1Thus said the LORD, “Go, and buy a potter’s earthen container, and take some of the elders of the people and of the elders of the priests;
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。
2and go out to the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the gate Harsith, and proclaim there the words that I will tell you.
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。
3Say, ‘Hear the LORD’s word, kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says, “Behold, I will bring evil on this place, which whoever hears, his ears will tingle.
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。
4Because they have forsaken me, and have defiled this place, and have burned incense in it to other gods that they didn’t know—they, their fathers, and the kings of Judah—and have filled this place with the blood of innocents,
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。
5and have built the high places of Baal to burn their children in the fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I didn’t command, nor speak, which didn’t even enter into my mind.
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。
6Therefore, behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that this place will no more be called ‘Topheth’, nor ‘The Valley of the son of Hinnom’, but ‘The valley of Slaughter’.
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。
7“‘“I will make the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem void in this place. I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those who seek their life. I will give their dead bodies to be food for the birds of the sky and for the animals of the earth.
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。
8I will make this city an astonishment and a hissing. Everyone who passes by it will be astonished and hiss because of all its plagues.
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。
9I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters. They will each eat the flesh of his friend in the siege and in the distress with which their enemies, and those who seek their life, will distress them.”’
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。」』
10“Then you shall break the container in the sight of the men who go with you,
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。
11and shall tell them, ‘The LORD of Armies says: “Even so I will break this people and this city as one breaks a potter’s vessel, that can’t be made whole again. They will bury in Topheth until there is no place to bury.
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。
12This is what I will do to this place,” says the LORD, “and to its inhabitants, even making this city as Topheth.
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。
13The houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, will be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses on whose roofs they have burned incense to all the army of the sky and have poured out drink offerings to other gods.”’”
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。」』」
14Then Jeremiah came from Topheth, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the court of the LORD’s house, and said to all the people:
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。
15“The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says, ‘Behold, I will bring on this city and on all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have made their neck stiff, that they may not hear my words.’”
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。』」
