< Jeremiah 32 >

1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah—it [is] the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar—
ユダの王ゼデキヤの十年即ちネブカデネザルの十八年の頃ヱホバの言ヱレミヤにのぞめり
2 And then the forces of the king of Babylon are laying siege against Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet has been shut up in the court of the prison that [is] in the house of the king of Judah,
その時バビロンの軍勢ヱルサレムを攻環み居て預言者ヱレミヤはユダの王の室にある獄の庭の内に禁錮られたり
3 where Zedekiah king of Judah has shut him up, saying, “Why are you prophesying, saying, Thus said YHWH: Behold, I am giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he has captured it;
ユダの王ゼデキヤ彼を禁錮ていひけるは汝何故に預言してヱホバかく云たまふといふや云く視よ我この邑をバビロン王の手に付さん彼之を取るべし
4 and Zedekiah king of Judah does not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but is certainly given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and his mouth has spoken with his mouth, and his eyes see his eyes,
またユダの王ゼデキヤはカルデヤ人の手より脱れず必ずバビロン王の手に付され口と口とあひ語り目と目あひ觀るべし
5 and he leads Zedekiah [to] Babylon, and there he is until My inspecting him—a declaration of YHWH—because you fight with the Chaldeans, you do not prosper.”
彼ゼデキヤをバビロンに携きゆかんゼデキヤはわが彼を顧る時まで彼處に居んとヱホバいひたまふ汝らカルデヤ人と戰ふとも勝ことを得じと
6 And Jeremiah says, “A word of YHWH has been to me, saying,
ヱレミヤいふヱホバの言われに臨みていはく
7 Behold, Hanameel son of Shallum, your uncle, is coming to you, saying, Buy my field that [is] in Anathoth for yourself, for the right of redemption [is] yours to buy.”
みよ汝の叔父シヤルムの子ハナメル汝にきたりていはん汝アナトテに在るわが田地を買へそは之を贖ふ事は汝の分なればなりと
8 And Hanameel, my uncle’s son, comes to me, according to the word of YHWH, to the court of the prison, and says to me, “Please buy my field that [is] in Anathoth, that [is] in the land of Benjamin, for the right of possession [is] yours, and redemption yours—buy [it] for yourself.” And I know that it [is] the word of YHWH,
かくてヱホバの言のごとく我叔父の子ハナメル獄の庭にて我に來り云けるは願くは汝ベニヤミンの地のアナトテに在るわが田地を買へそは之を嗣ぎこれを贖ふことは汝の分なれば汝みつからこれを買ひとれとここに於てわれ此はヱホバの言なりと知りたれば
9 and I buy the field that [is] in Anathoth from Hanameel, my uncle’s son, and I weigh the money to him—seventeen shekels of silver.
我叔父の子ハナメルがアナトテにもてる田地をかひて彼に銀十七シケルを稱てあたふ
10 And I write in a scroll, and seal, and cause witnesses to testify, and weigh the silver in balances;
すなはち我その契劵を書てこれに封印し證人をたて權衡をもて銀を稱て與ふ
11 and I take the purchase scroll, the sealed one, according to law and custom, and the open one;
而してわれその約定をのするところの封印せし買劵とその開きたるものを取り
12 and I give the purchase scroll to Baruch son of Neriah, son of Maaseiah, before the eyes of Hanameel, my uncle’s son, and before the eyes of the witnesses, those writing in the purchase scroll, before the eyes of all the Jews who are sitting in the court of the prison.
わが叔父の子ハナメルと買劵に印せし證人の前および獄の庭に坐するユダ人の前にてその買劵をマアセヤの子なるネリヤの子バルクに與へ
13 And I charge Baruch before their eyes, saying,
彼らの前にてわれバルクに命じていひけるは
14 “Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Take these scrolls, this purchase scroll, both the sealed one and the open one, and you have put them in an earthen vessel, that they may remain many days.
