Jeremiah 50
1 The word which the Lord said about Babylon, about the land of the Chaldaeans, by Jeremiah the prophet.
ヱホバ預言者ヱレミヤによりてバビロンとカルデヤ人の地のことを語り給ひし言
2 Give it out among the nations, make it public, and let the flag be lifted up; give the word and keep nothing back; say, Babylon is taken, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is broken, her images are put to shame, her gods are broken.
汝ら國々の中に告げまた宣示せ纛を樹よ隱すことなく宣示して言へバビロンは取られベルは辱められメロダクは碎かれ其像は辱められ其木像は碎かると
3 For out of the north a nation is coming up against her, which will make her land waste and unpeopled: they are in flight, man and beast are gone.
そは北の方より一の國人きたりて之を攻めその地を荒して其處に住む者無らしむればなり人も畜も皆逃去れり
4 In those days and in that time, says the Lord, the children of Israel will come, they and the children of Judah together; they will go on their way weeping and making prayer to the Lord their God.
ヱホバいひたまふその日その時イスラエルの子孫かへり來らん彼らと偕にユダの子孫かへり來るべし彼らは哭きつつ行てその神ヱホバに請求むべし
5 They will be questioning about the way to Zion, with their faces turned in its direction, saying, Come, and be united to the Lord in an eternal agreement which will be kept in mind for ever.
彼ら面をシオンに向てその路を問ひ來れ我らは永遠わするることなき契約をもてヱホバにつらならんといふべし
6 My people have been wandering sheep: their keepers have made them go out of the right way, turning them loose on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, having no memory of their resting-place.
我民は迷へる羊の群なりその牧者之をいざなひて山にふみ迷はしめたれば山より岡とゆきめぐりて其休息所を忘れたり
7 They have been attacked by all those who came across them: and their attackers said, We are doing no wrong, because they have done evil against the Lord in whom is righteousness, against the Lord, the hope of their fathers.
之に遇ふもの皆之を食ふその敵いへり我らは罪なし彼らヱホバすなはち義きの在所その先祖の望みしところなるヱホバに罪を犯したるなり
8 Go in flight out of Babylon, go out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and be like he-goats before the flocks.
汝らバビロンのうちより逃よカルデヤ人の地より出よ群の前にゆくところの牡山羊のごとくせよ
9 For see, I am moving and sending up against Babylon a band of great nations from the north country: and they will put their armies in position against her; and from there she will be taken: their arrows will be like those of an expert man of war; not one will come back without getting its mark.
視よわれ大なる國々より人を起しあつめて北の地よりバビロンに攻め來らしめん彼ら之にむかひて備をたてん是すなはち取るべし彼らの矢は空しく返らざる狡き勇士の矢のごとくなるべし
10 And the wealth of Chaldaea will come into the hands of her attackers: all those who take her wealth will have enough, says the Lord.
カルデヤは人に掠められん之を掠むる者は皆飽ことをえんとヱホバ曰たまふ
11 Because you are glad, because you are lifted up with pride, you wasters of my heritage, because you are playing like a young cow put out to grass, and you make a noise like strong horses;
我產業を掠る者よ汝らは喜び樂み穀物を碾す犢のごとくに躍り牡馬のごとく嘶けども
12 Your mother will be put to shame; she who gave you birth will be looked down on: see, she will be the last of the nations, a waste place, a dry and unwatered land.
汝らの母は痛く辱められん汝らを生しものは恥べし視よ國々の中の終末の者荒野となり燥ける地となり沙漠とならん
13 Because of the wrath of the Lord no one will be living in it, and it will be quite unpeopled: everyone who goes by Babylon will be overcome with wonder, and make sounds of fear at all her punishments.
ヱホバの怒りの爲に之に住む者なくして悉く荒地となるべしバビロンを過る者は皆その禍に驚き且嗤はん
14 Put your armies in position against Babylon on every side, all you bowmen; let loose your arrows at her, not keeping any back: for she has done evil against the Lord.
凡そ弓を張る者よバビロンの四周に備をなして攻め矢を惜まずして之を射よそは彼ヱホバに罪を犯したればなり
15 Give a loud cry against her on every side; she has given herself up, her supports are overturned, her walls are broken down: for it is the payment taken by the Lord; give her payment; as she has done, so do to her.
