< エレミヤ書 45 >
1 ユダの王ヨシヤの子ヱホヤキムの四年ネリヤの子バルクが此等の言をヱレミヤの口にしたがひて書に錄せしとき預言者ヱレミヤこれに語りていひけるは
The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to you, O Baruch:
3 汝曾ていへり嗚呼我は禍なるかなヱホバ我憂に悲を加へたまへり我は歎きて疲れ安きをえずと
You did say, Woe is me now! for the LORD has added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.
4 汝かく彼に語れヱホバかくいひたまふ視よわれ我建しところの者を毀ち我植しところの者を拔ん是この全地なり
Thus shall you say to him, The LORD says thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land.
5 汝己れの爲に大なる事を求むるかこれを求むる勿れ視よわれ災をすべての民に降さん然ど汝の生命は我汝のゆかん諸の處にて汝の掠物とならしめんとヱホバいひたまふ
And seek you great things for yourself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil on all flesh, says the LORD: but your life will I give to you for a prey in all places where you go.
