エレミヤ書 21
1 ゼデキヤ王マルキヤの子パシユルと祭司マアセヤの子ゼパニヤをヱレミヤに遣し
THE WORD THAT CAME FROM THE LORD TO JEREMIAS, WHEN KING SEDEKIAS SENT TO HIM PASCHOR THE SON OF MELCHIAS, AND SOPHONIAS SON OF BASAEAS, THE PRIEST, SAYING,
2 バビロンの王ネブカデネザル我らを攻むれば汝われらの爲にヱホバに求めよヱホバ恒のごとくそのもろもろの奇なる跡をもて我らを助けバビロンの王を我らより退かしめたまふことあらんと曰しむ其時ヱホバの言ヱレミヤに臨めり
Enquire of the Lord for us; for the king of Babylon has risen up against us; if the Lord will do according to all his wonderful works, and [the king] shall depart from us.
3 ヱレミヤ彼らにこたへけるは汝らゼデキヤにかく語ふべし
And Jeremias said to them, Thus shall you say to Sedekias king of Juda,
4 イスラエルの神ヱホバかくいひたまふ視よわれ汝らがこの邑の外にありて汝らを攻め圍むところのバビロン王およびカルデヤ人とたたかひて手に持ところのその武器をかへし之を邑のうちに聚めん
Thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] turn back the weapons of war wherewith you fight against the Chaldeans that have besieged you from outside the wall, and I will gather them into the midst of this city.
5 われ手を伸べ臂をつよくし震怒と憤恨と烈き怒をもて汝らをせむべし
And I will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, with wrath and great anger.
6 我また此邑にすめる人と畜を撃ん皆重き疫病によりて死べし
And I will strike all the dwellers in this city, [both] men and cattle, with grievous pestilence: and they shall die.
7 ヱホバいひたまふ此後われユダの王ゼデキヤとその諸臣および民此邑に疫病と劍と饑饉をまぬかれて遺れる者をバビロンの王ネブカデネザルの手と其敵の手および凡そその生命を索る者の手に付さんバビロンの王は劍の刃をもて彼らを撃ちかれらを惜まず顧みず恤れまざるべし
And after this, thus says the Lord; I will give Sedekias king of Juda, and his servants, and the people that is left in this city from the pestilence, and from the famine, and from the sword, into the hands of their enemies, that seek their lives: and they shall cut them in pieces with the edge of the sword: I will not spare them, and I will not have compassion upon them.
8 汝また此民にヱホバかくいふと語るべし視よわれ生命の道と死の道を汝らの前に置く
And you shall say to this people, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I have set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
9 この邑にとどまる者は劍と饑饉と疫病に死べしされど汝らを攻め圍むところのカルデヤ人に出降る者はいきん其命はおのれの掠取物となるべし
He that remains in this city shall die by the sword, and by famine: but he that goes forth to advance to the Chaldeans that have besieged you, shall live, and his life shall be to him for a spoil, and he shall live.
10 ヱホバいひたまふ我この邑に面を向しは福をあたふる爲にあらず禍をあたへんが爲なりこの邑はバビロンの王の手に付されん彼火をもて之を焚くべし
For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good: it shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall consume it with fire.
11 またユダの王の家に告べし汝らヱホバの言をきけ
O house of the king of Juda, hear you the word of the Lord.
12 ダビデの家よヱホバかくいふ汝朝ごとに義く鞫をなし物を奪はるる人をその暴逆者の手より救へ否ざれば汝らの行の惡によりて我怒火のごとくに發で燃て滅ざるべし
O house of David, thus says the Lord; Judge judgement in the morning, and act rightly, and rescue the spoiled one from the hand of him that wrongs him, lest mine anger be kindled like fire, and it burn, and there be none to quench [it].
13 ヱホバいひたまふ谷と平原の磐とにすめる者よみよ我汝に敵す汝らは誰か降て我儕を攻んや誰かわれらの居處にいらんやといふ
Behold, I am against you that dwell in the valley of Sor; in the plain country, [even against] them that say, Who shall alarm us? or who shall enter into our habitation?
14 我汝らをその行の果によりて罰せん又其林に火を起し其四周をことごとく焚つくすべしとヱホバいひたまふ
And I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.
