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 says the LORD, Go and get a potter's earthen bottle, 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 go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell 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
And say, Hear all of you the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever hears, his ears 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 have forsaken me, and have cut off this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocent persons;
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 also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spoke it, neither came it into my mind:
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 days come, says the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of 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 make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcasses will I give to be food for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
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 city desolate, and an hissing; every one that passes thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the 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 cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and strictness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.
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 shall you break the bottle in the sight of the men that go 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
And shall say unto them, Thus says the LORD of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, 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 do unto this place, says the LORD, and to the inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as Tophet:
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
And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto 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 Jeremiah from Tophet, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD's house; and said 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 says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.
