エレミヤ書 51
1 ヱホバかくいひたまふ視よわれ滅すところの風を起してバビロンを攻め我に悖る者の中に住む者を攻べし
Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise against me, a destroying wind;
2 われ簸者をバビロンに遣さん彼らこれを簸てその地を空くせん彼らすなはちその禍の日にこれを四方より攻むべし
And will send to Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her on all sides.
3 弓を張る者に向ひまた鎧を被て立あがる者に向ひて射者の者其弓を張らん汝らその壯者を憫れまず其軍勢を悉く滅すべし
Against [him that] bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against [him that] lifteth himself up in his coat of mail: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host.
4 然ば殺さるる者カルデヤ人の地に踣れ刺るる者その街に踣れん
Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and [they that are] thrust through in her streets.
5 イスラエルとユダはその神萬軍のヱホバに棄てられず彼らの地にはイスラエルの至聖者にむかひて犯せるところの罪充つ
For Israel [hath] not [been] forsaken, nor Judah by his God, by the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.
6 汝らバビロンのうちより逃げいでておのおの其生命をすくへ其の罪のために滅さるる勿れ今はヱホバの仇をかへしたまふ時なれば報をそれになしたまふなり
Flee from the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this [is] the time of the LORD'S vengeance; he will render to her a recompense.
7 バビロンは金の杯にしてヱホバの手にあり諸の地を醉せたり國々その酒を飮めり是をもて國々狂へり
Babylon [hath been] a golden cup in the LORD'S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drank of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
8 バビロンは忽ち踣れて壞る之がために哭けその傷のために乳香をとれ是或は愈ん
Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, it may be she may be healed.
9 われらバビロンを醫さんとすれども愈ず我らこれをすてて各その國に歸るべしそはその罰天におよび雲にいたればなり
We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth to heaven, and is lifted [even] to the skies.
10 ヱホバわれらの義をあらはしたまふ來れシオンに於て我らの神ヱホバの作爲をのべん
The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.
11 矢を磨ぎ楯を取れヱホバ、メデア人の王等の心を激發したまふヱホバ、バビロンをせめんと謀り之を滅さんとしたまふ是ヱホバの復仇その殿の復仇たるなり
Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the LORD hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his purpose [is] against Babylon, to destroy it; because it [is] the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple.
12 バビロンの石垣に向ひて纛を樹て圍を堅くし番兵を設け伏兵をそなへよ蓋ヱホバ、バビロンに住める者をせめんとて謀りその言しごとく行ひたまへばなり
Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD hath both devised and done that which he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.
13 おほくの水の傍に住み多くの財寶をもてる者よ汝の終汝の貧婪の限來れり
O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thy end is come, [and] the measure of thy covetousness.
14 萬軍のヱホバおのれを指して誓ひいひ給ふ我まことに人を蝗のごとくに汝の中に充さん彼ら汝に向ひて鯨波の聲を揚ぐべし
The LORD of hosts hath sworn by himself, [saying], Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillars; and they shall raise a shout against thee.
15 ヱホバその能力をもて地をつくり其知慧をもて世界を建てその明哲をもて天を舒たまへり
He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding.
16 彼聲を發したまふ時は天に衆の水いづかれ雲を地の極より起らしめ電光と雨をおこし風をその庫よりいだしたまふ
When he uttereth [his] voice, [there is] a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
17 すべての人は獸のごとくにして智慧なし諸の鑄物師はその作りし像のために辱を取る其鑄るところの像は僞の者にしてその中に靈なし
Every man is brutish by [his] knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image [is] falsehood, and [there is] no breath in them.
18 其等は空しき者にして迷妄の工作なりわが臨むとき其等は滅べし
They [are] vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
19 ヤコブの分は此の如くならず彼は萬物およびその產業の族の造化主なりその名は萬軍のヱホバといふ
The portion of Jacob [is] not like them; for he [is] the former of all things: and [Israel is] the rod of his inheritance: the LORD of hosts [is] his name.
