エレミヤ書 32
1 ユダの王ゼデキヤの十年即ちネブカデネザルの十八年の頃ヱホバの言ヱレミヤにのぞめり
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
2 その時バビロンの軍勢ヱルサレムを攻環み居て預言者ヱレミヤはユダの王の室にある獄の庭の内に禁錮られたり
Now at that time the king of Babylon's army was besieging Jerusalem; and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah's house.
3 ユダの王ゼデキヤ彼を禁錮ていひけるは汝何故に預言してヱホバかく云たまふといふや云く視よ我この邑をバビロン王の手に付さん彼之を取るべし
For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, "Why do you prophesy, and say, 'Thus says the LORD, "Look, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
4 またユダの王ゼデキヤはカルデヤ人の手より脱れず必ずバビロン王の手に付され口と口とあひ語り目と目あひ觀るべし
and Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall see his eyes;
5 彼ゼデキヤをバビロンに携きゆかんゼデキヤはわが彼を顧る時まで彼處に居んとヱホバいひたまふ汝らカルデヤ人と戰ふとも勝ことを得じと
and he shall bring Zedekiah to Babylon, and he shall be there until I visit him," says the LORD: "though you fight with the Chaldeans, you shall not prosper?"'"
6 ヱレミヤいふヱホバの言われに臨みていはく
Jeremiah said, "The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
7 みよ汝の叔父シヤルムの子ハナメル汝にきたりていはん汝アナトテに在るわが田地を買へそは之を贖ふ事は汝の分なればなりと
'Look, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle shall come to you, saying, "Buy my field that is in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is yours to buy it."'
8 かくてヱホバの言のごとく我叔父の子ハナメル獄の庭にて我に來り云けるは願くは汝ベニヤミンの地のアナトテに在るわが田地を買へそは之を嗣ぎこれを贖ふことは汝の分なれば汝みつからこれを買ひとれとここに於てわれ此はヱホバの言なりと知りたれば
So Hanamel my uncle's son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of the LORD, and said to me, "Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself.' Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.
9 我叔父の子ハナメルがアナトテにもてる田地をかひて彼に銀十七シケルを稱てあたふ
I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel my uncle's son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.
10 すなはち我その契劵を書てこれに封印し證人をたて權衡をもて銀を稱て與ふ
I subscribed the deed, and sealed it, and called witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.
11 而してわれその約定をのするところの封印せし買劵とその開きたるものを取り
So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, containing the terms and conditions, and that which was open;
12 わが叔父の子ハナメルと買劵に印せし證人の前および獄の庭に坐するユダ人の前にてその買劵をマアセヤの子なるネリヤの子バルクに與へ
and I delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my cousin, and in the presence of the witnesses who subscribed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the guard.
13 彼らの前にてわれバルクに命じていひけるは
I commanded Baruch before them, saying,
14 萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かく云たまふ汝これらの契劵すなはち此買劵の封印せし者と開きたるものを取り之を瓦器の中に貯へて多くの日の間保たしめよ
'Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel; that they may continue many days."'
15 萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふそは此地に於て人復屋と田地と葡萄園を買ふにいたらんと
For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Houses and fields and vineyards shall yet again be bought in this land.'
16 われ買契をネリヤの子バルクに付せしのちヱホバに祈りて云ひけるは
Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD, saying,
17 嗚呼主ヱホバよ汝はその大なる能力と伸たる腕をもて天と地を造りたまへり汝には爲す能はざるところなし
'Ah, LORD. Look, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm; there is nothing too difficult for you,
18 汝は恩寵を千萬人に施し又父の罪をその後の子孫の懷に報いたまふ汝は大なる全能の神にいまして其名は萬軍のヱホバとまうすなり
who show loving kindness to thousands, and recompense the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them; the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts is his name;
19 汝の謀略は大なり汝は事をなすに能あり汝の目は人のこどもらの諸の途を鑒はしおのおのの行に循ひその行爲の果によりて之に報いたまふ
great in counsel, and mighty in work; whose eyes are open on all the ways of human beings, to give to each person according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
20 汝休徴と奇跡をエジプトの地に行ひたまひて今日にまでいたるまたイスラエルと他の民の中にも然りかくして今日のごとくに汝の名を揚たまへり
You performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and to this day in Israel and among all humankind, and have made a name for yourself to this day.
21 汝は休徴と奇跡と強き手と伸たる腕と大なる怖しき事をもて汝の民イスラエルをエジプトの地より導きいだし
You brought forth your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;
22 この地を彼らにたまへり是即ち汝がかれらの先祖等に與へんと誓ひたまひし乳と蜜の流るる地なり
and gave them this land, which you swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;
23 彼等すなはち入てこれを獲たりしかども汝の聲に遵はず汝の例典を行はず凡て汝がなせと命じたまひし事を爲ざりしによりて汝この災を其上にくだらしむ
and they came in, and possessed it, but they did not obey your voice, neither walked in your law; they have done nothing of all that you commanded them to do: therefore you have caused all this evil to come on them.
