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 worde which came vnto Ieremiah from the Lord, when king Zedekiah sent vnto him Pashur, the sonne of Malchiah, and Zephaniah, the sonne of Maaseiah 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
Inquire, I pray thee, of the Lord for vs, (for Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel maketh warre against vs) if so be that the Lord will deale with vs according to all his wonderous workes, that he may returne vp from vs.
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
Then said Ieremiah, Thus shall you say to Zedekiah,
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 saith the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I will turne backe the weapons of warre that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against the King of Babel, and against the Caldeans, which besiege you without the walles, and I will assemble them into the middes of this citie.
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 my selfe will fight against you with an outstretched hand, and with a mighty arme, eue in anger and in wrath, and in great indignation.
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 smite the inhabitants of this citie, both man, and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence.
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, sayeth the Lord, I will deliuer Zedekiah the King of Iudah, and his seruants, and the people, and such as are left in this citie, from the pestilence, from the sworde and from the famine into the hande of Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel, and into the hande of their enemies, and into the hande of those that seeke their liues, and he shall smite them with the edge of the sworde: he shall not spare them, neither haue pitie nor compassion.
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 vnto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord, Beholde, I 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 abideth in this citie, shall dye by the sword and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Caldeans, that besiege you, he shall liue, and his life shalbe vnto him for a pray.
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 haue set my face against this citie, for euill and not for good, saith the Lord: it shalbe giuen into the hande of the King of Babel, and he shall burne 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
And say vnto the house of the King of Iudah, Heare ye the worde 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 Dauid, thus saith the Lord, Execute iudgement in the morning, and deliuer the oppressed out of the hande of the oppressor, lest my wrath go out like fire and burne, that none can quench it, because of the wickednes of your workes.
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
Beholde, I come against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rocke of the plaine, saith the Lord, which say, Who shall come downe against vs? or who shall enter into our habitations?
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
But I will visite you according to the fruite of your workes, saith the Lord, and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall deuoure rounde about it.
