Holy Bible Aionian Edition® ~ Japanese---Japanese-Bungo-yaku ~ Jeremiah Chapter 51

< エレミヤ書 51 >

1 ヱホバかくいひたまふ視よわれ滅すところの風を起してバビロンを攻め我に悖る者の中に住む者を攻べし

THE WORD THAT CAME TO JEREMIAS for all the Jews dwelling in the land of Egypt, and for those settled in Magdolo and in Taphnas, and in the land of Pathura, saying,

2 われ簸者をバビロンに遣さん彼らこれを簸てその地を空くせん彼らすなはちその禍の日にこれを四方より攻むべし

Thus has the Lord God of Israel said; You have seen all the evils which I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon the cities of Juda; and, behold, they are desolate without inhabitants,

3 弓を張る者に向ひまた鎧を被て立あがる者に向ひて射者の者其弓を張らん汝らその壯者を憫れまず其軍勢を悉く滅すべし

because of their wickedness, which they have wrought to provoke me, [by] going to burn incense to other gods, whom you knew not.

4 然ば殺さるる者カルデヤ人の地に踣れ刺るる者その街に踣れん

yet I sent to you my servants the prophets early in the morning, and I sent, saying, Do not you this abominable thing which I hate.

5 イスラエルとユダはその神萬軍のヱホバに棄てられず彼らの地にはイスラエルの至聖者にむかひて犯せるところの罪充つ

But they listened not to me, and inclined not their ear to turn from their wickedness, so as not to burn incense to strange gods.

6 汝らバビロンのうちより逃げいでておのおの其生命をすくへ其の罪のために滅さるる勿れ今はヱホバの仇をかへしたまふ時なれば報をそれになしたまふなり

So mine anger and my wrath dropped [upon them], and was kindled in the gates of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they became a desolation and a waste, as at this day.

7 バビロンは金の杯にしてヱホバの手にあり諸の地を醉せたり國々その酒を飮めり是をもて國々狂へり

And now thus has the Lord Almighty said, Therefore do you commit [these] great evils against your souls? to cut off man and woman of you, infant and suckling from the midst of Juda, to the end that not one of you should be left;

8 バビロンは忽ち踣れて壞る之がために哭けその傷のために乳香をとれ是或は愈ん

by provoking me with the works of your hands, to burn incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, into which you entered to dwell there, that you might be cut off, and that you might become a curse and a reproach amongst all the nations of the earth?

9 われらバビロンを醫さんとすれども愈ず我らこれをすてて各その國に歸るべしそはその罰天におよび雲にいたればなり

Have you forgotten the sins of your fathers, and the sins of the kings of Juda, and the sins of your princes, and the sins of your wives, which they wrought in the land of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?

10 ヱホバわれらの義をあらはしたまふ來れシオンに於て我らの神ヱホバの作爲をのべん

And have not ceased even to this day, and they have not kept to my ordinances, which I set before their fathers.

11 矢を磨ぎ楯を取れヱホバ、メデア人の王等の心を激發したまふヱホバ、バビロンをせめんと謀り之を滅さんとしたまふ是ヱホバの復仇その殿の復仇たるなり

Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold I do set my face against [you]

12 バビロンの石垣に向ひて纛を樹て圍を堅くし番兵を設け伏兵をそなへよ蓋ヱホバ、バビロンに住める者をせめんとて謀りその言しごとく行ひたまへばなり

to destroy all the remnant that are in Egypt; and they shall fall by the sword, and by famine, and shall be consumed small and great: and they shall be for reproach, and for destruction, and for a curse.

13 おほくの水の傍に住み多くの財寶をもてる者よ汝の終汝の貧婪の限來れり

And I will visit them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have visited Jerusalem, with sword and with famine:

14 萬軍のヱホバおのれを指して誓ひいひ給ふ我まことに人を蝗のごとくに汝の中に充さん彼ら汝に向ひて鯨波の聲を揚ぐべし

and there shall not one be preserved of the remnant of Juda that sojourn in the land of Egypt, to return to the land of Juda, to which they hope in their hearts to return: they shall not return, but only they that escape.

15 ヱホバその能力をもて地をつくり其知慧をもて世界を建てその明哲をもて天を舒たまへり

Then all the men that knew that their wives burnt incense, and all the women, a great multitude, and all the people that lived in the land of Egypt, in Pathura, answered Jeremias, saying,

16 彼聲を發したまふ時は天に衆の水いづかれ雲を地の極より起らしめ電光と雨をおこし風をその庫よりいだしたまふ

[As for] the word which you have spoken to us in the name of the Lord, we will not listen to you.

17 すべての人は獸のごとくにして智慧なし諸の鑄物師はその作りし像のために辱を取る其鑄るところの像は僞の者にしてその中に靈なし

For we will surely perform every word that shall proceed out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour drink-offerings to her, as we and our fathers have done, and our kings and princes, in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem: and [so] we were filled with bread, and were well, and saw no evils.

18 其等は空しき者にして迷妄の工作なりわが臨むとき其等は滅べし

But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, we have all been brought low, and have been consumed by sword and by famine.

19 ヤコブの分は此の如くならず彼は萬物およびその產業の族の造化主なりその名は萬軍のヱホバといふ

And whereas we burnt incense to the queen of heaven, and poured drink-offerings to her, did we make cakes to her, and pour drink-offerings to her, without our husbands?

20 汝はわが鎚にして戰の器具なりわれ汝をもて諸の邦を碎き汝をもて萬國を滅さん

Then Jeremias answered all the people, the mighty men, and the women, and all the people that returned him [these] words for answer, saying,

21 われ汝をもて馬とその騎る者を摧き汝をもて車とその御する者を碎かん

Did not the Lord remember the incense which you burnt in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you, and your fathers, and your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land? and came it not into his heart?

