Jeremiah 42
1 Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, came near,
茲に軍勢の長たちおよびカレヤの子ヨハナンとホシャヤの子ヱザニヤ並に民の至微者より至大者にいたるまで
2 and said to Jeremiah the prophet, "Please let our petition be presented before you, and pray for us to YHWH your God, even for all this remnant; for we are left but a few of many, as your eyes do see us:
皆預言者ヱレミヤの許に來りて言けるは汝の前に我らの求の受納られんことを願ふ請ふ我ら遺れる者の爲に汝の神ヱホバに祈れ(今汝の目に見がごとく我らは衆多の中の遺れる者にして寡なり)
3 that YHWH your God may show us the way in which we should walk, and the thing that we should do."
さらば汝の神ヱホバ我らの行むべき途となすべき事を示したまはん
4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, "I have heard you; look, I will pray to YHWH your God according to your words; and it shall happen that whatever thing YHWH shall answer you, I will declare it to you; I will keep nothing back from you."
預言者ヱレミヤ彼らに云けるは我汝らに聽り汝らの言に循ひて汝らの神ヱホバに祈らん凡そヱホバが汝らに應へたまふことはわれ隱す所なく汝らに告べし
5 Then they said to Jeremiah, "YHWH be a true and faithful witness among us, if we do not do according to all the word with which YHWH your God shall send you to us.
彼らヱレミヤにいひけるは願くはヱホバ我儕の間にありて眞實なる信ずべき證者となりたまへ我らは汝の神ヱホバの汝を遣して我らに告しめたまふ諸の事に遵ひて行ふべし
6 Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of YHWH our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of YHWH our God."
我らは善にまれ惡きにまれ我らが汝を遣すところの我らの神ヱホバの聲に遵はん斯我らの神ヱホバの聲に遵ひてわれら福をうけん
7 It happened after ten days, that the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah.
十日の後ヱホバの言ヱレミヤにのぞみしかば
8 Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
ヱレミヤ、カレヤの子ヨハナンおよび彼と偕に在る軍勢の長たち並に民の至微者より至大者までを悉く招きて
9 and said to them, "Thus says YHWH, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your petition before him:
これにいひけるは汝らが我を遣して汝らの祈を献げしめしところのイスラエルの神ヱホバかくいひ給ふ
10 'If you will still live in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I grieve over the distress that I have brought on you.
汝らもし信に此地に留らばわれ汝らを建てて倒さず汝らを植て拔じそは我汝らに災を降せしを悔ればなり
11 Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid; do not be afraid of him, says YHWH: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
ヱホバいひたまふ汝らが畏るるところのバビロンの王を畏るる勿れ彼をおそるる勿れわれ汝らとともにありて汝らを救ひ彼の手より汝らを拯ふべし
12 I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy on you, and cause you to return to your own land.'
われ汝らを恤みまた彼をして汝らを恤ませ汝らを故土に歸らしめん
13 But if you say, 'We will not dwell in this land'; so that you do not obey the voice of YHWH your God,
然ど汝らもし我らはこの地に留らじ汝らの神ヱホバの聲に遵はじと言ひ
14 saying, 'No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell':
また然りわれらはかの戰爭を見ず箛の聲をきかず食物に乏しからざるエジプトの地にいたりて彼處に住はんといはば
15 now therefore hear the word of YHWH, O remnant of Judah: Thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel, 'If you indeed set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to live there;
汝らユダの遺れる者よヱホバの言をきけ萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ汝らもし強てエジプトにゆきて彼處に住はば
16 then it shall happen, that the sword, which you fear, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, about which you are afraid, shall follow close behind you there in Egypt; and there you shall die.
汝らが懼るるところの劍エジプトの地にて汝らに臨み汝らが恐るるところの饑饉エジプトにて汝らにおよばん而して汝らは彼處に死べし
17 So shall it be with all the men who set their faces to go into Egypt to live there: they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring on them.'
凡そエジプトにおもむき至りて彼處に住はんとする人々は劍と饑饉と疫病に死べしその中には我彼らに降さんところの災を脱れて遺る者無るべし
18 For thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel: 'As my anger and my wrath has been poured forth on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall my wrath be poured forth on you, when you shall enter into Egypt; and you shall be an object of horror, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and you shall see this place no more.'
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ我震怒と憤恨のヱルサレムに住る者に注ぎし如くわが憤恨汝らがエジプトにいらん時に汝らに注がん汝らは呪詛となり詫異となり罵詈となり凌辱とならん汝らは再びこの處を見ざるべしと
19 YHWH has spoken concerning you, remnant of Judah, 'Do not go into Egypt': know certainly that I have testified to you this day.
ユダの遺れる者よヱホバ汝らにつきていひたまへり汝らエジプトにゆく勿れと汝ら今日わが汝らを警めしことを確に知れ
20 For you have dealt deceitfully against your own souls; for you sent me to YHWH your God, saying, 'Pray for us to YHWH our God; and according to all that YHWH our God shall say, so declare to us, and we will do it':
汝ら我を汝らの神ヱホバに遣して言へり我らの爲に我らの神ヱホバに祈り我らの神ヱホバの汝に示したまふ事をことごとく我らに告よ我ら之を行はんと斯なんぢら自ら欺けり
21 and I have this day declared it to you; but you have not obeyed the voice of YHWH your God in anything for which he has sent me to you.
われ今日汝らに告たれど汝らは汝らの神ヱホバの聲に遵はず汝らはヱホバが我を遣して命ぜしめたまひし事には都て遵はざりき
22 Now therefore know certainly that you shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place where you desire to go to live there."
然ば汝らはその往て住んとねがふ處にて劍と饑饉と疫病に死ることを今確に知るべし
