< Jeremiah 36 >

1 And it came to pass, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying:
ユダの王ヨシヤの子ヱホヤキムの四年にこの言ヱホバよりヱレミヤに臨みていふ
2 Take thee a scroll, and write therein all the words which I have spoken unto thee concerning Israel and concerning Judah and concerning all the nations, —from the day I began to speak unto thee from the days of Josiah, even until this day:
汝卷物をとり我汝に語りし日即ちヨシヤの日より今日に至るまでイスラエルとユダと萬國とにつきてわが汝に語りしすべての言を之に錄せ
3 Peradventure, the house of Judah will hearken unto all the calamity, which I am devising to execute against them, —to the end they may return every man from his wicked way, whereupon I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin.
ユダの家わが降さんと擬るところの災をききて各自その惡き途をはなれて轉ることもあらん然ばわれ其愆とその罪を赦すべし
4 So Jeremiah called Baruch, son of Neriah, —and Baruch wrote, from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of Yahweh which he had spoken unto him upon a scroll.
是に於てヱレミヤ、ネリヤの子バルクを召べりバルクすなはちヱレミヤの口にしたがひヱホバの彼に告たまひし言をことごとく卷物に錄せり
5 Then did Jeremiah command Baruch, saying, —I, am hindered, I cannot enter the house of Yahweh;
ヱレミヤ、バルクに云ひけるはわれは禁錮られたればヱホバの室に往くことを得ず
6 Thou, therefore shalt enter and read in the roll which thou hast written from my mouth the words of Yahweh in the ears of the people in the house of Yahweh on the day of a fast, —moreover also, in the ears of all Judah who are coming in out of their cities, shalt thou read them:
故に汝ゆきて汝が我の口にしたがひて卷物に錄したるヱホバの言をよみ斷食の日にヱホバの室に於て民の耳にこれを聽しめよまた之を讀みてユダの人々のその邑々より來れる者の耳に聽しむべし
7 Peradventure, their supplication, will fall prostrate, before Yahweh, and they return every man from his wicked way, —For, great, are the anger and the indignation which Yahweh hath spoken against this people.
彼らヱホバの前にその祈禱を献り各自其惡き途をはなれて轉ることもあらんヱホバの此民につきてのべたまひし怒と憤は大なり
8 So then Baruch son of Neriah did according to all which Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of Yahweh in the house of Yahweh.
斯てネリヤの子バルクは凡て預言者ヱレミヤが己に命ぜしごとくヱホバの室にてその卷物よりヱホバの言を讀り
9 And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah in the ninth month, that all the people of Jerusalem, and all the people who were coming in out of the cities of Judah into Jerusalem, had proclaimed a fast before Yahweh;
ユダの王ヨシヤの子ヱホヤキムの五年九月ヱルサレムの諸の民およびユダの諸邑よりヱルサレムに來れる諸の民にヱホバの前に斷食を行ふべきこと宣示さる
10 Baruch, therefore, read in the book the words of Jeremiah, in the house of Yahweh, —in the chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan—the scribe, in the upper court, at the opening of the new gate of the house of Yahweh, in the ears of all the people.
バルク、ヱホバの室の上庭に於てヱホバの室の新しき門の入口の旁にあるシヤパンの子なる書記ゲマリヤの房にてその書よりヱレミヤの言を民に讀きかせたり
11 When Micaiah, son of Gemariah son of Shaphan, heard all the words of Yahweh out of the book,
シヤパンの子なるゲマリヤの子ミカヤその書のヱホバの言を盡くききて
12 then went he down unto the house of the king up to the chamber of the scribe, and lo! there, all the princes sitting, —Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan son of Achbor, and Gemariah son of Shaphan and Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the princes,
王の宮にある書記の房にくだりいたるに諸の牧伯等即ち書記エリシヤマ、シマヤの子デラヤ、アカボルの子エルナタン、シヤパンの子ゲマリヤ、ハナニヤの子ゼデキヤおよび諸の牧伯等そこに坐せり
13 So Micaiah told them all the words which he heard, —when Baruch read in the book in the ears of the people.
ミカヤ、バルクが書を讀て民の耳に聽せしときに己が聽しところのすべての言を彼らに告ければ
14 All the princes, therefore sent unto Baruch, Jehudi, son of Nethaniah son of Shelemiah son of Cushi saying, The roll wherein thou didst read in the ears of the people, take it in thy hand, and come, So Baruch son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came in unto them.
牧伯等クシの子シレミヤの子なるネタニヤの子エホデをバルクに遣はしていはせけるは汝が民に讀きかせしその卷物を手に取て來れとネリヤの子バルクすなはち手に卷物を取りて彼らの許にきたりたれば
15 Then said they unto him, Sit down we pray thee and read it in our ears, So Baruch read it in their ears.
彼らバルクにいひけるは請ふ坐して之を我らに讀きかせよとバルクすなはち彼らに讀聞せたり
16 And it came to pass when they heard all the words, that they turned with fear one to another, —and said unto Baruch, We must, surely tell, the king, all these words!
