< Ezekiel 20 >

1 And it cometh to pass, in the seventh year, in the fifth [month], in the tenth of the month, come in have certain of the elders of Israel to seek Jehovah, and they sit before me;
七年の五月十日にイスラエルの長老の中の人々ヱホバに問んとて來りてわが前に坐しけるに
2 and there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
ヱホバの言我にのぞみて云ふ
3 'Son of man, speak with the elders of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: To seek Me are ye coming in? I live — I am not sought by you — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
人の子よイスラエルの長老等に告て之にいふべし主ヱホバかく言ふ汝等我に問んとて來れるや主ヱホバいふ我は活く我汝らの問を容じと
4 Dost thou judge them? Dost thou judge, son of man? The abominations of their fathers cause them to know,
汝かれらを鞫かんとするや人の子よ汝かれらを鞫かんとするや彼等の先祖等のなしたる憎むべき事等をかれらに知しめて
5 and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In the day of My fixing on Israel, I lift up My hand, To the seed of the house of Jacob, And am known to them in the land of Egypt, And I lift up My hand to them, Saying, I [am] Jehovah your God.
言べし主ヱホバかくいふ我イスラエルを選みヤコブの家の裔にむかひてわが手をあげエジプトの地にて我をかれらに知せかれらにむかひて吾手をあげて我は汝らの神ヱホバなりと言し日
6 In that day I did lift up My hand to them, To bring them forth from the land of Egypt, Unto a land that I spied out for them, Flowing with milk and honey, A beauty it [is] to all the lands,
その日に我かれらにむかひて吾手をあげエジプトの地よりかれらをいだし吾がかれらのために求め得たるその乳と蜜の流るる地に導かんとせり是諸の地の中の美しき者なり
7 And I say unto them, Let each cast away the detestable things of his eyes, And with the idols of Egypt be not defiled, I [am] Jehovah your God.
而して我かれらに言けらく各人その目にあるところの憎むべき事等を棄てよエジプトの偶像をもてその身を汚すなかれ我は汝らの神ヱホバなりと
8 And — they rebel against Me, And have not been willing to hearken to Me, Each, the detestable things of their eyes, They have not cast away, And the idols of Egypt have not forsaken, And I say — to pour out My fury on them, To complete Mine anger against them, In the midst of the land of Egypt.
然るに彼らは我に背きて我に聽したがふことを好まざりき彼等一人もその目にあるところの憎むべき者を棄てずエジプトの偶像を棄てざりしかば我エジプトの地の中において吾憤恨をかれらに注ぎわが忿怒をかれらに洩さんと言り
9 And I do [it] for My name's sake, Not to pollute [it] before the eyes of the nations, In whose midst they [are], Before whose eyes I became known to them, To bring them out from the land of Egypt.
然れども我わが名のために事をなして彼らをエジプトの地より導きいだせり是吾名の異邦人等の前に汚されざらんためなりその異邦人等の中に彼等居り又その前にて我おのれを彼等に知せたり
10 And I bring them out of the land of Egypt, And I bring them in unto the wilderness,
すなはち我エジプトの地より彼等を導き出して曠野に携ゆき
11 And I give to them My statutes, And my judgments I caused them to know, Which the man who doth — liveth by them.
わが法憲をこれに授けわが律法をこれに示せり是は人の行ひて之に由て生べき者なり
12 And also My sabbaths I have given to them, To be for a sign between Me and them, To know that I [am] Jehovah their sanctifier.
我また彼らに安息日を與へて我と彼らの間の徴となしかれらをして吾ヱホバが彼らを聖別しを知しめんとせり
13 And — rebel against me do the house of Israel in the wilderness, In My statutes they have not walked, And My judgments they have despised, Which the man who doth — liveth by them. And My sabbaths they have greatly polluted, And I say to pour out My fury on them in the wilderness, to consume them.
然るにイスラエルの家は曠野にて我に背き人の行ひて之によりて生べき者なるわが法度にあゆまず吾が律法を輕んじ大に吾が安息日を汚したれば曠野にてわが憤恨をかれらに注ぎてこれを滅さんと言ひたりしが
14 And I do [it] for My name's sake, Not to pollute [it] before the eyes of the nations, Before whose eyes I brought them forth.
我わが名のために事をなせり是わが彼らを導きいだして見せしところの異邦人等の目のまへにわが名を汚されざらしめんためなりき
15 And also, I, I have lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, Not to bring them in to the land that I had given, Flowing with milk and honey, A beauty it [is] to all the lands,
但し我曠野にて彼らにむかひて吾手をあげ彼らをわが與へしその乳と蜜の流るる地に導かじと誓へり是は諸の地の中の美しき者なり
16 Because against My judgments they did kick, And in My statutes they have not walked, And My sabbaths they have polluted, For after their idols their heart is going.
