Jeremiah 11
1 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying:
ヱホバよりヱレミヤにのぞめる言いふ
2 'Hear ye the words of this covenant, and ye have spoken unto the men of Judah, and unto the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
汝らこの契約の言をききユダの人とヱルサレムにすめる者に告よ
3 and thou hast said unto them, Thus said Jehovah God of Israel: Cursed [is] the man who doth not obey the words of this covenant,
汝かれらに語れイスラエルの神ヱホバかくいひたまふこの契約の言に遵はざる人は詛はる
4 That I commanded your fathers, In the day of My bringing them out from the land of Egypt, Out of the iron furnace, saying, Hearken to My voice, and ye have done them, According to all that I command you, And ye have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for God,
この契約はわが汝らの先祖をエジプトの地鐵の爐の中より導き出せし日にかれらに命ぜしものなり即ち我いひけらく汝ら我聲をきき我汝らに命ぜし諸の事に從ひて行はば汝らは我民となり我は汝らの神とならん
5 In order to establish the oath that I have sworn to your fathers, To give to them a land flowing with milk and honey, as this day. And I answer and say, 'Amen, O Jehovah.'
われ汝らの先祖に乳と蜜の流るる地を與へんと誓ひしことを成就んと即ち今日のごとしその時我こたへてアーメン、ヱホバといへり
6 And Jehovah saith unto me, 'Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: Hear ye the words of this covenant, And ye have done them.
またヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは汝すべて此等の言をユダの諸邑とヱルサレムの衢にしめし汝ら此契約の言をききてこれを行へといふべし
7 For I certainly testified against your fathers, In the day of My bringing them up out of the land of Egypt — till this day, Rising early and testifying, saying, Hearken to My voice,
われ汝らの列祖をエジプトの地より導出せし日より今日にいたるまで切に彼らを戒め頻に戒めて汝ら我聲に遵へといへり
8 And they have not hearkened nor inclined their ear, And they walk each in the stubbornness of their evil heart, And I bring on them all the words of this covenant, That I commanded to do, and they did not.'
然ど彼らは遵はずその耳を傾けずおのおの其惡き心の剛愎なるにしたがひて歩めり故にわれ此契約の言を彼等にきたらす是はわがかれらに之を行へと命ぜしかども彼等がおこなはざりし者なり
9 And Jehovah saith unto me: 'A conspiracy is found in the men of Judah, And in the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
またヱホバ我にいひたまひけるはユダの人々とヱルサレムに住る者の中に叛逆の事あり
10 They have turned back to the iniquities of their first fathers, Who refused to hear My words, And they have gone after other gods to serve them, The house of Israel, and the house of Judah, Have made void My covenant, that I made with their fathers.
彼らは我言をきくことを好まざりしところのその先祖の罪にかへり亦他の神に從ひて之に奉へたりイスラエルの家とユダの家はわがその列祖たちと締たる契約をやぶれり
11 Therefore thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am bringing in unto them evil, That they are not able to go out from, And they have cried unto Me, And I do not hearken unto them.
この故にヱホバかくいひ給ふみよわれ災禍をかれらにくださん彼らこれを免かるることをえざるべし彼ら我をよぶとも我聽じ
12 And the cities of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem have gone, And they have cried unto the gods, To whom they are making perfume, And they give no deliverance at all to them, In the time of their vexation.
ユダの邑とヱルサレムに住る者はゆきてその香を焚し神を龥んされど是等はその災禍の時に絕てかれらを救ふことあらじ
13 For — the number of thy cities have been thy gods, O Judah, And — the number of the streets of Jerusalem Ye have placed altars to a shameful thing, Altars to make perfume to Baal.
ユダよ汝の神の數は汝の邑の數のごとし且汝らヱルサレムの衢の數にしたがひて恥べき者に壇をたてたり即ちバアルに香を焚んとて壇をたつ
14 And thou, thou dost not pray for this people, Nor dost thou lift up for them cry and prayer, For I do not hearken in the time of their calling unto Me for their vexation.
故に汝この民の爲に祈る勿れ又その爲に泣きあるひは求る勿れ彼らがその災禍のために我を呼ときわれ彼らに聽ざるべし
15 What — to My beloved in My house, Her doing wickedness with many, And the holy flesh do pass over from thee? When thou dost evil, then thou exultest.
わが愛する者は我室にて何をなすや惡き謀をなすや願と聖き肉汝に災を脱れしむるやもし然らば汝よろこぶべし
16 'An olive, green, fair, of goodly fruit,' Hath Jehovah called thy name, At the noise of a great tumult He hath kindled fire against it, And broken have been its thin branches.
ヱホバ汝の名を嘉果ある美しき靑橄欖の樹と稱たまひしがおほいなる喧嚷の聲をもて之に火をかけ且その枝を折りたまふ
17 And Jehovah of Hosts, who is planting thee, Hath spoken evil concerning thee, For the evil of the house of Israel, and of the house of Judah, That they have done to themselves, To provoke Me to anger, to make perfume to Baal.
汝を植し萬軍のヱホバ汝の災をさだめ給へりこれイスラエルの家とユダの家みづから害ふの惡をなしたるによるなり即ちバアルに香を焚きてわれを怒らせたり
18 And, O Jehovah, cause me to know, and I know, Then Thou hast showed me their doings.
ヱホバ我に知せたまひければ我これを知るその時汝彼らの作爲を我にしめしたまへり
19 And I [am] as a trained lamb brought to slaughter, And I have not known That against me they have devised devices: We destroy the tree with its food, and cut him off From the land of the living, And his name is not remembered again.
我は牽れて宰られにゆく羔の如く彼らが我をそこなはんとて謀をなすを知ず彼らいふいざ我ら樹とその果とを共に滅さんかれを生る者の地より絕てその名を人に忘れしむべしと
20 And O Jehovah of Hosts, judging righteousness, Trying reins and heart, I do see Thy vengeance against them, For unto Thee I have revealed my cause.'
義き鞫をなし人の心腸を察りたまふ萬軍のヱホバよ我わが訴を汝にのべたればわれをして汝が彼らに仇を報すを見せしめたまへ
21 Therefore, thus said Jehovah concerning the men of Anathoth, who are seeking thy life, saying: Do not prophesy in the name of Jehovah, And thou dost not die by our hands.
是をもてヱホバ、アナトテの人々につきてかくいひたまふ彼等汝の生命を取んと索めて言ふ汝ヱホバの名をもて預言する勿れ恐らくは汝我らの手に死んと
22 Therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts: 'Lo, I am seeing after them, The chosen ones die by sword, Their sons and their daughters die by famine,
故に萬軍のヱホバかくいひ給ふみよ我かれらを罰すべし壯丁は劍に死にその子女は饑饉にて死なん
23 And they have no remnant, For I bring evil unto the men of Anathoth, The year of their inspection!'
餘る者なかるべし我災をアナトテの人々にきたらしめわが彼らを罰するの年をきたらしめん
