Jeremiah Capitolo 43

1

Jeremiah 43:1

Apri passaggio

日本語

これらの隊長たちは、一貫してエレミヤの助言に抵抗し、ゼデキヤを迷わせてきた一派に属する者たちであった。しかし今や、事の成り行きが預言者の助言は賢明で真実であったことを証明したため、彼らは面目上彼をとがめることができず、彼が、カルデア人に身を売り、民に害を及ぼすことだけを求めている裏切り者バルクの影響下にあると主張するのである。

Originale inglese

These captains belonged to the party who had all along resisted Jeremiah's counsels, and had led Zedekiah astray. Now however that events had proved that the prophet's counsels had been wise and true, they cannot for shame find fault with him, but they affirm that he is under the influence of Baruch, a traitor who has sold himself to the Chaldaeans, and seeks only the hurt of the people.

Jeremiah 43:4

Apri passaggio

日本語

「すべての民が」――それにもかかわらず、多くの者は心ならぬ協力者であったろう。良心の拘束を知らない指導者たちが共同体に強制的に課したことを、やむを得ず行わされたのである。

Originale inglese

All the people - Many, nevertheless, would be unwilling agents, compelled to do what their unscrupulous leaders forced upon the community.

5

Jeremiah 43:5

Apri passaggio

日本語

「帰って来たユダの残りの者はみな」――このような訳で、この地が完全に無人とされるということが成し遂げられた。こうしてエレミヤ24:8-10の預言は実現し、国民の唯一の希望は今や、バビロンにいる捕囚の民に集中することになった(エレミヤ24:5-7)。

Originale inglese

All the remnant of Judah that were returned - In this way, the utter depopulation of the land was completed. Thus was fulfilled the predictions of Jeremiah 24:8-10, and the sole hope of the nation now centered in the exiles at Babylon Jeremiah 24:5-7.

7

Jeremiah 43:7

Apri passaggio

日本語

タフパンヘス――Jeremiah 2:16の注解を参照。

Originale inglese

Tahpanhes - See the Jeremiah 2:16 note.

8

Jeremiah 43:8

Apri passaggio

日本語

エジプトの国境に到着すると、隊長たちは、王の許可を得てその国に入るために立ち止まらざるを得なかったであろう。そこでエレミヤはこの機会をとらえて、第一にエジプトの没落を、第二に偽りの神々の没落を預言するのである。

Originale inglese

On arriving at the frontiers of Egypt, the captains would be compelled to halt in order to obtain the king's permission to enter his country. Jeremiah therefore takes the opportunity to predict, first, the downfall of Egypt; and secondly, that of the false gods.

9

Jeremiah 43:9

Apri passaggio

日本語

「れんがの炉」――おそらく、れんが敷きの地面のことであろう。エレミヤは、いくつかの大きな石――とはいえ手に持って運べるほどのもの――を取り、それをもって、王宮の前のプロピレア(玄関広場)に、王座が通常置かれた台座を表すのに役立つものを築くようにとされた。「粘土の中にそれを隠す」とは、それらの石を漆喰で塗り込めることを意味する。

Originale inglese

Brickkiln - Possibly, a pavement of brick. Jeremiah was to take a few large stones, such, nevertheless, as he could carry in his hand, and build with them, in the propylaea before the royal palace, something that would serve to represent the dais upon which the seat of kings was usually placed. By hiding them in the clay is meant plastering them over with mortar.

10

Jeremiah 43:10

Apri passaggio

日本語

「わたしのしもべ」――エレミヤ 25:9 の注釈を見よ。

「わたしが隠したもの」――すなわち、わたしの預言者を用いて漆喰の中に埋め込んだもののことである。

「天幕」――むしろ「天蓋」。おそらく王の頭上に差しかける日傘のことであり、それは高く太い柄を両手で握るもので、初期の時代にはやや小さな円形の天蓋がついていた。

Originale inglese

My servant - See Jeremiah 25:9 note.

That I have hid - i. e., that I have embedded in the mortar by the instrumentality of my prophet.

Pavilion - Rather, canopy. It probably means the parasol held over kings, which had a tall and thick pole, grasped with both hands, and in the early times a somewhat small circular top.

11

Jeremiah 43:11

Apri passaggio

日本語

各人はその運命に従って、飢饉、疫病、あるいは戦闘によって死ぬか、捕囚として連れて行かれるか、あるいは処刑人の手によって殺されるのである。

Originale inglese

According to each man's destiny, he will either die of famine, pestilence, or in battle; or he will be led captive; or be put to death by the executioner.

12

Jeremiah 43:12

Apri passaggio

日本語

「わたしは火を放つ」――あるいは「彼は火を放つ」。

「彼はそれらを焼き…」――すなわち、彼は神殿を焼き、神々を運び去る。

「彼は身にまとう」――文字どおりには「羊飼いが自分の上着を身にまとうように、彼はエジプトの地を身にまとい、(そこから安然と出て行く)」である。すなわち、羊飼いが夜、野で羊の群れを見守るために出て行くとき、上着をひとまといにするのと同じくらい容易く、バビロンの王はエジプトのすべての栄光を手に入れ、それを身にまとい、誰ひとりその進軍を妨げることなく立ち去るのである。

Originale inglese

I will kindle - Or, "he shall kindle."

He shall burn them ... - i. e., he shall burn the temples, and carry away the gods.

And he shall array - literally, "And he shall wrap himself in the land of Egypt as the shepherd wrappeth himself in his cloak, and shall (go forth thence in peace;" i. e., With as great ease as a shepherd throws his cloak round him when going forth to watch his flock by night in the field, so easily shall the king of Babylon take possession of all the glory of Egypt, throw it round him, and depart without anyone resisting his progress.

13

Jeremiah 43:13

Apri passaggio

日本語

「像」――むしろ「柱」、すなわち方尖碑である(イザヤ 19:19 の注釈と比較せよ)。

「ベテ・シェメシュ」――ヘリオポリスのことである。方尖碑で名高かった所である。

Originale inglese

Images - Rather, pillars (compare the Isaiah 19:19 note), obelisks.

Beth-shemesh - Heliopolis, famous for its obelisks.
