エレミヤ書 18
1 ヱホバよりヱレミヤにのぞめる言いふ
The word that was maad of the Lord to Jeremye,
2 汝起て陶人の屋にくだれ我かしこに於てわが言を汝に聞しめんと
and seide, Rise thou, and go doun in to the hous of a pottere, and there thou schalt here my wordis.
3 われすなはち陶人の屋にくだり視るに轆轤をもて物をつくりをりしが
And Y yede doun in to the hous of a pottere, and lo! he made a werk on a wheel.
4 その泥をもて造れるところの器陶人の手のうちに傷ねたれば彼その心のままに之をもて別の器をつくれり
And the vessel was distried, which he made of clei with hise hondis; and he turnede it, and made it another vessel, as it pleside in hise iyen to make.
5 時にヱホバの言我にのぞみていふ
And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
6 ヱホバいふイスラエルの家よこの陶人のなすが如くわれ汝になすことをえざるかイスラエルの家よ陶人の手に泥のあるごとく汝らはわが手にあり
and he seide, Whether as this pottere doith, Y mai not do to you, the hous of Israel? seith the Lord. Lo! as cley is in the hond of a pottere, so ye, the hous of Israel, ben in myn hond.
7 われ急に民あるひは國をぬくべし敗るべし滅すべしといふことあらんに
Sudenli Y schal speke ayens a folk, and ayens a rewme, that Y drawe out, and distrie, and leese it.
8 もし我いひしところの國その惡を離れなば我之に災を降さんとおもひしことを悔ん
If thilke folk doith penaunce of his yuel, which Y spak ayens it, also Y schal do penaunce on the yuel, which Y thouyte to do to it.
9 我また急に民あるいは國を立べし植べしといふことあらんに
And Y schal speke sudenli of a folk, and of a rewme, that Y bilde, and plaunte it.
10 もし其國わが目に惡く見ゆるところの事を行ひわが聲に遵はずば我これに福祉を錫へんといひしことを悔ん
If it doith yuel bifore myn iyen, that it here not my vois, Y schal do penaunce on the good which Y spak, that Y schulde do to it.
11 汝いまユダの人々とヱルサレムに住る者にいへヱホバかくいへり視よ我汝らに災をくださんと思ひめぐらし汝らをはかる計策を設く故に汝らおのおの其惡き途を離れ其途と行をあらためよと
Now therfor seie thou to a man of Juda, and to the dwellere of Jerusalem, and seie, The Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y make yuel ayens you, and Y thenke a thouyte ayens you; ech man turne ayen fro his yuel weie, and dresse ye youre weies and youre studies.
12 しかるに彼らいふ是は徒然なりわれらは自己の圖維ところにしたがひ各自その惡き心の剛愎なるを行はんと
Whiche seiden, We han dispeirid, for we schulen go after oure thouytis, and we schulen do ech man the schrewidnesse of his yuel herte.
13 この故にヱホバかくいひたまふ汝ら異國のうちに問へ斯の如きことを聞し者ありやイスラエルの處女はいと驚くべきことをなせり
Therfor the Lord seith these thingis, Axe ye hethene men, who herde siche orible thingis, whiche the virgyn of Israel hath do greetli?
14 レバノンの雪豈野の磐を離れんや遠方より流くる冷なる水豈涸かんや
Whether snow of the Liban schal fail fro the stoon of the feeld? ether coolde watris brekynge out, and fletynge doun moun be takun awei?
15 しかるに我民は我をわすれて虛き物に香を焚り是等の物彼らをその途すなはち古き途に蹶かせまた徑すなはち備なき道に行しめ
For my puple hath foryete me, and offriden sacrifices in veyn, and snaperiden in her weies, and in the pathis of the world, that thei yeden bi tho in a weie not trodun;
16 その地を荒して恒に人の笑とならしめん凡て其處を過る者は驚きてその首を搖らん
that the lond of hem schulde be in to desolacioun, and in to an hissyng euerlastinge; for whi ech that passith bi it, schal be astonyed, and schal moue his heed.
17 われ東風のごとくに彼らをその敵の前に散さん其滅亡の日にはわれ背を彼らに向て面をむけじ
As a brennynge wynd Y schal scatere hem bifor the enemy; Y schal schewe to hem the bak and not the face, in the dai of the perdicioun of hem.
18 彼らいふ去來われら計策を設てヱレミヤをはからんそれ祭司には律法あり智慧ある者には謀畧あり預言者には言ありて失ざるべし去來われら舌をもて彼を撃ちその諸の言を聽ことをせざらんと
And thei seiden, Come ye, and thenke we thouytis ayens Jeremye; for whi the lawe schal not perische fro a preest, nether councel schal perische fro a wijs man, nether word schal perische fro a profete; come ye, and smyte we hym with tunge, and take we noon heede to alle the wordis of hym.
19 ヱホバよ我にききたまへ又我と爭ふ者の聲をききたまへ
Lord, yyue thou tent to me, and here thou the vois of myn aduersaries.
20 惡をもて善に報ゆべきものならんや彼らはわが生命をとらん爲に坑を掘れりわが汝の前に立て彼らを善く言ひ汝の憤怒を止めんとせしを憶えたまへ
Whether yuel is yoldun for good, for thei han diggid a pit to my soule; haue thou mynde, that Y stoode in thi siyt, to speke good for hem, and to turne awei thin indignacioun fro hem.
21 さればかれらの子女を饑饉にあたへ彼らを劍の刃にわたしたまへ其妻は子を失ひ且寡となり其男は死をもて亡されその少者は劍をもて戰に殺されよかし
Therfor yyue thou the sones of hem in to hungur, and lede forth hem in to the hondis of swerd; the wyues of hem be maad with out children, and be maad widewis, and the hosebondis of hem be slayn bi deth; the yonge men of hem be persid togidere bi swerd in batel.
22 汝突然に敵をかれらに臨ませたまふ時號呼をその家の内より聞えしめよそは彼ら坑を掘りて我を執へんとしまた機檻を置てわが足を執へんとすればなり
Cry be herd of the housis of hem, for thou schalt bringe sudenli a theef on hem; for thei diggiden a pit to take me, and hidden snaris to my feet.
23 ヱホバよ汝はかれらが我を殺さんとするすべての謀畧を知りたまふ其惡を赦すことなく其罪を汝の前より抹去りたまふなかれ彼らを汝の前に仆れしめよ汝の怒りたまふ時にかく彼らになしたまへ
But thou, Lord, knowist al the councel of hem ayens me in to deth; do thou not merci to the wickidnesse of hem, and the synne of hem be not doon awei fro thi face; be thei maad fallynge doun in thi siyt, in the tyme of thi stronge veniaunce; vse thou hem to othir thing than thei weren ordeyned.
