Lamentations 1
1 How hath she sat alone, The city abounding with people! She hath been as a widow, The mighty among nations! Princes among provinces, She hath become tributary!
ああ哀しいかな古昔は人のみちみちたりし此都邑 いまは凄しき様にて坐し 寡婦のごとくになれり 嗟もろもろの民の中にて大いなりし者 もろもろの州の中に女王たりし者 いまはかへつて貢をいるる者となりぬ
2 She weepeth sore in the night, And her tear [is] on her cheeks, There is no comforter for her out of all her lovers, All her friends dealt treacherously by her, They have been to her for enemies.
彼よもすがら痛く泣きかなしみて涙面にながる その戀人の中にはこれを慰むる者ひとりだに無く その朋これに背きてその仇となれり
3 Removed hath Judah because of affliction, And because of the abundance of her service; She hath dwelt among nations, She hath not found rest, All her pursuers have overtaken her between the straits.
ユダは艱難の故によりまた大いなる苦役のゆゑによりて擄はれゆき もろもろの國に住ひて安息を得ず これを追ふものみな狭隘にてこれに追しきぬ
4 The ways of Zion are mourning, Without any coming at the appointed time, All her gates are desolate, her priests sigh, Her virgins are afflicted — and she hath bitterness.
シオンの道路は節會の上り來る者なきがために哀しみ その門はことごとく荒れ その祭司は歎き その處女は憂へ シオンもまた自から苦しむ
5 Her adversaries have become chief, Her enemies have been at ease, For Jehovah hath afflicted her, For the abundance of her transgressions, Her infants have gone captive before the adversary.
その仇は首となり その敵は享ゆ その愆の多きによりてヱホバこれをなやませたまへるなり そのわかき子等は擄はれて仇の前にゆけり
6 And go out from the daughter of Zion doth all her honour, Her princes have been as harts — They have not found pasture, And they go powerless before a pursuer.
シオンの女よりはその榮華ことごとく離れされり またその牧伯等は草を得ざる鹿のごとくに成り おのれを追ふものの前に力つかれて歩みゆけり
7 Remembered hath Jerusalem [In] the days of her affliction and her mournings, all her desirable things that were from the days of old, In the falling of her people into the hand of an adversary, And she hath no helper; Seen her have adversaries, They have laughed at her cessation.
ヱルサレムはその艱難と窘迫の時むかしの代にありしもろもろの樂しき物を思ひ出づ その民仇の手におちいり誰もこれを助くるものなき時 仇人これを見てその荒はてたるを笑ふ
8 A sin hath Jerusalem sinned, Therefore impure she hath become, All who honoured her have esteemed her lightly, For they have seen her nakedness, Yea, she herself hath sighed and turneth backward.
ヱルサレムははなはだしく罪ををかしたれば汚穢たる者のごとくになれり 前にこれを尊とびたる者もその裸體を見しによりて皆これをいやしむ 是もまたみづから嗟き身をそむけて退けり
9 Her uncleanness [is] in her skirts, She hath not remembered her latter end, And she cometh down wonderfully, There is no comforter for her. See, O Jehovah, mine affliction, For exerted himself hath an enemy.
その汚穢これが裾にあり 彼その終局をおもはざりき 此故に驚ろくまでに零落たり 一人の慰むる者だに無し ヱホバよわが艱難をかへりみたまへ 敵は勝ほこれり
10 His hand spread out hath an adversary On all her desirable things, For she hath seen — Nations have entered her sanctuary, Concerning which Thou didst command, 'They do not come into the assembly to thee.'
敵すでに手を伸てその財寳をことごとく奪ひたり 汝さきに異邦人等はなんぢの公會にいるべからずと命じおきたまひしに 彼らが聖所を侵しいるをシオンは見たり
11 All her people are sighing — seeking bread, They have given their desirable things For food to refresh the body; See, O Jehovah, and behold attentively, For I have been lightly esteemed.
その民はみな哀きて食物をもとめ その生命を支へんがために財寳を出して食にかへたり ヱホバよ見そなはし我のいやしめらるるを顧みたまへ
12 [Is it] nothing to you, all ye passing by the way? Look attentively, and see, If there is any pain like my pain, That He is rolling to me? Whom Jehovah hath afflicted In the day of the fierceness of His anger.
