Ezekiel 15

1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

ヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ

2 “Son of man, What is the vine-tree more than any tree? The vine-branch that has been, Among trees of the forest?

人の子よ葡萄の樹森の中にあるところの葡萄の枝なんぞ他の樹に勝るところあらんや

3 Is wood taken from it to use for work? Do they take a pin of it to hang any vessel on it?

其木物をつくるに用ふべけんや又人これを用ひて器をかくる木釘を造らんや

4 Behold, it has been given to the fire for fuel, The fire has eaten its two ends, And its midst has been scorched! Is it profitable for work?

視よ是は火に投いれられて燃ゆ火もしその兩の端を燒くあり又その中間焦たらば爭でか物をつくるに勝べけんや

5 Behold, in its being perfect it is not used for work, How much less when fire has eaten of it, And it is scorched, Has it been used yet for work?”

是はその全かる時すらも物を造るに用ふべからざれば况て火のこれを焚焦したる時には爭で物をつくるに用ふべけんや

6 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “As the vine-tree among trees of the forest, That I have given to the fire for fuel, So I have given the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

是故に主ヱホバかく言たまふ我森の樹の中なる葡萄の樹を火になげいれて焚く如くにヱルサレムの民をも然するなり

7 And I have set My face against them, They have gone forth from the fire, And the fire consumes them, And you have known that I [am] YHWH, In My setting My face against them.

我面をかれらに向けて攻む彼らは火の中より出たれども火なほこれを燒つくすべし我面をかれらにむけて攻むる時に汝らは我のヱホバなるをしらん

8 And I have made the land a desolation, Because they have committed a trespass,” A declaration of Lord YHWH!

彼等悖逆る事をおこなひしに由て我かの地を荒地となすべし主ヱホバこれを言ふ
