< Ezekiel 21 >

1 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
ヱホバの言われにのぞみて言ふ
2 “Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and preach toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel.
人の子よ汝の面をヱルサレムに向け聖き處々にむかひて言を垂れイスラエルの地にむかひて預言し
3 Tell the land of Israel, ‘The LORD says: “Behold, I am against you, and will draw my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked.
イスラエルの地に言ふべしヱホバかく言ふ視よ我汝を責め吾刀を鞘より拔はなし義者と惡者とを汝の中より絕ん
4 Seeing then that I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked, therefore my sword will go out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north.
我義者と惡者とを汝の中より絕んとすればわが刀鞘より脱出て南より北までの凡て肉ある者を責ん
5 All flesh will know that I, the LORD, have drawn my sword out of its sheath. It will not return any more.”’
肉ある者みな我ヱホバのその刀を鞘より拔はなちしを知らん是は歸りをさまらざるべし
6 “Therefore sigh, you son of man. You shall sigh before their eyes with a broken heart and with bitterness.
人の子よ腰の碎くるまでに歎き彼らの目のまへにて痛く歎け
7 It shall be, when they ask you, ‘Why do you sigh?’ that you shall say, ‘Because of the news, for it comes! Every heart will melt, all hands will be feeble, every spirit will faint, and all knees will be weak as water. Behold, it comes, and it shall be done, says the Lord GOD.’”
人汝に何て歎くやと言ば汝言べし來るところの風聞のためなり心みな鎔け手みな痿え魂みな弱り膝みな水とならん視よ事いたれりかならず成ん主ヱホバこれを言ふ
8 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
ヱホバの言我にのぞみて言ふ
9 “Son of man, prophesy, and say, ‘The LORD says: “A sword! A sword! It is sharpened, and also polished.
人の子よ預言して言ふべしヱホバかく言ふ劍あり研ぎ且磨きたる劍あり
10 It is sharpened that it may make a slaughter. It is polished that it may be as lightning. Should we then make mirth? The rod of my son condemns every tree.
是は大に殺す事をなさんがために研てあり光り閃かんがために磨きてあり我子の杖は萬の樹を藐視ずとて我等喜ぶべけんや
11 It is given to be polished, that it may be handled. The sword is sharpened. Yes, it is polished to give it into the hand of the killer.”’
是を手に執んために與へて磨かしむ是劍は殺す者の手に付さんために之を研かつ磨かしむるなり
12 Cry and wail, son of man; for it is on my people. It is on all the princes of Israel. They are delivered over to the sword with my people. Therefore beat your thigh.
人の子よ叫び哭け其は是わが民の上に臨みイスラエルの諸の牧伯等の上に臨めばなり彼らはわが民とともに劍に仆る故に汝腿を撃べし
13 “For there is a trial. What if even the rod that condemns will be no more?” says the Lord GOD.
その試すでに成る若かの藐視ずるところの杖きたらずば如何ぞや主ヱホバこれを言ふ
14 “You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and strike your hands together. Let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the fatally wounded. It is the sword of the great one who is fatally wounded, which enters into their rooms.
人の子よ汝預言し手を拍べし劍人を刺透すところの劍三倍に働かん是は人を刺透し大なる者を殺すところの劍にして彼らを責る者なり
15 I have set the threatening sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied. Ah! It is made as lightning. It is pointed for slaughter.
彼らの心を鎔し礙く物を増んがために我拔身の劍をその諸の門に立つ嗚呼是は光ひらめき脱いでて人を殺さんとす
16 Gather yourselves together. Go to the right. Set yourselves in array. Go to the left, wherever your face is set.
汝合して右に向へ進んで左に向へ汝の刃の向ふところに隨ヘ
17 I will also strike my hands together, and I will cause my wrath to rest. I, the LORD, have spoken it.”
我また吾手を拍ちわが怒を靜めん我ヱホバこれを言ふなり
18 The LORD’s word came to me again, saying,
ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ
19 “Also, you son of man, appoint two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come. They both will come out of one land, and mark out a place. Mark it out at the head of the way to the city.
人の子よバビロンの王の劍の由て來るべき二の途を設けよ其二の途を一の國より出しめて道標の記號を畵き邑の途の首處にこれを畵くべし
20 You shall appoint a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified.
汝またアンモンの子孫のラバとユダの堅き城の邑ヱルサレムとに劍のきたるべき途を設けよ
21 For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination. He shook the arrows back and forth. He consulted the teraphim. He looked in the liver.
バビロンの王その道の首處その途の岐處に止りて占卜をなし箭を搖りテラピムに問ひ肝を察べをるなり
22 In his right hand was the lot for Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounds, and to build forts.
彼の右にヱルサレムといふ占卜いづ云く破城槌を備へ口をひらきて喊き殺し聲をあげて吶喊を作り門にむかひて破城槌を備へ壘をきづき雲梯を建べしと
23 It will be to them as a false divination in their sight, who have sworn oaths to them; but he brings iniquity to memory, that they may be taken.
是はかれらの目には虛僞の占考と見ゆ聖き誓言かれらに在ばなり然れども彼罪を憶ひおこさしむ即ちかれらは取るべし
24 “Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have caused your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear; because you have come to memory, you will be taken with the hand.
是故に主ヱホバかく言ふ汝ら旣にその罪を憶おこさしめて汝らの愆著明になりたれば汝らの罪その諸の行爲に顯る汝ら旣に憶いださるれば必ず手に執へらるべし
25 “‘You, deadly wounded wicked one, the prince of Israel, whose day has come, in the time of the iniquity of the end,
汝刺透さるる者罪人イスラエルの君主よ汝の罪その終を來らしめて汝の罰せらるる日至る
26 the Lord GOD says: “Remove the turban, and take off the crown. This will not be as it was. Exalt that which is low, and humble that which is high.
主ヱホバかく言ふ冕旒を去り冠冕を除り離せ是は是ならざるべし卑き者は高くせられ高き者は卑くせられん
27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn it. This also will be no more, until he comes whose right it is; and I will give it.”’
我顚覆をなし顚覆をなし顚覆を爲ん權威を持べき者の來る時まで是は有ことなし彼に我之を與ふ
28 “You, son of man, prophesy and say, ‘The Lord GOD says this concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach: “A sword! A sword is drawn! It is polished for the slaughter, to cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning;
人の子よ汝預言して言べし主ヱホバ、アンモンの子孫とその嘲笑につきて斯言ふと即ち汝言べし劍あり劍あり是殺すことのために拔てあり滅すことのために磨きありて光ひらめくなり
29 while they see for you false visions, while they divine lies to you, to lay you on the necks of the wicked who are deadly wounded, whose day has come in the time of the iniquity of the end.
人なんぢに虛淨を預言し汝に假僞の占考を示して汝をその殺さるる惡人の頸の上に置んとす彼らの罪その終を來らしめて彼らの罰せらるる日いたる
30 Cause it to return into its sheath. In the place where you were created, in the land of your birth, I will judge you.
これをその鞘にかへし納めよ汝の造られし處なんぢの生れし地にて我汝を鞫き
31 I will pour out my indignation on you. I will blow on you with the fire of my wrath. I will deliver you into the hand of brutish men, skillful to destroy.
わが怒を汝に斟ぎ吾憤恨の火を汝にむかひて燃し狂暴人滅すことに巧なる者の手に汝を付すべし
32 You will be for fuel to the fire. Your blood will be in the middle of the land. You will be remembered no more; for I, the LORD, have spoken it.”’”
汝は火の薪となり汝の血は國の中にあらん汝は重ねて憶えらるることなかるべし我ヱホバこれを言ばなり
