エレミヤ書 7
1 ヱホバよりヱレミヤにのぞめる言云ふ
The woordes that came to Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 汝ヱホバの室の門にたち其處にてこの言を宣て言へヱホバを拜まんとてこの門にいりしユダのすべての人よヱホバの言をきけ
Stand in the gate of the Lordes house and crie this woorde there, and say, Heare the woorde of the Lord, all yee of Iudah that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord.
3 萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひ給ふ汝らの途と汝らの行を改めよさらばわれ汝等をこの地に住しめん
Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Amend your waies and your woorkes, and I will let you dwell in this place.
4 汝ら是はヱホバの殿なりヱホバの殿なりヱホバの殿なりと云ふ僞の言をたのむ勿れ
Trust not in lying woordes, saying, The Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord: this is the Temple of the Lord.
5 汝らもし全くその途と行を改め人と人との間を正しく鞫き
For if you amende and redresse your waies and your woorkes: if you execute iudgement betweene a man and his neighbour,
6 異邦人と孤兒と寡を虐げず無辜者の血をこの處に流さず他の神に從ひて害をまねかずば
And oppresse not the stranger, the fatherlesse and the widow and shed no innocent blood in this place, neither walke after other gods to your destruction,
7 我なんぢらを我汝等の先祖にあたへしこの地に永遠より永遠にいたるまで住しむべし
Then will I let you dwell in this place in the lande that I gaue vnto your fathers, for euer and euer.
8 みよ汝らは益なき僞の言を賴む
Beholde, you trust in lying woordes, that can not profite.
9 汝等は盜み殺し姦淫し妄りて誓ひバアルに香を焚き汝らがしらざる他の神にしたがふなれど
Will you steale, murder, and commit adulterie, and sweare falsely and burne incense vnto Baal, and walke after other gods whome yee knowe not?
10 我名をもて稱へらるるこの室にきたりて我前にたち我らはこれらの憎むべきことを行ふとも救はるるなりといふは何にぞや
And come and stande before mee in this House, whereupon my Name is called, and saye, We are deliuered, though we haue done all these abominations?
11 わが名をもて稱へらるる此室は汝らの目には盜賊の巢と見ゆるや我も之をみたりとヱホバいひたまふ
Is this House become a denne of theeues, whereupon my Name is called before your eyes? Beholde, euen I see it, sayeth the Lord.
12 汝等わが初シロに於て我名を置し處にゆき我がイスラエルの民の惡のために其處になせしところのことをみよ
But go ye nowe vnto my place which was in Shilo, where I set my Name at the beginning, and beholde, what I did to it for the wickednesse of my people Israel.
13 ヱホバいひたまふ今汝ら此等のすべての事をなす又われ汝らに語り頻にかたりたれども聽かず汝らを呼びたれども答へざりき
Therefore nowe because yee haue done all these woorkes, sayeth the Lord, (and I rose vp earely and spake vnto you: but when I spake, yee would not heare me, neither when I called, would yee answere).
14 この故に我シロになせしごとく我名をもて稱へらるる此室になさんすなはち汝等が賴むところ我汝らと汝らの先祖にあたへし此處になすべし
Therefore will I do vnto this House, wherupon my Name is called, wherein also yee trust, euen vnto the place that I gaue to you and to your fathers, as I haue done vnto Shilo.
15 またわれ汝等のすべての兄弟すなはちエフライムのすべての裔を棄てしごとく我前より汝らをも棄つべし
And I will cast you out of my sight, as I haue cast out all your brethren, euen the whole seede of Ephraim.
16 故に汝この民のために祈る勿れ彼らの爲に歎くなかれ求むるなかれ又我にとりなしをなす勿れわれ汝にきかじ
Therfore thou shalt not pray for this people, neither lift vp crie or praier for them neither intreat me, for I will not heare thee.
17 汝かれらがユダの邑とヱルサレムの街になすところを見ざるか
Seest thou not what they doe in the cities of Iudah and in the streetes of Ierusalem?
18 諸子は薪を拾め父は火を燃き婦は麺を搏ねパンをつくりて之を天后にそなふ又かれら他の神の前に酒をそそぎて我を怒らす
The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knede the dough to make cakes to the Queene of heauen and to powre out drinke offrings vnto other gods, that they may prouoke me vnto anger.
19 ヱホバいひたまふ彼ら我を怒らするか是れおのが面を辱むるにあらずや
Doe they prouoke me to anger, sayeth the Lord, and not themselues to the confusion of their owne faces?
