エレミヤ書 11
1 ヱホバよりヱレミヤにのぞめる言いふ
The word that came to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
2 汝らこの契約の言をききユダの人とヱルサレムにすめる者に告よ
"Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
3 汝かれらに語れイスラエルの神ヱホバかくいひたまふこの契約の言に遵はざる人は詛はる
and say to them, 'Thus says YHWH, the God of Israel: "Cursed is the man who doesn't hear the words of this covenant,
4 この契約はわが汝らの先祖をエジプトの地鐵の爐の中より導き出せし日にかれらに命ぜしものなり即ち我いひけらく汝ら我聲をきき我汝らに命ぜし諸の事に從ひて行はば汝らは我民となり我は汝らの神とならん
which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, "Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so you shall be my people, and I will be your God;
5 われ汝らの先祖に乳と蜜の流るる地を與へんと誓ひしことを成就んと即ち今日のごとしその時我こたへてアーメン、ヱホバといへり
that I may establish the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey," as at this day.'" Then I answered, and said, "Amen, YHWH."
6 またヱホバ我にいひたまひけるは汝すべて此等の言をユダの諸邑とヱルサレムの衢にしめし汝ら此契約の言をききてこれを行へといふべし
YHWH said to me, "Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, 'Hear the words of this covenant, and do them.
7 われ汝らの列祖をエジプトの地より導出せし日より今日にいたるまで切に彼らを戒め頻に戒めて汝ら我聲に遵へといへり
For I earnestly protested to your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even to this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
8 然ど彼らは遵はずその耳を傾けずおのおの其惡き心の剛愎なるにしたがひて歩めり故にわれ此契約の言を彼等にきたらす是はわがかれらに之を行へと命ぜしかども彼等がおこなはざりし者なり
Yet they did not obey, nor turn their ear, but walked everyone in the stubbornness of their evil heart: therefore I brought on them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did not do them.'"
9 またヱホバ我にいひたまひけるはユダの人々とヱルサレムに住る者の中に叛逆の事あり
YHWH said to me, "A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
10 彼らは我言をきくことを好まざりしところのその先祖の罪にかへり亦他の神に從ひて之に奉へたりイスラエルの家とユダの家はわがその列祖たちと締たる契約をやぶれり
They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words; and they are gone after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
11 この故にヱホバかくいひ給ふみよわれ災禍をかれらにくださん彼らこれを免かるることをえざるべし彼ら我をよぶとも我聽じ
Therefore thus says YHWH, 'Look, I will bring disaster on them, which they shall not be able to escape; and they shall cry to me, but I will not listen to them.
12 ユダの邑とヱルサレムに住る者はゆきてその香を焚し神を龥んされど是等はその災禍の時に絕てかれらを救ふことあらじ
Then shall the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem go and cry to the gods to which they offer incense: but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
13 ユダよ汝の神の數は汝の邑の數のごとし且汝らヱルサレムの衢の數にしたがひて恥べき者に壇をたてたり即ちバアルに香を焚んとて壇をたつ
For according to the number of your cities are your gods, Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have you set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal.'
14 故に汝この民の爲に祈る勿れ又その爲に泣きあるひは求る勿れ彼らがその災禍のために我を呼ときわれ彼らに聽ざるべし
Therefore do not pray for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry to me at the time of their trouble."
15 わが愛する者は我室にて何をなすや惡き謀をなすや願と聖き肉汝に災を脱れしむるやもし然らば汝よろこぶべし
"What has my beloved to do in my house, since she has done many vile deeds? Can holy meat avert your disaster so that you can rejoice?"
16 ヱホバ汝の名を嘉果ある美しき靑橄欖の樹と稱たまひしがおほいなる喧嚷の聲をもて之に火をかけ且その枝を折りたまふ
YHWH called your name, "A green olive tree, beautiful with goodly fruit." With the noise of a great tumult he has kindled fire on it, and its branches are broken.
17 汝を植し萬軍のヱホバ汝の災をさだめ給へりこれイスラエルの家とユダの家みづから害ふの惡をなしたるによるなり即ちバアルに香を焚きてわれを怒らせたり
For YHWH of hosts, who planted you, has pronounced evil against you, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have worked for themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense to Baal."
18 ヱホバ我に知せたまひければ我これを知るその時汝彼らの作爲を我にしめしたまへり
YHWH gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it: then you showed me their doings.
19 我は牽れて宰られにゆく羔の如く彼らが我をそこなはんとて謀をなすを知ず彼らいふいざ我ら樹とその果とを共に滅さんかれを生る者の地より絕てその名を人に忘れしむべしと
But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter; and I did not know that they had devised devices against me, saying, "Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered."
20 義き鞫をなし人の心腸を察りたまふ萬軍のヱホバよ我わが訴を汝にのべたればわれをして汝が彼らに仇を報すを見せしめたまへ
"But, YHWH of hosts, who judges righteously, who tests the heart and the mind, I shall see your vengeance on them; for to you have I revealed my cause."
21 是をもてヱホバ、アナトテの人々につきてかくいひたまふ彼等汝の生命を取んと索めて言ふ汝ヱホバの名をもて預言する勿れ恐らくは汝我らの手に死んと
Therefore thus says YHWH concerning the men of Anathoth, who seek my life, saying, "You shall not prophesy in the name of YHWH, that you not die by our hand;"
22 故に萬軍のヱホバかくいひ給ふみよ我かれらを罰すべし壯丁は劍に死にその子女は饑饉にて死なん
therefore thus says YHWH of hosts, "Look, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine;
23 餘る者なかるべし我災をアナトテの人々にきたらしめわが彼らを罰するの年をきたらしめん
and there shall be no remnant to them: for I will bring disaster on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation."
