Ezekiel 18
1 The worde of the Lord came vnto me againe, saying,
ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ
2 What meane ye that ye speake this prouerbe, concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers haue eaten sowre grapes, and the childrens teeth are set on edge?
汝等なんぞイスラエルの地に於て此諺語を用ひ父等酸き葡萄を食ひたれば子等の齒齼くと言ふや
3 As I liue, sayth the Lord God, ye shall vse this prouerbe no more in Israel.
主ヱホバいふ我は生く汝等ふたたびイスラエルに於てこの諺語をもちふることなかるべし
4 Beholde, all soules are mine, both the soule of the father, and also the soule of the sonne are mine: the soule that sinneth, it shall die.
夫凡の靈魂は我に屬す父の靈魂も子の靈魂も我に屬するなり罪を犯せる靈魂は死べし
5 But if a man be iust, and doe that which is lawfull, and right,
若人正義して公道と公義を行ひ
6 And hath not eaten vpon the mountaines, neither hath lift vp his eyes to the idoles of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbours wife, neither hath lyen with a menstruous woman,
山の上に食をなさず目をあげてイスラエルの家の偶像を仰がず人の妻を犯さず穢れたる婦女に近づかず
7 Neither hath oppressed any, but hath restored the pledge to his dettour: he that hath spoyled none by violence, but hath giuen his bread to the hungry, and hath couered the naked with a garment,
何人をも虐げず質物を還し物を奪はずその食物を饑る者に與へ裸なる者に衣を着せ
8 And hath not giuen foorth vpon vsurie, neither hath taken any increase, but hath withdrawen his hand from iniquitie, and hath executed true iudgement betweene man and man,
利を取て貸さず息を取ず手をひきて惡を行はず眞實の判斷を人と人の間になし
9 And hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my iudgements to deale truely, he is iust, he shall surely liue, sayth the Lord God.
わが法憲にあゆみ又吾が律例を守りて眞實をおこなはば是義者なり彼は生べし主ヱホバこれを言ふ
10 If he beget a sonne, that is a thiefe, or a sheader of blood, if he do any one of these things,
然ど彼子を生んにその子暴き者にして人の血をながし是の如き事の一箇を行ひ
11 Though he doe not all these things, but either hath eaten vpon the mountaines, or defiled his neighbours wife,
是をば凡て行はずして山の上に食をなし人の妻を犯し
12 Or hath oppressed the poore and needy, or hath spoyled by violence, or hath not restored the pledge, or hath lift vp his eyes vnto the idoles, or hath committed abomination,
惱める者と貧しき者を虐げ物を奪ひ質物を還さず目をあげて偶像を仰ぎ憎むべき事をおこなひ
13 Or hath giuen forth vpon vsurie, or hath taken increase, shall he liue? he shall not liue: seeing he hath done all these abominations, he shall die the death, and his blood shall be vpon him.
利をとりて貸し息を取ば彼は生べきや彼は生べからず彼この諸の憎むべき事をなしたれば必ず死べしその血はかれに歸せん
14 But if he beget a sonne, that seeth all his fathers sinnes, which he hath done, and feareth, neither doeth such like,
又子生れんに其子父のなせる諸の罪を視しかども視て斯有ことを行はず
15 That hath not eaten vpon the mountaines, neither hath lift vp his eyes to the idols of ye house of Israel, nor hath defiled his neighbours wife,
山の上に食をなさず目をあげてイスラエルの家の偶像を仰がず人の妻を犯さず
16 Neither hath oppressed any, nor hath withholden the pledge, neither hath spoyled by violence, but hath giuen his bread to the hungry, and hath couered the naked with a garment,
何人をも虐げず質物を存留めず物を奪はず饑る者にその食物を與へ裸なる者に衣を着せ
17 Neither hath withdrawen his hand from the afflicted, nor receiued vsurie nor increase, but hath executed my iudgements, and hath walked in my statutes, he shall not die in the iniquitie of his father, but he shall surely liue.
その手をひきて惱める者を苦めず利と息を取ずわが律法を行ひわが法度に歩まば彼はその父の惡のために死ことあらじ必ず生べし
18 His father, because he cruelly oppressed and spoyled his brother by violence, and hath not done good among his people, loe, euen he dyeth in his iniquitie.
