< Ezekiel 33 >

1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
爰にヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ
2 Son of man Speak unto the sons of thy people and thou shalt say unto them, A land—when I bring upon it a sword, And the people of the land shall take one man out of their whole number, and appoint him for them, as watchman;
人の子よ汝の民の人々に告て之に言へ我劍を一の國に臨ましめん時その國の民おのれの國人の中より一人を選みて之を守望人となさんに
3 And he shall see the sword coming upon the land, —and shall blow with the horn and warn the people
かれ國に劍の臨むを見ラッパを吹てその民を警むることあらん
4 Then as for him who really heard the sound of the horn and took not warning, The sword indeed hath come and taken him away, — His blood, upon his own head shall remain: —
然るに人ラッパの音を聞て自ら警めず劍つひに臨みて其人を失ふにいたらばその血はその人の首に歸すべし
5 The sound of the horn, he heard, but took not warning, His blood, upon himself shall remain, — Whereas had he taken warning, his own soul, he should have delivered.
彼ラッパの音を聞て自ら警むることを爲ざればその血は己に歸すべし然どもし自ら警むることを爲ばその生命を保つことを得ん
6 But as for the watchman-When he seeth the sword coming. And hath not blown with the horn. And the people, have not been warned, And the sword, hath come and taken away from among them any person he, for his iniquity, hath been taken away, But his blood at the hand of the watchman will I require.
然れども守望者劍の臨むを見てラッパを吹ず民警戒をうけざるあらんに劍のぞみて其中の一人を失はば其人は己の罪に死るなれど我その血を守望者の手に討問めん
7 Thou therefore Son of man, A watchman, have I appointed thee, to the house of Israel, So then thou shalt hear at my mouth a message, and shalt warn them from me.
然ば人の子よ我汝を立てイスラエルの家の守望者となす汝わが口より言を聞き我にかはりて彼等を警むべし
8 When I say to the lawless man O lawless man thou shalt surely die, And thou have not spoken to warn the lawless man from his way He the lawless man for his iniquity shall die, But his blood- at thy hand- will I demand.
我惡人に向ひて惡人よ汝死ざるべからずと言んに汝その惡人を警めてその途を離るるやうに語らずば惡人はその罪に死んなれどその血をば我汝の手に討問むべし
9 But as for thyself When thou hast warned a lawless man from his way, to turn therefrom, And he hath not turned from his way He, for his own iniquity shall die, But thou hast delivered thine own life,
然ど汝もし惡人を警めて翻りてその途を離れしめんとしたるに彼その途を離れずば彼はその罪に死ん而して汝はおのれの生命を保つことを得ん
10 Thou, therefore, Son of man, Say unto the house of Israel, Thus, have ye spoken saying: When our transgressions and our sins are upon us, —and for them, we are melting away How then can we live?
然ば人の子よイスラエルの家に言へ汝らは斯語りて言ふ我らの愆と罪は我らの身の上にあり我儕はその中にありて消失ん爭でか生ることを得んと
11 Say unto them, As I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely, I can take no pleasure in the death of the lawless man, But that the lawless man turn from his way, and live, - Turn ye, turn ye, from your wicked ways, For wherefore should ye die. O house of Israel?
汝かれらに言べし主ヱホバ言たまふ我は活く我惡人の死るを悦ばず惡人のその途を離れて生るを悦ぶなり汝ら翻へり翻へりてその惡き道を離れよイスラエルの家よ汝等なんぞ死べけんや
12 Thou, therefore, Son of man Say unto the sons of thy people— The righteousness of the righteous man, shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression, And as for the lawlessness of the lawless man, He shall not stumble thereby, in the day of his return from his lawlessness, - Nor shall the righteous man be able to live thereby, in the day of his sin.
人の子よ汝の民の人々に言べし義人の義はその人の罪を犯せる日にはその人を救ふことあたはず惡人はその惡を離れたる日にはその惡のために仆るることあらじ義人はその罪を犯せる日にはその義のために生ることを得じ
13 When I say of the righteous man He shall surely live but he hath trusted in his righteousness and committed perversity None of his righteous deeds shall be mentioned, But by his perversity which he hath committed—thereby, shall he die.
我義人に汝かならず生べしと言んに彼その義を恃みて罪ををかさばその義は悉く忘らるべし其をかせる罪のために彼は死べし
14 And when I say to the lawless man Thou shalt surely die, but he shall turn from his sin, and do justice and righteousness:
我惡人に汝かならず死べしと言んに彼その惡を離れ公道と公義を行ふことあらん
15 The debt-pledge, the lawless man shall restore Plunder, shall pay back, In the statutes of life, hath walked, so as not to commit perversity. He shall surely live he shall not die: —
即ち惡人質物を歸しその奪ひし者を還し惡をなさずして生命の憲法にあゆみなば必ず生ん死ざるべし
16 None of his sins which he hath committed shall be called to mind against him, — Justice and righteousness, hath he done He shall surely live.
