Lamentations 2
1 How has the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger! He has cast the beauty of Israel down from heaven to the earth, and hasn’t remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.
ああヱホバ震怒をおこし 黒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 all the dwellings of Jacob without pity. He has thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah. He has brought them down to the ground. He has profaned the kingdom and its princes.
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 He has cut off all the horn of Israel in fierce anger. He has drawn back his right hand from before the enemy. He has burned up Jacob like a flaming fire, which devours all around.
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 He has bent his bow like an enemy. He has stood with his right hand as an adversary. He has killed all that were pleasant to the eye. 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 as an enemy. He has swallowed up Israel. He has swallowed up all her palaces. He has destroyed his strongholds. He has multiplied mourning and lamentation in 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 violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were a garden. He has destroyed his place of assembly. The LORD has caused solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion. In the indignation of his anger, he has despised the king and the priest.
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 cast off his altar. He has abhorred his sanctuary. He has given the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have made a noise in the LORD’s house, as in the day of a solemn assembly.
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 The LORD has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion. He has stretched out the line. He has not withdrawn his hand from destroying; He has made the rampart and wall lament. They languish together.
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 her bars. Her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is not. Yes, her prophets find no vision from the LORD.
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. They keep silence. They have cast up dust on their heads. They have clothed themselves with sackcloth. The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
シオンの女の長老等は地に坐りて黙し 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 fail with tears. My heart is troubled. My bile is poured on the earth, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the young children and the infants swoon 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えなんとすればなり
12 They ask their mothers, “Where is grain and wine?” when they swoon as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul is poured out into their mothers’ bosom.
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 shall I testify to you? What shall I liken to you, daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to you, that I may comfort you, virgin daughter of Zion? For your breach is as big 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 foolish visions for you. They have not uncovered your iniquity, to reverse your captivity, but have seen for you false revelations and causes of banishment.
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 that pass by clap their hands at you. They hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, “Is this the city that men called ‘The perfection of beauty, the joy of the whole 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 have opened their mouth wide against you. They hiss and gnash their teeth. They say, “We have swallowed her up. Certainly this is the day that we looked for. We have found it. We have seen 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 The LORD has done that which he planned. He has fulfilled his word that he commanded in the days of old. He has thrown down, and has not pitied. He has caused the enemy to rejoice over you. He has exalted the horn of your adversaries.
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 to the Lord. O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night. Give yourself no relief. Don’t let your eyes rest.
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 watches! Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, who faint for hunger at the head 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 “Look, LORD, and see to whom you have done thus! Should the women eat their offspring, the children that they held and bounced on their knees? Should the priest and the prophet be killed 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 “The youth and the old man lie on the ground in the streets. My virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword. You have killed them in the day of your anger. You have slaughtered, and not pitied.
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 called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side. There was no one that escaped or remained in the day of the LORD’s anger. My enemy has consumed those whom I have cared for and brought up.
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
