< Ezekiel 16 >

1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ
2 “You human, cause the people of Jerusalem to think about their detestable behavior.
人の子よヱルサレムに其憎むべき事等を示して
3 Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says to you people of Jerusalem: [It is as though you are a woman who] [MET] was born in the country where the Canaan people-group lived. [It is as though] [MET] your father belonged to the Amor people-group and your mother belonged to the Heth people-group.
言ふべし主ヱホバ、ヱルサレムに斯いひたまふ汝の起本汝の誕生はカナンの地なり汝の父はアモリ人汝の母はヘテ人なり
4 [It is as though] [MET] on the day that you were born, your umbilical cord was not cut, and your body was not washed in water, and it was not rubbed with salt or wrapped in strips of cloth, [like Israeli babies always are].
汝の誕生を言んに汝の生れし日に汝の臍帶を斷ことなく又水にて汝を洗ひ潔むることなく鹽をもて汝を擦ることなく又布に裹むことなかりき
5 No one pitied you or acted kindly toward you by doing those things for you. Instead, [it was as though] [MET] you were thrown into a field, because on the day that you were born, you were despised {everyone despised you}.
一人も汝を憐み見憫をもて是等の事の一をも汝になせし者なし汝の生れたる日に人汝の生命を忌て汝を野原に棄たり
6 Then [it was as though] [MET] I passed by and saw you lying in your own blood and kicking. And while you lay there kicking in your own blood, I said to you, “I want you to remain alive!”
我汝のかたはらを通りし時汝が血の中にをりて踐るるを見汝が血の中にある時汝に生よと言り即ち我なんぢが血の中にある時に汝に生よといへり
7 [It was as though] I caused you to grow up, like plants in the field grow; you grew up and became tall and became like [MET] a very beautiful jewel. [It was as though] [MET] your breasts (formed/became large), and your hair became long, although you were still naked [DOU].
我野の百卉のごとくに汝を増して千萬となせり汝は生長て大きくなり美しき姿となるにいたり乳は堅くなり髮は長たりしが衣なくして裸なりき
8 When I saw you several years later, [it was as though] [MET] I saw that you were old enough to have sex [EUP]. So [it was as though] [MET] I spread the corner of my robe over [to symbolize that I would marry you], with the result that you were no longer naked. I solemnly promised [that I would marry you] and made a marriage agreement with you, and you became my wife. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say.
茲に我汝の傍を通りて汝を見に今は汝の時汝の愛せらるべき時なりければ我衣服の裾をもて汝を覆ひ汝の恥るところを蔽し而して汝に誓ひ汝に契約をたてたり汝すなはち吾所屬となれり主ヱホバこれを言ふ
9 [And then it was as though] [MET] I bathed you and washed the blood from you and put ointment on your body.
斯て我水をもてなんぢを洗ひ汝の血を滌ぎおとして膏を汝にぬり
10 [It was as though] [MET] I put a fine linen robe on you and gave you other expensive clothes. I put an embroidered dress on you and put leather sandals on your feet.
文繡あるものを着せ皮の鞋を穿たしめ細布を蒙らせ絹をもて汝の身を罩めり
11 [It was as though] [MET] I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck. Those things all had nice jewels fastened to them.
而して飾物をもて汝をかざり腕環をなんぢの手にはめ金索を汝の項にかけしめ
12 I put a gold ring in your nose and fastened earrings to your ears and put a beautiful crown on your head.
鼻には鼻環 耳には耳環 首には華美なる冠冕をほどこせり
13 So [it was as though] you wore gold and silver ornaments. You had clothes made from fine (linen/white cloth) and other expensive embroidered material/cloth. You ate [bread made from] fine flour, honey, and olive oil. You became very beautiful, like [MET] a queen.
汝すなはち金銀をもて身を飾り細布と絹および文繡をその衣服となし麥粉と蜜と油とを食へり汝は甚だ美しくして遂に榮えて王の權勢に進みいたる
14 You were very beautiful, with the result that people in other nations heard about you, because they knew that I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who had caused you to become very beautiful.
汝の美貌のために汝の名は國々にひろまれり是わが汝にほどこせしわれの飾物によりて汝の美麗極りたればなり主ヱホバこれを言ふ
15 But [it was as though] [MET] you realized that because people knew that you were very beautiful, you could [earn a lot of money by] becoming a prostitute. [It was as though] you had sex with [EUP] every man who came along, and they all enjoyed your beauty.
然るに汝その美麗を恃み汝の名によりて姦淫をおこなひ凡て其傍を過る者と縱恣に姦淫をなしたり是その人の所屬となる
16 [It was as though] you took some of your clothes to make beautifully decorated shrines, and that is where you had sex with those men. Those things should certainly never occur!
