エレミヤ書 46
1 茲にヱホバの言預言者ヱレミヤに臨みて諸國の事を論ふ
The word of the Lord that came to Jeremias the prophet against the Gentiles,
2 先エジプトの事すなはちユフラテ河の邊なるカルケミシの近傍にをるところのエジプト王パロネコの軍勢の事を論ふ是はユダの王ヨシヤの子ヱホヤキムの四年にバビロンの王ネブカデネザルが撃やぶりし者なり其言にいはく
Against Egypt, against the army of Pharao Nechao king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Charcamis, whom Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon defeated, in the fourth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda.
3 汝ら大楯小干を備へて進み戰へ
Prepare ye the shield and buckler, and go forth to battle.
4 馬を車に繋ぎ馬に乗り盔を被りて立て戈を磨き甲を着よ
Harness the horses, and get up, ye horsemen: stand forth with helmets, furbish the spears, put on coats of mail.
5 われ見るに彼らは懼れて退きその勇士は打敗られ狼狽遁て後をかへりみず是何故ぞや畏懼かれらのまはりにありとヱホバいひたまふ
What then? I have seen them dismayed, and turning their backs, their valiant ones slain: they fled apace, and they looked not back: terror was round about, saith the Lord.
6 快足なる者も逃えず強者も遁れえず皆北の方にてユフラテ河の旁に蹶き仆れん
Let not the swift flee away, nor the strong think to escape: they are overthrown, and fallen down, towards the north by the river Euphrates.
7 かのナイルのごとくに湧あがり河のごとくに其水さかまく者は誰ぞや
Who is this that cometh up as a flood: and his streams swell like those of rivers?
8 エジプトはナイルの如くに湧あがりその水は河の如くに逆まくなり而していふ我上りて地を蔽ひ邑とその中に住る者とを滅さん
Egypt riseth up like a flood, and the waves thereof shall be moved as rivers, and he shall say: I will go up and will cover the earth: I will destroy the city, and its inhabitants.
9 汝等馬に乗り車を驅馳らせよ勇士よ盾を執るエテオピア人プテ人および弓を張り挽くルデ人よ進みいづべし
Get ye up on horses, and glory in chariots, and let the valiant men come forth, the Ethiopians, and the Libyans that hold the shield, and the Lydians that take, and shoot arrows.
10 此は主なる萬軍のヱホバの復仇の日即ちその敵に仇を復し給ふ日なり劍は食ひて飽きその血に醉はん主なる萬軍のヱホバ北の地にてユフラテ河の旁に宰ることをなし給へばなり
For this is the day of the Lord the God of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may revenge himself of his enemies: the sword shall devour, and shall be filled, and shall be drunk with their blood: for there is a sacrifice of the Lord God of hosts in the north country, by the river Euphrates.
11 處女よエジプトの女よギレアデに上りて乳香を取れ汝多くの藥を用ふるも益なし汝は愈ざるべし
Go up into Galaad, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain dost thou multiply medicines, there shall be no cure for thee.
12 汝の恥辱は國々にきこえん汝の號泣は地に滿てり勇士は勇士にうち觸てともに仆る
The nations have heard of thy disgrace, and thy howling hath filled the land: for the strong hath stumbled against the strong, and both are fallen together.
13 バビロンの王ネブカデネザルが來りてエジプトの地を撃んとする事につきてヱホバの預言者ヱレミヤに告たまひし言
The word that the Lord spoke to Jeremias the prophet, how Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon should come and strike the land of Egypt:
14 汝らエジプトに宣べミグドルに示し又ノフ、タパネスに示しいふべし汝ら堅く立ちて自ら備よ 劍なんぢの四周を食ひたればなり
Declare ye to Egypt, and publish it in Magdal, and let it be known in Memphis, and in Taphnis: say ye: Stand up, and prepare thyself: for the sword shall devour all round about thee.
