Jeremiah 16
1 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
ヱホバの言また我にのぞみていふ
2 “Do not take a wife for yourself, and do not have sons or daughters for yourself in this place.
汝この處にて妻を娶るなかれ子女を得るなかれ
3 For Yahweh says this to the sons and daughters who are born in this place, to the mothers who bear them, and to the fathers who caused them to be born in this land,
此處に生るる子女とこの地に之を生む母と之を生む父とに就てヱホバかくいひたまふ
4 'They will die diseased deaths. They will not be mourned or buried. They will be like dung on the ground. For they will come to an end by sword and famine, and their corpses will be food for the birds of the skies and the beasts of the earth.'
彼らは慘しき病に死し哀まれず葬られずして糞土のごとくに田地の面にあらんまた劍と饑饉に滅されて其屍は天空の鳥と地の獸の食物とならん
5 For the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, 'Do not enter a house where there is mourning. Do not go to mourn or to show sympathy for them, for I have taken away my peace from this people—this is Yahweh's declaration—and my steadfast love and mercy.
ヱホバかくいひたまへり喪ある家にいる勿れまた往て之を哀み嗟く勿れそはわれ我平安と恩寵と矜恤をこの民より取ばなりとヱホバいひたまへり
6 Both the great and the small will die in this land. They will not be buried, and no one will mourn for them or cut themselves or shave their heads for them.
大なる者も小さき者もこの地に死べし彼らは葬られずまた彼らのために哀む者なく自ら傷くる者なく髮をそる者なかるべし
7 No one must share any food in mourning to comfort them because of the deaths, and none must give a comforting cup to his father or his mother in order to comfort them.
またその哀むときパンをさきて其死者のために之を慰むるものなく又父あるひは母のために慰藉の杯を彼らに飮しむる者なかるべし
8 You must not go to a banquet house to sit with them in order to eat or drink.'
汝また筵宴の家にいりて偕に坐して食飮する勿れ
9 For Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, 'See, before your eyes, in your days and in this place, I am about to put an end to the sound of joy and the sound of gladness, the sound of the groom and the sound of the bride.'
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ視よ汝の目の前汝の世に在るときにわれ欣喜の聲と歡樂の聲と新娶者の聲と新婦の聲とを此處に絕しめん
10 Then it will happen that you will report all these words to this people, and they will say to you, 'Why has Yahweh decreed all this great disaster against us? What is our iniquity and sin that we sinned against Yahweh our God?'
汝このすべての言を斯民に告るとき彼ら汝に問ふてヱホバわれらを責てこの大なる災を示したまふは何故ぞやまたわれらに何の惡事あるやわが神ヱホバに背きてわれらのなせし罪は何ぞやといはば
11 So say to them, 'Because your ancestors abandoned me—this is Yahweh's declaration—and they went after other gods and worshiped and bowed down to them. They abandoned me and have not kept my law.
汝かれらに答ふべしヱホバいひたまふ是汝らの先祖われを棄て他の神に從ひこれに奉へこれを拜しまた我をすてわが律法を守らざりしによる
12 But you yourselves have brought about more wickedness than your ancestors, for see, each person is walking by the stubbornness of his wicked heart; there is no one who listens to me.
汝らは汝らの先祖よりも多く惡をなせりみよ汝らはおのおの自己の惡き心の剛愎なるにしたがひて我にきかず
13 So I will throw you from this land to a land that you have not known, neither you nor your ancestors, and you will worship other gods there by day and night, for I will not give any favor to you.'
故にわれ汝らを此の地より逐ひて汝らと汝らの先祖の識ざる地にいたらしめん汝らかしこにて晝夜ほかの神に奉へん是わが汝らを憐まざるによるなりと
14 Therefore, behold, the days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when it will no longer be said, 'As Yahweh lives, the one who brought up the people of Israel from the land of Egypt.'
ヱホバいひたまふ然ばみよ此後イスラエルの民をエジプトの地より導きいだせしヱホバは活くといふことなくして
15 but, 'As Yahweh lives, the one who brought up the people of Israel from the land of the north and from the lands where he had scattered them.' For I will bring them back to the land that I gave to their ancestors.
イスラエルの民を北の地とそのすべて逐やられし地より導出せしヱホバは活くといふ日きたらん我かれらを我その先祖に與へしかれらの地に導きかへるべし
16 Behold! I will send for many fishermen—this is Yahweh's declaration—so they will fish the people out. After this I will send for many hunters so they will hunt for them among all the mountains and hills, and in rock crevices.
ヱホバいひたまふみよ我おほくの漁者をよび來りて彼らを漁らせまたその後おほくの獵者を呼來りて彼らを諸の山もろもろの岡および岩の穴より獵いださしめん
17 For my eye is on all their ways; they cannot be hidden from before me. Their iniquity cannot be concealed from before my eyes.
我目はかれらの諸の途を鑒る皆我にかくるるところなし又その惡は我目に匿れざるなり
18 I will first pay back double for their iniquity and sin for their polluting of my land with their disgusting idol figures, and for their filling my inheritance with their disgusting idols.”
われまづ倍して其惡とその罪に報いんそは彼らその汚れたる者の屍をもて我地を汚しその惡むべきものをもて我產業に充せばなり
19 Yahweh, you are my stronghold and my refuge, my place of safety in the day of distress. The nations will go to you from the ends of the earth and say, “Surely our ancestors inherited deceit. They are empty; there is no profit in them.
ヱホバ我の力 我の城 難の時の逃場よ萬國の民は地の極より汝にきたりわれらの先祖の嗣るところの者は惟謊と虛浮事と益なき物のみなりといはん
20 Do people make gods for themselves? But they are not gods.”
人豈神にあらざる者をおのれの神となすべけんや
21 Therefore see! I will cause them to know in this time, I will cause them to know my hand and my power, so they will know that Yahweh is my name.
故にみよわれ此度かれらに知らしむるところあらん即ち我手と我能をかれらに知らしめん彼らは我名のヱホバなるを知るべし
