the Lord.
我これを養ふ牧者をその上に立ん彼等はふたたび慄かず懼ずまた失じとヱホバいひたまふ
5 Behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will raise up unto David a righteous sprout, and he shall reign as king, and prosper, and he shall execute justice and righteousness on the earth.
ヱホバいひたまひけるは視よわがダビデに一の義き枝を起す日來らん彼王となりて世を治め榮え公道と公義を世に行ふべし
6 In his days shall Judah be helped, and Israel shall dwell in safety: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The Lord is our righteousness.
其日ユダは救をえイスラエルは安に居らん其名はヱホバ我儕の義と稱らるべし
7 Therefore, behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when they shall no more say, As the Lord liveth, who hath brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
この故にヱホバいひ給ふ視よイスラエルの民をエジプトの地より導出せしヱホバは活くと人衆復いはずして
8 But, As the Lord liveth, who hath brought up and who hath led forth the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and out of all countries whither I had driven them: and they shall dwell in their own land.
イスラエルの家の裔を北の地と其諸て逐やりし地より導出せしヱホバは活くといふ日來らん彼らは自己の地に居るべし
9 To the prophets—Broken is my heart within me; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a person whom wine hath overcome, because of the Lord, and because of his holy words.
預言者輩のために我心はわが衷に壞れわが骨は皆震ふ且ヱホバとその聖言のためにわれは醉る人のごとく酒に勝るる人のごとし
10 For of adulterers is the land full; for because of false swearing mourneth the land, dried up are the pastures in the wilderness; because their course was for evil, and their strength was for injustice.
この地は姦淫をなすもの盈ち地は呪詛によりて憂へ曠野の艸は枯る彼らの途はあしく其力は正しからず
11 For both prophet and priest are hypocrites: yea, in my own house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord.
預言者と祭司は偕に邪惡なりわれ我家に於てすら彼等の惡を見たりとヱホバいひたまふ
12 Therefore shall their way be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness; they shall be pushed forward, and fall thereon; for I will bring upon them evil, the year of their punishment, saith the Lord.
故にかれらの途は暗に在る滑なる途の如くならん彼等推れて其途に仆るべし我災をその上にのぞましめん是彼らが刑罰らるる年なりとヱホバいひたまふ
13 And on the prophets of Samaria have I seen absurdity: they prophesied by Ba'al, and misled my people Israel.
われサマリヤの預言者の中に愚昧なる事あるをみたり彼等はバアルに託りて預言し我民イスラエルを惑はせり
14 But on the prophets of Jerusalem have I seen a horrible thing; they commit adultery, and walk in falsehood; and they strengthen the hands of evil-doers, so that not one of these doth return from his wickedness: they are become unto me all of them as Sodom, and its inhabitants as Gomorrah.
我ヱルサレムの預言者の中にも憎むべき事あるを見たり彼等は姦淫をなし詐僞をおこなひ惡人の手を堅くして人をその惡に離れざらしむ彼等みな我にはソドムのごとく其民はゴモラのごとし
15 Therefore thus hath said the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets, Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink poison-water; for from the prophets of Jerusalem is hypocrisy gone forth over all the land.
この故に萬軍のヱホバ預言者につきてかくいひたまふ視よわれ茵蔯を之に食はせ毒水をこれに飮せんそは邪惡ヱルサレムの預言者よりいでて此全地に及べばなり
16 Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you, they bring you unto vanity: a vision of their own heart do they ever speak, not out of the mouth of the Lord.
萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふ汝等に預言する預言者の言を聽く勿れ彼等は汝らを欺きヱホバの口よりいでざるおのが心の默示を語るなり
17 They say indeed unto those that incense me, The Lord hath spoken, Peace shall ye have; and unto every one that walketh in the stubbornness of his own heart, they said, There shall come no evil upon you.
常に彼らは我を藐忽ずる者にむかひて汝等平安をえんとヱホバいひたまへりといひ又己が心の剛愎なるに循ひて行むところのすべての者に向ひて災汝らに來らじといへり
18 For who hath stood in the secret counsel of the Lord, that he could perceive and hear his word? who hath listened to his word and heard it?
誰かヱホバの議會に立て其言を見聞せし者あらんや誰か其耳を傾けて我言を聽し者あらんや
19 Behold, the storm-wind of the Lord is gone forth in fury, yea, a whirling storm: upon the head of the wicked shall it fall grievously.
みよヱホバの暴風あり怒と旋轉風いでて惡人の首をうたん
20 The anger of the Lord will not return, until he have executed, and until he have fulfilled the purposes of his heart: in the end of days shall ye understand this fully.
