Jeremiah 8

1 At that time, says the Lord, they will take the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his rulers, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the people of Jerusalem out of their resting-places:

ヱホバいひたまふその時人ユダの王等の骨とその牧伯等の骨と祭司の骨と預言者の骨とヱルサレムの民の骨をその墓よりほりいだし

2 And they will put them out before the sun and the moon and all the stars of heaven, whose lovers and servants they have been, after whom they have gone, to whom they have made prayers, and to whom they have given worship: they will not be put together or placed in the earth; they will be waste on the face of the earth.

彼等の愛し奉へ從ひ求め且祭れるところの日と月と天の衆群の前にこれを曝すべし其骨はあつむる者なく葬る者なくして糞土のごとくに地の面にあらん

3 And death will be desired more than life by the rest of this evil family who are still living in all the places where I have sent them away, says the Lord of armies.

この惡き民の中ののこれる餘遺の者すべてわが逐やりしところに餘れる者皆生るよりも死ぬることを願んと萬軍のヱホバ云たまふ

4 Further, you are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Will those who are falling not be lifted up again? will he who has gone away not come back?

汝また彼らにヱホバかくいふと語るべし人もし仆るれば起きかへるにあらずやもし離るれば歸り來るにあらずや

5 Why do these people of Jerusalem go back, for ever turning away? they will not give up their deceit, they will not come back.

何故にヱルサレムにをる此民は恒にわれを離れて歸らざるや彼らは詐僞をかたく執て歸ることを否めり

6 I took note and gave ear, but no one said what is right: no man had regret for his evil-doing, saying, What have I done? everyone goes off on his way like a horse rushing to the fight.

われ耳を側てて聽に彼らは善ことを云ず一人もその惡を悔いてわがなせし事は何ぞやといふ者なし彼らはみな戰場に馳入る馬のごとくにその途に歸るなり

7 Truly, the stork in the heavens is conscious of her fixed times; the dove and the swallow and the crane keep to the times of their coming; but my people have no knowledge of the law of the Lord.

天空の鶴はその定期を知り斑鳩と燕と鴈はそのきたる時を守るされど我民はヱホバの律法をしらざるなり

8 How is it that you say, We are wise and the law of the Lord is with us? But see, the false pen of the scribes has made it false.

汝いかで我ら智慧ありわれらにはヱホバの律法ありといふことをえんや視よまことに書記の僞の筆之を僞とせり

9 The wise men are shamed, they are overcome with fear and taken: see, they have given up the word of the Lord; and what use is their wisdom to them?

智慧ある者は辱しめられまたあわてて執へらる視よ彼等ヱホバの言を棄たり彼ら何の智慧あらんや

10 So I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who will take them for themselves: for everyone, from the least to the greatest, is given up to getting money; from the priest even to the prophet, everyone is false.

故にわれその妻を他人にあたへ其田圃を他人に嗣しめん彼らは小さき者より大なる者にいたるまで皆貪婪者また預言者より祭司にいたるまで皆詭詐をなす者なればなり

11 And they have made little of the wounds of the daughter of Zion, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

彼ら我民の女の傷を淺く醫し平康からざる時に平康平康といへり

12 Let them be put to shame because they have done disgusting things. They had no shame, they were not able to become red with shame: so they will come down with those who are falling: in the time of their punishment they will be made low, says the Lord.

彼ら憎むべき事をなして恥辱らる然れど毫も恥ずまた恥を知らずこの故に彼らは仆るる者と偕に仆れんわが彼らを罰するときかれら躓くべしとヱホバいひたまふ

13 I will put an end to them completely, says the Lord: there are no grapes on the vine and no figs on the fig-tree, and the leaf is dry.

ヱホバいひたまふ我彼らをことごとく滅さん葡萄の樹に葡萄なく無花果の樹に無花果なしその葉も槁れたり故にわれ殲滅者を彼らにつかはす.

14 Why are we seated doing nothing? come together, and let us go to the walled towns, and let destruction overtake us there, for the Lord our God has sent destruction on us, and given us bitter water for our drink, because we have done evil against the Lord.

我ら何ぞ此にとどまるやあつまれよ我ら堅き城邑にゆきて其處に滅ん我儕ヱホバに罪を犯せしによりて我らの神ヱホバ我らを滅し毒なる水を飮せたまへばなり

15 We were looking for peace, but no good came; and for a time of well-being, but there is only a great fear.

われら平康を望めども善こと來らず慰めらるる時を望むにかへつて恐懼きたる

16 The loud breathing of the horses comes to our ears from Dan: at the sound of the outcry of his war-horses, all the land is shaking with fear; for they have come, and have made a meal of the land and everything in it; the town and the people living in it.

その馬の嘶はダンよりきこえこの地みなその強き馬の聲によりて震ふ彼らきたりて此地とその上にある者および邑とその中に住る者を食ふ

17 See, I will send snakes and poison-snakes among you, against which the wonder-worker has no power; and they will give you wounds which may not be made well, says the Lord.

視よわれ呪詛のきかざる蛇蝮を汝らのうちに遣はさん是汝らを嚙べしとヱホバいひたまふ

18 Sorrow has come on me! my heart in me is feeble.

嗚呼われ憂ふいかにして慰藉をえんや我衷の心惱む

19 The voice of the cry of the daughter of my people comes from a far land: Is the Lord not in Zion? is not her King in her? Why have they made me angry with their images and their strange gods which are no gods?

みよ遠き國より我民の女の聲ありていふヱホバはシオンに在さざるか其王はその中に在ざるかと(ヱホバいひたまふ)彼らは何故にその偶像と異邦の虛き物をもて我を怒らせしやと

20 The grain-cutting is past, the summer is ended, and no salvation has come to us.

收穫の時は過ぎ夏もはや畢りぬされど我らはいまだ救はれず

21 For the destruction of the daughter of my people I am broken: I am dressed in the clothing of grief; fear has taken me in its grip.

我民の女の傷によりて我も傷み且悲しむ恐懼我に迫れり

22 Is there no life-giving oil in Gilead? is there no expert in medical arts? why then have my people not been made well?

ギレアデに乳香あるにあらずや彼處に醫者あるにあらずやいかにして我民の女はいやされざるや
