Jeremiah 46
1 That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations,
茲にヱホバの言預言者ヱレミヤに臨みて諸國の事を論ふ
2 For Egypt, concerning the force of Pharaoh-Necho king of Egypt, that hath been by the river Phrat, in Carchemish, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath smitten, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
先エジプトの事すなはちユフラテ河の邊なるカルケミシの近傍にをるところのエジプト王パロネコの軍勢の事を論ふ是はユダの王ヨシヤの子ヱホヤキムの四年にバビロンの王ネブカデネザルが撃やぶりし者なり其言にいはく
3 'Set ye in array shield and buckler, And draw nigh to battle.
汝ら大楯小干を備へて進み戰へ
4 Gird the horses, and go up, ye horsemen, And station yourselves with helmets, Polish the javelins, put on the coats of mail.
馬を車に繋ぎ馬に乗り盔を被りて立て戈を磨き甲を着よ
5 Wherefore have I seen them dismayed — They are turned backward, And their mighty ones are beaten down, And [to] a refuge they have fled, and not turned the face? Fear [is] round about — an affirmation of Jehovah.
われ見るに彼らは懼れて退きその勇士は打敗られ狼狽遁て後をかへりみず是何故ぞや畏懼かれらのまはりにありとヱホバいひたまふ
6 The swift do not flee, nor do the mighty escape, Northward, by the side of the river Phrat, They have stumbled and fallen.
快足なる者も逃えず強者も遁れえず皆北の方にてユフラテ河の旁に蹶き仆れん
7 Who is this? as a flood he cometh up, As rivers do his waters shake themselves!
かのナイルのごとくに湧あがり河のごとくに其水さかまく者は誰ぞや
8 Egypt, as a flood cometh up, And as rivers the waters shake themselves. And he saith, I go up; I cover the land, I destroy the city and the inhabitants in it.
エジプトはナイルの如くに湧あがりその水は河の如くに逆まくなり而していふ我上りて地を蔽ひ邑とその中に住る者とを滅さん
9 Go up, ye horses; and boast yourselves, ye chariots, And go forth, ye mighty, Cush and Phut handling the shield, And Lud handling — treading the bow.
汝等馬に乗り車を驅馳らせよ勇士よ盾を執るエテオピア人プテ人および弓を張り挽くルデ人よ進みいづべし
10 And that day [is] to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts A day of vengeance, To be avenged of His adversaries, And the sword hath devoured, and been satisfied, And it hath been watered from their blood, For a sacrifice [is] to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, In the land of the north, by the river Phrat.
此は主なる萬軍のヱホバの復仇の日即ちその敵に仇を復し給ふ日なり劍は食ひて飽きその血に醉はん主なる萬軍のヱホバ北の地にてユフラテ河の旁に宰ることをなし給へばなり
11 Go up to Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt, In vain thou hast multiplied medicines, Healing there is none for thee.
處女よエジプトの女よギレアデに上りて乳香を取れ汝多くの藥を用ふるも益なし汝は愈ざるべし
12 Nations have heard of thy shame, And thy cry hath filled the land, For the mighty on the mighty did stumble, Together they have fallen — both of them!'
汝の恥辱は國々にきこえん汝の號泣は地に滿てり勇士は勇士にうち觸てともに仆る
13 The word that Jehovah hath spoken unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning the coming in of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, to smite the land of Egypt:
バビロンの王ネブカデネザルが來りてエジプトの地を撃んとする事につきてヱホバの預言者ヱレミヤに告たまひし言
14 'Declare ye in Egypt, and sound in Migdol, Yea, sound in Noph, and in Tahpanhes say: Station thyself, yea, prepare for thee, For a sword hath devoured around thee,
汝らエジプトに宣べミグドルに示し又ノフ、タパネスに示しいふべし汝ら堅く立ちて自ら備よ 劍なんぢの四周を食ひたればなり
15 Wherefore hath thy bull been swept away? He hath not stood, because Jehovah thrust him away.
汝の力ある者いかにして拂ひ除かれしやその立ざるはヱホバこれを仆したまふに由るなり
16 He hath multiplied the stumbling, Yea one hath fallen upon his neighbour, And they say: Rise, and we turn back to our people, And unto the land of our birth, Because of the oppressing sword.
