Jeremiah 1
1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, one of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin.
こはベニヤミンの地アナトテの祭司の一人なるヒルキヤの子ヱレミヤの言なり
2 The LORD’s word came to him in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
アモンの子ユダの王ヨシヤの時すなはちその治世の十三年にヱホバの言ヱレミヤに臨めり
3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
その言またヨシヤの子ユダの王ヱホヤキムの時にものぞみてヨシヤの子ユダの王ゼデキヤの十一年のをはり即ちその年の五月ヱルサレムの民の移されたる時までにいたれり
4 Now the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
ヱホバの言我にのぞみて云ふ
5 “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
われ汝を腹につくらざりし先に汝をしり汝が胎をいでざりし先に汝を聖め汝をたてて萬國の預言者となせりと
6 Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I don’t know how to speak; for I am a child.”
我こたへけるは噫主ヱホバよ視よわれは幼少により語ることを知らず
7 But the LORD said to me, “Don’t say, ‘I am a child;’ for you must go to whomever I send you, and you must say whatever I command you.
ヱホバわれにいひたまひけるは汝われは幼少といふ勿れすべて我汝を遣すところにゆき我汝に命ずるすべてのことを語るべし
8 Don’t be afraid because of them, for I am with you to rescue you,” says the LORD.
なんぢ彼等の面を畏るる勿れ蓋われ汝と偕にありて汝をすくふべければなりとヱホバいひたまへり
9 Then the LORD stretched out his hand and touched my mouth. Then the LORD said to me, “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.
ヱホバ遂にその手をのべて我口につけヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは視よわれ我言を汝の口にいれたり
10 Behold, I have today set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to uproot and to tear down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.”
みよ我けふ汝を萬民のうへと萬國のうへにたて汝をして或は抜き或は毀ち或は滅し或は覆し或は建て或は植しめん
11 Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.”
ヱホバの言また我に臨みていふヱレミヤよ汝何をみるや我こたへけるは巴旦杏の枝をみる
12 Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well; for I watch over my word to perform it.”
ヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは汝善く見たりそはわれ速に我言をなさんとすればなり
13 The LORD’s word came to me the second time, saying, “What do you see?” I said, “I see a boiling cauldron; and it is tipping away from the north.”
ヱホバの言ふたたび我に臨みていふ汝何をみるや我こたへけるは沸騰たる鑊をみるその面は北より此方に向ふ
14 Then the LORD said to me, “Out of the north, evil will break out on all the inhabitants of the land.
ヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは災北よりおこりてこの地に住るすべての者にきたらん
15 For behold, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north,” says the LORD. “They will come, and they will each set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls all around, and against all the cities of Judah.
ヱホバいひたまひけるはわれ北の國々のすべての族をよばん彼等きたりてヱルサレムの門の入口とその周圍のすべての石垣およびユダのすべての邑々に向ひておのおのその座を設けん
16 I will utter my judgments against them concerning all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, and worshiped the works of their own hands.
われかれらの凡の惡事のために我鞫をかれにつげん是はかれら我をすてて別の神に香を焚きおのれの手にて作りし物を拝するによる
17 “You therefore put your belt on your waist, arise, and say to them all that I command you. Don’t be dismayed at them, lest I dismay you before them.
汝腰に帶して起ちわが汝に命ずるすべての事を彼等につげよその面を畏るる勿れ否らざれば我かれらの前に汝を辱かしめん
18 For behold, I have made you today a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.
視よわれ今日この全國とユダの王とその牧伯とその祭司とその地の民の前に汝を堅き城 鐵の柱 銅の牆となせり
19 They will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you”, says the LORD, “to rescue you.”
彼等なんぢと戰はんとするも汝に勝ざるべしそはわれ汝とともにありて汝をすくふべければなりとヱホバいひたまへり
