エレミヤ書 26
1 ユダの王ヨシヤの子ヱホヤキムが位に即し初のころヱホバより此言いでていふ
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word from Jehovah, saying: —
2 ヱホバかくいふ汝ヱホバの室の庭に立我汝に命じていはしむる諸の言をユダの邑々より來りてヱホバの室に拜をする人々に告よ一言をも減す勿れ
Thus saith Jehovah: Stand in the court of the house of Jehovah, and speak to those who come from all the cities of Judah to worship in the house of Jehovah all the words which I have commanded thee to speak to them; abate not a word.
3 彼等聞ておのおの其惡き途を離るることあらん然ば我かれらの行の惡がために災を彼らに降さんとせることを悔べし
If peradventure they will hearken and turn every one from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil which I purpose to do to them because of their evil doings.
4 汝彼等にヱホバかくいふといへ汝等もし我に聽ずわが汝らの前に置し律法を行はず
And thou shalt say to them, Thus saith Jehovah: If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law which I have set before you,
5 我汝らに遣し切に遣せし我僕なる預言者の言を聽ずば(汝らは之をきかざりき)
to hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent to you, rising early and sending, and ye have not hearkened,
6 我この室をシロの如くになし又この邑を地の萬國に詛はるる者となすべし
then will I make this house like Shiloh, and this city will I make a curse to all the nations of the earth.
7 祭司と預言者及び民みなヱレミヤがヱホバの室に立てこの言をのぶるをきけり
And the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Jehovah.
8 ヱレミヤ、ヱホバに命ぜられし諸の言を民に告畢りしとき祭司と預言者および諸の民彼を執へいひけるは汝は必ず死べし
And when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that Jehovah had commanded him to speak to all the people, then the priests and the prophets and all the people seized him, and said, Thou shalt surely die!
9 汝何故にヱホバの名をもて預言し此室はシロの如くになりこの邑は荒蕪となりて住む者なきにいたらんと云しやと民みなヱホバの室にあつまりてヱレミヤを攻む
Why dost thou prophesy in the name of Jehovah, and say, This house shall be as Shiloh, and this city shall be made desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were assembled together against Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah.
10 ユダの牧伯等この事をききて王の家をいでヱホバの室にのぼりてヱホバの家の新しき門の入口に坐せり
When the princes of Judah heard these things, they went up from the king's house to the house of Jehovah, and sat in the entrance of the new gate of the house of Jehovah.
11 祭司と預言者等牧伯等とすべての民に訴ていふ此人は死にあたる者なり是は汝らが耳に聽しごとくこの邑にむかひて惡き預言をなしたるなり
Then spake the priests and the prophets to the princes and to all the people, saying: This man is worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.
12 是に於てヱレミヤ牧伯等とすべての民にいひけるはヱホバ我を遣し汝らが聽る諸の言をもて此宮とこの邑にむかひて預言せしめたまふ
Then spake Jeremiah to all the princes and to all the people, saying: Jehovah hath sent me to prophesy against this house, and against this city, all the words which ye have heard.
13 故に汝らいま汝らの途と行爲をあらためて汝らの神ヱホバの聲にしたがへ然ばヱホバ汝らに災を降さんとせしことを悔たまふべし
But now amend ye your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of Jehovah, your God, and Jehovah will repent of the evil which he hath pronounced against you.
14 みよ我は汝らの手にあり汝らの目に善とみゆるところ義とみゆることを我に行へ
And as for me, behold, I am in your hands; do to me as it seemeth good and right in your eyes.
15 然ど汝ら善くこれを知れ汝らもし我を殺さば必ず無辜ものの血なんぢらの身とこの邑と其中に住る者に歸せんヱホバ我を遣してこの諸の言を汝らの耳につげしめたまひしなればなり
But know ye for certain that, if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and its inhabitants; for of a truth Jehovah hath sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.
16 牧伯等とすべての民すなはち祭司と預言者にいひけるは此人は死にあたる者にあらず是は我らの神ヱホバの名によりて我儕に語りしなりと
Then said the princes and all the people to the priests and the prophets: This man is not worthy to die, for he hath spoken to us in the name of Jehovah, our God.
17 時にこの地の長老數人立て民のすべての集れる者につげていひけるは
Certain elders of the land also rose up, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying:
18 ユダの王ヒゼキヤの代にモレシテ人ミカ、ユダの民に預言して云けらく萬軍のヱホバかくいひ給ふシオンは田地のごとく耕されヱルサレムは邱墟となり此室の山は樹深き崇邱とならんと
Micah, the Morasthite, prophesied in the days of Hezekiah, king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Zion shall be ploughed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps of stones, and the mountain of the house [[of Jehovah]] as the heights of a forest.
19 ユダの王ヒゼキヤとすべてのユダ人は彼を殺さんとせしことありしやヒゼキヤ、ヱホバを畏れヱホバに求ければヱホバ彼らに降さんと告給ひし災を悔給ひしにあらずや我儕かく爲すは自己の靈魂をそこなふ大なる惡をなすなり
Did Hezekiah, king of Judah, and all Judah, put him to death? Did he not fear Jehovah, and beseech Jehovah, so that Jehovah repented of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Shall we then bring so great an evil upon ourselves?
20 又前にヱホバの名をもて預言せし人あり即ちキリヤテヤリムのシマヤの子ウリヤなり彼ヱレミヤの凡ていへるごとく此邑とこの地にむかひて預言せり
There was also another man that prophesied in the name of Jehovah, Urijah, the son of Shemaiah of Kirjath-jearim, who prophesied against this city and this land, according to all the words of Jeremiah;
21 ヱホヤキム王と其すべての勇士とすべての牧伯等その言を聽り是において王彼を殺さんと欲ひしがウリヤこれをきき懼てエジプトに逃ゆきしかば
and when Jehoiakim the king, and all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death. But when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled and went into Egypt.
22 ヱホヤキム王人をエジプトに遣せり即ちアクボルの子エルナタンに數人をそへてエジプトにつかはしければ
But Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him into Egypt,
23 彼らウリヤをエジプトより引出しヱホヤキム王の許に携きたりしに王劍をもて之を殺し其屍骸を賤者の墓に棄させたりと
and they brought Urijah out of Egypt, and carried him to King Jehoiakim, who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.
24 時にシヤパンの子アヒカム、ヱレミヤをたすけこれを民の手にわたして殺さざらしむ
Nevertheless, the hand of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, was with Jeremiah, that he should not be delivered into the hand of the people, to be put to death.