汝おのれの衣服をとりて崇邱を彩り作りその上に姦淫をおこなへり是爲べからず有べからざる事なり
17 You took the fine gold and silver jewelry that I gave you, and you made male idols for yourself, in order to have sex with them.
汝はわが汝にあたへし金銀の飾の品を取り男の像を造りて之と姦淫をおこなひ
18 You took some of your embroidered clothes to put on those idols, and you burned oil and incense in front of them [to honor them].
汝の繡衣を取りて之に纒ひ吾の膏と香をその前に陳へ
19 And the [bread that was made from] fine flour and the olive oil and honey that I gave to you to eat, you offered to be a fragrant sacrifice to those idols. I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that is what happened.
亦わが汝にあたへし我の食物我が用ひて汝をやしなふところの麥粉油および蜜を其前に陳へて馨しき香氣となせり是事ありしと主ヱホバいひ給ふ
20 And you even took your sons and daughters who were [as though they were] [MET] my children, and sacrificed them to be food for the idols. That was much worse [RHQ] than your becoming a prostitute.
汝またおのれの我に生たる男子女子をとりてこれをその像にそなへて食はしむ汝が姦淫なほ小き事なるや
21 You slaughtered [those who were like] [MET] my children, and offered them to be sacrifices to the gods!
汝わが子等を殺し亦火の中を通らしめてこれに献ぐ
22 All during the time when you were acting like a prostitute and doing other detestable things, you did not think about the time when [it was as though] you were very young, naked [DOU], lying in your own blood and kicking.
汝その諸の憎むべき事とその姦淫とをおこなふに當りて汝が若かりし日に衣なくして裸なりしことおよび汝が血のうちにをりて蹈れしことを想はざるなり
23 So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that terrible things will happen to you. In addition to all the other wicked things that you did,
主ヱホバまた言たまふ汝は禍なるかな禍なるかな
24 you built a shrine to worship idols in every [city] square/plaza.
汝その諸の惡をおこなひし後街衢街衢に樓をしつらひ臺を造り
25 At the beginning of every street you built a shrine, and showed people your beautiful body, offering it to have sex with every man who walked by, becoming a better known prostitute every day.
また路の辻々に臺をつくりて汝の美麗を汚辱むることを爲し凡て傍を過るところの者に足をひらきて大に姦淫をおこなふ
26 [It was as though] [MET] you had sex with men from Egypt who were eager to have sex with you, men who lived near to Israel. You caused me to become very angry because you became more eager to have sex with more and more of them.
汝かの肉の大なる汝の隣人エジプトの人々と姦淫をおこなひ大に姦淫をなして我を怒らせたれば
27 So I punished [IDM] you and caused your enemies to capture some of your country. I enabled your greedy enemies from Philistia to defeat you; and even they were shocked because of your disgraceful behavior.
我手を汝の上にのべて汝のたまはる分を減し彼の汝を惡み汝の淫なる行爲を羞るところのペリシテ人の女等の心に汝をまかせたり
28 [It was as though] you had sex with soldiers from Assyria, too, because you always wanted more sex. And after that, you still were not satisfied.
然るに汝は厭ことなければ亦アツスリヤの人々と姦淫をおこなひしが之と姦淫をおこなひたるも尚厭ことなかりき
29 So you also had sex [with soldiers from] Babylonia, a country full of merchants/businessmen, but even that did not satisfy you.
汝また大に姦淫をおこなひてカナンの國カルデヤに迄およびしが是にても尚厭ことなし
30 I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that when you did all those things, acting like [MET] a bold prostitute, you were showing that you were ready to do anything that you wanted to [IDM].
主ヱホバいひたまふ汝の心如何に戀煩ふにや汝この諸の事を爲り是氣隨なる遊女の行爲なり
31 When you built shrines to worship idols on every street corner and in every city square/plaza, you were not like a prostitute: Prostitutes charge money, but you refused to take money for what you did.
汝道の辻々に樓をしつらひ衢々に臺を造りしが金錢を輕んじたれば娼妓のごとくならざりき
32 You are like [MET] a woman who commits adultery: You prefer to [have sex with] strangers rather than with your husband.
夫淫婦はその夫のほかに他人と通ずるなり
33 Prostitutes are paid, but [it is as though] you give gifts to all your lovers; you bribe them to come to you from everywhere to have sex with you.
人は凡て娼妓に物を贈るなるに汝はその諸の戀人に物をおくり且汝と姦淫せんとて四方より汝に來る者に報金を與ふ
34 So although you act like [MET] a prostitute, you are not like other prostitutes: No one needs to request you to have sex [EUP] with them. You are the opposite of other prostitutes; instead of them giving any money to you, you give men money to have sex with you.
