エレミヤ書 35

1 ユダの王ヨシヤの子ヱホヤキムの時ヱレミヤにのぞみしヱホバの言いふ

The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

2 汝レカブ人の家に往て彼らとかたり彼らをヱホバの室の一房に携きたりて酒をのませよと

Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.

3 是に於てわれハバジニヤの子なるヱレミヤの子ヤザニヤとその兄弟とその諸子およびレカブ人の全家を取り

Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, and his brothers, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;

4 これをヱホバの室にあるハナンの諸子の房につれきたれりハナンはイグダリヤの子にして神の人なり其房は牧伯等の房の次にして門を守るシヤレムの子マアセヤの房のうへに在り

And I brought them into the house of the LORD, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:

5 我すなはちレカブ人の家の諸子の前に酒を滿したる壺と杯を置き彼らに告て汝ら酒を飮めといひければ

And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said to them, Drink you wine.

6 彼らこたへけるは我儕は酒をのまず蓋レカブの子なる我らの先祖ヨナダブ我らに命じて汝等と汝らの子孫はいつまでも酒をのむべからず

But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, You shall drink no wine, neither you, nor your sons for ever:

7 また汝ら屋を建ず種をまかず葡萄園を植ざれ亦これを有べからず汝らの生存ふるあひだ幕屋にをれ然らば汝らが寄寓ところの地に於て汝らの生命長からんと云たればなり

Neither shall you build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any: but all your days you shall dwell in tents; that you may live many days in the land where you be strangers.

8 斯我らはレカブの子なるわれらの先祖ヨナダブの凡て命ぜし言に遵ひて我儕とわれらの妻と子女は生存ふるあひだ酒を飮ず

Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he has charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;

9 我らは住べき屋を建てず葡萄園も田野も種も有ずして

Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:

10 幕屋にをりすべて我儕の先祖ヨナダブが我らに命ぜしごとく行へり

But we have dwelled in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.

11 然どバビロンの王ネブカデネザルがこの地に上り來りしとき我ら云けるは我らカルデヤ人の軍勢とスリア人の軍勢を畏るれば去來ヱルサレムにゆかんとすなはち我らはヱルサレムに住へり

But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians: so we dwell at Jerusalem.

12 時にヱホバの言ヱレミヤにのぞみていふ

Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, saying,

13 萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいふ汝ゆきてユダの人々とヱルサレムに住る者とに告よヱホバいひたまふ汝らは我言を聽て敎を受ざるか

Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will you not receive instruction to listen to my words? said the LORD.

14 レカブの子ヨナダブがその子孫に酒をのむべからずと命ぜし言は行はる彼らは今日に至るまで酒をのまず其先祖の命令に遵ふなり然るに汝らは吾汝らに語り頻りに語れども我にきかざるなり

The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for to this day they drink none, but obey their father’s commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking; but you listened not to me.

15 我また我僕なる預言者たちを汝らに遣し頻りにこれを遣していはせけるは汝らいまおのおの其惡き道を離れて歸り汝らの行をあらためよ他の神に從ひて之に奉ふる勿れ然ば汝らはわが汝らと汝らの先祖に與へたるこの地に住ことをえんと然ど汝らは耳を傾けず我にきかざりき

I have sent also to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return you now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and you shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but you have not inclined your ear, nor listened to me.

16 レカブの子ヨナダブの子孫はその先祖が彼らに命ぜしところの命令に遵ふなり然ど此民は我に聽ず

Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded them; but this people has not listened to me:

17 この故に萬軍の神ヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいふ視よわれユダとヱルサレムに住る者とに我彼らにつきていひし所の災を降さん我かれらに語れども聽ずかれらを召ども應へざればなり

Therefore thus says the LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring on Judah and on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them: because I have spoken to them, but they have not heard; and I have called to them, but they have not answered.

18 茲にヱレミヤ、レカブ人の家にいひけるは萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ汝らはその先祖ヨナダブの命に遵ひその凡の誡を守り彼が汝らに命ぜしことを行ふ

And Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Because you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according to all that he has commanded you:

19 是によりて萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふレカブの子ヨナダブには我前に立つ人いつまでも缺ることあらじ

Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever.
