Lamentations of Jeremiah

Japanese: エレミヤ哀歌 - エレミヤあいか(英語表記)Lamentations of Jeremiah
Lamentations of Jeremiah
A book in the Old Testament. Since the Greek translation (Septuagint), it has been called Lamentations and placed after the Book of Jeremiah, but in the Hebrew Scriptures it is simply called Lamentations and placed in the third part of the Old Testament. The connection of Lamentations with Jeremiah is thought to be due to the passage in 2 Chronicles 35:25. However, the book is centered on a lament sung immediately after the fall of Jerusalem in 586 BCE, and its author is unknown.

Japanese:
旧約聖書中の一書。ギリシア語訳(《七十人訳聖書》)以来,《エレミヤ哀歌》と呼ばれ,《エレミヤ書》の後に置かれるようになったが,ヘブライ語聖書では,ただ《哀歌》と呼ばれ,旧約聖書の第3部に置かれている。《哀歌》がエレミヤと結びつけられたのは,《歴代志》下35章25節の記事によるものと思われる。しかしその内容は,前586年におけるエルサレム陥落の直後に歌われた〈嘆きの歌〉が中心であり,作者は不明である。
