Jeremiah 51
1 Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will awaken against Babylon, and against those that dwell in the midst of my opponents, a destroying wind;
ヱホバかくいひたまふ視よわれ滅すところの風を起してバビロンを攻め我に悖る者の中に住む者を攻べし
2 And I will send out unto Babylon fanners, and they shall fan her, and shall empty out her land; for they shall be against her round about on the day of trouble.
われ簸者をバビロンに遣さん彼らこれを簸てその地を空くせん彼らすなはちその禍の日にこれを四方より攻むべし
3 Let the archer come against any one that bendeth his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his armor: and spare ye not her young men: destroy ye utterly all her host.
弓を張る者に向ひまた鎧を被て立あがる者に向ひて射者の者其弓を張らん汝らその壯者を憫れまず其軍勢を悉く滅すべし
4 And the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are pierced through, in her streets.
然ば殺さるる者カルデヤ人の地に踣れ刺るる者その街に踣れん
5 For not widowed are Israel and Judah of their God, of the Lord of hosts; for the land of those was filled with guiltiness against the Holy One of Israel.
イスラエルとユダはその神萬軍のヱホバに棄てられず彼らの地にはイスラエルの至聖者にむかひて犯せるところの罪充つ
6 Flee ye out of the midst of Babylon, and save ye every man his life: perish not for her iniquity; for this is a time of vengeance unto the Lord; a recompense is he paying out unto her.
汝らバビロンのうちより逃げいでておのおの其生命をすくへ其の罪のために滅さるる勿れ今はヱホバの仇をかへしたまふ時なれば報をそれになしたまふなり
7 A golden cup hath Babylon been in the hand of the Lord, that made drunken all the earth: of her wine have nations drunk; therefore are the nations rendered mad.
バビロンは金の杯にしてヱホバの手にあり諸の地を醉せたり國々その酒を飮めり是をもて國々狂へり
8 Suddenly is Babylon fallen and broken: wail ye for her; fetch balm for her wound, perhaps she may be healed.
バビロンは忽ち踣れて壞る之がために哭けその傷のために乳香をとれ是或は愈ん
9 “We would have healed Babylon, but she was not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one unto his own country; for her punishment reacheth unto the heavens, and it is lifted up even to the skies.”
われらバビロンを醫さんとすれども愈ず我らこれをすてて各その國に歸るべしそはその罰天におよび雲にいたればなり
10 The Lord hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us relate in Zion the work of the Lord our God.
ヱホバわれらの義をあらはしたまふ來れシオンに於て我らの神ヱホバの作爲をのべん
11 Make bright the arrows; fill the quivers: the Lord hath awakened the spirit of the kings of Media; for against Babylon is his intention, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance for his temple.
矢を磨ぎ楯を取れヱホバ、メデア人の王等の心を激發したまふヱホバ、バビロンをせめんと謀り之を滅さんとしたまふ是ヱホバの復仇その殿の復仇たるなり
12 Against the walls of Babylon lift up the standard, strengthen the watch, set up the watchmen, make ready the ambushes; for the Lord hath both intended and done what he had spoken against the inhabitants of Babylon.
バビロンの石垣に向ひて纛を樹て圍を堅くし番兵を設け伏兵をそなへよ蓋ヱホバ、バビロンに住める者をせめんとて謀りその言しごとく行ひたまへばなり
13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, great in treasures, thy end is come, the full measure of thy selfish robbery.
おほくの水の傍に住み多くの財寶をもてる者よ汝の終汝の貧婪の限來れり
14 Sworn hath the Lord of hosts by himself, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with locusts: and they shall lift up the battle-cry against thee.
萬軍のヱホバおのれを指して誓ひいひ給ふ我まことに人を蝗のごとくに汝の中に充さん彼ら汝に向ひて鯨波の聲を揚ぐべし
15 He made the earth by his power, he established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding he stretched out the heavens.
