エレミヤ書 29
1 預言者ヱレミヤ、ヱルサレムより書をかの擄へうつされて餘れるところの長老および祭司と預言者ならびにネブカデネザルがヱルサレムよりバビロンに移したるすべての民に送れり
And these [are] the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the remnant of [the] elderly of the expulsion, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people—whom Nebuchadnezzar removed from Jerusalem to Babylon,
2 是より先ヱコニヤ王と王后と寺人およびユダとヱルサレムの牧伯等および木匠と鐵匠はヱルサレムをされり
after the going forth of Jeconiah the king, and the mistress, and the officers, heads of Judah and Jerusalem, and the craftsman, and the smith, from Jerusalem—
3 ヱレミヤその書をシヤパンの子エラサおよびヒルキヤの子ゲマリヤ即ちユダの王ゼデキヤがバビロンにつかはしてバビロンの王ネブカデネザルにいたらしむる者の手によりて送れり其書にいはく
by the hand of Eleasah son of Shaphan, and Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, saying,
4 萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神すべて擄うつされし者即ち我ヱルサレムよりバビロンに移さしめし者にかくいふ
“Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, to all the expulsion that I removed from Jerusalem to Babylon:
5 汝ら屋を建てこれに住ひ圃をつくりてその果をくらへ
Build houses and abide; and plant gardens and eat their fruit;
6 妻を娶て子女をうみ又汝らの子に媳を娶り汝らの女を嫁がしめ彼らに子女を生しめよ此は汝等かしこに減ずして增んがためなり
take wives and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, and they bear sons and daughters; and multiply there, and you are not few;
7 我汝らを擄移さしめしところの邑の安を求めこれが爲にヱホバにいのれその邑の安によりて汝らもまた安をうればなり
and seek the peace of the city to where I have removed you, and pray to YHWH for it, for in its peace you have peace.
8 萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ汝らの中の預言者と卜筮士に惑はさるる勿れまた汝ら自ら作りしところの夢に聽したがふ勿れ
For thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Do not let your prophets who [are] in your midst, and your diviners, lift you up, nor listen to their dreams, that you are causing [them] to dream;
9 そは彼ら我名をもて謊を汝らに預言すればなり我彼らを遣さずヱホバいひたまふ
for they are prophesying with falsehood to you in My Name; I have not sent them, a declaration of YHWH.
10 ヱホバかくいひたまふバビロンに於て七十年滿なばわれ汝らを眷み我嘉言を汝らになして汝らをこの處に歸らしめん
For thus said YHWH: Surely at the fullness of Babylon—seventy years—I inspect you, and have established My good word toward you, to bring you back to this place.
11 ヱホバいひたまふ我が汝らにむかひて懷くところの念は我これを知るすなはち災をあたへんとにあらず平安を與へんとおもひ又汝らに後と望をあたへんとおもふなり
For I have known the thoughts that I am thinking toward you—a declaration of YHWH; thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give posterity and hope to you.
12 汝らわれに龥はり往て我にいのらん我汝らに聽べし
And you have called Me, and have gone, and have prayed to Me, and I have listened to you,
13 汝らもし一心をもて我を索めなば我に尋ね遇はん
and you have sought Me, and have found, for you seek Me with all your heart;
14 ヱホバいひたまふ我汝らの遇ところとならんわれ汝らの俘擄を解き汝らを萬國よりすべて我汝らを逐やりし處より集め且我汝らをして擄らはれて離れしめしその處に汝らをひき歸らんとヱホバいひたまふ
and I have been found by you—a declaration of YHWH; and I have turned back [to] your captivity, and have gathered you out of all the nations, and out of all the places to where I have driven you—a declaration of YHWH—and I have brought you back to the place from where I removed you.
15 ヱホバわれらの爲にバビロンに於て預言者を立たまひしと汝らはいふ
Because you have said, YHWH has raised up prophets to us in Babylon,
16 ダビデの位に坐する王とこの邑に住るすべての民汝らと偕にとらへ移されざりし兄弟につきてヱホバかくいひたまふ
surely thus said YHWH concerning the king who is sitting on the throne of David, and concerning all the people that are dwelling in this city, your brothers who did not go forth with you in the expulsion—
17 萬軍のヱホバかくいふ視よわれ劍と饑饉と疫病を彼らにおくり彼らを惡くして食はれざる惡き無花果のごとくになさん
thus said YHWH of Hosts: Behold, I am sending the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, and I have given them up as figs that [are] vile, that are not eaten because of badness.
