Ezekiel 34
1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
主の言葉がわたしに臨んだ、
2 Son of man, Prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, - Prophesy, and thou shalt say unto them, even to the shepherds— Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh— Alas! for the shepherds of Israel who have been tending, themselves, Is it not the flock that the shepherds should tend?
「人の子よ、イスラエルの牧者たちに向かって預言せよ。預言して彼ら牧者に言え、主なる神はこう言われる、わざわいなるかな、自分自身を養うイスラエルの牧者。牧者は群れを養うべき者ではないか。
3 The milk, ye do eat And with the wool, ye do clothe your- selves, The well-fed, ye do sacrifice, The flock, ye do not tend
ところが、あなたがたは脂肪を食べ、毛織物をまとい、肥えたものをほふるが、群れを養わない。
4 The weak, have ye not strengthened And, the sick, have ye not healed. And the torn, have ye not bound up, And that which was driven out, have ye not brought back, And that which was straying, have ye not sought out; But with force, have ye ruled them and with rigour.
あなたがたは弱った者を強くせず、病んでいる者をいやさず、傷ついた者をつつまず、迷い出た者を引き返らせず、うせた者を尋ねず、彼らを手荒く、きびしく治めている。
5 And they were scattered, because there was no shepherd; And they became food for every wild beast of the field. So were they scattered.
彼らは牧者がないために散り、野のもろもろの獣のえじきになる。
6 My sheep did wander through all the mountains, And over every high hill, - And over all the face of the land, were my sheep scattered, And there was none to inquire And none to seek out.
わが羊は散らされている。彼らはもろもろの山と、もろもろの高き丘にさまよい、わが羊は地の全面に散らされているが、これを捜す者もなく、尋ねる者もない。
7 Wherefore ye shepherds, hear ye the word of Yahweh:
それゆえ、牧者よ、主の言葉を聞け。
8 As I live, — Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely because my flock became a prey. And my flock became food for every wild beast of the field, through having no shepherd, Neither did my shepherds inquire after the flock, —But the shepherds tended themselves. And my flock, they tended not
主なる神は言われる、わたしは生きている。わが羊はかすめられ、わが羊は野のもろもろの獣のえじきとなっているが、その牧者はいない。わが牧者はわが羊を尋ねない。牧者は自身を養うが、わが羊を養わない。
9 Therefore ye shepherds, hear ye the word of Yahweh:
それゆえ牧者らよ、主の言葉を聞け。
10 Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh, Behold me! against the shepherds So then I will require my flock at their hand And will cause them to cease tending the flock, Neither shall the shepherds any longer tend themselves, But I will deliver my flock out of their mouth, that they may not be their food.
主なる神はこう言われる、見よ、わたしは牧者らの敵となり、わたしの羊を彼らの手に求め、彼らにわたしの群れを養うことをやめさせ、再び牧者自身を養わせない。またわが羊を彼らの口から救って、彼らの食物にさせない。
11 For Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, - Here am I myself Therefore will I inquire after my flock and seek them out:
主なる神はこう言われる、見よ、わたしは、わたしみずからわが羊を尋ねて、これを捜し出す。
12 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day he is in the midst of his sheep that are scattered, So! will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all the places where they were scattered in the day of cloud and thick darkness;
牧者がその羊の散り去った時、その羊の群れを捜し出すように、わたしはわが羊を捜し出し、雲と暗やみの日に散った、すべての所からこれを救う。
13 And I will bring them out from among the peoples And will gather them out of the lands, And will bring them upon their own soil, And will tend them Upon the mountains of Israel, In the ravines. And in all the habitable places of the land:
わたしは彼らをもろもろの民の中から導き出し、もろもろの国から集めて、彼らの国に携え入れ、イスラエルの山の上、泉のほとり、また国のうちの人の住むすべての所でこれを養う。
14 In good pastures, will I feed them, And on the mountains of the height of Israel, shall be their fold, — There, shall they lie down in a fold that is good, And on pasture that is fat, shall they feed. among the mountains of Israel.
わたしは良き牧場で彼らを養う。その牧場はイスラエルの高い山にあり、その所で彼らは良い羊のおりに伏し、イスラエルの山々の上で肥えた牧場で草を食う。
15 I myself, will tend my flock. And, I myself, will cause them to lie down, Declareth My Lord Yahweh:
わたしはみずからわが羊を飼い、これを伏させると主なる神は言われる。
16 That which is straying, will I seek out. And that which hath been driven away, will I bring back, And that which is torn, will I bind up, And the weak, will I strengthen, - But the fat and the strong, will I watch I will feed them with justice.
