Jeremiah 14
1 That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah concerning the matters of the dearths:
乾旱の事につきてヱレミヤにのぞみしヱホバの言は左のごとし
2 Mourned hath Judah, and her gates have languished, They have mourned to the earth, And the cry of Jerusalem hath gone up.
ユダは悲むその門は傾き地にたふれて哭くヱルサレムの咷は上る
3 And their honourable ones have sent their little ones to the water, They have come unto ditches, They have not found water, They have turned back — their vessels empty! They have been ashamed, And have blushed and covered their head.
その侯伯等は僕をつかはして水を汲しむ彼ら井にいたれども水を見ず空き器をもちて歸り恥かつ憂へてその首をおほふ
4 Because the ground hath been broken, For there hath been no rain in the land, Ashamed have been husbandmen, They have covered their head.
地に雨ふらずして土燥裂たるにより農夫は恥て首を掩ふ
5 For even the hind in the field hath brought forth — to forsake [it!] For there hath been no grass.
また野にある麀は子をうみて之を棄つ草なければなり
6 And wild asses have stood on high places, They have swallowed up wind like dragons, Consumed have been their eyes, for there is no herb.
野の驢馬は童山のうへにたちて山犬のごとく喘ぎ草なきによりて目眩む
7 Surely our iniquities have testified against us, O Jehovah, work for Thy name's sake, For many have been our backslidings, Against Thee we have sinned.
ヱホバよ我儕の罪われらを訟へて證をなすとも願くは汝の名の爲に事をなし給へ我儕の違背はおほいなり我儕汝に罪を犯したり
8 O Hope of Israel — its saviour in time of trouble, Why art Thou as a sojourner in the land? And as a traveller turned aside to lodge?
イスラエルの企望なる者その艱るときに救ひたまふ者よ汝いかなれば此地に於て他邦人のごとくし一夜寄宿の旅客のごとくしたまふや
9 Why art Thou as one dumb? As a mighty one not able to save? And Thou [art] in our midst, O Jehovah, And Thy name over us is called, leave us not.
汝いかなれば呆てをる人のごとくし救をなすこと能はざる勇士のごとくしたまふやヱホバよ汝は我らの間にいます我儕は汝の名をもて稱へらるる者なり我らを棄たまふ勿れ
10 Thus said Jehovah concerning this people: Well they have loved to wander, Their feet they have not restrained, And Jehovah hath not accepted them, Now doth He remember their iniquity, And inspect their sin.
ヱホバこの民にかくいひたまへり彼らかく好んでさまよひ其足を禁めざればヱホバ彼らを悦ばずいまその愆をおぼえ其罪を罰すべし
11 And Jehovah saith unto me: Thou dost not pray for this people for good,
ヱホバまた我にいひたまひけるは汝この民のために恩をいのる勿れ
12 When they fast, I hearken not unto their cry, And when they cause to ascend burnt-offering and present, I accept them not, For by sword, and by famine, And by pestilence, I am consuming them.
彼ら斷食するとも我その呼龥をきかず燔祭と素祭を献るとも我これをうけず却てわれ劍と饑饉と疫病をもて彼らを滅すべし
13 And I say, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah, Lo, the prophets are saying to them: Ye do not see a sword, yea, famine is not to you, For true peace I give to you in this place.'
われいひけるは嗚呼主ヱホバよみよ預言者たちはこの民にむかひ汝ら劍を見ざるべし饑饉は汝らにきたらじわれ此處に鞏固なる平安を汝らにあたへんといへり
14 And Jehovah saith unto me: Falsehood the prophets are prophesying in My name, I did not send them, nor command them, Nor have I spoken unto them: A false vision, and divination, and vanity, And the deceit of their own heart, they are prophesying to you.
ヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは預言者等は我名をもて詭を預言せりわれ之を遣さず之に命ぜずまた之にいはず彼らは虛誕の默示と卜筮と虛きことと己の心の詐を汝らに預言せり
15 Therefore, thus said Jehovah concerning the prophets who are prophesying in My name, and I have not sent them, and they are saying, Sword and famine is not in this land: By sword and by famine are these prophets consumed.
この故にかの吾が遣さざるに我名をもて預言して劍と饑饉はこの地にきたらじといへる預言者等につきてヱホバかくいふこの預言者等は劍と饑饉に滅さるべし
16 And the people to whom they are prophesying, Are cast into out-places of Jerusalem, Because of the famine, and of the sword, And they have none burying them, Them, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, And I have poured out upon them this evil.
また彼等の預言をうけし民は饑饉と劍によりてヱルサレムの街に擲棄られんこれを葬る者なかるべし彼等とその妻および其子その女みな然りそはわれ彼らの惡をその上に斟げばなり
17 And thou hast said unto them this word: Tears come down mine eyes night and day, And they do not cease, For, [with] a great breach, Broken hath been the virgin daughter of my people, A very grievous stroke.
汝この言を彼らに語るべしわが目は夜も晝もたえず涙を流さんそは我民の童女大なる滅と重き傷によりて亡さるればなり
18 If I have gone forth to the field, Then, lo, the pierced of the sword! And if I have entered the city, Then, lo, the diseased of famine! For both prophet and priest have gone up and down Unto a land that they knew not.
われ出て畑にゆくに劍に死る者あり我邑にいるに饑饉に艱むものあり預言者も祭司もみなその地にさまよひて知ところなし
19 Hast Thou utterly rejected Judah? Zion hath Thy soul loathed? Wherefore hast Thou smitten us, And there is no healing to us? Looking for peace, and there is no good, And for a time of healing, and lo, terror.
汝はユダを悉くすてたまふや汝の心はシオンをきらふや汝いかなれば我儕を撃て愈しめざるか我ら平安を望めども善ことあらず又醫さるる時を望むに却て驚懼あり
20 We have known, O Jehovah, our wickedness, The iniquity of our fathers, For we have sinned against Thee.
ヱホバよ我らはおのれの惡と先祖の愆を知るわれら汝に罪を犯したり
21 Do not despise, for Thy name's sake, Dishonour not the throne of Thine honour, Remember, break not Thy covenant with us.
汝の名のために我らを棄たまふ勿れ汝の榮の位を辱めたまふ勿れ汝のわれらに立し契約をおぼえて毀りたまふなかれ
22 Are there among the vanities of the nations any causing rain? And do the heavens give showers? Art not Thou He, O Jehovah our God? And we wait for thee, for Thou — Thou hast done all these!
異邦の虛き物の中に雨を降せうるものあるや天みづから白雨をくだすをえんや我らの神ヱホバ汝これを爲したまふにあらずや我ら汝を望むそは汝すべて此等を悉く作りたまひたればなり
