< エレミヤ書 33 >
1 ヱレミヤ尚獄の庭に禁錮られてをる時ヱホバの言ふたたび彼に臨みていふ
Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
2 事をおこなふヱホバ事をなして之を成就るヱホバ其名をヱホバと名る者かく言ふ
"Thus says the LORD who made the earth, and who formed it to establish it; the LORD is his name:
3 汝我に龢求めよわれ汝に應へん又汝が知ざる大なる事と秘密たる事とを汝に示さん
'Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and hidden things, which you do not know.'
4 イスラエルの神ヱホバ壘と劍によりて毀たれたる此邑の室とユダの王の室につきてかくいひ給ふ
For thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down to make a defense against the mounds and against the sword;
5 彼らカルデヤ人と戰はんとて來る是には我震怒と憤恨をもて殺すところの人々の屍體充るにいたらん我かれらの諸の惡のためにわが面をこの邑に蔽ひかくせり
while men come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have killed in my anger and in my wrath, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden my face from this city:
6 視よわれ卷布と良藥をこれに持きたりて人々を醫し平康と眞實の豐厚なるをこれに示さん
'Look, I will bring it health and healing, and I will heal them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.
7 我ユダの俘囚人とイスラエルの俘囚人を歸らしめ彼らを建て從前のごとくになすべし
I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.
8 われ彼らが我にむかひて犯せし一切の罪を潔め彼らが我にむかひて犯し且行ひし一切の罪を赦さん
I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, by which they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, by which they have sinned against me, and by which they have transgressed against me.
9 此邑は地のもろもろの民の中において我がために欣喜の名となり頌美となり榮耀となるべし彼等はわが此民にほどこすところの諸の恩惠を聞ん而してわがこの邑にほどこすところの諸の恩惠と諸の福祿のために發振へ且身を動搖さん
This city shall be to me for a name of joy, for a praise and for a glory, before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do to them, and shall fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I procure to it.'
10 ヱホバかくいひ給へり汝らが荒れて人もなく畜もなしといひしこの處即ち荒れて人もなく住む者もなく畜もなきユダの邑とヱルサレムの街に
"Thus says the LORD: 'Yet again there shall be heard in this place, about which you say, "It is waste, without man and without animal," even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without animal,
11 再び欣喜の聲 歡樂の聲 新娶者の聲 新婦の聲および萬軍のヱホバをあがめよヱホバは善にしてその矜恤は窮なしといひて其感謝の祭物をヱホバの室に携ふる者の聲聞ゆべし蓋われこの地の俘囚人を返らしめて初のごとくになすべければなりヱホバ之をいひたまふ
the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who say, "Give thanks to the LORD of hosts, for the LORD is good, for his loving kindness endures forever; who bring thanksgiving into the house of the LORD." For I will cause the captivity of the land to return as at the first,' says the LORD.
12 萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふ荒れて人もなく畜もなきこの處と其すべての邑々に再び牧者のその群を伏しむる牧場あるにいたらん
Thus says the LORD of hosts: 'Yet again shall there be in this place, which is waste, without man and without animal, and in all its cities, a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
13 山の邑と平地の邑と南の方の邑とベニヤミンの地とヱルサレムの四周とユダの邑において群ふたたびその之を核ふる者の手の下を過らんとヱホバいひたまふ
In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the Negev, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks again pass under the hands of him who numbers them,' says the LORD.
14 ヱホバ言たまはく視よ我イスラエルの家とユダの家に語りし善言を成就ぐる日きたらん
'Look, the days come,' says the LORD, 'that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah.
15 その日その時にいたらばわれダビデの爲に一の義き枝を生ぜしめん彼は公道と公義を地に行ふべし
In those days, and at that time, will I cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up to David; and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
16 その日ユダは救をえヱルサレムは安らかに居らんその名はヱホバ我儕の義と稱へらるべし
In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely; and this is the name by which she shall be called: "The LORD our righteousness."
17 ヱホバかくいひたまふイスラエルの家の位に坐する人ダビデに缺ることなかるべし
For thus says the LORD: "David shall never want a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel;
18 また我前に燔祭をささげ素祭を燃し恒に犠牲を献ぐる人レビ人なる祭司に絕ざるべし
neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to burn meal offerings, and to do sacrifice continually."'"
The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
20 ヱホバかくいふ汝らもし我晝につきての契約と我夜につきての契約を破りてその時々に晝も夜もなからしむることをえば
"Thus says the LORD: 'If you can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, so that there shall not be day and night in their season;
21 僕ダビデに吾が立し契約もまた破れその子はかれの位に坐して王となることをえざらんまたわが我に事ふるレビ人なる祭司に立し契約も破れん
then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
22 天の星は數へられず濱の沙は量られずわれその如く我僕ダビデの裔と我に事ふるレビ人を增ん
As the host of heaven can't be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured; so will I multiply the offspring of David my servant, and the Levites who minister to me.'"
The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
24 汝この民の語りてヱホバはその選みし二の族を棄たりといふを聞ざるか彼らはかく我民を藐じてその眼にこれを國と見なさざるなり
"Do not consider what this people has spoken, saying, 'The two families which the LORD chose, he has cast them off?' Thus do they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
25 ヱホバかくいひ給ふもしわれ晝と夜とについての契約を立ずまた天地の律法を定めずば
Thus says the LORD: 'If my covenant of day and night fails, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
26 われヤコブと我僕ダビデとの裔をすてて再びかれの裔の中よりアブラハム、イサク、ヤコブの裔を治むる者を取ざるべし我その俘囚し者を返らしめこれを恤れむべし
then will I also cast away the descendants of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his descendants to be rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and will have mercy on them.'"
