Ezekiel 18
1 The word of the Lord came unto me again, saying,
ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ
2 What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s 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 live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have [occasion] any more to use this proverb 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 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul 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 just, and do that which is lawful and right,
若人正義して公道と公義を行ひ
6 and hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour’s wife, neither hath come near to a woman in her separation;
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 and hath not wronged any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered 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8 he that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man,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 hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith 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 son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth 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 and that doeth not any of those [duties], but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour’s 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 hath wronged the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, 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 hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations: he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon 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 Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father’s sins, which he hath done, and feareth, and doth not 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 upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neighbour’s 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 wronged any, hath not taken aught to pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered 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 that hath withdrawn his hand from the poor, that hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.
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 As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people, behold, he shall die in his iniquity.
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 doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.
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 soul that sinneth, it shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
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 turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he 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 None of his transgressions that he hath committed shall be remembered against him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
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 Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? saith the Lord GOD: and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?
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 when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he hath done shall be remembered: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin 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 equal. Hear now, O house of Israel: Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
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 When the righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth therein; in his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
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 Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
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 he hath committed, he shall surely live, he 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 the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
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 judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Return ye, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
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, whereto ye have transgressed; and make you a new 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 have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live.
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
