| 19-1 |
Thus said Jehovah, Go, and buy a potter’s earthen bottle, and take of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests; |
主はこう言われる、「行って、陶器師のびんを買い、民の長老と年長の祭司のうちの数人を伴って、 |
| 19-2 |
and 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; |
瀬戸かけの門の入口にあるベンヒンノムの谷へ行き、その所で、わたしがあなたに語る言葉をのべて、 |
| 19-3 |
and say, Hear ye the word of Jehovah, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem: thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle. |
言いなさい、『ユダの王たち、およびエルサレムに住む者よ、主の言葉を聞きなさい。万軍の主、イスラエルの神はこう仰せられる、見よ、わたしは災をこの所に下す。おおよそ、その災のことを聞くものの耳は両方とも鳴る。 |
| 19-4 |
Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, that they knew not, they and their fathers and the kings of Judah; and have filled this place with the blood of innocents, |
彼らがわたしを捨て、この所を汚し、この所で、自分も先祖たちもユダの王たちも知らなかった他の神々に香をたき、かつ罪のない者の血を、この所に満たしたからである。 |
| 19-5 |
and have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire for burnt-offerings unto Baal; which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind: |
また彼らはバアルのために高き所を築き、火をもって自分の子どもたちを焼き、燔祭としてバアルにささげた。これはわたしの命じたことではなく、定めたことでもなく、また思いもしなかったことである。 |
| 19-6 |
therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter. |
主は言われる、それゆえ、見よ、この所をトペテまたはベンヒンノムの谷と呼ばないで、虐殺の谷と呼ぶ日がくる。 |
| 19-7 |
And 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 dead bodies will I give to be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth. |
またわたしはこの所でユダとエルサレムの計りごとを打ち破り、つるぎをもって、彼らをその敵の前と、そのいのちを求める者の手に倒れさせ、またその死体を空の鳥と地の獣の食い物とし、 |
| 19-8 |
And 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. |
かつ、この町を荒れすたれさせて、人に舌打ちされるものとする。そこを通る人は皆そのもろもろの災を見て身震いし、舌打ちする。 |
| 19-9 |
And 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 distress, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their life, shall distress them. |
また彼らがその敵とその命を求める者とに囲まれて苦しみ悩む時、わたしは彼らに自分のむすこの肉、娘の肉を食べさせる。彼らはまた互にその友の肉を食べるようになる』。 |
| 19-10 |
Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee, |
そこで、あなたは、一緒に行く人々の目の前で、そのびんを砕き、 |
| 19-11 |
and shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah 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, till there be no place to bury. |
そして彼らに言いなさい、『万軍の主はこう仰せられる、陶器師の器をひとたび砕くならば、もはやもとのようにすることはできない。このようにわたしはこの民とこの町とを砕く。人々はほかに葬るべき場所がないために、トペテに葬るであろう。 |
| 19-12 |
Thus will I do unto this place, saith Jehovah, and to the inhabitants thereof, even making this city as Topheth: |
主は仰せられる、わたしはこの所と、ここに住む者とにこのようにし、この町をトペテのようにする。 |
| 19-13 |
and 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 burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink-offerings unto other gods. |
エルサレムの家とユダの王たちの家、すなわち彼らがその屋上で天の衆群に香をたき、ほかの神々に酒を注いだ家は、皆トペテの所のように汚される』」。 |
| 19-14 |
Then came Jeremiah from Topheth, whither Jehovah had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of Jehovah’s house, and said to all the people: |
エレミヤは主が彼をつかわして預言させられたトペテから帰ってきて、主の家の庭に立ち、すべての民に言った、 |
| 19-15 |
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon 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. |
「万軍の主、イスラエルの神はこう仰せられる、見よ、わたしは、この町とそのすべての村々に、わたしの言ったもろもろの災を下す。彼らが強情で、わたしの言葉に聞き従おうとしないからである」。 |