その犯したる各種の罪は記憶らるることなかるべし彼すでに公道と公義を行ひたれば必ず生べし
17 And can the sons of thy people say, The way of The Lord will not be equal? Nay! but as for them, their way will not be equal!
汝の民の人々は主の道正しからずと言ふ然ど實は彼等の道の正しからざるなり
18 When the righteous man shall turn from his righteousness and commit perversity Then shall he die for them;
義人もしその義を離れて罪ををかさば是がために死べし
19 But when the lawless man shall turn from his lawlessness, and do justice and righteousness Upon them, shall he live.
惡人もしその惡を離れて公道と公義を行ひなば是がために生べし
20 And can ye then say, The way of The Lord will not be equal? Every man—according to his own ways so will I judge you O house of Israel?
然るに汝らは主の道正しからずといふイスラエルの家よ我各人の行爲にしたがひて汝等を鞫くべし
21 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the tenth month on the fifth of the month of our exile, that there came unto me one that had escaped out of Jerusalem saying. Smitten is the city!
我らが擄へうつされし後すなはち十二年の十月の五日にヱルサレムより脱逃者きたりて邑は撃敗られたりと言ふ
22 Now the hand of Yahweh, had come unto me in the evening, before the coming of him who had escaped, and he had opened my mouth, by the time that he came to me in the morning, —so my mouth, was opened, and I was dumb no longer.
その逃亡者の來る前の夜ヱホバの手我に臨み彼が朝におよびて我に來るまでに我口を開けり斯わが口開けたれば我また默せざりき
23 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me saying:
即ちヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ
24 Son of man These inhabitants of waste places on the soil of Israel are saying thus, One, was Abraham. Yet he inherited the land, - But, we, are many, To us, is the land given as an inheritance.
人の子よイスラエルの地の彼の墟址に住る者語りて云ふアブラハムは一人にして此地を有てり我等は衆多し此地はわれらの所有に授かると
25 Wherefore say unto them Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh. -With the blood, ye do eat. And your eyes, ye do lift up unto your manufactured gods. And blood, ye do shed; And the land, shall ye inherit?
是故に汝かれらに言ふべし主ヱホバかく言ふ汝らは血のままに食ひ汝らの偶像を仰ぎ且血を流すなれば尚此地を有つべけんや
26 Ye men have taken your stand by your sword. Ye women have wrought abomination, And every man—with the wife of his neighbour, have ye defiled yourselves; And the land, shall ye inherit?
汝等は劍を恃み憎むべき事を行ひ各々人の妻を汚すなれば此地を有つべけんや
27 Thus shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, As I live, surely, they who are in the waste places by the sword, shall fall, And him who is on the face of the field to the wild beast, have I given to be devoured, - And they who are in the mountain holds and in the pits: by pestilence, shall die;
汝かれらに斯言べし主ヱホバかく言ふ我は活くかの荒場に居る者は劍に仆れん野の表にをる者をば我獸にあたへて噬はしめん要害と洞穴とにをる者は疫病に死ん
28 And I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment, So shall be made to cease the pride of her strength, - And the mountains of Israel shall be too desolate for any to pass through.
我この國を全く荒さん其誇るところの權勢は終に至らんイスラエルの山々は荒て通る者なかるべし
29 So shall they know that I, am Yahweh, — When I make the land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all their abominations which they have committed.
彼らが行ひたる諸の憎むべき事のために我その國を全く荒さん時に彼ら我のヱホバなるを知ん
30 Thou therefore Son of man, the sons of thy people who are talking against thee Near the walls and in the entrances of the houses, are speaking one with another, every man with his brother saying. Come in we pray you and heat, what is the word that is coming forth from Yahweh;
人の子よ汝の民の人々垣の下家の門にて汝の事を論じ互に語りあひ各々その兄弟に言ふ去來われら如何なる言のヱホバより出るかを聽んと
31 That they may come unto thee as people do come And may sit before thee as my people, And they will hear thy words, But, the words themselves, will they not do, — though fond with their mouths, they seem to be, After their unjust gain, their heart is going.
彼ら民の集會のごとくに汝に來り吾民のごとくに汝の前に坐して汝の言を聞ん然ども之を行はじ彼らは口に悦ばしきところの事をなし其心は利にしたがふなり
32 And lo! thou art to them— As a bewitching song, Of one with a beautiful voice. And skilfully touching the strings, —So will they hear thy words, And yet be going to do none of them.
彼等には汝悦ばしき歌美しき聲美く奏る者のごとし彼ら汝の言を聞ん然ど之をおこなはじ
33 But when it cometh Lo! it is coming, Then shall they know that a prophet hath been in their midst.
視よその事至る其事のいたる時には彼らおのれの中に預言者あるを知べし
