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 LORD’s word came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still locked 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
“The LORD who does it, the LORD who forms it to establish it—the LORD is his name, says:
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 difficult things, which you don’t 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 the LORD, the God of Israel, says concerning the houses of this city and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down to make a defence 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
behold, I will bring it health and healing, and I will cure 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 restore the fortunes of Judah and Israel, 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. 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 will be to me for a name of joy, for praise, and for glory, before all the nations of the earth, which will hear all the good that I do to them, and will fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I provide 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
The LORD says: “Yet again there will 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 Armies, for the LORD is good, for his loving kindness endures forever;’ who bring thanksgiving into the LORD’s house. For I will cause the captivity of the land to be reversed 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
The LORD of Armies says: “Yet again there will 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, in the cities of the South, in the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again pass under the hands of him who counts 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
“Behold, 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, I will cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up to David. He will 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 Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell safely. This is the name by which she will 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 the LORD says: “David will never lack 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
The Levitical priests won’t lack a man before me to offer burnt offerings, to burn meal offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.”
19 ヱホバのことばヱレミヤに臨みていふ
The LORD’s word 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
“The LORD says: ‘If you can break my covenant of the day and my covenant of the night, so that there will not be day and night in their time,
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 my covenant could also be broken with David my servant, that he won’t have a son to reign on his throne; and with the Levitical 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 army of the sky can’t be counted, and the sand of the sea can’t be measured, so I will multiply the offspring of David my servant and the Levites who minister to me.’”
23 ヱホバの言またヱレミヤに臨みていふ
The LORD’s word 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
“Don’t consider what this people has spoken, saying, ‘Has the LORD cast off the two families which he chose?’ Thus 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
The LORD says: “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 I will also cast away the offspring of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his offspring to be rulers over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will cause their captivity to be reversed and will have mercy on them.”
