エレミヤ書 50
1 ヱホバ預言者ヱレミヤによりてバビロンとカルデヤ人の地のことを語り給ひし言
The word that the LORD spoke against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.
2 汝ら國々の中に告げまた宣示せ纛を樹よ隱すことなく宣示して言へバビロンは取られベルは辱められメロダクは碎かれ其像は辱められ其木像は碎かると
Declare you among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.
3 そは北の方より一の國人きたりて之を攻めその地を荒して其處に住む者無らしむればなり人も畜も皆逃去れり
For out of the north there comes up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.
4 ヱホバいひたまふその日その時イスラエルの子孫かへり來らん彼らと偕にユダの子孫かへり來るべし彼らは哭きつつ行てその神ヱホバに請求むべし
In those days, and in that time, says the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God.
5 彼ら面をシオンに向てその路を問ひ來れ我らは永遠わするることなき契約をもてヱホバにつらならんといふべし
They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.
6 我民は迷へる羊の群なりその牧者之をいざなひて山にふみ迷はしめたれば山より岡とゆきめぐりて其休息所を忘れたり
My people has been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place.
7 之に遇ふもの皆之を食ふその敵いへり我らは罪なし彼らヱホバすなはち義きの在所その先祖の望みしところなるヱホバに罪を犯したるなり
All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.
8 汝らバビロンのうちより逃よカルデヤ人の地より出よ群の前にゆくところの牡山羊のごとくせよ
Remove out of the middle of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.
9 視よわれ大なる國々より人を起しあつめて北の地よりバビロンに攻め來らしめん彼ら之にむかひて備をたてん是すなはち取るべし彼らの矢は空しく返らざる狡き勇士の矢のごとくなるべし
For, see, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from there she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.
10 カルデヤは人に掠められん之を掠むる者は皆飽ことをえんとヱホバ曰たまふ
And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, says the LORD.
11 我產業を掠る者よ汝らは喜び樂み穀物を碾す犢のごとくに躍り牡馬のごとく嘶けども
Because you were glad, because you rejoiced, O you destroyers of my heritage, because you are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;
12 汝らの母は痛く辱められん汝らを生しものは恥べし視よ國々の中の終末の者荒野となり燥ける地となり沙漠とならん
Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bore you shall be ashamed: behold, the last of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.
13 ヱホバの怒りの爲に之に住む者なくして悉く荒地となるべしバビロンを過る者は皆その禍に驚き且嗤はん
Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goes by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
14 凡そ弓を張る者よバビロンの四周に備をなして攻め矢を惜まずして之を射よそは彼ヱホバに罪を犯したればなり
Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all you that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she has sinned against the LORD.
15 その四周に喊き叫びて攻めかかれ是手を伸ぶその城堞は倒れその石垣は崩る是ヱホバ仇を復したまふなり汝らこれに仇を復せ是の行ひしごとく是に行へ
Shout against her round about: she has given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance on her; as she has done, do to her.
16 播種者および穡收時に鎌を執る者をバビロンに絕せその滅すところの劍を怖れて人おのおの其民に歸り各その故土に逃べし
Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handles the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.
17 イスラエルは散されたる羊にして獅子之を追ふ初にアツスリヤの王之を食ひ後にこのバビロンの王ネブカデネザルその骨を碎けり
Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria has devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon has broken his bones.
18 この故に萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ視よわれアツスリヤの王を罰せしごとくバビロンの王とその地を罰せん
Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
19 われイスラエルを再びその牧場に歸さん彼カルメルとバシヤンの上に草をくらはんまたエフライムとギレアデの山にてその心を飽すべし
And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied on mount Ephraim and Gilead.
20 ヱホバいひたまふ其日その時にはイスラエルの愆を尋るも有らず又ユダの罪を尋るも遇じそはわれ我存せしところの者を赦すべければなり
In those days, and in that time, says the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.
21 ヱホバいひたまふ汝ら上りて悖れる國罰を受べき民を攻めその後より之を荒し全くこれを滅せ我汝らに命ぜしごとく行ふべし
Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, says the LORD, and do according to all that I have commanded you.
22 その地に戰鬪の咷と大なる敗壤あり
A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.
23 嗚呼全地を摧きし鎚折れ碎くるかな嗚呼バビロン國々の中に荒地となるかな
How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
24 バビロンよわれ汝をとるために罟を置けり汝は擒へらるれども知ず汝ヱホバに敵せしにより尋られて獲へらるるなり
I have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, O Babylon, and you were not aware: you are found, and also caught, because you have striven against the LORD.
