< Ezekiel 13 >
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
ヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ
2 Son of man, be a prophet against the prophets of Israel, and say to those prophets whose words are the invention of their hearts, Give ear to the word of the Lord;
人の子よ預言を事とするイスラエルの預言者にむかひて預言せよ彼のおのれの心のままに預言する者等に言ふべし汝らヱホバの言を聽け
3 This is what the Lord has said: A curse on the foolish prophets who go after the spirit which is in them and have seen nothing!
主ヱホバかくいひ給ふ彼の何をも見ずして己の心のままに行ふところの愚なる預言者は禍なるかな
4 O Israel, your prophets have been like jackals in the waste places.
イスラエルよ汝の預言者は荒墟にをる狐のごとくなり
5 You have not gone up into the broken places or made up the wall for the children of Israel to take your place in the fight in the day of the Lord.
汝等は破壞口を守らずまたイスラエルの家の四周に石垣を築きてヱホバの日に防ぎ戰はんともせざるなり
6 They have seen visions without substance and made use of secret arts, who say, The Lord has said; and the Lord has not sent them: hoping that the word would have effect.
彼らは虛浮者および虛妄の占卜を見る彼等はヱホバいひたまふと言ふといへどもヱホバはかれらを遣さざるなり然るに彼らその言の成らんことを望む
7 Have you not seen a vision without substance and have you not falsely made use of secret arts, when you say, The Lord has said; though I have said nothing?
汝らは空しき異象を見虛妄の占卜を宣べ吾が言ふことあらざるにヱホバいひ給ふと言ふにあらずや
8 So this is what the Lord has said: Because your words are without substance and your visions are false, see, I am against you, says the Lord.
是故に主ヱホバかくいひたまふ汝等空虛き事を言ひ虛僞の物を見るによりて我なんぢらを罰せん主ヱホバこれをいふ
9 And my hand will be against the prophets who see visions without substance and who make false use of secret arts: they will not be in the secret of my people, and they will not be recorded in the list of the children of Israel, and they will not come into the land of Israel; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.
我手はかの虛浮き事を見虛僞の事を卜ひいふところの預言者等に加はるべし彼等はわが民の會にをらずなりイスラエルの家の籍にしるされずイスラエルの地にいることをえざるべし汝等すなはち吾のヱホバなるをしるにいたらん
10 Because, even because they have been guiding my people into error, saying, Peace; when there is no peace; and in the building of a division wall they put whitewash on it:
かれらは吾民を惑し平安あらざるに平安といふ又わが民の屏を築くにあたりて彼等灰砂をもて之を圬る
11 Say to those who put whitewash on it, There will be an overflowing shower; and you, O ice-drops, will come raining down; and it will be broken in two by the storm-wind.
是故にその灰砂を圬る者に是は圮るべしと言へ大雨くだらん雹よ降れ大風よ吹べし
12 And when the wall has come down, will they not say to you, Where is the whitewash which you put on it?
視よ屏は圮る然ば人々汝等が用ひて圬たる灰砂は何處にあるやと汝等に言ざらんや
13 For this reason, the Lord has said: I will have it broken in two by a storm-wind in my passion; and there will be an overflowing shower in my wrath, and you, O ice-drops, will come raining angrily down.
即ち主ヱホバかく言たまふ我憤恨をもて大風を吹せ忿怒をもて大雨を注がせ憤恨をもて雹を降せてこれを毀つべし
14 So I will let the wall, which you were covering with whitewash, be broken down; I will have it levelled to the earth so that its base is uncovered: it will come down, and destruction will come on you with it; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.
我なんぢらが灰砂をもて圬たる屏を毀ちてこれを地に倒しその基礎を露にすべし是すなはち圮れん汝等はその中にほろびて吾のヱホバなるを知にいたらん
15 So I will let loose my passion on the wall in full measure, and on those who put whitewash on it; and I will say to you, Where is the wall, and where are those who put whitewash on it?
斯われその屏とこれを灰砂にてぬれる者とにむかひてわが憤恨を洩しつくして汝等にいふべし屏はあらずなり又灰砂にてこれを圬る者もあらずなれりと
16 Even the prophets of Israel who say words to Jerusalem, who see visions of peace for her when there is no peace, says the Lord.
是すなはちイスラエルの預言者等なり彼等はヱルサレムにむかひて預言をなし其處に平安のあらざるに平安の默示を見たりといへり主ヱホバこれをいふ
17 And you, son of man, let your face be turned against the daughters of your people, who are acting the part of prophets at their pleasure; be a prophet against them, and say,
人の子よ汝の民の女等の其心のままに預言する者に汝の面をむけ之にむかひて預言し
18 This is what the Lord has said: A curse is on the women who are stitching bands on all arms and putting veils on the heads of those of every size, so that they may go after souls! Will you go after the souls of my people and keep yourselves safe from death?
言べし主ヱホバかくいひたまふ吾手の節々の上に小枕を縫つけ諸の大さの頭に帽子を造り蒙せて靈魂を獵んとする者は禍なるかな汝等はわが民の靈魂を獵て己の靈魂を生しめんとするなり
19 And you have put me to shame among my people for a little barley and some bits of bread, sending death on souls for whom there is no cause of death, and keeping those souls living who have no right to life, by the false words you say to my people who give ear to what is false.
汝等小許の麥のため小許のパンのために吾民の前にて我を汚しかの僞言を聽いるる吾民に僞言を陳て死べからざる者を死しめ生べからざる者を生しむ
20 For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am against your bands with which you go after souls, and I will violently take them off their arms; and I will let loose the souls, even the souls whom you go after freely.
是故に主ヱホバかくいひたまふ我汝等が用ひて靈魂を獵ところの小枕を奪ひ靈魂を飛さらしめん我なんぢらの臀より小枕を裂とりて汝らが獵ところの靈魂を釋ち其靈魂を飛さらしむべし
21 And I will have your veils violently parted in two, and will make my people free from your hands, and they will no longer be in your power for you to go after them; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
我なんぢらの帽子を裂き吾民を汝らの手より救ひいださん彼等はふたたび汝等の手に陷りて獵れざるべし汝らは吾ヱホバなるを知にいたらん
22 Because with your false words you have given pain to the heart of the upright man when I had not made him sad; in order to make strong the hands of the evil-doer so that he may not be turned from his evil way and get life:
汝等虛僞をもて義者の心を憂へしむ我はこれを憂へしめざるなり又汝等惡者の手を強くし之をしてその惡き道を離れかへりて生命を保つことをなさしめず
23 For this cause you will see no more foolish visions or make false use of secret arts: and I will make my people free from your power; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
是故に汝等は重ねて虛浮き物を見ることを得ず占卜をなすことを得ざるに至るべし我わが民を汝らの手より救ひいださん汝等すなはちわがヱホバなるを知にいたるべし
