< Jeremiah 2 >

1 And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
ヱホバの言我にのぞみていふ
2 and seide, Go thou, and crye in the eeris of Jerusalem, and seie, The Lord seith these thingis, Y hadde mynde on thee, and Y hadde merci on thee in thi yong wexynge age, and on the charite of thi spousyng, whanne thou suedist me in desert, in the lond which is not sowun.
ゆきてヱルサレムに住る者の耳につげよヱホバ斯くいふ我汝につきて汝の若き時の懇切なんぢが契をなせしときの愛曠野なる種播ぬ地にて我に從ひしことを憶ゆと
3 Israel was hooli to the Lord, the firste of fruytis of hym; alle men that deuouren that Israel, trespassen; yuelis schulen come on hem, seith the Lord.
イスラエルはヱホバの聖物にしてその初に結べる實なりすべて之を食ふものは罰せられ災にあふべしとヱホバ云ひたまへり
4 The hous of Jacob, and alle the lynagis of the hous of Israel, here ye the word of the Lord.
ヤコブの家とイスラエルの家の諸の族よヱホバの言をきけ
5 The Lord seith these thingis, What of wickidnesse foundun youre fadris in me, for thei yeden fer awey fro me, and yeden after vanyte, and weren maad veyn?
ヱホバかくいひたまふ汝等の先祖は我に何の惡事ありしを見て我に遠かり 虛しき物にしたがひて虛しくなりしや
6 And thei seiden not, Where is the Lord, that made vs to stie fro the lond of Egipt, that ledde vs ouer thorou desert, bi the lond vnabitable and with out weie, bi the lond of thirst, and bi the ymage of deeth, bi the lond in whiche a man yede not, nether a man dwellide.
かれらは我儕をエジプトの地より導きいだし曠野なる岩穴ある荒たる地 旱きたる死の蔭の地 人の過ぎざる地 人の住はざる地を通らしめしヱホバはいづこにあるといはざりき
7 And Y brouyte you in to the lond of Carmele, that ye schulden ete the fruyt therof, and the goodis therof; and ye entriden, and defouliden my lond, and settiden myn eritage in to abhomynacioun.
われ汝等を導きて園のごとき地にいれ其實と佳物をくらはしめたり然ど汝等此處にいり我地を汚し我產業を憎むべきものとなせり
8 Preestis seiden not, Where is the Lord? and thei that helden the lawe, knewen not me; and scheepherdis trespassiden ayens me, and profetis profesieden in Baal, and sueden idols.
祭司はヱホバは何處にいますといはず律法をあつかふ者は我を知らず牧者は我に背き預言者はバアルによりて預言し益なきものに從へり
9 Therfor yit Y schal stryue with you in doom, seith the Lord, and Y schal dispute with youre sones.
故にわれ尚汝等とあらそはん且汝の子孫とあらそふべしとヱホバいひたまふ
10 Go ye to the ilis of Cethym, and se ye; and sende ye in to Cedar, and biholde ye greetli; and se ye,
汝等キッテムの諸島にわたりて觀よまた使者をケダルにつかはし斯のごとき事あるや否やを詳細に察せしめよ
11 if siche a thing is doon, if a folk chaungide hise goddis; and certeynli thei ben no goddis; but my puple chaungide hise glorie in to an ydol.
その神を神にあらざる者に易たる國ありや然るに我民はその榮を益なき物にかへたり
12 Heuenes, be ye astonyed on this thing, and, ye yatis of heuene, be ye desolat greetli, seith the Lord.
天よこの事を驚け慄けいたく怖れよとヱホバいひたまふ
13 For whi my puple hath don tweyne yuels; thei han forsake me, the welle of quyke watir, and han diggid to hem cisternes, `that weren distried, that moun not holde watris.
