< Ezekiel 14 >
1 Then came there unto me men, of the elders of Israel, —and sat before me—
爰にイスラエルの長老の中の人々我にきたりて吾前に坐しけるに
2 And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
ヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ
3 Son of man These men have brought up their manufactured gods upon their hear, And their stumbling-block of iniquity, have they set straight before their face, —Shall I be at all enquired of by them?
人の子よこの人々はその偶像を心の中に立しめ罪に陷いるるところの障礙をその面の前に置なり我あに是等の者の求を容べけんや
4 Therefore speak unto them and say unto them, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Any man whatsoever of the house of Israel Who shall bring up his manufactured gods upon his heart, And set, his stumbling-block of iniquity, straight before his face, And then come in unto the prophet, I Yahweh, have myself answered him thereby. By the multitude of his manufactured gods:
然ば汝かれらに告げて言ふべし主ヱホバかくいひたまふ凡そイスラエルの家の人のその心の中に偶像を立しめその面のまへに罪に陷いるるところの障礙を置きて預言者に來る者には我ヱホバその偶像の多衆にしたがひて應をなすべし
5 To the end the house of Israel may be taken by their own hearts, —in that they have estranged themselves from me, through their manufactured gods—all of them!
斯して我イスラエルの家の人の心を執へん是かれら皆その偶像のために我を離れたればなり
6 Therefore, say thou unto the house of Israel, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Turn ye—and make good your return—from your manufactured gods; And, from all your abominations, make good the turning away of your faces.
是故にイスラエルの家に言ふべし主ヱホバかくいひたまふ汝等悔い汝らの偶像を棄てはなるべし汝等面を回らしてその諸の憎むべき物を離れよ
7 For what man soever of the house of Israel Or of the sojourners who sojourn in Israel, Who shall estrange himself from following me And who shall bring up his manufactured gods, on his heart, And whose stumbling-block of iniquity, he shall set straight before his face, And then come in unto the prophet, to enquire by him of me, I Yahweh, will myself answer him, on my own account;
凡てイスラエルの家およびイスラエルに寓るところの外國人若われを離れてその偶像を心の中に立しめ其面の前に罪に陷るるところの障礙をおきて預言者に來りその心のままに我に求むる時は我ヱホバわが心のままにこれに應ふべし
8 And will set my face against that man And will make of him a sign and a proverb, And will cut him off out of the midst of my people: So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.
即ち我面をその人にむけこれを滅して兆象となし諺語となし之をわが民の中より絕さるべし汝等これによりて我がヱホバなるを知るにいたらん
9 Yea the prophet himself when he suffereth himself to be deceived, and speaketh a word, I Yahweh, have suffered that prophet to be deceived, Then will I stretch forth my hand against him, and destroy him out of the midst of my people. Israel:
もし預言者欺かれて言を出すことあらば我ヱホバその預言者を欺けるなり我かれの上にわが手を伸べ吾民イスラエルの中より彼を絕さらん
10 So shall they bear their punishment, As the punishment of him that enquireth, So shall the punishment of the prophet be:
彼等その罪を負ふべしその預言者の罪はかの問求むる者の罪のごとくなるべし
11 That the house of Israel may no more go astray from following me, And no more defile themselves by any of their transgressions, — But may become my people, and I, may become their God, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
是イスラエルの民をして重ねて我を離れて迷はざらしめ重ねてその諸の愆に汚れざらしめんため又かれらの吾民となり我の彼らの神とならんためなり主ヱホバこれをいふ
12 And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ
13 Son of man, When a land, shall sin against me by committing treachery, and I shall stretch out my hand against it, And break for it the staff of bread, And send thereon famine, And cut off therefrom man and beast,
人の子よ國もし悖れる事をおこなひて我に罪を犯すことあり我手をその上に伸て其杖とたのむところのパンを打碎き饑饉を之におくりて人と畜とをその中より絕ことある時には
14 Then should these three men be in the midst thereof, Noah, Daniel, and Job, they by their righteousness should deliver their own lives— Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.
其處にかのノア、ダニエル、ヨブの三人あるも只其義によりて己の生命を救ふことをうるのみなり主ヱホバこれをいふ
15 If a mischievous wild beast, I suffer to pass through the land, and that beast bereave it, so that it become too desolate for any man to pass through, by reason of the wild beast,
我もし惡き獸を國に行めぐらしめて之を子なき處となし荒野となして其獸のために其處を通る者なきに至らん時には
16 [Were] these three men in the midst thereof, As I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely neither sons nor daughters, should they deliver, They alone should be delivered, But the land, should become a desolation.
主ヱホバ言ふ我は活く此三人そこにをるもその子女を救ふことをえず只その身を救ふことを得るのみ國は荒野となるべし
17 Or, a sword, I should bring upon that land, and should say. O sword! thou shalt go through the land, and so I should cut off therefrom, man and beast,
又は我劍を國に臨ませて劍よ國を行めぐるべしと言ひ人と畜をそこより絕さらん時には
18 Were these three men in the midst thereof, As I live! Saith My Lord Yahweh, They should deliver neither sons nor daughters, — For they alone, should be delivered.
主ヱホバいふ我は活く此三人そこにをるもその子女をすくふことをえず只その身をすくふことを得るのみ
19 Or pestilence, I, should send into that land, —and should pour out mine indignation thereon in blood, to cut off therefrom man and beast
又われ疫病を國におくり血をもてわが怒をその上にそそぎ人と畜をそこより絕さらん時には
20 Were Noah, Daniel and Job in the midst thereof, As I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely neither son nor daughter, should they deliver, They, by their righteousness should deliver only their own lives.
主ヱホバいふ我は活くノア、ダニエル、ヨブそこにをるもその子女を救ふことをえず只その義によりて己の生命を救ふことを得るのみ
21 For thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, How much less [should they avail] when my four calamitous judgments, sword and famine and mischievous wild beast and pestilence I have sent against Jerusalem, —to cut off therefrom man and beast?
主ヱホバかくいひたまふ然ばわが四箇の嚴しき罰すなはち劍と饑饉と惡き獸と疫病をヱルサレムにおくりて人と畜をそこより絕さらんとする時は如何にぞや
22 Yet lo! there hath been left therein a remnant of fugitives to be brought forth —sons and daughters— There they are! coming forth unto you, And so ye shall see their way, and their doings, and be consoled over the calamity which I have brought in upon Jerusalem even all that I have brought in upon her.
其中に逃れて遺るところの男子女子あり彼等携へ去らるべし彼ら出ゆきて汝等の所にいたらん汝らかれらの行爲と擧動を見ば吾がヱルサレムに災をくだせし事につきて心をやすむるにいたるべし
23 Yea they shall console you, when ye see their way and their doings, — So shall ye know that not without cause, have I done, anything that I have done with her, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
汝ら彼らの行爲と擧動を見ばこれがためにその心をやすむるにいたりわがこれに爲たる事は皆故なくして爲たるにあらざるなるをしるにいたらん主ヱホバこれを言ふ
