Jeremiah 8
1 When that happens, declares the Lord, the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of the officials, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the people of Jerusalem will be taken out of their graves.
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 They will lie exposed to the sun and moon, and to all the stars which they loved, which they served, which they followed, which they consulted, and which they worshiped. Their bones will not be collected or reburied, but will be left like manure lying on the ground.
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 Those who are left of this evil family will prefer to die rather than live in every place I've scattered them, declares the Lord Almighty.
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 Tell them this is what the Lord says: When people fall down, don't they get up again? When people go the wrong way, don't they turn around?
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 So why have these people of Jerusalem gone the wrong way? Why do they refuse to turn around from their repeated betrayals, holding on to all their lies?
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've heard exactly what they said, but they don't tell the truth. No one is sorry for doing wrong, asking, “What have I done?” Everyone chooses their own way, like a horse charging into battle.
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 Even storks high in the sky know when it's time to migrate. Turtledoves, swifts, and songbirds know when to fly away at the right time of the year. But my people don't know the laws 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 on earth can you say, “We're wise, and we have the Law of the Lord?” Can't you see that the writings of your teachers of the Law have turned it into lies?
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 will be shown to be foolish; they will be shocked at being caught out. Can't you see that they've rejected what the Lord says—so do they have any wisdom at all?
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 I'm going to give their wives to others, and their fields to different owners, since everyone cheats because they're greedy, poor and rich alike. Even prophets and priests—they are all dishonest liars!
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 They give my wounded people first aid, but they don't really care about them. They tell them, “Don't worry! We have peace!” even as war approaches.
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 Are they ashamed of the disgusting things they did? No, they're not ashamed at all, they can't even blush. So they will fall just like the others, when I punish them; they will drop down dead, 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'm going to destroy them, declares the Lord. There will be no grapes left on the vines, no figs on the trees—even the leaves will wither. They will lose whatever I gave them.
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 The people say, “Why are we sitting around here? Let's get together and run to the fortified towns. We can die there, for the Lord our God is killing us by giving us poisoned water to drink, because we sinned against him.
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 hoped for peace, but instead nothing good has come; we hoped for a time of healing, but instead there was only sudden terror.”
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 snorting of enemy horses can be heard from Dan. The whole country shakes in fear at the sound of the neighing of these strong stallions, They have come to destroy the country and everything in it; Jerusalem and everyone who lives there.
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 Watch out! I'm sending snakes among you, vipers that can't be charmed. They will come and bite you, declares 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 Nothing comforts me in my suffering; I feel terrible inside.
嗚呼われ憂ふいかにして慰藉をえんや我衷の心惱む
19 Listen to my people crying out for help from a distant land, asking “Isn't the Lord present in Zion anymore? Has her King left?” Why have they made me angry, worshiping their carved images and their useless foreign idols?
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 harvest is over, the summer is finished, but we're not saved,” say the people.
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 I'm crushed by the injuries suffered by my people; I mourn for them. I'm horrified at what's happened!
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 Isn't there any ointment from Gilead to help heal them? Aren't there any doctors there? So why haven't my people been healed from their wounds?
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
