Ezekiel 32
1 Almost twelve years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the twelfth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
第十二年の十二月一日に、主の言葉がわたしに臨んだ、
2 “You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Egypt. Sing this to him: ‘You [think that you] [IRO] are like [SIM] a lion among the nations; or like [SIM] a monster/crocodile in the river thrashing around in the water, churning/stirring up the water with your feet and causing the water to become muddy.
「人の子よ、エジプトの王パロのために、悲しみの歌をのべて、これに言え、あなたは自分をもろもろの国民のうちのししであると考えているが、あなたは海の中の龍のような者である。あなたは川の中に、はね起き、足で水をかきまぜ、川を濁す。
3 But this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “I will send many people to throw my net over you, and they will haul/drag you up [onto the land] in my net.
主なる神はこう言われる、わたしは多くの民の集団をもって、わたしの網をあなたに投げかけ、あなたを網で引きあげる。
4 They will throw you into a field [DOU] [to die]; I will allow the birds to sit on you, and all the wild animals will eat the flesh of your corpse until their stomachs are full.
わたしはあなたを地に投げ捨て、野の面に投げうち、空のすべての鳥をあなたの上にとまらせ、全地の獣にあなたを与えて飽かせる。
5 I will cause them to scatter your flesh on the hills and fill the valleys with your bones.
わたしはあなたの肉を山々に捨て、あなたの死体で谷を満たす。
6 I will cause them to fill the land with your blood, all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.
わたしはあなたの流れる血で、地を潤し、山々にまで及ぼす。谷川はあなたの死体で満ちる。
7 When I get rid of you, I will cover the sky and not allow the stars to shine. I will put a dark cloud in front of the sun, and the moon will not shine.
わたしはあなたを滅ぼす時、空をおおい、星を暗くし、雲で日をおおい、月に光を放たせない。
8 I will cause the stars in the sky to be dark, and there will be darkness over your entire land; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.
わたしは空の輝く光を、ことごとくあなたの上に暗くし、あなたの国をやみとすると主なる神は言う。
9 And when the people of many nations hear about your being destroyed, many of them will be afraid/worried— people living in countries that you have never known about.
わたしはもろもろの国民、あなたの知らない国々の中に、あなたを捕え移す時、多くの民の心を痛ませる。
10 I will cause many people to be appalled because of [what has happened to] you, and their kings will be horrified and shudder/shake because of your [being destroyed], when I swing my sword in front of them. At the time that you will be destroyed, all of them will tremble, fearing that they also will be killed.”
わたしはあなたについて、多くの民を驚かせる。その王たちは、わたしがわたしのつるぎを、彼らの前に振るう時、あなたの事でおののく。あなたの倒れる日には、彼らはおのおの自分の命を思って、絶えず打ち震える。
11 This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “The swords of [the army of] the King of Babylon will strike you.
主なる神はこう言われる、バビロンの王のつるぎはあなたに臨む。
12 I will cause very many of your people to be killed by the swords of mighty soldiers [from Babylonia], who are more ruthless/cruel than the soldiers of all other nations. They will cause the people of Egypt to quit being proud, because very many [HYP] of their people will be killed.
わたしはあなたの民衆を勇士のつるぎに倒れさせる。彼らは皆、もろもろの国民の中で、最も恐れられている者たちである。彼らはエジプトの誇を断つ、エジプトの民衆は皆滅ぼされる。
13 I will destroy all the cattle in Egypt that (graze/eat grass) alongside the streams. As a result, the water in those streams will never again become muddy because of people and cattle walking in them.
わたしはその家畜をことごとく、多くの水のかたわらから滅ぼす。人の足は再びこれを濁さず、家畜のひずめもこれを乱さない。
14 Then I will allow the streams in Egypt to become calm again and flow [as smoothly] [SIM] as olive oil flows.
その時わたしはその水を清くし、その川々を油のように流れさせると、主なる神は言う。
15 When I cause Egypt to become empty/desolate and strip off everything that grows on the land, and when I get rid of all the people who live there, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”’
わたしはエジプトの国を荒し、その国に満ちるものが、ことごとく取り去られる時、わたしがその中に住む者をことごとく撃つ時、彼らはわたしが主であることを知る。
16 That sad song about Egypt will also be sung by the people. Women of many nations will sing it. They will chant it about Egypt and all its people; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said that it would happen.”
これは悲しみの歌である。人々はこれを歌い、もろもろの国の娘たちはこれを歌う。すなわちエジプトと、そのすべての民衆とのために、これを歌うのであると、主なる神は言われる」。
17 On the fifteenth day of that same month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
第十二年の一月十五日に、主の言葉がわたしに臨んだ、
18 “You human, wail about the many people of Egypt, because I will send them to the place under the earth, where they and people of other mighty nations will be. I will send them there, along with others, down to the place where the dead are.
