Ezekiel 24
1 On the tenth day of the tenth month of the ninth year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
九年の十月十日にヱホバの言我にのぞみて言ふ
2 “Son of man, write down today's date, because this is the day that the king of Babylon started his siege of Jerusalem.
人の子よ汝此日すなはち今日の名を書せバビロンの王今日ヱルサレムを攻をるなり
3 Then repeat the following parable to these rebellious people. Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Get a pot and set it on the fire. Pour in some water.
汝背ける家に譬喩をかたりて之に言へ主ヱホバかく言たまふ釜を居ゑ居ゑてこれに水を斟いれ
4 Fill it with some good cuts of meat from the thigh and the shoulder. Put in the best bones.
其肉の凡て佳き所を集めて股と肩とを之に入れ佳き骨をこれに充し
5 Choose the best animal from the flock. Pile up the fuel underneath it. Get it boiling and cook the bones in it.
羊の選擇者を取れ亦薪一束を取り下に入れて骨を煮釜を善く煮たて亦その中の骨を煮よ
6 So this is what the Lord God says: Disaster is coming to the city of that has shed so much blood! It is symbolized by the rusted pot, whose rust can't be cleaned off. Take out the meat bit by bit as it comes—don't choose which piece.
是故に主ヱホバかく言ふ禍なるかな血の流るる邑銹のつきたる釜 その銹これを離れざるなり肉を一箇一箇に取いだせ之がために籤を掣べからず
7 For the blood she shed is still inside the city. She shed it openly on bare rock—she didn't even spill it on the ground and cover it up with dirt.
彼の血はその中にあり彼乾ける磐の上にこれを置りこれを土にそそぎて塵に覆はれしめず
8 In my anger and to punish, I have spilled her blood openly on bare rock, so it wouldn't be covered up.
我怒を來らせ仇を復さんがためにその血を乾ける磐の上に置て塵に覆はれざらしめたり
9 So this is what the Lord God says: Disaster is coming to the city of that has shed so much blood. I will also pile up a large heap of firewood.
是故に主ヱホバかく言ふ禍なるかな血の流るる邑我またその薪の束を大にすべし
10 Put on plenty of wood and light the fire. Make sure the meat is well cooked and add spices. Burn the bones.
薪を積かさね火を燃し肉を善く煮てこれを煮つくしその骨をも燒しむべし
11 Then put the empty pot back on the burning coals until it's hot and the copper metal glows. This will melt the dirt inside it and get rid of the rust.
而して釜を空にして炭火の上に置きその銅をして熱くなりて燒しめ其汚穢をして中に鎔しめその銹を去しむべし
12 So far it's been impossible to clean it —even fire couldn't burn out all its rust.
旣に手を盡したれどもその大なる銹さらざればその銹を火に投棄べし
13 Because of your immorality you had made yourself unclean and I tried to clean you, but you refused to let me clean away your filth. So now you won't be pure again until I've finished being angry with you.
汝の汚穢の中に淫行あり我汝を淨めんとしたれども汝淨まらざりしに因てわが怒を汝に洩しつくすまでは汝その汚穢をはなれて淨まることあらじ
14 I, the Lord, have spoken. The time is soon coming when I will do what I say. I won't change my mind or show pity, I won't stop. I will judge you by your attitude and actions, declares the Lord God.”
我ヱホバこれを言り是至る我これを爲べし止ず惜まず悔ざるなり汝の道にしたがひ汝の行爲にしたがひて彼ら汝を鞫かん主ヱホバこれを言ふ
15 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
ヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ
16 “Son of man, look, I'm about to take away the one you love the most. She will die. But you must not mourn or weep. Don't cry any tears.
人の子よ我頓死をもて汝の目の喜ぶ者を取去ん汝哀かず泣ず涙をながすべからず
17 Mourn in silence. Don't have any rituals for the dead. Dress normally—have your turban on and put your sandals on your feet. Don't veil your face and don't eat the bread used by mourners.”
聲をたてずして哀け死人のために哀哭をなすなかれ冠物を戴き足に鞋を穿べし鬚を掩ふなかれ人のおくれる食物を食ふべからず
18 I talked to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening. The next morning I did as I'd been told.
朝に我人々に語りしが夕にわが妻死ねり明朝におよびて我命ぜられしごとくなせり
19 The people asked me, “What are you doing? Aren't you going to explain to us what this means?”
茲に人々我に言けるは此汝がなすところの事は何の意なるや我らに告ざるや
20 So I told them, “A message from the Lord came to me, saying:
我かれらに言けるはヱホバの言我にのぞみて言ふ
21 Tell the people of Israel that this is what the Lord God says: I am about to make my sanctuary unclean, this place you're so proud of that you think gives you power, the place you love so much, the place that makes you happy. Your sons and daughters that you left behind will be killed by the sword.
イスラエルの家にいふべし主ヱホバかく言ふ視よ我汝らの勢力の榮汝らの目の喜愛汝らの心の望なるわが聖所を汚さん汝らが遺すところの子女等は劍に仆れん
22 Then you'll do what I did. You won't veil your face or eat the bread used by mourners.
汝らもわが爲るごとくなし鬚を覆はず人のおくれる食物を食はず
23 You will keep your turbans on your heads and your sandals on your feet. You won't mourn or weep, but you will die inside because of your sins, and you will groan to one another.
首に冠物を戴き足に履を穿き哀かず泣ずその罪の中に痩衰へて互に呻かん
24 In this way Ezekiel will be a sign for you; you will do everything that he did. When this happens, then you will know that I am the Lord God.
斯エゼキエル汝らに兆とならん彼がなしたるごとく汝ら爲ん是事の至らん時に汝ら我の主ヱホバなるを知べし
25 You, son of man, should know that when I destroy their fortress that is their pride and joy, the place they looked to for comfort and happiness —and their sons and daughters too—
人の子よわが彼らの力かれらの樂むところの榮その目の喜愛その心の望その子女を取去る日
26 when that happens someone who managed to get away will come and give you the news.
その日に逃亡者汝の許に來り汝の耳に告ることあらん
27 On that day you will be able to speak; you won't be mute any longer. This is how you will be a sign to them, and they will know that I am the Lord.”
その日に汝逃亡者にむかひて口を啓き語りて再び默せざらん斯汝かれらに兆となるべし彼らは遂に我のヱホバなるを知ん