その四周に喊き叫びて攻めかかれ是手を伸ぶその城堞は倒れその石垣は崩る是ヱホバ仇を復したまふなり汝らこれに仇を復せ是の行ひしごとく是に行へ
16 Let the planter of seed be cut off from Babylon, and everyone using the curved blade at the time of the grain-cutting: for fear of the cruel sword, everyone will be turned to his people, everyone will go in flight to his land.
播種者および穡收時に鎌を執る者をバビロンに絕せその滅すところの劍を怖れて人おのおの其民に歸り各その故土に逃べし
17 Israel is a wandering sheep; the lions have been driving him away: first he was attacked by the king of Assyria, and now his bones have been broken by Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon.
イスラエルは散されたる羊にして獅子之を追ふ初にアツスリヤの王之を食ひ後にこのバビロンの王ネブカデネザルその骨を碎けり
18 So this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, I will send punishment on the king of Babylon and on his land, as I have given punishment to the king of Assyria.
この故に萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ視よわれアツスリヤの王を罰せしごとくバビロンの王とその地を罰せん
19 And I will make Israel come back to his resting-place, and he will get his food on Carmel and Bashan, and have his desire in full measure on the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead.
われイスラエルを再びその牧場に歸さん彼カルメルとバシヤンの上に草をくらはんまたエフライムとギレアデの山にてその心を飽すべし
20 In those days and in that time, says the Lord, when the evil-doing of Israel is looked for, there will be nothing; and in Judah no sins will be seen: for I will have forgiveness for those whom I will keep safe.
ヱホバいひたまふ其日その時にはイスラエルの愆を尋るも有らず又ユダの罪を尋るも遇じそはわれ我存せしところの者を赦すべければなり
21 Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the people of Pekod; put them to death and send destruction after them, says the Lord, and do everything I have given you orders to do.
ヱホバいひたまふ汝ら上りて悖れる國罰を受べき民を攻めその後より之を荒し全くこれを滅せ我汝らに命ぜしごとく行ふべし
22 There is a sound of war in the land and of great destruction.
その地に戰鬪の咷と大なる敗壤あり
23 How is the hammer of all the earth cut in two and broken! how has Babylon become a waste among the nations!
嗚呼全地を摧きし鎚折れ碎くるかな嗚呼バビロン國々の中に荒地となるかな
24 I have put a net for you, and you have been taken, O Babylon, without your knowledge: you have been uncovered and taken because you were fighting against the Lord.
バビロンよわれ汝をとるために罟を置けり汝は擒へらるれども知ず汝ヱホバに敵せしにより尋られて獲へらるるなり
25 From his store-house the Lord has taken the instruments of his wrath: for the Lord, the Lord of armies, has a work to do in the land of the Chaldaeans.
ヱホバ庫を啓きてその怒りの武器をいだしたまふ是主なる萬軍のヱホバ、カルデヤ人の地に事をなさんとしたまへばなり
26 Come up against her one and all, let her store-houses be broken open: make her into a mass of stones, give her to the curse, till there is nothing of her to be seen.
汝ら終の者にいたるまで來りてこれを攻めその庫を啓き之を積て塵垤のごとくせよ盡くこれを滅ぼして其處に遺る者なからしめよ
27 Put all her oxen to the sword; let them go down to death: sorrow is theirs, for their day has come, the time of their punishment.
その牡牛を悉く殺せこれを屠場にくだらしめよ其等は禍なるかな其日その罰を受べき時來れり
28 The voice of those who are in flight, who have got away safe from the land of Babylon, to give news in Zion of punishment from the Lord our God, even payment for his Temple.
バビロンの地より逃げて遁れ來し者の聲ありて我らの神ヱホバの仇復その殿の仇復をシオンに宣ぶ
29 Send for the archers to come together against Babylon, all the bowmen; put up your tents against her on every side; let no one get away: give her the reward of her work; as she has done, so do to her: for she has been uplifted in pride against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.
射者をバビロンに召集めよ凡そ弓を張る者よその四周に陣どりて之を攻め何人をも逃す勿れその作爲に循ひて之に報いそのすべて行ひし如くこれに行へそは彼イスラエルの聖者なるヱホバにむかひて驕りたればなり
30 For this cause her young men will be falling in her streets, and all her men of war will be cut off in that day, says the Lord.
是故にその日壯者は衢に踣れその兵卒は悉く絕されんとヱホバいひたまふ
31 See, I am against you, O pride, says the Lord, the Lord of armies, for your day has come, the time when I will send punishment on you.
