Jeremiah 6
1 “Strengthen yourselves, sons of Benjamin, From the midst of Jerusalem, And blow a horn in Tekoa, And lift up a flame over Beth-Haccerem, For evil has been seen from the north, And great destruction.
ベニヤミンの子等よヱルサレムの中より逃れテコアに箛をふきベテハケレムに合圖の火をあげよそは北より災と大なる敗壞のぞめばなり
2 I have cut off the lovely and delicate one, The daughter of Zion.
われ美しき窈窕なるシオンの女を滅さん
3 Shepherds and their droves come to her, They have struck tents by her all around, They have each fed [in] his own station.”
牧者は其群を牽て此處にきたりその周圍に天幕をはらん群はおのおのその處にて草を食はん
4 “Sanctify the battle against her, Rise, and we go up at noon. Woe to us, for the day has turned, For the shades of evening are stretched out,
汝ら戰端を開きて之を攻べし起よわれら日午にのぼらん嗚呼惜かな日ははや昃き夕日の影長くなれり
5 Rise, and we go up by night, And we destroy her palaces.”
起よわれら夜の間にのぼりてその諸の殿舍を毀たん
6 For thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Cut down her wood, And pour out a mound against Jerusalem, She [is] the city to be inspected, She [is] full of oppression in her midst.
萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまへり汝ら樹をきりヱルサレムに向ひて壘を築けこれは罰すべき邑なりその中には唯暴逆のみあり
7 As the digging of a well, is [for] its waters, So she has dug [for] her wickedness, Violence and spoil is heard in her, Sickness and striking [are] continually before My face.
源の水をいだすがごとく彼その惡を流すその中に暴逆と威虐きこゆ我前に憂と傷たえず
8 Be instructed, O Jerusalem, Lest My soul be alienated from you, Lest I make you a desolation, A land [that is] not inhabited.”
ヱルサレムよ汝訓戒をうけよ然らざれば我心汝をはなれ汝を荒蕪となし住む人なき地となさん
9 Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “They surely glean, as a vine, the remnant of Israel, Put your hand back, as a gatherer to the baskets.”
萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふ彼らは葡萄の遺餘を摘みとるごとくイスラエルの遺れる者を摘とらん汝葡萄を摘取者のごとく屢手を筐に入るべし
10 To whom do I speak, and testify, and they hear? Behold, their ear [is] uncircumcised, And they are not able to attend. Behold, a word of YHWH has been to them for a reproach, They do not delight in it.
我たれに語り誰を警めてきかしめんや視よその耳は割禮をうけざるによりて聽えず彼らはヱホバの言を嘲りこれを悦ばず
11 And I have been filled with the fury of YHWH (I have been weary of containing), “To pour [it] on the suckling in the street, And on the assembly of youths together, For even husband with wife are captured, [The] elderly with one full of days,
ヱホバの怒わが身に充つわれ忍ぶに倦むこれを衢街にある童子と集れる年少者とに泄すべし夫も婦も老たる者も年邁し者も執へらるるにいたらん
12 And their houses have been turned to others, Fields and wives together, For I stretch out My hand against the inhabitants of the land,” A declaration of YHWH.
その家と田地と妻はともに佗人にわたらん其はわれ手を擧てこの地に住る者を撃ばなりとヱホバいひたまふ
13 “For from their least to their greatest, Everyone is gaining dishonest gain, And from prophet even to priest, Everyone is dealing falsely,
夫彼らは少さき者より大なる者にいたるまで皆貪婪者なり又預言者より祭司にいたるまで皆詭詐をなす者なればなり
14 And they heal the breach of the daughter of My people slightly, Saying, Peace, peace! And there is no peace.
かれら淺く我民の女の傷を醫し平康からざる時に平康平康といへり
15 They were ashamed when they did abomination! Indeed, they are not at all ashamed, Indeed, they have not known blushing, Therefore they fall among those falling, In the time I have inspected them, They stumble,” said YHWH.
