Jeremiah 7
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
ヱホバよりヱレミヤにのぞめる言云ふ
2 Place thyself in the gate of the house of the Lord, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all ye of Judah, that enter in by these gates to bow down before the Lord.
汝ヱホバの室の門にたち其處にてこの言を宣て言へヱホバを拜まんとてこの門にいりしユダのすべての人よヱホバの言をきけ
3 Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your deeds, and I will permit you to dwell in this place.
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひ給ふ汝らの途と汝らの行を改めよさらばわれ汝等をこの地に住しめん
4 [But] do not rely on the words of falsehood, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, [as] they [say].
汝ら是はヱホバの殿なりヱホバの殿なりヱホバの殿なりと云ふ僞の言をたのむ勿れ
5 For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your deeds; if ye thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor;
汝らもし全くその途と行を改め人と人との間を正しく鞫き
6 If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and walk not after other gods to your own hurt:
異邦人と孤兒と寡を虐げず無辜者の血をこの處に流さず他の神に從ひて害をまねかずば
7 Then will I permit you to dwell in this place, in the land that I have given to your fathers, from eternity to eternity.
我なんぢらを我汝等の先祖にあたへしこの地に永遠より永遠にいたるまで住しむべし
8 Behold, ye rely on the words of falsehood, that cannot profit.
みよ汝らは益なき僞の言を賴む
9 How? will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Ba'al, and walk after other gods of which ye have no knowledge;
汝等は盜み殺し姦淫し妄りて誓ひバアルに香を焚き汝らがしらざる他の神にしたがふなれど
10 And [then] come and stand before my presence in this house, which is called by my name, and say, “We are delivered;” in order to do all these abominations?
我名をもて稱へらるるこの室にきたりて我前にたち我らはこれらの憎むべきことを行ふとも救はるるなりといふは何にぞや
11 Is then this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? [But] I also, behold, I have seen it, saith the Lord.
わが名をもて稱へらるる此室は汝らの目には盜賊の巢と見ゆるや我も之をみたりとヱホバいひたまふ
12 For go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to dwell at the first, and see what I did unto it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.
汝等わが初シロに於て我名を置し處にゆき我がイスラエルの民の惡のために其處になせしところのことをみよ
13 And now, whereas ye have done all these acts, saith the Lord, and I spoke unto you, causing [the prophets] to rise up early and speaking, while ye would not hear; and I called you, but ye would not answer:
ヱホバいひたまふ今汝ら此等のすべての事をなす又われ汝らに語り頻にかたりたれども聽かず汝らを呼びたれども答へざりき
14 Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, whereon ye rely, and unto the place which I have given to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
この故に我シロになせしごとく我名をもて稱へらるる此室になさんすなはち汝等が賴むところ我汝らと汝らの先祖にあたへし此處になすべし
15 And I will cast you out of my presence, as I have cast out all your brethren, all the seed of Ephraim.
またわれ汝等のすべての兄弟すなはちエフライムのすべての裔を棄てしごとく我前より汝らをも棄つべし
16 But thou—pray not thou in behalf of this people, nor lift up in their behalf entreaty or prayer, nor make intercession to me; for I will not hear thee.
故に汝この民のために祈る勿れ彼らの爲に歎くなかれ求むるなかれ又我にとりなしをなす勿れわれ汝にきかじ
17 Dost thou not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
汝かれらがユダの邑とヱルサレムの街になすところを見ざるか
18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven, and they pour out drink-offerings unto other gods, in order to provoke me to anger.
諸子は薪を拾め父は火を燃き婦は麺を搏ねパンをつくりて之を天后にそなふ又かれら他の神の前に酒をそそぎて我を怒らす
19 Do they provoke me to anger? saith the Lord, [and] not themselves, to the shame of their own faces?
ヱホバいひたまふ彼ら我を怒らするか是れおのが面を辱むるにあらずや
20 Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold my anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, over man, and over beast, and over the trees of the field, and over the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and it shall not be quenched.
