エレミヤ書 49

1 アンモン人の事につきてヱホバかくいひたまふイスラエルに子なからんや嗣子なからんや何なれば彼らの王ガドを受嗣ぎ彼の民その邑々に住や

Then came all the leaders of the host, and Joanan, and Azarias the son of Maasaeas, and all the people great and small,

2 ヱホバいひたまふ是故に視よわが戰鬪の號呼をアンモン人のラバに聞えしむる日いたらんラバは荒垤となりその女等は火に焚れんその時イスラエルはおのれの嗣者となりし者等の嗣者となるべしヱホバこれをいひたまふ

to Jeremias the prophet, and said to him, Let now our supplication come before your face, and pray you to the Lord your God for this remnant; for we are left few out of many, as your eyes see.

3 ヘシボンよ咷べアイは滅びたりラバの女たちよ呼はれ麻布を身にまとひ嗟て籬のうちに走れマルカムとその祭司およびその牧伯等は偕に擄へ移されたり

And let the Lord your God declare to us the way wherein we should walk, and the thing which we should do.

4 汝何なれば谷の事を誇るや背ける女よ汝の谷は流るるなり汝財貨に倚賴みていふ誰か我に來らんと

And Jeremias said to them, I have heard [you]; behold, I will pray for you to the Lord our God, according to your words; and it shall come to pass, [that] whatever word the Lord God shall answer, I will declare [it] to you; I will not hide anything from you.

5 主なる萬軍のヱホバいひたまふ視よ我畏懼を汝の四周の者より汝に來らしめん汝らおのおの逐れて直にすすまん逃る者を集むる人無るべし

And they said to Jeremias, Let the Lord be between us for a just and faithful witness, if we do not according to every word which the Lord shall send to us.

6 然ど後にいたりてわれアンモン人の擄移されたる者を返さんとヱホバいひたまふ

And whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil, we will listen to the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, because we shall listen to the voice of the Lord our God.

7 エドムの事につきて萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふテマンの中には智慧あることなきにいたりしや明哲者には謀略あらずなりしやその智慧は盡はてしや

And it came to pass after ten days, [that] the word of the Lord came to Jeremias.

8 デダンに住る者よ逃よ遁れよ深く竄れよ我エサウの滅亡をかれの上にのぞませ彼を罰する時をきたらしむべし

And he called Joanan, and the leaders of the host, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,

9 葡萄を斂むる者もし汝に來らば少許の果をも餘さざらんもし夜間盜人きたらばその飽まで滅さん

and he said to them, Thus says the Lord;

10 われエサウを裸にし又その隱處を露にせん彼は身を匿すことをえざるべしその裔も兄弟も隣舍も滅されん而して彼は在ずなるべし

If you will indeed dwell in this land, I will build you, and will not pull [you] down, but will plant you, and in no wise pluck you up: for I have ceased from the calamities which I brought upon you.

11 汝の孤子を遺せわれ之を生存へしめん汝の嫠は我に倚賴むべし

Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid; be not afraid of him, says the Lord: for I am with you, to deliver you, and save you out of their hand.

12 ヱホバかくいひ給ふ視よ杯を飮べきにあらざる者もこれを飮ざるをえざるなれば汝まつたく罰を免るることをえんや汝は罰を免れじ汝これを飮ざるべからず

And I will grant you mercy, and pity you, and will restore you to your land.

13 ヱホバいひたまふ我おのれを指して誓ふボズラは詫異となり羞辱となり荒地となり呪詛とならんその諸邑は永く荒地となるべし

But if you say, We will not dwell in this land, that we may not listen to the voice of the Lord;

14 われヱホバより音信をきけり使者遣されて萬國にいたり汝ら集りて彼に攻めきたり起て戰へよといへり

for we will go into the land of Egypt, and we shall see no war, and shall not hear the sound of a trumpet, and we shall not hunger for bread; and there we will dwell:

15 視よわれ汝を萬國の中に小者となし人々の中に藐めらるる者となせり

then hear the word of the Lord; thus says the Lord;

16 磐の隱場にすみ山の高處を占る者よ汝の恐ろしき事と汝の心の驕傲汝を欺けり汝鷹のごとくに巢を高き處に作りたれどもわれ其處より汝を取り下さんとヱホバいひたまふ

If you set your face towards Egypt, and go in there to dwell; then it shall be, [that] the sword which you fear shall find you in the land of Egypt, and the famine to which you have regard, shall overtake you, [coming] after you in Egypt; and there you shall die.

