Jeremiah 7
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云ふ
2 “Stand in the gate of the house of YHWH, and you have proclaimed this word there, and have said, Hear a word of YHWH, all you of Judah, who are coming in at these gates, to bow before YHWH.”
汝ヱホバの室の門にたち其處にてこの言を宣て言へヱホバを拜まんとてこの門にいりしユダのすべての人よヱホバの言をきけ
3 Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Amend your ways, and your doings, And I cause you to dwell in this place.
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひ給ふ汝らの途と汝らの行を改めよさらばわれ汝等をこの地に住しめん
4 Do not trust for yourselves To the words of falsehood, saying, The temple of YHWH! The temple of YHWH! These [are] the temple of YHWH!
汝ら是はヱホバの殿なりヱホバの殿なりヱホバの殿なりと云ふ僞の言をたのむ勿れ
5 For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, If you thoroughly do judgment Between a man and his neighbor,
汝らもし全くその途と行を改め人と人との間を正しく鞫き
6 You do not oppress sojourner, fatherless, and widow, And innocent blood is not shed in this place, And [you] do not walk after other gods, for evil to yourselves,
異邦人と孤兒と寡を虐げず無辜者の血をこの處に流さず他の神に從ひて害をまねかずば
7 Then I have caused you to dwell in this place, In the land that I gave to your fathers, From age even to age.
我なんぢらを我汝等の先祖にあたへしこの地に永遠より永遠にいたるまで住しむべし
8 Behold, you are trusting for yourselves On the words of falsehood, so as not to profit.
みよ汝らは益なき僞の言を賴む
9 Stealing, murdering, and committing adultery, And swearing to falsehood, and giving incense to Ba‘al, And going after other gods whom you did not know.
汝等は盜み殺し姦淫し妄りて誓ひバアルに香を焚き汝らがしらざる他の神にしたがふなれど
10 And you have come in and stood before Me, In this house on which My Name is called, And have said, We have been delivered, In order to do all these abominations.
我名をもて稱へらるるこの室にきたりて我前にたち我らはこれらの憎むべきことを行ふとも救はるるなりといふは何にぞや
11 Has this house, On which My Name is called, Been a den of burglars in your eyes? Even I, behold, have seen,” A declaration of YHWH.
わが名をもて稱へらるる此室は汝らの目には盜賊の巢と見ゆるや我も之をみたりとヱホバいひたまふ
12 “But go now to My place that [is] in Shiloh, Where I caused My Name to dwell at first, And see that which I have done to it, For the wickedess of My people Israel.
汝等わが初シロに於て我名を置し處にゆき我がイスラエルの民の惡のために其處になせしところのことをみよ
13 And now, because of your doing all these works,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I speak to you, rising early and speaking, And you have not listened, And I call you, and you have not answered,
ヱホバいひたまふ今汝ら此等のすべての事をなす又われ汝らに語り頻にかたりたれども聽かず汝らを呼びたれども答へざりき
14 I also have done to the house on which My Name is called, In which you are trusting, And to the place that I gave to you, and to your fathers, As I have done to Shiloh.
この故に我シロになせしごとく我名をもて稱へらるる此室になさんすなはち汝等が賴むところ我汝らと汝らの先祖にあたへし此處になすべし
15 And I have cast you from before My face, As I have cast out all your brothers, The whole seed of Ephraim.
またわれ汝等のすべての兄弟すなはちエフライムのすべての裔を棄てしごとく我前より汝らをも棄つべし
16 And you do not pray for this people, Nor lift up crying and prayer for them, Nor intercede with Me, for I do not hear you.
故に汝この民のために祈る勿れ彼らの爲に歎くなかれ求むるなかれ又我にとりなしをなす勿れわれ汝にきかじ
17 Are you not seeing what they are doing In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem?
汝かれらがユダの邑とヱルサレムの街になすところを見ざるか
18 The sons are gathering wood, And the fathers are causing the fire to burn, And the women are kneading dough, To make cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out drink-offerings to other gods, So as to provoke Me to anger.
諸子は薪を拾め父は火を燃き婦は麺を搏ねパンをつくりて之を天后にそなふ又かれら他の神の前に酒をそそぎて我を怒らす
19 Are they provoking Me to anger?” A declaration of YHWH, “Is it not themselves, For the shame of their own faces?”
ヱホバいひたまふ彼ら我を怒らするか是れおのが面を辱むるにあらずや
20 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “Behold, My anger and My fury is poured out on this place, On man, and beast, and on tree of the field, And on fruit of the ground, And it has burned, and it is not quenched.”
