Jeremiah 19
1 Thus said Yahweh, “Go, and buy a potter’s earthen container, and take some of the elders of the people and of the elders of the priests;
ヱホバかくいひたまふ往て陶人の瓦罇をかひ民の長老と祭司の長老の中より數人をともなひて
2 and go out to the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the gate Harsith, and proclaim there the words that I will tell you.
陶人の門の前にあるベンヒンノムの谷にゆき彼處に於てわが汝に告んところの言を宣よ
3 Say, ‘Hear Yahweh’s word, kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says, “Behold, I will bring evil on this place, which whoever hears, his ears will tingle.
云くユダの王等とヱルサレムに住る者よヱホバの言をきけ萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ視よ我災を此處にくだすべし凡そ之をきく者の耳はかならず鳴らん
4 Because they have forsaken me, and have defiled this place, and have burned incense in it to other gods that they didn’t know—they, their fathers, and the kings of Judah—and have filled this place with the blood of innocents,
こは彼ら我を棄てこの處を瀆し此にて自己とその先祖およびユダの王等の知ざる他の神に香を焚き且辜なきものの血をこの處に盈せばなり
5 and have built the high places of Baal to burn their children in the fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I didn’t command, nor speak, which didn’t even enter into my mind.
又彼らはバアルの爲に崇邱を築き火をもて己の兒子を焚き燔祭となしてバアルにささげたり此わが命ぜしことにあらず我いひしことにあらず又我心に意はざりし事なり
6 Therefore, behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that this place will no more be called ‘Topheth’, nor ‘The Valley of the son of Hinnom’, but ‘The valley of Slaughter’.
ヱホバいひたまふさればみよ此處をトペテまたはベンヒンノムの谷と稱ずして屠戮の谷と稱ふる日きたらん
7 “‘“I will make the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem void in this place. I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those who seek their life. I will give their dead bodies to be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth.
また我この處に於てユダとヱルサレムの謀をむなしうし劍をもて彼らを其敵の前とその生命を索る者の手に仆しまたその屍を天空の鳥と地の獸の食物となし
8 I will make this city an astonishment and a hissing. Everyone who passes by it will be astonished and hiss because of all its plagues.
かつ此邑を荒して人の胡盧とならしめん凡そここを過る者はその諸の災に驚きて笑ふべし
9 I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters. They will each eat the flesh of his friend in the siege and in the distress with which their enemies, and those who seek their life, will distress them.”’
また彼らがその敵とその生命を索る者とに圍みくるしめらるる時我彼らをして己の子の肉女の肉を食はせん又彼らは互にその友の肉を食ふべし
10 “Then you shall break the container in the sight of the men who go with you,
汝ともに行く人の目の前にてその瓦罇を毀ちて彼らにいふべし
11 and shall tell them, ‘Yahweh of Armies says: “Even so I will break this people and this city as one breaks a potter’s vessel, that can’t be made whole again. They will bury in Topheth until there is no place to bury.
萬軍のヱホバかくいひ給ふ一回毀てば復全うすること能はざる陶人の器を毀つが如くわれ此民とこの邑を毀たんまた彼らは葬るべき地なきによりてトペテに葬られん
12 This is what I will do to this place,” says Yahweh, “and to its inhabitants, even making this city as Topheth.
ヱホバいひ給ふ我この處とこの中に住る者とに斯なし此邑をトペテの如くなすべし
13 The houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, will be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses on whose roofs they have burned incense to all the army of the sky and have poured out drink offerings to other gods.”’”
且ヱルサレムの室とユダの王等の室はトペテの處のごとく汚れん其は彼らすべての室の屋蓋のうへにて天の衆群に香をたき他の神に酒をそそげばなり
14 Then Jeremiah came from Topheth, where Yahweh had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the court of Yahweh’s house, and said to all the people:
ヱレミヤ、ヱホバの己を遣はして預言せしめたまひしトペテより歸りきたりヱホバの室の庭に立ちすべての民に語りていひけるは
15 “Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says, ‘Behold, I will bring on this city and on all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have made their neck stiff, that they may not hear my words.’”
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ視よわれ我いひし諸の災をこの邑とその諸の郷村にくださん彼らその項を強くして我言を聽ざればなり
