< Ezekiel 32 >

1 And it happened that, in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
第十二年の十二月一日に、主の言葉がわたしに臨んだ、
2 “Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and you shall say to him: You are like the lion of the Gentiles, and like the dragon that is in the sea. And you brandished a horn among your rivers, and you disturbed the waters with your feet, and you trampled upon their rivers.
「人の子よ、エジプトの王パロのために、悲しみの歌をのべて、これに言え、あなたは自分をもろもろの国民のうちのししであると考えているが、あなたは海の中の龍のような者である。あなたは川の中に、はね起き、足で水をかきまぜ、川を濁す。
3 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: I will spread my net over you, with the multitude of many peoples, and I will draw you into my dragnet.
主なる神はこう言われる、わたしは多くの民の集団をもって、わたしの網をあなたに投げかけ、あなたを網で引きあげる。
4 And I will throw you upon the land. I will cast you upon the surface of the field. And I will cause all the birds of the air to live upon you. And I will satiate the beasts of the entire earth with you.
わたしはあなたを地に投げ捨て、野の面に投げうち、空のすべての鳥をあなたの上にとまらせ、全地の獣にあなたを与えて飽かせる。
5 And I will place your flesh upon the mountains. And I will fill up your hills with your decaying flesh.
わたしはあなたの肉を山々に捨て、あなたの死体で谷を満たす。
6 And I will irrigate the earth with your rotting blood upon the mountains. And the valleys will be filled with you.
わたしはあなたの流れる血で、地を潤し、山々にまで及ぼす。谷川はあなたの死体で満ちる。
7 And I will cover heaven, when you will have been extinguished. And I will cause its stars to grow dark. I will shroud the sun with gloom, and the moon will not give her light.
わたしはあなたを滅ぼす時、空をおおい、星を暗くし、雲で日をおおい、月に光を放たせない。
8 I will cause all the lights of heaven to grieve over you. And I will bring darkness upon your land, says the Lord God, when your wounded will have fallen in the midst of the land, says the Lord God.
わたしは空の輝く光を、ことごとくあなたの上に暗くし、あなたの国をやみとすると主なる神は言う。
9 And I will provoke the heart of many peoples to anger, when I will have led in your destruction among the Gentiles, over the lands that you have not known.
わたしはもろもろの国民、あなたの知らない国々の中に、あなたを捕え移す時、多くの民の心を痛ませる。
10 And I will cause many peoples to be stupefied over you. And their kings will be afraid, with great horror, over you, when my sword will begin to fly above their faces. And suddenly, they will be struck with astonishment, each one concerning his own life, on the day of their ruination.
わたしはあなたについて、多くの民を驚かせる。その王たちは、わたしがわたしのつるぎを、彼らの前に振るう時、あなたの事でおののく。あなたの倒れる日には、彼らはおのおの自分の命を思って、絶えず打ち震える。
11 For thus says the Lord God: The sword of the king of Babylon will come to you.
主なる神はこう言われる、バビロンの王のつるぎはあなたに臨む。
12 By the swords of the strong, I will cast down your multitude. All these nations are invincible, and they will lay waste to the arrogance of Egypt, and so its multitude will be destroyed.
わたしはあなたの民衆を勇士のつるぎに倒れさせる。彼らは皆、もろもろの国民の中で、最も恐れられている者たちである。彼らはエジプトの誇を断つ、エジプトの民衆は皆滅ぼされる。
13 And I will perish all its cattle, which were above the many waters. And the foot of man will no longer disturb them, and the hoof of cattle will no longer trouble them.
わたしはその家畜をことごとく、多くの水のかたわらから滅ぼす。人の足は再びこれを濁さず、家畜のひずめもこれを乱さない。
14 Then I will cause their waters to be very pure, and their rivers to be like oil, says the Lord God,
その時わたしはその水を清くし、その川々を油のように流れさせると、主なる神は言う。
15 when I will have set the land of Egypt in desolation. And the land will be deprived of her plenitude, when I will have struck all its inhabitants. And they shall know that I am the Lord.
わたしはエジプトの国を荒し、その国に満ちるものが、ことごとく取り去られる時、わたしがその中に住む者をことごとく撃つ時、彼らはわたしが主であることを知る。
16 This is the lamentation. And they shall lament it. The daughters of the Gentiles shall lament it. They shall lament it over Egypt and over its multitude, says the Lord God.”
これは悲しみの歌である。人々はこれを歌い、もろもろの国の娘たちはこれを歌う。すなわちエジプトと、そのすべての民衆とのために、これを歌うのであると、主なる神は言われる」。
17 And it happened that, in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth of the month, the word of the Lord came to me saying:
第十二年の一月十五日に、主の言葉がわたしに臨んだ、
18 “Son of man, sing mournfully over the multitude of Egypt. And cast her down, both her and the daughters of the robust nations, to the lowest part of the earth, with those who descend into the pit.
