Jeremiah 12
1 Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me speak with thee of [thy] judgments: Why doth the way of the wicked prosper? [why] are they all happy that deal very treacherously?
ヱホバよわが汝と爭ふ時に汝は義し惟われ鞫の事につきて汝と言ん惡人の途のさかえ悖れる者のみな福なるは何故ぞや
2 Thou hast planted them, yes, they have taken root: they grow, yes, they bring forth fruit: thou [art] near in their mouth, and far from their reins.
汝かれらを植たり彼らは根づき成長て實を結べりその口は汝に近けどもその心は汝に遠ざかる
3 But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried my heart towards thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
ヱホバ汝われを知り我を見またわが心の汝にむかひて何なるかを試みたまふ羊を宰りに牽いだすがごとく彼らを牽いだし殺す日の爲にかれらをそなへたまへ
4 How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He will not see our last end.
いつまでこの地は哭きすべての畑の蔬菜は枯をるべけんやこの地に住る者の惡によりて畜獸と鳥は滅さる彼らいふ彼は我らの終をみざるべしと
5 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and [if] in the land of peace, [in which] thou hast trusted, [they wearied thee], then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
汝もし歩行者とともに趨てつかれなばいかで騎馬者と競はんや汝平安なる地を恃まばいかでヨルダンの傍の叢に居ることをえんや
6 For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yes, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words to thee.
汝の兄弟と汝の父の家も汝を欺きまた大聲をあげて汝を追ふかれらしたしく汝に語るともこれを信ずる勿れ
7 I have forsaken my house, I have left my heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
われ我家を離れわが產業をすて我靈魂の愛するところの者をその敵の手にわたせり
8 My heritage is to me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it.
わが產業は林の獅子のごとし我にむかひて其聲を揚ぐ故にわれ之を惡めり
9 My heritage [is] to me [as] a speckled bird, the birds around [are] against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.
我產業は我におけること班駁ある鳥のごとくならずや鳥之を圍むにあらずや野のすべての獸きたりあつまれ來てこれを食へ
10 Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
衆の牧者わが葡萄園をほろぼしわが地を踐踏しわがうるはしき地を荒野となせり
11 They have made it desolate, [and being] desolate it mourneth to me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth [it] to heart.
彼らこれを荒地となせりその荒地我にむかひて哭くなり一人もかへりみる者なければこの全地は荒たり
12 The spoilers have come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of the LORD shall devour from the [one] end of the land even to the other [end] of the land: no flesh shall have peace.
毀滅者は野のすべての童山のうへに來れりヱホバの劍地のこの極よりかの極までを滅ぼすすべて血氣ある者は安をえず
13 They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, [but] shall not profit; and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
彼らは麥を播て荊棘をかる勞れども得るところなし汝らはその作物のために恥るにいたらん是ヱホバの烈き怒によりてなり
14 Thus saith the LORD against all my evil neighbors, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.
わがイスラエルの民に嗣しむる產業をせむるところのすべてのわが惡き隣にむかひてヱホバかくいふみよわれ彼等をその地より拔出しまたユダの家を彼らの中より拔出すべし
15 And it shall come to pass, after I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
われ彼らを拔出せしのちまた彼らを恤みておのおのを其產業にかへし各人をその地に歸らしめん
16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people.
彼等もし我民の道をまなび我名をさしてヱホバは活くと誓ふこと嘗て我民を敎へてバアルを指て誓はしめし如くせば彼らはわが民の中に建らるべし
17 But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD.
されど彼らもし聽かざれば我かならずかかる民を全く拔出して滅すべしとヱホバいひたまふ
