< Jeremiah 13 >

1 Thus sayth the Lord vnto mee, Goe, and buy thee a linen girdle, and put it vpon thy loynes, and put it not in water.
ヱホバかくいひたまへり汝ゆきて麻の帶をかひ汝の腰にむすべ水に入る勿れ
2 So I bought the girdle according to the commandement of the Lord, and put it vpon my loynes.
われすなはちヱホバの言に遵ひ帶をかひてわが腰にむすべり
3 And the worde of the Lord came vnto me the second time, saying,
ヱホバの言ふたたび我にのぞみて云ふ
4 Take the girdle that thou hast bought, which is vpon thy loynes, and arise, goe towarde Perath, and hide it there in the cleft of the rocke.
汝が買て腰にむすべる帶を取り起てユフラテにゆき彼處にてこれを磐の穴にかくせと
5 So I went, and hid it by Perath, as the Lord had commanded me.
ここに於てわれヱホバの命じたまひし如く往てこれをユフラテの涯にかくせり
6 And after many dayes, the Lord sayde vnto mee, Arise, goe towarde Perath, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there.
おほくの日を經しのちヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは起てユフラテにゆきわが汝に命じて彼處にかくさしめし帶を取れと
7 Then went I to Perath, and digged, and tooke the girdle from the place where I had hid it, and behold, the girdle was corrupt, and was profitable for nothing.
われすなはちユフラテにゆき帶を我隱せしところより掘取りしにその帶は朽て用ふるにたへず
8 Then the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
またヱホバの言われにのぞみて云ふ
9 Thus sayth the Lord, After this maner will I destroy the pride of Iudah, and the great pride of Ierusalem.
ヱホバかくいふ我かくの如くユダの驕傲とヱルサレムの大なる驕傲をやぶらん
10 This wicked people haue refused to heare my word, and walke after ye stubbernesse of their owne heart, and walke after other gods to serue them, and to worship them: therefore they shalbe as this girdle, which is profitable to nothing.
この惡き民はわが言を聽ことをこばみ己の心の剛愎なるにしたがひて行み且他の神に從ひてこれにつかへ之を拜す彼等は此帶の用ふるにたへざるが如くなるべし
11 For as the girdle cleaueth to the loynes of a man, so haue I tied to me the whole house of Israel, and the whole house of Iudah, saith the Lord, that they might bee my people: that they might haue a name and prayse, and glory, but they would not heare.
ヱホバいふ帶の人の腰に附がごとくわれイスラエルのすべての家とユダのすべての家を我に附しめ之を我民となし名となし譽となし榮となさんとせり然るに彼等はきかざりき
12 Therefore thou shalt saye vnto them this word, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Euery bottell shalbe filled with wine, and they shall say vnto thee, Doe we not knowe that euery bottell shalbe filled with wine?
故に汝この言を彼らに語るべしイスラエルの神ヱホバかくいふ酒壺には皆酒盈つと彼汝にこたへていはん我儕豈酒壺に酒の盈ることを知ざらんやと
13 Then shalt thou say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, euen the Kings that sit vpon the throne of Dauid, and the Priestes and the Prophets and all the inhabitantes of Ierusalem with drunkennesse.
其時汝かれらにいふべしヱホバかくいふみよわれ此地に住るすべての者とダビデの位に坐する王等と祭司と預言者およびヱルサレムに住るすべての者に醉を盈せ
14 And I wil dash them one against another, euen the fathers and the sonnes together, sayeth the Lord: I will not spare, I will not pitie nor haue compassion, but destroy them.
彼らを此と彼と打あはせて碎かん父と子をも然すべしわれ彼らを恤まず惜まず憐まずして滅さん
15 Heare and giue eare, be not proude: for the Lord hath spoken it.
汝らきけ耳を傾けよ驕る勿れヱホバかたりたまふなり
16 Giue glory to the Lord your God before he bring darknes, and or euer your feete stumble in the darke mountaines, and whiles you look for light, he turne it into the shadowe of death and make it as darkenesse.
汝らの神ヱホバに其いまだ暗を起したまはざる先汝らの足のくらき山に躓かざる先に榮光を皈すべし汝ら光明を望まんにヱホバ之を死の蔭に變へ之を昏黑となしたまふにいたらん
17 But if ye will not heare this, my soule shall weepe in secrete for your pride, and mine eye shall weepe and drop downe teares, because the Lords flocke is caried away captiue.
汝ら若これを聽ずば我靈魂は汝らの驕を隱なるところに悲まん又ヱホバの群の掠めらるるによりて我目いたく泣て涙をながすべし
18 Say vnto the King and to the Queene, Humble yourselues, sit downe, for the crowne of your glory shall come downe from your heads.
なんぢ王と大后につげよ汝ら自ら謙りて坐せそはなんぢらの美しき冕汝らの首より落べければなり
19 The cities of the South shall be shut vp, and no man shall open them: all Iudah shall be caried away captiue: it shall be wholy caried away captiue.
南の諸邑は閉てこれを啓く人なしユダは皆擄移され盡くとらへ移さる
20 Lift vp your eyes and beholde them that come from the North: where is the flocke that was giuen thee, euen thy beautifull flocke?
汝ら目を擧げて北より來る者をみよ汝らが賜はりし群汝のうるはしき群はいづこにあるや
21 What wilt thou saye, when hee shall visite thee? (for thou hast taught them to be captaines and as chiefe ouer thee) shall not sorow take thee as a woman in trauaile?
かれ汝の親み馴たる者を汝の上にたてて首領となさんとき汝何のいふべきことあらんや汝の痛は子をうむ婦のごとくならざらんや
22 And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things vpon me? For the multitude of thine iniquities are thy skirts discouered and thy heeles made bare.
汝心のうちに何故にこの事我にきたるやといふか汝の罪の重によりて汝の裾は掲げられなんぢの踵はあらはさるるなり
23 Can the blacke More change his skin? or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do euill.
エテオピア人その膚をかへうるか豹その斑駁をかへうるか若これを爲しえば惡に慣たる汝らも善をなし得べし
24 Therefore will I scatter them, as the stubble that is taken away with the South winde.
故にわれ彼らを散して野の風に吹散さるる皮壳のごとくせん
25 This is thy portion, and ye part of thy measures from me, sayth the Lord, because thou hast forgotten me and trusted in lyes.
ヱホバいひたまふこは汝の得べき分わが量て汝にあたふる產業なり汝我をわすれて虛假を依賴ばなり
26 Therefore I haue also discouered thy skirts vpon thy face, that thy shame may appeare.
故にわれ汝の前の裳を剥ぎて汝の羞恥をあらはさん
27 I haue seene thine adulteries, and thy neiings, the filthinesse of thy whoredome on the hils in the fieldes, and thine abominations. Wo vnto thee, O Ierusalem: wilt thou not bee made cleane? when shall it once be?
われ汝の姦淫と汝の嘶と汝が岡のうへと野になせし汝の亂淫の罪と汝の憎むべき行をみたりヱルサレムよ汝は禍なるかな汝の潔くせらるるには尚いくばくの時を經べきや