彼らは憎むべき事を爲て恥辱をうくれども毫も恥ずまた愧を知らずこの故に彼らは傾仆るる者と偕にたふれん我來るとき彼ら躓かんとヱホバいひたまふ
16 Thus said YHWH: “Stand by the ways and see, and ask for paths of old, Where [is] this—the good way? And go in it, And find rest for yourselves. And they say, We do not go.
ヱホバかくいひたまふ汝ら途に立て見古き徑に就て何か善道なるを尋ねて其途に行めさらば汝らの靈魂安を得ん然ど彼らこたへて我儕はそれに行まじといふ
17 And I have raised up watchmen for you, Attend to the voice of the horn. And they say, We do not attend.
我また汝らの上に守望者をたて箛の聲をきけといへり然ど彼等こたへて我儕は聞じといふ
18 Therefore hear, O nations, and know, O congregation, That which [is] on them.
故に萬國の民よきけ會衆よかれらの遇ところを知れ
19 Hear, O earth, behold, I am bringing evil on this people, The fruit of their plans, For they gave no attention to My words, And My law—they kick against it.
地よきけわれ災をこの民にくださんこは彼らの思の結ぶ果なりかれら我言とわが律法をきかずして之を棄るによる
20 Why [is] this to Me? Frankincense comes from Sheba, And the sweet cane from a far-off land, Your burnt-offerings [are] not for acceptance, And your sacrifices have not been sweet to Me.”
シバより我許に乳香きたり遠き國より菖蒲きたるは何のためぞやわれは汝らの燔祭をよろこばず汝らの犠牲を甘しとせず
21 Therefore, thus said YHWH: “Behold, I give stumbling blocks to this people, And fathers and sons have stumbled against them together, The neighbor and his friend perish.”
故にヱホバかくいひたまふみよ我この民の前に躓礙をおく父と子とそれに蹶き隣人とその友偕に滅ぶべし
22 Thus said YHWH: “Behold, a people has come from a north country, And a great nation is stirred up from the sides of the earth.
ヱホバかくいひたまふみよ民北の國よりきたる大なる民地の極より起る
23 They take hold of bow and javelin, It [is] fierce, and they have no mercy, Their voice sounds as a sea, And they ride on horses, Set in array as a man of war, Against you, O daughter of Zion.”
彼らは弓と槍をとる殘忍にして憫なしその聲は海の如く鳴るシオンの女よかれらは馬に乗り軍人のごとく身をよろひて汝を攻めん
24 We have heard its sound, our hands have been feeble, Distress has seized us, pain as of a travailing woman.
我儕その風聲をききたれば我儕の手弱り子をうむ婦のごとき苦痛と劬勞われらに迫る
25 Do not go forth to the field, And do not walk in the way, For the enemy has a sword, Fear [is] all around.
汝ら田地に出る勿れまた路に行むなかれ敵の劍と畏怖四方にあればなり
26 O daughter of my people, Gird on sackcloth, And roll yourself in ashes, Make mourning [as for] an only one, A most bitter lamentation, For the spoiler suddenly comes against us.
我民の女よ麻衣を身にまとひ灰のうちにまろび獨子を喪ひしごとくに哀みていたく哭けそは毀滅者突然に我らに來るべければなり
27 “I have given you a watchtower, A fortress among My people, And you know, and have tried their way.
われ汝を民のうちに立て金を驗る者のごとくなし又城のごとくなすこは汝をしてその途を知しめまた試みしめんためなり
28 All of them are turned aside by apostates, Walking slanderously—bronze and iron, All of them are corrupters.
彼らは皆いたく悖れる者なり歩行て人を謗る者なり彼らは銅のごとく鐵のごとし皆邪なる者なり
29 The bellows have been burned, The lead has been consumed by fire, A refiner has refined in vain, And the wicked have not been drawn away.
韛は火に焚け鉛はつき鎔匠はいたづらに鎔す惡者いまだ除かれざればなり
30 They have called them rejected silver, For YHWH has kicked against them!”
ヱホバ彼らを棄たまふによりて彼等は棄られたる銀と呼ばれん
