Jeremiah 8
1 At that time, Declareth Yahweh, Shall they bring forth, 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 shall spread them out—To the sun, and To the moon, and To all the host of the heavens, Whom they have loved, And whom they have served, And after whom they have walked, And whom they have sought, And to whom they have bowed themselves down, —They shall not be gathered, Neither shall they be buried, As heaps of dung on the face of the ground, shall they be.
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 Then shall, death, be chosen rather than life, by all the remnant of them that remain, of this wicked family, —in all the places, whither I have driven them, Declareth Yahweh 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 Therefore shalt thou say unto them—Thus, saith Yahweh, Will men fall and not arise? Will one turn away, and not come back?
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 Wherefore hath this people of Jerusalem apostatized with an enduring apostacy, —Taken fast hold of deceit, Refused to come back?
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 hearkened and heard—Not aright, did they speak, —Not a man, repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done! They have every one, turned to their course again, Like a horse sweeping on through 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 Even the stork in the heavens knoweth her appointed times, And the turtle and the swallow and the crane, observe the season for coming; But my people know not the just sentence of Yahweh.
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, Wise, are, we, And the law of Yahweh, is with us? But indeed lo! falsely, hath dealt the false pen of the scribes!
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 Ashamed are the wise, dismayed and captured! Lo! the word of Yahweh, have they rejected, And, what wisdom, have, they?
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 to others, Their fields to such as shall take possession of them, For from the least, even unto the greatest, Every one, is, wholly given to extortion: From the prophet even unto the priest, Every one, dealeth, falsely.
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 so they have healed the grievous wound of the daughter of my people, slightly, —Saying, Peace! peace! when there was 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 Were they led to turn pale because an abominable thing, they had done? Nay! they did not, at all turn pale Nay! they did not so much as know how to exhibit shame! Therefore, shall they fall among them who are falling, In the time when they are punished, shall they be overthrown, Saith Yahweh:
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 remove, them, declareth Yahweh: There shall be no grapes on the vine Nor figs on the fig-tree, Even the leaf, hath faded, Though I have given them these things, they 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 are, we, sitting still? Gather yourselves together and let us enter the defenced cities And let us be silent there, —For, Yahweh our God, hath put us to silence And made us drink poisoned water, Because we have sinned against Yahweh.
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 A waiting For prosperity, but no welfare, —For a time of healing, but lo! 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 chargers, the whole land trembled, —Yea they came in and did sat up The land and the fulness thereof, The city, and them who were dwelling 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 me! sending among you serpents—vipers which there is no charming, —And they shall fatally bite you declareth Yahweh.
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 have cheered myself against sorrow, Against me, mine own heart sickened: —
嗚呼われ憂ふいかにして慰藉をえんや我衷の心惱む
19 Lo! the voice of the cry for help of the daughter of my people from a land far away, Is, Yahweh, not in Zion? Is, her King, not within her? Why, have they provoked me with their carved images, with their foreign vanities?
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 passed, The fruit-gathering, is ended; And we are not saved!
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 For the grievous injury of the daughter of my people, I am grievously injured, —I am enshrouded in gloom, Horror, hath seized 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 Balsam, is there none, in Gilead? Is there no physician, there? Why hath not appeared the healing 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
