Ezekiel 19
1 “And you, lift up a lamentation to princes of Israel,
汝イスラエルの君等のために哀の詞をのべて
2 and you have said: What [is] your mother? A lioness, She has crouched down among lions, She has multiplied her whelps in the midst of young lions.
言ふべし汝の母なる牝獅は何故に牡獅の中に伏し小獅の中にその子を養ふや
3 And she brings up one of her whelps, He has been a young lion, And he learns to tear prey, He has devoured man.
彼その一の子を育てたれば小獅となりて食を攫ことを學ひ遂に人を食へり
4 And nations hear of him, He has been caught in their pit, And they bring him to the land of Egypt in chains.
國々の人これの事を聞きこれを陷阱にて執へ鼻環をほどこしてこれをエジプトの地にひきいたれり
5 And as she waited she sees that her hope has perished, And she takes one of her whelps, She has made him a young lion.
牝獅姑く待しがその望を失ひしを見たれば又一個の子を取てこれを小獅とならしむ
6 And he goes up and down in the midst of lions, He has been a young lion, And he learns to tear prey, He has devoured man.
是すなはち牝獅の中に歩みて小獅となり食を攫ことを學ひしが亦人を食ひ
7 And he knows his forsaken habitations, And he has laid waste [to] their cities, And the land and its fullness is desolate, Because of the voice of his roaring.
其寡婦をしりその邑々を滅せりその咆哮聲によりてその地とその中に盈る者荒たり
8 And surrounding nations set against him from the provinces. And they spread out their net for him, He has been caught in their pit.
是をもて四方の國人その國々より攻來り網をこれにうちかけ陷阱にてこれを執へ
9 And they put him in prison—in chains, And they bring him to the king of Babylon, They bring him into bulwarks, So that his voice is not heard On mountains of Israel anymore.
鼻環をほどこして籠にいれ之をバビロンの王の許に曳いたりて城の中に携へ入れ其聲を再びイスラエルの山々に聞えざらしむ
10 Your mother, like the vine in your blood, Is being planted by waters, She was bearing fruit and full of boughs, Because of many waters.
汝の母は汝の血にして水の側に植たる葡萄樹のごとし水の多きがために結實多く蔓はびこれり
11 And she has strong rods for scepters of rulers, And she is high in stature above—between thick branches, And it appears in its height In the multitude of its thin shoots.
是に強き枝ありて君王等の杖となすべし是の長は雲に至りその衆多の枝のために高く聳えて見へたり
12 And she is plucked up in fury, She has been cast to the earth, And the east wind has dried up her fruit, [The] rod of her strength has been broken and withered, Fire has consumed it.
然るに是怒をもて拔れて地に擲たる東風その實を吹乾かしその強き枝は折れて枯れ火に焚る
13 And now she is planted in a wilderness, In a dry and thirsty land.
今これは荒野にて乾ける水なき地に植りてあり
14 And fire goes forth from a rod of her boughs, It has devoured her fruit, And she has no rod of strength—a scepter to rule, A lamentation—and she has become for a lamentation!”
その枝の芽より火いでてその果を燒けば復強き枝の君王等の杖となるべき者其になし是哀の詞なり哀の詞となるべし
