Ezekiel 24
1 In the ninth year, on the tenth day of the tenth month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
九年の十月十日にヱホバの言我にのぞみて言ふ
2 “Son of man, write down today’s date, for on this very day the king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem.
人の子よ汝此日すなはち今日の名を書せバビロンの王今日ヱルサレムを攻をるなり
3 Now speak a parable to this rebellious house and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Put the pot on the fire; put it on and pour in the water.
汝背ける家に譬喩をかたりて之に言へ主ヱホバかく言たまふ釜を居ゑ居ゑてこれに水を斟いれ
4 Put in the pieces of meat, every good piece— thigh and shoulder— fill it with choice bones.
其肉の凡て佳き所を集めて股と肩とを之に入れ佳き骨をこれに充し
5 Take the choicest of the flock and pile the fuel beneath it. Bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it.’
羊の選擇者を取れ亦薪一束を取り下に入れて骨を煮釜を善く煮たて亦その中の骨を煮よ
6 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the city of bloodshed, to the pot now rusted, whose rust will not come off! Empty it piece by piece; cast no lots for its contents.
是故に主ヱホバかく言ふ禍なるかな血の流るる邑銹のつきたる釜 その銹これを離れざるなり肉を一箇一箇に取いだせ之がために籤を掣べからず
7 For the blood she shed is still within her; she poured it out on the bare rock; she did not pour it on the ground to cover it with dust.
彼の血はその中にあり彼乾ける磐の上にこれを置りこれを土にそそぎて塵に覆はれしめず
8 In order to stir up wrath and take vengeance, I have placed her blood on the bare rock, so that it would not be covered.’
我怒を來らせ仇を復さんがためにその血を乾ける磐の上に置て塵に覆はれざらしめたり
9 Yes, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the city of bloodshed! I, too, will pile the kindling high.
是故に主ヱホバかく言ふ禍なるかな血の流るる邑我またその薪の束を大にすべし
10 Pile on the logs and kindle the fire; cook the meat well and mix in the spices; let the bones be burned.
薪を積かさね火を燃し肉を善く煮てこれを煮つくしその骨をも燒しむべし
11 Set the empty pot on its coals until it becomes hot and its copper glows. Then its impurity will melt within; its rust will be consumed.
而して釜を空にして炭火の上に置きその銅をして熱くなりて燒しめ其汚穢をして中に鎔しめその銹を去しむべし
12 It has frustrated every effort; its thick rust has not been removed, even by the fire.
旣に手を盡したれどもその大なる銹さらざればその銹を火に投棄べし
13 Because of the indecency of your uncleanness I tried to cleanse you, but you would not be purified from your filthiness. You will not be pure again until My wrath against you has subsided.
汝の汚穢の中に淫行あり我汝を淨めんとしたれども汝淨まらざりしに因てわが怒を汝に洩しつくすまでは汝その汚穢をはなれて淨まることあらじ
14 I, the LORD, have spoken; the time is coming, and I will act. I will not refrain or show pity, nor will I relent. I will judge you according to your ways and deeds,’
我ヱホバこれを言り是至る我これを爲べし止ず惜まず悔ざるなり汝の道にしたがひ汝の行爲にしたがひて彼ら汝を鞫かん主ヱホバこれを言ふ
15 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
ヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ
16 “Son of man, behold, I am about to take away the desire of your eyes with a fatal blow. But you must not mourn or weep or let your tears flow.
人の子よ我頓死をもて汝の目の喜ぶ者を取去ん汝哀かず泣ず涙をながすべからず
17 Groan quietly; do not mourn for the dead. Put on your turban and strap your sandals on your feet; do not cover your lips or eat the bread of mourners.”
聲をたてずして哀け死人のために哀哭をなすなかれ冠物を戴き足に鞋を穿べし鬚を掩ふなかれ人のおくれる食物を食ふべからず
18 So I spoke to the people in the morning, and in the evening my wife died. And the next morning I did as I had been commanded.
朝に我人々に語りしが夕にわが妻死ねり明朝におよびて我命ぜられしごとくなせり
19 Then the people asked me, “Won’t you tell us what these things you are doing mean to us?”
茲に人々我に言けるは此汝がなすところの事は何の意なるや我らに告ざるや
20 So I answered them, “The word of the LORD came to me, saying:
我かれらに言けるはヱホバの言我にのぞみて言ふ
21 Tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I am about to desecrate My sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and the delight of your soul. And the sons and daughters you left behind will fall by the sword.’
イスラエルの家にいふべし主ヱホバかく言ふ視よ我汝らの勢力の榮汝らの目の喜愛汝らの心の望なるわが聖所を汚さん汝らが遺すところの子女等は劍に仆れん
22 Then you will do as I have done: You will not cover your lips or eat the bread of mourners.
汝らもわが爲るごとくなし鬚を覆はず人のおくれる食物を食はず
23 Your turbans will remain on your heads and your sandals on your feet. You will not mourn or weep, but you will waste away because of your sins, and you will groan among yourselves.
首に冠物を戴き足に履を穿き哀かず泣ずその罪の中に痩衰へて互に呻かん
24 ‘Thus Ezekiel will be a sign for you; you will do everything that he has done. When this happens, you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’
斯エゼキエル汝らに兆とならん彼がなしたるごとく汝ら爲ん是事の至らん時に汝ら我の主ヱホバなるを知べし
25 And you, son of man, know that on the day I take away their stronghold, their pride and joy—the desire of their eyes which uplifted their souls—and their sons and daughters as well,
人の子よわが彼らの力かれらの樂むところの榮その目の喜愛その心の望その子女を取去る日
26 on that day a fugitive will come and tell you the news.
その日に逃亡者汝の許に來り汝の耳に告ることあらん
27 On that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped; you will speak and no longer be mute. So you will be a sign to them, and they will know that I am the LORD.”
その日に汝逃亡者にむかひて口を啓き語りて再び默せざらん斯汝かれらに兆となるべし彼らは遂に我のヱホバなるを知ん
