< Ezekiel 23 >
1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
ヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ
2 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother;
人の子よ爰に二人の婦女あり一人の母の女子なり
3 And they played the harlot in Egypt; in their youth they played the harlot: there were their breasts pressed, and there they suffered their virgin bosoms to be touched.
彼等エジプトにおいて淫を行ひその少き時に淫を行へり即ち彼處において人かれらの乳を拈り彼處においてその處女の乳房に觸る
4 And their names were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister; but they became mine, and they bore sons and daughters: and their names are, Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem, Aholibah.
その名は姊はアホラ妹はアホリバと云ふ彼ら我に歸して男子女子を生り彼らの本名はアホラはサマリヤと言ひアホリバはヱルサレムと云ふなり
5 And Aholah played the harlot while she was mine; and she longed for her lovers, for the Assyrians that were near [her],
アホラは我有たる間に淫を行ひてその戀人等に焦れたり是すなはちその隣なるアツスリヤ人にして
6 Clothed [as they were] in blue, governors, and rulers, attractive youths all of them, horsemen riding upon horses.
紫の衣を着る者牧伯たる者督宰たる者なり是等は皆美麗き秀でたる人馬に乗る者なり
7 Thus she played the harlot with them, all of them the chosen ones of the sons of Asshur: and with all for whom she longed, —with all their idols did she defile herself.
彼凡てアツスリヤの秀でたる者と淫を行ひ且その焦れたる諸の者すなはちその諸の偶像をもてその身を汚せり
8 But also her lewdness from Egypt forsook she not; for they had lain with her in her youth, and they had touched her virgin bosom, and had lavished their lewd caresses on her.
彼またエジプトよりの淫行を捨ざりき即ち彼の少き時に彼ら彼と寢ねその處女の乳房にさはりその淫慾を彼の身の上に洩せり
9 Therefore did I give her up into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the sons of Asshur, after whom she longed.
是故に我彼をその戀人の手に付しその焦れたるアツスリヤの子孫の手に付せり
10 These were they that laid open her nakedness; her sons and her daughters did they take away, and her they slew with the sword: and she became infamous among women, when they inflicted the decreed punishments on her.
是に於て彼等かれの陰所を露しその子女を奪ひ劍をもて彼を殺して婦人の中にその名を聞えしめその身の上に鞫を行へり
11 And when her sister Aholibah saw this, she became more corrupt in her longing than she, and in her lewd acts more than her sister's lewdness.
彼の妹アホリバこれを見彼よりも甚だしくその慾を縱恣にしその姊の淫行よりもましたる淫行をなし
12 For the sons of Asshur did she long, the governors and rulers that were near, clothed as they were most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, attractive youths all of them.
その隣なるアツスリヤの人々に戀焦れたり彼らはすなはち牧伯たる者 督宰たる者 華美に粧ひたる者 馬に騎る者にして皆美しき秀でたる者なり
13 Then saw I that she was defiled, that they followed both one way.
我かれがその身を汚せしを見たり彼らは共に一の途をあゆめり
14 But she added still more to her acts of lewdness; for when she saw men engraved upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with color,
彼その淫行を増り彼壁に彫つけたる人々を見たり是すなはち朱をもて壁に彫つけたるカルデヤ人の像にして
15 Bound with girdles on their loins, with hanging down colored turbans on their heads, in appearance like commanders, all of them, in the likeness of the sons of Babylon of the Chaldeans, the land of their birth:
腰には帶を結び首には垂さがれる帓巾を戴けり是等は皆君王たる者の形ありてその生れたる國なるカルデヤのバビロン人に似たり
16 Then did she long for them as soon as she saw them with her eyes, and she sent messengers unto them to Chaldea.
彼その目に是等を見てこれに戀焦れ使者をカルデヤにおくりて之にいたらしむ
17 And the sons of Babylon came to her unto the couch of love, and they defiled her with their lewd caresses; and [yet] when she had been defiled with them, she tore her soul away from them.
是に於てバビロンの人々彼の許にきたりて戀の床に就きその淫行をもて彼を汚したりしが彼らにその身を汚さるるにおよびて彼その心にかれらを疎んず
18 And when she had laid open her lewdness, and had uncovered her nakedness: then my soul tore itself away from her, as my soul had torn itself away from her sister.