わたしは、うせたものを尋ね、迷い出たものを引き返し、傷ついたものを包み、弱ったものを強くし、肥えたものと強いものとは、これを監督する。わたしは公平をもって彼らを養う。
17 And as for you O my flock, Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh: Behold me! judging between one kind of small cattle and another as well the rams as the he-goats.
主なる神はこう言われる、あなたがた、わが群れよ、見よ、わたしは羊と羊との間、雄羊と雄やぎとの間をさばく。
18 Is it too small a thing for you that on the good pasture, ye feed, But the remainder of your pastures, ye must needs trample down with your feet? Or that of the pure waters, ye drink But the waters left remaining—with your feet, ye must needs foul?
あなたがたは良き牧場で草を食い、その草の残りを足で踏み、また澄んだ水を飲み、その残りを足で濁すが、これは、あまりのことではないか。
19 And my flock On what hath been trampled down by your feet, may feed, And of what hath been fouled by your feet, may drink?
わが羊はあなたがたが、足で踏んだものを食い、あなたがたの足で濁したものを、飲まなければならないのか。
20 Therefore Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, unto them: Here am I myself. Therefore will I judge between fat sheep and lean sheep,
それゆえ、主なる神はこう彼らに言われる、見よ、わたしは肥えた羊と、やせた羊との間をさばく。
21 Because with the side and with the shoulder, ye do thrust, And with your horns, ye do push all the sick, — Until you have scattered them abroad
あなたがたは、わきと肩とをもって押し、角をもって、すべて弱い者を突き、ついに彼らを外に追い散らした。
22 Therefore will I bring salvation to my flock, and they shall be no longer a prey, —but I will judge between one sheep and another,
それゆえ、わたしはわが群れを助けて、再びかすめさせず、羊と羊との間をさばく。
23 And I will raise up over them one shepherd And he shall tend them, Even my servant David, — He, will tend them, And, he, will become to them a shepherd;
わたしは彼らの上にひとりの牧者を立てる。すなわちわがしもべダビデである。彼は彼らを養う。彼は彼らを養い、彼らの牧者となる。
24 And, I Yahweh, will become to them a God. my servant David, being a prince in their midst, — I Yahweh, have spoken;
主なるわたしは彼らの神となり、わがしもべダビデは彼らのうちにあって君となる。主なるわたしはこれを言う。
25 And I will solemnise for them a covenant of prosperity, And will cause to cease the mischievous wild-beast out of the land, And they shall dwell in the wilderness, securely, And shall sleep in the forests;
わたしは彼らと平和の契約を結び、国の内から野獣を追い払う。彼らは心を安んじて荒野に住み、森の中に眠る。
26 And I, will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing, - And I will cause the abundant rain to come down in its season abundant rains of blessing, shall they be;
わたしは彼らおよびわが山の周囲の所々を祝福し、季節にしたがって雨を降らす。これは祝福の雨となる。
27 And the tree of the field shall yield his fruit And, the land, shall yield her increase, And they shall remain on their own soil in security, - So shall they know that I, am Yahweh, When I have broken the bars of their yoke, And shall deliver them out of the hand of them who have been using them as slaves.
野の木は実を結び、地は産物を出す。彼らは心を安んじてその国におり、わたしが彼らのくびきの棒を砕き、彼らを奴隷とした者の手から救い出す時、彼らはわたしが主であることを悟る。
28 And they shall be no longer a prey for the nations, Nor shall the wild beast of the earth! devour them, — But they shall dwell securely with none to put them in terror.
彼らは重ねて、もろもろの国民にかすめられることなく、地の獣も彼らを食うことはない。彼らは心を安んじて住み、彼らを恐れさせる者はない。
29 And I will raise up unto them a plantation for fame, - And there shall be no longer the destroyed of hunger in the land, Neither shall they bear any longer the reproach of the nations.
わたしは彼らのために、良い栽培所を与える。彼らは重ねて、国のききんに滅びることなく重ねて諸国民のはずかしめを受けることはない。
30 So shall they know that, I, Yahweh their God am with them, - And that they are my people the house of Israel, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh.
彼らはその神、主なるわたしが彼らと共におり、彼らイスラエルの家が、わが民であることを悟ると、主なる神は言われる。
31 Ye, therefore, my flock the flock of my pasture, are, men, — I, am your God, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
あなたがたはわが羊、わが牧場の羊である。わたしはあなたがたの神であると、主なる神は言われる」。
