< Lamentations 2 >
1 The Lord has covered the daughter of Zion under the cloud of his anger. He has thrown the splendor of Israel down from heaven to earth. He has not remembered his footstool on the day of his anger.
ああヱホバ震怒をおこし 黑雲をもてシオンの女を蔽ひたまひ イスラエルの榮光を天より地におとし その震怒の日に己の足凳を心にとめたまはざりき
2 The Lord has swallowed up and has had no compassion on all the towns of Jacob. In the days of his anger he has thrown down the fortified cities of the daughter of Judah; in dishonor he has brought down to the ground the kingdom and its rulers.
主ヤコブのすべての住居を呑つくしてあはれまず 震怒によりてユダの女の保砦を毀ち これを地にたふし その國とその牧伯等を辱かしめ
3 With fierce anger he has cut off every horn of Israel. He has withdrawn his right hand from before the enemy. He has burned up Jacob like a blazing fire that devours everything around it.
烈しき震怒をもてイスラエルのすべての角を絶ち 敵の前にて己の右の手をひきちぢめ 四面を焚きつくす燃る火のごとくヤコブを焚き
4 Like an enemy he has bent his bow toward us, with his right is ready to shoot. He has slaughtered all who had been so pleasing to him in the tent of the daughter of Zion; he has poured out his wrath like fire.
敵のごとく弓を張り 仇のごとく右の手を挺て立ち 凡て目に喜こばしきものを滅し シオンの女の幕屋に火のごとくその怒をそそぎたまへり
5 The Lord has become like an enemy. He has swallowed up Israel. He has swallowed up all her palaces. He has destroyed her strongholds. He has increased mourning and lamentation within the daughter of Judah.
主敵のごとくに成たまひてイスラエルを呑ほろぼし その諸の殿を呑ほろぼし そのもろもろの保砦をこぼち ユダの女の上に憂愁と悲哀を増くはへ
6 He has attacked his tabernacle like a garden hut. He has destroyed the place of the solemn assembly. Yahweh has caused both solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion, for he has despised both king and priest in the indignation of his anger.
園のごとく己の幕屋を荒し その集會の所をほろぼしたまへり ヱホバ節會と安息日とをシオンに忘れしめ 烈しき怒によりて王と祭司とをいやしめ棄たまへり
7 The Lord has rejected his altar and disowned his sanctuary. He has given over the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have raised a shout in the house of Yahweh, as on the day of an appointed feast.
主その祭壇を忌棄て その聖所を嫌ひ憎みて その諸の殿の石垣を敵の手にわたしたまへり 彼らは節會の日のごとくヱホバの室にて聲をたつ
8 Yahweh decided to destroy the city wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out the measuring line and has not withheld his hand from destroying the wall. He has made the ramparts and wall to lament; together they wasted away.
ヱホバ、シオンの女の石垣を毀たんと思ひさだめ 繩を張り こぼち進みてその手をひかず 壕と石垣とをして哀しましめたまふ 是らは共に憂ふ
9 Her gates have sunk into the ground; he has destroyed and broken the bars of her gate. Her king and her princes are among the nations, the law is no more and her prophets find no vision from Yahweh.
その門は地に埋もれ ヱホバその關木をこぼちくだき その王ともろもろの牧伯は律法なき國人の中にあり その預言者はヱホバより異象を蒙らず
10 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground in silence. They have thrown dust on their heads and put on sackcloth. The virgins of Jerusalem have bowed their heads to the ground.
シオンの女の長老等は地に坐りて默し 首に灰をかむり 身に麻をまとふ ヱルサレムの處女は首を地に低る
11 My eyes have failed from their tears; my stomach churns; my inner parts are poured out to the ground because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, children and infants faint in the streets of the city.
わが目は涙の爲に潰れんとし わが膓は沸かへり わが肝は地に塗る わが民の女ほろぼされ 幼少ものや乳哺子は疲れはてて邑の街衢に氣息たへなんとすればなり
12 They say to their mothers, “Where is grain and wine?” as they faint like a wounded man in the streets of the city, their lives are poured out on the bosom of their mothers.
