< Ezekiel 8 >

1 On the fifth day of the sixth month of the sixth year, I was sitting in my house with the elders of Judah and the power of the Lord God came over me there.
爰に六年の六月五日に我わが家に坐しをりユダの長老等わがまへに坐りゐし時主ヱホバの手われの上に降れり
2 I looked around and saw a being that looked like a man. From what seemed to be his waist downwards, he looked like fire. From what seemed to his waist upwards, he looked like brightly glowing metal.
我すなはち視しに火のごとくに見ゆる形象あり腰より下は火のごとく見ゆ腰より上は光輝て見え燒たる金屬の色のごとし
3 He reached out what seemed to be a hand and picked me up by my hair. The Spirit took me up into the sky, and in the vision God was giving me he carried me to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the Temple's inner courtyard, where the offensive idol that made God angry had been placed.
彼手のごとき者を伸て吾が頭髮を執りしかば靈われを地と天の間に曳あげ神の異象の中に我をヱルサレムに携へゆき北にむかへる内の門の口にいたらしむ其處に嫉妬をおこすところの嫉妬の像たてり
4 I saw the glory of the God of Israel there, just like I had in the vision I'd seen in the valley.
彼處にイスラエルの神の榮光あらはる吾が平原にて見たる異象のごとし
5 “Son of man,” he told me, “now look to the north.” So I looked to the north, and in the entrance to the north of the Altar Gate I saw this idol that angered God.
彼われに言たまふ人の子よ目をあげて北の方をのぞめと我すなはち目をあげて北の方を望むに視よ壇の門の北にあたりてその入口に此嫉妬の像あり
6 “Son of man,” he said to me, “can you see what they are doing? Look at the disgusting sins the people of Israel are committing that are driving me far away from my sanctuary? But you're going to see even more disgusting sins than these!”
彼また我にいひたまふ人の子よ汝かれらが爲ところ即ちイスラエルの家が此にてなすところの大なる憎むべき事を見るや我これがために吾が聖所をはなれて遠くさるべし汝身を轉らせ復大なる憎むべき事等を見ん
7 He took me to the entrance to the Temple courtyard. As I looked around, I saw a hole in the wall.
斯て彼われを領て庭の門にいたりたまふ我見しに其壁に一の穴あり
8 “Son of man,” he told me, “pull the wall apart.” So I pulled the wall apart and found a doorway.
彼われに言たまふ人の子よ壁を穿てよと我すなはち壁を鑿つに一箇の戸あるを視る
9 He told me, “Go through the wall and see the evil and disgusting things they are doing in here.”
茲に彼われにいひ給ひけるは入て彼等が此になすところの惡き憎むべき事等を見よと
10 So I went through the wall and saw carved images covering the walls, representing all kinds of reptiles and disgusting animals, as well as all the idols worshiped by the people of Israel.
便ち入りて見るに諸の爬蟲と憎むべき獸畜の形およびイスラエルの家の諸の偶像その周圍の壁に畵きてあり
11 Seventy elders of the house of Israel were standing in front of them, including Jaazaniah son of Shaphan. They all were holding censers, producing a sweet-smelling cloud of incense that rose above them.
イスラエルの家の長老七十人その前に立てりシヤパンの子ヤザニヤもかれらの中に立ちてあり各手に香爐を執るその香の煙雲のごとくにのぼれり
12 “Son of man,” he said to me, “can you see what the elders of the people of Israel are doing here in the dark, with each one worshiping in the shrine room of his own idol? This is what they're saying: ‘The Lord can't see what we're doing; besides the Lord has abandoned our country!’”
彼われに言たまひけるは人の子よ汝イスラエルの家の長老等が暗におこなふ事即ちかれらが各人その偶像の間におこなふ事を見るや彼等いふヱホバは我儕を見ずヱホバこの地を棄てたりと
13 The Lord went on to tell me, “You're going to see them doing even more disgusting things than these!”
また我に言たまはく汝身を轉らせ復かれらが爲すところの大なる憎むべき事等を見ん
14 Then he took me to the north entrance of the Lord's Temple. I saw women sitting there, weeping for the god Tammuz.
斯て彼我を携てヱホバの家の北の門の入口にいたるに其處に婦女等坐してタンムズのために哭をる
15 “Son of man,” he said to me, “have you seen this? But you're going to see even more disgusting things than these!”
彼われに言たまふ人の子よ汝これを見るや又身を轉らせよ汝これよりも大なる憎むべき事等を見ん
16 He took me to the inner courtyard of the Lord's Temple and right there at the entrance to the Temple, between the porch and the altar, were around twenty-five men. They had their backs to the Temple, and were facing towards the east. They were bowing in worship of the sun rising in the east.
彼また我を携てヱホバの家の内庭にいたるにヱホバの宮の入口にて廊と壇の間に二十五人ばかりの人その後をヱホバの宮にむけ面を東にむけ東にむかひて日の前に身を鞠めをる
17 “Son of man,” he said to me, “have you seen this? The people of Judah aren't content just to do these disgusting things. They also commit violent crimes across the country and keep on making me angry. Look at how they're deliberately insulting me!
彼われに言たまふ人の子よ汝これを見るやユダの家はその此におこなふところの憎むべき事等をもて瑣細き事となすにや亦暴逆を國に充して大に我を怒らす彼等は枝をその鼻につくるなり
18 As a result I will respond in anger. I won't treat them kindly; I won't be merciful to them. Even though they shout loudly for my help, I won't listen to them.”
然ば我また怒をもて事をなさん吾目はかれらを惜み見ず我かれらを憫まじ彼等大聲にわが耳に呼はるとも我かれらに聽じ
