< Jeremiah 19 >
1 Thus he said Yahweh go and you will buy a bottle of a potter of earthenware and some of [the] elders of the people and some of [the] elders of the priests.
主はこう言われる、「行って、陶器師のびんを買い、民の長老と年長の祭司のうちの数人を伴って、
2 And you will go out to [the] valley of Ben Hinnom which [is at] [the] entrance of [the] gate of (the potsherd *Q(k)*) and you will proclaim there the words which I will speak to you.
瀬戸かけの門の入口にあるベンヒンノムの谷へ行き、その所で、わたしがあなたに語る言葉をのべて、
3 And you will say hear [the] word of Yahweh O kings of Judah and [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to bring calamity on the place this which every [one who] hears of it they will tingle ears his.
言いなさい、『ユダの王たち、およびエルサレムに住む者よ、主の言葉を聞きなさい。万軍の主、イスラエルの神はこう仰せられる、見よ、わたしは災をこの所に下す。おおよそ、その災のことを聞くものの耳は両方とも鳴る。
4 Because - that they have forsaken me and they have treated as foreign the place this and they have made smoke in it to gods other which not they knew them they and ancestors their and [the] kings of Judah and they have filled the place this [the] blood of innocent [ones].
彼らがわたしを捨て、この所を汚し、この所で、自分も先祖たちもユダの王たちも知らなかった他の神々に香をたき、かつ罪のない者の血を、この所に満たしたからである。
5 And they have built [the] high places of Baal to burn children their in the fire burnt offerings to Baal which not I commanded and not I spoke and not it came up on heart my.
また彼らはバアルのために高き所を築き、火をもって自分の子どもたちを焼き、燔祭としてバアルにささげた。これはわたしの命じたことではなく、定めたことでもなく、また思いもしなかったことである。
6 Therefore here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and not it will be called to the place this again Topheth and [the] valley of Ben Hinnom that except [the] valley of slaughter.
主は言われる、それゆえ、見よ、この所をトペテまたはベンヒンノムの谷と呼ばないで、虐殺の谷と呼ぶ日がくる。
7 And I will make void [the] plan of Judah and Jerusalem in the place this and I will make fall them by the sword before enemies their and by [the] hand of [those who] seek life their and I will give corpse[s] their to food to [the] bird[s] of the heavens and to [the] animal[s] of the earth.
またわたしはこの所でユダとエルサレムの計りごとを打ち破り、つるぎをもって、彼らをその敵の前と、そのいのちを求める者の手に倒れさせ、またその死体を空の鳥と地の獣の食い物とし、
8 And I will make the city this into a waste and into a hissing every [one who] passes by at it he will be appalled and he may hiss on all wounds its.
かつ、この町を荒れすたれさせて、人に舌打ちされるものとする。そこを通る人は皆そのもろもろの災を見て身震いし、舌打ちする。
9 And I will make eat them [the] flesh of sons their and [the] flesh of daughters their and everyone [the] flesh of neighbor his they will eat in [the] siege and in [the] distress which they will press them enemies their and [those who] seek life their.
また彼らがその敵とその命を求める者とに囲まれて苦しみ悩む時、わたしは彼らに自分のむすこの肉、娘の肉を食べさせる。彼らはまた互にその友の肉を食べるようになる』。
10 And you will break the bottle to [the] eyes of the men who go with you.
そこで、あなたは、一緒に行く人々の目の前で、そのびんを砕き、
11 And you will say to them thus he says - Yahweh of hosts thus I will break the people this and the city this just as someone breaks [the] vessel of the potter which not it will be able to be repaired again and in Topheth people will bury from not room to bury.
そして彼らに言いなさい、『万軍の主はこう仰せられる、陶器師の器をひとたび砕くならば、もはやもとのようにすることはできない。このようにわたしはこの民とこの町とを砕く。人々はほかに葬るべき場所がないために、トペテに葬るであろう。
12 Thus I will do to the place this [the] utterance of Yahweh and to inhabitants its and to make the city this like Topheth.
主は仰せられる、わたしはこの所と、ここに住む者とにこのようにし、この町をトペテのようにする。
13 And they will be [the] houses of Jerusalem and [the] houses of [the] kings of Judah like [the] place of Topheth the unclean [things] to all the houses which people made smoke on roofs their to all [the] host of the heavens and they poured out drink offerings to gods other.
エルサレムの家とユダの王たちの家、すなわち彼らがその屋上で天の衆群に香をたき、ほかの神々に酒を注いだ家は、皆トペテの所のように汚される』」。
14 And he came Jeremiah from Topheth where he had sent him Yahweh there to prophesy and he stood in [the] court of [the] house of Yahweh and he said to all the people.
エレミヤは主が彼をつかわして預言させられたトペテから帰ってきて、主の家の庭に立ち、すべての民に言った、
15 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel here I ([am] about to bring *Q(k)*) to the city this and on all cities its all the calamity which I have spoken on it for they have stiffened neck their to not to hear words my.
「万軍の主、イスラエルの神はこう仰せられる、見よ、わたしは、この町とそのすべての村々に、わたしの言ったもろもろの災を下す。彼らが強情で、わたしの言葉に聞き従おうとしないからである」。