是故に主ヱホバかくいひたまふ視よわが震怒とわが憤怒はこの處と人と獸と野の樹および地の果にそそがん且燃て滅ざるべし
21 Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Add your burnt-offerings unto your peace-sacrifices, and eat the flesh thereof.
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ汝らの犠牲に燔祭の物をあはせて肉をくらへ
22 For I spoke not with your fathers, and I commanded them not on the day of my bringing them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt-offering or sacrifice;
そはわれ汝等の先祖をエジプトより導きいだせし日に燔祭と犠牲とに就てかたりしことなく又命ぜしことなし
23 But this thing did I command them, saying, Hearken to my voice, and I will be unto you for a God, and ye shall be unto me for a people; and walk ye altogether on the way which I may command you, in order that it may be well unto you.
惟われこの事を彼等に命じ汝ら我聲を聽ばわれ汝らの神となり汝ら我民とならん且わが汝らに命ぜしすべての道を行みて福祉をうべしといへり
24 Yet they hearkened not, and inclined not their ear; but they walked in the counsels, in the stubbornness of their evil heart; and they went backward, and not forward:
されど彼らはきかず其耳を傾けずおのれの惡き心の謀と剛愎なるとにしたがひて行みまた後を我にむけて其面を向けざりき
25 Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt until this day; and I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, sending them daily in the morning early;
汝らの先祖がエジプトの地をいでし日より今日にいたるまでわれ我僕なる預言者を汝らにつかはし日々晨より之をつかはせり
26 Yet they hearkened not unto me, and inclined not their ear; but they hardened their neck; they did worse than their fathers.
されど彼らは我にきかず耳を傾けずして其項を強くしその列祖よりも愈りて惡をなすなり
27 And if thou speak unto them all these words, and they will not hearken to thee; and if thou call unto them, and they will not answer thee:
汝彼らに此等のすべてのことばを語るとも汝にきかずかれらを呼ぶとも汝にこたへざるべし
28 Then shalt thou say unto them, This is the nation that hearken not to the voice of the Lord their God, and accept not correction; lost is the truth, and is obliterated from their mouth.
汝かく彼らに語れこれは其神ヱホバの聲を聽ずその訓を受ざる民なり眞實はうせてその口に絕たり
29 Cut off thy flowing hair, and cast it away, and take up on mountain-tops a lamentation; for rejected hath the Lord and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
(シオンの女よ)汝の髮を剃りてこれを棄て山の上に哀哭の聲をあげよヱホバその怒るところの世の人をすててこれを離れたまへばなり
30 For the children of Judah have done what is evil in my eyes, saith the Lord: they have set up their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.
ヱホバいひたまふユダの民は我前に惡を行へり即ちその憎むべき者を我名をもて稱へらるる室に置てこれを汚せり
31 And they have built the high-places of Thophet, which is in the valley of Ben-hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I had not commanded, and which never came into my mind.
又ベンヒンノムの谷に於てトペテの崇邱を築きてその子女を火に焚かんとせり我これを命ぜずまた斯ることを思はざりし
32 Therefore, behold days are coming, saith the Lord, that it shall not be called any more Thophet, or The valley of Ben-hinnom, but The valley of slaughter: and they shall bury in Thophet, for want of room.
ヱホバいひたまふ然ば視よ此處をトペテまたはベンヒンノムの谷と稱へずして殺戮の谷と稱ふる日きたらん其は葬るべき地所なきまでにトペテに葬るべければなり
33 And the carcasses of this people shall become food unto the fowls of the heavens, and unto the beasts of the earth, with none to chase them away.
この民の屍は天空の鳥と地の獸の食物とならんこれを逐ふものなかるべし
34 And I will cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of gladness, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride; for a desert shall the land become.
その時われユダの邑とヱルサレムの街に欣喜の聲 歡樂の聲 新婿の聲 新婦の聲なからしむべしこの地荒蕪ればなり
