Jeremiah 22
1 Thus, said Yahweh, Go thou down to the house of king of Judah, and speak thou there this word,
ヱホバかくいひたまへり汝ユダの王の室にくだり彼處にこの言をのべていへ
2 and say—Hear thou the word of Yahweh O king of Judah who sittest upon the throne of David, —thou, and thy servants and thy people who enter in at these gates,
ダビデの位に坐するユダの王よ汝と汝の臣および此門よりいる汝の民ヱホバの言をきけ
3 Thus, saith Yahweh, —Execute ye justice, and righteousness, And deliver the robbed out of the hand of the oppressor, —But the sojourner the fatherless, and the widow, do not oppress neither commit violence, And the blood of the innocent, do not ye shed, in this place.
ヱホバかくいふ汝ら公道と公義を行ひ物を奪はるる人をその暴虐者の手より救ひ異邦人と孤子と嫠婦をなやまし虐ぐる勿れまた此處に無辜の血を流す勿れ
4 For if ye, indeed do, this thing, then shall there enter into the gates of this house—kings, sitting for David upon his throne riding in chariots and on horses, he and his servants, and his people.
汝らもし此言を眞に行はばダビデの位に坐する王とその臣および其民は車と馬に乗てこの室の門にいることをえん
5 But if ye will not hear these words, By myself have I sworn Declareth Yahweh—That, a ruin, shall this house become.
然ど汝らもし此言を聽ずばわれ自己を指して誓ふ此室は荒地となるべしとヱホバいひたまふ
6 For Thus, saith Yahweh Concerning the house of the king of Judah, —Though thou wast Gilead, to me, The summit of Lebanon, Yet surely I will make thee, A wilderness, Cities, not habitable;
ヱホバ、ユダの王の家につきてかく曰たまふ汝は我におけることギレアデのごとくレバノンの巓のごとし然どわれかならず汝を荒野となし人の住はざる邑となさん
7 And I will hallow against thee Destroyers Every man with his weapons, —And they shall cut down of the choicest of thy cedars, and cast upon the fire.
われ破壞者をまふけて汝を攻めしめん彼ら各人その武器を執り汝の美しき香柏を斫てこれを火に投いれん
8 Then shall many nations pass by this city, —and shall say, every man to his neighbour, For what cause, hath Yahweh done thus, unto this great city?
多の國の人此邑をすぎ互に語てヱホバ何なれば此大なる邑にかく爲せしやといはんに
9 And they shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of Yahweh, their God, —And bowed down to other gods And served them.
人こたへて是は彼等其神ヱホバの契約をすてて他の神を拜し之に奉へしに由なりといはん
10 Do not ye lament for him that is dead Neither bemoan ye, him, But weep ye—weep on—for him that is going away, For he shall not return any more Nor see the land of his birth.
死者の爲に泣くことなくまた之が爲に嗟くこと勿れ寧擄へ移されし者の爲にいたく嗟くべし彼は再び歸てその故園を見ざるべければなり
11 For Thus, saith Yahweh—Touching Shallum, son of Josiah king of Judah, That reigneth instead of Josiah his father, Who hath gone forth out of this place, He shall not return thither any more;
ユダの王ヨシヤの子シヤルム即ちその父に繼で王となりて遂に此處をいでたる者につきてヱホバかくいひたまへり彼は再び此處に歸らじ
12 For in the place whither they have taken him captive, There, shall he die, —And this land, shall he see no more.
彼はその移されし處に死んふたたび此地を見ざるべし
13 Alas! for him who buildeth his house without righteousness, And his roof-chambers without justice, —Of his neighbour, taketh service for nought, And recompense for his work, giveth him not.
不義をもて其室をつくり不法をもて其樓を造り其隣人を傭て何をも與へず其價を拂はざる者は禍なるかな
14 Who saith—I will build me a roomy house, with spacious roof-chambers, —So he cutteth him open its windows, And it is covered in with cedar, And he painteth it with vermilion.
彼いふ我己の爲に廣厦と涼しき樓をつくり又己の爲に窓を造り香柏をもて之を蔽ひ赤く之を塗んと
15 Shalt thou reign, because, thou, art eager to excel in cedar? Thy father, did he not eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness, And, then, it was well with him?
