Ezekiel 20
1 Now it came about in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, that certain of the responsible men of Israel came to get directions from the Lord and were seated before me.
七年の五月十日にイスラエルの長老の中の人々ヱホバに問んとて來りてわが前に坐しけるに
2 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
ヱホバの言我にのぞみて云ふ
3 Son of man, say to the responsible men of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: Have you come to get directions from me? By my life, says the Lord, you will get no directions from me.
人の子よイスラエルの長老等に告て之にいふべし主ヱホバかく言ふ汝等我に問んとて來れるや主ヱホバいふ我は活く我汝らの問を容じと
4 Will you be their judge, O son of man, will you be their judge? make clear to them the disgusting ways of their fathers,
汝かれらを鞫かんとするや人の子よ汝かれらを鞫かんとするや彼等の先祖等のなしたる憎むべき事等をかれらに知しめて
5 And say to them, This is what the Lord has said: In the day when I took Israel for myself, when I made an oath to the seed of the family of Jacob, and I gave them knowledge of myself in the land of Egypt, saying to them with an oath, I am the Lord your God;
言べし主ヱホバかくいふ我イスラエルを選みヤコブの家の裔にむかひてわが手をあげエジプトの地にて我をかれらに知せかれらにむかひて吾手をあげて我は汝らの神ヱホバなりと言し日
6 In that day I gave my oath to take them out of the land of Egypt into a land which I had been searching out for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands:
その日に我かれらにむかひて吾手をあげエジプトの地よりかれらをいだし吾がかれらのために求め得たるその乳と蜜の流るる地に導かんとせり是諸の地の中の美しき者なり
7 And I said to them, Let every man among you put away the disgusting things to which his eyes are turned, and do not make yourselves unclean with the images of Egypt; I am the Lord your God.
而して我かれらに言けらく各人その目にあるところの憎むべき事等を棄てよエジプトの偶像をもてその身を汚すなかれ我は汝らの神ヱホバなりと
8 But they would not be controlled by me, and did not give ear to me; they did not put away the disgusting things to which their eyes were turned, or give up the images of Egypt: then I said I would let loose my passion on them to give full effect to my wrath against them in the land of Egypt.
然るに彼らは我に背きて我に聽したがふことを好まざりき彼等一人もその目にあるところの憎むべき者を棄てずエジプトの偶像を棄てざりしかば我エジプトの地の中において吾憤恨をかれらに注ぎわが忿怒をかれらに洩さんと言り
9 And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean before the eyes of the nations among whom they were, and before whose eyes I gave them knowledge of myself, by taking them out of the land of Egypt.
然れども我わが名のために事をなして彼らをエジプトの地より導きいだせり是吾名の異邦人等の前に汚されざらんためなりその異邦人等の中に彼等居り又その前にて我おのれを彼等に知せたり
10 So I made them go out of the land of Egypt and took them into the waste land.
すなはち我エジプトの地より彼等を導き出して曠野に携ゆき
11 And I gave them my rules and made clear to them my orders, which, if a man keeps them, will be life to him.
わが法憲をこれに授けわが律法をこれに示せり是は人の行ひて之に由て生べき者なり
12 And further, I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, so that it might be clear that I, who make them holy, am the Lord.
我また彼らに安息日を與へて我と彼らの間の徴となしかれらをして吾ヱホバが彼らを聖別しを知しめんとせり
13 But the children of Israel would not be controlled by me in the waste land: they were not guided by my rules, and they were turned away from my orders, which, if a man does them, will be life to him; and they had no respect for my Sabbaths: then I said that I would let loose my passion on them in the waste land, and put an end to them.
然るにイスラエルの家は曠野にて我に背き人の行ひて之によりて生べき者なるわが法度にあゆまず吾が律法を輕んじ大に吾が安息日を汚したれば曠野にてわが憤恨をかれらに注ぎてこれを滅さんと言ひたりしが
14 And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean in the eyes of the nations, before whose eyes I had taken them out.
我わが名のために事をなせり是わが彼らを導きいだして見せしところの異邦人等の目のまへにわが名を汚されざらしめんためなりき
15 And further, I gave my oath to them in the waste land, that I would not take them into the land which I had given them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands;
但し我曠野にて彼らにむかひて吾手をあげ彼らをわが與へしその乳と蜜の流るる地に導かじと誓へり是は諸の地の中の美しき者なり
16 Because they were turned away from my orders, and were not guided by my rules, and had no respect for my Sabbaths: for their hearts went after their images.
是かれら心にその偶像を慕ひてわが律法を輕んじ棄てわが法憲にあゆまずわが安息日を汚したればなり
17 But still my eye had pity on them and I kept them from destruction and did not put an end to them completely in the waste land.
