< Jeremiah 26 >
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, hath this word been from Jehovah, saying:
ユダの王ヨシヤの子ヱホヤキムが位に即し初のころヱホバより此言いでていふ
2 'Thus said Jehovah, Stand thou in the court of the house of Jehovah, and thou hast spoken unto all [those of] the cities of Judah who are coming in to bow themselves in the house of Jehovah, all the words that I have commanded thee to speak unto them, thou dost not diminish a word.
ヱホバかくいふ汝ヱホバの室の庭に立我汝に命じていはしむる諸の言をユダの邑々より來りてヱホバの室に拜をする人々に告よ一言をも減す勿れ
3 If so be they hearken, and turn back each from his evil way, then I have repented concerning the evil that I am thinking of doing to them, because of the evil of their doings.
彼等聞ておのおの其惡き途を離るることあらん然ば我かれらの行の惡がために災を彼らに降さんとせることを悔べし
4 'And thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah, If ye do not hearken unto Me, to walk in My law, that I set before you,
汝彼等にヱホバかくいふといへ汝等もし我に聽ずわが汝らの前に置し律法を行はず
5 To hearken to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I am sending unto you, yea, rising early and sending, and ye have not hearkened,
我汝らに遣し切に遣せし我僕なる預言者の言を聽ずば(汝らは之をきかざりき)
6 Then I have given up this house as Shiloh, and this city I give up for a reviling to all nations of the earth.'
我この室をシロの如くになし又この邑を地の萬國に詛はるる者となすべし
7 And the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, hear Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Jehovah,
祭司と預言者及び民みなヱレミヤがヱホバの室に立てこの言をのぶるをきけり
8 And it cometh to pass, at the completion of Jeremiah's speaking all that Jehovah hath commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests, and the prophets, and all the people catch him, saying, Thou dost surely die,
ヱレミヤ、ヱホバに命ぜられし諸の言を民に告畢りしとき祭司と預言者および諸の民彼を執へいひけるは汝は必ず死べし
9 Wherefore hast thou prophesied in the name of Jehovah, saying, 'As Shiloh this house shall be, and this city is wasted, without inhabitant?' and all the people are assembled unto Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah.
汝何故にヱホバの名をもて預言し此室はシロの如くになりこの邑は荒蕪となりて住む者なきにいたらんと云しやと民みなヱホバの室にあつまりてヱレミヤを攻む
10 And the heads of Judah hear these things, and they go up from the house of the king [to] the house of Jehovah, and sit in the opening of the new gate of Jehovah.
ユダの牧伯等この事をききて王の家をいでヱホバの室にのぼりてヱホバの家の新しき門の入口に坐せり
11 And the priests and the prophets speak unto the heads, and unto all the people, saying, 'Judgment of death [is] for this man, for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.'
祭司と預言者等牧伯等とすべての民に訴ていふ此人は死にあたる者なり是は汝らが耳に聽しごとくこの邑にむかひて惡き預言をなしたるなり
12 And Jeremiah speaketh unto all the heads, and unto all the people, saying, 'Jehovah sent me to prophesy concerning this house, and concerning this city, all the words that ye have heard;
是に於てヱレミヤ牧伯等とすべての民にいひけるはヱホバ我を遣し汝らが聽る諸の言をもて此宮とこの邑にむかひて預言せしめたまふ
13 And now, amend your ways, and your doings, and hearken to the voice of Jehovah your God, and Jehovah doth repent concerning the evil that He hath spoken against you.
故に汝らいま汝らの途と行爲をあらためて汝らの神ヱホバの聲にしたがへ然ばヱホバ汝らに災を降さんとせしことを悔たまふべし
14 'And I, lo, I [am] in your hand, do to me as is good and as is right in your eyes;
みよ我は汝らの手にあり汝らの目に善とみゆるところ義とみゆることを我に行へ
15 Only, know ye certainly, that if ye are putting me to death, surely innocent blood ye are putting on yourselves, and on this city, and on its inhabitants; for truly hath Jehovah sent me unto you to speak in your ears all these words.'
然ど汝ら善くこれを知れ汝らもし我を殺さば必ず無辜ものの血なんぢらの身とこの邑と其中に住る者に歸せんヱホバ我を遣してこの諸の言を汝らの耳につげしめたまひしなればなり
16 And the heads and all the people say unto the priests and unto the prophets, 'There is not for this man a judgment of death, for in the name of Jehovah our God he hath spoken unto us.'
牧伯等とすべての民すなはち祭司と預言者にいひけるは此人は死にあたる者にあらず是は我らの神ヱホバの名によりて我儕に語りしなりと
17 And certain of the elders of the land rise up, and speak unto all the assembly of the people, saying,
時にこの地の長老數人立て民のすべての集れる者につげていひけるは
18 'Micah the Morashtite hath been prophesying in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and he saith unto all the people of Judah, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Zion is a plowed field, and Jerusalem is heaps, And the mountain of the house is for high places of a forest.
ユダの王ヒゼキヤの代にモレシテ人ミカ、ユダの民に預言して云けらく萬軍のヱホバかくいひ給ふシオンは田地のごとく耕されヱルサレムは邱墟となり此室の山は樹深き崇邱とならんと
19 'Put him at all to death did Hezekiah king of Judah, and all Judah? Did he not fear Jehovah? yea, he appeaseth the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah repenteth concerning the evil that He spake against them; and we are doing great evil against our souls.
ユダの王ヒゼキヤとすべてのユダ人は彼を殺さんとせしことありしやヒゼキヤ、ヱホバを畏れヱホバに求ければヱホバ彼らに降さんと告給ひし災を悔給ひしにあらずや我儕かく爲すは自己の靈魂をそこなふ大なる惡をなすなり
20 'And also there hath been a man prophesying in the name of Jehovah, Urijah son of Shemaiah, of Kirjath-Jearim, and he prophesieth against this city, and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah,
又前にヱホバの名をもて預言せし人あり即ちキリヤテヤリムのシマヤの子ウリヤなり彼ヱレミヤの凡ていへるごとく此邑とこの地にむかひて預言せり
21 And the king Jehoiakim, and all his mighty ones, and all the heads, hear his words, and the king seeketh to put him to death, and Urijah heareth, and feareth, and fleeth, and goeth in to Egypt.
ヱホヤキム王と其すべての勇士とすべての牧伯等その言を聽り是において王彼を殺さんと欲ひしがウリヤこれをきき懼てエジプトに逃ゆきしかば
22 And the king Jehoiakim sendeth men to Egypt — Elnathan son of Achbor, and men with him unto Egypt —
ヱホヤキム王人をエジプトに遣せり即ちアクボルの子エルナタンに數人をそへてエジプトにつかはしければ
23 And they bring out Urijah from Egypt, and bring him in unto the king Jehoiakim, and he smiteth him with a sword, and casteth his corpse unto the graves of the sons of the people.'
彼らウリヤをエジプトより引出しヱホヤキム王の許に携きたりしに王劍をもて之を殺し其屍骸を賤者の墓に棄させたりと
24 Only, the hand of Ahikam son of Shaphan hath been with Jeremiah so as not to give him up into the hand of the people to put him to death.
時にシヤパンの子アヒカム、ヱレミヤをたすけこれを民の手にわたして殺さざらしむ
