< Jeremiah 49 >
1 Concerning the sons of Ammon: 'Thus said Jehovah: Sons — hath Israel none? heir — hath he none? Wherefore hath Malcam possessed Gad? And his people in its cities have dwelt?
アンモン人の事につきてヱホバかくいひたまふイスラエルに子なからんや嗣子なからんや何なれば彼らの王ガドを受嗣ぎ彼の民その邑々に住や
2 Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sounded unto Rabbah of the sons of Ammon a shout of battle, And it hath been for a heap — a desolation, And her daughters with fire are burnt, And Israel hath succeeded its heirs, Said hath Jehovah.
ヱホバいひたまふ是故に視よわが戰鬪の號呼をアンモン人のラバに聞えしむる日いたらんラバは荒垤となりその女等は火に焚れんその時イスラエルはおのれの嗣者となりし者等の嗣者となるべしヱホバこれをいひたまふ
3 Howl, Heshbon, for spoiled is Ai, Cry, daughters of Rabbah, gird on sackcloth, Lament, and go to and fro by the hedges, For Malcam into captivity doth go, His priests and his princes together.
ヘシボンよ咷べアイは滅びたりラバの女たちよ呼はれ麻布を身にまとひ嗟て籬のうちに走れマルカムとその祭司およびその牧伯等は偕に擄へ移されたり
4 What — dost thou boast thyself in valleys? Flowed hath thy valley, O backsliding daughter, Who is trusting in her treasures: Who doth come in unto me?
汝何なれば谷の事を誇るや背ける女よ汝の谷は流るるなり汝財貨に倚賴みていふ誰か我に來らんと
5 Lo, I am bringing in upon thee a fear, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, From all round about thee, And ye have been driven out each before it, And there is no gatherer of the wandering.
主なる萬軍のヱホバいひたまふ視よ我畏懼を汝の四周の者より汝に來らしめん汝らおのおの逐れて直にすすまん逃る者を集むる人無るべし
6 And after this I turn back the captivity of the sons of Ammon, An affirmation of Jehovah.'
然ど後にいたりてわれアンモン人の擄移されたる者を返さんとヱホバいひたまふ
7 Concerning Edom: 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Is wisdom no more in Teman? Perished hath counsel from the intelligent? Vanished hath their wisdom?
エドムの事につきて萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふテマンの中には智慧あることなきにいたりしや明哲者には謀略あらずなりしやその智慧は盡はてしや
8 Flee, turn, go deep to dwell, ye inhabitants of Dedan, For the calamity of Esau I brought in upon him, The time I inspected him.
デダンに住る者よ逃よ遁れよ深く竄れよ我エサウの滅亡をかれの上にのぞませ彼を罰する時をきたらしむべし
9 If gatherers have come in to thee, They do not leave gleanings, If thieves in the night, They have destroyed their sufficiency!
葡萄を斂むる者もし汝に來らば少許の果をも餘さざらんもし夜間盜人きたらばその飽まで滅さん
10 For I — I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, And to be hidden he is not able, Spoiled [is] his seed, and his brethren, And his neighbours, and he is not.
われエサウを裸にし又その隱處を露にせん彼は身を匿すことをえざるべしその裔も兄弟も隣舍も滅されん而して彼は在ずなるべし
11 Leave thine orphans — I do keep alive, And thy widows — on Me trust ye,
汝の孤子を遺せわれ之を生存へしめん汝の嫠は我に倚賴むべし
12 For thus said Jehovah: They whose judgment is not to drink of the cup, Do certainly drink, And thou [art] he that is entirely acquitted! Thou art not acquitted, for thou certainly drinkest.
ヱホバかくいひ給ふ視よ杯を飮べきにあらざる者もこれを飮ざるをえざるなれば汝まつたく罰を免るることをえんや汝は罰を免れじ汝これを飮ざるべからず
13 For, by Myself, I have sworn, An affirmation of Jehovah, That for a desolation, for a reproach, For a waste, and for a reviling — is Bozrah, And all her cities are for wastes age-during.
ヱホバいひたまふ我おのれを指して誓ふボズラは詫異となり羞辱となり荒地となり呪詛とならんその諸邑は永く荒地となるべし
14 A report I have heard from Jehovah, And an ambassador among nations is sent, Gather yourselves and come in against her, And rise ye for battle.
われヱホバより音信をきけり使者遣されて萬國にいたり汝ら集りて彼に攻めきたり起て戰へよといへり
15 For, lo, little I have made thee among nations, Despised among men.
視よわれ汝を萬國の中に小者となし人々の中に藐めらるる者となせり
16 Thy terribleness hath lifted thee up, The pride of thy heart, O dweller in clefts of the rock, Holding the high place of the height, For thou makest high as an eagle thy nest, From thence I bring thee down, An affirmation of Jehovah.
磐の隱場にすみ山の高處を占る者よ汝の恐ろしき事と汝の心の驕傲汝を欺けり汝鷹のごとくに巢を高き處に作りたれどもわれ其處より汝を取り下さんとヱホバいひたまふ
17 And Edom hath been for a desolation, Every passer by her is astonished, And doth hiss because of all her plagues.
エドムは詫異とならん凡そ其處を過る者は驚きその災害のために笑ふべし
18 As the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, And its neighbours, said Jehovah, No one doth dwell there, Nor sojourn in her doth a son of man.
ヱホバいひたまふソドムとゴモラとその隣の邑々の滅しがごとく其處に住む人なく其處に宿る人の子なかるべし
19 Lo, as a lion he cometh up, Because of the rising of the Jordan, Unto the enduring habitation, But I cause to rest, I cause him to run from off her, And who is chosen? concerning her I lay a charge, For who is like Me? and who conveneth Me? And who [is] this shepherd who standeth before Me?