彼らその諸の言をききて倶に懼れバルクにいひけるは我ら必ずこの諸の言を王に告んと
17 Then unto Baruch, put they questions saying, —Tell us, we pray thee, How, didst thou write all these words at his mouth?
またバルクに問ていひけるは請ふ汝いかにこの諸の言をかれの口にしたがひて錄せしや我らに告よ
18 So Baruch said unto them, With his own mouth, used he to proclaim unto me all these words, —and I kept on writing in the book, with ink.
バルク答へけるは彼その口をもてこの諸の言を我に述べたればわれ墨をもて之を書に錄せり
19 Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go hide thee, thou and Jeremiah, and let no man, know where ye, are!
牧伯等バルクにいひけるは汝ゆきてヱレミヤとともに身を匿し在所を人に知しむべからずと
20 Then went they in unto the king, into the court, but the roll, had they put in charge, in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, —so they declared in the ears of the king all the words.
すなはち卷物を書記エリシヤマの房に置きて庭にいり王に詣りてこの諸の言を王につげければ
21 The king, therefore sent, Jehudi, to fetch the roll, and he fetched it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe, —and Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes who were standing near the king.
王その卷物を持來らせんとてヱホデを遣せりヱホデすなはち書記エリシヤマの房より卷物を取來りて之を王と王の側に立るすべての牧伯等に讀みきかせたり
22 Now, the king, was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, —with the fire-stove before him burning.
時は九月にして王冬の室に坐せり其前に火の燃る爐あり
23 So then it came to pass when Jehudi had read three or four columns that he cut it up into fragments with a scribe’s knife, and cast them into the fire that was in the stove, —until, all the roll, was consumed on the fire that was on the stove.
ヱホデ三枚か四枚を讀けるとき王小刀をもてその卷物を切割き爐の火に投いれて之を盡く爐の火に焚り
24 Yet were they not in dread, neither rent they their garments, —the king, nor any of his servants that were hearing all these words.
王とその臣僕等はこの諸の言をきけども懼れず亦その衣を裂ざりき
25 Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah, interceded with the king, not to burn the roll, —but he hearkened not unto them.
エルナタン、デラヤ、ゲマリヤ等王にその卷物を焚たまふ勿れと求めたれども聽ざりき
26 Then did the king command Jerahmeel son of the king, and Seraiah son of Azriel, and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to fetch Baruch the scribe, and Jeremiah the prophet, —but Yahweh had hid them.
王ハンメレクの子ヱラメルとアヅリエルの子セラヤとアブデルの子セレミヤに書記バルクと預言者ヱレミヤを執へよと命ぜしがヱホバかれらを匿したまへり
27 Then came the word of Yahweh unto Jeremiah, after the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch had written from the mouth of Jeremiah saying:
王卷物およびバルクがヱレミヤの口にしたがひて記せし言を焚しのちヱホバの言ヱレミヤに臨みていふ
28 Again take thee another roll, and write thereon, all the former words which were on the first roll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah hath burned.
汝また他の卷物をとりユダの王ヱホヤキムが焚しところの前の卷物の中の言をことごとく其に錄せ
29 But unto Jehoiakim king of Judah, shalt thou say, Thus, saith Yahweh, —Thou, hast burned this roll saying, Why hast thou written thereon—saying, The king of Babylon shall, certainly, come and lay waste this land, and cause to cease therefrom man and beast?
汝またユダの王ヱホヤキムに告よヱホバかくいふ汝かの卷物を焚ていへり汝何なれば此卷物に錄してバビロンの王必ず來りてこの地を滅し此に人と畜を絕さんと云しやと
30 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah, —He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David, —And, his dead body, shall be cast out—to the heat by day, and to the frost by night;
この故にヱホバ、ユダの王ヱホヤキムにつきてかくいひ給ふ彼にはダビデの位に坐する者無にいたらん且かれの屍は棄られて晝は熱氣にあひ夜は寒氣にあはん
31 And I will visit upon him and upon his seed and upon his servants the punishment of their iniquity, —and will bring upon them and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem and against, the men of Judah, all the calamity, which I have spoken against them but they have not hearkened.
我また彼とその子孫とその臣僕等をその惡のために罰せんまた彼らとヱルサレムの民とユダの人々には我わが彼らにつきて語りしかども彼らが聽ことをせざりし所の禍を降すべし
32 So, Jeremiah, took another roll and gave it unto Baruch son of Neriah the scribe, who wrote thereon, from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book, which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned, in the fire, —and further were added thereunto many words like unto them
是に於てヱレミヤ他の卷物を取てネリヤの子書記バルクにあたふバルクすなはちユダの王ヱホヤキムが火に焚たるところの書の諸の言をヱレミヤの口にしたがひて之に錄し外にまた斯る言を多く之に加へたり