彼その淫行を露しその陰所を顯したれば我心彼を疎んず吾心かれの姊を疎んじたるがごとし
19 Yet she multiplied her deeds of lewdness, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, when she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
彼その淫行を増しその少き日にエジプトに於て淫をおこなひし事を憶え
20 And she longed for her paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose lustfulness is like the lustfulness of horses.
彼らの戀人に焦るその人の肉は驢馬の肉のごとく其精は馬の精のごとし
21 And thou calledst to mind the incest of thy youth, when thy bosom was touched by the Egyptians for the sake of thy youthful breasts.
汝は己の少き時にエジプト人が汝の處女の乳房のために汝の乳にさはりたる時の淫行を顧みるなり
22 Therefore, O Aholibah, thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will wake up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul hath torn itself away, and I will bring them against thee from every side;
この故に主ヱホバかく言ふアホリバよ我汝が心に疎んずるに至りしところの戀人等を激して汝を攻しめ彼らをして四方より汝に攻きたらしむべし
23 The sons of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa and Koa, and all the sons of Asshur with them, attractive youths, governors and rulers all of them, commanders and chiefs, riding upon horses all of them.
即ちバビロンの人々およびカルデヤの諸の人々ペコデ、シヨワ、コア並にアツスリヤの諸の人々美しき秀でたる人々牧伯等および督宰等 大君および名高き人 凡て馬に騎る者
24 And they shall come over thee with weapons, chariots, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, buckler and shield and helmet shall they set up against thee round about: and I will give up before them the right to judge, and they shall judge thee according to their ordinances.
鋒車および輪を持ち衆多の民をひきゐて汝に攻め來り大楯小楯および兜をそなへて四方より汝に攻かからん我裁判をかれらに委ぬべし彼らすなはち其律法によりて汝を鞫かん
25 And I will set my zealousness against thee, and they shall deal with thee in fury; thy nose and thy ears shall they cut off; and what is left of thee shall fall by the sword: thy sons and thy daughters shall they take away; and what is left of thee shall be devoured by the fire.
我汝にむかひてわが嫉妬を發すれば彼ら怒をもて汝を待ひ汝の鼻と耳を切とるべし汝のうちの存れる者は劍に仆れん彼ら汝の子女を奪ふべし汝の中の殘れる者は火に燒ん
26 And they shall strip thee of thy clothes, and take away thy ornamental attire.
彼ら汝の衣を剝脱り汝の美しき妝飾を取べし
27 Thus will I make thy incest to cease from thee, and thy lewdness brought from the land of Egypt: and thou shalt not lift up thy eyes unto them, and Egypt shalt thou not remember any more.
我汝の淫行を除き汝がエジプトの地より行ひ來れるところの邪淫を除き汝をして重て彼らに目をつけざらしめ再びエジプトの事を憶はざらしめん
28 For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will give thee up into the hand of those whom thou hatest, into the hand of those from whom thy soul hath torn itself away;
主ヱホバかく言ふ視よ我汝が惡む者の手汝が心に疎ずる者の手に汝を付せば
29 And they shall deal with thee in hate, and shall take away all [things acquired by] thy labor, and they shall leave thee naked and bare: and thus shall be uncovered the nakedness of thy lewdness, and thy incest and thy lewd deeds.
彼ら怨憎をもて汝を待ひ汝の得たる物を盡く取り汝を赤裸に成おくべし是をもて汝が淫をおこなヘる陰所露にならん汝の淫行と邪淫もしかり
30 I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone with vile lust after the nations, because thou hast defiled thyself with their idols.
汝異邦人を慕ひて淫をおこなひ彼らの偶像をもて身を汚したるに由て是等の事汝におよぶなり
31 On the way of thy sister hast thou walked; therefore will I place her cup into thy hand.
汝その姊の途に歩みたれば我かれの杯を汝の手に交す
32 Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, The cup of thy sister shalt thou drink, the deep and wide one: thou shalt become to be laughed to scorn and to be held in derision, more than thou canst bear.
主ヱホバかく言ふ汝その姊の深き大なる杯を飮べし是は笑と嘲を充す者なり
33 With drunkenness and sorrow shalt thou be filled, [out of] the cup of astonishment and confusion, the cup of thy sister Samaria.
