< Jeremiah 27 >
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
ユダの王ヨシヤの子ヱホヤキムが位に即し初のころヱホバより此言ヱレミヤに臨みていふ
2 Thus said the Lord to me, Make for thyself bands and yoke-bars, and put them around thy neck,
すなはちヱホバかく我に云たまへり汝索と軛をつくりて汝の項に置き
3 And send such to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of 'Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by means of the messengers who come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah the king of Judah;
之をヱルサレムにきたりてゼデキヤ王にいたるところの使臣等の手によりてエドムの王モアブの王アンモン人の王ツロの王シドンの王に送るべし
4 And thou shalt charge them unto their masters, saying, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Thus shall ye say unto your masters,
汝彼らに命じて其主にいはしめよ萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ汝ら其主にかく告べし
5 It is I who have made the earth, the men, and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and I have given it unto the one who seemeth proper in my eyes.
われ我大なる能力と伸たる臂をもて地と地の上にをる人と獸とをつくり我心のままに地を人にあたへたり
6 And now it is I who have given all these countries into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and also the beasts of the field have I given him to serve him.
いま我この諸の地を我僕なるバビロンの王ネブカデネザルの手にあたへ又野の獸を彼にあたへてかれにつかへしむ
7 And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the time of his land is also come in its turn: when many nations and great kings shall make it serve.
かれの地の時期いたるまで萬國民は彼と其子とその孫につかへん其時いたらばおほくの國と大なる王は彼を己に事へしむべし
8 And it shall come to pass, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve him, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put its neck in the yoke of the king of Babylon, —even that nation will I punish with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, saith the Lord, until I have made an end of them by his hand.
バビロンの王ネブカデネザルに事へずバビロンの王の軛をその項に負ざる國と民は我彼の手をもて悉くこれを滅すまで劍と饑饉と疫病をもてこれを罰せんとヱホバいひたまふ
9 But do ye not hearken to your prophets, and to your diviners, and to your dreamers, and to your enchanters, and to your sorcerers, who speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon;
故に汝らの預言者なんぢらの占筮師汝らの夢みる者汝らの法術士汝らの魔法士汝らに告て汝らはバビロンの王に事ふることあらじといふとも聽なかれ
10 For falsehood do they prophesy unto you, in order to remove you far from your land; and that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish.
彼らは謊を汝らに預言して汝らをその國より遠く離れしめ且我をして汝らを逐しめ汝らを滅さしむるなり
11 But the nation that will bring its neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, —that one will I then let remain quietly in its own land, saith the Lord: and it shall till it, and dwell therein.
然どバビロンの王の軛をその項に負ふて彼に事ふる國々の人は我これをその故土に存し其處に耕し住しむべしとヱホバいひたまふ
12 And unto Zedekiah the king of Judah did I speak in accordance with all these words, saying, Bring your neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, that ye may live.
我この諸の言のごとくユダの王ゼデキヤに告ていひけるは汝らバビロンの王の軛を汝らの項に負ふて彼と其民につかへよ然ば生べし
13 Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
汝と汝の民なんぞヱホバがバビロンの王につかへざる國につきていひたまひし如く劍と饑饉と疫病に死ぬべけんや
14 And do ye not hearken unto the words of the prophets that say unto you, as followeth, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon; for a falsehood do they prophesy unto you.
故に汝らはバビロンの王に事ふることあらじと汝等に告る預言者の言を聽なかれ彼らは謊を汝らに預言するなり
15 For I have not sent them, saith the Lord, yet they prophesy in my name falsely: in order that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.
ヱホバいひたまひけるは我彼らを遣さざるに彼らは我名をもて謊を預言す是をもて我汝らを逐はなち汝らと汝らに預言する預言者等を滅すにいたらん
16 And unto the priests and unto all this people did I speak, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, Do not hearken to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the house of the Lord shall be brought again from Babylon now speedily; for a falsehood do they prophesy unto you.
我また祭司とこのすべての民に語りていひけるはヱホバかくいひたまふ視よヱホバの室の器皿いま速にバビロンより持歸さるべしと汝らに預言する預言者の言をきく勿れそは彼ら謊を汝らに預言すればなり
17 Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, that ye may live: wherefore should this city become a ruin?
汝ら彼らに聽なかれバビロンの王に事へよ然ば生べしこの邑を何ぞ荒蕪となすべけんや
18 And if they be prophets, and if the word of the Lord be with them, let them now make intercession with the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, may not be carried to Babylon.
もし彼ら預言者にしてヱホバの言かれらの衷にあらばヱホバの室とユダの王の家とヱルサレムとに餘れるところの器皿のバビロンに移されざることを萬軍のヱホバに求むべきなり
19 For thus hath said the Lord of hosts of the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that are left in this city,
萬軍のヱホバ柱と海と臺およびこの邑に餘れる器皿につきてかくいひたまふ
20 Which Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon did not take away, when he carried away into exile Jechonyah the son of Jehoyakim the king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
是はバビロンの王ネブカデネザルがユダの王ヱホヤキムの子ヱコニヤおよびユダとヱルサレムのすべての牧伯等をヱルサレムよりバビロンにとらへ移せしときに掠ざりし器皿なり
21 [Yea] for thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah and in Jerusalem,
すなはち萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神ヱホバの室とユダの王の室とヱルサレムとに餘れる器皿につきてかくいひたまふ
22 Unto Babylon shall they be carried, and there shall they remain until the day that I think of them, saith the Lord, when I will bring them up, and restore them to this place.
これらはバビロンに携へゆかれ我これを顧る日まで彼處にあらん其後我これを此處にたづさへ歸らしめんとヱホバいひたまふ
