Ezekiel 14
1 Then some of the elders of Israel came and sat down 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 the LORD came to me, saying,
ヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ
3 “Son of man, these men have set up idols in their hearts and put wicked stumbling blocks before their faces. Should I consult with them in any way?
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 tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘When any Israelite sets up idols in his heart and puts a wicked stumbling block before his face, and then comes to the prophet, I the LORD will answer him according to his great idolatry,
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 so that I may take hold of the hearts of the people of Israel. For because of their idols, they are all estranged from Me.’
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 tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Repent and turn away from your idols; turn your faces away 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 when any Israelite or any foreigner dwelling in Israel separates himself from Me, sets up idols in his heart, and puts a wicked stumbling block before his face, and then comes to the prophet to inquire of Me, I the LORD will answer him 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 I will set My face against that man and make him a sign and a proverb; I will cut him off from among My people. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
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 But if the prophet is enticed to speak a message, then it was I the LORD who enticed him, and I will stretch out My hand against him and destroy him from among 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 They will bear their punishment—the punishment of the inquirer will be the same as that of the prophet—
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 in order that the house of Israel may no longer stray from Me and no longer defile themselves with all their transgressions. Then they will be My people and I will be their God, declares the Lord GOD.’”
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 the LORD came to me, saying,
ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ
13 “Son of man, if a land sins against Me by acting unfaithfully, and I stretch out My hand against it to cut off its supply of food, to send famine upon it, and to cut off from it both 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 then even if these three men—Noah, Daniel, and Job—were in it, their righteousness could deliver only themselves, declares the Lord GOD.
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 Or if I send wild beasts through the land to leave it childless and desolate, with no man passing through it for fear 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 then as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, even if these three men were in it, they could not deliver their own sons or daughters. They alone 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 against that land and say, ‘Let a sword pass through it,’ so that I cut off from it both 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 then as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, even if these three men were in it, they could not deliver their own sons or daughters. They alone would be delivered.
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 plague into that land and pour out My wrath upon it through bloodshed, cutting off from it both 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 then as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, they could not deliver their own sons or daughters. Their righteousness could deliver only themselves.
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 this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘How much worse will it be when I send against Jerusalem My four dire judgments—sword, famine, wild beasts, and plague—in order to cut off from it both 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, some survivors will be left in it—sons and daughters who will be brought out. They will come out to you, and when you see their conduct and actions, you will be comforted regarding the disaster I have brought upon Jerusalem—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 They will bring you consolation when you see their conduct and actions, and you will know that it was not without cause that I have done all these things within it,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
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
