エレミヤ書 30
1 ヱホバよりヱレミヤにのぞめる言いふ
CONCERNING THE SONS OF AMMON thus says the Lord, Are there no sons in Israel? or have they no one to succeed [them]? therefore has Melchol inherited Galaad, and why shall their people dwell in their cities?
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
Therefore, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will cause to be heard in Rabbath a tumult of wars; and they shall become a waste and ruined place, and her altars shall be burnt with fire; then shall Israel succeed to his dominion.
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
Howl, O Esebon, for Gai has perished; cry, you daughters of Rabbath, gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament; for Melchol shall go into banishment, his priests and his princes together.
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
Why do you exult in the plains of the Enakim, you haughty daughter, that trust in [your] treasures, that say, Who shall come in to me?
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
Behold, I [will] bring terror upon you, says the Lord, from all the country round about you; and you shall be scattered every one right before him, and there is none to gather you.
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
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
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
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
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
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
12 ヱホバかくいふ汝の創は愈ず汝の傷は重し
13 汝の訟を理す者なく汝の創を裹む膏藥あらず
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
22 汝等は我民となり我は汝らの神とならん
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
CONCERNING DAMASCUS. Emath is brought to shame, and Arphath: for they have heard an evil report: they are amazed, they are angry, they shall be utterly unable to rest.
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
Damascus is utterly weakened, she is put to flight; trembling has seized upon her.
How has she not left my city, they have loved the village?
Therefore shall the young men fall in your streets, and all your warriors shall fall, says the Lord.
And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the streets of the son of Ader.
CONCERNING KEDAR THE QUEEN OF THE PALACE, WHOM NABUCHODONOSOR KING OF BABYLON SMOTE, thus says the Lord; Arise you, and go up to Kedar, and fill the sons of Kedem.
They shall take their tents and their sheep, they shall take for themselves their garments, and all their baggage and their camels; and summon you destruction against them from every side.
Flee you, dig very deep for a dwelling-place, you that dwell in the palace; for the king of Babylon has framed a counsel, and devised a device against you.
Rise up, and go up against a nation settled [and] dwelling at ease, who have no doors, nor bolts, nor bars, [who] dwell alone.
And their camels shall be a spoil, and the multitude of their cattle shall be destroyed: and I will scatter them as chaff with every wind, having their hair cut about their foreheads, I will bring on their overthrow from all sides, says the Lord.
And the palace shall be a resting-place for ostriches, and desolate for ever: no man shall abide there, and no son of man shall dwell there.