20 汝はわが鎚にして戰の器具なりわれ汝をもて諸の邦を碎き汝をもて萬國を滅さん
Thou [art] my battle-ax [and] weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;
21 われ汝をもて馬とその騎る者を摧き汝をもて車とその御する者を碎かん
And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and its rider;
22 われ汝をもて男と女をくだき汝をもて老たる者と幼き者をくだき汝をもて壯者と童女をくだくべし
With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;
23 われ汝をもて牧者とその群をくだき汝をもて農夫とその軛を負ふ牛をくだき汝をもて方伯等と督宰等をくだかん
I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers.
24 汝らの目の前にて我バビロンとカルデヤに住るすべての者がシオンになせし諸の惡きことに報いんとヱホバいひたまふ
And I will render to Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the LORD.
25 ヱホバ言ひたまはく全地を滅したる滅す山よ視よわれ汝の敵となるわれ手を汝の上に伸て汝を巖より轉ばし汝を焚山となすべし
Behold, I [am] against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.
26 ヱホバいひたまふ人汝より石を取て隅石となすことあらじ亦汝より石を取りて基礎となすことあらじ汝はいつまでも荒地となりをらん
And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the LORD.
27 纛を地に樹て箛を國々の中に吹き國々の民をあつめて之を攻めアララテ、ミンニ、アシケナズの諸國を招きて之を攻め軍長をたてて之を攻め恐しき蝗のごとくに馬をすすめよ
Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillars.
28 國々の民をあつめて之を攻めメデア人の王等とその方伯等とその督宰等およびそのすべての領地の人をあつめて之を攻めよ
Prepare against her the nations with the kings of Media, her captains, and all her rulers, and all the land of his dominion.
29 地は震ひ搖かんそはヱホバその意旨をバビロンになしバビロンの地をして住む人なき荒地とならしめたまふべければなり
And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant.
30 バビロンの勇者は戰をやめて其城にこもりその力失せて婦のごとくにならん其宅は燒けその門閂は折れん
The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they have remained in [their] holds: their might hath failed; they became as women: they have burned her dwelling-places; her bars are broken.
31 馹は趨て馹にあひ使者は趨て使者にあひバビロンの王につげて邑は盡く取られ
One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken at [one] end,
32 渡口は取られ沼は燒れ兵卒は怖るといはん
And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
33 萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神かくいひたまふバビロンの女は禾場のごとしその踏るる時きたれり暫くありてその苅るる時いたらん
For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon [is] like a threshing-floor, [it is] time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.
34 バビロンの王ネブカデネザル我を食ひ我を滅し我を空き器のごとくなし龍の如くに我を呑みわが珍饈をもて其腹を充し我を逐出せり
Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out.
35 シオンに住る者いはんわがうけし虐遇と我肉はバビロンにかかるべしヱルサレムいはん我血はカルデヤに住める者にかかるべしと
The violence done to me and to my flesh [be] upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
36 さればヱホバかくいひたまふ視よわれ汝の訟を理し汝の爲に仇を復さん我その海を涸かし其泉を乾かすべし
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry.
37 バビロンは頽壘となり山犬の巢窟となり詫異となり嗤笑となり人なき所とならん
And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling-place for dragons, an astonishment, and a hissing, without an inhabitant.
38 彼らは獅子のごとく共に吼え小獅のごとくに吼ゆ
They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions' whelps.
39 彼らの慾の燃る時にわれ筵を設けてかれらを醉せ彼らをして喜ばしめながき寢にいりて目を醒すことなからしめんとヱホバいひたまふ
In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the LORD.
40 われ屠る羔羊のごとく又牡羊と牡山羊のごとくにかれらをくだらしめん
I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he-goats.

42 海バビロンに溢れかかりその多くの波濤これを覆ふ
The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of its waves.
43 その諸邑は荒れて燥ける地となり沙漠となり住む人なき地とならん人の子そこを過ることあらじ
Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land in which no man dwelleth, neither doth [any] son of man pass by it.
44 われベルをバビロンに罰しその呑みたる者を口より取出さん國々はまた川の如くに彼に來らじバビロンの石垣踣れん
And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed: and the nations shall not flow together any more to him: even the wall of Babylon shall fall.