25 ヱホバ庫を啓きてその怒りの武器をいだしたまふ是主なる萬軍のヱホバ、カルデヤ人の地に事をなさんとしたまへばなり
The LORD has opened his armory, and has brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the Lord GOD of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.
26 汝ら終の者にいたるまで來りてこれを攻めその庫を啓き之を積て塵垤のごとくせよ盡くこれを滅ぼして其處に遺る者なからしめよ
Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.
27 その牡牛を悉く殺せこれを屠場にくだらしめよ其等は禍なるかな其日その罰を受べき時來れり
Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe to them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.
28 バビロンの地より逃げて遁れ來し者の聲ありて我らの神ヱホバの仇復その殿の仇復をシオンに宣ぶ
The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple.
29 射者をバビロンに召集めよ凡そ弓を張る者よその四周に陣どりて之を攻め何人をも逃す勿れその作爲に循ひて之に報いそのすべて行ひし如くこれに行へそは彼イスラエルの聖者なるヱホバにむかひて驕りたればなり
Call together the archers against Babylon: all you that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she has done, do to her: for she has been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.
30 是故にその日壯者は衢に踣れその兵卒は悉く絕されんとヱホバいひたまふ
Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, says the LORD.
31 主なる萬軍のヱホバいひたまふ驕傲者よ視よわれ汝の敵となる汝の日わが汝を罰する時きたれり
Behold, I am against you, O you most proud, says the Lord GOD of hosts: for your day is come, the time that I will visit you.
32 驕傲者は蹶きて仆れん之を扶け起す者なかるべしわれ火をその諸邑に燃しその四周の者を燒盡さん
And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.
33 萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふイスラエルの民とユダの民は偕に虐げらる彼らを擄にせし者は皆固くこれを守りて釋たざるなり
Thus says the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go.
34 彼らを贖ふ者は強しその名は萬軍のヱホバなり彼必ずその訴を理してこの地に安を與へバビロンに住る者を戰慄しめ給はん
Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he shall thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 ヱホバいひたまふカルデヤ人の上バビロンに住る者の上およびその牧伯等とその智者等の上に劍あり
A sword is on the Chaldeans, says the LORD, and on the inhabitants of Babylon, and on her princes, and on her wise men.
36 劍僞る者の上にあり彼ら愚なる者とならん劍その勇士の上にあり彼ら懼れん
A sword is on the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is on her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.
37 劍その馬の上にあり其車の上にあり又その中にあるすべての援兵の上にあり彼ら婦女のごとくにならん劍その寶の上にあり是掠めらるべし
A sword is on their horses, and on their chariots, and on all the mingled people that are in the middle of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is on her treasures; and they shall be robbed.
38 旱その水の上にあり是涸かん斯は偶像の地にして人々偶像に迷へばなり
A drought is on her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad on their idols.
39 是故に野の獸彼處に山犬と偕に居り鴕鳥も彼處に棲べし何時までも其地に住む人なく世々ここに住む人なかるべし
Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelled in from generation to generation.
40 ヱホバいひたまふ神のソドム、ゴモラとその近隣の邑々を滅せしごとく彼處に住む人なく彼處に宿る人の子なかるべし
As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities thereof, says the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
41 視よ北の方より民きたるあらん大なる國の人とおほくの王たち地の極より起らん
Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
42 彼らは弓と槍をとる情なく矜恤なしその聲は海のごとくに鳴るバビロンの女よ彼らは馬に乗り戰士のごとくに備へて汝を攻ん
They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not show mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride on horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against you, O daughter of Babylon.
43 バビロンの王その風聲をききしかば其手弱り苦痛と子を產む婦の如き劬勞彼に迫る
The king of Babylon has heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail.
44 視よ敵獅子のヨルダンの叢より上るが如く堅き宅に攻めきたらんわれ直に彼等を其處より逐奔らせわが選みたる者をその上に立ん誰か我のごとき者あらんや誰かわが爲に時期を定めんや何の牧者か我前に立ことをえん
Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan to the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?
45 さればバビロンにつきてヱホバの謀りたまひし御謀とカルデヤ人の地につきて思ひたまひし思想をきけ群の弱者必ず曳ゆかれん彼必ずかれらの住居を滅すべし
Therefore hear you the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.
46 バビロンは取れたりとの聲によりて地震へその號咷國々の中に聞ゆ
At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.
