< Ezekiel 39 >
1 And you, son of man, be a prophet against Gog, and say, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am against you, O Gog, ruler of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal:
人の子よ、ゴグに向かって預言して言え。主なる神はこう言われる、メセクとトバルの大君であるゴグよ、見よ、わたしはあなたの敵となる。
2 And turning you round, I will be your guide, and make you come up from the inmost parts of the north; I will make you come on to the mountains of Israel:
わたしはあなたを引きもどし、あなたを押しやり、北の果から上らせ、イスラエルの山々に導き、
3 And with a blow I will send your bow out of your left hand and your arrows falling from your right hand.
あなたの左の手から弓を打ち落し、右の手から矢を落させる。
4 On the mountains of Israel you will come down, you and all your forces and the peoples who are with you: I will give you to cruel birds of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be their food.
あなたとあなたのすべての軍隊およびあなたと共にいる民たちは、イスラエルの山々に倒れる。わたしはあなたを、諸種の猛禽と野獣とに与えて食わせる。
5 You will come down in the open field: for I have said it, says the Lord.
あなたは野の面に倒れる。わたしがこれを言ったからであると、主なる神は言われる。
6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and on those who are living in the sea-lands without fear: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
わたしはゴグと、海沿いの国々に安らかに住む者に対して火を送り、彼らにわたしが主であることを悟らせる。
7 And I will make clear my holy name among my people Israel; I will no longer let my holy name be made unclean: and the nations will be certain that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.
わたしはわが聖なる名を、わが民イスラエルのうちに知らせ、重ねてわが聖なる名を汚させない。諸国民はわたしが主、イスラエルの聖者であることを悟る。
8 See, it is coming and it will be done, says the Lord; this is the day of which I have given word.
主なる神は言われる、見よ、これは来る、必ず成就する。これはわたしが言った日である。
9 And those who are living in the towns of Israel will go out and make fires of the instruments of war, burning the body-covers and the breastplates, the bows and the arrows and the sticks and the spears, and for seven years they will make fires of them:
イスラエルの町々に住む者は出て来て、武器すなわち大盾、小盾、弓、矢、手やり、およびやりなどを燃やし、焼き、七年の間これを火に燃やす。
10 And they will take no wood out of the field or have any cut down in the woods; for they will make their fires of the instruments of war: and they will take by force the property of those who took their property, and go off with the goods of those who took their goods, says the Lord.
彼らは野から木を取らず、森から木を切らず、武器で火を燃やし、自分をかすめた者をかすめ、自分の物を奪った者を奪うと、主なる神は言われる。
11 And it will come about in those days, that I will give to Gog a last resting-place there in Israel, in the valley of Abarim on the east of the sea: and those who go through will be stopped: and there Gog and all his people will be put to rest, and the place will be named, The valley of Hamon-gog.
その日、わたしはイスラエルのうちに、墓地をゴグに与える。これは旅びとの谷にあって海の東にある。これは旅びとを妨げる。そこにゴグとその民衆を埋めるからである。これをハモン・ゴグの谷と名づける。
12 And the children of Israel will be seven months putting them in the earth, so as to make the land clean.
イスラエルの家はこれを埋めて、地を清めるために七か月を費す。
13 And all the people of the land will put them in the earth; and it will be to their honour in the day when I let my glory be seen, says the Lord.
国のすべての民はこれを埋め、これによって名を高める。これはわが栄えを現す日であると、主なる神は言われる。
14 And they will put on one side men to do no other work but to go through the land and put in the earth the rest of those who are still on the face of the land, to make it clean: after seven months are ended they are to make a search.
彼らは人々を選んで、絶えず国の中を行きめぐらせ、地のおもてに残っている者を埋めて、これを清めさせる。七か月の終りに彼らは尋ねる。
15 And while they go through the land, if anyone sees a man's bone, he is to put up a sign by the place till those who are doing the work have put it in the earth in the valley of Hamon-gog.
