Ezekiel 5
1 “Also, you human, [when you start doing those things, ] take a sharp sword and use it like [SIM] a razor to shave your head and your beard. Then put the hair that you shaved off on scales, and divide the [into three equal parts].
人の子よ、鋭いつるぎを取り、それを理髪師のかみそりとして、あなたの頭と、ひげとをそり、はかりで量って、その毛を分けなさい。
2 When the time during [you will symbolize that] the city will be [by enemy troops] ends, put a third of the hair inside [drawing of the] city and burn it. Take another third of the hair, [scatter it] all [the drawing of] the city, and then strike it with your sword. That will symbolize that I will strike the people of Jerusalem [their enemies’] swords. Then allow the wind to scatter the other third of the hair. That will symbolize [even if they flee from the city], I will [cause their enemies to] pursue them and attack them with swords.
その三分の一は包囲の期間の終る時、町の中で火で焼き、また三分の一を取り、つるぎで町のまわりでこれを打ち、さらに三分の一を風に散らしなさい。わたしはつるぎを抜いて、彼らのあとを追う。
3 Take a few of your hairs and tuck them into the folds of your robe.
あなたはその毛を少し取って、衣のすそに包み、
4 Then take a few of those hairs, throw them into the fire, and burn them up. [That will symbolize that] a fire will spread from Jerusalem [and destroy things] throughout Israel.
またそのうちから少しを取って火の中に投げ入れ、火でこれを焼きなさい。火はその中から出て、イスラエルの全家に及ぶ。
5 This is what [I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘[drawing will represent] Jerusalem, [the city which] I have set in the center of the nations, with [other] countries around it.
主なる神はこう言われる、わたしはこのエルサレムを万国の中に置き、国々をそのまわりに置いた。
6 But the wicked people of Jerusalem rebelled against [obeying] my commands, and [they show that] they are more wicked than the people of the surrounding countries. They rejected my laws and refused to obey my commands.’
エルサレムは他の国々よりも悪しく、わたしのおきてにそむき、そのまわりの国々よりもわたしの定めにそむいた。すなわち彼らはわたしのおきてを捨て、わたしの定めに歩まなかった。
7 Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘You people of Jerusalem have been more rebellious than the people of the nations around you; you have not obeyed any of my laws [DOU]. You have not even obeyed the laws of the nations around you!’
それゆえ主はこう言われる、あなたがたはそのまわりにいる異邦人よりも狂暴であって、わたしの定めに歩まず、わたしのおきてを行わず、むしろ、あなたがたの回りにいる異邦人のおきてを守っていた。
8 Therefore, this is [I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘I am opposed to [you people of] Jerusalem. I will punish you, and the [people of other] nations will see it happen.
それゆえ主なる神はこう言われる、見よ、わたしはあなたを攻め、異邦人の目の前で、あなたの中にさばきを行う。
9 Because of all your detestable [idols], I will punish [people of Jerusalem] like I have never done before and will never do again.
あなたのもろもろの憎むべき事のために、わたしがまだした事のないような事、またこの後ふたたびしないような事をあなたに対してする。
10 As a result, parents among you will eat their children, and children will eat their [because there will be nothing else to eat]. I will punish you [severely], and I will cause those who will still be alive to be scattered in all directions [IDM].’
それゆえ、あなたのうちで父はその子を食い、子はその父を食う。わたしはあなたに対してさばきを行い、あなたのうちの残りの者をことごとく四方の風に散らす。
11 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, because you have polluted my temple with all your disgusting [statues of idols] and by the other detestable things that you do, I will no longer bless you. I will not pity [you] or act mercifully [toward you].
それゆえ、主なる神は言われる、わたしは生きている。あなたはその忌むべき物と、その憎むべき事とをもって、わたしの聖所を汚したので、わたしは必ずあなたの数を減らす。わたしの目はあなたを惜しみ見ず、またわたしはあなたをあわれまない。
12 One-third of your people will die inside the city because of the plagues [they will experience] or by (famine/lack of food). One-third of your people will be killed [your enemies’] swords outside the city. And one-third I will cause to be scattered in all directions; [your enemies] will [still] pursue you and kill you with their swords.
あなたの三分の一はあなたの中で疫病で死に、ききんで滅び、三分の一はあなたのまわりでつるぎに倒れ、三分の一は四方の風に散らされる。わたしはつるぎを抜いてそのあとを追う。
13 Then I will no longer be angry with you; I will stop punishing [MTY] you after I have gotten revenge on you. And when I stop punishing you, you will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken to you because I have been very strongly concerned [what you have done].
こうしてわたしは怒りを漏らし尽し、憤りを彼らの上に漏らして、満足する。こうして、わたしの憤りを彼らの上に漏らし尽した時、彼らは主であるわたしが熱心に語ったことを知るであろう。
14 I will cause your [city] to be a ruins, with the result that [people of other] nations that are around you will pass by and see it and sneer at you.
わたしはまわりにある国々の中と、すべてそばを通る者の目の前であなたを滅亡とあざけりに渡す。
15 They will make fun of you and taunt you. When I severely punish you because of my being very angry [DOU] with you, they will be horrified and they will be warned. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
わたしが怒りと、憤りと、重い懲罰とをもって、あなたに対してさばきを行う時、あなたはそのまわりにある国々のあざけりとなり、そしりとなり、戒めとなり、驚きとなる。これは主であるわたしが語るのである。
16 When I cut off your food supply and cause there to be more famine, [it will be as though] [MET] I am shooting at you with my arrows that will destroy you.
すなわち、わたしがあなたを滅ぼすききんの矢、滅亡の矢をあなたに放つ時、わたしはあなたを滅ぼすために放つのだ。わたしはあなたの上にききんを増し加え、あなたがつえとするパンを打ち砕く。
17 I will cause you to experience a famine, and I will send wild beasts to attack you and your children, and [all] your children will be killed. You will experience plagues and wars, and I will cause [your enemies] to attack you with their swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
わたしはあなたにききんと野獣を送って、あなたの子を奪い取り、また疫病と流血にあなたの中を通らせ、またつるぎをあなたに送る。主であるわたしがこれを言う」。
