Jeremiah 22
1 Thus said Jehovah, 'Go down [to] the house of the king of Judah, and thou hast spoken there this word, and hast said,
ヱホバかくいひたまへり汝ユダの王の室にくだり彼處にこの言をのべていへ
2 Hear a word of Jehovah, O king of Judah, who art sitting on the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people, who are coming in at these gates,
ダビデの位に坐するユダの王よ汝と汝の臣および此門よりいる汝の民ヱホバの言をきけ
3 Thus said Jehovah: Do ye judgment and righteousness, And deliver the plundered from the hand of the oppressor, And sojourner, orphan, and widow, ye do not oppress nor wrong, And innocent blood ye do not shed in this place.
ヱホバかくいふ汝ら公道と公義を行ひ物を奪はるる人をその暴虐者の手より救ひ異邦人と孤子と嫠婦をなやまし虐ぐる勿れまた此處に無辜の血を流す勿れ
4 For, if ye certainly do this thing, Then come in by the gates of this house Have kings sitting for David on his throne, Riding on chariot, and on horses, He, and his servants, and his people.
汝らもし此言を眞に行はばダビデの位に坐する王とその臣および其民は車と馬に乗てこの室の門にいることをえん
5 And if ye do not hear these words, By myself I have sworn — an affirmation of Jehovah, That this house is for a desolation.
然ど汝らもし此言を聽ずばわれ自己を指して誓ふ此室は荒地となるべしとヱホバいひたまふ
6 For thus said Jehovah, Concerning the house of the king of Judah: Gilead [art] thou to Me — head of Lebanon, If not — I make thee a wilderness, Cities not inhabited.
ヱホバ、ユダの王の家につきてかく曰たまふ汝は我におけることギレアデのごとくレバノンの巓のごとし然どわれかならず汝を荒野となし人の住はざる邑となさん
7 And I have separated for thee destroyers, Each with his weapons, And they have cut down the choice of thy cedars, And have cast them on the fire.
われ破壞者をまふけて汝を攻めしめん彼ら各人その武器を執り汝の美しき香柏を斫てこれを火に投いれん
8 And many nations have passed by this city, And they have said, each to his neighbour, For what hath Jehovah done thus to this great city?
多の國の人此邑をすぎ互に語てヱホバ何なれば此大なる邑にかく爲せしやといはんに
9 And they have said, 'Because that they have forsaken The covenant of Jehovah their God, And bow themselves to other gods, and serve them.'
人こたへて是は彼等其神ヱホバの契約をすてて他の神を拜し之に奉へしに由なりといはん
10 Ye do not weep for the dead, nor bemoan for him, Weep ye sore for the traveller, For he doth not return again, Nor hath he seen the land of his birth.
死者の爲に泣くことなくまた之が爲に嗟くこと勿れ寧擄へ移されし者の爲にいたく嗟くべし彼は再び歸てその故園を見ざるべければなり
11 For thus said Jehovah concerning Shallum son of Josiah king of Judah, who is reigning instead of Josiah his father, who hath gone forth from this place: He doth not turn back hither again;
ユダの王ヨシヤの子シヤルム即ちその父に繼で王となりて遂に此處をいでたる者につきてヱホバかくいひたまへり彼は再び此處に歸らじ
12 For in the place whither they have removed him he dieth, And this land he doth not see again.
彼はその移されし處に死んふたたび此地を見ざるべし
13 Woe to him who is building his house by unrighteousness, And his upper chambers by injustice, On his neighbour he layeth service for nought, And his wage he doth not give to him.
不義をもて其室をつくり不法をもて其樓を造り其隣人を傭て何をも與へず其價を拂はざる者は禍なるかな
14 Who is saying, 'I build for myself a large house, And airy upper chambers,' And he hath cut out for himself its windows, Ceiled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
彼いふ我己の爲に廣厦と涼しき樓をつくり又己の爲に窓を造り香柏をもて之を蔽ひ赤く之を塗んと
15 Dost thou reign, because thou art fretting thyself in cedar? Thy father — did he not eat and drink? Yea, he did judgment and righteousness, Then [it is] well with him.
