< Ezekiel 23 >
1 The LORD’s word came again to me, saying,
ヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ
2 “Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother.
人の子よ爰に二人の婦女あり一人の母の女子なり
3 They played the prostitute in Egypt. They played the prostitute in their youth. Their breasts were fondled there, and their youthful nipples were caressed there.
彼等エジプトにおいて淫を行ひその少き時に淫を行へり即ち彼處において人かれらの乳を拈り彼處においてその處女の乳房に觸る
4 Their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister. They became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
その名は姊はアホラ妹はアホリバと云ふ彼ら我に歸して男子女子を生り彼らの本名はアホラはサマリヤと言ひアホリバはヱルサレムと云ふなり
5 “Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine. She doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors,
アホラは我有たる間に淫を行ひてその戀人等に焦れたり是すなはちその隣なるアツスリヤ人にして
6 who were clothed with blue—governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
紫の衣を着る者牧伯たる者督宰たる者なり是等は皆美麗き秀でたる人馬に乗る者なり
7 She gave herself as a prostitute to them, all of them the choicest men of Assyria. She defiled herself with the idols of whomever she lusted after.
彼凡てアツスリヤの秀でたる者と淫を行ひ且その焦れたる諸の者すなはちその諸の偶像をもてその身を汚せり
8 She has not left her prostitution since leaving Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her. They caressed her youthful nipples and they poured out their prostitution on her.
彼またエジプトよりの淫行を捨ざりき即ち彼の少き時に彼ら彼と寢ねその處女の乳房にさはりその淫慾を彼の身の上に洩せり
9 “Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians on whom she doted.
是故に我彼をその戀人の手に付しその焦れたるアツスリヤの子孫の手に付せり
10 These uncovered her nakedness. They took her sons and her daughters, and they killed her with the sword. She became a byword among women; for they executed judgments on her.
是に於て彼等かれの陰所を露しその子女を奪ひ劍をもて彼を殺して婦人の中にその名を聞えしめその身の上に鞫を行へり
11 “Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more corrupt in her lusting than she, and in her prostitution which was more depraved than the prostitution of her sister.
彼の妹アホリバこれを見彼よりも甚だしくその慾を縱恣にしその姊の淫行よりもましたる淫行をなし
12 She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and rulers—her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.
その隣なるアツスリヤの人々に戀焦れたり彼らはすなはち牧伯たる者 督宰たる者 華美に粧ひたる者 馬に騎る者にして皆美しき秀でたる者なり
13 I saw that she was defiled. They both went the same way.
我かれがその身を汚せしを見たり彼らは共に一の途をあゆめり
14 “She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with red,
彼その淫行を増り彼壁に彫つけたる人々を見たり是すなはち朱をもて壁に彫つけたるカルデヤ人の像にして
15 dressed with belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like princes, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.
腰には帶を結び首には垂さがれる帓巾を戴けり是等は皆君王たる者の形ありてその生れたる國なるカルデヤのバビロン人に似たり
16 As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them into Chaldea.
彼その目に是等を見てこれに戀焦れ使者をカルデヤにおくりて之にいたらしむ
17 The Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their prostitution. She was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.
是に於てバビロンの人々彼の許にきたりて戀の床に就きその淫行をもて彼を汚したりしが彼らにその身を汚さるるにおよびて彼その心にかれらを疎んず
18 So she uncovered her prostitution and uncovered her nakedness. Then my soul was alienated from her, just like my soul was alienated from her sister.
彼その淫行を露しその陰所を顯したれば我心彼を疎んず吾心かれの姊を疎んじたるがごとし
19 Yet she multiplied her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth, in which she had played the prostitute in the land of Egypt.
彼その淫行を増しその少き日にエジプトに於て淫をおこなひし事を憶え
20 She lusted after their lovers, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
彼らの戀人に焦るその人の肉は驢馬の肉のごとく其精は馬の精のごとし
21 Thus you called to memory the lewdness of your youth, in the caressing of your nipples by the Egyptians because of your youthful breasts.
汝は己の少き時にエジプト人が汝の處女の乳房のために汝の乳にさはりたる時の淫行を顧みるなり
22 “Therefore, Oholibah, the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will raise up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them against you on every side:
この故に主ヱホバかく言ふアホリバよ我汝が心に疎んずるに至りしところの戀人等を激して汝を攻しめ彼らをして四方より汝に攻きたらしむべし
23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, Shoa, Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; all of them desirable young men, governors and rulers, princes and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.
即ちバビロンの人々およびカルデヤの諸の人々ペコデ、シヨワ、コア並にアツスリヤの諸の人々美しき秀でたる人々牧伯等および督宰等 大君および名高き人 凡て馬に騎る者
24 They will come against you with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a company of peoples. They will set themselves against you with buckler, shield, and helmet all around. I will commit the judgment to them, and they will judge you according to their judgments.
鋒車および輪を持ち衆多の民をひきゐて汝に攻め來り大楯小楯および兜をそなへて四方より汝に攻かからん我裁判をかれらに委ぬべし彼らすなはち其律法によりて汝を鞫かん
25 I will set my jealousy against you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will take away your nose and your ears. Your remnant will fall by the sword. They will take your sons and your daughters; and the rest of you will be devoured by the fire.