17 エドムは詫異とならん凡そ其處を過る者は驚きその災害のために笑ふべし

And all the men, and all the strangers who have set their face towards the land of Egypt to dwell there, shall be consumed by the sword, and by the famine: and there shall not one of them escape from the evils which I bring upon them.

18 ヱホバいひたまふソドムとゴモラとその隣の邑々の滅しがごとく其處に住む人なく其處に宿る人の子なかるべし

For thus says the Lord; As my wrath has dropped upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall my wrath drop upon you, when you have entered into Egypt: and you shall be a desolation, and under the power of others, and a curse and a reproach: and you shall no more see this place.

19 視よ敵獅子のヨルダンの叢より上るがごとく堅き宅に攻めきたらんわれ直に彼を其處より逐奔らせわが選みたる者をその上に立てん誰か我のごとき者あらん誰か我爲に時期を定めんや孰の牧者か我前にたつことをえん

[These are the words] which the Lord has spoken concerning you the remnant of Juda; Enter you not into Egypt: and now know you for a certainty,

20 さればエドムにつきてヱホバの謀りたまひし御謀とテマンに住る者につきて思ひたまひし思をきけ群の弱者はかならず曳ゆかれん彼かならずかれらの住宅を滅すべし

that you have wrought wickedness in your hearts, when you sent me, saying, Pray you for us to the Lord; and according to all that the Lord shall speak to you we will do.

21 その傾圮の響によりて地は震ふ號咷ありその聲紅海にきこゆ

And you have not listened to the voice of the Lord, with which he sent me to you.

22 みよ彼鷹のごとくに上り飛びその翼をボズラの上に舒べんその日エドムの勇士の心は子を產む婦の心の如くならん

Now therefore you shall perish by sword and by famine, in the place which you desire to go into to dwell there.

23 ダマスコの事 ハマテとアルパデは羞づそは凶き音信をきけばなり彼らは心を喪へり海の上に恐懼あり安き者なし

24 ダマスコは弱り身をめぐらして逃んとす恐懼これに及び憂愁と痛劬子を產む婦にあるごとくこれにおよぶ

25 頌美ある邑我欣ぶところの邑を何なれば棄さらざるや

26 さればその日に壯者は街に仆れ兵卒は悉く滅されんと萬軍のヱホバいひたまふ

27 われ火をダマスコの石垣の上に燃しベネハダデの殿舍をことごとく焚くべし

28 バビロンの王ネブカデネザルが攻め撃たるケダルとハゾルの諸國の事につきて／ヱホバかくいひたまふ汝ら起てケダルに上り東の衆人を滅せ

29 その幕屋とその羊の群は彼等これを取りその幕とその諸の器と駱駝とは彼等これを奪ひとらん人これに向ひ惶懼四方にありと呼るべし

30 ヱホバいひたまふハゾルに住る者よ逃よ急に走りゆき深き處に居れバビロンの王ネブカデネザル汝らをせむる謀略を運らし汝らをせむる術計を設けたればなり

31 ヱホバいひ給ふ汝ら起て穩なる安かに住める民の所に攻め上れ彼らは門もなく關もなくして獨り居ふなり

32 その駱駝は擄掠とせられその多の畜は奪はれん我かの毛の角を剪る者を四方に散しその滅亡を八方より來らせんとヱホバいひたまふ

33 ハゾルは山犬の窟となり何までも荒蕪となりをらん彼處に住む人なく彼處に宿る人の子なかるべし

34 ユダの王ゼデキヤが位に即し初のころヱホバの言預言者ヱレミヤに臨みてエラムの事をいふ

35 萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふ視よわれエラムが權能として賴むところの弓を折らん

36 われ天の四方より四方の風をエラムに來らせ彼らを四方の風に散さんエラムより追出さるる者のいたらざる國はなかるべし

37 ヱホバいひたまふわれエラムをしてその敵の前とその生命を索むるものの前に懼れしめん我災をくだし我烈しき怒をその上にいたらせんまたわれ劍をその後につかはしてこれを滅し盡すべし

38 われ我位をエラムに居ゑ王と牧伯等を其處より滅したたんとヱホバいひたまふ

39 然ど末の日にいたりてわれエラムの擄移されたる者を返すべしとヱホバいひたまふ
