Jeremiah 49
1 About the people of Ammon, Yahweh says this, “Does Israel have no children? Is there no one to inherit anything in Israel? Why does Molech occupy Gad, and his people live in its cities?
アンモン人の事につきてヱホバかくいひたまふイスラエルに子なからんや嗣子なからんや何なれば彼らの王ガドを受嗣ぎ彼の民その邑々に住や
2 So look, the days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will sound the signal for battle against Rabbah among the people of Ammon, so it will become a deserted heap and its villages will be set on fire. For Israel will possess those who possessed him,” says Yahweh.
ヱホバいひたまふ是故に視よわが戰鬪の號呼をアンモン人のラバに聞えしむる日いたらんラバは荒垤となりその女等は火に焚れんその時イスラエルはおのれの嗣者となりし者等の嗣者となるべしヱホバこれをいひたまふ
3 “Howl in lament, Heshbon, for Ai will be devastated! Shout out, daughters of Rabbah! Put on sackcloth. Lament and run about in futility, for Molech is going into captivity, together with his priests and leaders.
ヘシボンよ咷べアイは滅びたりラバの女たちよ呼はれ麻布を身にまとひ嗟て籬のうちに走れマルカムとその祭司およびその牧伯等は偕に擄へ移されたり
4 Why do you brag about your valleys, your valleys that are so fruitful, faithless daughter? you who trust in your wealth and say, 'Who will come against me?'
汝何なれば谷の事を誇るや背ける女よ汝の谷は流るるなり汝財貨に倚賴みていふ誰か我に來らんと
5 See, I am about to bring terror on you—this is the declaration of Lord Yahweh of hosts— this terror will come from all those who surround you. Each one of you will be scattered before it. There will be no one to gather those running away.
主なる萬軍のヱホバいひたまふ視よ我畏懼を汝の四周の者より汝に來らしめん汝らおのおの逐れて直にすすまん逃る者を集むる人無るべし
6 But after this I will restore the fortunes of the people of Ammon—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
然ど後にいたりてわれアンモン人の擄移されたる者を返さんとヱホバいひたまふ
7 About Edom, Yahweh of hosts says this, “Is there no longer any wisdom to be found in Teman? Has good advice disappeared from those who have understanding? Has their wisdom become corrupted?
エドムの事につきて萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふテマンの中には智慧あることなきにいたりしや明哲者には謀略あらずなりしやその智慧は盡はてしや
8 Flee! Turn back! Stay in holes in the ground, inhabitants of Dedan. For I am bringing the disaster of Esau on him at the time that I punish him.
デダンに住る者よ逃よ遁れよ深く竄れよ我エサウの滅亡をかれの上にのぞませ彼を罰する時をきたらしむべし
9 If grape harvesters came to you, would they not leave a little bit behind? If thieves came in the night, would they not steal only as much as they wanted?
葡萄を斂むる者もし汝に來らば少許の果をも餘さざらんもし夜間盜人きたらばその飽まで滅さん
10 But I have stripped Esau bare. I have revealed his hiding places. So he will not be able to hide himself. His children, his brothers, and his neighbors are destroyed, and he is gone.
われエサウを裸にし又その隱處を露にせん彼は身を匿すことをえざるべしその裔も兄弟も隣舍も滅されん而して彼は在ずなるべし
11 Leave your orphans behind. I will take care of their lives, and your widows can trust in me.”
汝の孤子を遺せわれ之を生存へしめん汝の嫠は我に倚賴むべし
12 For Yahweh says this, “See, those who did not deserve it must certainly drink some of the cup. Do you yourself think you will go without punishment? You will not, for you will certainly drink.
ヱホバかくいひ給ふ視よ杯を飮べきにあらざる者もこれを飮ざるをえざるなれば汝まつたく罰を免るることをえんや汝は罰を免れじ汝これを飮ざるべからず
13 For I have sworn by myself—this is Yahweh's declaration—that Bozrah will become a horror, a disgrace, a devastation, and an object for cursing. All of its cities will become devastations forever.
ヱホバいひたまふ我おのれを指して誓ふボズラは詫異となり羞辱となり荒地となり呪詛とならんその諸邑は永く荒地となるべし
14 I have heard news from Yahweh, and a messenger has been sent out to the nations, 'Gather together and attack her. Get ready for battle.'
われヱホバより音信をきけり使者遣されて萬國にいたり汝ら集りて彼に攻めきたり起て戰へよといへり
15 “For see, I have made you small compared to the other nations, despised by people.
視よわれ汝を萬國の中に小者となし人々の中に藐めらるる者となせり
16 As for your fearsomeness, your heart's pride has deceived you, inhabitants of places on the cliff, you who have occupied the highest hills so that you may make your nest high like an eagle. I will bring you down from there—this is Yahweh's declaration.
磐の隱場にすみ山の高處を占る者よ汝の恐ろしき事と汝の心の驕傲汝を欺けり汝鷹のごとくに巢を高き處に作りたれどもわれ其處より汝を取り下さんとヱホバいひたまふ
17 Edom will become a horror to everyone passing by it. Every such person will tremble and hiss because all of its disasters.
エドムは詫異とならん凡そ其處を過る者は驚きその災害のために笑ふべし
18 Like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors,” says Yahweh, “no one will live there; no person will stay there.
ヱホバいひたまふソドムとゴモラとその隣の邑々の滅しがごとく其處に住む人なく其處に宿る人の子なかるべし
19 See, he will go up like a lion from the forests of the Jordan to the green pasturelands. For I will quickly make Edom run from it, and I will put someone who will be chosen in charge of it. For who is like me, and who will summon me? What shepherd is able to resist me?”