15 汝の力ある者いかにして拂ひ除かれしやその立ざるはヱホバこれを仆したまふに由るなり
Why are thy valiant men come to nothing? they stood not: because the Lord hath overthrown them.
16 彼多の者を蹶かせたまふ人其友の上に仆れかさなり而していふ起よ我ら滅すところの劍を避けてわが國にかへり故土にいたらんと
He hath multiplied them that fall, and one hath fallen upon another, and they shall say: Arise, and let us return to our own people, and to the land our nativity, from the sword of the dove.
17 人彼處に叫びてエジプトの王パロは滅されたり彼は機會を失へりといふ
Call ye the name of Pharao king Egypt, a tumult time hath brought.
18 萬軍のヱホバと名りたまふところの王いひたまふ我は活く彼は山々の中のタボルのごとく海の旁のカルメルのごとくに來らん
As I live, (saith the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts, ) as Thabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.
19 エジプトに住る女よ汝移轉の器皿を備へよそはノフは荒蕪となり燒れて住む人なきにいたるべければなり
Furnish thyself to go into captivity, thou daughter inhabitant of Egypt: for Memphis shall be made desolate, and shall be forsaken and uninhabited.
20 エジプトは至美しき牝の犢のごとし蜚虻きたり北の方より來る
Egypt is like a fair and beautiful heifer: there shall come from the north one that shall goad her.
21 また其中の傭人は肥たる犢のごとし彼ら轉向てともに逃げ立ことをせず是その滅さるる日いたり其罰せらるる時來りたればなり
Her hirelings also that lived in the midst of her, like fatted calves are turned back, and are fled away together, and they could not stand, for the day of their slaughter is come upon them, the time of their visitation.
22 彼は蛇の如く聲をいだす彼ら軍勢を率ゐて來り樵夫の如く斧をもて之にのぞめり
Her voice shall sound like brass, for they shall hasten with an army, and with axes they shall come against her, as hewers of wood.
23 ヱホバいひ給ふ彼らは探りえざるに由りて彼の林を砍仆せり彼等は蝗蟲よりも多して數へがたし
They have cut down her forest, saith the Lord, which cannot be counted: they are multiplied above locusts, and are without number.
24 エジプトの女は辱められ北の民の手に付されん
The daughter of Egypt is confounded, and delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
25 萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神いひ給ふ視よわれノフのアモンとパロとエジプトとその諸神とその王等すなはちパロとかれを賴むものとを罰せん
The Lord of hosts the God of Israel hath said: Behold I will visit upon the tumult of Alexandria, and upon Pharao, and upon Egypt, and upon her gods, and upon her kings, and upon Pharao, upon them that trust in him.
26 われ彼らを其生命を索むる者の手とバビロンの王ネブカデネザルの手とその臣僕の手に付すべしその後この地は昔のごとく人の住むところとならんとヱホバいひたまふ
And I will deliver them into the hand of them that seek their lives, into the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the Lord.
27 我僕ヤコブよ怖るる勿れイスラエルよ驚く勿れ視よわれ汝を遠方より救ひきたり汝の子孫をその擄移されたる地より救ひとるべしヤコブは歸りて平安と寧靜をえん彼を畏れしむる者なかるべし
And thou my servant Jacob, fear not and be not thou dismayed, O Israel: for behold I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed out of the land of thy captivity: and Jacob shall return and be at rest, and prosper: and there shall be none to terrify him.
28 ヱホバいひたまふ我僕ヤコブよ汝怖るる勿れ我汝と偕にあればなり我汝を逐やりし國々を悉く滅すべけれど汝をば悉くは滅さじわれ道をもて汝を懲し汝を全くは罪なき者とせざるべし
And thou, my servant Jacob, fear not, saith the Lord: because I am with thee, for I will consume all the nations to which I have cast thee out: but thee I will not consume, but I will correct thee in judgment, neither will I spare thee as if thou wert innocent.