汝は姦淫をおこなふに當りて他の婦と反す即ち人汝を戀求むるにあらざるなり汝金錢を人にあたへて人金錢を汝にあたへざるは是その相反するところなり
35 Therefore, [you people of] Jerusalem, who are like a prostitute [MET], listen to what I, Yahweh the Lord, am saying about you!
然ば娼妓よヱホバの言を聽け
36 I say that [what you have done is as though] [MET] you took off your clothes and acted like a prostitute and had sex with men who are not your husband. [What I mean is that you have been worshiping] detestable idols, and you have murdered [MTY] your own children to be sacrifices to them.
主ヱホバかく言たまふ汝金銀を撒散し且汝の戀人と姦淫して汝の恥處を露したるに由り又汝の憎むべき諸の偶像と汝が之にささげたる汝の子等の血の故により
37 So [what I am going to do is as though] I will gather those who you think have loved you and those whom you hated. I will gather them around you [to attack you], and [what I will do is as though] I will strip your clothes off you, and they will see you when you are completely naked.
視よ我汝が交れる諸の戀人および凡て汝が戀たる者並に凡て汝が惡みたる者を集め四方よりかれらを汝の所に集め汝の恥處を彼らに現さん彼ら汝の恥處を悉く見るべし
38 I will punish you like women who commit adultery and who murder people [MTY] are punished. I will get revenge on you and get rid of you because I am extremely angry with you.
我姦淫を爲せる婦および血をながせる婦を鞫くがごとくに汝を鞫き汝をして忿怒と嫉妬の血とならしむべし
39 I will allow [your enemies who you thought] loved you [IRO] to defeat you, and they will tear down your shrines. [It will be as though] they will strip off your fancy clothes and take away your fine jewelry and cause you to be completely naked [DOU].
我汝を彼等の手に付せば彼等汝の樓を毀ち汝の臺を倒しなんぢの衣服を褫取り汝の美しき飾を奪ひ汝をして衣服なからしめ裸にならしむべし
40 They will bring a mob to attack you, and that mob will throw stones at you and cut you to pieces with their swords.
彼等群衆をひきゐて汝の所にのぼり石をもて汝を撃ち劍をもて汝を切さき
41 They will burn down your houses and punish you while many women are watching. I will cause your acting like a prostitute and paying your lovers to have sex with you to end.
火をもて汝の家を焚き多くの婦女の目の前にて汝を鞫かん斯われ汝をして姦淫を止しむべし汝は亦ふたたび金錢をあたふることなからん
42 Then I will no longer be angry [DOU] with you. I will stop being jealous [because of your worshiping gods other than me only].
我ここに於て汝に對するわが怒を息め汝にかかはるわが嫉妬を去り心をやすんじて復怒らざらん
43 You have forgotten [the wonderful things that I did for you] in previous years [MET]. You have caused me to become extremely angry because of all the [evil things] that you have done. In addition to all the other detestable things that you did, you committed many sexual sins. So I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that I will punish you [IDM] for doing those things.
主ヱホバいひたまふ汝その若かりし日の事を記憶えずしてこの諸の事をもて我を怒らせたれば視よ我も汝の行ふところを汝の首に報ゆべし汝その諸の憎むべき事の上に此惡事をなしたるにあらざるなり
44 People who [like to] quote proverbs will quote this proverb about you: “[behave] like their mothers [behave].”
視よ諺語をもちふる者みな汝を指てこの諺を用ひ言ん母のごとくに女も然りと
45 You are like your mother; [it was as though] she detested her husband and her children. You are like your sisters, who also despised their husbands and their children. [It was as though] [MET] your father belonged to the Amor people-group and your mother belonged to the Heth people-group.
汝の母はその夫と子女を棄たり汝はその女なり汝の姉妹はその夫と子女を棄たり汝はその姉妹なり汝の母はヘテ人汝の父はアモリ人なり
46 And [it was as though] [MET] your older sister was Samaria, and she and her daughters lived to the north of you, and [it was as though] your younger sister was Sodom, and she and her daughters lived to the south of you.
汝の姉はサマリヤなり彼その女子等とともに汝の左に住む汝の妹はソドムなり彼その女子等とともに汝の右に住む
47 You not only imitated all [DOU] their detestable behavior, but you quickly became more sinful than they were.
汝は只少しく彼らの道に歩み彼らの憎むべきところの事等を行ひしのみにあらず汝の爲る事は皆かれらのよりも惡かりき
48 I, Yahweh the Lord, solemnly declare that as surely as I am alive, [the people who lived in] [MTY] Sodom and other nearby cities never did the detestable things that you [people in Jerusalem and other places in Judah] have done.