45 我民よ汝らその中よりいで各ヱホバの烈しき怒をまぬかれてその命を救へ
My people, depart from the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.
46 汝ら心を弱くする勿れ此地にてきく所の浮言によりて畏るる勿れ浮言は此年も來り次の年も亦きたらん此地に强暴あり宰者と宰者とあひ攻むることあらん
And lest your heart should faint, and ye should fear for the rumor that shall be heard in the land; a rumor shall both come [one] year, and after that in [another] year [shall come] a rumor, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
47 故に視よ我バビロンの偶像を罰する日來らんその全地は辱められ其殺さるる者は悉くその中に踣れん
Therefore behold, the days come, that I will do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
48 然して天と地とその中にあるところのすべての者はバビロンの事の爲に歡び歌はんそは敗壞者北の方より此處に來ればなりヱホバこれをいひたまふ
Then the heaven and the earth, and all that [is] in them, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come to her from the north, saith the LORD.
49 バビロンがイスラエルの殺さるる者を踣せし如く全地の殺さるる者バビロンに踣るべし
As Babylon [hath caused] the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
50 劍を逃るる者よ往け止る勿れ遠方よりヱホバを憶えヱルサレムを汝らの心に置くべし
Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
51 罵言をきくによりて我ら羞づ異邦人ヱホバの室の聖處にいるによりて我らの面には羞恥盈つ
We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD'S house.
52 この故にヱホバいひたまふ視よわがその偶像を罰する日いたらん傷けられたる者はその全國に呻吟べし
Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will do judgment upon her graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall groan.
53 たとひバビロン天に昇るとも其城を高くして堅むるとも敗壞者我よりいでて彼らにいたらんとヱホバいひたまふ
Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the hight of her strength, [yet] from me shall spoilers come to her, saith the LORD.
54 バビロンに號咷の聲ありカルデヤ人の地に大なる敗壞あり
A sound of a cry [cometh] from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:
55 ヱホバ、バビロンをほろぼし其中に大なる聲を絕したまふ其波濤は巨水のごとくに鳴りその聲は響わたる
Because the LORD hath laid waste Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:
56 破滅者これに臨みバビロンにいたる其勇士は執へられ其弓は折らるヱホバは施報をなす神なればかならず報いたまふなり
Because the spoiler is come upon her, [even] upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the Lord GOD of recompenses shall surely requite.
57 われその牧伯等と博士等と督宰等と勇士とを醉せん彼らは永き寢にいりて目を醒すことあらじ萬軍のヱホバと名くる王これをいひ給ふ
And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise [men], her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the king, whose name [is] the LORD of hosts.
58 萬軍のヱホバかくいひたまふバビロンの闊き石垣は悉く毀たれその高き門は火に焚れん斯民の勞苦は徒となるべし民は火のために憊れん
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labor in vain, and the people in the fire, and they shall be weary.
59 これマアセヤの子なるネリヤの子セラヤがユダの王ゼデキヤとともに其治世の四年にバビロンに往くときにあたりて豫言者ヱレミヤがこれに命ぜし言なりこのセラヤは侍從の長なり
The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And [this] Seraiah [was] a quiet prince.
60 ヱレミヤ、バビロンにのぞまんとする諸の災を書にしるせり是即ちバビロンの事につきて錄せる此すべての言なり
So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, [even] all these words that are written against Babylon.
61 ヱレミヤ、セラヤにいひけるは汝バビロンに往しとき愼みてこの諸の言を讀め
And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou shalt come to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words;
62 而して汝いふべしヱホバよ汝はこの處を滅し人と畜をいはず凡て此處に住む者なからしめて窮なくこれを荒地となさんと此處にむかひていひたまへり
Then shalt thou say, O LORD, thou hast spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
63 汝この書を讀畢りしとき之に石をむすびつけてユフラテの中に投いれよ
And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, [that] thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates:
64 而していふべしバビロンは我これに災菑をくだすによりて是しづみて復おこらざるべし彼らは絕はてんと／此まではヱレミヤの言なり
And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far [are] the words of Jeremiah.
