エレミヤ書 30
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 the LORD, saying,
2 イスラエルの神ヱホバかく告ていふ我汝に言し言をことごとく書に錄せ
“The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a book.
3 ヱホバいふわれ我民イスラエルとユダの俘囚人を返す日きたらんヱホバこれをいふ我彼らをその先祖にあたへし地にかへらしめん彼らは之をたもたん
For, behold, the days come,’ says the LORD, ‘that I will reverse the captivity of my people Israel and Judah,’ says the LORD. ‘I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.’”
4 ヱホバのイスラエルとユダにつきていひたまひし言は是なり
These are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
5 ヱホバかくいふ我ら戰慄の聲をきく驚懼あり平安あらず
For the LORD says: “We have heard a voice of trembling; a voice of fear, and not of peace.
6 汝ら子を產む男あるやを尋ね觀よ我男が皆子を產む婦のごとく手をその腰におき且その面色皆靑く變るをみるこは何故ぞや
Ask now, and see whether a man travails with child. Why do I see every man with his hands on his waist, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned pale?
7 哀しいかなその日は大にして之に擬ふべき日なし此はヤコブの患難の時なり然ど彼はこれより救出されん
Alas, for that day is great, so that none is like it! It is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he will be saved out of it.
8 萬軍のヱホバいふ其日我なんぢの項よりその軛をくだきはなし汝の繩目をとかん異邦人は復彼を使役はざるべし
It will come to pass in that day, says the LORD of Armies, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds. Strangers will no more make them their bondservants;
9 彼らは其神ヱホバと我彼らの爲に立んところの其王ダビデにつかふべし
but they will serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them.
10 ヱホバいふ我僕ヤコブよ懼るる勿れイスラエルよ驚く勿れ我汝を遠方より救ひかへし汝の子孫を其とらへ移されし地より救ひかへさんヤコブは歸りて平穩と寧靜をえん彼を畏れしむる者なかるべし
Therefore don’t be afraid, O Jacob my servant, says the LORD. Don’t be dismayed, Israel. For, behold, I will save you from afar, and save your offspring from the land of their captivity. Jacob will return, and will be quiet and at ease. No one will make him afraid.
11 ヱホバいふ我汝と偕にありて汝を救はん設令われ汝を散せし國々を悉く滅しつくすとも汝をば滅しつくさじされど我道をもて汝を懲さん汝を全たく罰せずにはおかざるべし
For I am with you, says the LORD, to save you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not make a full end of you; but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.”
12 ヱホバかくいふ汝の創は愈ず汝の傷は重し
For the LORD says, “Your hurt is incurable. Your wound is grievous.
13 汝の訟を理す者なく汝の創を裹む膏藥あらず
There is no one to plead your cause, that you may be bound up. You have no healing medicines.
14 汝の愛する者は皆汝を忘れて汝を求めず是汝の愆の多きと罪の數多なるによりて我仇敵の撃がごとく汝を撃ち嚴く汝を懲せばなり
All your lovers have forgotten you. They don’t seek you. For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins were increased.
15 何ぞ汝の創のために叫ぶや汝の患は愈ることなし汝の愆の多きと罪の數多なるによりて我これを汝になすなり
Why do you cry over your injury? Your pain is incurable. For the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins have increased, I have done these things to you.
16 然どすべて汝を食ふ者は食はれすべて汝を虐ぐる者は皆とらはれ汝を掠むる者は掠められん凡て汝の物を奪ふ者は我これをして奪はるる事にあはしむべし
Therefore all those who devour you will be devoured. All your adversaries, everyone of them, will go into captivity. Those who plunder you will be plunder. I will make all who prey on you become prey.
17 ヱホバいふ我汝に膏藥を貼り汝の傷を醫さんそは人汝を棄られし者とよび尋る者なきシオンといへばなり
For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds,” says the LORD, “because they have called you an outcast, saying, ‘It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.’”
18 ヱホバかくいふ視よわれかの擄移されたるヤコブの天幕をかへし其住居をあはれまん斯邑はその故の丘垤に建られん城には宜き樣に人住はん
The LORD says: “Behold, I will reverse the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have compassion on his dwelling places. The city will be built on its own hill, and the palace will be inhabited in its own place.
19 感謝と歡樂者の聲とその中よりいでん我かれらを增ん彼ら少からじ我彼らを崇せん彼ら藐められじ
Thanksgiving will proceed out of them with the voice of those who make merry. I will multiply them, and they will not be few; I will also glorify them, and they will not be small.
20 其子は疇昔のごとくあらん其集會は我前に固く立ん凡かれを虐ぐる者は我これを罰せん
Their children also will be as before, and their congregation will be established before me. I will punish all who oppress them.
21 其首領は本族よりいで其督者はその中よりいでん我彼をちかづけ彼に近かん誰かその生命を繋て我に近くものあらんやとヱホバいふ
Their prince will be one of them, and their ruler will proceed from amongst them. I will cause him to draw near, and he will approach me; for who is he who has had boldness to approach me?” says the LORD.
22 汝等は我民となり我は汝らの神とならん
“You shall be my people, and I will be your God.
23 みよヱホバの暴風あり怒と旋轉風いでて惡人の首をうたん
Behold, the LORD’s storm, his wrath, has gone out, a sweeping storm; it will burst on the head of the wicked.
24 ヱホバの烈き忿はかれがその心の思を行ひてこれを遂るまでは息じ末の日に汝ら明にこれを曉らん
The fierce anger of the LORD will not return until he has accomplished, and until he has performed the intentions of his heart. In the latter days you will understand it.”
