Jeremiah 8
1 Yahweh says, “At the time [that your corpses are scattered on the ground], [your enemies will] break open the graves of your kings and [other] officials who lived in Judah, and the graves of your priests and prophets and other people who lived there.
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 take out their bones [from their graves] and [dishonor them by] scattering them on the ground under the sun and the moon and the stars— those are the gods which my people loved and served and worshiped. No one will gather up their bones and bury them [again]; they will remain scattered on the ground like dung.
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 all the people of this wicked nation [who are still alive and] whom I have exiled to other countries will say, ‘We would prefer to die than to continue to stay alive [here in these countries].’ [That will be true because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
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 [Yahweh said to me, “Jeremiah], tell the people that this is what [I], Yahweh, am saying to them: ‘When people fall down, they get up again, do they not [RHQ]? When people are going along a road and find out that they are walking on the wrong road, they go back [and find the correct road], do they not [RHQ]?
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 [Yes, they do], so why do these people [of Judah] continue [trusting in those idols that have deceived them]? They continue turning away from me, [even though I have warned them].
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 have listened carefully [DOU] [to what they say], but they do not say what they should say. Not one of them is sorry for having sinned. No one says, “I have done [RHQ] wicked things.” They are [sinning and] doing what they want to as fast as [SIM] a horse that is running into a 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 All the birds [that fly south for the (winter/cold season)] know the time that they need to fly south, and they all return at the right time the following year. But my people [are not like those birds]! They do not know what [I], Yahweh, require them to do.
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 Your men who teach you [the laws that Moses wrote] have been saying false things [about those laws]. [So], why [RHQ] do they [continue] saying, “We are [very] wise [because] we have the laws of Yahweh”?
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 Those teachers, who think that [IRO] they are wise, will be ashamed/disgraced and dismayed when they are taken [to other countries by their enemies] because they sinned by rejecting what I told them. Truly, they were not [RHQ] very wise to do that!
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 other men; I will give their fields to [the enemy soldiers] who conquer them. All the people, including those who are important and those who are not important, deceive [others] in order to obtain their possessions. Even [my] prophets and my priests do that.
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 act as though the sins of my people] are not serious, [like] [MET] wounds that do not need to be cleaned and bandaged. They tell the people that everything will go well with them, [but that is not true]; things will not go well with them.
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 be [RHQ] ashamed when they do disgusting things [RHQ], but they do not even know how to show on their faces that they are ashamed [about their sins]. So, [they will be killed, and] their corpses [also] will lie among the corpses of others who have been slaughtered [by their enemies]. They will be killed when I punish them.
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 [allow their enemies to] take away the figs and grapes that the people would have harvested from their fields. Their fruit trees will all wither. They will not receive [all] the blessings that I prepared for them. [This will certainly happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.’”
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 [Then the people will say], “(Why should we wait here [in these small towns]?/We should not wait here [in these small towns].) [RHQ]! We should go to the cities that have high walls around them, [but even if we do that] we will be killed there, because Yahweh our God has decided that we must be destroyed; [it is as though] [MET] he has given us a cup of poison 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/desired that things would go well for us, but things have not gone well. We hoped that bad things would not happen to us any more, but only things that terrify us [are happening to us].
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 People [far north in Israel] in [the city of] Dan can already hear the snorting of the horses of their enemies [who are preparing to attack us]. [It is as though] the entire land [of Judah] is shaking as their army approaches; they are coming to destroy our land and everything in it, the people and the cities.”
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 [Yahweh says], “I will send [those enemy soldiers to Judah], and they will be like [MET] poisonous snakes among you. No one will be able to stop them from attacking you [MET]; they will attack you like snakes do, [and kill you].”
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 I grieve very much [for the people of Judah], and my grieving does not end. I am very sad [IDM].
嗚呼われ憂ふいかにして慰藉をえんや我衷の心惱む
19 Throughout our land, the people ask, “Has Yahweh abandoned Jerusalem? Is [he], our city’s king, no longer there?” [Yahweh replies], “Why do the people cause me to become very angry by [worshiping] idols and foreign gods?” [RHQ]
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 people say], “The harvest [season] is finished, the (summer/hot season) has ended, [and we hoped that we would receive blessings from Yahweh], but he has not rescued us [from our enemies].”
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 cry because my people have been crushed. I mourn, and I am completely dismayed.
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 [I ask], “Surely there is [RHQ] medicinal balm in the Gilead [region]! Surely there are [RHQ] doctors there!” But my people have been badly wounded [in their spirits], and nothing can heal them.
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