「人の子よ、エジプトの民衆のために嘆き、これと大いなる国々の娘らとを、下の国に投げ下し、穴に下った者のところに至らせよ。
19 Say to them, ‘You people of [APO] Egypt, [you think that] [IRO, RHQ] you are more beautiful than the people of other nations. But you also will descend to the place where the godless dead people are.
『あなたの美はだれにまさっているか。下って、割礼を受けない者と共に伏せよ』。
20 [Your enemies] will pull out their swords and kill many of you. A huge number of the people of Egypt who remain will be dragged away.
彼らはつるぎに殺される者のうちに倒れる。その民衆はこれと共に伏せる。
21 In the place where the dead people are, mighty leaders [of other countries] will [make fun of the people of Egypt] and say, “They have come here to lie with us godless people who were killed by our enemies’ swords!”’ (Sheol h7585)
勇士の首領はその助け手と共に、陰府の中から彼らに言う、『割礼を受けない者、つるぎに殺された者は下って伏している』と。 (Sheol h7585)
22 [The corpses of the people of] Assyria will be there. They will be surrounded by [corpses of] soldiers who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
アッスリヤとその仲間とはその所におり、その墓はこれを囲む。彼らはみな殺された者、またつるぎに倒れた者である。
23 The people’s graves are there in the deep pit, and [corpses of soldiers of] their army lie around their graves. Corpses of all those who had caused many others in other places to be terrified also will be there, having been killed by swords.
彼らの墓は穴の奥に設けられ、その仲間はその墓の周囲にあり、これはみな殺された者、つるぎに倒れた者、生ける者の地に恐れを起した者である。
24 A great number of the people of Elam will be there. They also were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They had caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified. At that time they will lie there in that deep pit below the earth, and they, along with the others who have gone there, will be disgraced.
その所にエラムがおり、その民衆は皆、その墓の周囲におる。彼らはみな殺された者、つるぎに倒れた者、割礼を受けないで、下の国に下った者、生ける者の地に、恐れを起した者で、穴に下る者と共に、恥を負うのである。
25 They will lie there among others who were slaughtered, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of other people. While they were alive, they caused people of other nations to be terrified; but they were godless, and now, having been killed by [their enemies] swords, they will lie with others in that deep pit, disgraced, all of them avoiding each other.
彼らはそのすべての民衆と共に、殺された者の中に床を置き、その墓はこれを囲む。これは皆、割礼を受けない者、つるぎに殺された者、生ける者の地に恐れを起した者で、穴に下る者と共に恥を負う。彼らは殺された者の中に置かれている。
26 [Corpses of] soldiers of Meshech and Tubal will be there, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of their people. They were all godless people who were killed by swords because while they were alive, they also caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified.
その所にメセクとトバル、およびすべての民衆がおる。その墓はこれを囲む。彼らは皆、割礼を受けない者で、つるぎで殺された者である。生ける者の地に恐れを起したからである。
27 They will surely [RHQ] not be buried honorably like the soldiers who have died, whose shields were buried with their corpses, whose swords were placed on their skulls in the graves. While those godless people were alive, they had caused many people in the land to be terrified, so they were punished for their sins. (Sheol h7585)
彼らは昔の倒れた勇士と共に伏さない。これらの勇士は、武具を持って陰府に下り、つるぎをまくらとし、その盾は骨の上にある。これは勇士の恐れが、生ける者の地にあったからである。 (Sheol h7585)
28 You king of Egypt, you also be killed and will lie there with other godless people who have been killed by [their enemies’] swords.
あなたは割礼を受けない者のうちに、つるぎで殺された者と共に横たわる。
29 People of the Edom people-group will be there, along with their kings and leaders. They were powerful, but they will [be killed and] lie there in the place where the other dead people are. They will lie there in that deep pit, with the other godless people.
その所にエドムとその王たちと、そのすべての君たちがおる。彼らはその力を持つにもかかわらず、かのつるぎで殺された者と共に横たえられ、割礼を受けない者および穴に下る者と共に伏している。
30 All the rulers of countries north [of Israel], including people from Sidon, will be there. Because of their power, they caused people to be terrified, but they will lie there. They were godless, and they will lie there along with others who were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They, along with everyone else who descends into that deep pit, will be disgraced.
その所に北の君たち、およびシドンびとが皆おる。彼らは自分の力によって恐れを起したので、殺された者と共に恥を受けて、下って行った者である。彼らはつるぎで殺された者と共に、割礼を受けずに伏し、穴に下る者と共に恥を負う。
31 The king of Egypt and all his army will see them, and they will be comforted to know that there were other huge groups of people who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
パロは彼らを見る時、そのすべての民衆について慰められる。パロとそのすべての軍勢とは、つるぎで殺されると、主なる神は言われる。
32 While he was living, I allowed him to cause others in many countries to be terrified, but he and his huge army will be there among other godless people who had been killed by [their enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who has said [that it would happen].”
彼は生ける者の国に恐れを広げた。それゆえ、パロとすべての民衆とは、割礼を受けない者のうちにあって、つるぎで殺された者と共に伏すと、主なる神は言われる」。