然りといへども吾かれらを惜み見てかれらを滅ぼさず曠野にて彼らを絕さざりき
18 And I said to their children in the waste land, Do not be guided by the rules of your fathers or keep their orders or make yourselves unclean with their images:
我曠野にてかれらの子等に言り汝らの父の法度にあゆむなかれ汝らの律法を守るなかれ汝らの偶像をもて汝らの身を汚すなかれ
19 I am the Lord your God; be guided by my rules and keep my orders and do them:
我は汝らの神ヱホバなり吾法度にあゆみ吾律法を守りてこれを行ひ
20 And keep my Sabbaths holy; and they will be a sign between me and you so that it may be clear to you that I am the Lord your God.
わが安息日を聖くせよ是は我と汝らの間の徴となりて汝らをして我が汝らの神ヱホバなるを知しめんと
21 But the children would not be controlled by me; they were not guided by my rules, and they did not keep and do my orders, which, if a man does them, will be life to him; and they had no respect for my Sabbaths: then I said I would let loose my passion on them to give full effect to my wrath against them in the waste land.
然るにその子等我にそむき人の行ひてこれによりて活べき者なるわが法度にあゆまず吾律法をまもりて之をおこなはずわが安息日を汚したれば我わが憤恨を彼らにそそぎ曠野にてわが忿怒をかれらに洩さんと言たりしが
22 And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean in the eyes of the nations, before whose eyes I had taken them out.
吾手を翻してわが名のために事をなせり是わが彼らを導き出して見せしところの異邦人等の目のまへにわが名を汚されざらしめんためなりき
23 Further, I gave my oath to them in the waste land that I would send them wandering among the nations, driving them out among the countries;
但し我汝らを國々に散し處々に撒んと曠野にてかれらにむかひて我手を擧たり
24 Because they had not done my orders, but had been turned away from my rules, and had not given respect to my Sabbaths, and their eyes were turned to the images of their fathers.
是かれらわが律法を行はずわが法度を輕じわが安息日をけがしその父の偶像を目に慕ひたればなり
25 And further, I gave them rules which were not good and orders in which there was no life for them;
我かれらに善らぬ法度を與へかれらが由て活べからざる律法を與へ
26 I made them unclean in the offerings they gave, causing them to make every first child go through the fire, so that I might put an end to them.
彼らをしてその禮物によりて己の身を汚さしむ即ちかれらその長子をして火の中を通過しめたり是は我彼らを滅し彼らをして我のヱホバなるを知しめんためなり
27 For this cause, son of man, say to the children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: In this your fathers have further put shame on my name by doing wrong against me.
然ば人の子よイスラエルの家につげて之にいふべし主ヱホバかくいひたまふ彼らの父等は更にまた不忠の罪ををかし我を瀆せり
28 For when I had taken them into the land which I made an oath to give to them, then they saw every high hill and every branching tree and made their offerings there, moving me to wrath by their offerings; and there the sweet smell of their offerings went up and their drink offerings were drained out.
我わが彼らに與へんと手をあげし此地にかれらを導きいれしに彼ら諸の高丘と諸の茂樹を尋ね得てその犠牲を其處に供へその憤らしき禮物をそこに獻げその馨しき佳氣をそこに奉つりその神酒をそこに灌げり
29 Then I said to them, What is this high place where you go to no purpose? And it is named Bamah to this day.
我かれらに言り汝らが往ところの崇き處は何なるやと其名は今日にいたるまでバマと言ふなり
30 For this cause say to the children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: Are you making yourselves unclean as your fathers did? are you being untrue to me by going after their disgusting works?
この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らの先祖の途をもて汝らはその身を汚し彼等の憎むべき物をしたひてこれと姦淫を行ふにあらずや
31 And when you give your offerings, causing your sons to go through the fire, you make yourselves unclean with all your images to this day; and will you come to me for directions, O children of Israel? By my life, says the Lord, you will get no direction from me.
