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 which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah in the tenth year of Zedekiah, the 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
And at that time the army of the king of Babylon was laying siege to Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the house of the king of Judah.
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, the king of Judah, had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, “Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I am about to 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, the king of Judah, shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldaeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold 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 lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith Jehovah; though ye fight with the Chaldaeans, ye shall not prosper?”
6 ヱレミヤいふヱホバの言われに臨みていはく
Then said Jeremiah, The word of Jehovah came to me, and said:
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
Behold, Hanameel, the son of Shallum, thine uncle, will come to thee, and say, Buy thee my field which is in Anathoth, for thine is the redemption-right 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
And so Hanameel, the son of my uncle, came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of Jehovah, and said to me: Buy, I pray thee, my field, which is in Anathoth, for thine is the right of inheritance and redemption; buy it for thyself! Then I knew that this was the word of Jehovah.
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, therefore, the field of Hanameel, my uncle's son, in Anathoth, and I paid him the money, 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
And I wrote a deed, and sealed it, and took witnesses thereto, and weighed the silver 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
And I took the purchase-deed, that which was sealed according to the law and the statutes, 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 gave the purchase-deed to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the presence of Hanameel, my uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses, who subscribed their names to the purchase-deed, and in the presence of all the Jews who sat in the court of the prison.
13 彼らの前にてわれバルクに命じていひけるは
And I charged Baruch in their presence, 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 saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Take these writings, this sealed purchase-deed, and this open deed, and put them into an earthen vessel, that they may endure a great length of time.
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 saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Yet again shall houses and fields and vineyards 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
And when I had delivered the purchase-deed to Baruch, the son of Neriah, I prayed to Jehovah, 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, Jehovah! Behold, thou hast made the heavens and the earth by thy great power and thy stretched-out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.
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
Thou showest kindness to a thousand generations, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of the children who come after them. The great, the mighty God, Jehovah 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; for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men, to give every one 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
who hast displayed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt even to this day, and in Israel, and among other men, and hast made thee a name, as at 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
and hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched-out 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 hast given them this land, which thou didst swear 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 have come in and possessed it; but they have not obeyed thy voice, nor walked according to thy law. They have done nothing of all which thou commandedst them to do. Therefore hast thou caused all this evil to come upon 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
Behold, the mounds of the enemy have already come up against the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldaeans, who fight against it by means of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence; and what thou hast spoken is come to pass, and, behold, thou seest 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
And yet hast thou said to me, O Lord Jehovah, “Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses thereto!” when the city is given into the hand of the Chaldaeans.
26 時にヱホバの言ヱレミヤに臨みていふ
Then came the word of Jehovah 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
Behold, I, Jehovah, am the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard 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 saith Jehovah: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldaeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the 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 Chaldaeans who fight against this city shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses upon whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out incense 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 children of Judah have done nothing but evil before me from their youth; yea, the children of Israel have but provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith Jehovah.
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 hath been the object of my anger and my fury, from the day when they built it even to this day; that I might 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 wickedness of the children of Israel, and of the children of Judah, which they have committed to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, 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
For they have turned to me the back, and not the face; though I have taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet have they not hearkened 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
And they have 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
And they have built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to Moloch, which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should practise their 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
Yet now thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel concerning this city, of which ye say, “It is delivered 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
Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries whither I have driven them in my anger and my fury and my great wrath, and I will bring them back to this place, and I will cause them to dwell securely,
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, to fear me continually, that it may be well with them, and with 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 them, nor cease to do them good; for I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall 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
Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land in truth, 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 saith Jehovah: As I have brought upon this people all this great evil, so will I bring upon them all the good which 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
And fields shall yet be bought in this land, of which ye say, “It is desolate, without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldaeans.”
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
Fields shall men buy for money, and subscribe deeds, and seal them, and take 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 valley, and in the cities of the south; for I will bring them back from their captivity, saith Jehovah.
