Jeremiah 13
1 Thus says Jehovah to me, "Go, and buy yourself a linen belt, and put it on your waist, and do not put it in water."
ヱホバかくいひたまへり汝ゆきて麻の帶をかひ汝の腰にむすべ水に入る勿れ
2 So I bought a belt according to the word of Jehovah, and put it on my waist.
われすなはちヱホバの言に遵ひ帶をかひてわが腰にむすべり
3 The word of Jehovah came to me the second time, saying,
ヱホバの言ふたたび我にのぞみて云ふ
4 "Take the belt that you have bought, which is on your waist, and arise, go to the Perath, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock."
汝が買て腰にむすべる帶を取り起てユフラテにゆき彼處にてこれを磐の穴にかくせと
5 So I went, and hid it by the Perath, as Jehovah commanded me.
ここに於てわれヱホバの命じたまひし如く往てこれをユフラテの涯にかくせり
6 It happened after many days, that Jehovah said to me, "Arise, go to the Perath, and take the belt from there, which I commanded you to hide there."
おほくの日を經しのちヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは起てユフラテにゆきわが汝に命じて彼處にかくさしめし帶を取れと
7 Then I went to the Perath, and dug, and took the belt from the place where I had hidden it; and look, the belt was marred, it was profitable for nothing.
われすなはちユフラテにゆき帶を我隱せしところより掘取りしにその帶は朽て用ふるにたへず
8 Then the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
またヱホバの言われにのぞみて云ふ
9 "Thus says Jehovah, 'In this way I will mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
ヱホバかくいふ我かくの如くユダの驕傲とヱルサレムの大なる驕傲をやぶらん
10 This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and are gone after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this belt, which is profitable for nothing.
この惡き民はわが言を聽ことをこばみ己の心の剛愎なるにしたがひて行み且他の神に從ひてこれにつかへ之を拜す彼等は此帶の用ふるにたへざるが如くなるべし
11 For as the belt clings to the waist of a man, so have I caused to cling to me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah,' says Jehovah; 'that they might be my people, for a name, for praise, and for glory. But they would not listen.
ヱホバいふ帶の人の腰に附がごとくわれイスラエルのすべての家とユダのすべての家を我に附しめ之を我民となし名となし譽となし榮となさんとせり然るに彼等はきかざりき
12 Therefore you shall speak to them this word: 'Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, "Every jar shall be filled with wine."' And if they shall say to you, 'Do we not certainly know that every jar shall be filled with wine?'
故に汝この言を彼らに語るべしイスラエルの神ヱホバかくいふ酒壺には皆酒盈つと彼汝にこたへていはん我儕豈酒壺に酒の盈ることを知ざらんやと
13 Then you shall tell them, 'Thus says Jehovah, "Look, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings who sit on David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
其時汝かれらにいふべしヱホバかくいふみよわれ此地に住るすべての者とダビデの位に坐する王等と祭司と預言者およびヱルサレムに住るすべての者に醉を盈せ
14 I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, says Jehovah. I will not pity, nor spare, nor have compassion, that I should not destroy them."'"
彼らを此と彼と打あはせて碎かん父と子をも然すべしわれ彼らを恤まず惜まず憐まずして滅さん
15 "Hear, and give ear; do not be proud; for Jehovah has spoken.
汝らきけ耳を傾けよ驕る勿れヱホバかたりたまふなり
16 Give glory to Jehovah your God, before he causes darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and, while you look for light, he turns it into the shadow of death, and makes it gross darkness.
汝らの神ヱホバに其いまだ暗を起したまはざる先汝らの足のくらき山に躓かざる先に榮光を皈すべし汝ら光明を望まんにヱホバ之を死の蔭に變へ之を昏黑となしたまふにいたらん
17 But if you will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret for your pride; and my eye shall weep bitterly, and run down with tears, because Jehovah's flock is taken captive."
汝ら若これを聽ずば我靈魂は汝らの驕を隱なるところに悲まん又ヱホバの群の掠めらるるによりて我目いたく泣て涙をながすべし
18 "Say to the king and to the queen mother, 'Take a lowly seat, for your glorious crowns have come down from your heads.
なんぢ王と大后につげよ汝ら自ら謙りて坐せそはなんぢらの美しき冕汝らの首より落べければなり
19 The cities toward the Negev are shut, and there is no one to open them: Judah is carried away into exile, all of it; it is wholly carried away into exile.'"
南の諸邑は閉てこれを啓く人なしユダは皆擄移され盡くとらへ移さる
20 "Lift up your eyes, and see those who come from the north: where is the flock that was given you, your beautiful flock?
汝ら目を擧げて北より來る者をみよ汝らが賜はりし群汝のうるはしき群はいづこにあるや
21 What will you say, when he shall set over you as head those whom you have yourself taught to be friends to you? Shall not sorrows take hold of you, as of a woman in travail?
かれ汝の親み馴たる者を汝の上にたてて首領となさんとき汝何のいふべきことあらんや汝の痛は子をうむ婦のごとくならざらんや
22 If you say in your heart, 'Why are these things come on me?' for the greatness of your iniquity are your skirts uncovered, and your heels suffer violence.
汝心のうちに何故にこの事我にきたるやといふか汝の罪の重によりて汝の裾は掲げられなんぢの踵はあらはさるるなり
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then may you also do good, who are accustomed to do evil.
エテオピア人その膚をかへうるか豹その斑駁をかへうるか若これを爲しえば惡に慣たる汝らも善をなし得べし
24 'therefore I will scatter them, as the stubble that passes away, by the wind of the wilderness.
故にわれ彼らを散して野の風に吹散さるる皮壳のごとくせん
25 This is your lot, the portion measured to you from me,' says Jehovah; 'because you have forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
ヱホバいひたまふこは汝の得べき分わが量て汝にあたふる產業なり汝我をわすれて虛假を依賴ばなり
26 therefore I will also uncover your skirts on your face, and your shame shall appear.
故にわれ汝の前の裳を剥ぎて汝の羞恥をあらはさん
27 I have seen your abominations, even your adulteries, and your neighing, the lewdness of your prostitution, on the hills in the field. Woe to you, Jerusalem. You will not be made clean; how long shall it yet be?'"
われ汝の姦淫と汝の嘶と汝が岡のうへと野になせし汝の亂淫の罪と汝の憎むべき行をみたりヱルサレムよ汝は禍なるかな汝の潔くせらるるには尚いくばくの時を經べきや