ヱホバその能力をもて地をつくり其知慧をもて世界を建てその明哲をもて天を舒たまへり
16 At the sound when he giveth a multitude of waters in the heavens, and causeth clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; when he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures:
彼聲を發したまふ時は天に衆の水いづかれ雲を地の極より起らしめ電光と雨をおこし風をその庫よりいだしたまふ
17 Then standeth every man as brutish without knowledge; ashamed is every goldsmith because of the graven image; for falsehood is his molten work, and there is no breath therein.
すべての人は獸のごとくにして智慧なし諸の鑄物師はその作りし像のために辱を取る其鑄るところの像は僞の者にしてその中に靈なし
18 They are vanity, the work of deception: in the time of their punishment shall they vanish.
其等は空しき者にして迷妄の工作なりわが臨むとき其等は滅べし
19 Not like these is the portion of Jacob; for He is the former of all things, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance: The Lord of hosts is his name.
ヤコブの分は此の如くならず彼は萬物およびその產業の族の造化主なりその名は萬軍のヱホバといふ
20 Thou art a hammer unto me, weapons of war; and I strike down with thee nations, and I destroy with thee kingdoms;
汝はわが鎚にして戰の器具なりわれ汝をもて諸の邦を碎き汝をもて萬國を滅さん
21 And I strike down with thee the horse and his rider; and I strike down with thee the chariot and its rider;
われ汝をもて馬とその騎る者を摧き汝をもて車とその御する者を碎かん
22 And I strike down with thee man and woman; and I strike down with thee the aged and the lad; and I strike down with thee the young man and the virgin:
われ汝をもて男と女をくだき汝をもて老たる者と幼き者をくだき汝をもて壯者と童女をくだくべし
23 And I strike down with thee the shepherd and his flock; and I strike down with thee the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and I strike down with thee governors and rulers.
われ汝をもて牧者とその群をくだき汝をもて農夫とその軛を負ふ牛をくだき汝をもて方伯等と督宰等をくだかん
24 But [now] will I repay unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion before your eyes, saith the Lord.
汝らの目の前にて我バビロンとカルデヤに住るすべての者がシオンになせし諸の惡きことに報いんとヱホバいひたまふ
25 Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the Lord, which destroyest all the earth; and I will stretch out my hand over thee, and I will roll thee down from the rocks, and will render thee a burnt mountain.
ヱホバ言ひたまはく全地を滅したる滅す山よ視よわれ汝の敵となるわれ手を汝の上に伸て汝を巖より轉ばし汝を焚山となすべし
26 And they shall not take from thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but everlasting ruins shalt thou be, saith the Lord.
ヱホバいひたまふ人汝より石を取て隅石となすことあらじ亦汝より石を取りて基礎となすことあらじ汝はいつまでも荒地となりをらん
27 Lift ye up a standard in the land, blow ye the cornet among the nations, make ready against her nations, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz; appoint against her a commander; cause the horses to come up like the hairy locusts.
纛を地に樹て箛を國々の中に吹き國々の民をあつめて之を攻めアララテ、ミンニ、アシケナズの諸國を招きて之を攻め軍長をたてて之を攻め恐しき蝗のごとくに馬をすすめよ
28 Make ready against her the nations with the kings of Media, its governors, and all its rulers, and all the land of their dominion.
國々の民をあつめて之を攻めメデア人の王等とその方伯等とその督宰等およびそのすべての領地の人をあつめて之を攻めよ
29 And the earth quaketh and trembleth; for every one of the purposes of the Lord is fulfilled against Babylon, to change the land of Babylon into a desolate country without an inhabitant.
地は震ひ搖かんそはヱホバその意旨をバビロンになしバビロンの地をして住む人なき荒地とならしめたまふべければなり
30 The mighty men of Babylon have ceased to fight, they sit still in [their] strongholds; their might is vanished; they are become as women: they have burnt her dwelling-places; her bars are broken.
バビロンの勇者は戰をやめて其城にこもりその力失せて婦のごとくにならん其宅は燒けその門閂は折れん
31 One runner shall run to meet another runner, and one messenger to meet another messenger, to tell unto the king of Babylon that his city is captured at all ends,
馹は趨て馹にあひ使者は趨て使者にあひバビロンの王につげて邑は盡く取られ
32 And that the passages have been seized, and that they have burnt the reeds with fire, and that the men of war are affrighted.
