Jeremiah 42
1 Then came near all the captains of the armies, and Jochanan the son of Kareach, and Yezanyah the son of Hosha'yah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest,
茲に軍勢の長たちおよびカレヤの子ヨハナンとホシャヤの子ヱザニヤ並に民の至微者より至大者にいたるまで
2 And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our humble supplication be accepted before thee, and pray in our behalf unto the Lord thy God, in behalf of all this remnant; [for we are left but a few of many, as thy own eyes do see us: ]
皆預言者ヱレミヤの許に來りて言けるは汝の前に我らの求の受納られんことを願ふ請ふ我ら遺れる者の爲に汝の神ヱホバに祈れ(今汝の目に見がごとく我らは衆多の中の遺れる者にして寡なり)
3 That the Lord thy God may tell us the way whereon we should walk, and the thing that we should do.
さらば汝の神ヱホバ我らの行むべき途となすべき事を示したまはん
4 Then said Jeremiah the prophet unto them, I have heard you: behold, I will pray unto the Lord your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing the Lord will answer you, I will tell unto you; I will withhold not a word from you.
預言者ヱレミヤ彼らに云けるは我汝らに聽り汝らの言に循ひて汝らの神ヱホバに祈らん凡そヱホバが汝らに應へたまふことはわれ隱す所なく汝らに告べし
5 But they said to Jeremiah, May the Lord be a true and faithful witness against us, if we do not act entirely according to all the word with which the Lord thy God may send thee to us:
彼らヱレミヤにいひけるは願くはヱホバ我儕の間にありて眞實なる信ずべき證者となりたまへ我らは汝の神ヱホバの汝を遣して我らに告しめたまふ諸の事に遵ひて行ふべし
6 Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will hearken to the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send thee; in order that it may be well with us, when we hearken to the voice of the Lord our God.
我らは善にまれ惡きにまれ我らが汝を遣すところの我らの神ヱホバの聲に遵はん斯我らの神ヱホバの聲に遵ひてわれら福をうけん
7 And it came to pass at the end of ten days, that the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah.
十日の後ヱホバの言ヱレミヤにのぞみしかば
8 Then called he Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the armies who were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
ヱレミヤ、カレヤの子ヨハナンおよび彼と偕に在る軍勢の長たち並に民の至微者より至大者までを悉く招きて
9 And he said unto them, Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your humble supplication before him:
これにいひけるは汝らが我を遣して汝らの祈を献げしめしところのイスラエルの神ヱホバかくいひ給ふ
10 If ye will indeed remain in this land, then will I build you up, and I will not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I have bethought me of the evil that I have done unto you.
汝らもし信に此地に留らばわれ汝らを建てて倒さず汝らを植て拔じそは我汝らに災を降せしを悔ればなり
11 Be ye not afraid because of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid: have no fear of him, saith the Lord; for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you out of his hand.
ヱホバいひたまふ汝らが畏るるところのバビロンの王を畏るる勿れ彼をおそるる勿れわれ汝らとともにありて汝らを救ひ彼の手より汝らを拯ふべし
12 And I will give unto you mercy, that he may have mercy upon you, and let you return to your own land.
われ汝らを恤みまた彼をして汝らを恤ませ汝らを故土に歸らしめん
13 But if ye say, We will not remain in this land, so as not to hearken to the voice of the Lord your God,
然ど汝らもし我らはこの地に留らじ汝らの神ヱホバの聲に遵はじと言ひ
14 Saying, No; but into the land of Egypt will we go, that we may not see war, nor hear the sound of the cornet, and that we may not have hunger for bread; and there will we dwell;
また然りわれらはかの戰爭を見ず箛の聲をきかず食物に乏しからざるエジプトの地にいたりて彼處に住はんといはば
15 And now therefore hear the word of the Lord, ye remnant of Judah, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, If ye will indeed set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go thither to sojourn there:
汝らユダの遺れる者よヱホバの言をきけ萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ汝らもし強てエジプトにゆきて彼處に住はば
16 Then shall the sword, of which ye are afraid, there overtake you in the land of Egypt; and the famine, whereof ye are in dread, shall there cleave close unto you in Egypt; and there shall ye die.
汝らが懼るるところの劍エジプトの地にて汝らに臨み汝らが恐るるところの饑饉エジプトにて汝らにおよばん而して汝らは彼處に死べし
17 So shall be all the men that have set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there, —they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; and they shall have none that remaineth or escapeth from the evil that I am bringing over them.
凡そエジプトにおもむき至りて彼處に住はんとする人々は劍と饑饉と疫病に死べしその中には我彼らに降さんところの災を脱れて遺る者無るべし
18 For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, As my anger and my fury were poured forth over the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so shall my fury be poured forth over you, when ye enter into Egypt; and ye shall become an oath, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a disgrace; and ye shall never see this place again.
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ我震怒と憤恨のヱルサレムに住る者に注ぎし如くわが憤恨汝らがエジプトにいらん時に汝らに注がん汝らは呪詛となり詫異となり罵詈となり凌辱とならん汝らは再びこの處を見ざるべしと
19 The Lord hath spoken concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah, “Ye shall not go into Egypt:” ye must know for certain that I have warned you this day.
ユダの遺れる者よヱホバ汝らにつきていひたまへり汝らエジプトにゆく勿れと汝ら今日わが汝らを警めしことを確に知れ
20 For ye have dissembled in regard to what your intentions are; for ye sent me unto the Lord your God, saying, Pray in our behalf unto the Lord our God: and in accordance with all that the Lord our God may say, so tell unto us, and we will do it.
汝ら我を汝らの神ヱホバに遣して言へり我らの爲に我らの神ヱホバに祈り我らの神ヱホバの汝に示したまふ事をことごとく我らに告よ我ら之を行はんと斯なんぢら自ら欺けり
21 And I have told it to you this day; but ye have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord your God, and this in all with which he hath sent me unto you.
われ今日汝らに告たれど汝らは汝らの神ヱホバの聲に遵はず汝らはヱホバが我を遣して命ぜしめたまひし事には都て遵はざりき
22 But now know for certain that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go to sojourn there.
然ば汝らはその往て住んとねがふ處にて劍と饑饉と疫病に死ることを今確に知るべし
