Jeremiah 4
1 If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, unto me shalt thou return: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not be removed;
ヱホバいひたまふイスラエルよ汝もし歸らば我に歸れ汝もし憎むべき者を我前より除かば流蕩はじ
2 and thou shalt swear, As the LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
かつ汝は眞實と正直と公義とをもてヱホバは活くと誓はんさらば萬國の民は彼によりて福祉をうけ彼によりて誇るべし
3 For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
ヱホバ、ユダとヱルサレムの人々にかくいひ給ふ汝等の新田を耕せ荊棘の中に種くなかれ。
4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury go forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
ユダの人々とヱルサレムに住める者よ汝等みづから割禮をおこなひてヱホバに屬きおのれの心の前の皮を去れ然らざれば汝等の惡行のためわが怒火の如くに發して燃えんこれを滅すものなかるべし
5 Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry aloud and say? Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the fenced cities.
汝等ユダに告げヱルサレムに示していへ箛を國の中に吹けとまた大聲に呼はりていへ汝等あつまれ我儕堅き邑にゆくべしと
6 Set up a standard toward Zion: flee for safety, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
シオンに指示す合圖の旗をたてよ逃よ留まる勿れそは我北より災とおほいなる敗壞をきたらすればなり
7 A lion is gone up from his thicket, and a destroyer of nations; he is on his way, he is gone forth from his place; to make thy land desolate, that thy cities be laid waste, without inhabitant.
獅子は其森よりいでて上り國々を滅すものは進みきたる彼汝の國を荒さんとて旣にその處よりいでたり汝の諸邑は滅されて住む者なきに至らん
8 For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.
この故に汝等麻の衣を身にまとひて悲み哭けそはヱホバの烈しき怒いまだ我儕を離れざればなり
9 And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
ヱホバいひたまひけるはその日王と牧伯等はその心をうしなひ祭司は驚き預言者は異むべし
10 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.
我いひけるは嗚呼主ヱホバよ汝はまことに此民とヱルサレムを大にあざむきたまふすなはち汝はなんぢら安かるべしと云給ひしに劍命にまでおよべり
11 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A hot wind from the bare heights in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse;
その時この民とヱルサレムにいふものあらん熱き風 曠野の童山よりわが民の女にふききたると此は簸るためにあらず潔むる爲にもあらざるなり
12 a full wind from these shall come for me: now will I also utter judgments against them.
これよりも猶はげしき風われより來らん今我かれらに鞫を示さん
13 Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots [shall be] as the whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled.
みよ彼は雲のごとく上りきたらん其車は颶風のごとくにしてその馬は鷹よりも疾し嗚呼われらは禍なるかな我儕滅さるべし
14 O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thine evil thoughts lodge within thee?
ヱルサレムよ汝の心の惡をあらひ潔めよ然ばすくはれん汝の惡き念いつまで汝のうちにあるや
15 For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth evil from the hills of Ephraim:
ダンより告ぐる聲ありエフライムの山より災を知するなり
16 make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, [that] watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.
汝ら國々の民に告げまたヱルサレムに知らせよ攻めかこむ者遠き國より來りユダの諸邑にむかひて其聲を揚ぐと
17 As keepers of a field are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD.
彼らは田圃をまもる者のごとくにこれを圍むこは我に從はざりしに由るとヱホバいひ給ふ
18 Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness; for it is bitter, for it reacheth unto thine heart.
汝の途と汝の行これを汝に招けりこれは汝の惡なり誠に苦くして汝の心におよぶ
19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart is disquieted in me; I cannot hold my peace; because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
嗚呼わが腸よ我腸よ痛苦心の底におよびわが心胸とどろくわれ默しがたし我靈魂よ汝箛の聲と軍の鬨をきくなり
20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, [and] my curtains in a moment.
敗滅に敗滅のしらせありこの地は皆荒されわが幕屋は頃刻にやぶられ我幕は忽ち破られたり
21 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
我が旗をみ箛の聲をきくは何時までぞや
22 For my people is foolish, they know me not; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
それ我民は愚にして我を識らず拙き子等にして曉ることなし彼らは惡を行ふに智けれども善を行ふことを知ず
23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was waste and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
われ地を見るに形なくして空くあり天を仰ぐに其處に光なし
24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved to and fro.
我山を見るに皆震へまた諸の丘も動けり
25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
我見に人あることなし天空の鳥も皆飛されり
26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, [and] before his fierce anger.
我みるに肥美なる地は沙漠となり且その諸の邑はヱホバの前にその烈しき怒の前に毀たれたり
27 For thus saith the LORD, The whole land shall be a desolation; yet will I not make a full end.
そはヱホバかくいひたまへりすべて此地は荒地とならんされど我ことごとくは之を滅さじ
28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and I have not repented, neither will I turn back from it.
故に地は皆哀しみ上なる天は暗くならん我すでに之をいひ且これを定めて悔いずまた之をなす事を止ざればなり
29 The whole city fleeth for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they go into the thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city is forsaken, and not a man dwelleth therein.
邑の人みな騎兵と射者の咄喊のために逃て叢林にいり又岩の上に升れり邑はみな棄られて其處に住む人なし
30 And thou, when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with scarlet, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou enlargest thine eyes with paint, in vain dost thou make thyself fair; [thy] lovers despise thee, they seek thy life.
滅されたる者よ汝何をなさんとするや設令汝くれなゐの衣をき金の飾物をもて身を粧ひ目をぬりて大くするとも汝が身を粧ふはいたづらなり汝の戀人らは汝をいやしめ汝のいのちを索るなり
31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that gaspeth for breath, that spreadeth her hands, [saying], Woe is me now! for my soul fainteth before the murderers.
われ子をうむ婦のごとき聲首子をうむ者の苦むがごとき聲を聞く是れシオンの女の聲なりかれ自ら歎き手をのべていふ嗚呼われは禍なるかな我靈魂殺す者のために疲れはてぬ