かれらは疵を負る者の如く邑のちまたにて氣息たえなんとし 母の懐にその靈魂をそそがんとし 母にむかひて言ふ 穀物と酒とはいづくにあるやと
13 What can I say to you, daughter of Jerusalem? To what can I compare to you, that I may comfort you, virgin daughter of Zion? Your wound is as great as the sea. Who can heal you?
ヱルサレムの女よ 我なにをもて汝にあかしし 何をもて汝にならべんや シオンの處女よ われ何をもて汝になぞらへて汝をなぐさめんや 汝のやぶれは海のごとく大なり 嗟たれか能く汝を醫さんや
14 Your prophets have seen false and worthless visions for you. They have not exposed your iniquity to restore your fortunes, but for you they gave utterances that are false and misleading.
なんぢの預言者は虚しき事と愚なることとなんぢに預言し かつて汝の不義をあらはしてその俘囚をまぬかれしめんとはせざりき その預言するところは唯むなしき重荷および追放たるる根本となるべき事のみ
15 All those who pass along the road clap their hands at you. They hiss and shake their heads against the daughter of Jerusalem and say, “Is this the city that they called 'The Perfection of Beauty,' 'The Joy for All of Earth'?”
すべて往來の人なんぢにむかひて手を拍ち ヱルサレムの女にむかひて嘲りわらひ かつ頭をふりて言ふ 美麗の極全地の欣喜ととなへたりし邑は是なるかと
16 All your enemies open their mouths against you. They sneer and grind their teeth in rage and say, “We have swallowed her up! This is the day we have waited for! We have lived to see it!”
なんぢのもろもろの敵はなんぢに對ひて口を開け あざけり笑ひて切齒をなす 斯て言ふわれら之を呑つくしたり 是われらが望みたりし日なり 我ら已に之にあへり 我らすでに之を見たりと
17 Yahweh has done what he planned to do. He has fulfilled his word. He has overthrown you without pity, for he has permitted the enemy to rejoice over you; he has lifted up the horn of your enemies.
ヱホバはその定めたまへることを成し いにしへより其命じたまひし言を果したまへり ヱホバはほろぼして憐れまず 敵をして汝にかちほこらしめ汝の仇の角をたかくしたまへり
18 Their heart cried out to the Lord, walls of the daughter of Zion! Make your tears flow down like a river day and night. Give yourself no relief, your eyes no relief.
かれらの心は主にむかひて呼はれり シオンの女の墻垣よ なんぢ夜も晝も河の如く涙をながせ みづから安んずることをせず 汝の瞳子を休むることなかれ
19 Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the night watches! Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift up your hands to him for the lives of your children who faint with hunger at the corner of every street.”
なんぢ夜の初更に起いでて呼さけべ 主の御前に汝の心を水のごとく灌げ 街衢のほとりに饑たふるるなんぢの幼兒の生命のために主にむかひて兩手をあげよ
20 See, Yahweh, and consider those you have dealt in this way. Should women eat the fruit of their wombs, the children whom they have cared for? Should priest and prophet be slaughtered in the sanctuary of the Lord?
ヱホバよ視たまへ 汝これを誰におこなひしか 願はくは顧みたまへ 婦人おのが實なるその懷き育てし孩兒を食ふべけんや 祭司預言者等主の聖所において殺さるべけんや
21 Both the young and the old lie on the dust of the streets. My young women and my young men have fallen by the sword; you have slaughtered them without taking pity on them.
をさなきも老たるも街衢にて地に臥し わが處女も若き男も刄にかかりて斃れたり なんぢはその震怒の日にこれを殺し これを屠りて恤れみたまはざりき
22 You have summoned, as you would call the people to a feast day, my terrors on every side, on the day of the anger of Yahweh no one escaped or survived; those I cared for and raised, my enemy has destroyed.
なんぢ節會の日のごとくわが懼るるところの者を四方より呼あつめたまへり ヱホバの震怒の日には遁れたる者なく又のこりたる者なかりき わが懷き育てし者はみなわが敵のためにほろぼされたり