汝等はその禮物を獻げその子女に火の中を通らしめて今日にいたるまで汝らの諸の偶像をもてその身を汚すなり然ばイスラエルの家よ我なんぢらの問を容るべけんや主ヱホバいふ我は活く我は汝らの問を容ざるなり
32 And that which comes into your minds will never take place; when you say, We will be like the nations, like the families of the countries, servants of wood and stone;
汝ら我儕は木と石に事へて異邦人の如くなり國々の宗族のごとくならんと言ば汝らの心に起るところの事は必ず成ざるべし
33 By my life, says the Lord, truly, with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with burning wrath let loose, I will be King over you:
主ヱホバいふ我は生く我かならず強き手と伸たる腕をもて怒を注ぎて汝らを治めん
34 And I will take you out from the peoples and get you together out of the countries where you are wandering, with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with burning wrath let loose:
我強き手と伸たる腕をもて怒を注ぎて汝らを國々より曳いだし汝らが散れたる處々より汝らを集め
35 And I will take you into the waste land of the peoples, and there I will take up the cause with you face to face.
國々の曠野に汝らを導き其處にて面をあはせて汝らを鞫かん
36 As I took up the cause with your fathers in the waste land of the land of Egypt, so will I take up the cause with you says the Lord.
主ヱホバいふ我エジプトの曠野にて汝らの先祖等を鞫きしごとくに汝らを鞫くべし
37 And I will make you go under the rod and will make you small in number:
我なんぢらをして杖の下を通らしめ契約の索に汝らを入しめ
38 Clearing out from among you all those who are uncontrolled and who are sinning against me; I will take them out of the land where they are living, but they will not come into the land of Israel: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
汝らの中より背ける者および我に悖れる者を別たんその寓れる地より我かれらをいだすべし彼らはイスラエルの地に來らざるべし汝らすなはち我のヱホバなるを知ん
39 As for you, O children of Israel, the Lord has said: Let every man completely put away his images and give ear to me: and let my holy name no longer be shamed by your offerings and your images.
然ばイスラエルの家よ主ヱホバかくいふ汝等おのおの往てその偶像に事へよ然ど後には汝らかならず我に聽て重てその禮物と偶像をもてわが名を汚さざるべし
40 For in my holy mountain, in the high mountain of Israel, says the Lord, there all the children of Israel, all of them, will be my servants in the land; there I will take pleasure in them, and there I will be worshipped with your offerings and the first-fruits of the things you give, and with all your holy things.
主ヱホバいふ吾が聖山の上イスラエルの高山の上にてイスラエルの全家その地の者皆我に事へん其處にて我かれらを悦びて受納ん其處にて我なんぢらの獻物および初成の禮物すべて汝らが聖別たる者を求むべし
41 I will take pleasure in you as in a sweet smell, when I take you out from the peoples and get you together from the countries where you have been sent in flight; and I will make myself holy in you before the eyes of the nations.
我汝らを國々より導き出し汝らが散されたる處々より汝らを集むる時馨しき香氣のごとくに汝らを悦びて受納れ汝らによりて異邦人等の目のまへに我の聖ことをあらはすべし
42 And you will be certain that I am the Lord, when I take you into the land of Israel, into the country which I made an oath to give to your fathers.
我が汝らをイスラエルの地すなはちわが汝らの先祖等にあたへんと手をあげしところの地にいたらしめん時に汝等は我のヱホバなるを知るにいたらん
43 And there, at the memory of your ways and of all the things you did to make yourselves unclean, you will have bitter hate for yourselves because of all the evil things you have done.
汝らは其身を汚したるところの汝らの途と汝らのもろもろの行爲を彼處にて憶え其なしたる諸の惡き作爲のために自ら恨み視ん
44 And you will be certain that I am the Lord, when I take you in hand for the honour of my name, and not for your evil ways or your unclean doings, O children of Israel, says the Lord.
イスラエルの家よ我汝らの惡き途によらず汝らの邪なる作爲によらずして吾名のために汝等を待はん時に汝らは我のヱホバなるを知るにいたらん主ヱホバこれを言ふなり
45 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ
46 Son of man, let your face be turned to the south, let your words be dropped to the south, and be a prophet against the woodland of the South;
人の子よ汝の面を南方に向け南にむかひて言を垂れ南の野の森の事を預言せよ
47 And say to the woodland of the South, Give ear to the words of the Lord: this is what the Lord has said: See, I will have a fire lighted in you, for the destruction of every green tree in you and every dry tree: the flaming flame will not be put out, and all faces from the south to the north will be burned by it.
すなはち南の森に言ふべしヱホバの言を聽け主ヱホバかく言ふ視よ我なんぢの中に火を燃さん是なんぢの中の諸の靑樹と諸の枯木を焚べしその烈しき火焰消ることなし南より北まで諸の面これがために燒ん
48 And all flesh will see that I the Lord have had it lighted: it will not be put out.
肉ある者みな我ヱホバのこれを燒しなるを見ん是は消ざるべし
49 Then I said, Ah, Lord! they say of me, Is he not a maker of stories?
我是において言り嗚呼主ヱホバよ人われを指て言ふ彼は譬言をもて語るにあらずやと
