< Jeremiah 11 >

1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
ヱホバよりヱレミヤにのぞめる言いふ
2 “Hear the words of this covenant, and you have spoken to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
汝らこの契約の言をききユダの人とヱルサレムにすめる者に告よ
3 and you have said to them, Thus said YHWH God of Israel: Cursed [is] the man who does not obey the words of this covenant,
汝かれらに語れイスラエルの神ヱホバかくいひたまふこの契約の言に遵はざる人は詛はる
4 That I commanded your fathers, In the day of My bringing them out from the land of Egypt, Out of the iron furnace, saying, Listen to My voice, and you have done them, According to all that I command you, And you have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for God,
この契約はわが汝らの先祖をエジプトの地鐵の爐の中より導き出せし日にかれらに命ぜしものなり即ち我いひけらく汝ら我聲をきき我汝らに命ぜし諸の事に從ひて行はば汝らは我民となり我は汝らの神とならん
5 In order to establish the oath that I have sworn to your fathers, To give to them a land flowing with milk and honey, as this day.” And I answer and say, “Amen, O YHWH.”
われ汝らの先祖に乳と蜜の流るる地を與へんと誓ひしことを成就んと即ち今日のごとしその時我こたへてアーメン、ヱホバといへり
6 And YHWH says to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear the words of this covenant, And you have done them.
またヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは汝すべて此等の言をユダの諸邑とヱルサレムの衢にしめし汝ら此契約の言をききてこれを行へといふべし
7 For I certainly testified against your fathers, In the day of My bringing them up out of the land of Egypt—until this day, Rising early and testifying, saying, Listen to My voice,
われ汝らの列祖をエジプトの地より導出せし日より今日にいたるまで切に彼らを戒め頻に戒めて汝ら我聲に遵へといへり
8 And they have not listened nor inclined their ear, And they each walk in the stubbornness of their evil heart, And I bring on them all the words of this covenant, That I commanded to do, and they did not.”
然ど彼らは遵はずその耳を傾けずおのおの其惡き心の剛愎なるにしたがひて歩めり故にわれ此契約の言を彼等にきたらす是はわがかれらに之を行へと命ぜしかども彼等がおこなはざりし者なり
9 And YHWH says to me: “A conspiracy is found in the men of Judah, And in the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
またヱホバ我にいひたまひけるはユダの人々とヱルサレムに住る者の中に叛逆の事あり
10 They have turned back to the iniquities of their first fathers, Who refused to hear My words, And they have gone after other gods to serve them, The house of Israel and the house of Judah Have made void My covenant that I made with their fathers.”
彼らは我言をきくことを好まざりしところのその先祖の罪にかへり亦他の神に從ひて之に奉へたりイスラエルの家とユダの家はわがその列祖たちと締たる契約をやぶれり
11 Therefore, thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am bringing calamity on them, That they are not able to go out from, And they have cried to Me, And I do not listen to them.
この故にヱホバかくいひ給ふみよわれ災禍をかれらにくださん彼らこれを免かるることをえざるべし彼ら我をよぶとも我聽じ
12 And the cities of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem have gone, And they have cried to the gods, To whom they are making incense, And they give no deliverance at all to them, In the time of their distress.
ユダの邑とヱルサレムに住る者はゆきてその香を焚し神を龥んされど是等はその災禍の時に絕てかれらを救ふことあらじ
13 For the number of your cities have been your gods, O Judah, And [for] the number of the streets of Jerusalem You have placed altars to a shameful thing, Altars to make incense to Ba‘al.
ユダよ汝の神の數は汝の邑の數のごとし且汝らヱルサレムの衢の數にしたがひて恥べき者に壇をたてたり即ちバアルに香を焚んとて壇をたつ
14 And you, you do not pray for this people, Nor do you lift up cry and prayer for them, For I do not listen in the time of their calling to Me for their distress.
故に汝この民の爲に祈る勿れ又その爲に泣きあるひは求る勿れ彼らがその災禍のために我を呼ときわれ彼らに聽ざるべし
15 What has My beloved to do in My house, Her doing wickedness with many, And does the holy flesh pass over from you? When you do evil, then you exult.
わが愛する者は我室にて何をなすや惡き謀をなすや願と聖き肉汝に災を脱れしむるやもし然らば汝よろこぶべし
16 An olive, green, beautiful, of good fruit, Has YHWH called your name, At the noise of a great tumult He has kindled fire against it, And its thin branches have been broken.
ヱホバ汝の名を嘉果ある美しき靑橄欖の樹と稱たまひしがおほいなる喧嚷の聲をもて之に火をかけ且その枝を折りたまふ
17 And YHWH of Hosts, who is planting you, Has spoken calamity concerning you, For the evil of the house of Israel, and of the house of Judah, That they have done to themselves, To provoke Me to anger, to make incense to Ba‘al.”
汝を植し萬軍のヱホバ汝の災をさだめ給へりこれイスラエルの家とユダの家みづから害ふの惡をなしたるによるなり即ちバアルに香を焚きてわれを怒らせたり
18 And, O YHWH, cause me to know, and I know, Then You have showed me their doings.
ヱホバ我に知せたまひければ我これを知るその時汝彼らの作爲を我にしめしたまへり
19 And I [am] as a trained lamb brought to slaughter, And I have not known That they have devised schemes against me: “We destroy the tree with its food, And cut him off from the land of the living, And his name is not remembered again.”
我は牽れて宰られにゆく羔の如く彼らが我をそこなはんとて謀をなすを知ず彼らいふいざ我ら樹とその果とを共に滅さんかれを生る者の地より絕てその名を人に忘れしむべしと
20 And O YHWH of Hosts, judging righteousness, Trying reins and heart, I see Your vengeance against them, For I have revealed my cause to You.
義き鞫をなし人の心腸を察りたまふ萬軍のヱホバよ我わが訴を汝にのべたればわれをして汝が彼らに仇を報すを見せしめたまへ
21 Therefore, thus said YHWH concerning the men of Anathoth, who are seeking your life, saying, “Do not prophesy in the Name of YHWH, and you do not die by our hands.”
是をもてヱホバ、アナトテの人々につきてかくいひたまふ彼等汝の生命を取んと索めて言ふ汝ヱホバの名をもて預言する勿れ恐らくは汝我らの手に死んと
22 Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Behold, I am seeing after them, The chosen ones die by sword, Their sons and their daughters die by famine,
故に萬軍のヱホバかくいひ給ふみよ我かれらを罰すべし壯丁は劍に死にその子女は饑饉にて死なん
23 And they have no remnant, For I bring calamity to the men of Anathoth, The year of their inspection!”
餘る者なかるべし我災をアナトテの人々にきたらしめわが彼らを罰するの年をきたらしめん