その父は甚だしく人を掠めその兄弟を痛く虐げその民の中に善らぬ事をなしたるに由てその惡のために死べし
19 Yet say ye, Wherefore shall not the sonne beare the iniquitie of the father? because ye sonne hath executed iudgement and iustice, and hath kept all my statutes, and done them, he shall surely liue,
しかるに汝等は子なんぞ父の惡を負ざるやと言ふ夫子は律法と公義を行ひわが凡ての法度を守りてこれを行ひたれば必ず生べし
20 The same soule that sinneth, shall die: the sonne shall not beare the iniquitie of the father, neither shall the father beare the iniquitie of the sonne, but the righteousnes of the righteous shall be vpon him, and the wickednesse of the wicked shall be vpon him selfe.
罪を犯せる靈魂は死べし子は父の惡を負ず父は子の惡を負ざるなり義人の義はその人に歸し惡人の惡はその人に歸すべし
21 But if the wicked will returne from all his sinnes that he hath committed, and keepe all my statutes, and doe that which is lawfull and right, he shall surely liue, and shall not die.
然ど惡人もしその凡て行ひしところの惡を離れわが諸の法度を守り律法と公義を行ひなばかならず生ん死ざるべし
22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned vnto him, but in his righteousnes that he hath done, he shall liue.
その爲しところの咎は皆記念られざるべしその爲し義き事のために彼は生べし
23 Haue I any desire that the wicked should die, sayth the Lord God? or shall he not liue, if he returne from his wayes?
主ヱホバ言たまふ我爭で惡人の死を好まんや寧彼がその道を離れて生んことを好まざらんや
24 But if the righteous turne away from his righteousnes, and commit iniquitie, and doe according to all the abominations, that the wicked man doeth, shall he liue? all his righteousnes that he hath done, shall not be mentioned: but in his transgression that he hath committed, and in his sinne that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
若義人その義をはなれて惡を行ひ惡人の爲る諸の憎むべき事をなさば生べきや其なせし義き事は皆記念られざるべし彼はその爲る咎とその犯せる罪とのために死べし
25 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equall: heare now, O house of Israel. Is not my way equall? or are not your wayes vnequall?
然るに汝等主の道は正しからずと言ふ然ばイスラエルの家よ聽け吾道正しからざるやその正しからざる者は汝らの道にあらずや
26 For when a righteous man turneth away from his righteousnes, and committeth iniquitie, he shall euen die for the same, he shall euen die for his iniquitie, that he hath done.
若義人その義をはなれて惡を爲し其がために死ることあらば是その爲る惡のために死るなり
27 Againe when the wicked turneth away from his wickednes that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawfull and right, he shall saue his soule aliue.
若惡人その爲る惡をはなれて律法と公義を行はばその靈魂を生しむることをえん
28 Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that hee hath committed, he shall surely liue and shall not die.
彼もし視てその行ひし諸の咎を離れなば必ず生ん死ざるべし
29 Yet saith ye house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equall. O house of Israel, are not my wayes equall? or are not your wayes vnequall?
然るにイスラエルの家は主の道は正しからずといふイスラエルの家よわが道正しからざるやその正しからざる者は汝らの道にあらずや
30 Therefore I will iudge you, O house of Israel, euery one according to his wayes, sayth the Lord God: returne therefore and cause others to turne away from all your transgressions: so iniquitie shall not be your destruction.
主ヱホバいひ給ふ是故に我汝らをば各その道にしたがひて審くべし汝らその諸の咎を悔改めよ然らば惡汝らを躓かせて滅ぼすことなかるべし
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye haue transgressed, and make you a newe heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
汝等その行ひし諸の罪を棄去り新しき心と新しき靈魂を起すべしイスラエルの家よ汝らなんぞ死べけんや
32 For I desire not the death of him that dyeth, sayth the Lord God: cause therefore one another to returne, and liue ye.
我は死者の死を好まざるなり然ば汝ら悔て生よ主ヱホバこれを言ふ
