Jeremiah 8
1 At that time, saith the Lord, shall they bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, 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 And they shall spread them out before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and to which they have prostrated themselves: they shall not be gathered up, and they shall not be buried; dung upon the face of the ground shall they become.
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 shall be preferable to life, for all the residue of those that are left of this evil family, who are left in all the places whither I shall have driven them, saith the Lord of hosts.
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 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord, Shall they fall, and not arise? will he turn away, and not return?
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 then remaineth this people, Jerusalem, rebellious by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast on deceit, they refuse to return.
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 listened and heard, but they would not speak aright; no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned again to his course, as the impetuous horse in the 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 Yea, the stork in the heavens knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle, and the swallow, atad the crane observe the time of their coming home; but my people know not the ordinance 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 can ye say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? Truly, behold in vain wrought the pen, in vain the writers.
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 ashamed, they are discouraged and caught, lo, the word of the Lord have they rejected; and what wisdom have they [now]?
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 Therefore will I give their wives unto others, their fields to conquerors; for from the least even unto the greatest, every one is seeking his own gain: from the prophet even unto the priest every one practiseth falsehood.
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 heal the breach of the daughter of my people very lightly, 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 They should have been ashamed, because they had committed abomination; but they neither felt the least shame, nor did they know how to blush: therefore shall they fall among those that fall; at the time of their punishment shall they stumble, saith 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 surely make an end of them, saith the Lord: [there shall be left] no grapes on the vine, and no figs on the fig-tree, and the leaf shall wither; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from 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 “Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there; for the Lord our God hath put us to silence, and given us poison-water to drink; because we have sinned 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 hoped for peace, but no happiness is here; for a time of cure, and behold here is 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 From Dan was heard the snorting of his horses; at the sound of the neighing of his war-steeds trembleth the whole land: and they are come, and devour the land, and all that filleth it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
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 For, behold, I will send out against you serpents, basilisks, for which there is no charm, and they shall bite you, saith 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 When I would cheer myself up against sorrow, my heart within me is pained.
嗚呼われ憂ふいかにして慰藉をえんや我衷の心惱む
19 Behold [I hear] the voice of the complaint of the daughter of my people [coming] out of a far-off land: “Is the Lord not in Zion? is her king no more in her?” “Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with the vanities of the stranger?”
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 past, the summer is ended, and we are not yet helped.”
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 Because of the breach of the daughter of my people am I broken: I am grieved; astonishment hath taken fast hold on me.
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 [more] balm in Gil'ad? or is no physician there? why then is there not placed a plaster [on the wound of] the daughter of my people?
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
