Ezekiel 26
1 On the first day of the month of the eleventh year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
第十一年の第一日に主の言葉がわたしに臨んだ、
2 “Son of man, because Tyre said about Jerusalem, ‘Oh good! The trade gateway to the nations has been broken—it's swung wide open for me. Now that Jerusalem has been destroyed, I will be rich!’
「人の子よ、ツロはエルサレムについて言った、『ああ、それはよい気味である。もろもろの民の門は破れて、わたしに開かれた。わたしは豊かになり、彼は破れはてた』と。
3 this is why the Lord God says: Watch out, Tyre! I'm condemning you, and I will have many nations come and attack you, just like the sea that sends its waves crashing against the shore.
それゆえ、主なる神はこう言われる、ツロよ、わたしはあなたを攻め、海がその波を起すように、わたしは多くの国民を、あなたに攻めこさせる。
4 They will destroy the walls of Tyre and tear down her towers. I will scrape off the soil that's on her and turn her into a bare rock.
彼らはツロの城壁をこわし、そのやぐらを倒す。わたしはその土を払い去って、裸の岩にする。
5 Out there in the sea she will be just a place for fishermen to spread their nets. I have spoken, declares the Lord God. Other nations will come and loot her,
ツロは海の中にあって、網をはる場所になる。これはわたしが言ったのであると、主なる神は言われる。ツロは、もろもろの民にかすめられ、
6 and the people living in her villages on the mainland will die by the sword. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
その本土におる娘たちは、つるぎで殺される。そして彼らは、わたしが主であることを知るようになる。
7 For this is what the Lord God says: Watch as I bring Nebuchadnezzar, king of kings, to attack Tyre from the north. He will come with horses, chariots, cavalry, and a huge army.
主なる神はこう言われる、見よ、わたしは王の王なるバビロンの王ネブカデレザルに、馬、戦車、騎兵、および多くの軍勢をひきいて、北からツロに攻めこさせる。
8 He will kill the people living in your villages of the mainland with the sword. He will construct siege works to attack you. He will build a ramp against your walls, and his soldiers will hold their shields above them as they advance on you.
彼は本土におるあなたの娘たちを、つるぎで殺し、あなたに向かって雲悌を建て、塁を築き、盾を備え、
9 He will have his battering rams smash your walls and use his tools to demolish your towers.
城くずしをあなたの城壁に向け、おのであなたのやぐらを打ち砕く。
10 He will have so many horses you will be covered by the dust they throw up. When he comes in through your gates it will sound like an army charging into a defeated city. Your walls will shake from all the noise made by the cavalry, wagons, and chariots.
その多くの馬の土煙は、あなたをおおう。人が破れた町にはいるように、彼があなたの門にはいる時、騎兵と貨車と戦車の響きによって、あなたの石がきはゆるぐ。
11 His horses will race through your city streets. He will kill all your people with the sword. Your massive pillars will come tumbling to the ground.
彼はその馬のひずめで、あなたのすべてのちまたを踏みあらし、つるぎであなたの民を殺す。あなたの力強い柱は地に倒れる。
12 They will steal your wealth and loot your goods. They will knock down your walls, demolish the houses you love so much, and dump the debris and rubble into the sea.
彼らはあなたの財宝を奪い、商品をかすめ、城壁をくずし、楽しい家をこわし、石と木と土とを水の中に投げ込む。
13 This is how I'm going to put a stop to your singing. The music of your harps won't be heard any longer.
わたしはあなたの歌の声をとどめる。琴の音はもはや聞えなくなる。
14 I will turn you into a bare rock, and you will be just a place for fishermen to spread their nets. Tyre won't ever be rebuilt. I, the Lord, have spoken, declares the Lord God.
わたしはあなたを裸の岩にする。あなたは網を張る場所となり、再び建てられることはない。主なるわたしがこれを言ったと、主なる神は言われる。
15 This is what the Lord God says to the inhabitants of Tyre: Aren't the people of the coastlands going to shake in terror when they hear your city collapse, when the wounded groan at the killing inside your city?
主なる神はツロにこう言われる、海沿いの国々はあなたの倒れる響き、手負いのうめき、あなたのうちの殺人のゆえに、身震いしないであろうか。
16 All the rulers of the coastlands will come down from their thrones, remove their royal robes, and take off their embroidered clothes. Instead they will be clothed with terror and sit on the ground, trembling the whole time, shocked at what's happened to you.
その時、海の君たちは皆その位からおり、朝服を脱ぎ、縫い取りの衣服を取り去り、恐れを身にまとい、地に座して、いたく恐れ、あなたの事を驚き、
17 Then they will sing a funeral song for you, saying, ‘You've been destroyed so completely, famous city! You once ruled the sea—you and your people terrified everyone else!
あなたのために悲しみの歌をのべて言う、『あなたは海にあって、強い誉ある町、本土に恐れを与えていたあなたも、その住民も、海から消え去った。
18 Now the people of the coastlands tremble at your defeat, while those in the islands of the sea are horrified at your downfall.’
島々はあなたの倒れる日に身震いする。海の島々はあなたの去り行くことを見て驚く』。
19 For this is what the Lord God says: I will turn you into a ruin just like other uninhabited cities. I will have the sea rise up to cover you with deep water.
主なる神はこう言われる、わたしはあなたを、荒れた町となし、住む者のない町のようにし、淵をあなたに向かってわきあがらせ、大水にあなたをおおわせる時、
20 I will bring you down with those who are headed to the grave to join people from long ago. I will make you live under the earth like the ruins of the past together with those who have gone down into the grave, so that no one will live in you and you won't have any place in the land of the living.
あなたを穴に下る者どもと共に、昔の民の所に下し、穴に下る者と共に下の国に、昔のままの荒れ跡の中に、あなたを住ませる。それゆえ、あなたは人の住む所とならず、また生ある者の地に所を得ない。
21 I will turn you into something horrific, and you won't exist any longer. People will look for you, but won't ever find you, declares the Lord God.”
わたしはあなたの終りを、恐るべきものとする。あなたは無に帰する。あなたを尋ねる人があっても、永久に見いださないと、主なる神は言われる」。