蓋わが民はふたつの惡事をなせり即ち活る水の源なる我をすて自己水溜を掘れりすなはち壞れたる水溜にして水を有たざる者なり
14 Whether Israel is a boond man, ether is borun boonde?
イスラエルはしもべなるか家にうまれし僕なるかいかにして擄掠となれるや
15 Whi therfor is he maad in to prey? Liouns roriden on hym, and yauen her vois; thei han set the londe of hym in to wildernesse, the citees of him ben brent, and noon is that dwellith in tho.
わかき獅子かれにむかひて哮えその聲をあげてその地を荒せりその諸邑は焚れて住む人なし
16 Also the sones of Menfis and of Tafnys han defoulid thee, `til to the cop of the heed.
ノフとタパネスの諸子も汝の頭首の髮をくらはん
17 Whether this is not don to thee, for thou forsokist thi Lord God, in that tyme in which he ledde thee bi the weie?
汝の神ヱホバの汝を途にみちびきたまへる時に汝これを棄たるによりて此事汝におよぶにあらずや
18 And now what wolt thou to thee in the weie of Egipt, that thou drynke troblid watir? And what is to thee with the weie of Assiriens, that thou drynke water of the flood?
汝ナイルの水を飮んとてエジプトの路にあるは何ゆゑぞまた河の水を飮んとてアツスリヤの路にあるは何故ぞ
19 Thi malice schal repreue thee, and thi turnyng awei schal blame thee; wite thou and se, that it is yuel and bittir that thou hast forsake thi Lord God, and that his drede is not at thee, seith the Lord God of oostis.
汝の惡は汝をこらしめ汝の背は汝をせめん斯く汝が汝の神ヱホバをすてたると我を畏るることの汝の衷にあらざるとは惡く且つ苦きことなるを汝見てしるべしと主なる萬軍のヱホバいひ給ふ
20 Fro the world thou hast broke my yok, thou hast broke my bondis, and seidist, Y schal not serue. For thou hoore didist hordom in ech hiy litil hil, and vndur ech tree ful of bowis.
汝昔より汝の軛ををり汝の縛を截ちていひけるは我つかふることをせじと即ち汝すべての高山のうへと諸の靑木の下に妓女のごとく身をかがめたり
21 Forsothe Y plauntide thee a chosun vyner, al trewe seed; hou therfor art thou, alien vyner, turned to me in to a schrewid thing?
われ汝を植て佳き葡萄の樹となし全き眞の種となせしにいかなれば汝われに向ひて異なる葡萄の樹の惡き枝にかはりしや
22 Thouy thou waischist thee with fulleris clei, and multypliest to thee the erbe borith, thou art defoulid in thi wickidnesse bifore me, seith the Lord God.
たとひ嚥哘をもて自ら濯ひまたおほくの灰汁を加ふるも汝の惡はわが前に汚れたりと主ヱホバいひ給ふ
23 Hou seist thou, Y am not defoulid, Y yede not aftir Baalym? Se thi weies in the greet valei, wite thou what thou hast do; a swifte rennere ordeynynge hise weies.
汝いかで我は汚れずバアルに從はざりしといふことを得んや汝谷の中のおこなひを觀よ汝のなせしことを知れ汝は疾走るわかき牝の駱駝にしてその途にさまよへり
24 A wielde asse customable in wildirnesse drow the wynd of his loue in the desire of his soule; no man schal turne awei it. Alle that seken it, schulen not faile; thei schulen fynde it in the flux of vncleene blood therof.
汝は曠野になれたる野の牝驢馬なり其欲のために風にあへぐその欲のうごくときは誰かこれをとどめえん凡てこれを尋る者は自ら勞するにおよばすその月の中に之にあふべし
25 Forbede thi foot fro nakidnesse, and thi throte fro thirst; and thou seidist, Y dispeiride, Y schal not do; for Y louede brennyngli alien goddis, and Y schal go aftir hem.