すべて行路人よ なんぢら何ともおもはざるか ヱホバその烈しき震怒の日に我をなやましてわれに降したまへるこの憂苦にひとしき憂苦また世にあるべきや考がへ見よ
13 From above He hath sent fire into my bone, And it subdueth it, He hath spread a net for my feet, He hath turned me backward, He hath made me desolate — all the day sick.
ヱホバ上より火をくだしわが骨にいれて之を克服せしめ 網を張りわが足をとらへて我を後にむかしめ 我をして終日心さびしくかつ疾わづらはしめたまふ
14 Bound hath been the yoke of my transgressions by His hand, They are wrapped together, They have gone up on my neck, He hath caused my power to stumble, The Lord hath given me into hands, I am not able to rise.
わが愆尤の軛は主の御手にて結ばれ諸の愆あひ纒はりてわが項にのれり 是はわが力をしておとろへしむ 主われを敵たりがたき者の手にわたしたまへり
15 Trodden down all my mighty ones hath the Lord in my midst, He proclaimed against me an appointed time, To destroy my young men, A wine-press hath the Lord trodden, To the virgin daughter of Judah.
主われの中なる勇士をことごとく除き 節會をもよほして我を攻め わが少き人を打ほろぼしたまへり 主酒榨をふむがごとくにユダの處女をふみたまへり
16 For these I am weeping, My eye, my eye, is running down with waters, For, far from me hath been a comforter, Refreshing my soul, My sons have been desolate, For mighty hath been an enemy.
これがために我なげく わが目やわが目には水ながる わがたましひを活すべき慰さむるものわれに遠ければなり わが子等は敵の勝るによりて滅びうせにき
17 Spread forth hath Zion her hands, There is no comforter for her, Jehovah hath charged concerning Jacob, His neighbours [are] his adversaries, Jerusalem hath become impure among them.
シオンは手をのぶれども誰もこれを慰むる者なし ヤコブにつきてはヱホバ命をくだしてその周圍の民をこれが敵とならしめたまふ ヱルサレムは彼らの中にありて汚れたる者のごとくなりぬ
18 Righteous is Jehovah, For His mouth I have provoked. Hear, I pray you, all ye peoples, and see my pain, My virgins and my young men have gone into captivity.
ヱホバは正し 我その命令にそむきたるなり 一切の民よわれに聽け わが憂苦をかへりみよ わが處女もわかき男も俘囚て往り
19 I called for my lovers, they — they have deceived me, My priests and my elders in the city have expired; When they have sought food for themselves, Then they give back their soul.
われわが戀人を呼たれども彼らはわれを欺むけり わが祭司およびわが長老は生命を繋がんとて食物を求むる間に都邑の中にて氣息たえたり
20 See, O Jehovah, for distress [is] to me, My bowels have been troubled, Turned hath been my heart in my midst, For I have greatly provoked, From without bereaved hath the sword, In the house [it is] as death.
ヱホバよかへりみたまへ 我はなやみてをり わが膓わきかへり わが心わが衷に顛倒す 我甚しく悖りたればなり 外には劍ありてわが子を殺し 内には死のごとき者あり
21 They have heard that I have sighed, There is no comforter for me, All my enemies have heard of my calamity, They have rejoiced that Thou hast done [it], Thou hast brought in the day Thou hast called, And they are like to me.
かれらはわが嗟歎をきけり 我をなぐさむるもの一人だに无し わが敵みなわが艱難をききおよび 汝のこれを爲たまひしを喜こべり 汝はさきに告しらせしその日を來らせたまはん 而して彼らもつひに我ごとくに成るべし
22 Come in doth all their evil before Thee, And one is doing to them as Thou hast done to me, For all my transgressions, For many [are] my sighs, and my heart [is] sick!
ねがはくは彼等が與へし艱難をことごとくなんぢの御前にあらはし 前にわがもろもろの罪愆のために我におこなひし如く彼らにも行ひたまへ わが嗟歎は多くわが心はうれひかなしむなり
