Ezekiel 14
1 Then certain of the elders of Israel came to me, and sat before me.
爰にイスラエルの長老の中の人々我にきたりて吾前に坐しけるに
2 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
ヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ
3 Son of man, these men have taken their idols into their heart, and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face. Should I be inquired of at all by them?
人の子よこの人々はその偶像を心の中に立しめ罪に陷いるるところの障礙をその面の前に置なり我あに是等の者の求を容べけんや
4 Therefore speak to them, and say to them, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Every man of the house of Israel who takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet, I Jehovah will answer him in it according to the multitude of his idols,
然ば汝かれらに告げて言ふべし主ヱホバかくいひたまふ凡そイスラエルの家の人のその心の中に偶像を立しめその面のまへに罪に陷いるるところの障礙を置きて預言者に來る者には我ヱホバその偶像の多衆にしたがひて應をなすべし
5 that I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
斯して我イスラエルの家の人の心を執へん是かれら皆その偶像のために我を離れたればなり
6 Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the lord Jehovah: Return ye, and turn yourselves from your idols, and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
是故にイスラエルの家に言ふべし主ヱホバかくいひたまふ汝等悔い汝らの偶像を棄てはなるべし汝等面を回らしてその諸の憎むべき物を離れよ
7 For everyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn in Israel, that separates himself from me, and takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet to inquire for himself of me, I Jehovah will answer him by myself.
凡てイスラエルの家およびイスラエルに寓るところの外國人若われを離れてその偶像を心の中に立しめ其面の前に罪に陷るるところの障礙をおきて預言者に來りその心のままに我に求むる時は我ヱホバわが心のままにこれに應ふべし
8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make him an astonishment, for a sign and a proverb. And I will cut him off from the midst of my people. And ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
即ち我面をその人にむけこれを滅して兆象となし諺語となし之をわが民の中より絕さるべし汝等これによりて我がヱホバなるを知るにいたらん
9 And if the prophet is deceived and speaks a word, I, Jehovah, have deceived that prophet. And I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
もし預言者欺かれて言を出すことあらば我ヱホバその預言者を欺けるなり我かれの上にわが手を伸べ吾民イスラエルの中より彼を絕さらん
10 And they shall bear their iniquity. The iniquity of the prophet shall be even as the iniquity of him who seeks him,
彼等その罪を負ふべしその預言者の罪はかの問求むる者の罪のごとくなるべし
11 that the house of Israel may no more go astray from me, nor defile themselves any more with all their transgressions, but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, says the lord Jehovah.
是イスラエルの民をして重ねて我を離れて迷はざらしめ重ねてその諸の愆に汚れざらしめんため又かれらの吾民となり我の彼らの神とならんためなり主ヱホバこれをいふ
12 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ
13 Son of man, when a land sins against me by committing a trespass, and I stretch out my hand upon it, and break the staff of the bread thereof, and send famine upon it, and cut off from it man and beast,
人の子よ國もし悖れる事をおこなひて我に罪を犯すことあり我手をその上に伸て其杖とたのむところのパンを打碎き饑饉を之におくりて人と畜とをその中より絕ことある時には
14 though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, says the lord Jehovah.
其處にかのノア、ダニエル、ヨブの三人あるも只其義によりて己の生命を救ふことをうるのみなり主ヱホバこれをいふ
15 If I cause evil beasts to pass through the land, and they ravage it, and it be made desolate, so that no man may pass through because of the beasts,
我もし惡き獸を國に行めぐらしめて之を子なき處となし荒野となして其獸のために其處を通る者なきに至らん時には
16 though these three men were in it, as I live, says the lord Jehovah, they would deliver neither sons nor daughters, they only would be delivered, but the land would be desolate.
主ヱホバ言ふ我は活く此三人そこにをるもその子女を救ふことをえず只その身を救ふことを得るのみ國は荒野となるべし
17 Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land, so that I cut off from it man and beast,
又は我劍を國に臨ませて劍よ國を行めぐるべしと言ひ人と畜をそこより絕さらん時には
18 though these three men were in it, as I live, says the lord Jehovah, they would deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only would be delivered themselves.
主ヱホバいふ我は活く此三人そこにをるもその子女をすくふことをえず只その身をすくふことを得るのみ
19 Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my wrath upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast,
又われ疫病を國におくり血をもてわが怒をその上にそそぎ人と畜をそこより絕さらん時には
20 though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, says the lord Jehovah, they would deliver neither son nor daughter, they would but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
主ヱホバいふ我は活くノア、ダニエル、ヨブそこにをるもその子女を救ふことをえず只その義によりて己の生命を救ふことを得るのみ
21 For thus says the lord Jehovah: How much more when I send my four severe judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the evil beasts, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast!
主ヱホバかくいひたまふ然ばわが四箇の嚴しき罰すなはち劍と饑饉と惡き獸と疫病をヱルサレムにおくりて人と畜をそこより絕さらんとする時は如何にぞや
22 Yet, behold, there shall be left a remnant in it that shall be carried forth, both sons and daughters. Behold, they shall come forth to you, and ye shall see their way and their doings. And ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it.
其中に逃れて遺るところの男子女子あり彼等携へ去らるべし彼ら出ゆきて汝等の所にいたらん汝らかれらの行爲と擧動を見ば吾がヱルサレムに災をくだせし事につきて心をやすむるにいたるべし
23 And they shall comfort you when ye see their way and their doings. And ye shall know that I have not done all that I have done in it without cause, says the lord Jehovah.
汝ら彼らの行爲と擧動を見ばこれがためにその心をやすむるにいたりわがこれに爲たる事は皆故なくして爲たるにあらざるなるをしるにいたらん主ヱホバこれを言ふ