汝香柏を爭ひもちふるによりて王たるを得るか汝の父は食飮せざりしや公義と公道を行ひて福を得ざりしや
16 [Did he not] plead the cause of the oppressed and the needy, And, then, it was well? Was not, that, to know, me? Demandeth Yahweh.
彼は貧者と患艱者の訟を理して祥をえたりかく爲すは我を識ことに非ずやとヱホバいひ給ふ
17 Verily thou hast neither eyes nor heart, save for thy plundering and for thy shedding of innocent blood, and for oppression and for crushing to do them!
然ど汝の目と心は惟貪をなさんとし無辜の血を流さんとし虐遇と暴逆をなさんとするのみ
18 Therefore—Thus, saith Yahweh, Touching Jehoiakim son of Josiah King of Judah, They shall not cry in lament for him Alas my brother! or Alas sister! They shall not cry in lament for him Alas lord! or Alas! his renown!
故にヱホバ、ユダの王のヨシヤの子ヱホヤキムにつきてかく曰たまふ衆人は哀しいかな我兄かなしいかな我姊といひて嗟かず又哀しいかな主よ哀しいかな其榮と曰て嗟かじ
19 With the burial of an ass, shall he be buried, Dragged along and cast forth, beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
彼は驢馬を埋るがごとく埋られん即ち曳れてヱルサレムの門の外に投棄らるべし
20 Ascend the Lebanon and make outcry, And in Bashan, put forth thy voice, —And make outcry from Abarim, For all thy lovers are torn in pieces.
汝レバノンに登りて呼ばはりバシヤンに汝の聲を揚げアバリムより呼はれ其は汝の愛する者悉く滅されたればなり
21 I spake unto thee, in thy carelessness, —Thou saidst I will not hearken! This hath been thy way from thy youth, That thou hast not hearkened to my voice.
汝の平康なる時我汝に語しかども汝は我にきかじといへり汝いとけなき時よりわが聲を聽ずこれ汝の故習なり
22 All thy shepherds, the wind shall feed, And, thy lovers into captivity, shall depart, —Surely, then shalt thou turn pale and be confounded, by reason of all thy wickedness.
汝の牧者はみな風に呑つくされ汝の愛する者はとらへ移されん其時汝はおのれの諸の惡のために痛く恥べし
23 O inhabitress of Lebanon that makest thy nest in the cedars, —How hast thou bemoaned thyself Now that pangs have overtaken thee, Anguish, as of her that giveth birth.
汝レバノンにすみ巢を香柏につくる者よ汝の劬勞子を產む婦の痛苦のごとくにきたらんとき汝の哀慘はいかにぞや
24 As I live, Declareth Yahweh, —Even though Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet-ring upon my right hand, yet, from thence, would I pull thee off;
ヱホバいひたまふ我は活くユダの王ヱホヤキムの子ヱコニヤは我右の手の指環なれども我これを拔ん
25 and I would give thee into the hand of them who seek thy life and into the hand of them from the face of whom, thou dost shrink in fear, —even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and into the hand of the Chaldeans;
われ汝の生命を索る者の手および汝が其面を畏るる者の手すなはちバビロンの王ネブカデネザルの手とカルデヤ人の手に汝を付さん
26 and I will hurl thee out and thy mother who bare thee, upon another land where ye were not born, —and, there, shall ye die.
われ汝と汝を生し母を汝等がうまれざりし他の地に逐やらん汝ら彼處に死べし
27 But unto the land whither they shall be lifting up their souls to return, thither, shall they not return.
彼らの靈魂のいたく歸らんことを願ふところの地に彼らは歸ることをえず
28 An earthen vessel to be despised thrown about, is this man Coniah? Or an instrument, in which is no pleasure? Wherefore are they to be cast out, he and his seed, and to be thrown forth upon a land which they have not known?
この人ヱコニヤは賤しむべき壞れたる器ならんや好ましからざる器具ならんや如何なれば彼と其子孫は逐出されてその識ざる地に投やらるるや
29 O land, land, land! Hear thou the word of Yahweh!
地よ地よ地よヱホバの言をきけ
30 Thus, saith Yahweh, —Register ye this man, childless, A man who shall not prosper in his days, —For there shall prosper of his seed No man sitting upon the throne of David, Or ruling any more over Judah.
ヱホバかくいひたまふこの人を子なくして其生命の中に榮えざる人と錄せそはその子孫のうちに榮えてダビデの位に坐しユダを治る人かさねてなかるべければなり