汝足をつつしみて跣足にならざるやうにし喉をつつしみて渇かぬやうにせよしかるに汝いふ是は徒然なり然りわれ異なる國の者を愛してこれに從ふなりと
26 As a theef is schent, whanne he is takun, so the hous of Israel ben schent; thei, and kyngis of hem, the princes, and prestis, and the prophetis of hem,
盜人の執へられて恥辱をうくるがごとくイスラエルの家恥辱をうく彼等その王その牧伯その祭司その預言者みな然り
27 that seien to a tree, Thou art my fadir; and to a stoon, Thou hast gendrid me. Thei turneden to me the bak, and not the face; and in the tyme of her turment thei schulen seie, Ryse thou, and delyuere vs.
彼等木にむかひて汝は我父なりといひまた石にむかひて汝は我を生みたりといふ彼等は背を我にむけて其面をわれに向けずされど彼等災にあふときは起てわれらを救ひ給へといふ
28 Where ben thi goddis, whiche thou madist to thee? Rise thei, and delyuere thee in the tyme of thi turment; for aftir the noumbre of thi citees weren thi goddis, thou Juda.
汝がおのれの爲に造りし神はいづこにあるやもし汝が災にあふときかれら汝を救ふを得ば起つべきなりそはユダよ汝の神は汝の邑の數に同じければなり
29 What wolen ye stryue with me in doom? Alle ye han forsake me, seith the Lord.
汝等なんぞ我とあらそふや汝らは皆我に背けりとヱホバいひ給ふ
30 In veyn Y smoot youre sones, thei resseyueden not chastisyng; youre swerd deuouride youre prophetis, youre generacioun is distried as a lioun.
我が汝らの衆子を打しは益なかりき彼等は懲治をうけず汝等の劍は猛き獅子のごとく汝等の預言者を滅せり
31 Se ye the word of the Lord, whether Y am maad a wildirnesse to Israel, ether a lond late bryngynge forth fruyt? Whi therfor seide my puple, We han go awei, we schulen no more come to thee?
なんぢらこの世の人よヱホバの言をきけ我はイスラエルのために曠野となりしや暗き地となりしや何故にわが民はわれら徘徊りて復汝に來らじといふや
32 Whethir a virgyn schal foryete hir ournement? and a spousesse `schal foryete hir brest girdil? But mi puple hath foryete me bi daies with out noumbre.
それ處女はその飾物を忘れんや新婦はその帶をわすれんや然ど我民の我を忘れたる日は數へがたし
33 What enforsist thou to schewe thi weie good to seke loue, which ferthermore bothe hast tauyt thi malices thi weies,
汝愛を得んとて如何に汝の途を美くするぞよされば汝の行はあしき事を爲すに慣たり
34 and the blood of pore men and innocentis is foundun in thi wyngis? Y fond not hem in dichis, but in alle thingis whiche Y remembride bifore.
また汝の裾に辜なき貧者の生命の血ありわれ盜人の穿たる所にて之を見ずしてすべて此等の上にこれを見る
35 And thou seidist, Y am with out synne and innocent; and therfor thi stronge veniaunce be turned awei fro me. Lo! Y schal stryue with thee in doom; for thou seidist, Y synnede not.
されど汝いふわれは辜なし故にその怒はかならず我に臨まじとみよ汝われ罪を犯さざりしといふにより我汝とあらそふべし
36 Hou vijl art thou maad, rehersynge thi weies? and thou schalt be schent of Egipt, as thou were schent of Assur.
なんぢ何故にその途を易んとて迅くはしるや汝アツスリヤに恥辱をうけしごとくエジプトにも亦恥辱をうけん
37 For whi and thou schalt go out of this lond, and thin hondis schulen be on thin heed; for whi the Lord hath al to-broke thi trist, and thou schalt haue no thing to prosperite.
汝兩手を頭に置てかしこよりも出去らんそはヱホバ汝のたのむところの者を棄れば汝彼等によりて望を遂ること無るべければなり
