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
Thus sayth the Lord, Goe, and buy an earthen bottel of a potter, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the Priests,
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 goe forth vnto the valley of Ben-hinnom, which is by the entrie of the East gate: and thou shalt preache there the wordes, that I shall tell thee,
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
And shalt say, Heare yee the worde of the Lord, O Kings of Iudah, and inhabitantes of Ierusalem, Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring a plague vpon this place, the which whosoeuer heareth, his eares shall tingle.
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
Because they haue forsaken me, and prophaned this place, and haue burnt incense in it vnto other gods, whome neyther they, nor their fathers haue knowen, nor the Kings of Iudah (they haue filled this place also with the blood of innocents,
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
And they haue built the hie places of Baal, to burne their sonnes with fire for burnt offrings vnto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my minde)
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
Therefore behold, the dayes come, sayth the Lord, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor ye valley of Ben-hinnom, but the valley of slaughter.
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
And I will bring the counsell of Iudah and Ierusalem to nought in this place, and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of them that seeke their liues: and their carkeises will I giue to be meate for ye foules of the heauen, and to the beastes of the fielde.
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
And I will make this citie desolate and an hissing, so that euery one that passeth thereby, shalbe astonished and hisse because of all ye plagues thereof.
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
And I will feede the with the flesh of their sonnes and with the flesh of their daughters, and euery one shall eate the flesh of his friende in the siege and straitnesse, wherewith their enemies that seeke their liues, shall hold them strait.
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 shalt thou breake the bottell in the sight of the men that go with thee,
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
And shalt say vnto them, Thus saith ye Lord of hostes, Euen so will I breake this people and this citie, as one breaketh a potters vessell, that cannot be made whole againe, and they shall bury them in Topheth till there be no place to bury.
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
Thus will I doe vnto this place, sayth the Lord, and to the inhabitantes thereof, and I will make this citie like 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
For the houses of Ierusalem, and the houses of the Kings of Iudah shalbe defiled as the place of Topheth, because of al the houses vpon whose roofes they haue burnt incense vnto all the host of heauen, and haue powred out drinke offerings vnto 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
Then came Ieremiah from Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to prophecie, and he stood in the court of the Lordes house, and sayde to all the people,
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
Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Beholde, I will bring vpon this citie, and vpon all her townes, all the plagues that I haue pronounced against it, because they haue hardened their neckes, and would not heare my wordes.