18 われ劍と饑饉と疫病をもて彼らを逐ひまた彼らを地の萬國にわたして虐にあはしめ我彼らを逐やる諸國に於て呪詛となり詫異となり人の嗤笑となり恥辱とならしめん
And I have pursued after them with sword, with famine, and with pestilence, and have given them for a trembling to all kingdoms of the earth, for a curse and for an astonishment, and for a hissing, and for a reproach among all the nations to where I have driven them,
19 是彼ら我言を聽ざればなりとヱホバいひたまふ我この言を我僕なる預言者によりて遣り頻におくれども汝ら聽ざるなりとヱホバいひたまふ
because that they have not listened to My words—a declaration of YHWH—that I sent to them by My servants the prophets, rising early and sending, and you did not listen—a declaration of YHWH.
20 わがヱルサレムよりバビロンにおくりし諸の俘擄人よ汝らヱホバの言をきけ
And you, hear a word of YHWH, all you of the captivity that I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon—
21 我名をもて謊を汝らに預言するコラヤの子アハブとマアセヤの子ゼデキヤにつきて萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいふ視よわれ彼らをバビロンの王ネブカデネザルの手に付さん彼これを汝らの目の前に殺すべし
thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, concerning Ahab son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying falsehood to you in My Name: Behold, I am giving them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he has struck them before your eyes,
22 バビロンにあるユダの俘擄人は皆彼らをもて詛となし願くはヱホバ汝をバビロンの王が火にて焚しゼデキヤとアハブのごとき者となしたまはん事をといふ
and because of them a reviling has been taken by all the expulsion of Judah that [are] in Babylon, saying, YHWH sets you as Zedekiah, and as Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted with fire;
23 こは彼らイスラエルの中に惡をなし鄰の妻を犯し且我彼らに命ぜざる謊の言をわが名をもて語りしによる我これを知りまた證すとヱホバいひたまふ
because that they have done folly in Israel, and commit adultery with the wives of their neighbors, and falsely speak a word in My Name that I have not commanded them, and I [am] He who knows and a witness—a declaration of YHWH.
24 汝ネヘラミ人シマヤにかく語りいふべし
And you speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,
25 萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいふ汝おのれの名をもて書をヱルサレムにある諸の民と祭司マアセヤの子ゼパニヤおよび諸の祭司に送りていふ
Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, saying, Because that you have sent letters in your name to all the people who [are] in Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
26 ヱホバ汝を祭司ヱホヤダに代て祭司となし汝らをヱホバの室の監督となしたまふ此すべて狂妄ひ且みづから預言者なりといふ者を獄と桎梏につながしめんためなり
YHWH has made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, for there being inspectors of the house of YHWH over every man [who] is mad and making himself a prophet, and you have put him in the stocks and in the pillory.
27 然るに汝いま何故に汝らにむかひてみづから預言者なりといふところのアナトテのヱレミヤを斥責めざるや
And now, why have you not pushed against Jeremiah of Anathoth, who is making himself a prophet to you?
28 そは彼バビロンにをる我儕に書を送り時尚長ければ汝ら家を建て之に住ひ圃をつくりてその實をくらへといへり
Because that he has sent to us [in] Babylon, saying, It [is] long, build houses and abide; and plant gardens and eat their fruit.”
29 祭司ゼパニヤこの書を預言者ヱレミヤに讀きかせたり
And Zephaniah the priest reads this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
30 時にヱホバの言ヱレミヤにのぞみていふ
And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah, saying,
31 諸の俘擄人に書をおくりて云べしネヘラミ人シマヤの事につきてヱホバかくいふ我シマヤを遣さざるに彼汝らに預言し汝らに謊を信ぜしめしによりて
“Send to all the expulsion, saying, Thus said YHWH concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because that Shemaiah prophesied to you, and I have not sent him, and he causes you to trust on falsehood,
32 ヱホバかくいふ視よ我ネヘラミ人シマヤと其子孫を罰すべし彼ヱホバに逆くことを敎へしによりて此民のうちに彼に屬する者一人も住ふことなからん且我民に吾がなさんとする善事をみざるべしとヱホバいひたまふ
therefore, thus said YHWH: Behold, I am seeing after Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and after his seed, he has none dwelling in the midst of this people, nor does he look on the good that I am doing to My people,” a declaration of YHWH, “for he has spoken apostasy against YHWH.”