主ヱホバ言たまふ我は活く汝の妹ソドムと其女子らが爲しところは汝とその女子らが爲しところの如くはあらざりき
49 These are the sins [the people who lived in] Sodom, who were like your sister [MET]: The people who lived there and in nearby cities were arrogant. In spite of having more food to eat than they needed, they refused to help the poor and needy [DOU] people among them.
汝の妹ソドムの罪は是なり彼は傲り食物に飽きその女子らとともに安泰にをり而して難める者と貧しき者を助けざりき
50 The people of Sodom and nearby cities [MET] were proud and did detestable things in my presence, so I got rid of them when I saw what they had been doing.
かれらは傲りわが前に憎むべき事をなしたれば我見てかれらを掃ひ除けり
51 Also, [the people of] Samaria did not commit half as many sins as you have committed. You have done more disgusting things than they have done. You cause the people of Samaria to appear to be good, compared to you.
サマリヤは汝の罪の半分ほども罪を犯さざりき汝は憎むべき事等を彼らよりも多く行ひ増し汝の爲たる諸の憎むべき事のために汝の姉妹等をして義きが如くならしめたり
52 Your sins are worse than their sins, so they seem to be less wicked than you are. So I will punish you more than I punished them. As a result, you will be ashamed and disgraced [DOU].
然ば汝が曾てその姉妹等の蒙るべき者と定めたるところの恥辱を汝もまた蒙れよ汝が彼等よりも多くの憎むべき事をなしたるその罪の爲に彼等は汝よりも義くなれり然ば汝も辱を受け恥を蒙れ是は汝その姉妹等を義き者となしたればなり
53 However, [some day] I will [the people of] Sodom and Samaria and the cities near to them [MET] to prosper again. And I will cause you to prosper again, too.
我ソドムとその女等の俘囚をかへしサマリヤとその女等の俘囚をかへさん時に其と同じ擄はれたる汝の俘囚人を歸し
54 You will be very ashamed [DOU] of the wicked things that you have done, and that will cause the people of those cities to be encouraged.
汝をして恥を蒙らしめ汝が凡て爲たるところの事を羞しむべし汝かく彼らの慰とならん
55 [The people of] Sodom and Samaria will prosper again, and you and the people in nearby cities will prosper also.
汝の姉妹ソドムとその女子等は舊の樣に歸りサマリヤとその女子等は舊の樣に歸らん又汝と汝の女子等も舊の樣にかへるべし
56 You (sneered at/despised) [the people of] Sodom when you were proud,
汝はその驕傲れる日には汝の姉妹ソドムの事を口に述ざりき
57 before it was revealed that you were very wicked. And now [the people of] Edom and [the people of] Philistia all insult you and despise you.
汝の惡の露れし時まで即ちスリアの女子等と凡て汝の周圍の者ペリシテ人の女等が四方より汝を嬲りて辱しめし時まで汝は是のごとくなりき
58 And you are being punished for all your immoral behavior and other detestable things that you do.
ヱホバいひたまふ汝の淫なる行爲と汝のもろもろの憎むべき事とは汝みづからこれを身に負ふなり
59 This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will continue to punish you like you deserve to be punished, because by rejecting the agreement that I made with you, you have despised that solemn agreement that you promised to obey.
主ヱホバかく言たまふ誓言を輕んじて契約をやぶりたるところの汝には我汝の爲るところにしたがひて爲べし
60 But I will not forget the agreement that I made with you long ago [MET], and I will make an agreement with you that will endure forever.
我汝の若かりし日に汝になせし契約を記憶え汝と限りなき契約をたてん
61 Then you will think about what you have done, and you will be ashamed about those things when you welcome [the people of] Sodom and Samaria, cities which are like [MET] older and younger sisters to you people of Jerusalem. I will [put them under your control by] causing them to become like [MET] your daughters, but they will not have the same agreement that I will make with you.
汝その姉妹の汝より大なる者と小き者とを得る時にはおのれの行爲をおぼえて羞ん彼等は汝の契約に屬する者にあらざれども我かれらを汝にあたへて女となさしむべし
62 I will establish my agreement with you, and you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
我汝と契約をたてん汝すなはち吾のヱホバなるを知にいたらん
63 Then when I have forgiven you for all your sins, you will think about all the sins that you committed and you will be ashamed, and you will never again [boast about them], because you will be humiliated.’”
我なんぢの凡て行ひしところの事を赦す時には汝憶えて羞ぢその恥辱のために再び口を開くことなかるべし主ヱホバこれを言ふ
