Ezekiel 33
1 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
爰にヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ
2 “Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and tell them, ‘When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman,
人の子よ汝の民の人々に告て之に言へ我劍を一の國に臨ましめん時その國の民おのれの國人の中より一人を選みて之を守望人となさんに
3 if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blows the trumpet and warns the people,
かれ國に劍の臨むを見ラッパを吹てその民を警むることあらん
4 then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not heed the warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.
然るに人ラッパの音を聞て自ら警めず劍つひに臨みて其人を失ふにいたらばその血はその人の首に歸すべし
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet and did not take warning. His blood will be on him; whereas if he had heeded the warning, he would have delivered his soul.
彼ラッパの音を聞て自ら警むることを爲ざればその血は己に歸すべし然どもし自ら警むることを爲ばその生命を保つことを得ん
6 But if the watchman sees the sword come and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’
然れども守望者劍の臨むを見てラッパを吹ず民警戒をうけざるあらんに劍のぞみて其中の一人を失はば其人は己の罪に死るなれど我その血を守望者の手に討問めん
7 “So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and give them warnings from me.
然ば人の子よ我汝を立てイスラエルの家の守望者となす汝わが口より言を聞き我にかはりて彼等を警むべし
8 When I tell the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man will die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at your hand.
我惡人に向ひて惡人よ汝死ざるべからずと言んに汝その惡人を警めてその途を離るるやうに語らずば惡人はその罪に死んなれどその血をば我汝の手に討問むべし
9 Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he does not turn from his way; he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.
然ど汝もし惡人を警めて翻りてその途を離れしめんとしたるに彼その途を離れずば彼はその罪に死ん而して汝はおのれの生命を保つことを得ん
10 “You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: ‘You say this, “Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away in them. How then can we live?”’
然ば人の子よイスラエルの家に言へ汝らは斯語りて言ふ我らの愆と罪は我らの身の上にあり我儕はその中にありて消失ん爭でか生ることを得んと
11 Tell them, ‘“As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why will you die, house of Israel?”’
汝かれらに言べし主ヱホバ言たまふ我は活く我惡人の死るを悦ばず惡人のその途を離れて生るを悦ぶなり汝ら翻へり翻へりてその惡き道を離れよイスラエルの家よ汝等なんぞ死べけんや
12 “You, son of man, tell the children of your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him in the day of his disobedience. And as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither will he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that he sins.
人の子よ汝の民の人々に言べし義人の義はその人の罪を犯せる日にはその人を救ふことあたはず惡人はその惡を離れたる日にはその惡のために仆るることあらじ義人はその罪を犯せる日にはその義のために生ることを得じ
13 When I tell the righteous that he will surely live, if he trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but he will die in his iniquity that he has committed.
我義人に汝かならず生べしと言んに彼その義を恃みて罪ををかさばその義は悉く忘らるべし其をかせる罪のために彼は死べし
14 Again, when I say to the wicked, “You will surely die,” if he turns from his sin and does that which is lawful and right,
我惡人に汝かならず死べしと言んに彼その惡を離れ公道と公義を行ふことあらん
15 if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity, he will surely live. He will not die.
即ち惡人質物を歸しその奪ひし者を還し惡をなさずして生命の憲法にあゆみなば必ず生ん死ざるべし
16 None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done that which is lawful and right. He will surely live.
その犯したる各種の罪は記憶らるることなかるべし彼すでに公道と公義を行ひたれば必ず生べし
17 “‘Yet the children of your people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair;” but as for them, their way is not fair.
汝の民の人々は主の道正しからずと言ふ然ど實は彼等の道の正しからざるなり
18 When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will even die therein.
義人もしその義を離れて罪ををかさば是がために死べし
19 When the wicked turns from his wickedness and does that which is lawful and right, he will live by it.
惡人もしその惡を離れて公道と公義を行ひなば是がために生べし
20 Yet you say, “The way of the Lord is not fair.” House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after his ways.’”
然るに汝らは主の道正しからずといふイスラエルの家よ我各人の行爲にしたがひて汝等を鞫くべし
21 In the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, “The city has been defeated!”
我らが擄へうつされし後すなはち十二年の十月の五日にヱルサレムより脱逃者きたりて邑は撃敗られたりと言ふ
22 Now the LORD’s hand had been on me in the evening, before he who had escaped came; and he had opened my mouth until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.
その逃亡者の來る前の夜ヱホバの手我に臨み彼が朝におよびて我に來るまでに我口を開けり斯わが口開けたれば我また默せざりき
23 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
即ちヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ
24 “Son of man, those who inhabit the waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, ‘Abraham was one, and he inherited the land; but we are many. The land is given us for inheritance.’
人の子よイスラエルの地の彼の墟址に住る者語りて云ふアブラハムは一人にして此地を有てり我等は衆多し此地はわれらの所有に授かると
25 Therefore tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. So should you possess the land?
是故に汝かれらに言ふべし主ヱホバかく言ふ汝らは血のままに食ひ汝らの偶像を仰ぎ且血を流すなれば尚此地を有つべけんや
26 You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbor’s wife. So should you possess the land?”’
汝等は劍を恃み憎むべき事を行ひ各々人の妻を汚すなれば此地を有つべけんや
27 “You shall tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says: “As I live, surely those who are in the waste places will fall by the sword. I will give whoever is in the open field to the animals to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves will die of the pestilence.
汝かれらに斯言べし主ヱホバかく言ふ我は活くかの荒場に居る者は劍に仆れん野の表にをる者をば我獸にあたへて噬はしめん要害と洞穴とにをる者は疫病に死ん
28 I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment. The pride of her power will cease. The mountains of Israel will be desolate, so that no one will pass through.
我この國を全く荒さん其誇るところの權勢は終に至らんイスラエルの山々は荒て通る者なかるべし
29 Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment because of all their abominations which they have committed.”’
彼らが行ひたる諸の憎むべき事のために我その國を全く荒さん時に彼ら我のヱホバなるを知ん
30 “As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk about you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak to one another, everyone to his brother, saying, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes out from the LORD.’
人の子よ汝の民の人々垣の下家の門にて汝の事を論じ互に語りあひ各々その兄弟に言ふ去來われら如何なる言のヱホバより出るかを聽んと
31 They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
彼ら民の集會のごとくに汝に來り吾民のごとくに汝の前に坐して汝の言を聞ん然ども之を行はじ彼らは口に悦ばしきところの事をなし其心は利にしたがふなり
32 Behold, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them.
彼等には汝悦ばしき歌美しき聲美く奏る者のごとし彼ら汝の言を聞ん然ど之をおこなはじ
33 “When this comes to pass—behold, it comes—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.”
視よその事至る其事のいたる時には彼らおのれの中に預言者あるを知べし
