Jeremiah 34
1 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah — and Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his force, and all kingdoms of the land of the dominion of his hand, and all the peoples are fighting against Jerusalem, and against all its cities — saying:
バビロンの王ネブカデネザルその全軍および己の手の下に屬するところの地の列國の人および諸の民を率てヱルサレムとその諸邑を攻めて戰ふ時ヱホバの言ヱレミヤに臨みていふ
2 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel: Go, and thou hast spoken unto Zedekiah king of Judah, and hast said unto him, Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he hath burned it with fire,
イスラエルの神ヱホバかくいふ汝ゆきてユダの王ゼデキヤに告ていふべしヱホバかくいひたまふ視よわれ此邑をバビロン王の手に付さん彼火をもてこれを焚べし
3 and thou, thou dost not escape out of his hand, for thou art certainly caught, and into his hand thou art given, and thine eyes see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth with thy mouth speaketh, and Babylon thou enterest.
汝はその手を脱れず必ず擒へられてこれが手に付されん汝の目はバビロン王の目をみ又かれの口は汝の口と語ふべし汝はバビロンにゆくにいたらん
4 'Only, hear a word of Jehovah, O Zedekiah king of Judah, Thus said Jehovah unto thee: Thou dost not die by sword,
然どユダの王ゼデキヤよヱホバの言をきけヱホバ汝の事につきてかくいひたまふ汝は劍に死じ
5 in peace thou diest, and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings who have been before thee, so they make a burning for thee; and Ah, lord, they lament for thee, for the word I have spoken — an affirmation of Jehovah.'
汝は安らかに死なん民は汝の先祖たる汝の先の王等の爲に香を焚しごとく汝のためにも香を焚き且汝のために嘆て嗚呼主よといはん我この言をいふとヱホバいひたまふ
6 And Jeremiah the prophet speaketh unto Zedekiah king of Judah all these words in Jerusalem,
預言者エレミヤすなはち此言をことごとくヱルサレムにてユダの王ゼデキヤにつげたり
7 and the forces of the king of Babylon are fighting against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that are left — against Lachish, and against Azekah, for these have been left among the cities of Judah, cities of fortresses.
時にバビロン王の軍勢はヱルサレムおよび存れるユダの諸の邑を攻めラキシとアゼカを攻て戰ひをる其はユダの諸邑のうちに是等の城の邑尚存りゐたればなり
8 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, after the making by the king Zedekiah of a covenant with all the people who [are] in Jerusalem, to proclaim to them liberty,
ゼデキヤ王ヱルサレムに居る諸の民と契約を立てて彼らに釋放の事を宣示せし後ヱホバの言ヱレミヤに臨めり
9 to send out each his man-servant, and each his maid-servant — the Hebrew and the Hebrewess — free, so as not to lay service on them, any on a Jew his brother;
その契約はすなはち人をしておのおの其僕婢なるヘブルの男女を釋たしめその兄弟なるユダヤ人を奴隸となさざらしむる者なりき
10 and hearken do all the heads, and all the people who have come in to the covenant to send forth each his man-servant and each his maid-servant free, so as not to lay service on them any more, yea, they hearken, and send them away;
この契約をなせし牧伯等とすべての民は人おのおのその僕婢を釋ちて再び之を奴隸となすべからずといふをききて遂にそれに聽したがひてこれを釋ちしが
11 and they turn afterwards, and cause the men-servants and the maid-servants to return, whom they had sent forth free, and they subdue them for men-servants and for maid-servants.
後に心をひるがへしてその釋ちし僕婢をひきかへりて再び之を伏從はしめて僕婢となせり
12 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying:
是故にヱホバの言ヱホバよりヱレミヤにのぞみて云
13 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, I — I made a covenant with your fathers in the day of My bringing them forth from the land of Egypt, from a house of servants, saying,
イスラエルの神ヱホバかくいふ我汝らの先祖をエジプトの地その奴隸たりし宅より導きいだせし時彼らと契約を立ていひけらく
14 At the end of seven years ye do send forth each his brother, the Hebrew, who is sold to thee, and hath served thee six years, yea, thou hast sent him forth free from thee: and your fathers hearkened not unto Me, nor inclined their ear.
汝らの兄弟なるヘブル人の身を汝らに賣たる者をば七年の終に汝らおのおのこれを釋つべし彼六年汝につかへたらば之を釋つべしと然るに汝らの先祖等は我に聽ず亦その耳を傾けざりし
15 'And ye turn back, ye to-day, and ye do that which is right in Mine eyes, to proclaim liberty each to his neighbour, and ye make a covenant before Me in the house over which My name is called.
然ど汝らは今日心をあらためておのおの其鄰人に釋放の事を示してわが目に正とみゆる事を行ひ且我名をもて稱へらるる室に於て我前に契約を立たり
16 And — ye turn back, and pollute My name, and ye cause each his man-servant and each his maid-servant, whom he had sent forth free, (at their pleasure, ) to return, and ye subdue them to be to you for men-servants and for maid-servants.
然るに汝ら再び心をひるがへして我名を汚し各自釋ちて其心に任せしめたる僕婢をひき歸り再び之を伏從はしめて汝らの僕婢となせり
17 'Therefore, thus said Jehovah: Ye have not hearkened unto Me to proclaim freedom, each to his brother, and each to his neighbour; lo, I am proclaiming to you liberty — an affirmation of Jehovah — unto the sword, unto the pestilence, and unto the famine, and I have given you for a trembling to all kingdoms of the earth.
この故にヱホバかくいひたまふ汝ら我に聽ておのおの其兄弟とその鄰に釋放の事を示さざりしによりて視よわれ汝らの爲に釋放を示して汝らを劍と饑饉と疫病にわたさん我汝らをして地の諸の國にて艱難をうけしむべし
18 'And I have given the men who are transgressing My covenant, who have not established the words of the covenant that they have made before Me, by the calf, that they have cut in two, and pass through between its pieces —
ヱホバこれを云ふ犢を兩にさきて其二個の間を過り我前に契約をたてて却つて其言に從はずわが契約をやぶる人々
19 heads of Judah, and heads of Jerusalem, the officers, and the priests, and all the people of the land those passing through between the pieces of the calf —
即ち兩に分ちし犢の間を過りしユダの牧伯等ヱルサレムの牧伯等と寺人と祭司とこの地のすべての民を
20 yea, I have given them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those seeking their soul, and their carcase hath been for food to the fowl of the heavens, and to the beast of the earth.
われ其敵の手とその生命を索る者の手に付さんその屍體は天空の鳥と野の獸の食物となるべし
21 'And Zedekiah king of Judah, and his heads, I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those seeking their soul, and into the hand of the forces of the king of Babylon, that are going up from off you.
且われユダの王ゼデキヤとその牧伯等をその敵の手其生命を索むる者の手汝らを離れて去しバビロン王の軍勢の手に付さん
22 Lo, I am commanding — an affirmation of Jehovah — and have brought them back unto this city, and they have fought against it, and captured it, and burned it with fire, and the cities of Judah I do make a desolation — without inhabitant.'
ヱホバいひたまふ視よ我彼らに命じて此邑に歸らしめん彼らこの邑を攻て戰ひ之を取り火をもて焚くべしわれユダの諸邑を住人なき荒地となさん
