< エレミヤ書 21 >

1 ゼデキヤ王は、マルキヤの子パシュルと祭司マアセヤの子ゼパニヤを、エレミヤのもとにつかわし、
The word which it came to Jeremiah from with Yahweh when sent to him the king Zedekiah Pashhur [the] son of Malkijah and Zephaniah [the] son of Maaseiah the priest saying.
2 「バビロンの王ネブカデレザルがわれわれを攻めようとしているゆえ、われわれのために主に尋ねてほしい。主はそのもろもろの不思議なわざをもって、われわれを助け、バビロンの王をわれわれから退かせられるかも知れない」と言わせた。その時、主の言葉がエレミヤに臨んだ。
Seek please for us Yahweh for Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon [is] waging war on us perhaps he will do Yahweh with us according to all wonders his and he may go up from on us.
3 エレミヤは彼らに答えて言った、「あなたがたはゼデキヤにこのように言いなさい、
And he said Jeremiah to them thus you will say! to Zedekiah.
4 『イスラエルの神、主はこう仰せられる、見よ、あなたがたが、この城壁の外にあって、あなたがたを攻め囲むバビロンの王およびカルデヤびとと戦うとき、わたしはあなたがたの手に持っている武器をとりあげ、これを町の中に集めさせる。
Thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to turn round [the] weapons of war which [are] in hand your which you [are] fighting by them with [the] king of Babylon and with the Chaldeans who are laying siege on you from [the] outside of the wall and I will gather them into [the] middle of the city this.
5 わたしは手を伸べ、強い腕をもって、怒り、憤り、激しく怒って、あなたがたを攻める。
And I will fight I with you by a hand outstretched and by an arm strong and in anger and in rage and in wrath great.
6 わたしはまたこの町に住む人と獣とを撃つ。彼らはみな重い疫病にかかって死ぬ。
And I will strike down [the] inhabitants of the city this and the humankind and the animal[s] by a pestilence great they will die.
7 主は言われる、この後、わたしはユダの王ゼデキヤとその家来たち、および疫病と、つるぎと、ききんを免れて、この町に残っている民を、バビロンの王ネブカデレザルの手と、その敵の手、およびその命を求める者の手に渡す。バビロンの王はつるぎの刃にかけて彼らを撃ち、彼らを惜しまず、顧みず、またあわれむこともしない』。
And after thus [the] utterance of Yahweh I will give Zedekiah [the] king of Judah and servants his - and the people and those [who] remain in the city this from the pestilence - from the sword and from the famine in [the] hand of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon and in [the] hand of enemies their and in [the] hand of [those who] seek life their and he will strike down them to [the] mouth of [the] sword not he will have mercy on them and not he will show pity and not he will have compassion.
8 あなたはまたこの民に言いなさい、『主はこう仰せられる、見よ、わたしは命の道と死の道とをあなたがたの前に置く。
And to the people this you will say thus he says Yahweh here I [am] putting before you [the] way of life and [the] way of death.
9 この町にとどまる者は、つるぎと、ききんと、疫病とで死ぬ。しかし、出て行って、あなたがたを攻め囲んでいるカルデヤびとに降伏する者は死を免れ、その命は自分のぶんどり物となる。
The [one who] remains in the city this he will die by the sword and by famine and by pestilence and the [one who] goes out and he will fall on the Chaldeans who are laying siege on you (and he will live *Q(K)*) and it will belong to him life his to plunder.
10 主は言われる、わたしがこの町に顔を向けたのは幸を与えるためではなく、災を与えるためである。この町はバビロンの王の手に渡される。彼は火をもって、これを焼き払う』。
For I have set face my on the city this for harm and not for good [the] utterance of Yahweh in [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon it will be given and he will burn it with fire.
11 またユダの王の家に言いなさい、『主の言葉を聞きなさい。
And to [the] house of [the] king of Judah hear [the] word of Yahweh.
12 ダビデの家よ、主はこう仰せられる、朝ごとに、正しいさばきを行い、物を奪われた人をしえたげる者の手から救え。そうしないと、あなたがたの悪い行いのために、わたしの怒りは火のように燃えて、それを消すことはできない』」。
O house of David thus he says Yahweh judge to the morning justice and deliver [one who] has been robbed from [the] hand of an oppressor lest it should go forth like fire rage my and it will burn and there not [will be one who] extinguishes because of [the] wickedness of (deeds your. *Q(K)*)
13 「主は言われる、谷に住む者よ、平原の岩よ、見よ、わたしはあなたに敵する。あなたがたは言う、『だれが下ってきて、われわれを攻めるものか、だれがわれわれのいる所に、はいるものか』と。
Here I [am] against you O inhabitant of the valley O rock of the plain [the] utterance of Yahweh O those [who] say who? will he come down on us and who? will he come in hiding places our.
14 わたしはあなたがたを、その行いの実によって罰する。またその林に火をつけて、その周囲のものをみな焼き尽すと、主は言われる」。
And I will visit [judgment] on you according to [the] fruit of deeds your [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will kindle a fire in forest its and it will consume all around it.