視よ敵獅子のヨルダンの叢より上るがごとく堅き宅に攻めきたらんわれ直に彼を其處より逐奔らせわが選みたる者をその上に立てん誰か我のごとき者あらん誰か我爲に時期を定めんや孰の牧者か我前にたつことをえん
20 Therefore, hear ye the counsel of Jehovah, That He hath counselled concerning Edom, And His devices that He hath devised Concerning the inhabitants of Teman: Drag them out do not little ones of the flock, Make desolate over them doth he not their habitation?
さればエドムにつきてヱホバの謀りたまひし御謀とテマンに住る者につきて思ひたまひし思をきけ群の弱者はかならず曳ゆかれん彼かならずかれらの住宅を滅すべし
21 From the noise of their fall hath the earth shaken, The cry — at the sea of Suph is its voice heard.
その傾圮の響によりて地は震ふ號咷ありその聲紅海にきこゆ
22 Lo, as an eagle he cometh up, and flieth, And he spreadeth his wings over Bozrah, And the heart of the mighty of Edom hath been in that day, As the heart of a distressed woman!'
みよ彼鷹のごとくに上り飛びその翼をボズラの上に舒べんその日エドムの勇士の心は子を產む婦の心の如くならん
23 Concerning Damascus: Ashamed hath been Hamath and Arpad, For an evil report they have heard, They have been melted, in the sea [is] sorrow, To be quiet it is not able.
ダマスコの事 ハマテとアルパデは羞づそは凶き音信をきけばなり彼らは心を喪へり海の上に恐懼あり安き者なし
24 Feeble hath been Damascus, She turned to flee, and fear strengthened her, Distress and pangs have seized her, as a travailing woman.
ダマスコは弱り身をめぐらして逃んとす恐懼これに及び憂愁と痛劬子を產む婦にあるごとくこれにおよぶ
25 How is it not left — the city of praise, The city of my joy!
頌美ある邑我欣ぶところの邑を何なれば棄さらざるや
26 Therefore fall do her young men in her broad places, And all the men of war are cut off in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.
さればその日に壯者は街に仆れ兵卒は悉く滅されんと萬軍のヱホバいひたまふ
27 And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Damascus, And it consumed palaces of Ben-Hadad!'
われ火をダマスコの石垣の上に燃しベネハダデの殿舍をことごとく焚くべし
28 Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath smitten: 'Thus said Jehovah: Arise ye, go ye up unto Kedar, And spoil the sons of the east.
バビロンの王ネブカデネザルが攻め撃たるケダルとハゾルの諸國の事につきて/ヱホバかくいひたまふ汝ら起てケダルに上り東の衆人を滅せ
29 Their tents and their flock they do take, Their curtains, and all their vessels, And their camels, they bear away for themselves, And they called concerning them, Fear [is] round about.
その幕屋とその羊の群は彼等これを取りその幕とその諸の器と駱駝とは彼等これを奪ひとらん人これに向ひ惶懼四方にありと呼るべし
30 Flee, bemoan mightily, go deep to dwell, Ye inhabitants of Hazor — an affirmation of Jehovah, For given counsel against you hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, Yea, he deviseth against them a device.
ヱホバいひたまふハゾルに住る者よ逃よ急に走りゆき深き處に居れバビロンの王ネブカデネザル汝らをせむる謀略を運らし汝らをせむる術計を設けたればなり
31 Rise ye, go up unto a nation at rest, Dwelling confidently, an affirmation of Jehovah, It hath no two-leaved doors nor bar, Alone they do dwell.
ヱホバいひ給ふ汝ら起て穩なる安かに住める民の所に攻め上れ彼らは門もなく關もなくして獨り居ふなり
32 And their camels have been for a prey, And the multitude of their cattle for a spoil, And I have scattered them to every wind, Who cut off the corner [of the beard], And from all its passages I bring in their calamity, An affirmation of Jehovah.
その駱駝は擄掠とせられその多の畜は奪はれん我かの毛の角を剪る者を四方に散しその滅亡を八方より來らせんとヱホバいひたまふ
33 And Hazor hath been for a habitation of dragons, A desolation — unto the age, No one doth dwell there, nor sojourn in it doth a son of man!'
ハゾルは山犬の窟となり何までも荒蕪となりをらん彼處に住む人なく彼處に宿る人の子なかるべし
34 That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying:
ユダの王ゼデキヤが位に即し初のころヱホバの言預言者ヱレミヤに臨みてエラムの事をいふ
35 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Lo, I am breaking the bow of Elam, The beginning of their might.
萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふ視よわれエラムが權能として賴むところの弓を折らん
36 And I have brought in to Elam four winds, From the four ends of the heavens, And have scattered them to all these winds, And there is no nation whither outcasts of Elam come not in.
われ天の四方より四方の風をエラムに來らせ彼らを四方の風に散さんエラムより追出さるる者のいたらざる國はなかるべし
37 And I have affrighted Elam before their enemies, And before those seeking their life, And I have brought in against them evil, The heat of Mine anger, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sent after them the sword, Till I have consumed them;
ヱホバいひたまふわれエラムをしてその敵の前とその生命を索むるものの前に懼れしめん我災をくだし我烈しき怒をその上にいたらせんまたわれ劍をその後につかはしてこれを滅し盡すべし
38 And I have set My throne in Elam, And I have destroyed thence King and princes — an affirmation of Jehovah.
われ我位をエラムに居ゑ王と牧伯等を其處より滅したたんとヱホバいひたまふ
39 And it hath come to pass, in the latter end of the days, I turn back [to] the captivity of Elam, An affirmation of Jehovah!'
然ど末の日にいたりてわれエラムの擄移されたる者を返すべしとヱホバいひたまふ