我汝にむかひてわが嫉妬を發すれば彼ら怒をもて汝を待ひ汝の鼻と耳を切とるべし汝のうちの存れる者は劍に仆れん彼ら汝の子女を奪ふべし汝の中の殘れる者は火に燒ん
26 They will also strip you of your clothes and take away your beautiful jewels.
彼ら汝の衣を剝脱り汝の美しき妝飾を取べし
27 Thus I will make your lewdness to cease from you, and remove your prostitution from the land of Egypt, so that you will not lift up your eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more.’
我汝の淫行を除き汝がエジプトの地より行ひ來れるところの邪淫を除き汝をして重て彼らに目をつけざらしめ再びエジプトの事を憶はざらしめん
28 “For the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will deliver you into the hand of them whom you hate, into the hand of them from whom your soul is alienated.
主ヱホバかく言ふ視よ我汝が惡む者の手汝が心に疎ずる者の手に汝を付せば
29 They will deal with you in hatred, and will take away all your labor, and will leave you naked and bare. The nakedness of your prostitution will be uncovered, both your lewdness and your prostitution.
彼ら怨憎をもて汝を待ひ汝の得たる物を盡く取り汝を赤裸に成おくべし是をもて汝が淫をおこなヘる陰所露にならん汝の淫行と邪淫もしかり
30 These things will be done to you because you have played the prostitute after the nations, and because you are polluted with their idols.
汝異邦人を慕ひて淫をおこなひ彼らの偶像をもて身を汚したるに由て是等の事汝におよぶなり
31 You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your hand.’
汝その姊の途に歩みたれば我かれの杯を汝の手に交す
32 “The Lord GOD says: ‘You will drink of your sister’s cup, which is deep and large. You will be ridiculed and held in derision. It contains much.
主ヱホバかく言ふ汝その姊の深き大なる杯を飮べし是は笑と嘲を充す者なり
33 You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your sister Samaria.
醉と憂汝に滿ちん汝の姊サマリヤの杯は駭異と滅亡の杯なり
34 You will even drink it and drain it out. You will gnaw the broken pieces of it, and will tear your breasts; for I have spoken it,’ says the Lord GOD.
汝これを飮み乾しこれを吸つくしその碎片を咬み汝の乳房を摘去ん我これを言ふと主ヱホバ言ふ
35 “Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have forgotten me and cast me behind your back, therefore you also bear your lewdness and your prostitution.’”
然ば主ヱホバかく言ふ汝我を忘れ我を後に棄たれば汝またその淫行と邪淫の罪を負べし
36 The LORD said moreover to me: “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.
斯てヱホバ我にいひたまふ人の子よ汝アホラとアホリバを鞫かんとするや然らば彼らにその憎むべき事等を示せ
37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols. They have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through the fire to them to be devoured.
夫彼らは姦淫をおこなへり又血その手にあり彼らその偶像と姦淫をおこなひ又その我に生たる男子等に火の中をとほらしめてこれを燒り
38 Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
加之また是をなせり即ち彼ら同日にわが聖處を汚しわが安息日を犯せり
39 For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and behold, they have done this in the middle of my house.
彼らその偶像のために男子等を宰りしその日にわが聖處に來りてこれを汚し斯わが家の中に事をなせり
40 “Furthermore you sisters have sent for men who come from far away, to whom a messenger was sent, and behold, they came; for whom you washed yourself, painted your eyes, decorated yourself with ornaments,
且又彼らは使者をやりて遠方より人を招きて至らしむ其人々のために汝身を洗ひ目を畵き妝飾を着け
41 and sat on a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon you set my incense and my oil.
華美なる床に坐し臺盤をその前に備へその上にわが香とわが膏を置り
42 “The voice of a multitude being at ease was with her. With men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on their hands, and beautiful crowns on their heads.
斯て群衆の喧噪その中に靜りしがその多衆の人々の上にまた曠野よりサバ人を招き寄たり彼らは手に腕環をはめ首に美しき冠を戴けり
43 Then I said of her who was old in adulteries, ‘Now they will play the prostitute with her, and she with them.’
我かの姦淫のために衰弱たる女の事を云り今は早彼の姦淫その姦淫をなしをはらんかと
44 They went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute. So they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women.
彼らは遊女の所にいるごとくに彼の所に入たり斯かれらすなはち淫婦アホラとアホリバの所に入ぬ
45 Righteous men will judge them with the judgment of adulteresses and with the judgment of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
義人等姦婦の律法に照し故殺の律法に照して彼らを鞫かん彼らは姦婦にしてまたその手に血あればなり
46 “For the Lord GOD says: ‘I will bring up a mob against them, and will give them to be tossed back and forth and robbed.
主ヱホバかく言ふ我群衆を彼等に攻きたらしめ彼らを是に付して虐と掠にあはしめん
47 The company will stone them with stones and dispatch them with their swords. They will kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
群衆かれらを石にて撃ち劍をもて斬りその子女を殺し火をもてその家を燒べし
48 “‘Thus I will cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to be lewd like you.
斯我この地に邪淫を絕さん婦女みな自ら警めて汝らのごとくに邪淫をおこなはざるべし
49 They will recompense your lewdness on you, and you will bear the sins of your idols. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’”
彼ら汝らの邪淫の罪を汝らに報いん汝らはその偶像の罪を負ひ而して我の主ヱホバなるを知にいたるべし
