Jeremiah 16
1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
ヱホバの言また我にのぞみていふ
2 Thou shall not take to thee a wife, —Neither shalt thou have sons or daughters, in this place.
汝この處にて妻を娶るなかれ子女を得るなかれ
3 For, Thus, saith Yahweh, Concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are being born in this place, —and concerning their mothers who do bear them, and concerning their fathers who do beget them, in this land,
此處に生るる子女とこの地に之を生む母と之を生む父とに就てヱホバかくいひたまふ
4 Of deaths from diseases, shall they die, They shall not be lamented, Neither shall they be buried, As heaps of dung on the face of the ground, shall they serve, —Yea by sword and by famine, shall they be consumed, And, their dead bodies shall become, food—To the bird of the heavens, and To the beast of the earth.
彼らは慘しき病に死し哀まれず葬られずして糞土のごとくに田地の面にあらんまた劍と饑饉に滅されて其屍は天空の鳥と地の獸の食物とならん
5 For, Thus, saith Yahweh—Do not thou enter into the house of crying, Neither do thou go to lament, nor do thou bemoan for them, —For I have withdrawn my blessing from this people, Declareth Yahweh, Both lovingkindness and compassion.
ヱホバかくいひたまへり喪ある家にいる勿れまた往て之を哀み嗟く勿れそはわれ我平安と恩寵と矜恤をこの民より取ばなりとヱホバいひたまへり
6 So shall great and small die in this land, They shall not be buried, —Neither shall men lament for them Nor cut themselves, Nor make themselves bald for them;
大なる者も小さき者もこの地に死べし彼らは葬られずまた彼らのために哀む者なく自ら傷くる者なく髮をそる者なかるべし
7 Neither shall they break bread to them in mourning To console one over his dead, —Nor cause them to drink the cup of consolation, Over one’s father Or over one’s mother;
またその哀むときパンをさきて其死者のために之を慰むるものなく又父あるひは母のために慰藉の杯を彼らに飮しむる者なかるべし
8 And the house of banqueting, shall thou not enter To sit with them, To eat and to drink.
汝また筵宴の家にいりて偕に坐して食飮する勿れ
9 For, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Behold me! causing to cease out of this place, Before your eyes, And in your days, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, The voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride,
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ視よ汝の目の前汝の世に在るときにわれ欣喜の聲と歡樂の聲と新娶者の聲と新婦の聲とを此處に絕しめん
10 And it shall be when thou shalt declare to this people, all these words, —and they shall say unto thee—For what reason, hath Yahweh pronounced against us all this great calamity? Or what is our iniquity, or what our sin, which we have sinned against Yahweh our God?
汝このすべての言を斯民に告るとき彼ら汝に問ふてヱホバわれらを責てこの大なる災を示したまふは何故ぞやまたわれらに何の惡事あるやわが神ヱホバに背きてわれらのなせし罪は何ぞやといはば
11 Then shalt thou say unto them, —For that your fathers forsook, me, Declareth Yahweh, And walked after other gods, and served them, and bowed down to them, —Whereas me, they forsook And my law, kept they not;
汝かれらに答ふべしヱホバいひたまふ是汝らの先祖われを棄て他の神に從ひこれに奉へこれを拜しまた我をすてわが律法を守らざりしによる
12 And, ye, have done more wickedly than your fathers, —for look at you! walking every man after the stubbornness of his wicked heart, so as not to hearken unto me,
汝らは汝らの先祖よりも多く惡をなせりみよ汝らはおのおの自己の惡き心の剛愎なるにしたがひて我にきかず
13 Therefore will I hurl you forth, from off this land, unto a land which ye have not known, ye, nor your fathers, —and ye can serve there other gods day and night, in that I will grant you no favour.
故にわれ汝らを此の地より逐ひて汝らと汝らの先祖の識ざる地にいたらしめん汝らかしこにて晝夜ほかの神に奉へん是わが汝らを憐まざるによるなりと
14 Therefore lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, When it shall be said no more By the life of Yahweh, who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt; but—
ヱホバいひたまふ然ばみよ此後イスラエルの民をエジプトの地より導きいだせしヱホバは活くといふことなくして
15 By the life of Yahweh, who hath brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of the North, and out of all the lands whither he had driven them, —So will I bring them back upon their own soil, which I gave to their fathers.
イスラエルの民を北の地とそのすべて逐やられし地より導出せしヱホバは活くといふ日きたらん我かれらを我その先祖に與へしかれらの地に導きかへるべし
16 Behold me! sending for many fishers Declareth Yahweh, And they shall catch them, —and thereafter will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from off every mountain and from off every hill, and out of the clefts of the crags.
ヱホバいひたまふみよ我おほくの漁者をよび來りて彼らを漁らせまたその後おほくの獵者を呼來りて彼らを諸の山もろもろの岡および岩の穴より獵いださしめん
17 For mine own eyes are upon all their ways, they have not been hid from my face—neither hath their iniquity been concealed from being straight before mine eyes.
我目はかれらの諸の途を鑒る皆我にかくるるところなし又その惡は我目に匿れざるなり
18 Thus will I recompense, first, twofold, their iniquity and their sin, because of their profaning my land, —with the carcase of their disgusting and detestable things, have they filled mine inheritance.
われまづ倍して其惡とその罪に報いんそは彼らその汚れたる者の屍をもて我地を汚しその惡むべきものをもて我產業に充せばなり
19 O Yahweh, my strength, and my refuge, and my place to fly to, in the day of distress, —Unto thee, shall nations come in, out of the ends of the earth, that they may say—Surely! Falsehood, did our fathers inherit, Vanity, among whom is none that can profit:
ヱホバ我の力 我の城 難の時の逃場よ萬國の民は地の極より汝にきたりわれらの先祖の嗣るところの者は惟謊と虛浮事と益なき物のみなりといはん
20 Shall a son of earth, make for himself gods, Seeing that, they, are no-gods?
人豈神にあらざる者をおのれの神となすべけんや
21 Therefore behold me! causing them to know, by this stroke, I will cause them to know my hand and my might, —That they may know that my name, is Yahweh!
故にみよわれ此度かれらに知らしむるところあらん即ち我手と我能をかれらに知らしめん彼らは我名のヱホバなるを知るべし