是かれら心にその偶像を慕ひてわが律法を輕んじ棄てわが法憲にあゆまずわが安息日を汚したればなり
17 And Mine eye hath pity on them — against destroying them, And I have not made of them an end in the wilderness.
然りといへども吾かれらを惜み見てかれらを滅ぼさず曠野にて彼らを絕さざりき
18 And I say to their sons in the wilderness: In the statutes of your fathers ye walk not, And their judgments ye do not observe, And with their idols ye are not defiled.
我曠野にてかれらの子等に言り汝らの父の法度にあゆむなかれ汝らの律法を守るなかれ汝らの偶像をもて汝らの身を汚すなかれ
19 I [am] Jehovah your God, in My statutes walk, And My judgments observe, and do them,
我は汝らの神ヱホバなり吾法度にあゆみ吾律法を守りてこれを行ひ
20 And My sabbaths sanctify, And they have been for a sign between Me and you, To know that I, Jehovah, [am] your God.
わが安息日を聖くせよ是は我と汝らの間の徴となりて汝らをして我が汝らの神ヱホバなるを知しめんと
21 And — the sons rebel against Me, In My statutes they have not walked, And My judgments they have not observed — to do them, Which the man who doth — liveth by them. My sabbaths they have polluted, And I say to pour out My fury upon them, To complete Mine anger against them in the wilderness.
然るにその子等我にそむき人の行ひてこれによりて活べき者なるわが法度にあゆまず吾律法をまもりて之をおこなはずわが安息日を汚したれば我わが憤恨を彼らにそそぎ曠野にてわが忿怒をかれらに洩さんと言たりしが
22 And I have turned back My hand, And I do [it] for My name's sake, Not to pollute [it] before the eyes of the nations, Before whose eyes I brought them out.
吾手を翻してわが名のために事をなせり是わが彼らを導き出して見せしところの異邦人等の目のまへにわが名を汚されざらしめんためなりき
23 I also, I have lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness, To scatter them among nations, And to spread them through lands.
但し我汝らを國々に散し處々に撒んと曠野にてかれらにむかひて我手を擧たり
24 Because My judgments they have not done, And My statutes they have despised, And My sabbaths they have polluted, And after idols of their fathers have their eyes been.
是かれらわが律法を行はずわが法度を輕じわが安息日をけがしその父の偶像を目に慕ひたればなり
25 And I also, I have given to them statutes not good, And judgments by which they do not live.
我かれらに善らぬ法度を與へかれらが由て活べからざる律法を與へ
26 And I defile them by their own gifts, By causing to pass away every opener of a womb, So that I make them desolate, So that they know that I [am] Jehovah.
彼らをしてその禮物によりて己の身を汚さしむ即ちかれらその長子をして火の中を通過しめたり是は我彼らを滅し彼らをして我のヱホバなるを知しめんためなり
27 Therefore, speak unto the house of Israel, son of man, and thou hast said unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Still in this have your fathers reviled Me, In their committing against Me a trespass.
然ば人の子よイスラエルの家につげて之にいふべし主ヱホバかくいひたまふ彼らの父等は更にまた不忠の罪ををかし我を瀆せり
28 And I bring them in unto the land, That I did lift up My hand to give to them, And they see every high hill, and every thick tree, And they sacrifice there their sacrifices, And give there the provocation of their offering, And make there their sweet fragrance, And they pour out there their libations.
我わが彼らに與へんと手をあげし此地にかれらを導きいれしに彼ら諸の高丘と諸の茂樹を尋ね得てその犠牲を其處に供へその憤らしき禮物をそこに獻げその馨しき佳氣をそこに奉つりその神酒をそこに灌げり
29 And I say unto them: What [is] the high place whither ye are going in? And its name is called 'high place' to this day.
我かれらに言り汝らが往ところの崇き處は何なるやと其名は今日にいたるまでバマと言ふなり
30 Therefore, say unto the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In the way of your fathers are ye defiled? And after their detestable things go a-whoring?
この故にイスラエルの家に言ふべし主ヱホバかくいひたまふ汝らの先祖の途をもて汝らはその身を汚し彼等の憎むべき物をしたひてこれと姦淫を行ふにあらずや
31 And in the offering of your gifts, In causing your sons to pass through fire, Ye are defiled by all your idols to this day, And I am sought by you, O house of Israel! I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, I am not sought by you.
汝等はその禮物を獻げその子女に火の中を通らしめて今日にいたるまで汝らの諸の偶像をもてその身を汚すなり然ばイスラエルの家よ我なんぢらの問を容るべけんや主ヱホバいふ我は活く我は汝らの問を容ざるなり
32 And that which is going up on your mind, It is not at all — in that ye are saying: We will be as the nations, as the families of the lands, To serve wood and stone.
