エレミヤ書 3
1 世にいへるあり人もしその妻をいださんに去りゆきてほかの人の妻とならば其夫ふたたび彼に歸るべけんやさすれば其地はおほいに汚れざらんや汝はおほくの者と姦淫を行へりされど汝われに皈れよとヱホバいひ給ふ
They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but you have played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, says the LORD.
2 汝目をあげてもろもろの童山をみよ姦淫を行はざる所はいづこにあるや汝は曠野にをるアラビヤ人の爲すがごとく路に坐して人をまてり汝は姦淫と惡をもて此地を汚せり
Lift up your eyes unto the high places, and see where you have not been lien with. In the ways have you sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and you have polluted the land with your whoredoms and with your wickedness.
3 この故に雨はとどめられ春の雨はふらざりし然れど汝娼妓の額あれば肯て恥ず
Therefore the showers have been withheld, and there has been no latter rain; and you had a whore's forehead, you refused to be ashamed.
4 汝いまより我を呼ていはざらんや我父よ汝はわが少時の交友なり
Will you not from this time cry unto me, My father, you are the guide of my youth?
5 窮なくその怒を含まんや恒に之を存たんやと視よ汝はかくいへど力をきはめて惡を爲すなり
Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, you have spoken and done evil things as you could.
6 ヨシヤ王のときヱホバまた我にいひ給ひけるは汝そむけるイスラエルのなせしことを見しや彼はすべての高山にのぼりすべての靑木の下にゆきて其處に姦淫を行へり
The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there has played the harlot.
7 彼このすべての事を爲せしのち我かれに汝われに歸れと言しかどもわれに歸らざりき其悖れる姊妹なるユダ之を見たり
And I said after she had done all these things, Turn you unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
8 我に背けるイスラエル姦淫をなせしにより我かれを出して離緣状をあたへたれどその悖れる姊妹なるユダは懼れずして往て姦淫を行ふ我これを見る
And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
9 また其姦淫の噪をもてこの地を汚し且石と木とに姦淫を行へり
And it came to pass through the levity of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
10 此諸の事あるも仍其悖れる姊妹なるユダは眞心をもて我にかへらず僞れるのみとヱホバいひたまふ
And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah has not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, says the LORD.
11 ヱホバまた我にいひたまひけるは背けるイスラエルは悖れるユダよりも自己を義とす
And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel has justified herself more than treacherous Judah.
12 汝ゆきて北にむかひ此言を宣ていふべしヱホバいひたまふ背けるイスラエルよ歸れわれ怒の面を汝らにむけじわれは矜恤ある者なり怒を限なく含みをることあらじとヱホバいひたまふ
Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, you backsliding Israel, says the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, says the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever.
13 汝ただ汝の罪を認はせそは汝の神ヱホバにそむき經めぐりてすべての靑木の下にて異邦人にゆき汝等わが聲をきかざればなりとヱホバいひ給ふ
Only acknowledge your iniquity, that you have transgressed against the LORD your God, and have scattered your ways to the strangers under every green tree, and all of you have not obeyed my voice, says the LORD.
14 ヱホバいひたまふ背ける衆子よ我にかへれそはわれ汝等を娶ればなりわれ邑より一人支派より二人を取りて汝等をシオンにつれゆかん
Turn, O backsliding children, says the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:
15 われ我心に合ふ牧者を汝等にあたへん彼等は知識と明哲をもて汝等を養ふべし
And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
16 ヱホバいひたまふ汝等地に增して多くならんときは人々復ヱホバの契約の櫃といはず之を想ひいでず之を憶えずこれを尋ねずこれを作らざるべし
And it shall come to pass, when all of you be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, says the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.
17 その時ヱルサレムはヱホバの座位と稱へられ萬國の民ここに集るべし即ちヱホバの名によりてヱルサレムに集り重て其惡き心の剛愎なるにしたがひて行まざるべし
At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.
18 その時ユダの家はイスラエルの家とともに行みて北の地よりいで我汝らの先祖たちに與へて嗣しめし地に偕にきたるべし
In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.
19 我いへり嗚呼われいかにして汝を諸子の中に置き萬國の中にて最も美しき產業なる此美地を汝にあたへんと我またいへり汝われを我父とよび亦我を離れざるべしと
But I said, How shall I put you among the children, and give you a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, You shall call me, My father; and shall not turn away from me.
20 然にイスラエルの家よ妻の誓に違きてその夫を棄るがごとく汝等われに背けりとヱホバいひたまふ
Surely as a wife treacherously departs from her husband, so have all of you dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, says the LORD.
21 聲山のうへに聞ゆ是はイスラエルの民の悲み祈るなり蓋彼等まがれる途にあゆみ其神ヱホバを忘るればなり
A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God.
22 背ける諸子よ我に歸れわれ汝の退違をいやさん／視よ我儕なんぢに到る汝はわれらの神ヱホバなればなり
Return, all of you backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto you; for you are the LORD our God.
23 信に諸の岡とおほくの山に救を望むはいたづらなり誠にイスラエルの救はわれらの神ヱホバにあり
Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel.
24 羞恥はわれらの幼時より我儕の先祖の產業すなはち其多の羊とそのおほくの牛および其子その女を呑盡せり
For shame has devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
25 われらは羞恥に臥し我らは恥辱に覆はるべしそは我儕とわれらの列祖は我らの幼時より今日にいたるまで罪をわれらの神ヱホバに犯し我儕の神ヱホバの聲に遵はざればなり
We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covers us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.
