Jeremiah 30
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
ヱホバよりヱレミヤにのぞめる言いふ
2 “[I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [say they belong to], am telling you that you should write down everything that I have said to you.
イスラエルの神ヱホバかく告ていふ我汝に言し言をことごとく書に錄せ
3 [I want you to know that] some day I will free my people, [the people of] Israel and Judah, from being slaves [in Babylon]. I will bring them back to this land that I gave to their ancestors, and this land will belong to them again. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
ヱホバいふわれ我民イスラエルとユダの俘囚人を返す日きたらんヱホバこれをいふ我彼らをその先祖にあたへし地にかへらしめん彼らは之をたもたん
4 Yahweh gave [to me] another message concerning [the people of] Israel and Judah.
ヱホバのイスラエルとユダにつきていひたまひし言は是なり
5 This is what he said: “I hear people screaming because they are terrified [DOU]; there is no peace [in the land].
ヱホバかくいふ我ら戰慄の聲をきく驚懼あり平安あらず
6 But think about this: Men certainly do not [RHQ] give birth to babies. Therefore, why do strong men stand there, with their faces very white/pale, with their hands pressed against their stomachs, like women who are about to give birth to babies?
汝ら子を產む男あるやを尋ね觀よ我男が皆子を產む婦のごとく手をその腰におき且その面色皆靑く變るをみるこは何故ぞや
7 [Terrible things will soon happen]; that will be a terrible day! There has never been such a time. It will be a time when [my] Israeli people will experience great trouble, but [finally] they will be saved [from their sufferings].”
哀しいかなその日は大にして之に擬ふべき日なし此はヤコブの患難の時なり然ど彼はこれより救出されん
8 The Commander of the armies of angels says this: “At that time [it will be as though] I will sever/cut the ropes [that are around my people], and I will free them from being (slaves/forced to do what the King of Babylon wants them to do) [MET]. People in other countries will no longer be their bosses.
萬軍のヱホバいふ其日我なんぢの項よりその軛をくだきはなし汝の繩目をとかん異邦人は復彼を使役はざるべし
9 My people will [again] serve me, Yahweh, their God, and [they will serve a king who is a descendant of] King David; [they will serve the king] whom I will appoint for them.
彼らは其神ヱホバと我彼らの爲に立んところの其王ダビデにつかふべし
10 So, [you people of] Israel who serve me, do not be dismayed/worried [now], because [some day] I will bring you back from distant places; I will bring your descendants [back home] from the land to which they were exiled. [Then you] Israeli people will [again] live peacefully and safely, and there will not be any [nation] that will cause you to be terrified.
ヱホバいふ我僕ヤコブよ懼るる勿れイスラエルよ驚く勿れ我汝を遠方より救ひかへし汝の子孫を其とらへ移されし地より救ひかへさんヤコブは歸りて平穩と寧靜をえん彼を畏れしむる者なかるべし
11 I, Yahweh, say that I will be with you and will rescue you; I will completely destroy the nations to which I have scattered you. But I will not completely destroy you. I will punish you [for your many sins], but I will punish you [only] as severely as you deserve: I would be doing wrong if I did not punish you at all.”
ヱホバいふ我汝と偕にありて汝を救はん設令われ汝を散せし國々を悉く滅しつくすとも汝をば滅しつくさじされど我道をもて汝を懲さん汝を全たく罰せずにはおかざるべし
12 Yahweh [also] says this: “[You have (suffered very much/endured many disasters)]; [it is as though] you have a terrible wound that cannot be cured.
ヱホバかくいふ汝の創は愈ず汝の傷は重し
13 There is no one to help you, no one to put a bandage on your wound. There is no [medicine that will] heal you.
汝の訟を理す者なく汝の創を裹む膏藥あらず
14 All your allies [MET] have deserted you and they do not want to help you [any more]. [It is true that] I have punished you severely, [like your] enemies would wound you, because you have committed many sins and you are very guilty.
汝の愛する者は皆汝を忘れて汝を求めず是汝の愆の多きと罪の數多なるによりて我仇敵の撃がごとく汝を撃ち嚴く汝を懲せばなり
15 [Because that is true], why do you protest about my punishing you, [as though I had caused] a wound that could not be cured [RHQ]? It was necessary for me to punish you, because you had committed many sins and you were very guilty.
何ぞ汝の創のために叫ぶや汝の患は愈ることなし汝の愆の多きと罪の數多なるによりて我これを汝になすなり
16 But [some day] all those who [are trying to] destroy you will be destroyed; all your enemies will be exiled [to other nations]. All those who have stolen things from you will have their [valuable] possessions stolen, and all those who attack you will be attacked.
然どすべて汝を食ふ者は食はれすべて汝を虐ぐる者は皆とらはれ汝を掠むる者は掠められん凡て汝の物を奪ふ者は我これをして奪はるる事にあはしむべし
17 [Everyone] says that you are (outcasts/people that they no longer associate with), and that [you live in] Jerusalem, a city that no one cares about.” But Yahweh says, “I will heal your injuries/wounds and cause you to be healthy again.”
ヱホバいふ我汝に膏藥を貼り汝の傷を醫さんそは人汝を棄られし者とよび尋る者なきシオンといへばなり
18 This is what Yahweh says: “I will bring the people of Israel back from the lands to which they were taken and enable them to possess their land and their houses again. [When that happens], Jerusalem will be rebuilt on top of its ruins, and the [king’s] palace will be rebuilt to be like it was before.
ヱホバかくいふ視よわれかの擄移されたるヤコブの天幕をかへし其住居をあはれまん斯邑はその故の丘垤に建られん城には宜き樣に人住はん
19 People will [again] sing joyfully to thank [me], and I will cause there to be more people [in Jerusalem], not fewer; I will cause them to be honored, not despised.
感謝と歡樂者の聲とその中よりいでん我かれらを增ん彼ら少からじ我彼らを崇せん彼ら藐められじ
20 Their children will [prosper] like they did before. I will cause them to be a group of people [who worship] me, and I will punish any [nation] that oppresses them.
其子は疇昔のごとくあらん其集會は我前に固く立ん凡かれを虐ぐる者は我これを罰せん
21 One of their own people will be their king, and I will invite him to come close to me [to worship me], because no one [RHQ] would (dare/have courage) to come close to me [if I did not invite him].
其首領は本族よりいで其督者はその中よりいでん我彼をちかづけ彼に近かん誰かその生命を繋て我に近くものあらんやとヱホバいふ
22 You [Israeli people] will be my people, and I will be your God.”
汝等は我民となり我は汝らの神とならん
23 Yahweh will punish [MTY] [your enemies]; [it will be like a great] storm; it will come down [like] a whirlwind, swirling around the heads of wicked people.
みよヱホバの暴風あり怒と旋轉風いでて惡人の首をうたん
24 He will not stop being angry until he completely accomplishes [all] that he has planned. In the future, you will understand [all] of this [clearly].
ヱホバの烈き忿はかれがその心の思を行ひてこれを遂るまでは息じ末の日に汝ら明にこれを曉らん
