< Jeremiah 45 >
1 This is the word that Jeremiah the prophet told Baruch son of Neriah. This happened when he wrote in a scroll these words at Jeremiah's dictation—this was in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, and he said,
ユダの王ヨシヤの子ヱホヤキムの四年ネリヤの子バルクが此等の言をヱレミヤの口にしたがひて書に錄せしとき預言者ヱレミヤこれに語りていひけるは
2 “Yahweh, God of Israel, says this to you, Baruch:
バルクよイスラエルの神ヱホバ汝にかくいひ給ふ
3 You have said, 'Woe is me, for Yahweh has added agony to my pain. My groaning has wearied me; I find no rest.'
汝曾ていへり嗚呼我は禍なるかなヱホバ我憂に悲を加へたまへり我は歎きて疲れ安きをえずと
4 This is what you must say to him: 'Yahweh says this: See, what I built, I am now tearing down. What I planted, I am now pulling up—I will do this throughout all the earth.
汝かく彼に語れヱホバかくいひたまふ視よわれ我建しところの者を毀ち我植しところの者を拔ん是この全地なり
5 But are you hoping for great things for yourself? Do not hope for that. For see, disaster is coming on all humanity—this is Yahweh's declaration—but I am giving you your life as your plunder everywhere you will go.'”
汝己れの爲に大なる事を求むるかこれを求むる勿れ視よわれ災をすべての民に降さん然ど汝の生命は我汝のゆかん諸の處にて汝の掠物とならしめんとヱホバいひたまふ