22 われ汝をもて男と女をくだき汝をもて老たる者と幼き者をくだき汝をもて壯者と童女をくだくべし

And the Lord could no longer bear [you], because of the wickedness of your doings, and because of your abominations which you wrought; and so your land became a desolation and a waste, and a curse, as at this day;

23 われ汝をもて牧者とその群をくだき汝をもて農夫とその軛を負ふ牛をくだき汝をもて方伯等と督宰等をくだかん

because of your burning incense, and [because] of the things wherein you sinned against the Lord: and you have not listened to the voice of the Lord, and have not walked in his ordinances, and in his law, and in his testimonies; and so these evils have come upon you.

24 汝らの目の前にて我バビロンとカルデヤに住るすべての者がシオンになせし諸の惡きことに報いんとヱホバいひたまふ

And Jeremias said to the people, and to the women, Hear you the word of the Lord.

25 ヱホバ言ひたまはく全地を滅したる滅す山よ視よわれ汝の敵となるわれ手を汝の上に伸て汝を巖より轉ばし汝を焚山となすべし

Thus has the Lord God of Israel said; You women have spoken with your mouth, and you fulfilled [it] with your hands, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour drink-offerings to her: full well did you keep to your vows, and you have indeed performed [them].

26 ヱホバいひたまふ人汝より石を取て隅石となすことあらじ亦汝より石を取りて基礎となすことあらじ汝はいつまでも荒地となりをらん

Therefore hear you the word of the Lord, all Jews dwelling in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, says the Lord, my name shall no longer be in the mouth of every Jew to say, The Lord lives, in all the land of Egypt.

27 纛を地に樹て箛を國々の中に吹き國々の民をあつめて之を攻めアララテ、ミンニ、アシケナズの諸國を招きて之を攻め軍長をたてて之を攻め恐しき蝗のごとくに馬をすすめよ

For I have watched over them, to hurt them, and not to do them good: and all the Jews dwelling in the land of Egypt shall perish by sword and by famine, until they are utterly consumed.

28 國々の民をあつめて之を攻めメデア人の王等とその方伯等とその督宰等およびそのすべての領地の人をあつめて之を攻めよ

And they that escape the sword shall return to the land of Juda few in number, and the remnant of Juda, who have continued in the land [of] Egypt to dwell there, shall know whose word shall stand.

29 地は震ひ搖かんそはヱホバその意旨をバビロンになしバビロンの地をして住む人なき荒地とならしめたまふべければなり

And this [shall be] a sign to you, that I will visit you for evil.

30 バビロンの勇者は戰をやめて其城にこもりその力失せて婦のごとくにならん其宅は燒けその門閂は折れん

Thus said the Lord; Behold, I [will] give Uaphres king of Egypt into the hands of his enemy, and into the hands of one that seeks his life; as I gave Sedekias king of Juda into the hands of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, his enemy, and who sought his life.

31 馹は趨て馹にあひ使者は趨て使者にあひバビロンの王につげて邑は盡く取られ

THE WORD WHICH JEREMIAS THE PROPHET spoke to Baruch son of Nerias, when he wrote these words in the book from the mouth of Jeremias, in the fourth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda.

32 渡口は取られ沼は燒れ兵卒は怖るといはん

Thus has the Lord said to you, O Baruch.

33 萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふバビロンの女は禾場のごとしその踏るる時きたれり暫くありてその苅るる時いたらん

Whereas you have said, Alas! alas! for the Lord has laid a grievous trouble upon me; I lay down in groaning, I found no rest;

34 バビロンの王ネブカデネザル我を食ひ我を滅し我を空き器のごとくなし龍の如くに我を呑みわが珍饈をもて其腹を充し我を逐出せり

say you to him, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I pull down those whom I have built up, and I pluck up those whom I have planted.

35 シオンに住る者いはんわがうけし虐遇と我肉はバビロンにかかるべしヱルサレムいはん我血はカルデヤに住める者にかかるべしと

And will you seek great things for yourself? seek [them] not: for, behold, I bring evil upon all flesh, says the Lord: but I will give [to you] your life for a spoil in every place whither you shall go.

36 さればヱホバかくいひたまふ視よわれ汝の訟を理し汝の爲に仇を復さん我その海を涸かし其泉を乾かすべし

37 バビロンは頽壘となり山犬の巢窟となり詫異となり嗤笑となり人なき所とならん

38 彼らは獅子のごとく共に吼え小獅のごとくに吼ゆ

39 彼らの慾の燃る時にわれ筵を設けてかれらを醉せ彼らをして喜ばしめながき寢にいりて目を醒すことなからしめんとヱホバいひたまふ

40 われ屠る羔羊のごとく又牡羊と牡山羊のごとくにかれらをくだらしめん

41 セシヤクいかにして取られしや全地の人の頌美者いかにして執へられしや國々の中にバビロンいかにして詫異となりしや

42 海バビロンに溢れかかりその多くの波濤これを覆ふ

43 その諸邑は荒れて燥ける地となり沙漠となり住む人なき地とならん人の子そこを過ることあらじ

44 われベルをバビロンに罰しその呑みたる者を口より取出さん國々はまた川の如くに彼に來らじバビロンの石垣踣れん

45 我民よ汝らその中よりいで各ヱホバの烈しき怒をまぬかれてその命を救へ

46 汝ら心を弱くする勿れ此地にてきく所の浮言によりて畏るる勿れ浮言は此年も來り次の年も亦きたらん此地に强暴あり宰者と宰者とあひ攻むることあらん

47 故に視よ我バビロンの偶像を罰する日來らんその全地は辱められ其殺さるる者は悉くその中に踣れん