是故に主ヱホバかくいひたまふ視よわが震怒とわが憤怒はこの處と人と獸と野の樹および地の果にそそがん且燃て滅ざるべし
21 Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Add your burnt-offerings to your sacrifices and eat flesh.
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ汝らの犠牲に燔祭の物をあはせて肉をくらへ
22 For I did not speak with your fathers, Nor did I command them in the day of My bringing them out of the land of Egypt, Concerning the matters of burnt-offering and sacrifice,
そはわれ汝等の先祖をエジプトより導きいだせし日に燔祭と犠牲とに就てかたりしことなく又命ぜしことなし
23 But this thing I commanded them, saying, Listen to My voice, And I have been to you for God, And you are to Me for a people, And have walked in all the way that I command you, So that it is well for you.
惟われこの事を彼等に命じ汝ら我聲を聽ばわれ汝らの神となり汝ら我民とならん且わが汝らに命ぜしすべての道を行みて福祉をうべしといへり
24 And they have not listened, nor inclined their ear, And they walk in the counsels, [And] in the stubbornness, of their evil hearts, And are backward and not forward.
されど彼らはきかず其耳を傾けずおのれの惡き心の謀と剛愎なるとにしたがひて行みまた後を我にむけて其面を向けざりき
25 Even from the day when your fathers Went out of the land of Egypt until this day, I send all My servants the prophets to you, Daily rising early and sending,
汝らの先祖がエジプトの地をいでし日より今日にいたるまでわれ我僕なる預言者を汝らにつかはし日々晨より之をつかはせり
26 And they have not listened to Me, Nor inclined their ear—and they harden their neck, They have done evil above their fathers.
されど彼らは我にきかず耳を傾けずして其項を強くしその列祖よりも愈りて惡をなすなり
27 And you have spoken all these words to them, And they do not listen to you, And you have called to them, And they do not answer you.
汝彼らに此等のすべてのことばを語るとも汝にきかずかれらを呼ぶとも汝にこたへざるべし
28 And you have said to them: This [is] the nation that has not listened, To the voice of its God YHWH, Nor have they accepted instruction, Steadfastness has perished, Indeed, it has been cut off from their mouth.
汝かく彼らに語れこれは其神ヱホバの聲を聽ずその訓を受ざる民なり眞實はうせてその口に絕たり
29 Cut off your crown, and cast [it] away, And lift up lamentation on high places, For YHWH has rejected, And He leaves the generation of His wrath.
(シオンの女よ)汝の髮を剃りてこれを棄て山の上に哀哭の聲をあげよヱホバその怒るところの世の人をすててこれを離れたまへばなり
30 For the sons of Judah Have done evil in My eyes,” A declaration of YHWH, “They have set their abominations in the house On which My Name is called—to defile it,
ヱホバいひたまふユダの民は我前に惡を行へり即ちその憎むべき者を我名をもて稱へらるる室に置てこれを汚せり
31 And have built the high places of Tophet, That [are] in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, To burn their sons and their daughters with fire, Which I did not command, Nor did it come up on My heart.
又ベンヒンノムの谷に於てトペテの崇邱を築きてその子女を火に焚かんとせり我これを命ぜずまた斯ることを思はざりし
32 Therefore, behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And it is no longer said, The Tophet, And, Valley of the Son of Hinnom, But, Valley of the Slaughter, And they have buried in Tophet—without place.
ヱホバいひたまふ然ば視よ此處をトペテまたはベンヒンノムの谷と稱へずして殺戮の谷と稱ふる日きたらん其は葬るべき地所なきまでにトペテに葬るべければなり
33 And the carcass of this people has been for food To a bird of the heavens, and to a beast of the earth, And there is none troubling.
この民の屍は天空の鳥と地の獸の食物とならんこれを逐ふものなかるべし
34 And I have caused to cease from cities of Judah, And from streets of Jerusalem, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, For the land becomes a desolation!”
その時われユダの邑とヱルサレムの街に欣喜の聲 歡樂の聲 新婿の聲 新婦の聲なからしむべしこの地荒蕪ればなり
