< エレミヤ書 43 >
1 ヱレミヤ諸の民にむかひて其神ヱホバの言を盡く宣べその神ヱホバが己を遣して言しめたまへる其諸の言を宣をはりし時
And it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of Yahweh their God, with which Yahweh their God had sent him unto them, —even all these words,
2 ホシャヤの子アザリヤ、カレヤの子ヨハナンおよび驕る人皆ヱレミヤに語りていひけるは汝は謊をいふ我らの神ヱホバはエジプトにゆきて彼處に住む勿れと汝をつかはして云せたまはざるなり
then spake Azariah son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan son of Kareah, and all the proud men, —saying unto Jeremiah—Falsely, art thou speaking, Yahweh our God hath not sent thee to say, Ye shall not enter Egypt to sojourn there;
3 ネリヤの子バルク汝を唆して我らに逆はしむ是我らをカルデヤ人の手に付して殺さしめバビロンに移さしめん爲なり
but Baruch son of Neriah, is goading thee on against us, —that he may deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, to put us to death, or take us away captive to Babylon.
4 斯カレヤの子ヨハナンと軍勢の長等および民皆ヱホバの聲に遵はずしてユダの地に住ことをせざりき
So Johanan son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces and all the people, hearkened not, unto the voice of Yahweh, —by remaining in the land of Judah;
5 斯てカレヤの子ヨハナンと軍勢の長等はユダに遺れる者即ちその逐やられし國々よりユダの地に住んとて皈りし者
but Johanan son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces took all the remnant of Judah, who had returned, out of all the nations whither they had been driven to sojourn in the land of Judah:
6 男女嬰孩王の女たちおよび凡て侍衞の長ネブザラダンがシヤパンの子なるアヒカムの子ゲダリヤに付し置し者並に預言者ヱレミヤとネリヤの子バルクを取て
both the men and the women and the children, and the daughters of the king, and every soul that Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners had left, with Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, —and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch son of Neriah;
7 エジプトの地に至れり彼ら斯ヱホバの聲に遵はざりき而して遂にタパネスに至れり
and entered the land of Egypt, for they hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh, —yea entered as far as Tahpanhes.
Then came the word of Yahweh unto Jeremiah, in Tahpanhes, saying:
9 汝大なる石を手に取りユダの人々の目の前にてこれをタパネスに在るパロの室の入口の旁なる磚窰の泥土の中に藏して
Take in thy hand great stones and hide them in the mortar that is in the brickyard which is at the entrance of the house of Pharaoh in Tahpanhes, —before the eyes of the men of Judah.
10 彼らにいへ萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ視よわれ使者を遣はしてわが僕なるバビロンの王ネブカデネザルを召きその位をこの藏したる石の上に置しめん彼錦繡をその上に敷べし
Then shalt thou say unto them—Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel—Behold me! sending and fetching Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, my servant, and I will set his throne over these stones which I have hid, —and he shall spread his canopy over them.
11 かれ來りてエジプトの地を撃ち死に定まれる者を死しめ虜に定まれる者を虜にし劍に定まれる者を劍にかけん
And when he entereth, then will he smite the land of Egypt and deliver Him who is for death to death and Him who is for captivity to captivity, and Him who is for the sword to the sword.
12 われエジプトの諸神の室に火を燃さんネブカデネザル之を焚きかれらを虜にせん而して羊を牧ふ者のその身に衣を纒ふがごとくエジプトの地をその身に纒はん彼安然に其處をさるべし
So will I kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt, and he shall burn them and carry them away Captive, —and shall wrap the land of Egypt about him, just as a shepherd, wrappeth about, him his garment, and shall go forth from thence in peace;
13 彼はエジプトの地のベテシメシの偶像を毀ち火をもてエジプト人の諸神の室を焚べし
And he shall break in pieces the pillars of Beth-shemesh, which is in the land of Egypt, —And the houses of the gods of Egypt, shall he burn with fire.