醉と憂汝に滿ちん汝の姊サマリヤの杯は駭異と滅亡の杯なり
34 Thou shalt even drink it and drain it out, and thou shalt break in pieces its fragments, and tear thy own breasts; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Eternal.
汝これを飮み乾しこれを吸つくしその碎片を咬み汝の乳房を摘去ん我これを言ふと主ヱホバ言ふ
35 Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back: therefore bear thou also thy incest and thy acts of lewdness.
然ば主ヱホバかく言ふ汝我を忘れ我を後に棄たれば汝またその淫行と邪淫の罪を負べし
36 The Lord said moreover unto me, Son of man, wilt thou call Aholah and Aholibah to account? then tell them of their abominations;
斯てヱホバ我にいひたまふ人の子よ汝アホラとアホリバを鞫かんとするや然らば彼らにその憎むべき事等を示せ
37 That they have committed adultery, and there is blood on their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and also their sons whom they had born unto me have they caused to pass for them through [the fire], to devour them.
夫彼らは姦淫をおこなへり又血その手にあり彼らその偶像と姦淫をおこなひ又その我に生たる男子等に火の中をとほらしめてこれを燒り
38 Moreover this have they done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary on the same day, and my sabbaths have they profaned.
加之また是をなせり即ち彼ら同日にわが聖處を汚しわが安息日を犯せり
39 And when they had slain their children to their idols, then came they into my sanctuary on the same day to profane it: and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of my house.
彼らその偶像のために男子等を宰りしその日にわが聖處に來りてこれを汚し斯わが家の中に事をなせり
40 And farthermore yet, because they sent for men who were to come from afar, unto whom messengers were sent; and, lo, they came, for whom thou didst bathe thyself, paint thy eyes, and deck thyself with ornaments;
且又彼らは使者をやりて遠方より人を招きて至らしむ其人々のために汝身を洗ひ目を畵き妝飾を着け
41 And thou didst sit upon a stately bed, with a table spread before it, and my incense and my oil didst thou set upon it.
華美なる床に坐し臺盤をその前に備へその上にわが香とわが膏を置り
42 And the shout of a peaceful joyous multitude was [heard] within her; and with the men of the masses of the common people were brought Sabeans from the wilderness; and these women placed bracelets on their hands, and crowns of glory upon their heads.
斯て群衆の喧噪その中に靜りしがその多衆の人々の上にまた曠野よりサバ人を招き寄たり彼らは手に腕環をはめ首に美しき冠を戴けり
43 Then thought I of her that was worn out in adulteries, Will they now [still] commit lewdness with her, when she [is thus]?
我かの姦淫のために衰弱たる女の事を云り今は早彼の姦淫その姦淫をなしをはらんかと
44 But men went in unto her, as they go in unto a faithless wife: thus went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the incestuous women.
彼らは遊女の所にいるごとくに彼の所に入たり斯かれらすなはち淫婦アホラとアホリバの所に入ぬ
45 Righteous men, however—these shall judge them as adulteresses are judged, and as women that shed blood are judged; because adulteresses are they, and blood is on their hands.
義人等姦婦の律法に照し故殺の律法に照して彼らを鞫かん彼らは姦婦にしてまたその手に血あればなり
46 For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I will bring up against them an assemblage of men, and I will give them up to ill-usage and plunder.
主ヱホバかく言ふ我群衆を彼等に攻きたらしめ彼らを是に付して虐と掠にあはしめん
47 And the assemblage shall stone them with stones, and cut them down with their swords: their sons and their daughters shall they slay, and their houses shall they burn with fire.
群衆かれらを石にて撃ち劍をもて斬りその子女を殺し火をもてその家を燒べし
48 Thus will I cause incest to cease out of the land, that all women may be warned by example, and not do after your incestuous course.
斯我この地に邪淫を絕さん婦女みな自ら警めて汝らのごとくに邪淫をおこなはざるべし
49 And they shall lay your incest upon you, and the sins of your idols shall ye bear: and ye shall know that I am the Lord Eternal.
彼ら汝らの邪淫の罪を汝らに報いん汝らはその偶像の罪を負ひ而して我の主ヱホバなるを知にいたるべし