視よ敵獅子のヨルダンの叢より上るがごとく堅き宅に攻めきたらんわれ直に彼を其處より逐奔らせわが選みたる者をその上に立てん誰か我のごとき者あらん誰か我爲に時期を定めんや孰の牧者か我前にたつことをえん
20 “So listen to the plans that Yahweh has decided against Edom, the plans that he has formed against the inhabitants of Teman. They will certainly be dragged away, even the smallest flock. Their pasturelands will be turned into ruined places.
さればエドムにつきてヱホバの謀りたまひし御謀とテマンに住る者につきて思ひたまひし思をきけ群の弱者はかならず曳ゆかれん彼かならずかれらの住宅を滅すべし
21 At the sound of their falling the earth shakes. The sound of distressed shouts is heard at the Sea of Reeds.
その傾圮の響によりて地は震ふ號咷ありその聲紅海にきこゆ
22 See, someone will attack like an eagle, and swoop down and spread his wings over Bozrah. Then on that day, the hearts of Edom's soldiers will become like the heart of a woman in birth labor.”
みよ彼鷹のごとくに上り飛びその翼をボズラの上に舒べんその日エドムの勇士の心は子を產む婦の心の如くならん
23 About Damascus: “Hamath and Arpad will be ashamed, for they have heard news of disaster. They melt away! They become as troubled as the sea, which cannot stay calm.
ダマスコの事 ハマテとアルパデは羞づそは凶き音信をきけばなり彼らは心を喪へり海の上に恐懼あり安き者なし
24 Damascus has become very weak. It turns away to flee; terror seizes it. Distress and pain seize it, like the pain of a woman giving birth.
ダマスコは弱り身をめぐらして逃んとす恐懼これに及び憂愁と痛劬子を產む婦にあるごとくこれにおよぶ
25 How has the city of praise not been forsaken, the town of my joy?
頌美ある邑我欣ぶところの邑を何なれば棄さらざるや
26 Therefore its young men will fall in its plazas, and all the fighting men will perish on that day—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts.”
さればその日に壯者は街に仆れ兵卒は悉く滅されんと萬軍のヱホバいひたまふ
27 “For I will light a fire on the wall of Damascus, and it will devour the strongholds of Ben Hadad.”
われ火をダマスコの石垣の上に燃しベネハダデの殿舍をことごとく焚くべし
28 About Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, Yahweh says this to Nebuchadnezzar (now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon was going to attack these places): “Arise and attack Kedar and destroy those people of the east.
バビロンの王ネブカデネザルが攻め撃たるケダルとハゾルの諸國の事につきて／ヱホバかくいひたまふ汝ら起てケダルに上り東の衆人を滅せ
29 Their tents and their flocks will be taken, along with their tent curtains and all of their equipment; their camels will be led away from them, and men will shout to them, “Terror is on every side!”
その幕屋とその羊の群は彼等これを取りその幕とその諸の器と駱駝とは彼等これを奪ひとらん人これに向ひ惶懼四方にありと呼るべし
30 Flee! Wander far away! Stay in holes in the ground, inhabitants of Hazor—this is Yahweh's declaration— for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has devised a plan against you. Flee! Turn back!
ヱホバいひたまふハゾルに住る者よ逃よ急に走りゆき深き處に居れバビロンの王ネブカデネザル汝らをせむる謀略を運らし汝らをせむる術計を設けたればなり
31 Arise! Attack the nation at ease, that lives in safety,” says Yahweh. “They have no gates or bars in them, and its people live by themselves.
ヱホバいひ給ふ汝ら起て穩なる安かに住める民の所に攻め上れ彼らは門もなく關もなくして獨り居ふなり
32 For their camels will become plunder, and the abundance of their property will become war plunder. Then I will scatter to every wind those who cut the corners of their hair, and I will bring disaster on them from every side—this is Yahweh's declaration.
その駱駝は擄掠とせられその多の畜は奪はれん我かの毛の角を剪る者を四方に散しその滅亡を八方より來らせんとヱホバいひたまふ
33 Hazor will become a lair of jackals, a permanent wasteland. No one will live there; no human being will stay there.”
ハゾルは山犬の窟となり何までも荒蕪となりをらん彼處に住む人なく彼處に宿る人の子なかるべし
34 This is the word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet about Elam. This happened at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, and he said,
ユダの王ゼデキヤが位に即し初のころヱホバの言預言者ヱレミヤに臨みてエラムの事をいふ
35 “Yahweh of hosts says this: See, I am about to break the bowmen of Elam, the main part of their power.
萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふ視よわれエラムが權能として賴むところの弓を折らん
36 For I will bring the four winds from the four corners of the heavens, and I will scatter the people of Elam to all of those winds. There is no nation to which those scattered from Elam will not go.
われ天の四方より四方の風をエラムに來らせ彼らを四方の風に散さんエラムより追出さるる者のいたらざる國はなかるべし
37 So I will shatter Elam before their enemies and before those who seek their lives. for I will bring disaster against them, the fury of my wrath—this is Yahweh's declaration— and I will send the sword after them until I have annihilated them.
ヱホバいひたまふわれエラムをしてその敵の前とその生命を索むるものの前に懼れしめん我災をくだし我烈しき怒をその上にいたらせんまたわれ劍をその後につかはしてこれを滅し盡すべし
38 Then I will put my throne in Elam and will destroy its king and leaders from there—this is Yahweh's declaration—
われ我位をエラムに居ゑ王と牧伯等を其處より滅したたんとヱホバいひたまふ
39 and it will happen in later days that I will bring back the fortunes of Elam—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
然ど末の日にいたりてわれエラムの擄移されたる者を返すべしとヱホバいひたまふ
