エレミヤ書 1
1 こはベニヤミンの地アナトテの祭司の一人なるヒルキヤの子ヱレミヤの言なり
Words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, of the priests who [are] in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin,
2 アモンの子ユダの王ヨシヤの時すなはちその治世の十三年にヱホバの言ヱレミヤに臨めり
unto whom the word of Jehovah hath been in the days of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign,
3 その言またヨシヤの子ユダの王ヱホヤキムの時にものぞみてヨシヤの子ユダの王ゼデキヤの十一年のをはり即ちその年の五月ヱルサレムの民の移されたる時までにいたれり
and it is in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, till the completion of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah, king of Judah, till the removal of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
4 ヱホバの言我にのぞみて云ふ
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
5 われ汝を腹につくらざりし先に汝をしり汝が胎をいでざりし先に汝を聖め汝をたてて萬國の預言者となせりと
'Before I form thee in the belly, I have known thee; and before thou comest forth from the womb I have separated thee, a prophet to nations I have made thee.'
6 我こたへけるは噫主ヱホバよ視よわれは幼少により語ることを知らず
And I say, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah! lo, I have not known — to speak, for I [am] a youth.'
7 ヱホバわれにいひたまひけるは汝われは幼少といふ勿れすべて我汝を遣すところにゆき我汝に命ずるすべてのことを語るべし
And Jehovah saith unto me, 'Do not say, I [am] a youth, for to all to whom I send thee thou goest, and all that I command thee thou speakest.
8 なんぢ彼等の面を畏るる勿れ蓋われ汝と偕にありて汝をすくふべければなりとヱホバいひたまへり
Be not afraid of their faces, for with thee [am] I to deliver thee, — an affirmation of Jehovah.'
9 ヱホバ遂にその手をのべて我口につけヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは視よわれ我言を汝の口にいれたり
And Jehovah putteth forth His hand, and striketh against my mouth, and Jehovah saith unto me, 'Lo, I have put my words in thy mouth.
10 みよ我けふ汝を萬民のうへと萬國のうへにたて汝をして或は抜き或は毀ち或は滅し或は覆し或は建て或は植しめん
See, I have charged thee this day concerning the nations, and concerning the kingdoms, to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.'
11 ヱホバの言また我に臨みていふヱレミヤよ汝何をみるや我こたへけるは巴旦杏の枝をみる
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 'What art thou seeing, Jeremiah?' And I say, 'A rod of an almond tree I am seeing.'
12 ヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは汝善く見たりそはわれ速に我言をなさんとすればなり
And Jehovah saith unto me, 'Thou hast well seen: for I am watching over My word to do it.'
13 ヱホバの言ふたたび我に臨みていふ汝何をみるや我こたへけるは沸騰たる鑊をみるその面は北より此方に向ふ
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me a second time, saying, 'What art thou seeing?' And I say, 'A blown pot I am seeing, and its face [is] from the north.'
14 ヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは災北よりおこりてこの地に住るすべての者にきたらん
And Jehovah saith unto me, 'From the north is the evil loosed against all inhabitants of the land.
15 ヱホバいひたまひけるはわれ北の國々のすべての族をよばん彼等きたりてヱルサレムの門の入口とその周圍のすべての石垣およびユダのすべての邑々に向ひておのおのその座を設けん
For, lo, I am calling for all families of the kingdoms of the north, — an affirmation of Jehovah — and they have come, and put each his throne at the opening of the gates of Jerusalem, and by its walls round about, and by all cities of Judah.
16 われかれらの凡の惡事のために我鞫をかれにつげん是はかれら我をすてて別の神に香を焚きおのれの手にて作りし物を拝するによる
And I have spoken My judgments with them concerning all their evil, in that they have forsaken Me, and make perfume to other gods, and bow themselves to the works of their own hands.
17 汝腰に帶して起ちわが汝に命ずるすべての事を彼等につげよその面を畏るる勿れ否らざれば我かれらの前に汝を辱かしめん
'And thou, thou dost gird up thy loins, and hast arisen, and spoken unto them all that I command thee: be not affrighted because of them, lest I affright thee before them.
18 視よわれ今日この全國とユダの王とその牧伯とその祭司とその地の民の前に汝を堅き城 鐵の柱 銅の牆となせり
And I, lo, I have given thee this day for a fenced city, and for an iron pillar, and for brazen walls over all the land, to the kings of Judah, to its heads, to its priests, and to the people of the land;
19 彼等なんぢと戰はんとするも汝に勝ざるべしそはわれ汝とともにありて汝をすくふべければなりとヱホバいひたまへり
and they have fought against thee, and they prevail not against thee; for with thee [am] I, — an affirmation of Jehovah — to deliver thee.
