Ezekiel 31
1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first of the month, that the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
十一年の三月の一日にヱホバの言我に臨みて云ふ
2 Son of man Say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt and unto his multitude, — Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
人の子よエジプトの王パロとその群衆に言へ汝はその大なること誰に似たるや
3 Lo! Assyria, was a cedar in Lebanon, Beautiful in bough and Dense in foliage and Lofty in stature, — and Among the clouds, came to be his top:
アツスリヤはレバノンの香柏のごとし其枝美しくして生茂りその丈高くして其巓雲に至る
4 The waters made him great, the roaring deep, made him high—with its currents going round about the place where it was planted, Its channels also, it sent forth unto all the trees of the field.
水これを大ならしめ大水これを高からしむ其川々その植れる處を環りその流を野の諸の樹に及ぼせり
5 For this cause higher, was his stature than any of the trees of the field, -And multiplied were his boughs And lengthened were his branches, By reason of the mighty waters when he shot forth shoots.
是によりてその長野の諸の樹よりも高くなりその生長にあたりて多の水のために枝葉茂りその枝長く伸たり
6 Among his branches, all the birds of the heavens, made their nests, And under his boughs, all the wild beasts of the field, brought forth, — And, in his shade, dwelt all the mighty nations.
その枝葉に空の諸の鳥巢をくひ其枝の下に野の諸の獸子を生みその蔭に諸の國民住ふ
7 Thus became he beautiful in his greatness, In the length of his waving branches, Because his root had gone towards mighty waters.
是はその大なるとその枝の長きとに由て美しかりき其根多くの水の傍にありたればなり
8 Cedars hid him not. in the garden of God, Fir-trees were not like unto his boughs, Nor plane-trees, like his branches, —no, tree in the garden of God, was like unto him in his beauty.
神の園の香柏これを蔽ふことあたはず樅もその枝葉に及ばず槻もその枝に如ず神の園の樹の中その美しき事これに如ものあらざりき
9 Beautiful, I made him in the abundance of his waving branches, - Therefore was he envied by all the trees of Eden, which were in the garden of God.
我これが枝を多してこれを美しくなせりエデンの樹の神の園にある者皆これを羨めり
10 Therefore Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Because thou hast become lofty in stature, And he hath stretched his top among the clouds, And his heart is exalted in his loftiness.
是故に主ヱホバかく言ふ汝その長高くなれり是は其巓雲に至りその心高く驕れば
11 Let me then deliver him into the hand of the chief of the nations, He shall effectually deal with him! According to his lawlessness, have I driven him out:
我これを萬國の君たる者の手に付さん彼これを處置せん其惡のために我これを打棄たり
12 Therefore have foreigners the terrible of the nations cut him down. And abandoned him, — Upon the mountains and in all valleys, have fallen his waving branches And broken have been his boughs in all the river-beds of the land, And all the peoples of the earth have come down out of his shade. And abandoned him:
他國人國々の暴き者これを截倒して棄つ其枝葉は山々に谷々に墮ち其枝は碎けて地の諸の谷川にあり地の萬民その蔭を離れてこれを遺つ
13 Upon his trunk, shall settle down all the birds of the heavens, - And among his boughs, are to be found all the wild beasts of the field: —
その倒れたる上に空の諸の鳥止まり其枝の上に野の諸の獸居る
14 To the end that none of the trees of the waters— May exalt themselves in their stature or stretch their top among the clouds, Nor their mighty ones take their stand in their height- any that drink of the waters, — Because they all, are delivered to death Unto the earth below. In the midst of the sons of Adam. Amongst them who descend into the pit.
是水の邊の樹その高のために誇ることなくその巓を雲に至らしむることなからんためまた水に濕ふ者の高らかに自ら立ことなからんためなり夫是等は皆死に付されて下の國に入り他の人々の中にあり墓に下る者等と偕なるべし
15 Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, In the day when he descended into hades, I caused a mourning. I covered over him the roaring deep, And restrained the currents thereof And stayed were the mighty waters, So caused I gloom over him unto Lebanon, And all the trees of the field for him were covered with a shroud. (Sheol h7585)
主ヱホバかく言たまふ彼が下の國に下れる日に我哀哭あらしめ之がために大水を蓋ひその川々をせきとめたれば大水止まれり我レバノンをして彼のために哭かしめ野の諸の樹をして彼のために痩衰へしむ (Sheol h7585)
16 At the sound of his fall, I made nations tremble, When I caused him to descend into hades, with them who descend into the pit, — Then were grieved in the earth below-All the trees of Eden, The choicest and best of Lebanon All who had drunk the waters. (Sheol h7585)
我かれを陰府に投くだして墓に下る者と共ならしむる時に國々をしてその墮る響に震動しめたり又エデンの諸の樹レバノンの勝れたる最美しき者凡て水に濕ふ者皆下の國に於て慰を得たり (Sheol h7585)
17 Even they, with him descended into hades. Among them who were thrust through with the sword, - Even his seed who dwelt in his shade in the midst of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
彼等も彼とともに陰府に下り劍に刺れたる者の處にいたる是すなはちその助者となりてその蔭に坐し萬國民の中にをりし者なり (Sheol h7585)
18 Unto whom couldst thou be likened thus, in glory and in greatness, among the trees of Eden? Yet shalt thou be caused to descend with the trees of Eden into the earth below In the midst of the uncircumcised, shalt thou lie down With them who were thrust through by the sword, the same, is Pharaoh and all his multitude, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
エデンの樹の中にありて汝は其榮とその大なること孰に似たるや汝は斯エデンの樹とともに下の國に投下され劍に刺透されたる者とともに割禮を受ざる者の中にあるべしパロとその群衆は是のごとし主ヱホバこれを言ふ
