エレミヤ書 19
1 ヱホバかくいひたまふ往て陶人の瓦罇をかひ民の長老と祭司の長老の中より數人をともなひて
This is what the Lord says: Go and buy a clay jar from a potter. Take some of the elders of the people and leaders of the priests with you,
2 陶人の門の前にあるベンヒンノムの谷にゆき彼處に於てわが汝に告んところの言を宣よ
and go through the Broken Pottery Gate to the valley of Ben-hinnom. Announce this message I'm giving you.
3 云くユダの王等とヱルサレムに住る者よヱホバの言をきけ萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ視よ我災を此處にくだすべし凡そ之をきく者の耳はかならず鳴らん
Tell them, Listen to what the Lord says, kings of Judah and people living in Jerusalem. This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am going to bring down on this place such a disaster that it will make the ears of anyone who hears about it ring.
4 こは彼ら我を棄てこの處を瀆し此にて自己とその先祖およびユダの王等の知ざる他の神に香を焚き且辜なきものの血をこの處に盈せばなり
My people have deserted me and have made this a place where foreign gods are worshiped. They have burned incense in it to other gods that they and their forefathers and the kings of Judah never knew anything about. They have filled this place with the blood of innocent people.
5 又彼らはバアルの爲に崇邱を築き火をもて己の兒子を焚き燔祭となしてバアルにささげたり此わが命ぜしことにあらず我いひしことにあらず又我心に意はざりし事なり
They have built pagan shrines to Baal where they burn their children in the fire as offerings to Baal. This is something I never commanded or even mentioned. I never even thought of such a thing!
6 ヱホバいひたまふさればみよ此處をトペテまたはベンヒンノムの谷と稱ずして屠戮の谷と稱ふる日きたらん
So watch out! The time is coming, declares the Lord, when instead of Topheth and the Valley of Hinnom this place will be called the Valley of Killing.
7 また我この處に於てユダとヱルサレムの謀をむなしうし劍をもて彼らを其敵の前とその生命を索る者の手に仆しまたその屍を天空の鳥と地の獸の食物となし
Right here in this place I'm going to spoil the plans of Judah and Jerusalem. I will let their enemies who want to kill them come and do exactly that. Their dead bodies will be food for birds of prey and wild animals.
8 かつ此邑を荒して人の胡盧とならしめん凡そここを過る者はその諸の災に驚きて笑ふべし
I'm going to make this city desolate, a place that is mocked. Everyone who passes by will be horrified, shocked by all its damage.
9 また彼らがその敵とその生命を索る者とに圍みくるしめらるる時我彼らをして己の子の肉女の肉を食はせん又彼らは互にその友の肉を食ふべし
The siege brought by their enemies who want to kill them will be so terrible that I will make them eat each other, even their own sons and daughters.
10 汝ともに行く人の目の前にてその瓦罇を毀ちて彼らにいふべし
Then smash the jar in front of the people with you.
11 萬軍のヱホバかくいひ給ふ一回毀てば復全うすること能はざる陶人の器を毀つが如くわれ此民とこの邑を毀たんまた彼らは葬るべき地なきによりてトペテに葬られん
Tell them: this is what the Lord Almighty says: I'm going to smash this nation and this city, just like a clay jar is smashed so it can't ever be repaired. People will bury their dead in Topheth until it's full.
12 ヱホバいひ給ふ我この處とこの中に住る者とに斯なし此邑をトペテの如くなすべし
This is what I'm going to do to this place and to the people who live here, declares the Lord. I will turn this city into Topheth.
13 且ヱルサレムの室とユダの王等の室はトペテの處のごとく汚れん其は彼らすべての室の屋蓋のうへにて天の衆群に香をたき他の神に酒をそそげばなり
All the houses of Jerusalem and the palaces of the kings of Judah will become unclean just like Topheth, because they are all the houses whose rooftops they used to burn incense to the sun, moon, and stars, and poured out drink offerings to other gods.
14 ヱレミヤ、ヱホバの己を遣はして預言せしめたまひしトペテより歸りきたりヱホバの室の庭に立ちすべての民に語りていひけるは
Jeremiah returned from Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to deliver this message. He went and stood in the court of the Lord's Temple and announced to everyone,
15 萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ視よわれ我いひし諸の災をこの邑とその諸の郷村にくださん彼らその項を強くして我言を聽ざればなり
This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Watch out! I am about to bring down on this city and on all its surrounding villages every disaster I warned them about, because they have stubbornly refused to listen to what I say.