主なる萬軍のヱホバいひたまふ驕傲者よ視よわれ汝の敵となる汝の日わが汝を罰する時きたれり
32 And pride will go with uncertain steps and have a fall, and there will be no one to come to his help: and I will put a fire in his towns, burning up everything round about him.
驕傲者は蹶きて仆れん之を扶け起す者なかるべしわれ火をその諸邑に燃しその四周の者を燒盡さん
33 This is what the Lord of armies has said: The children of Israel and the children of Judah are crushed down together: all those who took them prisoner keep them in a tight grip; they will not let them go.
萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふイスラエルの民とユダの民は偕に虐げらる彼らを擄にせし者は皆固くこれを守りて釋たざるなり
34 Their saviour is strong; the Lord of armies is his name: he will certainly take up their cause, so that he may give rest to the earth and trouble to the people of Babylon.
彼らを贖ふ者は強しその名は萬軍のヱホバなり彼必ずその訴を理してこの地に安を與へバビロンに住る者を戰慄しめ給はん
35 A sword is on the Chaldaeans, says the Lord, and on the people of Babylon, and on her rulers and on her wise men.
ヱホバいひたまふカルデヤ人の上バビロンに住る者の上およびその牧伯等とその智者等の上に劍あり
36 A sword is on the men of pride, and they will become foolish: a sword is on her men of war, and they will be broken.
劍僞る者の上にあり彼ら愚なる者とならん劍その勇士の上にあり彼ら懼れん
37 A sword is on all the mixed people in her, and they will become like women: a sword is on her store-houses, and they will be taken by her attackers.
劍その馬の上にあり其車の上にあり又その中にあるすべての援兵の上にあり彼ら婦女のごとくにならん劍その寶の上にあり是掠めらるべし
38 A sword is on her waters, drying them up; for it is a land of images, and their minds are fixed on false gods.
旱その水の上にあり是涸かん斯は偶像の地にして人々偶像に迷へばなり
39 For this reason the beasts of the waste land with the wolves will make their holes there and the ostriches will be living in it: never again will men be living there, it will be unpeopled from generation to generation.
是故に野の獸彼處に山犬と偕に居り鴕鳥も彼處に棲べし何時までも其地に住む人なく世々ここに住む人なかるべし
40 As when Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbouring towns were overturned by God, says the Lord, so no man will be living in it, and no son of man will have a resting-place there.
ヱホバいひたまふ神のソドム、ゴモラとその近隣の邑々を滅せしごとく彼處に住む人なく彼處に宿る人の子なかるべし
41 See, a people is coming from the north; a great nation and a number of kings will be put in motion from the inmost parts of the earth.
視よ北の方より民きたるあらん大なる國の人とおほくの王たち地の極より起らん
42 Bows and spears are in their hands; they are cruel and have no mercy; their voice is like the thunder of the sea, and they go on horses; everyone in his place like men going to the fight, against you, O daughter of Babylon.
彼らは弓と槍をとる情なく矜恤なしその聲は海のごとくに鳴るバビロンの女よ彼らは馬に乗り戰士のごとくに備へて汝を攻ん
43 The king of Babylon has had news of them, and his hands have become feeble: trouble has come on him and pain like the pain of a woman in childbirth.
バビロンの王その風聲をききしかば其手弱り苦痛と子を產む婦の如き劬勞彼に迫る
44 See, he will come up like a lion from the thick growth of Jordan against the resting-place of Teman: but I will suddenly make them go in flight from her; and I will put over her the man of my selection: for who is like me? and who will put forward his cause against me? and what keeper of sheep will keep his place before me?
視よ敵獅子のヨルダンの叢より上るが如く堅き宅に攻めきたらんわれ直に彼等を其處より逐奔らせわが選みたる者をその上に立ん誰か我のごとき者あらんや誰かわが爲に時期を定めんや何の牧者か我前に立ことをえん
45 So give ear to the decision of the Lord which he has made against Babylon, and to his purposes designed against the land of the Chaldaeans; Truly, they will be pulled away by the smallest of the flock; truly, he will make waste their fields with them.
さればバビロンにつきてヱホバの謀りたまひし御謀とカルデヤ人の地につきて思ひたまひし思想をきけ群の弱者必ず曳ゆかれん彼必ずかれらの住居を滅すべし
46 At the cry, Babylon is taken! the earth is shaking, and the cry comes to the ears of the nations.
バビロンは取れたりとの聲によりて地震へその號咷國々の中に聞ゆ
