< Ezekiel 34 >
1 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
ヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ
2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and tell them, even the shepherds, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Shouldn’t the shepherds feed the sheep?
人の子よ汝イスラエルの牧者の事を預言せよ預言して彼ら牧者に言ふべし主ヱホバかく言ふ己を牧ふところのイスラエルの牧者は禍なるかな牧者は群を牧ふべき者ならずや
3 You eat the fat. You clothe yourself with the wool. You kill the fatlings, but you don’t feed the sheep.
汝らは脂を食ひ毛を纏ひ肥たる物を屠りその群をば牧はざるなり
4 You haven’t strengthened the diseased. You haven’t healed that which was sick. You haven’t bound up that which was broken. You haven’t brought back that which was driven away. You haven’t sought that which was lost, but you have ruled over them with force and with rigor.
汝ら其弱き者を強くせずその病る者を醫さずその傷ける者を裹まず散されたる者をひきかへらず失たる者を尋ねず手荒に嚴刻く之を治む
5 They were scattered, because there was no shepherd. They became food to all the animals of the field, and were scattered.
是は牧者なきに因て散り失せ野の諸の獸の餌となりて散失するなり
6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains and on every high hill. Yes, my sheep were scattered on all the surface of the earth. There was no one who searched or sought.”
我羊は諸の山々に諸の高丘に迷ふ我羊全地の表に散りをれど之を索す者なく尋ぬる者なし
7 “‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear the LORD’s word:
是故に牧者よ汝らヱホバの言を聽け
8 “As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “surely because my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the animals of the field, because there was no shepherd, and my shepherds didn’t search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and didn’t feed my sheep,
主ヱホバ言たまふ我は活く我羊掠められわが羊野の諸の獸の餌となる又牧者あらず我牧者わが羊を尋ねず牧者己を牧ふてわが羊を牧はず
9 therefore, you shepherds, hear the LORD’s word!”
是故に牧者よ汝らヱホバの言を聞け
10 The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against the shepherds. I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep. The shepherds won’t feed themselves any more. I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.”
主ヱホバ斯言たまふ視よ我牧者等を罰し吾羊を彼らの手に討問め彼等をしてわが群を牧ふことを止しめて再び己を牧ふことなからしめ又わが羊をかれらの口より救とりてかれらの食とならざらしむべし
11 “‘For the Lord GOD says: “Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out.
主ヱホバかく言たまふ我みづからわが群を索して之を守らん
12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so I will seek out my sheep. I will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
牧者がその散たる羊の中にある日にその群を守るごとく我わが群を守り之がその雲深き暗き日に散たる諸の處よりこれを救ひとるべし
13 I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
我かれらを諸の民の中より導き出し諸の國より集めてその國に携へいりイスラエルの山の上と谷の中および國の凡の住居處にて彼らを養はん
14 I will feed them with good pasture, and their fold will be on the mountains of the height of Israel. There they will lie down in a good fold. They will feed on rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.
善き牧場にて我かれらを牧はんその休息處はイスラエルの高山にあるべし彼處にて彼らは善き休息所に臥しイスラエルの山々の上にて肥たる牧場に草を食はん
15 I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down,” says the Lord GOD.
主ヱホバいひたまふ我みづから我群を牧ひ之を偃しむべし
16 “I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong. I will feed them in justice.”’
亡たる者は我これを尋ね逐はなたれたる者はこれを引返り傷けられたる者はこれを裹み病る者はこれを強くせん然ど肥たる者と強き者は我これを滅さん我公道をもて之を牧ふべし
17 “As for you, O my flock, the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the male goats.
主ヱホバかく言たまふ汝等わが群よ我羊と羊の間および牡羊と牡山羊の間の審判をなさん
18 Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed on the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? And to have drunk of the clear waters, but must you foul the residue with your feet?
汝等は善き牧場に草食ひ足をもてその殘れる草を蹈あらし又淸たる水を飮み足をもてその殘餘を濁す是汝等にとりて小き事ならんや
19 As for my sheep, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which you have fouled with your feet.’
わが群汝等が足にて蹈あらしたる者を食ひ汝等が足にて濁したる者を飮べけんや
20 “Therefore the Lord GOD says to them: ‘Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
是をもて主ヱホバ斯かれらに言たまふ視よ我肥たる羊と痩たる羊の間を審判くべし
21 Because you thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, until you have scattered them abroad,
汝等は脅と肩とをもて擠し角をもて弱き者を盡く衝て遂に之を外に逐散せり
22 therefore I will save my flock, and they will no more be a prey. I will judge between sheep and sheep.
是によりて我わが群を助けて再び掠められざらしめ又羊と羊の間をさばくべし
23 I will set up one shepherd over them, and he will feed them, even my servant David. He will feed them, and he will be their shepherd.
我かれらの上に一人の牧者をたてん其人かれらを牧ふべし是わが僕ダビデなり彼はかれらを牧ひ彼らの牧者となるべし
24 I, the LORD, will be their God, and my servant David prince among them. I, the LORD, have spoken it.
我ヱホバかれらの神とならん吾僕ダビデかれらの中に君たるべし我ヱホバこれを言ふ
25 “‘I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil animals to cease out of the land. They will dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods.
我かれらと平和の契約を結び國の中より惡き獸を滅し絕つべし彼らすなはち安かに野に住み森に眠らん
26 I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing. I will cause the shower to come down in its season. There will be showers of blessing.
我彼らおよび吾山の周圍の處々に福祉を下し時に隨ひて雨を降しめん是すなはち福祉の雨なるべし
27 The tree of the field will yield its fruit, and the earth will yield its increase, and they will be secure in their land. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made slaves of them.
野の樹はその實を結び地はその產物を出さん彼等は安然にその國にあるべし我がかれらの軛を碎き彼らをその僕となせる人の手より救ひいだす時に彼等は我のヱホバなるを知べし
28 They will no more be a prey to the nations, neither will the animals of the earth devour them; but they will dwell securely, and no one will make them afraid.
彼等は重ねて國々の民に掠めらるる事なく野の獸かれらを食ふことなかるべし彼等は安然に住はん彼等を懼れしむる者なかるべし
29 I will raise up to them a plantation for renown, and they will no more be consumed with famine in the land, and not bear the shame of the nations any more.
我かれらのために一の栽植處を起してその名を聞えしめん彼等は重ねて國の饑饉に滅ぶることなく再び外邦人の凌辱を蒙ることなかるべし
30 They will know that I, the LORD, their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, says the Lord GOD.
彼らはその神なる我ヱホバが己と共にあるを知り自己イスラエルの家はわが民なることを知るべし主ヱホバこれを言ふ
31 You my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God,’ says the Lord GOD.”
汝等はわが羊わが牧場の群なり汝等は人なり我は汝らの神なりと主ヱホバ言たまふ