国を行きめぐる者が行きめぐって、人の骨を見る時、死人を埋める者が、これをハモン・ゴグの谷に埋めるまで、そのかたわらに、標を建てて置く。
16 And there they will put all the army of Gog in the earth. So they will make the land clean.
(ハモナの町もそこにある。)こうして彼らはその国を清める。
17 And you, son of man, this is what the Lord has said: Say to the birds of every sort and to all the beasts of the field, Get together and come; come together on every side to the offering which I am putting to death for you, a great offering on the mountains of Israel, so that you may have flesh for your food and blood for your drink.
主なる神はこう言われる、人の子よ、諸種の鳥と野の獣とに言え、みな集まってこい。わたしがおまえたちのために供えた犠牲、すなわちイスラエルの山々の上にある、大いなる犠牲に、四方から集まり、その肉を食い、その血を飲め。
18 The flesh of the men of war will be your food, and your drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of sheep and lambs, of he-goats, of oxen, all of them fat beasts of Bashan.
おまえたちは勇士の肉を食い、地の君たちの血を飲め。雄羊、小羊、雄やぎ、雄牛などすべてバシャンの肥えた獣を食え。
19 You will go on feasting on the fat till you are full, and drinking the blood till you are overcome with it, of my offering which I have put to death for you.
わたしがおまえたちのために供えた犠牲は、飽きるまでその脂肪を食べ、酔うまで血を飲め。
20 At my table you will have food in full measure, horses and war-carriages, great men and all the men of war, says the Lord.
おまえたちはわが食卓について馬と、騎手と、勇士と、もろもろの戦士とを飽きるほど食べると、主なる神は言われる。
21 And I will put my glory among the nations, and all the nations will see my punishments which I have put into effect, and my hand which I have put on them.
わたしはわが栄光を諸国民に示す。すべての国民はわたしが行ったさばきと、わたしが彼らの上に加えた手とを見る。
22 So the children of Israel will be certain that I am the Lord their God, from that day and for the future.
この日から後、イスラエルの家はわたしが彼らの神、主であることを悟るようになる。
23 And it will be clear to the nations that the children of Israel were taken away prisoners for their evil-doing; because they did wrong against me, and my face was covered from them: so I gave them up into the hands of their attackers, and they all came to their end by the sword.
また諸国民はイスラエルの家が、その悪によって捕え移されたことを悟る。彼らがわたしにそむいたので、わたしはわが顔を彼らに隠し、彼らをその敵の手に渡した。それで彼らは皆つるぎに倒れた。
24 In the measure of their unclean ways and their sins, so I did to them; and I kept my face covered from them.
わたしは彼らの汚れと、とがとに従って、彼らを扱い、わたしの顔を彼らに隠した。
25 For this cause the Lord has said, Now I will let the fate of Jacob be changed, and I will have mercy on all the children of Israel, and will take care of the honour of my holy name.
それゆえ、主なる神はこう言われる、いまわたしはヤコブの幸福をもとに返し、イスラエルの全家をあわれみ、わが聖なる名のために、ねたみを起す。
26 And they will be conscious of their shame and of all the wrong which they have done against me, when they are living in their land with no sense of danger and with no one to be a cause of fear to them;
彼らは、その国に安らかに住み、だれもこれを恐れさせる者がないようになった時、自分の恥と、わたしに向かってなした反逆とを忘れる。
27 When I have taken them back from among the peoples and got them together out of the lands of their haters, and have made myself holy in them before the eyes of a great number of nations.
わたしが彼らを諸国民の中から帰らせ、その敵の国から呼び集め、彼らによって、わたしの聖なることを、多くの国民の前に示す時、
28 And they will be certain that I am the Lord their God, because I sent them away as prisoners among the nations, and have taken them together back to their land; and I have not let one of them be there any longer.
彼らは、わたしが彼らの神、主であることを悟る。これはわたしが彼らを諸国民のうちに移し、またこれをその国に呼び集めたからである。わたしはそのひとりをも、国々のうちに残すことをしない。
29 And my face will no longer be covered from them: for I have sent the out-flowing of my spirit on the children of Israel, says the Lord.
わたしは、わが霊をイスラエルの家に注ぐ時、重ねてわが顔を彼らに隠さないと、主なる神は言われる」。
