エレミヤ書 43

1 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

Then it happened that, when Jeremiah had finished speaking all the words of the Lord their God to the people, all those words concerning which the Lord their God had sent him to them,

2 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

Azariah, the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the exalted men, spoke to Jeremiah, saying: “You are speaking a lie! The Lord our God has not sent you to say: ‘You shall not enter into Egypt so as to live in that place.’

3 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

Instead, Baruch, the son of Neriah, has incited you against us, so as to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, to put us to death and to cause us to be led away into Babylon.”

4 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

And so Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the warriors, and all the people, did not heed the voice of the Lord to remain in the land of Judah.

5 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

But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the warriors, took away all the remnant of Judah, who had returned from all the nations (to which they had been scattered before) to live in the land of Judah:

6 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

men, and women, and children, and the daughters of the king, and every soul that Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, had left behind with Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, as well as Jeremiah, the prophet, and Baruch, the son of Neriah.

7 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

And they entered into the land of Egypt. For they did not obey the voice of the Lord. And they went as far as Tahpanhes.

8 ヱホバの言タパネスにてヱレミヤに臨みていふ

And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes, saying:

9 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

“Take great stones in your hand, and you shall conceal them in the crypt which is under the brick wall at the gate of the house of Pharaoh at Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah.

10 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

And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send for and take Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will set his throne over these stones which I have concealed, and he will establish his throne upon them.

11 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

And he will come and strike the land of Egypt: those who are meant for death, shall go to death, and those for captivity, to captivity, and those for the sword, to the sword.

12 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

And he will kindle a fire in the shrines of the gods of Egypt, and he will burn them down, and he will lead them away captive. And he will clothe himself with the land of Egypt, just as a shepherd is clothed with his cloak. And he will go forth from that place in peace.

13 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

And he will crush the statues of the house of the Sun, those that are in the land of Egypt, and the shrines of the gods of Egypt he will burn up with fire.”