彼多の者を蹶かせたまふ人其友の上に仆れかさなり而していふ起よ我ら滅すところの劍を避けてわが國にかへり故土にいたらんと
17 They have cried there: Pharaoh king of Egypt [is] a desolation, Passed by hath the appointed time.
人彼處に叫びてエジプトの王パロは滅されたり彼は機會を失へりといふ
18 I live — an affirmation of the King, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name, Surely as Tabor [is] among mountains, And as Carmel by the sea — he cometh in,
萬軍のヱホバと名りたまふところの王いひたまふ我は活く彼は山々の中のタボルのごとく海の旁のカルメルのごとくに來らん
19 Goods for removal make for thee, O inhabitant, daughter of Egypt, For Noph becometh a desolation, And hath been burnt up, without inhabitant.
エジプトに住る女よ汝移轉の器皿を備へよそはノフは荒蕪となり燒れて住む人なきにいたるべければなり
20 A heifer very fair [is] Egypt, Rending from the north doth come into her.
エジプトは至美しき牝の犢のごとし蜚虻きたり北の方より來る
21 Even her hired ones in her midst [are] as calves of the stall, For even they have turned, They have fled together, they have not stood, For the day of their calamity hath come on them, The time of their inspection.
また其中の傭人は肥たる犢のごとし彼ら轉向てともに逃げ立ことをせず是その滅さるる日いたり其罰せらるる時來りたればなり
22 Its voice as a serpent goeth on, For with a force they go, And with axes they have come in to her, As hewers of trees.
彼は蛇の如く聲をいだす彼ら軍勢を率ゐて來り樵夫の如く斧をもて之にのぞめり
23 They have cut down her forest, An affirmation of Jehovah — for it is not searched, For they have been more than the grasshopper, And they have no numbering.
ヱホバいひ給ふ彼らは探りえざるに由りて彼の林を砍仆せり彼等は蝗蟲よりも多して數へがたし
24 Ashamed hath been the daughter of Egypt, She hath been given into the hand of the people of the north.
エジプトの女は辱められ北の民の手に付されん
25 Said hath Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am seeing after Amon of No, And after Pharaoh, and after Egypt, And after her gods, and after her kings, And after Pharaoh, and after those trusting in him,
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神いひ給ふ視よわれノフのアモンとパロとエジプトとその諸神とその王等すなはちパロとかれを賴むものとを罰せん
26 And I have given them into the hand of those seeking their life, And into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of his servants, And afterwards it is inhabited, As [in] days of old — an affirmation of Jehovah.
われ彼らを其生命を索むる者の手とバビロンの王ネブカデネザルの手とその臣僕の手に付すべしその後この地は昔のごとく人の住むところとならんとヱホバいひたまふ
27 And thou, thou dost not fear, my servant Jacob, Nor [art] thou dismayed, O Israel, For lo, I am saving thee from afar, And thy seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob hath turned back, And hath been at rest, and been at ease, And there is none disturbing.
我僕ヤコブよ怖るる勿れイスラエルよ驚く勿れ視よわれ汝を遠方より救ひきたり汝の子孫をその擄移されたる地より救ひとるべしヤコブは歸りて平安と寧靜をえん彼を畏れしむる者なかるべし
28 Thou, thou dost not fear, My servant Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah — for with thee I [am], For I make an end of all the nations Whither I have driven thee, And of thee I do not make an end, And I have reproved thee in judgment, And do not entirely acquit thee!'
ヱホバいひたまふ我僕ヤコブよ汝怖るる勿れ我汝と偕にあればなり我汝を逐やりし國々を悉く滅すべけれど汝をば悉くは滅さじわれ道をもて汝を懲し汝を全くは罪なき者とせざるべし
