Ezekiel 30
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
主の言葉がわたしに臨んだ、
2 “Son of man, prophesy and say: Thus says the Lord God: Wail: ‘Woe, woe to the day!’
「人の子よ、預言して言え、主なる神はこう言われる、嘆け、その日はわざわいだ。
3 For the day is near, and the day of the Lord is approaching! It is a day of gloom; it will be the time of the Gentiles.
その日は近い、主の日は近い。これは雲の日、異邦人の滅びの時である。
4 And the sword will come to Egypt. And there will be dread in Ethiopia, when the wounded will have fallen in Egypt, and its multitude will have been taken away, and its foundations will have been destroyed.
つるぎがエジプトに臨む。エジプトで殺される者の倒れる時、エチオピヤには苦しみがあり、その財宝は奪い去られ、その基は破られる。
5 Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the rest of the common people, and Chub, and the sons of the land of the covenant, will fall with them by the sword.
エチオピヤ、プテ、ルデ、アラビヤ、リビヤおよび同盟国の人々は、彼らと共につるぎに倒れる。
6 Thus says the Lord God: And those who prop up Egypt will fall, and the arrogance of its reign will be brought down. They will fall in it by the sword, before the tower of Syene, says the Lord, the God of hosts.
主はこう言われる、エジプトを助ける者は倒れ、その誇る力はうせる。ミグドルからスエネまで、人々はつるぎによってそのうちに倒れると主なる神が言われる。
7 And they will be scattered into the midst of desolate lands, and its cities will be in the midst of cities that have been deserted.
それは荒れて、荒れはてた国々のうちにあり、その町々は荒れた町々のうちにある。
8 And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have brought a fire into Egypt, and when all its helpers will have been worn away.
わたしがエジプトに火を送り、これを助ける者が皆滅びる時、彼らはわたしが主であることを知る。
9 In that day, messengers will go forth from my face in Greek warships, in order to crush the confidence of Ethiopia. And there will be dread among them in the day of Egypt; for without doubt, it will happen.
その日、早足の使者がわたしから出て、何事も知らぬエチオピヤびとを恐れさせる。そしてかのエジプトの滅びの日に、彼らに苦しみが来る。見よ、これはかならず来る。
10 Thus says the Lord God: By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, I will cause the multitude of Egypt to cease.
主なる神はこう言われる、わたしはバビロンの王ネブカデレザルの手によってエジプトの富を滅ぼす。
11 He, and his people with him, the strongest of the Gentiles, will be brought forth in order to destroy the land. And they will draw their swords over Egypt. And they will fill the land with the slain.
彼と彼に従うその民、すなわち国民のうちの最も恐るべき者がきて、その地を滅ぼす。彼らはつるぎを抜いて、エジプトを攻め、殺した者を国に満たす。
12 And I will cause the channels of the rivers to dry up. And I will deliver the land into the hand of the most wicked. And by the hands of foreigners, I will utterly destroy the land and its plenitude. I, the Lord, have spoken.
わたしはナイル川をからし、その国を悪しき者の手に売り、異邦人の手によって国とその中のものとを荒す。主なるわたしはこれを言った。
13 Thus says the Lord God: And I will destroy the graven images, and I will cause the idols of Memphis to cease. And there will no longer be a commander of the land of Egypt. And I will send terror upon the land of Egypt.
主なる神はこう言われる、わたしは偶像をこわし、メンピスで偶像を滅ぼす。エジプトの国には、もはや君たる者がなくなる。わたしはエジプトの国に恐れを与える。
14 And I will destroy the land of Pathros, and I will send a fire upon Tahpanhes, and I will execute judgments in Alexandria.
わたしはパテロスを荒し、ゾアンに火を放ち、テーベにさばきをおこない、
15 And I will pour out my indignation upon Pelusium, the strength of Egypt, and I will kill the multitude of Alexandria.
わたしの怒りを、エジプトの要害であるペルシゥムに注ぎ、テーベの群衆を断ち、
16 And I will send a fire upon Egypt. Pelusium will be in pain, like a woman giving birth. And Alexandria will be utterly destroyed. And in Memphis, there will be anguish every day.
エジプトに火を下す。ペルシゥムはいたく苦しみ、テーベは打ち破られ、その城壁は破壊され、
17 The young men of Heliopolis and Pibeseth will fall by the sword, and the young women will be led into captivity.
オンとピベセテの若者はつるぎに倒れ、女たちは捕え移される。
18 And in Tahpanhes, the day will grow black, when, in that place, I will break the scepters of Egypt. And the arrogance of her authority will fail within her; a gloom will cover her. Then her daughters will be led into captivity.
わたしがエジプトの支配を砕く時、テパネスでは日は暗くなり、その誇る力は絶え、雲はこれをおおい、その娘たちは捕え移される。
19 And I will execute judgments in Egypt. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
このようにわたしはエジプトにさばきを行う。そのとき彼らはわたしが主であることを知る」。
20 And it happened that, in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
第十一年の一月七日に主の言葉がわたしに臨んだ、
21 “Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. And behold, it has not been wrapped, so that it might be restored to health; it has not been bound with cloths, or bandaged with linen, so that, having recovered strength, it would be able to hold the sword.
「人の子よ、わたしはエジプトの王パロの腕を折った。見よ、これは包まれず、いやされず、ほうたいをも施されない。それは強くなって、つるぎを執ることができない。
22 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and I will shatter his strong arm, which has already been broken. And I will cast the sword away from his hand.
それゆえ、主なる神はこう言われる、見よ、わたしはエジプトの王パロを攻め、その強い腕と、折れた腕とを共に折り、その手からつるぎを落させる。
23 And I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and I will scatter them among the lands.
わたしはエジプトびとを、もろもろの国民の中に散らし、国々に散らす。
24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon. And I will put my sword into his hand. And I will break the arms of Pharaoh. And they will groan acutely, when they are slain before his face.
わたしはバビロンの王の腕を強くし、わたしのつるぎを、その手に与える。しかしわたしはパロの腕を折るゆえ、彼は深手を負った者のように、彼の前にうめく。
25 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon. And the arms of Pharaoh will fall. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have given my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and when he will have extended it over the land of Egypt.
わたしがバビロンの王の腕を強くし、パロの腕がたれる時、彼らはわたしが主であることを知る。わたしがわたしのつるぎを、バビロンの王に授け、これをエジプトの国に向かって伸べさせ、
26 And I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and I will scatter them among the lands. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
わたしがエジプトびとを、もろもろの国民の中に散らし、国々に散らす時、彼らはわたしが主であることを知る」。
