1The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, (when Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth, that were under the power of his hand, and all the people fought against Jerusalem and against all the cities thereof,) saying:
1バビロンの王ネブカドネザルが、その全軍、彼の支配下にある地のすべての王国、すべての民とともに、エルサレムとそのすべての町々を攻めていた時、主の言葉がエレミヤに臨んだ。
2Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Go, and speak to Sedecias king of Juda, and say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will deliver this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
2「イスラエルの神、主はこう言われる。『行って、ユダの王ゼデキヤに語り、こう告げよ。主はこう言われる。「見よ、わたしはこの町をバビロンの王の手に渡す。彼はこれを火で焼く。
3And thou shalt not escape out of his hand: but thou shalt surely be taken, and thou shalt be delivered into his hand: and thy eyes shall see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth shall speak with thy mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
3あなたは彼の手から逃れられず、必ず捕らえられ、その手に渡される。あなたはバビロンの王と顔を合わせ、彼はあなたと直接語る。あなたはバビロンへ行く。」』
4Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Sedecias king of Juda: Thus saith the Lord to thee: Thou shalt not die by the sword.
4しかし、ユダの王ゼデキヤよ、主の言葉を聞け。主はあなたについてこう言われる。『あなたは剣で死ぬことはない。
5But thou shalt die in peace, and according to the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings that were before thee, so shall they burn thee: and they shall mourn for thee, saying: Alas, Lord: for I have spoken the word, saith the Lord.
5あなたは平安のうちに死ぬ。あなたより前にいた先代の王である父祖たちのために火をたいたように、人々はあなたのためにも火をたく。そして、「ああ、主君よ」と、あなたのために嘆く。わたしがこの言葉を語ったからだ』と、主は言われる。」
6And Jeremias the prophet spoke all these words to Sedecias the king of Juda in Jerusalem.
6預言者エレミヤは、エルサレムでユダの王ゼデキヤにこれらすべての言葉を語った。
7And the army of the king of Babylon fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Juda that were left, against Lachis, and against Azecha: for these remained of the cities of Juda, fenced cities.
7その時、バビロンの王の軍隊は、エルサレムと、残っていたユダのすべての町々、すなわちラキシュとアゼカを攻めていた。ユダの町々のうち、城壁のある町として残っていたのは、この二つだけであった。
8The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, after that king Sedecias had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem making a proclamation:
8ゼデキヤ王がエルサレムにいるすべての民と契約を結び、彼らに解放を宣言した後、主からエレミヤに言葉が臨んだ。
9That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, go free: and that they should not lord it over them, to wit, over the Jews their brethren.
9それは、各自がヘブル人である男奴隷と女奴隷を自由にし、だれもユダヤ人である兄弟を奴隷として使ってはならないというものであった。
10And all the princes, and all the people who entered into the covenant, heard that every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant go free, and should no more have dominion over them: and they obeyed, and let them go free.
10この契約に加わったすべての高官とすべての民は、各自が男奴隷と女奴隷を自由にし、もはや彼らを奴隷として使わないという契約に従い、奴隷たちを自由にした。
11But afterwards they turned: and brought back again their servants and their handmaids, whom they had let go free, and brought them into subjection as menservants and maidservants.
11しかし、その後、彼らは心を変え、自由にした男奴隷と女奴隷を連れ戻し、再び奴隷として働かせた。
12And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying:
12そこで、主の言葉がエレミヤに臨んだ。
13Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying:
13「イスラエルの神、主はこう言われる。『わたしは、あなたがたの父祖をエジプトの地、奴隷の家から連れ出した日に、彼らと契約を結び、こう言った。
14At the end of seven years, let ye go every man his brother being a Hebrew, who hath been sold to thee, so he shall serve thee six years: and thou shalt let him go free from thee: and your fathers did not hearken to me, nor did they incline their ear.
14「七年の終わりに、あなたがたはそれぞれ、あなたに身を売り、六年間仕えたヘブル人の兄弟を解放しなければならない。彼をあなたのもとから自由に去らせよ。」しかし、あなたがたの父祖はわたしに聞き従わず、耳を傾けなかった。
15And you turned today, and did that which was right in my eyes, in proclaiming liberty every one to his brother: and you made a covenant in my sight, in the house upon which my name is invocated.
15あなたがたは今、立ち返って、各自が隣人に解放を宣言し、わたしの目に正しいことを行った。そして、わたしの名で呼ばれる家で、わたしの前に契約を結んだ。
16And you are fallen back, and have defiled my name: and you have brought back again every man his manservant, and every man his maidservant, whom you had let go free, and set at liberty: and you have brought them into subjection to be your servants and handmaids.
16しかし、あなたがたは再び心を変えて、わたしの名を汚した。各自が、自由に去らせた男奴隷と女奴隷を連れ戻し、再び自分たちの奴隷として働かせた。』」
17Therefore thus saith the Lord: You have not hearkened to me, in proclaiming liberty every man to his brother and every man to his friend: behold I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the Lord, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine: and I will cause you to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth.
17それゆえ、主はこう言われる。「あなたがたはわたしに聞き従わず、各自が兄弟と隣人に解放を宣言しなかった。見よ、わたしはあなたがたに自由を宣言する」と、主は言われる。「剣と疫病と飢饉に渡される自由を。わたしはあなたがたを地のすべての王国の間をさまよう者とする。
18And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, and have not performed the words of the covenant which they agreed to in my presence, when they cut the calf in two and passed between the parts thereof:
18わたしの契約に背き、わたしの前で結んだ契約の言葉を果たさなかった者たちを、わたしは引き渡す。彼らは子牛を二つに切り、その二つの部分の間を通った。
19The princes of Juda, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land that passed between the parts of the calf:
19ユダの高官たち、エルサレムの高官たち、宦官たち、祭司たち、この地のすべての民が、その子牛の二つの部分の間を通った。
20And I will give them into the hands of their enemies, and into the hands of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat to the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.
20わたしは彼らを敵の手と、彼らの命を狙う者たちの手に渡す。彼らの死体は空の鳥と地の動物の餌となる。
21And Sedecias the king of Juda, and his princes, I will give into the hands of their enemies, and into the hands of them that seek their lives, and into the hands of the armies of the king of Babylon, which are gone from you.
21わたしはユダの王ゼデキヤとその高官たちを、敵の手、彼らの命を狙う者たちの手、また、あなたがたのところから退いたバビロンの王の軍隊の手に渡す。
22Behold I will command, saith the Lord, and I will bring them again to this city, and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Juda a desolation, without an inhabitant.
22見よ、わたしは命じる」と、主は言われる。「彼らをこの町に戻らせる。彼らはこの町を攻め、占領し、火で焼く。わたしはユダの町々を荒れ果てさせ、住む者のない所とする。」