「人の子よ、エジプトの民衆のために嘆き、これと大いなる国々の娘らとを、下の国に投げ下し、穴に下った者のところに至らせよ。
19 Whom do you exceed in beauty? Descend and sleep with the uncircumcised!
『あなたの美はだれにまさっているか。下って、割礼を受けない者と共に伏せよ』。
20 They will fall by the sword in the midst of the slain. The sword has been given. They have dragged her down, with all her people.
彼らはつるぎに殺される者のうちに倒れる。その民衆はこれと共に伏せる。
21 The most powerful among the strong will speak to him from the midst of hell, those who descended with his helpers and who went to sleep uncircumcised, slain by the sword. (Sheol h7585)
勇士の首領はその助け手と共に、陰府の中から彼らに言う、『割礼を受けない者、つるぎに殺された者は下って伏している』と。 (Sheol h7585)
22 Assur is in that place, with all his multitude. Their graves are all around him: all of the slain and those who fell by the sword.
アッスリヤとその仲間とはその所におり、その墓はこれを囲む。彼らはみな殺された者、またつるぎに倒れた者である。
23 Their graves have been placed in the lowest parts of the pit. And his multitude was stationed on all sides of his grave: all of the slain, and those who fell by the sword, who formerly spread terror in the land of the living.
彼らの墓は穴の奥に設けられ、その仲間はその墓の周囲にあり、これはみな殺された者、つるぎに倒れた者、生ける者の地に恐れを起した者である。
24 Elam is in that place, with all his multitude, on all sides of his grave, all those who were slain or who fell by the sword, who descended uncircumcised to the lowest part of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living. And they have borne their disgrace, with those who descend into the pit.
その所にエラムがおり、その民衆は皆、その墓の周囲におる。彼らはみな殺された者、つるぎに倒れた者、割礼を受けないで、下の国に下った者、生ける者の地に、恐れを起した者で、穴に下る者と共に、恥を負うのである。
25 They have appointed him a place to lie among all his people, in the midst of the slain. Their graves are all around him. All these are uncircumcised and were slain by the sword. For they spread their terror in the land of the living, and they have borne their disgrace, with those who descend into the pit. They have been stationed in the midst of the slain.
彼らはそのすべての民衆と共に、殺された者の中に床を置き、その墓はこれを囲む。これは皆、割礼を受けない者、つるぎに殺された者、生ける者の地に恐れを起した者で、穴に下る者と共に恥を負う。彼らは殺された者の中に置かれている。
26 Meshech and Tubal are in that place, with all their multitude. Their graves are all around him: all these are uncircumcised, and they were slain and fell by the sword. For they spread their terror in the land of the living.
その所にメセクとトバル、およびすべての民衆がおる。その墓はこれを囲む。彼らは皆、割礼を受けない者で、つるぎで殺された者である。生ける者の地に恐れを起したからである。
27 But they shall not sleep with the strong, and with those who also fell uncircumcised, who descended to hell with their weapons, and who placed their swords under their heads, while their iniquities were in their bones. For they were the terror of the strong in the land of the living. (Sheol h7585)
彼らは昔の倒れた勇士と共に伏さない。これらの勇士は、武具を持って陰府に下り、つるぎをまくらとし、その盾は骨の上にある。これは勇士の恐れが、生ける者の地にあったからである。 (Sheol h7585)
28 Therefore, you also will be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and you will sleep with those who were slain by the sword.
あなたは割礼を受けない者のうちに、つるぎで殺された者と共に横たわる。
29 Idumea is in that place, with her kings and all her commanders, who with their army have been given to those who were slain by the sword. And they have slept with the uncircumcised and with those who descend into the pit.
その所にエドムとその王たちと、そのすべての君たちがおる。彼らはその力を持つにもかかわらず、かのつるぎで殺された者と共に横たえられ、割礼を受けない者および穴に下る者と共に伏している。
30 All the leaders of the north are in that place, with all the hunters, who were brought down with the slain, fearful and confounded in their strength, who have gone to sleep uncircumcised, with those who were slain by the sword. And they have borne their disgrace, with those who descend into the pit.
その所に北の君たち、およびシドンびとが皆おる。彼らは自分の力によって恐れを起したので、殺された者と共に恥を受けて、下って行った者である。彼らはつるぎで殺された者と共に、割礼を受けずに伏し、穴に下る者と共に恥を負う。
31 Pharaoh saw them, and he was consoled over all his multitude, which was slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his army, says the Lord God.
パロは彼らを見る時、そのすべての民衆について慰められる。パロとそのすべての軍勢とは、つるぎで殺されると、主なる神は言われる。
32 For I have spread my terror in the land of the living, and he has gone to sleep in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who were slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord God.”
彼は生ける者の国に恐れを広げた。それゆえ、パロとすべての民衆とは、割礼を受けない者のうちにあって、つるぎで殺された者と共に伏すと、主なる神は言われる」。
