Jeremiah 43
1 [So] I finished telling to the people that message from Yahweh our God.
ヱレミヤ諸の民にむかひて其神ヱホバの言を盡く宣べその神ヱホバが己を遣して言しめたまへる其諸の言を宣をはりし時
2 But then Johanan and Azariah and some other insolent/arrogant men said to me, “You are lying! Yahweh our God has not told [us] that we should not go to Egypt!
ホシャヤの子アザリヤ、カレヤの子ヨハナンおよび驕る人皆ヱレミヤに語りていひけるは汝は謊をいふ我らの神ヱホバはエジプトにゆきて彼處に住む勿れと汝をつかはして云せたまはざるなり
3 [We think that] Baruch has urged/persuaded you to say this, in order that [if we stay here], the soldiers from Babylonia will seize us and kill us or take us to Babylonia.”
ネリヤの子バルク汝を唆して我らに逆はしむ是我らをカルデヤ人の手に付して殺さしめバビロンに移さしめん爲なり
4 So Johanan and the other leaders of the [Israeli] soldiers and [many of] [HYP] the other people [who were there] refused to obey Yahweh’s command to stay in Judah.
斯カレヤの子ヨハナンと軍勢の長等および民皆ヱホバの聲に遵はずしてユダの地に住ことをせざりき
5 Johanan and all the [other] leaders gathered together all the people who had returned from the other countries to which they had been scattered.
斯てカレヤの子ヨハナンと軍勢の長等はユダに遺れる者即ちその逐やられし國々よりユダの地に住んとて皈りし者
6 [They included] men, women, children, the king’s daughters, and all those whom Nebuzaradan had left with Gedaliah, and they also took Baruch and me.
男女嬰孩王の女たちおよび凡て侍衞の長ネブザラダンがシヤパンの子なるアヒカムの子ゲダリヤに付し置し者並に預言者ヱレミヤとネリヤの子バルクを取て
7 They refused to obey Yahweh, and they took us all [to Egypt], as far as Tahpenes [city].
エジプトの地に至れり彼ら斯ヱホバの聲に遵はざりき而して遂にタパネスに至れり
8 [While we were] at Tahpenes, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
ヱホバの言タパネスにてヱレミヤに臨みていふ
9 “While the people of Judah are watching you, take some large rocks and bury them under the brick pavement at the entrance to the king’s palace there at Tahpenes.
汝大なる石を手に取りユダの人々の目の前にてこれをタパネスに在るパロの室の入口の旁なる磚窰の泥土の中に藏して
10 Then say to the people of Judah, ‘This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [you] Israelis [say you belong to], says: “I will summon Nebuchadnezzar the King of Babylon, who does my work, to come [with his army] to Egypt. I will set up his throne over these stones that I told Jeremiah to bury. And Nebuchadnezzar will set up his tent there [to show that he has become] the King [of Egypt].
彼らにいへ萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふ視よわれ使者を遣はしてわが僕なるバビロンの王ネブカデネザルを召きその位をこの藏したる石の上に置しめん彼錦繡をその上に敷べし
11 When his [army] comes, they will attack Egypt. Then those will die who [I have determined] must die, those who [I have determined] must be captured will be captured, and those who [I have determined] must be killed by swords will be killed by swords.
かれ來りてエジプトの地を撃ち死に定まれる者を死しめ虜に定まれる者を虜にし劍に定まれる者を劍にかけん
12 Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt. [But before they burn the temples], they will take away their idols [as souvenirs]. His [troops] will clean Egypt like a shepherd cleans lice from his cloak. They will tear down the sacred pillars that are in the temple of their sun god. And then Nebuchadnezzar’s [troops] will leave there, without having been harmed.”’”
われエジプトの諸神の室に火を燃さんネブカデネザル之を焚きかれらを虜にせん而して羊を牧ふ者のその身に衣を纒ふがごとくエジプトの地をその身に纒はん彼安然に其處をさるべし
彼はエジプトの地のベテシメシの偶像を毀ち火をもてエジプト人の諸神の室を焚べし
