< 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 which Jeremiah the prophet spoke unto Baruch the son of Neriyah, when he wrote these words in a book out of the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, saying,
Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning thee, 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
Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the Lord hath added grief to my pain; I am wearied in my sighing, and rest have I not found;
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 shalt thou say unto him, Thus hath the Lord said, Behold, what I have built will I pull down, and what I have planted I will pluck up; and so it is with 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 wouldst thou indeed seek great things for thyself? seek them not; for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the Lord; but I will give thy life unto thee as a booty in all the places whither thou mayest go.
