< Jeremiah 27 >
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, hath this word been unto Jeremiah 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ヱレミヤに臨みていふ
2 'Thus said Jehovah unto me, Make to thee bands and yokes,
すなはちヱホバかく我に云たまへり汝索と軛をつくりて汝の項に置き
3 And thou hast put them on thy neck, and hast sent them unto the king of Edom, and unto the king of Moab, and unto the king of the sons of Ammon, and unto the king of Tyre, and unto the king of Zidon, by the hand of messengers who are coming in to Jerusalem, unto Zedekiah king of Judah;
之をヱルサレムにきたりてゼデキヤ王にいたるところの使臣等の手によりてエドムの王モアブの王アンモン人の王ツロの王シドンの王に送るべし
4 And thou hast commanded them for their lords, saying, Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel,
汝彼らに命じて其主にいはしめよ萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ汝ら其主にかく告べし
5 Thus do ye say unto your lords, I — I have made the earth with man, and the cattle that [are] on the face of the earth, by My great power, and by My stretched-out arm, and I have given it to whom it hath been right in Mine eyes.
われ我大なる能力と伸たる臂をもて地と地の上にをる人と獸とをつくり我心のままに地を人にあたへたり
6 'And now, I — I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and also the beast of the field I have given to him to serve him;
いま我この諸の地を我僕なるバビロンの王ネブカデネザルの手にあたへ又野の獸を彼にあたへてかれにつかへしむ
7 And served him have all the nations, and his son, and his son's son, till the coming in of the time of his land, also it; and done service for him have many nations and great kings.
かれの地の時期いたるまで萬國民は彼と其子とその孫につかへん其時いたらばおほくの國と大なる王は彼を己に事へしむべし
8 And it hath come to pass, the nation and the kingdom that do not serve him — Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon — and that which putteth not its neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon, with sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, I lay a charge on that nation — an affirmation of Jehovah — till I consume them by his hand.
バビロンの王ネブカデネザルに事へずバビロンの王の軛をその項に負ざる國と民は我彼の手をもて悉くこれを滅すまで劍と饑饉と疫病をもてこれを罰せんとヱホバいひたまふ
9 'And ye, ye do not hearken unto your prophets, and unto your diviners, and unto your dreamers, and unto your observers of clouds, and unto your sorcerers who are speaking unto you, saying, Ye do not serve the king of Babylon, —
故に汝らの預言者なんぢらの占筮師汝らの夢みる者汝らの法術士汝らの魔法士汝らに告て汝らはバビロンの王に事ふることあらじといふとも聽なかれ
10 For falsehood they are prophesying to you, so as to remove you far from off your ground, and I have driven you out, and ye have perished.
彼らは謊を汝らに預言して汝らをその國より遠く離れしめ且我をして汝らを逐しめ汝らを滅さしむるなり
11 And the nation that causeth its neck to enter into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and hath served him — I have left it on its ground — an affirmation of Jehovah — and it hath tilled it, and dwelt in it.'
然どバビロンの王の軛をその項に負ふて彼に事ふる國々の人は我これをその故土に存し其處に耕し住しむべしとヱホバいひたまふ
12 And unto Zedekiah king of Judah I have spoken according to all these words, saying, 'Cause your necks to enter into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
我この諸の言のごとくユダの王ゼデキヤに告ていひけるは汝らバビロンの王の軛を汝らの項に負ふて彼と其民につかへよ然ば生べし
13 Why do ye die, thou and thy people, by sword, by famine, and by pestilence, as Jehovah hath spoken concerning the nation that doth not serve the king of Babylon?
汝と汝の民なんぞヱホバがバビロンの王につかへざる國につきていひたまひし如く劍と饑饉と疫病に死ぬべけんや
14 'And ye do not hearken unto the words of the prophets who are speaking unto you, saying, Ye do not serve the king of Babylon, — for falsehood they are prophesying to you.
故に汝らはバビロンの王に事ふることあらじと汝等に告る預言者の言を聽なかれ彼らは謊を汝らに預言するなり
15 For I have not sent them — an affirmation of Jehovah — and they are prophesying in My name falsely, so as to drive you out, and ye have perished, ye, and the prophets who are prophesying to you.'
ヱホバいひたまひけるは我彼らを遣さざるに彼らは我名をもて謊を預言す是をもて我汝らを逐はなち汝らと汝らに預言する預言者等を滅すにいたらん
16 And unto the priests, and unto all this people, I have spoken, saying, 'Thus said Jehovah, Ye do not hearken unto the words of your prophets, who are prophesying to you, saying, Lo, the vessels of the house of Jehovah are brought back from Babylon now in haste, for falsehood they are prophesying to you.
我また祭司とこのすべての民に語りていひけるはヱホバかくいひたまふ視よヱホバの室の器皿いま速にバビロンより持歸さるべしと汝らに預言する預言者の言をきく勿れそは彼ら謊を汝らに預言すればなり
17 Ye do not hearken unto them, serve the king of Babylon, and live. Why is this city a waste?
汝ら彼らに聽なかれバビロンの王に事へよ然ば生べしこの邑を何ぞ荒蕪となすべけんや
18 'And, if they be prophets, and if a word of Jehovah be with them, let them intercede, I pray you, with Jehovah of Hosts, so that the vessels that are left in the house of Jehovah, and [in] the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, have not gone into Babylon.
もし彼ら預言者にしてヱホバの言かれらの衷にあらばヱホバの室とユダの王の家とヱルサレムとに餘れるところの器皿のバビロンに移されざることを萬軍のヱホバに求むべきなり
19 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,
萬軍のヱホバ柱と海と臺およびこの邑に餘れる器皿につきてかくいひたまふ
20 That Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon hath not taken, in his removing Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon with all the freemen of Judah and Jerusalem,
是はバビロンの王ネブカデネザルがユダの王ヱホヤキムの子ヱコニヤおよびユダとヱルサレムのすべての牧伯等をヱルサレムよりバビロンにとらへ移せしときに掠ざりし器皿なり
21 Surely thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left of the house of Jehovah, and of the house of the king of Judah, and [in] Jerusalem:
すなはち萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神ヱホバの室とユダの王の室とヱルサレムとに餘れる器皿につきてかくいひたまふ
22 To Babylon they are brought, and there they are till the day of My inspecting them — an affirmation of Jehovah; then I have brought them up, and have brought them back unto this place.'
これらはバビロンに携へゆかれ我これを顧る日まで彼處にあらん其後我これを此處にたづさへ歸らしめんとヱホバいひたまふ
