< 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
When Jeremiah had finished speaking to all the people all the words of the LORD their God, with which the LORD their God had sent him to 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 Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, Yochanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men spoke, saying to Jeremiah, “You speak falsely. The LORD our God has not sent you to say, ‘You shall not go into Egypt to live 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 the son of Neriah has turned you against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Kasdim, that they may put us to death or carry 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 Yochanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, didn’t obey the LORD’s voice, to dwell 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 Yochanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces took all the remnant of Judah, who had returned from all the nations where they had been driven, to live 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
the men, the women, the children, the king’s daughters, and every person who Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan; and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the 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
They came into the land of Egypt, for they didn’t obey the LORD’s voice; and they came to Tahpanhes.
Then the LORD’s word came to 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 great stones in your hand and hide them in mortar in the brick work which is at the entry of Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes, in the sight 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
Tell them, the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne on these stones that I have hidden; and he will spread his royal pavilion 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
He will come, and will strike the land of Egypt; such as are for death will be put to death, and such as are for captivity to captivity, and such as are 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
I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt. He will burn them, and carry them away captive. He will array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd puts on his garment; and he will go out from there 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
He will also break the pillars of Beth Shemesh that is in the land of Egypt; and he will burn the houses of the gods of Egypt with fire.’”