汝ら我儕は木と石に事へて異邦人の如くなり國々の宗族のごとくならんと言ば汝らの心に起るところの事は必ず成ざるべし
33 I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Do not I, with a strong hand, And with a stretched-out arm, And with fury poured out — rule over you?
主ヱホバいふ我は生く我かならず強き手と伸たる腕をもて怒を注ぎて汝らを治めん
34 And I have brought you forth from the peoples, And assembled you from the lands In which ye have been scattered, With a strong hand and with a stretched-out arm, And with fury poured out.
我強き手と伸たる腕をもて怒を注ぎて汝らを國々より曳いだし汝らが散れたる處々より汝らを集め
35 And I have brought you in unto the wilderness of the peoples, And have been judged with you there face to face.
國々の曠野に汝らを導き其處にて面をあはせて汝らを鞫かん
36 As I was judged with your fathers, In the wilderness of the land of Egypt, So I am judged with you, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
主ヱホバいふ我エジプトの曠野にて汝らの先祖等を鞫きしごとくに汝らを鞫くべし
37 And I have caused you to pass under the rod, And brought you into the bond of the covenant,
我なんぢらをして杖の下を通らしめ契約の索に汝らを入しめ
38 And cleared out from you the rebels, And them transgressing against Me, From the land of their sojournings I bring them out, And unto the land of Israel they come not, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.
汝らの中より背ける者および我に悖れる者を別たんその寓れる地より我かれらをいだすべし彼らはイスラエルの地に來らざるべし汝らすなはち我のヱホバなるを知ん
39 And ye, O house of Israel, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Each his idols — go — serve ye, And, afterwards, if ye are not hearkening to me, And My holy name ye do not pollute any more by your gifts, and by your idols.
然ばイスラエルの家よ主ヱホバかくいふ汝等おのおの往てその偶像に事へよ然ど後には汝らかならず我に聽て重てその禮物と偶像をもてわが名を汚さざるべし
40 For, in My holy mountain, In the mountain of the height of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, There serve Me do all the house of Israel, All of it, in the land — there I accept them, And there I do seek your heave-offerings, And with the first-fruit of your gifts, With all your holy things.
主ヱホバいふ吾が聖山の上イスラエルの高山の上にてイスラエルの全家その地の者皆我に事へん其處にて我かれらを悦びて受納ん其處にて我なんぢらの獻物および初成の禮物すべて汝らが聖別たる者を求むべし
41 With sweet fragrance I do accept you, In My bringing you out from the peoples, And I have assembled you from the lands In which ye have been scattered, And I have been sanctified in you Before the eyes of the nations.
我汝らを國々より導き出し汝らが散されたる處々より汝らを集むる時馨しき香氣のごとくに汝らを悦びて受納れ汝らによりて異邦人等の目のまへに我の聖ことをあらはすべし
42 And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My bringing you to the ground of Israel, Unto the land that I did lift up My hand To give it to your fathers,
我が汝らをイスラエルの地すなはちわが汝らの先祖等にあたへんと手をあげしところの地にいたらしめん時に汝等は我のヱホバなるを知るにいたらん
43 And ye have remembered there your ways, And all your doings, In which ye have been defiled, And ye have been loathsome in your own faces, For all your evils that ye have done.
汝らは其身を汚したるところの汝らの途と汝らのもろもろの行爲を彼處にて憶え其なしたる諸の惡き作爲のために自ら恨み視ん
44 And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My dealing with you for My name's sake, Not according to your evil ways, And according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
イスラエルの家よ我汝らの惡き途によらず汝らの邪なる作爲によらずして吾名のために汝等を待はん時に汝らは我のヱホバなるを知るにいたらん主ヱホバこれを言ふなり
45 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ
46 Son of man, set thy face the way of Teman, and prophesy unto the south, and prophesy unto the forest of the field — the south;
人の子よ汝の面を南方に向け南にむかひて言を垂れ南の野の森の事を預言せよ
47 and thou hast said to the forest of the south: Hear a word of Jehovah: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am kindling in thee a fire, And it hath devoured in thee every moist tree, and every dry tree, Not quenched is the glowing flames, And burnt by it have been all faces from south to north.
すなはち南の森に言ふべしヱホバの言を聽け主ヱホバかく言ふ視よ我なんぢの中に火を燃さん是なんぢの中の諸の靑樹と諸の枯木を焚べしその烈しき火焰消ることなし南より北まで諸の面これがために燒ん
48 And seen have all flesh, that I, Jehovah, have kindled it — it is not quenched.'
肉ある者みな我ヱホバのこれを燒しなるを見ん是は消ざるべし
49 And I say, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah, They are saying of me, Is he not using similes?
我是において言り嗚呼主ヱホバよ人われを指て言ふ彼は譬言をもて語るにあらずやと