20 是故に主ヱホバかくいひたまふ視よわが震怒とわが憤怒はこの處と人と獸と野の樹および地の果にそそがん且燃て滅ざるべし
Therefore thus sayeth the Lord God, Beholde, mine anger and my wrath shall be powred vpon this place, vpon man and vpon beast, and vpon the tree of the fielde, and vpon the fruite of the grounde, and it shall burne and not bee quenched.
21 萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ汝らの犠牲に燔祭の物をあはせて肉をくらへ
Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Put your burnt offerings vnto your sacrifices, and eat the flesh.
22 そはわれ汝等の先祖をエジプトより導きいだせし日に燔祭と犠牲とに就てかたりしことなく又命ぜしことなし
For I spake not vnto your fathers, nor commanded them, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offrings and sacrifices.
23 惟われこの事を彼等に命じ汝ら我聲を聽ばわれ汝らの神となり汝ら我民とならん且わが汝らに命ぜしすべての道を行みて福祉をうべしといへり
But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voyce, and I will be your God, and yee shalbe my people: and walke yee in all the wayes which I haue commanded you, that it may be well vnto you.
24 されど彼らはきかず其耳を傾けずおのれの惡き心の謀と剛愎なるとにしたがひて行みまた後を我にむけて其面を向けざりき
But they would not obey, nor incline their eare, but went after the counsels and the stubbernesse of their wicked heart, and went backewarde and not forwarde.
25 汝らの先祖がエジプトの地をいでし日より今日にいたるまでわれ我僕なる預言者を汝らにつかはし日々晨より之をつかはせり
Since the day that your fathers came vp out of the lande of Egypt, vnto this day, I haue euen sent vnto you al my seruants the Prophets, rising vp earely euery day, and sending them.
26 されど彼らは我にきかず耳を傾けずして其項を強くしその列祖よりも愈りて惡をなすなり
Yet would they not heare me nor encline their eare, but hardened their necke and did worse then their fathers.
27 汝彼らに此等のすべてのことばを語るとも汝にきかずかれらを呼ぶとも汝にこたへざるべし
Therefore shalt thou speake al these words vnto them, but they will not heare thee: thou shalt also crie vnto them, but they will not answere thee.
28 汝かく彼らに語れこれは其神ヱホバの聲を聽ずその訓を受ざる民なり眞實はうせてその口に絕たり
But thou shalt say vnto them, This is a nation that heareth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiueth discipline: trueth is perished, and is cleane gone out of their mouth.
29 (シオンの女よ)汝の髮を剃りてこれを棄て山の上に哀哭の聲をあげよヱホバその怒るところの世の人をすててこれを離れたまへばなり
Cut off thine heare, O Ierusalem, and cast it away, and take vp a complaint on the hie places: for the Lord hath reiected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
30 ヱホバいひたまふユダの民は我前に惡を行へり即ちその憎むべき者を我名をもて稱へらるる室に置てこれを汚せり
For the children of Iudah haue done euill in my sight, sayth the Lord: they haue set their abominations in the House, whereupon my Name is called, to pollute it.
31 又ベンヒンノムの谷に於てトペテの崇邱を築きてその子女を火に焚かんとせり我これを命ぜずまた斯ることを思はざりし
And they haue built the hie place of Topheth, which is in the valley of Ben-Hinnom to burne their sonnes and their daughters in the fire, which I commanded them not, neither came it in mine heart.
32 ヱホバいひたまふ然ば視よ此處をトペテまたはベンヒンノムの谷と稱へずして殺戮の谷と稱ふる日きたらん其は葬るべき地所なきまでにトペテに葬るべければなり
Therefore beholde, the dayes come, sayeth the Lord, that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor the valley of Ben-Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall burie in Topheth til there be no place.
33 この民の屍は天空の鳥と地の獸の食物とならんこれを逐ふものなかるべし
And ye carkeises of this people shalbe meat for the foules of the heauen and for the beastes of the earth, and none shall fraie them away.
34 その時われユダの邑とヱルサレムの街に欣喜の聲 歡樂の聲 新婿の聲 新婦の聲なからしむべしこの地荒蕪ればなり
Then I will cause to cease from the cities of Iudah and from the streetes of Ierusalem the voice of mirth and the voice of gladnesse, the voice of the bridegrom and the voice of the bride: for the lande shalbe desolate.
