Ezekiel 8

1 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, that I was sitting in my house, and the elders of Judah were sitting before me; and there fell upon me there the inspiration of the Lord Eternal.

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 And I saw, and, behold, there was a likeness similar to the appearance of fire; from the appearance of his loins downward, it was fire; and from his loins upward, it was similar to the appearance of a bright light, like the glitter of amber.

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 And he stretched forth the form of a hand, and took me by the locks of my head; and a spirit bore me between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north, where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to wrath.

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 And, behold, there was the glory of the God of Israel, like the appearance which I had 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 And he said unto me, Son of man, do but lift up thy eyes in the direction toward the north. So I lifted up my eyes in the direction toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar [there was] this image of jealousy at the entrance.

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 Then said he unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they are doing? great abominations are they that the house of Israel commit here, to make me go far away from my sanctuary; but thou shalt yet see still other great abominations.

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 And he brought me to the door of the court: and I looked, and behold there was 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 Then said he unto me, Son of man, do break [an opening] in the wall: and I broke [an opening] in the wall, and, behold, there was a door.

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 And he said unto me, Go in, and see the wicked abominations which they are doing 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 in and saw; and behold there was every form of creeping things, and cattle, abominations, and all the idols of the house of Israel, engraven upon the wall all round about.

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 And seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and Yaazanyahu the son of Shaphan standing in the midst of them, were standing before them, and every man had his censer in his hand; and a thick curling cloud of incense was ascending upward.

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 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the dark, every man in his image-chambers? for they say, The Lord seeth us not: the Lord hath forsaken the earth.

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 And he said unto me, Thou shalt yet again see still other great abominations that they are doing.

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 And he brought me to the entrance of the gate of the Lord's house which was on the north side: and, behold, there sat the women weeping for Thammuz.

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 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Thou shalt yet again see still other greater abominations 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 And he brought me into the inner court of the Lord's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they were prostrating themselves eastward to the sun.

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 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it too light a thing for the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and they constantly repeat to provoke me to anger; and, lo, they stretch forth the branch to their nose.

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 Therefore I also will deal in fury; my eye shall not look with pity, and I will not spare: and though they call before my ears with a loud voice, will I still not hear 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