渡口は取られ沼は燒れ兵卒は怖るといはん
33 For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, the daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floor, at the time they thresh therein; but yet a little while more, when the time of harvest shall come for her.
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふバビロンの女は禾場のごとしその踏るる時きたれり暫くありてその苅るる時いたらん
34 “Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon devoured me, he crushed me, he set me down as an empty vessel, he swallowed me up like a huge serpent, he filled his belly with my delicacies: he drove me out.
バビロンの王ネブカデネザル我を食ひ我を滅し我を空き器のごとくなし龍の如くに我を呑みわが珍饈をもて其腹を充し我を逐出せり
35 the violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon,” will the inhabitress of Zion say; and “My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea,” will Jerusalem say.
シオンに住る者いはんわがうけし虐遇と我肉はバビロンにかかるべしヱルサレムいはん我血はカルデヤに住める者にかかるべしと
36 Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will contend in thy cause, and execute vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and cause her springs to fail.
さればヱホバかくいひたまふ視よわれ汝の訟を理し汝の爲に仇を復さん我その海を涸かし其泉を乾かすべし
37 And Babylon shall become ruinous heaps, a dwelling-place for monsters, an astonishment, and a derision, without an inhabitant.
バビロンは頽壘となり山犬の巢窟となり詫異となり嗤笑となり人なき所とならん
38 Together like lions shall they roar: they shall yell like the lions' whelps.
彼らは獅子のごとく共に吼え小獅のごとくに吼ゆ
39 When they are heated will I prepare their drinking-feasts, and I will make them drunken, in order that they may be joyful, and [then] sleep a perpetual sleep, and not awake again, saith the Lord.
彼らの慾の燃る時にわれ筵を設けてかれらを醉せ彼らをして喜ばしめながき寢にいりて目を醒すことなからしめんとヱホバいひたまふ
40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like wethers with he-goats.
われ屠る羔羊のごとく又牡羊と牡山羊のごとくにかれらをくだらしめん
41 How is Sheshach captured! and how is conquered the praise of the whole earth! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
セシヤクいかにして取られしや全地の人の頌美者いかにして執へられしや國々の中にバビロンいかにして詫異となりしや
42 The sea is come up over Babylon: with the multitude of its waves is she covered.
海バビロンに溢れかかりその多くの波濤これを覆ふ
43 Her cities are become desolate places, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein not any man shall dwell, and through which no son of man shall pass along.
その諸邑は荒れて燥ける地となり沙漠となり住む人なき地とならん人の子そこを過ることあらじ
44 And I will inflict punishment on Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth what he hath swallowed up out of his mouth; and nations shall not assemble together like a stream unto him any more; yea, the wall of Babylon also is fallen.
われベルをバビロンに罰しその呑みたる者を口より取出さん國々はまた川の如くに彼に來らじバビロンの石垣踣れん
45 Go ye out of the midst of her, my people, and save ye every man his life from the fierceness of the anger of the Lord.
我民よ汝らその中よりいで各ヱホバの烈しき怒をまぬかれてその命を救へ
46 And so that your heart may not faint, and ye fear at the report that is heard in the land: when the report cometh in one year, and after that in another year cometh another report, and when violence [be done] in the land, [by] ruler against ruler.
汝ら心を弱くする勿れ此地にてきく所の浮言によりて畏るる勿れ浮言は此年も來り次の年も亦きたらん此地に强暴あり宰者と宰者とあひ攻むることあらん
47 Therefore, behold, days are coming, when I will inflict punishment on the graven images of Babylon, and her whole land shall be put to shame, and all her slain shall fail in the midst of her.
故に視よ我バビロンの偶像を罰する日來らんその全地は辱められ其殺さるる者は悉くその中に踣れん
48 And then shall the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, sing because of Babylon; for from the north shall come unto her the destroyers, saith the Lord.
