エレミヤ書 30

1 ヱホバよりヱレミヤにのぞめる言いふ

The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,

2 イスラエルの神ヱホバかく告ていふ我汝に言し言をことごとく書に錄せ

Thus speaks Jehovah, the God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken to thee in a book.

3 ヱホバいふわれ我民イスラエルとユダの俘囚人を返す日きたらんヱホバこれをいふ我彼らをその先祖にあたへし地にかへらしめん彼らは之をたもたん

For, lo, the days come, says Jehovah, that I will turn again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, says Jehovah, and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

4 ヱホバのイスラエルとユダにつきていひたまひし言は是なり

And these are the words that Jehovah spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

5 ヱホバかくいふ我ら戰慄の聲をきく驚懼あり平安あらず

For thus says Jehovah: We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

6 汝ら子を產む男あるやを尋ね觀よ我男が皆子を產む婦のごとく手をその腰におき且その面色皆靑く變るをみるこは何故ぞや

Ask ye now, and see whether a man travails with child. Why do I see every man with his hands on his loins as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

7 哀しいかなその日は大にして之に擬ふべき日なし此はヤコブの患難の時なり然ど彼はこれより救出されん

Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it. It is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.

8 萬軍のヱホバいふ其日我なんぢの項よりその軛をくだきはなし汝の繩目をとかん異邦人は復彼を使役はざるべし

And it shall come to pass in that day, says Jehovah of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds. And strangers shall no more make him their bondman,

9 彼らは其神ヱホバと我彼らの爲に立んところの其王ダビデにつかふべし

but they shall serve Jehovah their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them.

10 ヱホバいふ我僕ヤコブよ懼るる勿れイスラエルよ驚く勿れ我汝を遠方より救ひかへし汝の子孫を其とらへ移されし地より救ひかへさんヤコブは歸りて平穩と寧靜をえん彼を畏れしむる者なかるべし

Therefore fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, says Jehovah, nor be dismayed, O Israel. For, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity, and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.

11 ヱホバいふ我汝と偕にありて汝を救はん設令われ汝を散せし國々を悉く滅しつくすとも汝をば滅しつくさじされど我道をもて汝を懲さん汝を全たく罰せずにはおかざるべし

For I am with thee, says Jehovah, to save thee. For I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered thee, but I will not make a full end of thee. But I will correct thee in measure, and will in no way leave thee unpunished.

12 ヱホバかくいふ汝の創は愈ず汝の傷は重し

For thus says Jehovah, Thy hurt is incurable, and thy wound grievous.

13 汝の訟を理す者なく汝の創を裹む膏藥あらず

There is none to plead thy cause, that thou may be bound up; thou have no healing medicines.

14 汝の愛する者は皆汝を忘れて汝を求めず是汝の愆の多きと罪の數多なるによりて我仇敵の撃がごとく汝を撃ち嚴く汝を懲せばなり

All who love thee have forgotten thee; they seek thee not. For I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased.

15 何ぞ汝の創のために叫ぶや汝の患は愈ることなし汝の愆の多きと罪の數多なるによりて我これを汝になすなり

Why do thou cry for thy hurt? Thy pain is incurable, for the greatness of thine iniquity. Because thy sins were increased, I have done these things to thee.

16 然どすべて汝を食ふ者は食はれすべて汝を虐ぐる者は皆とらはれ汝を掠むる者は掠められん凡て汝の物を奪ふ者は我これをして奪はるる事にあはしむべし

Therefore all those who devour thee shall be devoured, and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity. And those who despoil thee shall be a spoil, and all who prey upon thee I will give for a prey.

17 ヱホバいふ我汝に膏藥を貼り汝の傷を醫さんそは人汝を棄られし者とよび尋る者なきシオンといへばなり

For I will restore health to thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, says Jehovah, because they have called thee an outcast, saying, It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.

18 ヱホバかくいふ視よわれかの擄移されたるヤコブの天幕をかへし其住居をあはれまん斯邑はその故の丘垤に建られん城には宜き樣に人住はん

Thus says Jehovah: Behold, I will turn again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have compassion on his dwelling-places. And the city shall be built upon its own hill, and the palace shall be inhabited after its own manner.

19 感謝と歡樂者の聲とその中よりいでん我かれらを增ん彼ら少からじ我彼らを崇せん彼ら藐められじ

And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of those who make merry. And I will multiply them, and they shall not be few. I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

20 其子は疇昔のごとくあらん其集會は我前に固く立ん凡かれを虐ぐる者は我これを罰せん

Their sons also shall be as formerly, and their congregation shall be established before me. And I will punish all who oppress them.

21 其首領は本族よりいで其督者はその中よりいでん我彼をちかづけ彼に近かん誰かその生命を繋て我に近くものあらんやとヱホバいふ

And their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them. And I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach to me. For who is he who has had boldness to approach to me? says Jehovah.

22 汝等は我民となり我は汝らの神とならん

And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

23 みよヱホバの暴風あり怒と旋轉風いでて惡人の首をうたん

Behold, the tempest of Jehovah-wrath-has gone forth, a sweeping tempest. It shall burst upon the head of the wicked.

24 ヱホバの烈き忿はかれがその心の思を行ひてこれを遂るまでは息じ末の日に汝ら明にこれを曉らん

The fierce anger of Jehovah shall not return until he has executed, and till he has performed the intents of his heart. In the latter days ye shall understand it.
