1主はこう言われた。「行って、陶器師の作った土の壺を買い、民の長老たちと祭司の長老たちの中から何人かを連れて行け。
1Thus said the LORD: Go, and get a potter's earthen bottle, and take of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests;
2ハルシトの門の入口のそばにあるベン・ヒノムの谷へ出て行き、そこで、わたしがあなたに告げる言葉を宣言せよ。
2and go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the gate Harsith, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee;
3こう言え。『ユダの王たちとエルサレムの住民よ、主の言葉を聞け。イスラエルの神、万軍の主はこう言われる。「見よ、わたしはこの場所に災いをもたらす。それを聞く者は皆、耳が鳴る。
3and say: Hear ye the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle;
4彼らはわたしを捨て、この場所を汚し、自分たちも父祖たちもユダの王たちも知らなかったほかの神々に、ここで香をたいた。また、この場所を罪のない者の血で満たした。
4because they have forsaken Me, and have estranged this place, and have offered in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah; and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;
5彼らはバアルの高き所を築き、自分たちの子どもたちを火で焼いて、バアルへの全焼のささげ物とした。それは、わたしが命じたことでも、語ったことでもなく、わたしの心に思い浮かびもしなかった。
5and have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire for burnt-offerings unto Baal; which I commanded not, nor spoke it, neither came it into My mind.
6それゆえ、見よ、この場所がもはや『トフェテ』とも『ベン・ヒノムの谷』とも呼ばれず、『虐殺の谷』と呼ばれる日々が来る」と、主は言われる。
6Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter;
7「わたしはこの場所で、ユダとエルサレムの計画をくじく。彼らを敵の前で剣に倒れさせ、彼らの命を狙う者たちの手に渡す。彼らの死体を空の鳥と地の動物の餌とする。
7and I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of them that seek their life; and their carcasses will I give to be food for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth;
8わたしはこの町を驚きの的、あざけりの的とする。そこを通る者は皆、そのすべての災いに驚き、あざける。
8and I will make this city an astonishment, and a hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof;
9わたしは彼らに自分の息子の肉と娘の肉を食べさせる。敵と、彼らの命を狙う者たちが彼らを追い詰める包囲と苦難の中で、彼らは互いに友の肉を食べる。」』
9and I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their life, shall straiten them.
10それから、あなたと一緒に行く者たちの目の前で、その器を砕け。
10Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee,
11彼らにこう言え。『万軍の主はこう言われる。「陶器師の器を砕けば、もはや元に戻せないように、わたしはこの民とこの町を砕く。人々は葬る場所がなくなるまで、トフェテに死者を葬る。
11and shalt say unto them: Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again; and they shall bury in Topheth, for want of room to bury.
12わたしはこの場所とその住民にこのように行い、この町をトフェテのようにする」と、主は言われる。
12Thus will I do unto this place, saith the LORD, and to the inhabitants thereof, even making this city as Topheth;
13「エルサレムの家々とユダの王たちの家々、すなわち、屋上で天の万象に香をたき、ほかの神々に注ぎのささげ物を注いだために汚されたすべての家は、トフェテの場所のようになる。」』」
13and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, shall be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses upon whose roofs they have offered unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink-offerings unto other gods.
14エレミヤは、主に遣わされて預言したトフェテから帰り、主の家の庭に立って、すべての民に言った。
14Then came Jeremiah from Topheth, whither the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD'S house, and said to all the people:
15「イスラエルの神、万軍の主はこう言われる。『見よ、わたしはこの町と、その周囲のすべての町々に、わたしが告げた災いをすべてもたらす。彼らがうなじを堅くし、わたしの言葉を聞こうとしなかったからだ。』」
15'Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it; because they have made their neck stiff, that they might not hear My words.'