然して天と地とその中にあるところのすべての者はバビロンの事の爲に歡び歌はんそは敗壞者北の方より此處に來ればなりヱホバこれをいひたまふ
49 Also Babylon is destined to fall, O ye slain ones of Israel, also at Babylon fall the slain of all the land.
バビロンがイスラエルの殺さるる者を踣せし如く全地の殺さるる者バビロンに踣るべし
50 [But] ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember afar off the Lord, and let Jerusalem rise up in your heart.
劍を逃るる者よ往け止る勿れ遠方よりヱホバを憶えヱルサレムを汝らの心に置くべし
51 “We had been made ashamed, because we had heard reproach: confusion had covered our faces; because strangers were come into the sanctuaries of the Lord's house.”
罵言をきくによりて我ら羞づ異邦人ヱホバの室の聖處にいるによりて我らの面には羞恥盈つ
52 Therefore, behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will inflict punishment on her graven images: and through all her land shall groan the deadly wounded.
この故にヱホバいひたまふ視よわがその偶像を罰する日いたらん傷けられたる者はその全國に呻吟べし
53 Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength; yet from me should destroyers come unto her, saith the Lord.
たとひバビロン天に昇るとも其城を高くして堅むるとも敗壞者我よりいでて彼らにいたらんとヱホバいひたまふ
54 A sound of a painful cry cometh from Babylon, and of a great breach from the land of the Chaldeans;
バビロンに號咷の聲ありカルデヤ人の地に大なる敗壞あり
55 Because the Lord wasteth Babylon, and destroyeth out of her the loud noise; but their waves roar like great waters, the noise of their voice is sent forth;
ヱホバ、バビロンをほろぼし其中に大なる聲を絕したまふ其波濤は巨水のごとくに鳴りその聲は響わたる
56 Because the destroyer is come over her, over Babylon, and her mighty men are caught, every one of their bows is broken; for the God of recompenses, the Lord, will surely requite.
破滅者これに臨みバビロンにいたる其勇士は執へられ其弓は折らるヱホバは施報をなす神なればかならず報いたまふなり
57 And I will make drunken her princes, and her wise men, her governors, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not awake again, saith the King, The Lord of hosts is his name.
われその牧伯等と博士等と督宰等と勇士とを醉せん彼らは永き寢にいりて目を醒すことあらじ萬軍のヱホバと名くる王これをいひ給ふ
58 Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Every one of the broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly overthrown, and her high gates shall be burnt with fire; so that nations shall have labored in vain, and the people for the fire, and so shall they have wearied themselves.
萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふバビロンの闊き石垣は悉く毀たれその高き門は火に焚れん斯民の勞苦は徒となるべし民は火のために憊れん
59 The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Serayah the son of Neriyah, the son of Machseyah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah unto Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Serayah was chief chamberlain.
これマアセヤの子なるネリヤの子セラヤがユダの王ゼデキヤとともに其治世の四年にバビロンに往くときにあたりて豫言者ヱレミヤがこれに命ぜし言なりこのセラヤは侍從の長なり
60 And Jeremiah wrote down all the evil that should come upon Babylon in one book, namely, all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
ヱレミヤ、バビロンにのぞまんとする諸の災を書にしるせり是即ちバビロンの事につきて錄せる此すべての言なり
61 And Jeremiah said to Serayah, As thou comest to Babylon, see to it, that thou read all these words;
ヱレミヤ、セラヤにいひけるは汝バビロンに往しとき愼みてこの諸の言を讀め
62 And thou shalt say, O Lord, thou thyself hast spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, so that there shall not be in it an inhabitant, either man or beast; but that it shall become a desolate place for ever.
而して汝いふべしヱホバよ汝はこの處を滅し人と畜をいはず凡て此處に住む者なからしめて窮なくこれを荒地となさんと此處にむかひていひたまへり
63 And it shall be, when thou hast finished reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and throw it into the midst of the Euphrates;
汝この書を讀畢りしとき之に石をむすびつけてユフラテの中に投いれよ
64 And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise again from the evil that I will bring upon her: and her people shall be wearied. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
而していふべしバビロンは我これに災菑をくだすによりて是しづみて復おこらざるべし彼らは絕はてんと／此まではヱレミヤの言なり