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かく云たまふ汝これらの契劵すなはち此買劵の封印せし者と開きたるものを取り之を瓦器の中に貯へて多くの日の間保たしめよ
15 For thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards are bought in this land again.”
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふそは此地に於て人復屋と田地と葡萄園を買ふにいたらんと
16 And I pray to YHWH after my giving the purchase scroll to Baruch son of Neriah, saying,
われ買契をネリヤの子バルクに付せしのちヱホバに祈りて云ひけるは
17 “Aah! Lord YHWH, behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power, and by Your outstretched arm; there is nothing too wonderful for You:
嗚呼主ヱホバよ汝はその大なる能力と伸たる腕をもて天と地を造りたまへり汝には爲す能はざるところなし
18 doing kindness to thousands, and repaying iniquity of fathers into the bosom of their sons after them; God, the great, the mighty, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name;
汝は恩寵を千萬人に施し又父の罪をその後の子孫の懷に報いたまふ汝は大なる全能の神にいまして其名は萬軍のヱホバとまうすなり
19 great in counsel, and mighty in act, in that Your eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of Adam, to give to each according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings;
汝の謀略は大なり汝は事をなすに能あり汝の目は人のこどもらの諸の途を鑒はしおのおのの行に循ひその行爲の果によりて之に報いたまふ
20 in that you have done signs and wonders in the land of Egypt to this day, and in Israel, and among men, and You make for Yourself a name as [at] this day.
汝休徴と奇跡をエジプトの地に行ひたまひて今日にまでいたるまたイスラエルと他の民の中にも然りかくして今日のごとくに汝の名を揚たまへり
21 And You bring forth Your people Israel from the land of Egypt, with signs and with wonders, and by a strong hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great fear,
汝は休徴と奇跡と強き手と伸たる腕と大なる怖しき事をもて汝の民イスラエルをエジプトの地より導きいだし
22 and you give to them this land that you swore to their fathers to give to them, a land flowing with milk and honey,
この地を彼らにたまへり是即ち汝がかれらの先祖等に與へんと誓ひたまひし乳と蜜の流るる地なり
23 and they come in, and possess it, and they have not listened to Your voice, and have not walked in Your law, all that which You laid a charge on them to do they have not done, and You proclaim all this calamity [to] them.
彼等すなはち入てこれを獲たりしかども汝の聲に遵はず汝の例典を行はず凡て汝がなせと命じたまひし事を爲ざりしによりて汝この災を其上にくだらしむ
24 Behold, the [siege] mounds have come to the city to capture it, and the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it, because of the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence; and that which You have spoken has come to pass, and behold, You are seeing.
みよ壘成れり是この邑を取んとて來れるなり劍と饑饉と疫病のためにこの邑は之を攻むるカルデヤ人の手に付さる汝のいひたまひしことば旣に成れり汝之を見たまふなり
25 Yet You have said to me, O Lord YHWH, Buy the field for yourself with money, and cause witnesses to testify—and the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans!”
主ヱホバよ汝われに銀をもて田地を買へ證人を立よといひたまへり然るにこの邑はカルデヤ人の手に付さる
26 And the word of YHWH is to Jeremiah, saying,
時にヱホバの言ヱレミヤに臨みていふ
27 “Behold, I [am] YHWH, God of all flesh: is anything too wonderful for Me?”
みよ我はヱホバなりすべて血氣ある者の神なり我に爲す能はざるところあらんや
28 Therefore, thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am giving this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he has captured it.
故にヱホバかくいふ視よわれ此邑をカルデヤ人の手とバビロンの王ネブカデネザルの手に付さん彼これを取るべし
29 And the Chaldeans who are fighting against this city have come in, and they have set this city on fire, and have burned it—and the houses on whose roofs they made incense to Ba‘al, and poured out drink-offerings to other gods, so as to provoke Me to anger.
この邑を攻るところのカルデヤ人きたり火をこの邑に放ちて之を焚ん屋蓋のうへにて人がバアルに香を焚き他の神に酒をそそぎて我を怒らせしその屋をも彼ら亦焚ん
30 For the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have been doing only evil in My eyes from their youth; for the sons of Israel are surely provoking Me with the work of their hands,” a declaration of YHWH.