ヱホバの怒はかれがその心の思を行ひてこれを遂げ給ふまでは息じ末の日に汝ら明にこれを曉らん
21 I had not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I had not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
預言者等はわが遣さざるに趨り我告ざるに預言せり
22 But if they had stood in my secret counsel, they should have announced my words to my people, and have caused them to turn back from their evil way, and from the wrongfulness of their doings.
彼らもし我議會に立ちしならば我民にわが言をきかしめて之をその惡き途とその惡き行に離れしめしならん
23 Am I a God for those near at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God for those who are afar off?
ヱホバいひ給ふ我はただ近くにおいてのみ神たらんや遠くに於ても神たるにあらずや
24 If a man should hide himself in secret places should I not then see him? saith the Lord. Do I not fill the heavens and the earth? saith the Lord.
ヱホバいひたまふ人我に見られざる樣に密かなる處に身を匿し得るかヱホバいひたまふ我は天地に充るにあらずや
25 I have heard what the prophets have said, that prophesy falsely in my name, saying, I have dreamt, I have dreamt.
われ我名をもて謊を預言する預言者等がわれ夢を見たりわれ夢を見たりと曰ふをきけり
26 How long shall it be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy falsehood? yea, the prophets of the deceit of their own heart, —
謊を預言する預言者等はいつまで此心をいだくや彼らは其心の詐僞を預言するなり
27 [How long] do they think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they relate every man to his neighbor, as their fathers forgot my name for the sake of Ba'al?
彼らは其先祖がバアルによりて我名を忘れしごとく互に夢をかたりて我民にわが名を忘れしめんと思ふや
28 The prophet that hath had a dream, let him relate his dream; and he that hath received my word, let him speak my word of truth. What hath the straw to do with the corn? saith the Lord.
夢をみし預言者は夢を語るべし我言を受し者は誠實をもて我言を語るべし糠いかで麥に比擬ことをえんやとヱホバいひたまふ
29 Is not thus my word, like the fire? saith the Lord, and like a hammer that shivereth the rock?
ヱホバ言たまはく我言は火のごとくならずや又磐を打碎く槌の如くならずや
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my words every one from his neighbor.
故に視よわれ我言を相互に竊める預言者の敵となるとヱホバいひたまふ
31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that use their own word, and say, [The Lord] saith.
視よわれは彼いひたまへりと舌をもて語るところの預言者の敵となるとヱホバいひたまふ
32 Behold, I am against those that prophesy with false dreams, saith the Lord, and do relate them, and mislead my people by their falsehoods, and by their vain boasting: while I have not sent them, nor commanded them; and they cannot bring the least profit to this people, saith the Lord.
ヱホバいひたまひけるは視よわれ僞の夢を預言する者の敵となる彼らは之を語りまたその謊と其誇をもて我民を惑はす我かれらを遣さずかれらに命ぜざるなり故に彼らは斯民に益なしとヱホバいひ給ふ
33 And if this people, or the prophet, or a priest, should ask thee, saying, What is the message of the Lord? then shalt thou say unto them, Because of this “What is the message?” will I even cast you off, saith the Lord.
この民或は預言者又は祭司汝に問てヱホバの重負は何ぞやといはば汝彼等にこたへてヱホバの重負は我汝等を棄んとヱホバの云たまひし事是なりといふべし
34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that will say, “A message of the Lord,” I will even inflict punishment on that man and on his house.
ヱホバの重負といふところの預言者と祭司と民には我その人と其家にこれを降さん
35 Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbor, and every one to his brother, What hath the Lord answered? and, What hath the Lord spoken?
汝らはおのおの斯互に言ひその兄弟にいふべしヱホバは何と應へたまひしやヱホバは何と云たまひしやと
36 But “A message of the Lord” shall ye not mention any more; for the message cometh indeed to the man of his [prophetic] word; but ye pervert the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God.
汝ら復びヱホバの重負といふべからず人の重負となる者は其人の言なるべし汝らは活る神萬軍のヱホバなる我らの神の言を枉るなり
37 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the Lord answered thee? and, What hath the Lord spoken?
汝かく預言者にいふべしヱホバは汝に何と答へ給ひしやヱホバは何といひたまひしやと
38 But if ye will say, “A message of the Lord,” then thus saith the Lord, Because ye say this word, “A message of the Lord,” and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, “A message of the Lord:”
汝らもしヱホバの重負といはばヱホバそれにつきてかくいひたまふ我人を汝らに遣して汝等ヱホバの重負といふべからずといはしむるも汝らはヱホバの重負といふ此言をいふによりて
39 Therefore, behold, I am here, and I will tear you completely away, and I will cast you off, and the city that I have given to you and to your fathers, out of my presence;
われ必ず汝らを忘れ汝らと汝らの先祖にあたへし此邑と汝らとを我前より棄ん
40 And I will lay upon you an everlasting disgrace, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
且われ永遠の辱と永遠なる忘らるることなき恥を汝らにかうむらしめん
