Jeremiah 17
1 “The sin of Judah is written with an iron stylus having a diamond point. It is engraved on the tablet of their hearts and on the horns of your altars.
ユダの罪は鐵の筆金剛石の尖をもてしるされその心の碑と汝らの祭壇の角に鐫らるるなり
2 Even their children remember their altars and their Asherah poles that were beside the spreading trees and on the high hills.
彼らはその子女をおもふが如くに靑木の下と高岡のうへなるその祭壇とアシラをおもふ
3 My mountain in the open country, and your wealth and all your treasures I will give away as plunder, together with your high places, because of the sin you committed in all your territories.
われ野に在る我山と汝の資產と汝のもろもろの財產および汝の四方の境の内なる汝の罪を犯せる崇邱を擄掠物とならしめん
4 You will lose the inheritance that I gave to you. I will enslave you to your enemies in a land that you do not know, for you have ignited a fire in my wrath, which will burn forever.”
わが汝にあたへし產業より汝手をはなさん又われ汝をして汝の識ざる地に於て汝の敵につかへしめんそは汝ら我をいからせて限なく燃る火を發したればなり
5 Yahweh says, “The person who trusts in mankind is accursed; he makes flesh his strength but turns his heart away from Yahweh.
ヱホバかくいひたまふおほよそ人を恃み肉をその臂とし心にヱホバを離るる人は詛るべし
6 For he will be like a small bush in the Arabah and will not see anything good coming. He will stay in the stony places in the wilderness, barren land without inhabitants.
彼は荒野に棄られたる者のごとくならん彼は善事のきたるをみず荒野の燥きたる處鹽あるところ人の住ざる地に居らん
7 But the person who trusts in Yahweh is blessed, for Yahweh is his reason for confidence.
おほよそヱホバをたのみヱホバを其恃とする人は福なり
8 For he will be like a tree planted by water, its roots will spread out by the stream. It will not fear the heat when it comes, for its leaves are always green. It is not anxious in a year of drought, and it will not stop producing fruit.
彼は水の旁に植たる樹の如くならん其根を河にのべ炎熱きたるも恐るるところなしその葉は靑く亢旱の年にも憂へずして絕ず果を結ぶべし
9 The heart is more deceitful than anything else. It is sick; who can understand it?
心は萬物よりも僞る者にして甚だ惡し誰かこれを知るをえんや
10 I am Yahweh, the one who searches through the mind, who tests the hearts. I give to each person according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.
われヱホバは心腹を察り腎腸を試みおのおのに其途に順ひその行爲の果によりて報ゆべし
11 A partridge hatches an egg that she did not lay. Someone may become rich unjustly, but when half his days are over, those riches will abandon him, and in the end he will be a fool.”
鷓鴣のおのれの生ざる卵をいだくが如く不義をもて財を獲る者あり其人は命の半にてこれに離れその終に愚なる者とならん
12 “The place of our temple is a glorious throne, elevated from the beginning.
榮の位よ原始より高き者わが聖所たる者
13 Yahweh is the hope of Israel. All who abandon you will be put to shame; those in the land who turn away from you will be written in the earth, for they have forsaken Yahweh, the fountain of living waters.
イスラエルの望なるヱホバよ凡て汝を離るる者は辱められん我を棄る者は土に錄されん此はいける水の源なるヱホバを離るるによる
14 Heal me, Yahweh, and I will be healed! Rescue me, and I will be rescued. For you are my song of praise.
ヱホバよ我を醫し給へ然らばわれ愈んわれを救ひたまへさらば我救はれん汝はわが頌るものなり
15 See, they are saying to me, 'Where is the word of Yahweh? Let it come!'
彼ら我にいふヱホバの言は何にあるやいま之をのぞましめよと
16 As for me, I did not run from being a shepherd following you. I did not long for the day of disaster. You know the proclamations that came from my lips. They were made in your presence.
われ牧者の職を退かずして汝にしたがひ又禍の日を願はざりき汝これを知りたまふ我唇よりいづる者は汝の面の前にあり
17 Do not be a terror to me. You are my refuge on the day of calamity.
汝我を懼れしむる者となり給ふ勿れ禍の時に汝は我避場なり
18 May my pursuers be ashamed, but do not let me be ashamed. May they be dismayed, but do not let me be dismayed. Send the day of disaster against them and shatter them with a double share of destruction.”
我を攻る者を辱しめ給へ我を辱しむるなかれ彼らを怖れしめよ我を怖れしめ給ふなかれ禍の日を彼らに來らしめ滅亡を倍して之を滅し給へ
19 Yahweh said this to me: “Go and stand in the gate of the people where the kings of Judah enter and where they exit, then in all the other gates of Jerusalem.
ヱホバ我にかくいひ給へり汝ゆきてユダの王等の出入する民の門及びヱルサレムの諸の門に立て
20 Say to them, 'Hear the word of Yahweh, kings of Judah and all you people of Judah, and every resident of Jerusalem who comes in through these gates.
彼らにいへ此門より入る所のユダの王等とユダのすべての民とヱルサレムに住るすべての者よ汝らヱホバの言をきけ
21 Yahweh says this: “Be careful for the sake of your lives and do not carry a burden on the Sabbath day to bring it to the gates of Jerusalem.
ヱホバかくいひたまふ汝ら自ら愼め安息日に荷をたづさへてヱルサレムの門にいる勿れ
22 Do not bring a load out from your house on the Sabbath day. Do not do any work, but set apart the Sabbath day, just as I commanded your ancestors to do.”'
また安息日に汝らの家より荷を出す勿れ諸の工作をなす勿れ我汝らの先祖に命ぜしごとく安息日を聖くせよ
23 They did not listen or pay attention, but stiffened their neck so they would not hear me nor accept discipline.
されど彼らは遵はず耳を傾けずまたその項を強くして聽ず訓をうけざるなり
24 It will happen that if you truly listen to me—this is Yahweh's declaration—and do not bring a load to the gates of this city on the Sabbath day but instead set apart the Sabbath day to Yahweh and not do any work on it,
ヱホバいひ給ふ汝らもし謹愼て我にきき安息日に荷をたづさへてこの邑の門にいらず安息日を聖くなして諸の工作をなさずば
25 then kings, princes, and those who sit on David's throne will come to the gates of this city in chariots and with horses, they and their leaders, men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, and this city will be inhabited forever.
ダビデの位に坐する王等牧伯たちユダの民ヱルサレムに住る者車と馬に乗てこの邑の門よりいることをえんまた此邑には限なく人すまはん
26 They will come from the cities of Judah and from all around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin and the lowlands, from the mountains, and from the Negev, bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and frankincense, thank offerings to the house of Yahweh.
また人々ユダの邑とヱルサレムの四周およびベニヤミンの地と平地と山と南の方よりきたり燔祭 犠牲 素祭 馨香 謝祭を携へてヱホバの室にいらん
27 But if you do not listen to me—to set apart the Sabbath day and to not carry heavy loads and to not enter the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day—then I will light a fire in its gates, and it will consume the fortresses of Jerusalem, and it cannot be put out.”
されど汝らもし我に聽ずして安息日を聖くせず安息日に荷をたづさへてヱルサレムの門にいらばわれ火をその門の内に燃してヱルサレムの殿舍を燬んその火は滅ざるべし
