Jeremiah 33
1 While I was still being guarded in the courtyard of the palace, Yahweh gave me this second message:
ヱレミヤ尚獄の庭に禁錮られてをる時ヱホバの言ふたたび彼に臨みていふ
2 “This is what I, the one who made the earth, who formed/shaped it and put it in its place, say [to the people of Jerusalem]: ‘My name is Yahweh.
事をおこなふヱホバ事をなして之を成就るヱホバ其名をヱホバと名る者かく言ふ
3 Call out to me, and [then] I will tell you great and wonderful things that you have not known [before].’
汝我に龢求めよわれ汝に應へん又汝が知ざる大なる事と秘密たる事とを汝に示さん
4 This is what [I, ] Yahweh, the God whom [you] Israeli people [say you belong to], say: ‘[The men in this city] have torn down [some of] their houses, and [even parts of] the king’s palace, to get materials to strengthen the walls around the city, in order that [the soldiers of Babylonia will not be able to break through the walls after they climb up] the ramps that they have built against the walls, and [kill the inhabitants with] their swords.
イスラエルの神ヱホバ壘と劍によりて毀たれたる此邑の室とユダの王の室につきてかくいひ給ふ
5 You are expecting to fight against the army from Babylonia, but [what will happen is that] the houses of this city will be filled with the corpses of the men of this city whom I will [allow to be killed] because I am extremely angry [DOU] with them. I have abandoned them because of all the wicked things that they have done.
彼らカルデヤ人と戰はんとて來る是には我震怒と憤恨をもて殺すところの人々の屍體充るにいたらん我かれらの諸の惡のためにわが面をこの邑に蔽ひかくせり
6 However, [there will be a time when] I will cause the people in this city to be healthy and strong again. I will enable them to be prosperous and have peace.
視よわれ卷布と良藥をこれに持きたりて人々を醫し平康と眞實の豐厚なるをこれに示さん
7 I will bring the people of Judah and Israel back from the lands to which they were exiled. I will enable them to rebuild their towns.
我ユダの俘囚人とイスラエルの俘囚人を歸らしめ彼らを建て從前のごとくになすべし
8 I will get rid of their guilt for all the sins that they have committed against me, and I will forgive them for their sin of rebelling against me.
われ彼らが我にむかひて犯せし一切の罪を潔め彼らが我にむかひて犯し且行ひし一切の罪を赦さん
9 [When that happens], all the nations of the world will rejoice, and they will praise me and honor me. They will hear about all the good things that I have done for this city and, because of that, they will revere me, and they will tremble because I have caused [the people in this city] to have peace and to prosper.’
此邑は地のもろもろの民の中において我がために欣喜の名となり頌美となり榮耀となるべし彼等はわが此民にほどこすところの諸の恩惠を聞ん而してわがこの邑にほどこすところの諸の恩惠と諸の福祿のために發振へ且身を動搖さん
10 And this is also what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘You people have said that this is a land where there are no [longer] any people or animals. But in the streets of Jerusalem that are now completely empty [DOU], and in the [other] towns in Judah,
ヱホバかくいひ給へり汝らが荒れて人もなく畜もなしといひしこの處即ち荒れて人もなく住む者もなく畜もなきユダの邑とヱルサレムの街に
11 [some day] people will again be happy and laugh. Brides and bridegrooms will [again] sing [joyfully]. And many other people will also sing joyfully as they bring their offerings to me to thank me [for what I have done for them]. [They will sing this song]: “[We] thank you, the Commander of the armies of angels, because you are good [to us]. You faithfully love [us] forever.” [They will sing that] because I will cause [the people of] land to be as prosperous as they were before.’
再び欣喜の聲 歡樂の聲 新娶者の聲 新婦の聲および萬軍のヱホバをあがめよヱホバは善にしてその矜恤は窮なしといひて其感謝の祭物をヱホバの室に携ふる者の聲聞ゆべし蓋われこの地の俘囚人を返らしめて初のごとくになすべければなりヱホバ之をいひたまふ
12 This land is [now] desolate. There are no people or animals living here. But [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say this: ‘In this land there will again be pastures/fields where shepherds will lead their sheep.
萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふ荒れて人もなく畜もなきこの處と其すべての邑々に再び牧者のその群を伏しむる牧場あるにいたらん
13 Shepherds will again count their sheep as the sheep walk by, outside the towns in the hilly area, in the western foothills, in the southern desert area, in the land [where the descendants] of Benjamin live, around Jerusalem, and outside [all] the [other] towns in Judah.’ [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.
山の邑と平地の邑と南の方の邑とベニヤミンの地とヱルサレムの四周とユダの邑において群ふたたびその之を核ふる者の手の下を過らんとヱホバいひたまふ
14 Listen to this! [I], Yahweh, say that there will be a time when I will do for the people of Israel and Judah [all the good things that] I promised to do [for them].
ヱホバ言たまはく視よ我イスラエルの家とユダの家に語りし善言を成就ぐる日きたらん
15 At that time [DOU] I will appoint a righteous man who will be a descendant [MET] of King David. Throughout the land, he will do what is just and right.
その日その時にいたらばわれダビデの爲に一の義き枝を生ぜしめん彼は公道と公義を地に行ふべし
16 At that time, [the people of] Judah will be rescued [from their enemies], and [the people of] Jerusalem will be safe. And people will say that the name of the city is ‘Yahweh [is the one who] vindicates/defends us’.
その日ユダは救をえヱルサレムは安らかに居らんその名はヱホバ我儕の義と稱へらるべし
17 And this is [also] what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘There will be descendants of King David ruling [MTY] Israel forever.
ヱホバかくいひたまふイスラエルの家の位に坐する人ダビデに缺ることなかるべし
18 And there will always be priests who are descendants of Levi who [stand] in front of me and offer sacrifices that will be completely burned [on the altar] and who will burn grain offerings and [other] sacrifices.’”
また我前に燔祭をささげ素祭を燃し恒に犠牲を献ぐる人レビ人なる祭司に絕ざるべし
19 [Then] Yahweh gave me this message:
ヱホバのことばヱレミヤに臨みていふ
20 “This is what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘[You] certainly cannot annul my promise/agreement to cause nighttime to follow daytime each day.
ヱホバかくいふ汝らもし我晝につきての契約と我夜につきての契約を破りてその時々に晝も夜もなからしむることをえば
21 Similarly, you cannot annul the promise/agreement [that I made] with King David, who served me [well], that there will always be descendants of his who will rule [Judah]. The same is true for my agreement with the descendants of Levi who are priests who do work for me.
僕ダビデに吾が立し契約もまた破れその子はかれの位に坐して王となることをえざらんまたわが我に事ふるレビ人なる祭司に立し契約も破れん
22 No one can count the stars in the sky, and no one can count the grains of sand at the seashore. Similarly, I will cause there to be a huge number of priests who are descendants of David and descendants of Levi who will work for me.’”
天の星は數へられず濱の沙は量られずわれその如く我僕ダビデの裔と我に事ふるレビ人を增ん
23 Yahweh gave another message to me. He said,
ヱホバの言またヱレミヤに臨みていふ
24 “Have you noticed/heard that some people are saying, ‘Yahweh chose two groups, the people [of Judah] and the people [of Israel], and [later] abandoned them.’ They are despising my people and saying that Israel no longer deserves to be considered a nation.
汝この民の語りてヱホバはその選みし二の族を棄たりといふを聞ざるか彼らはかく我民を藐じてその眼にこれを國と見なさざるなり
25 But this is what I say: ‘I will not change my laws that control the day and the night, the sky and the earth.
ヱホバかくいひ給ふもしわれ晝と夜とについての契約を立ずまた天地の律法を定めずば
26 Similarly, I will never abandon the descendants of David or the [other] descendants of Jacob, and I will always allow descendants of David to rule the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will bring my people back to their land, and I will act mercifully toward them.’”
われヤコブと我僕ダビデとの裔をすてて再びかれの裔の中よりアブラハム、イサク、ヤコブの裔を治むる者を取ざるべし我その俘囚し者を返らしめこれを恤れむべし