24 みよ壘成れり是この邑を取んとて來れるなり劍と饑饉と疫病のためにこの邑は之を攻むるカルデヤ人の手に付さる汝のいひたまひしことば旣に成れり汝之を見たまふなり
Look, the mounds, they have come to the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence; and what you have spoken has happened; and look, you see it.
25 主ヱホバよ汝われに銀をもて田地を買へ證人を立よといひたまへり然るにこの邑はカルデヤ人の手に付さる
You have said to me, Lord GOD, "Buy the field for money, and call witnesses"; whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.'"
26 時にヱホバの言ヱレミヤに臨みていふ
Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, saying,
27 みよ我はヱホバなりすべて血氣ある者の神なり我に爲す能はざるところあらんや
"Look, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too difficult for me?
28 故にヱホバかくいふ視よわれ此邑をカルデヤ人の手とバビロンの王ネブカデネザルの手に付さん彼これを取るべし
Therefore thus says the LORD: 'Look, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:
29 この邑を攻るところのカルデヤ人きたり火をこの邑に放ちて之を焚ん屋蓋のうへにて人がバアルに香を焚き他の神に酒をそそぎて我を怒らせしその屋をも彼ら亦焚ん
and the Chaldeans, who fight against this city, shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses, on whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger.
30 そはイスラエルの子孫とユダの子孫はその幼少時よりわが前に惡き事のみをなしまたイスラエルの民はその手の作爲をもて我をいからする事のみをなしたればなりヱホバ之をいふ
For the children of Israel and the people of Judah have done only that which was evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, says the LORD.
31 此邑はその建し日より今日にいたるまで我震怒を惹き我憤恨をおこすところの者なれば我前よりわれ之を除かんとするなり
For this city has been to me a provocation of my anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even to this day; that I should remove it from before my face,
32 こはイスラエルの民とユダの民諸の惡を行ひて我を怒らせしによりてなり彼らその王等その牧伯等その祭司その預言者およびユダの人々とヱルサレムに住る者皆然なせり
because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the people of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their officials, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
33 彼ら背を我にむけて面を我にむけずわれ彼らををしへ頻に敎ふれどもかれらは敎をきかずしてうけざるなり
They have turned to me the back, and not the face: and though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened to receive instruction.
34 彼らは憎むべき物をわが名をもて稱へらるる室にたてて之を汚し
But they set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.
35 又ベンヒンノムの谷にあるバアルの崇邱を築きその子女をモロクに献げたりわれは彼らにこの憎むべきことを行ひてユダに罪を犯さしむることを命ぜず斯る事は我心におこらざりしなり
They built the high places of Baal, which are in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through fire to Molech; which I did not command them, neither did it come into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.'
36 いまイスラエルの神ヱホバこの邑すなはち汝らが劍と饑饉と疫病のためにバビロン王の手に付されんといひしところの邑につきて斯いひたまふ
"Now therefore thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city, about which you say, 'It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence':
37 みよわれ我震怒と憤恨と大なる怒をもて彼らを逐やりし諸の國より彼らを集め此處に導きかへりて安然に居らしめん
'Look, I will gather them out of all the countries, where I have driven them in my anger, and in my wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them again to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:
38 彼らは我民となり我は彼らの神とならん
and they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
39 われ彼らに一の心と一の途をあたへて常に我を畏れしめんこは彼らと其子孫とに福をえせしめん爲なり
and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their good, and of their children after them:
40 われ彼らを棄ずして恩を施すべしといふ永遠の契約をかれらにたて我を畏るるの畏をかれらの心におきて我を離れざらしめん
and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me.
41 われ悦びて彼らに恩を施し心を盡し精神をつくして誠に彼らを此地に植べし
Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.'
42 ヱホバかくいひたまふわれ此諸の大なる災をこの民に降せしごとくわがかれらに言し諸の福を彼等に降さん
"For thus says the LORD: 'Just as I have brought all this great disaster on this people, so will I bring on them all the good that I have promised them.
43 人衆この地に田野を買はん是汝等が荒て人も畜もなきにいたりカルデヤ人の手に付されしといへる地なり
Fields shall be bought in this land, about which you say, "It is desolate, without man or animal; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans."
44 人衆ベニヤミンの地とヱルサレムの四周とユダの邑々と山の邑々と平地の邑々と南の方の邑々において銀をもて田野をかひ契劵を書きてこれに封印し又證人をたてんそは我かの俘囚者を歸らしむればなりとヱホバいひたまふ
Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe the deeds, and seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill country, and in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the Negev: for I will cause their captivity to return,' says the LORD."
