エレミヤ書 9
1 ああ我わが首を水となし我目を涙の泉となすことをえんものを我民の女の殺されたる者の爲に晝夜哭かん
Oh, that mine head were full of water and mine eyes a fountaine of teares, that I might weepe day and night for the slayne of the daughter of my people.
2 嗚呼われ曠野に旅人の寓所をえんものを我民を離れてさりゆかん彼らはみな姦淫するもの悖れる者の族なればなり
Oh, that I had in the wildernes a cottage of wayfaring men, that I might leaue my people, and go from them: for they be all adulterers and an assembly of rebels,
3 彼らは弓を援くがごとく其舌をもて僞をいだす彼らは此地において眞實のために強からず惡より惡にすすみまた我を知ざるなりとヱホバいひたまふ
And they bende their tongues like their bowes for lyes: but they haue no courage for the trueth vpon the earth: for they proceede from euill to worse, and they haue not knowen mee, sayth the Lord.
4 汝らおのおの其隣に心せよ何の兄弟をも信ずる勿れ兄弟はみな欺きをなし隣はみな讒りまはればなり
Let euery one take heede of his neighbour, and trust you not in any brother: for euery brother will vse deceite, and euery friend will deale deceitfully,
5 彼らはおのおの其隣を欺きかつ眞實をいはず其舌に謊をかたることを敎へ惡をなすに勞る
And euery one wil deceiue his friende, and wil not speake the trueth: for they haue taught their tongues to speake lies, and take great paynes to do wickedly.
6 汝の住居は詭譎の中にあり彼らは詭譎のために我を識ことをいなめりとヱホバいひたまふ
Thine habitation is in the middes of deceiuers: because of their deceit they refuse to know me, sayth the Lord.
7 故に萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまへり視よ我かれらを鎔し試むべしわれ我民の女の事を如何になすべきや
Therefore thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Behold, I wil melt them, and trie them: for what should I els do for the daughter of my people?
8 彼らの舌は殺す矢のごとしかれら詭をいふまた其口をもて隣におだやかにかたれども其心の中には害をはかるなり
Their tongue is as an arow shot out, and speaketh deceite: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in his heart hee layeth waite for him.
9 ヱホバいひたまふ我これらの事のために彼らを罰せざらんや我心はかくのごとき民に仇を復さざらんや
Shal I not visit them for these things, saith the Lord? or shall not my soule be auenged on such a nation as this?
10 われ山のために泣き咷び野の牧場のために悲むこれらは焚れて過る人なしまたここに牛羊の聲をきかず天空の鳥も獸も皆逃てさりぬ
Vpon the mountaines will I take vp a weeping and a lamentation, and vpon the fayre places of the wildernes a mourning, because they are burnt vp: so that none can passe through them, neyther can men heare the voyce of the flocke: both the foule of the aire, and the beast are fled away and gone.
11 われヱルサレムを邱墟とし山犬の巢となさんまたユダの諸の邑々を荒して住む人なからしめん
And I wil make Ierusalem an heape, and a den of dragons, and I will make the cities of Iudah waste, without an inhabitant.
12 智慧ありてこの事を曉る人は誰ぞやヱホバの口の言を受てこれを示さん者は誰ぞやこの地滅されまた野のごとく焚れて過る者なきにいたりしは何故ぞ
Who is wise, to vnderstande this? and to whome the mouth of the Lord hath spoken, euen he shall declare it. Why doth the land perish, and is burnt vp like a wildernesse, that none passeth through?
13 ヱホバいひたまふ是彼ら我その前に立しところの律法をすて我聲をきかず之に從はざるによりてなり
And the Lord sayeth, Because they haue forsaken my Lawe, which I set before them, and haue not obeyed my voice, neither walked thereafter,
14 彼らはその心の剛愎なるとその列祖たちがおのれに敎へしバアルとに從へり
But haue walked after the stubbernesse of their owne heart, and after Baalims, which their fathers taught them,
15 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彼等すなはち斯民に茵蔯を食はせ毒なる水を飮せ
Therefore thus sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Behold, I will feede this people with wormewood, and giue them waters of gall to drinke:
16 彼らもその先祖たちもしらざりし國人のうちに彼らを散しまた彼らを滅し盡すまで其後に劍をつかはさん
I wil scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers haue knowen, and I will send a sworde after them, til I haue consumed them.
17 萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふ汝らよく考へ哭婦をよびきたれ又人を遣して智き婦をまねけよ
Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, Take heede, and call for the mourning women, that they may come, and send for skilfull women that they may come,
18 彼らは速にきたりて我儕のために哭哀しみ我儕の目に涙をこぼさせ我儕の目蓋より水を溢れしめん
And let them make haste, and let them take vp a lamentation for vs, that our eyes may cast out teares and our eye liddes gush out of water.
19 シオンより哀の聲きこゆ云く嗚呼われら滅され我ら痛く辱めらる我らは其地を去り彼らはわが住家を毀ちたり
For a lamentable noyse is heard out of Zion, Howe are we destroyed, and vtterly confounded, for we haue forsaken the land, and our dwellings haue cast vs out.
20 婦たちよヱホバの言をきけ汝らの耳に其口の言をいれよ汝らの女に哭ことを敎へおのおのその隣に哀の歌を敎ふべし
Therefore heare the worde of the Lord, O ye women, and let your eares regard the words of his mouth, and teach your daughters to mourne, and euery one her neighbour to lament.
21 そは死のぼりてわれらの窓よりいり我らの殿舍に入り外にある諸子を絕し街にある壯年を殺さんとすればなり
For death is come vp into our windowes, and is entred into our palaces, to destroy the children without, and the yong men in the streetes.
22 ヱホバかくいへりと汝云ふべし人の屍は糞土のごとく田野に墮ちんまた收穫者のうしろに殘りて斂めずにある把のごとくならんと
Speake, thus sayth the Lord, The carkeises of men shall lye, euen as the doung vpon the fielde, and as the handfull after the mower, and none shall gather them.
23 ヱホバかくいひたまふ智慧ある者はその智慧に誇る勿れ力ある者は其力に誇るなかれ富者はその富に誇ること勿れ
Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisedome, nor the strong man glorie in his strength, neyther the riche man glorie in his riches.
24 誇る者はこれをもて誇るべし即ち明哲して我を識る事とわがヱホバにして地に仁惠と公道と公義とを行ふ者なるを知る事是なり我これらを悦ぶなりとヱホバいひたまふ
But let him that glorieth, glorie in this, that he vnderstandeth, and knoweth me: for I am the Lord, which shewe mercie, iudgement, and righteousnes in the earth: for in these things I delite, sayth the Lord.
25 ヱホバいひたまひけるは視よわれすべて陽の皮に割禮をうけたる者すなはちエジプトとユダとエドムとアンモンの子孫とモアブと野にをりてその鬚を剃る者とを罰する日きたらんそはすべて異邦人は割禮をうけずまたイスラエルの家も心に割禮をうけざればなり
Beholde, the dayes come, sayth the Lord, that I wil visite all them, which are circumcised with the vncircumcised:
26 ヱホバいひたまひけるは視よわれすべて陽の皮に割禮をうけたる者すなはちエジプトとユダとエドムとアンモンの子孫とモアブと野にをりてその鬚を剃る者とを罰する日きたらんそはすべて異邦人は割禮をうけずまたイスラエルの家も心に割禮をうけざればなり
Egypt and Iudah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all the vtmost corners of them that dwell in the wildernesse: for all these nations are vncircumcised, and al the house of Israel are vncircumcised in the heart.