汝香柏を爭ひもちふるによりて王たるを得るか汝の父は食飮せざりしや公義と公道を行ひて福を得ざりしや
16 He decided the cause of the poor and needy, Then [it is] well — is it not to know Me? An affirmation of Jehovah.
彼は貧者と患艱者の訟を理して祥をえたりかく爲すは我を識ことに非ずやとヱホバいひ給ふ
17 But thine eyes and thy heart are not, Except on thy dishonest gain, And on shedding of innocent blood, And on oppression, and on doing of violence.
然ど汝の目と心は惟貪をなさんとし無辜の血を流さんとし虐遇と暴逆をなさんとするのみ
18 Therefore, thus said Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: They do not lament for him, Ah, my brother, and Ah, sister, They do not lament for him, Ah, lord, and Ah, his honour.
故にヱホバ、ユダの王のヨシヤの子ヱホヤキムにつきてかく曰たまふ衆人は哀しいかな我兄かなしいかな我姊といひて嗟かず又哀しいかな主よ哀しいかな其榮と曰て嗟かじ
19 The burial of an ass — he is buried, Dragged and cast out thence to the gates of Jerusalem.
彼は驢馬を埋るがごとく埋られん即ち曳れてヱルサレムの門の外に投棄らるべし
20 Go up to Lebanon, and cry, And in Bashan give forth thy voice, And cry from Abarim, For destroyed have been all loving thee.
汝レバノンに登りて呼ばはりバシヤンに汝の聲を揚げアバリムより呼はれ其は汝の愛する者悉く滅されたればなり
21 I have spoken unto thee in thine ease, Thou hast said, 'I do not hearken,' This [is] thy way from thy youth, For thou hast not hearkened to My voice.
汝の平康なる時我汝に語しかども汝は我にきかじといへり汝いとけなき時よりわが聲を聽ずこれ汝の故習なり
22 All thy friends consume doth wind, And thy lovers into captivity do go, Surely then thou art ashamed, And hast blushed for all thy wickedness.
汝の牧者はみな風に呑つくされ汝の愛する者はとらへ移されん其時汝はおのれの諸の惡のために痛く恥べし
23 O dweller in Lebanon, making a nest among cedars, How gracious hast thou been when pangs come to thee, Pain — as of a travailing woman.
汝レバノンにすみ巢を香柏につくる者よ汝の劬勞子を產む婦の痛苦のごとくにきたらんとき汝の哀慘はいかにぞや
24 I live — an affirmation of Jehovah, Though Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah Were a seal on My right hand, Surely thence I draw thee away,
ヱホバいひたまふ我は活くユダの王ヱホヤキムの子ヱコニヤは我右の手の指環なれども我これを拔ん
25 And I have given thee into the hand of those seeking thy life, And into hands of which thou art afraid, Into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of the Chaldeans.
われ汝の生命を索る者の手および汝が其面を畏るる者の手すなはちバビロンの王ネブカデネザルの手とカルデヤ人の手に汝を付さん
26 And I have cast thee, And thy mother who bore thee, unto another country, Where ye were not born, and there do ye die.
われ汝と汝を生し母を汝等がうまれざりし他の地に逐やらん汝ら彼處に死べし
27 And to the land whither they are lifting up their soul to return, Thither they do not return.
彼らの靈魂のいたく歸らんことを願ふところの地に彼らは歸ることをえず
28 A grief — a despised broken thing — is this man Coniah? A vessel in which there is no pleasure? Wherefore have they been cast up and down, He and his seed, Yea, they were cast on to a land that they knew not?
この人ヱコニヤは賤しむべき壞れたる器ならんや好ましからざる器具ならんや如何なれば彼と其子孫は逐出されてその識ざる地に投やらるるや
29 Earth, earth, earth, hear a word of Jehovah,
地よ地よ地よヱホバの言をきけ
30 Thus said Jehovah: Write ye this man childless, A man — he doth not prosper in his days, For none of his seed doth prosper, Sitting on the throne of David, And ruling again in Judah!
ヱホバかくいひたまふこの人を子なくして其生命の中に榮えざる人と錄せそはその子孫のうちに榮えてダビデの位に坐しユダを治る人かさねてなかるべければなり
