< 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
Concerning the children of Ammon. Thus saith Jehovah: Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? Why is Malcam heir of Gad, and his people dwell in the cities thereof?
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
Therefore behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that I will cause the clamour of war to be heard in Rabbah of the children of Ammon; and it shall be a desolate heap; and her towns shall be burned with fire; and Israel shall possess them that possessed him, saith Jehovah.
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
Howl, Heshbon! for Ai is laid waste; cry, daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth, lament and run to and fro within the enclosures: for Malcam shall go into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
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
Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys? Thy valley shall flow down, O backsliding daughter, that trusteth in her treasures, [saying, ] Who shall come against me?
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
Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord Jehovah of hosts, from all that are about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall assemble the fugitives.
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 afterwards I will turn the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith Jehovah.
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
Concerning Edom. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Is there no more wisdom in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom spent?
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
Flee, turn back, dwell deep down, ye inhabitants of Dedan! For I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I visit him.
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
If grape-gatherers had come to thee, would they not have left a gleaning? If thieves by night, they would destroy only till they had enough.
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
But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, that he is unable to hide himself: his seed is wasted, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.
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
Leave thine orphans, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.
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
For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup shall assuredly drink; and thou indeed, shouldest thou be altogether unpunished? Thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink.
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
For I have sworn by myself, saith Jehovah, that Bozrah shall become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.
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
I have heard a rumour from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations: — Gather yourselves together, and come against her and rise up for the battle.
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
For behold, I have made thee small among the nations, despised among men.
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
Thy terribleness, the pride of thy heart, hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill. Though thou shouldest make thy nest high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith Jehovah.
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 Edom shall be an astonishment: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss, because of all the plagues thereof.
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
As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, and their neighbour cities, saith Jehovah, no one shall dwell there, neither shall a son of man sojourn therein.
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
Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of the Jordan against the strong habitation; for I will make them suddenly run away from it; and who is a chosen [man] whom I shall appoint over her? For who is like me? and who will assign me a time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?
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
Therefore hear the counsel of Jehovah, which he hath taken against Edom, and his purposes which he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: The little ones of the flock shall certainly draw them away; he shall certainly make their habitation desolate for them.
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
The earth quaketh at the sound of their fall; there is a cry, the sound whereof is heard in the Red sea.
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
Behold, he shall come up, and fly as an eagle, and spread forth his wings against Bozrah; and at that day the heart of the mighty men of Edom shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
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
Concerning Damascus. Hamath is put to shame, and Arpad; for they have heard evil tidings, they are melted away: there is distress on the sea; it cannot be quiet.
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
Damascus is grown feeble: she turneth herself to flee, and terror hath seized on her; trouble and sorrows have taken hold of her as of a woman in travail.
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
How is not the town of praise forsaken, the city of my joy!
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
Therefore shall her young men fall in her streets, and all the men of war be cut off in that day, saith Jehovah of hosts.
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
And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Ben-Hadad.
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
Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote. Thus saith Jehovah: Arise, go up to Kedar, and spoil the men of the east.
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
Their tents and their flocks shall they take; their curtains and all their vessels, and their camels, shall they carry away for themselves; and they shall cry unto them, Terror on every side!
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
Flee, wander very far, dwell deep down, ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith Jehovah; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you.
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
Arise, get you up against the nation at ease, that dwelleth securely, saith Jehovah, which hath neither gates nor bars: they dwell alone.
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
And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil; and I will scatter to every wind them that have the corners [of their beard] cut off, and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith Jehovah.
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
And Hazor shall be a dwelling-place of jackals, a desolation for ever. No one shall dwell there, neither shall a son of man sojourn therein.
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
The word of Jehovah that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
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
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
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
And upon Elam will I bring the four winds, from the four ends of the heavens, and I will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
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
And I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life; and I will bring evil upon them, my fierce anger, saith Jehovah; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them.
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
And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence king and princes, saith Jehovah.
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
But it shall come to pass at the end of the days, I will turn the captivity of Elam, saith Jehovah.
