< 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 Pashhur the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the house of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.
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
Then Pashhur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was 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 it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him: 'The LORD hath not called thy name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.
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 make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it; and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall slay 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
Moreover I will give all the store of this city, and all the gains thereof, and all the wealth thereof, yea, all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, who shall spoil them, and take them, 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
And thou, Pashhur, and all that dwell in thy house shall go into captivity; and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and there shalt thou be buried, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied falsely.'
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
O LORD, Thou hast enticed me, and I was enticed, Thou hast overcome me, and hast prevailed; I am become a laughing-stock all the day, every one mocketh 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 as often as I speak, I cry out, I cry: 'Violence and spoil'; because the word of the LORD is made a reproach unto 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
And if I say: 'I will not make mention of Him, nor speak any more in His name', then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I weary myself to hold it in, but cannot.
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 have heard the whispering of many, terror on every side: 'Denounce, and we will denounce him'; even of all my familiar friends, them that watch for my halting: 'Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge 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 mighty warrior; therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail; they shall be greatly ashamed, because they have not prospered, even with an everlasting confusion which shall never be forgotten.
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
But, O LORD of hosts, that triest the righteous, that seest the reins and the heart, let me see Thy vengeance on them; for unto Thee have I revealed 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 unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD; for He hath delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evil-doers.
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 born; the day wherein my mother bore me, let it not 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 who brought tidings to my father, saying: 'A man-child is born unto thee'; making him very glad.
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
And let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and repented not; and let him hear a cry in the morning, and an alarm 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
Because He slew me not from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.
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
Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed in shame?
