Ezekiel 15

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, what is the vine-tree more than any branching tree which is among the trees of the woods?

人の子よ葡萄の樹森の中にあるところの葡萄の枝なんぞ他の樹に勝るところあらんや

3 Will its wood be used for any work? do men make of it a pin for hanging any vessel on?

其木物をつくるに用ふべけんや又人これを用ひて器をかくる木釘を造らんや

4 See, it is put into the fire for burning: the fire has made a meal of its two ends and the middle part of it is burned; is it good for any work?

視よ是は火に投いれられて燃ゆ火もしその兩の端を燒くあり又その中間焦たらば爭でか物をつくるに勝べけんや

5 Truly, before it was cut down, it was not used for any purpose: how much less, when the fire has made a meal of it and it is burned, will it be made into anything?

是はその全かる時すらも物を造るに用ふべからざれば况て火のこれを焚焦したる時には爭で物をつくるに用ふべけんや

6 For this cause the Lord has said: Like the vine-tree among the trees of the woods which I have given to the fire for burning, so will I give the people of Jerusalem.

是故に主ヱホバかく言たまふ我森の樹の中なる葡萄の樹を火になげいれて焚く如くにヱルサレムの民をも然するなり

7 And my face will be turned against them; and though they have come out of the fire they will be burned up by it; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord when my face is turned against them.

我面をかれらに向けて攻む彼らは火の中より出たれども火なほこれを燒つくすべし我面をかれらにむけて攻むる時に汝らは我のヱホバなるをしらん

8 And I will make the land a waste because they have done evil, says the Lord.

彼等悖逆る事をおこなひしに由て我かの地を荒地となすべし主ヱホバこれを言ふ