そはイスラエルの子孫とユダの子孫はその幼少時よりわが前に惡き事のみをなしまたイスラエルの民はその手の作爲をもて我をいからする事のみをなしたればなりヱホバ之をいふ
31 “For this city has been a cause of My anger and a cause of My fury, even from the day that they built it, and to this day—to turn it aside from before My face,
此邑はその建し日より今日にいたるまで我震怒を惹き我憤恨をおこすところの者なれば我前よりわれ之を除かんとするなり
32 because of all the evil of the sons of Israel, and of the sons of Judah that they have done, so as to provoke Me—they, their kings, their heads, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
こはイスラエルの民とユダの民諸の惡を行ひて我を怒らせしによりてなり彼らその王等その牧伯等その祭司その預言者およびユダの人々とヱルサレムに住る者皆然なせり
33 And they turn the neck to Me, and not the face, and teaching them, rising early and teaching, and they are not listening to accept instruction.
彼ら背を我にむけて面を我にむけずわれ彼らををしへ頻に敎ふれどもかれらは敎をきかずしてうけざるなり
34 And they set their abominations in the house over which My Name is called, so as to defile it.
彼らは憎むべき物をわが名をもて稱へらるる室にたてて之を汚し
35 And they build the high places of Ba‘al that [are] in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through to Molech, which I did not command them, nor did it come up on My heart to do this abomination, so as to cause Judah to sin.
又ベンヒンノムの谷にあるバアルの崇邱を築きその子女をモロクに献げたりわれは彼らにこの憎むべきことを行ひてユダに罪を犯さしむることを命ぜず斯る事は我心におこらざりしなり
36 And now, therefore, thus said YHWH, God of Israel, concerning this city, of which you are saying, It has been given into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword, and by famine, and by pestilence:
いまイスラエルの神ヱホバこの邑すなはち汝らが劍と饑饉と疫病のためにバビロン王の手に付されんといひしところの邑につきて斯いひたまふ
37 Behold, I am gathering them out of all the lands to where I have driven them in My anger, and in My fury, and in great wrath, and I have brought them back to this place, and have caused them to dwell confidently;
みよわれ我震怒と憤恨と大なる怒をもて彼らを逐やりし諸の國より彼らを集め此處に導きかへりて安然に居らしめん
38 and they have been to Me for a people, and I am to them for God;
彼らは我民となり我は彼らの神とならん
39 and I have given to them one heart and one way, to fear Me all the days, for the good of them and their sons after them:
われ彼らに一の心と一の途をあたへて常に我を畏れしめんこは彼らと其子孫とに福をえせしめん爲なり
40 and I have made a perpetual covenant for them, in that I do not turn back from after them for My doing them good, and I put My fear in their heart, so as not to turn aside from me;
われ彼らを棄ずして恩を施すべしといふ永遠の契約をかれらにたて我を畏るるの畏をかれらの心におきて我を離れざらしめん
41 and I have rejoiced over them to do them good, and have planted them in this land in truth, with all my heart, and with all My soul.”
われ悦びて彼らに恩を施し心を盡し精神をつくして誠に彼らを此地に植べし
42 For thus said YHWH: “As I brought to this people all this great calamity, so I am bringing on them all the good that I am speaking concerning them;
ヱホバかくいひたまふわれ此諸の大なる災をこの民に降せしごとくわがかれらに言し諸の福を彼等に降さん
43 and the field has been bought in this land of which you are saying, It [is] a desolation, without man and beast, it has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
人衆この地に田野を買はん是汝等が荒て人も畜もなきにいたりカルデヤ人の手に付されしといへる地なり
44 They buy fields with money, so as to write in a scroll, and to seal, and to cause witnesses to testify, in the land of Benjamin, and in outskirts of Jerusalem, and in cities of Judah, and in cities of the hill-country, and in cities of the low country, and in cities of the south, for I return their captivity,” a declaration of YHWH.
人衆ベニヤミンの地とヱルサレムの四周とユダの邑々と山の邑々と平地の邑々と南の方の邑々において銀をもて田野をかひ契劵を書きてこれに封印し又證人をたてんそは我かの俘囚者を歸らしむればなりとヱホバいひたまふ
