< Jeremiah 12 >

1 [are] righteous You O Yahweh if I bring a case to you nevertheless judgments I will speak with you why? [the] way of wicked [people] does it prosper are they at ease? all [those who] act treacherously of treachery.
ヱホバよわが汝と爭ふ時に汝は義し惟われ鞫の事につきて汝と言ん惡人の途のさかえ悖れる者のみな福なるは何故ぞや
2 You have planted them also they have taken root they walk also they have produced fruit [are] near you in mouth their and distant from kidneys their.
汝かれらを植たり彼らは根づき成長て實を結べりその口は汝に近けどもその心は汝に遠ざかる
3 And you O Yahweh you know me you see me and you test heart my with you drag away them like sheep to slaughter and set apart them to a day of slaughter.
ヱホバ汝われを知り我を見またわが心の汝にむかひて何なるかを試みたまふ羊を宰りに牽いだすがごとく彼らを牽いだし殺す日の爲にかれらをそなへたまへ
4 Until when? will it dry up the land and [the] vegetation of every field will it be dried up from [the] evil of [those who] dwell in it it has dwindled away animals and bird[s] for people have said not he will see end our.
いつまでこの地は哭きすべての畑の蔬菜は枯をるべけんやこの地に住る者の惡によりて畜獸と鳥は滅さる彼らいふ彼は我らの終をみざるべしと
5 If with foot soldiers - you have run and they have made weary you and how? will you compete with the horses and in a land of safety you [are] falling to [the] ground and how? will you do in [the] thicket of the Jordan.
汝もし歩行者とともに趨てつかれなばいかで騎馬者と競はんや汝平安なる地を恃まばいかでヨルダンの傍の叢に居ることをえんや
6 For also brothers your and [the] house of father your also they they have dealt treacherously with you also they they have called out after you full may not you trust in them for they speak to you good things.
汝の兄弟と汝の父の家も汝を欺きまた大聲をあげて汝を追ふかれらしたしく汝に語るともこれを信ずる勿れ
7 I have forsaken house my I have abandoned inheritance my I have given [the] beloved one of self my in [the] hand enemies her.
われ我家を離れわが產業をすて我靈魂の愛するところの者をその敵の手にわたせり
8 It has become to me inheritance my like a lion in the forest it has given on me with voice its there-fore I hate it.
わが產業は林の獅子のごとし我にむかひて其聲を揚ぐ故にわれ之を惡めり
9 ¿ A bird of prey speckled [is] inheritance my to me that [are] bird[s] of prey? all around on it go gather every animal of the field bring [them] for food.
我產業は我におけること班駁ある鳥のごとくならずや鳥之を圍むにあらずや野のすべての獸きたりあつまれ來てこれを食へ
10 Shepherds many they have ruined vineyard my they have trodden down portion my they have made [the] portion of desire my into a wilderness of desolation.
衆の牧者わが葡萄園をほろぼしわが地を踐踏しわがうるはしき地を荒野となせり
11 He has made it into a desolation it is in mourning on me desolate it has been made desolate all the land for there not [is] anyone [who] puts [it] on heart.
彼らこれを荒地となせりその荒地我にむかひて哭くなり一人もかへりみる者なければこの全地は荒たり
12 Over all [the] bare heights in the wilderness they have come destroyers for a sword of Yahweh [is] devouring from an end of [the] land and to [the] end of the land not peace [belongs] to any flesh.
毀滅者は野のすべての童山のうへに來れりヱホバの劍地のこの極よりかの極までを滅ぼすすべて血氣ある者は安をえず
13 People have sown wheat and thorns they have reaped they have wearied themselves not they have profited and be ashamed from produce your from [the] burning of [the] anger of Yahweh.
彼らは麥を播て荊棘をかる勞れども得るところなし汝らはその作物のために恥るにいたらん是ヱホバの烈き怒によりてなり
14 Thus - he says Yahweh on all neighbors my evil who touch the inheritance which I gave as an inheritance people my Israel here I [am] about to pluck up them from on land their and [the] house of Judah I will pluck up from among them.
わがイスラエルの民に嗣しむる產業をせむるところのすべてのわが惡き隣にむかひてヱホバかくいふみよわれ彼等をその地より拔出しまたユダの家を彼らの中より拔出すべし
15 And it will be after have plucked up I them I will return and I will have compassion on them and I will bring back them everyone to own inheritance his and everyone to own land his.
われ彼らを拔出せしのちまた彼らを恤みておのおのを其產業にかへし各人をその地に歸らしめん
16 And it will be certainly [if] they will learn [the] ways of people my to swear by name my [by] [the] life of Yahweh just as they taught people my to swear by Baal and they will be built in among people my.
彼等もし我民の道をまなび我名をさしてヱホバは活くと誓ふこと嘗て我民を敎へてバアルを指て誓はしめし如くせば彼らはわが民の中に建らるべし
17 And if not they will listen and I will pluck up the nation that plucking up and destroying [the] utterance of Yahweh.
されど彼らもし聽かざれば我かならずかかる民を全く拔出して滅すべしとヱホバいひたまふ
