エレミヤ書 37
1 ヨシヤの子ゼデキヤ、ヱホヤキムの子コニヤに代りて王となるバビロンの王ネブカデネザル彼をユダの地に王となせしなり
THE WORD THAT CAME TO JEREMIAS FROM THE LORD, SAYING,
2 彼もその臣僕等もその地の人々もヱホバが預言者ヱレミヤによりて示したまひし言を聽ざりき
Thus speaks the Lord God of Israel, saying, Write all the words which I have spoken to thee in a book.
3 ゼデキヤ王シレミヤの子ユカルとマアセヤの子祭司ゼパニヤを預言者ヱレミヤに遣して請ふ汝我らの爲に我らの神ヱホバに祈れといはしむ
For, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel and Juda, said the Lord: and I will bring them back to the land which I gave to their fathers, and they shall be lords of it.
4 ヱレミヤは民の中に出入せりそはいまだ獄に入られざればなり
AND THESE ARE THE WORDS WHICH THE LORD SPOKE CONCERNING ISRAEL AND JUDA;
5 パロの軍勢のエジプトより來りしかばヱルサレムを攻圍みたるカルデヤ人は其音信をききてヱルサレムを退けり
Thus said the Lord: Ye shall hear a sound of fear, [there is] fear, and there is not peace.
6 時にヱホバの言預言者ヱレミヤにのぞみていふ
Enquire, and see if a male has born a child? and [ask] concerning the fear, wherein they shall hold their loins, and [look for] safety: for I have seen every man, and his hands are on his loins; [their] faces are turned to paleness.
7 イスラエルの神ヱホバかくいふ汝らを遣して我に求めしユダの王にかくいへ汝らを救はんとて出きたりしパロの軍勢はおのれの地エジプトへ歸らん
For that day is great, and there is not such [another]; and it is a time of straitness to Jacob; but he shall be saved out of it.
8 カルデヤ人再び來りてこの邑を攻て戰ひこれを取り火をもて焚べし
In that day, said the Lord, I will break the yoke off their neck, and will burst their bonds, and they shall no longer serve strangers:
9 ヱホバかくいふ汝らカルデヤ人は必ず我らをはなれて去んといひて自ら欺く勿れ彼らは去ざるべし
but they shall serve the Lord their God; and I will raise up to them David their king.
10 設令汝らおのれを攻て戰ふところのカルデヤ人の軍勢を悉く撃ちやぶりてその中に負傷人のみを遺すとも彼らはおのおの其幕屋に起ちあがり火をもて此邑を焚かん
11 茲にカルデヤ人の軍勢パロの軍勢を懼れてヱルサレムを退きければ
12 ヱレミヤ、ベニヤミンの地にて民の中にその分を分ち取らんとてヱルサレムを出でてかの地に行きしが
Thus saith the Lord; I have brought on [thee] destruction; thy stroke is painful.
13 ベニヤミンの門にいりし時そこにハナニヤの子シレミヤの子なるイリヤと名くる門守をり預言者ヱレミヤを執へて汝はカルデヤ人に降るなりといふ
There is none to judge thy cause: thou hast been painfully treated for healing, there is no help for thee.
14 ヱレミヤいひけるは詐なり我はカルデヤ人に降るにあらずと然どイリヤこれを聽ずヱレミヤを執へて侯伯等の許に引ゆけり
All thy friends have forgotten thee; they shall not ask [about thee] at all, for I have smitten thee with he stroke of an enemy, [even] severe correction: thy sins have abounded above all thine iniquity.
15 侯伯等すなはち怒りてヱレミヤを撻ちこれを書記ヨナタンの室の獄にいれたり蓋この室を獄となしたればなり
Thy sins have abounded beyond the multitude of thine iniquities, [therefore] they have done these things to thee. Therefore all that devour thee shall be eaten, and all thine enemies shall eat all their [own] flesh.
16 ヱレミヤ獄にいり土牢に入りてそこに多の日を送りしのち
And they that spoil thee shall become a spoil, and I will give up to be plundered all that have plundered thee.
17 ゼデキヤ王人を遣して彼をひきいださしむ而して王室にて竊にかれにいひけるはヱホバより臨める言あるやとヱレミヤ答へていひけるは有り汝はバビロン王の手に付されん
For I will bring about thy healing, I will heal thee of thy grievous wound, saith the Lord; for thou art called Dispersed: she is your prey, for no one seeks after her.
18 ヱレミヤまたゼデキヤ王にいひけるは我汝あるいは汝の臣僕或はこの民に何なる罪を犯したれば汝ら我を獄にいれしや
Thus said the Lord; Behold, I will turn the captivity of Jacob, and will have pity upon his prisoners; and the city shall be built upon her hill, and the people shall settle after their manner.
19 汝らに預言してバビロンの王は汝らにも此地にも攻來らじといひし汝らの預言者はいま何處にあるや
And there shall go forth from them singers, [even] the sound of men making merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not at all be diminished.
20 されば王わが君よ願くはいま我に聽たまへ請ふわが願望を受納れ給へ我を書記ヨナタンの家に歸らしめたまふなかれ恐らくは我彼處に死なんと
And their sons shall go in as before, and their testimonies shall be established before me, and I will visit them that afflict them.
21 是においてゼデキヤ王命じてヱレミヤを獄の庭にいれしめ且邑のパンの悉く盡るまでパンを製る者の街より日々に一片のパンを彼に與へしむ即ちヱレミヤは獄の庭にをる
And their mighty ones shall be over them, and their prince shall proceed of themselves; and I will gather them, and they shall return to me: for who is this that has set his heart to return to me? saith the Lord.
For the wrathful anger of the lord has gone forth, [even] a whirlwind of anger has gone forth: it shall come upon the ungodly.
The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until he shall execute [it], and until he shall establish the purpose of his heart: in the latter days ye shall know these things.
