Jeremiah 51
1 Thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am stirring up against Babylon, And the inhabitants of Leb, My withstanders, 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 have sent fanners to Babylon, And they have fanned her, and they empty her land, For they have been against her, All around—in the day of evil.
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 Do not let the treader tread his bow, Nor lift himself up in his coat of mail, Nor have pity on her young men, Devote all her host to destruction.
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 wounded have fallen in the land of the Chaldeans, And the 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 Israel and Judah are not forsaken By his God—by YHWH of Hosts, For their land has been full of guilt, 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 from the midst of Babylon, And let each deliver his soul, Do not be cut off in her iniquity, For it [is] a time of vengeance for YHWH—His, He is rendering repayment to 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 Babylon [is] a golden cup in the hand of YHWH, Making all the earth drunk, Nations have drunk of her wine, Therefore nations boast themselves.
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 Babylon has suddenly fallen, Indeed, she is broken, howl for her, Take balm for her pain, 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 healed Babylon, and she was not healed, Forsake her, and we go, each to his land, For her judgment has come to the heavens, And it has been lifted up to the clouds.
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 YHWH has brought forth our righteousnesses, Come, and we recount in Zion the work of our God YHWH.
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 Cleanse the arrows, fill the shields, YHWH has stirred up the spirit of the kings of Media, For His purpose [is] against Babylon to destroy her, For it [is] the vengeance of YHWH, The vengeance of 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 Lift up an ensign to the walls of Babylon, Strengthen the watch, Establish the watchers, prepare the ambush, For YHWH has both devised and done that which He spoke, Concerning 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 dweller on many waters, abundant in treasures, Your end has come—the measure of your dishonest gain.
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 YHWH of Hosts has sworn by Himself, That, Surely I have filled you [with] men as the cankerworm, And they have cried against you—shouting.
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 Making [the] earth by His power, Establishing [the] world by His wisdom, Who by His understanding 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 voice He gives forth, A multitude of waters [are] in the heavens, And He causes vapors to come up from the end of the earth, He has made lightnings for rain, And He brings out wind from 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 Every man has been brutish by knowledge, Everyone has been put to shame—from refining a carved image, For his molten image [is] falsehood, And there is no breath in them.
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—a work of errors, They perish in the time of their inspection.
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 The Portion of Jacob [is] not like these, For He is forming the whole, And [Israel is] the tribe of His inheritance, YHWH 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 You [are] My shatterer—weapons of war, And I have broken in pieces nations by you, And I have destroyed kingdoms by you,
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 have broken in pieces horse and its rider by you, And I have broken in pieces chariot and its charioteer by you,
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 have broken in pieces man and woman by you, And I have broken in pieces old and young by you, And I have broken in pieces young man and virgin by you,
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 have broken in pieces shepherd and his drove by you, And I have broken in pieces farmer and his team by you, And I have broken in pieces governors and prefects by you.
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 And I have repaid to Babylon, And to all inhabitants of Chaldea, All the evil that they have done in Zion, Before your eyes,” a declaration of YHWH.
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 you, O destroying mountain,” A declaration of YHWH, “That is destroying all the earth, And I have stretched out My hand against you, And I have rolled you from the rocks, And given you for 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 do not take out of you a stone for a corner, And a stone for foundations, For you are continuous desolations,” A declaration of YHWH.
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 up an ensign in the land, Blow a horn among nations, Sanctify nations against it, Summon against it the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz, Appoint an infant head against it, Cause the horse to ascend as the rough cankerworm.
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 Sanctify against it the nations with the kings of Media, Its governors and all its prefects, And all the land of its 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 land shakes, and it is pained, For the purposes of YHWH have stood against Babylon, To make the land of Babylon a desolation without 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 of Babylon have ceased to fight, They have remained in strongholds, Their might has failed, they have become [as] women, They have burned her dwelling places, Her bars have been 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 Runner runs to meet runner, And announcer to meet announcer, To announce to the king of Babylon, For his city has been captured—at the extremity.
