エレミヤ書 20

1 祭司インメルの子ヱホバの室の宰の長なるパシユル、ヱレミヤがこの言を預言するをきけり

Now Phassur the son of Emmur, the priest, who was appointed chief in the house of the Lord, heard Jeremias prophesying these words.

2 是に於てパシユル預言者ヱレミヤを打ちヱホバの室にある上のベニヤミンの門の桎梏に繋げり

And Phassur struck Jeremias the prophet, and put him in the stocks, that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, in the house of the Lord.

3 翌日パシユル、ヱレミヤを桎梏より釋はなちしにヱレミヤ彼にいひけるはヱホバ汝の名をパシユルと稱ずしてマゴルミッサビブ(驚懼周圍にあり)と稱び給ふ

And when it was light the next day, Phassur brought Jeremias out of the stocks. And Jeremias said to him: The Lord hath not called thy name Phassur, but fear on every side.

4 即ちヱホバかくいひたまふ視よわれ汝をして汝と汝のすべての友に恐怖をおこさしむる者となさん彼らはその敵の劍に仆れん汝の目はこれを見べし我またユダのすべての民をバビロン王の手に付さん彼は彼らをバビロンに移し劍をもて殺すべし

For thus saith the Lord: Behold I will deliver thee up to fear, thee and all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thy eyes shall see it, and I will give all Juda into the hand of the king of Babylon: and he shall strike them with the sword.

5 我またこの邑のすべての貨財とその得たる諸の物とその諸の珍寶とユダの王等のすべての儲蓄を其敵の手に付さん彼らはこれを掠めまた民を擄へてバビロンに移すべし

And I will give all the substance of this city, and all its labour, and every precious thing thereof, and all the treasures of the kings of Juda will I give into the hands of their enemies: and they shall pillage them, and take them away, and carry them to Babylon.

6 パシユルよ汝と汝の家にすめる者は悉く擄へ移されん汝はバビロンにいたりて彼處に死にかしこに葬られん汝も汝が僞りて預言せし言を聽し友もみな然らん

But thou, Phassur, and all that dwell in thy house, shall go into captivity, and thou shalt go to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and there thou shalt be buried, thou and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied a lie.

7 ヱホバよ汝われを勸めたまひてわれ其勸に從へり汝我をとらへて我に勝給へりわれ日々に人の笑となり人皆我を嘲りぬ

Thou hast deceived me, O Lord, and I am deceived: thou hast been stronger than I, and thou hast prevailed. I am become a laughing-stock all the day, all scoff at me.

8 われ語り呼はるごとに暴逆殘虐の事をいふヱホバの言日々にわが身の恥辱となり嘲弄となるなり

For I am speaking now this long time, crying out against iniquity, and I often proclaim devastation: and the word of the Lord is made a reproach to me, and a derision all the day.

9 是をもて我かさねてヱホバの事を宣ず又その名をもてかたらじといへり然どヱホバのことば我心にありて火のわが骨の中に閉こもりて燃るがごとくなれば忍耐につかれて堪難し

Then I said: I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name: and there came in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was wearied, not being able to bear it.

10 そは我おほくの人の讒をきく驚懼まはりにあり訴へよ彼を訴へん我親しき者はみな我蹶くことあらんかと窺ひて互にいふ彼誘はるることあらんしからば我儕彼に勝て仇を報ゆることをえんと

For I heard the reproaches of many, and terror on every side: Persecute him, and let us persecute him: from all the men that were my familiars, and continued at my side: if by any means he may be deceived, and we may prevail against him, and be revenged on him.

11 然どヱホバは強き勇士のごとくにして我と偕にいます故に我を攻る者は蹶きて勝ことをえずそのなし遂ざるが爲に大なる恥辱を取ん其羞恥は何時迄も忘られざるべし

But the Lord is with me as a strong warrior: therefore they that persecute me shall fall, and shall be weak: they shall be greatly confounded, because they have not understood the everlasting reproach, which never shall be effaced.

12 義人を試み人の心膓を見たまふ萬軍のヱホバよ我汝に訴を申たれば我をして汝が彼らに仇を報すを見せしめよ

And thou, O Lord of hosts, prover of the just, who seest the reins and the heart: let me see, I beseech thee, thy vengeance on them: for to thee I have laid open my cause.

13 ヱホバに歌を謠へよヱホバを頌めよそは貧者の生命を惡者の手より救ひ給へばなり

Sing ye to the Lord, praise the Lord: because he hath delivered the soul of the poor out of the hand of the wicked.

14 ああ我生れし日は詛はれよ我母のわれを生し日は祝せられざれ

Cursed be the day wherein I was borne: let not the day in which my mother bore me, be blessed.

15 わが父に男子汝に生れしと告て父を大に喜ばせし人は詛はれよ

Cursed be the man that brought the tidings to my father, saying: A man child is born to thee: and made him greatly rejoice.

16 其人はヱホバの憫まずして滅したまひし邑のごとくなれよ彼をして朝に號呼をきかしめ午間に鬨聲をきかしめよ

Let that man be as the cities that the Lord hath overthrown, and hath not repented: let him hear a cry in the morning, and howling at noontide:

17 彼我を胎のうちに殺さず我母を我の墓となさず常にその胎を大ならしめざりしが故なり

Who slew me not from the womb, that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb an everlasting conception.

18 我何なれば胎をいでて艱難と憂患をかうむり恥辱をもて日を送るや

Why came I out of the womb, to see labour and sorrow, and that my days should be spent in confusion?
