Jeremiah 9
1 Oh that one would make my head water, and my eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughters of my people!
ああ我わが首を水となし我目を涙の泉となすことをえんものを我民の女の殺されたる者の爲に晝夜哭かん
2 Oh that one would place me in the wilderness in a lodging-place of wayfaring men. that I might leave my people, and go from them! for all of them are adulterers, a band of traitors.
嗚呼われ曠野に旅人の寓所をえんものを我民を離れてさりゆかん彼らはみな姦淫するもの悖れる者の族なればなり
3 And they bend their tongues, their bow of falsehood, and not for the truth are they valiant in the land; for from evil to evil do they proceed, and me they know not, saith the Lord.
彼らは弓を援くがごとく其舌をもて僞をいだす彼らは此地において眞實のために強からず惡より惡にすすみまた我を知ざるなりとヱホバいひたまふ
4 Take ye heed every one of his neighbor, and on any brother place ye no reliance; for every brother will surely supplant, and every neighbor will go about as a talebearer.
汝らおのおの其隣に心せよ何の兄弟をも信ずる勿れ兄弟はみな欺きをなし隣はみな讒りまはればなり
5 And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and the truth will they not speak: they have taught their tongue to speak falsehood, they weary themselves to commit iniquity.
彼らはおのおの其隣を欺きかつ眞實をいはず其舌に謊をかたることを敎へ惡をなすに勞る
6 Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit: through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the Lord.
汝の住居は詭譎の中にあり彼らは詭譎のために我を識ことをいなめりとヱホバいひたまふ
7 Therefore thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and probe them; for how [else] shall I do because of the daughter of my people?
故に萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまへり視よ我かれらを鎔し試むべしわれ我民の女の事を如何になすべきや
8 A murderous arrow is their tongue; [every one] speaketh deceit: with his mouth speaketh he peaceably to his neighbor, but in his heart he layeth wait for him.
彼らの舌は殺す矢のごとしかれら詭をいふまた其口をもて隣におだやかにかたれども其心の中には害をはかるなり
9 Shall I not for these things inflict punishment on them? saith the Lord: or shall not on a nation such as this my soul be avenged?
ヱホバいひたまふ我これらの事のために彼らを罰せざらんや我心はかくのごとき民に仇を復さざらんや
10 For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation; because they are burnt up, so that no man can pass through them; and they hear not the voice of the cattle: both the fowls of the heavens and the beasts are fled; they are gone away.
われ山のために泣き咷び野の牧場のために悲むこれらは焚れて過る人なしまたここに牛羊の聲をきかず天空の鳥も獸も皆逃てさりぬ
11 And I will change Jerusalem into heaps of ruins, a dwelling for monsters: and the cities of Judah will I make desolate, without an inhabitant.
われヱルサレムを邱墟とし山犬の巢となさんまたユダの諸の邑々を荒して住む人なからしめん
12 Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the Lord hath spoken, that he may declare it: for what is the land destroyed, burnt up like the wilderness, without one that passeth through?
智慧ありてこの事を曉る人は誰ぞやヱホバの口の言を受てこれを示さん者は誰ぞやこの地滅されまた野のごとく焚れて過る者なきにいたりしは何故ぞ
13 And the Lord said, Because they forsook my law which I had set before them, and hearkened not to my voice, and walked not therein;
ヱホバいひたまふ是彼ら我その前に立しところの律法をすて我聲をきかず之に從はざるによりてなり
14 But have walked after the stubbornness of their own heart, and after the Be'alim, which their fathers had taught them.
彼らはその心の剛愎なるとその列祖たちがおのれに敎へしバアルとに從へり
15 Therefore thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will feed them—this people, with wormwood, and give them poison-water to drink.
この故に萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ視よわれ彼等すなはち斯民に茵蔯を食はせ毒なる水を飮せ
16 And I will scatter them among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send out after them the sword, till I have consumed them.
彼らもその先祖たちもしらざりし國人のうちに彼らを散しまた彼らを滅し盡すまで其後に劍をつかはさん
17 Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Consider it well, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for the women skilled in lament, that they may come;
萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふ汝らよく考へ哭婦をよびきたれ又人を遣して智き婦をまねけよ
18 And let them make haste, and take up for us a lamentation, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids drop down water.
彼らは速にきたりて我儕のために哭哀しみ我儕の目に涙をこぼさせ我儕の目蓋より水を溢れしめん
19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we wasted! we are greatly ashamed; because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings.
シオンより哀の聲きこゆ云く嗚呼われら滅され我ら痛く辱めらる我らは其地を去り彼らはわが住家を毀ちたり
20 For hear, O ye women, the word of the Lord, and let your ear perceive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbor lamentation.
婦たちよヱホバの言をきけ汝らの耳に其口の言をいれよ汝らの女に哭ことを敎へおのおのその隣に哀の歌を敎ふべし
21 For death is come up through our windows, is entered into our palaces; to cut off the children from the street, the young men from the open places.
そは死のぼりてわれらの窓よりいり我らの殿舍に入り外にある諸子を絕し街にある壯年を殺さんとすればなり
22 Speak, Thus saith the Lord, Yea, the carcasses of men shall lie as dung upon the open field, and as the sheaves [left] after the harvestman, with none to gather them.
ヱホバかくいへりと汝云ふべし人の屍は糞土のごとく田野に墮ちんまた收穫者のうしろに殘りて斂めずにある把のごとくならんと
23 Thus hath said the Lord, Let not the wise glorify himself in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glorify himself in his might, let not the rich glorify himself in his riches;
ヱホバかくいひたまふ智慧ある者はその智慧に誇る勿れ力ある者は其力に誇るなかれ富者はその富に誇ること勿れ
24 But let him that glorifieth himself glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord who exercise kindness, justice, and righteousness, on the earth; for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.
誇る者はこれをもて誇るべし即ち明哲して我を識る事とわがヱホバにして地に仁惠と公道と公義とを行ふ者なるを知る事是なり我これらを悦ぶなりとヱホバいひたまふ
25 Behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, that I will send punishment on all the circumcised who are [yet] uncircumcised;
ヱホバいひたまひけるは視よわれすべて陽の皮に割禮をうけたる者すなはちエジプトとユダとエドムとアンモンの子孫とモアブと野にをりてその鬚を剃る者とを罰する日きたらんそはすべて異邦人は割禮をうけずまたイスラエルの家も心に割禮をうけざればなり
26 On Egypt, and on Judah, and on Edom, and on the children of 'Ammon, and on Moab, and all who have the locks of their hair cut off round that dwell in the wilderness; for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.
ヱホバいひたまひけるは視よわれすべて陽の皮に割禮をうけたる者すなはちエジプトとユダとエドムとアンモンの子孫とモアブと野にをりてその鬚を剃る者とを罰する日きたらんそはすべて異邦人は割禮をうけずまたイスラエルの家も心に割禮をうけざればなり
