< 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 Jehovah, 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 Jehovah, 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 brethren, 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 brought them into the house of Jehovah, 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 ye 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 not drink wine; for Jonadab, the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, ye nor your sons, forever;
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 ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any; but all your days ye shall dwell in tents, that ye may live long in the land wherein ye are 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
And we have obeyed the voice of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he charged us, to drink no wine all our days, neither we, nor our wives, nor 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 dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab, the son of Rechab, 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 Nebuchadnezzar, 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 Chaldaeans, 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 Jehovah 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 saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Go and say to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem: Will ye not receive instruction, to hearken to my words? saith Jehovah.
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, in which he commanded his sons not to drink wine, have been performed; for they have drunk no wine to this day, but have obeyed the commandment of their father. I also have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking, but ye have not hearkened 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
And I have sent to you all my servants, the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every one from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers; but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened 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
Since then the sons of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, have performed the commandment of their father which he commanded them, and this people have not hearkened 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 saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, all the evil which I have pronounced against them; because I have spoken to them, and they have not hearkened, and I have called to them, and 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 to the house of the Rechabites Jeremiah said: Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab, your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according to all which he 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 saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: There shall not fail in the land of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, men to stand before me forever.