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 the passages have been captured, And they have burned the reeds with fire, And the men of war have been troubled.
渡口は取られ沼は燒れ兵卒は怖るといはん
33 For thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon [is] as a threshing-floor, The time of her threshing—yet a little [while], And the time of her harvest has come.
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 Devoured us, crushed us, has Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, He has set us [as] an empty vessel, He has swallowed us as a dragon, He has filled his belly with my delicacies, He has driven us away.
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 My wrong, and [that of] my flesh, [is] on Babylon—The inhabitant of Zion says; And my blood [is] on the inhabitants of Chaldea—Jerusalem says.
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 said YHWH: Behold, I am pleading your cause, And I have avenged your vengeance, And dried up her sea, and made her fountains dry.
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 has been for heaps, A habitation of dragons, An astonishment, and a hissing, without 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 They roar together as young lions, They have shaken themselves as 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 In their heat I make their banquets, And I have caused them to drink, so that they exult, And have slept a continuous sleep, And do not awaken,” a declaration of YHWH.
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 cause them to go down as lambs to slaughter, As rams with male 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 Sheshach has been captured, Indeed, the praise of the whole earth is caught, How Babylon has been for an astonishment among 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 has come up over Babylon, She has been covered with a multitude of its billows.
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 have been for a desolation, A dry land, and a wilderness, A land—none dwell in them, Nor does a son of man pass over into them.
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 have seen after Bel in Babylon, And I have brought forth that which he swallowed—from his mouth, And nations no longer flow to him, Also the wall of Babylon has 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 forth from her midst, O My people, And let each deliver his soul, Because of the fierceness of the anger of YHWH,
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 lest your heart be tender, And you are afraid of the report that is heard in the land, And the report has come in [one] year, And after it [another] report in [another] year, And violence [is] in the land, 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, And I have seen after the carved images of Babylon. And all its land is ashamed, And all its pierced ones fall in its midst.
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 heavens and earth and all that [is] in them Have cried aloud against Babylon, For the spoilers come to her from the north,” A declaration of YHWH.
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 “As Babylon [has caused the] pierced of Israel to fall, So they of Babylon have fallen, You pierced of all the earth.
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 You escaped of the sword, go on, do not stand, Remember YHWH from afar, And let Jerusalem come up on 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 have been ashamed, for we heard reproach, Shame has covered our faces, For strangers have come in against the sanctuaries of the house of YHWH.
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,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I have seen after her carved images, And the wounded groan in all her land.
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 Because Babylon goes up to the heavens, And because she fortifies the high place of her strength, Spoilers come into her from Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
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 voice of a cry [is] from Babylon, And of great destruction from the land of the Chaldean.
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 For YHWH is spoiling Babylon, And has destroyed her great voice, And her billows have sounded as many waters, Their voice has given forth a noise.
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 For a spoiler has come in against her—against Babylon, And her mighty ones have been captured, Their bows have been broken, For the God of recompenses—YHWH—certainly repays.
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 have caused her princes to drink, And her wise men, her governors, And her prefects, and her mighty ones, And they have slept a continuous sleep, And they do not awaken—an affirmation of the King, YHWH 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 said YHWH of Hosts: The wall of Babylon—The broad one—is made utterly bare, And her high gates are burned with fire, And peoples labor in vain, And nations in fire, and have been weary!”
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 that Jeremiah the prophet has commanded Seraiah son of Neriah, son of Maaseiah, in his going with Zedekiah king of Judah to Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign—and Seraiah [is] a quiet prince;
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 writes all the calamity that comes to Babylon on one scroll—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 says to Seraiah, “When you enter Babylon, then you have seen, and have 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 have said: YHWH, You have spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that there is none dwelling in it, from man even to livestock, for it is a continuous desolation.
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 has come to pass, when you finish reading this scroll, you bind a stone to it, and have cast 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 said, Thus Babylon sinks, and she does not arise, because of the calamity that I am bringing in against it, and they have been weary.” Until now [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
