< エゼキエル書 11 >

1 茲に靈我を擧げてヱホバの室の東の門に我を携へゆけり門は東に向ふ視るにその門の入口に二十五人の人あり我その中にアズルの子ヤザニヤおよびベナヤの子ペラテヤ即ち民の牧伯等を見る
Moreover the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the LORD’s house, which looks eastward. Behold, twenty-five men were at the door of the gate; and I saw among them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
2 彼われに言たまひけるは人の子よ此邑において惡き事を考へ惡き計謀をめぐらす者は此人々なり
He said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city;
3 彼等いふ家を建ることは近からず此邑は鍋にして我儕は肉なりと
who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses. This is the cauldron, and we are the meat.’
4 是故にかれらに預言せよ人の子よ預言すべし
Therefore prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man.”
5 時にヱホバの靈わが上に降りて我にいひ給ひけるはヱホバかく言ふと言べしイスラエルの家よ汝等は斯いへり汝等の心におこる所の事は我これを知るなり
The LORD’s Spirit fell on me, and he said to me, “Speak, ‘The LORD says: “Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
6 汝等は此邑に殺さるる者を増し死人をもて街衢に充せり
You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.”
7 是故に主ヱホバ斯いふ汝等が邑の中に置くところのその殺されし者はすなはち肉にして邑は鍋なり然ど人邑の中より汝等を曳いだすべし
“‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Your slain whom you have laid in the middle of it, they are the meat, and this is the cauldron; but you will be brought out of the middle of it.
8 汝等は刀劍を懼る我劍を汝等にのぞましめんと主ヱホバいひたまふ
You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you,” says the Lord GOD.
9 我なんぢらを其中よりひき出し外國人の手に付して汝等に罰をかうむらすべし
“I will bring you out of the middle of it, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
10 汝等は劍に踣れん我イスラエルの境にて汝等を罰すべし汝等は是によりてわがヱホバなるを知るにいたらん
You will fall by the sword. I will judge you in the border of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
11 是は汝らの鍋とならず汝らはその中の肉たることを得ざるなりイスラエルの境にて我汝らに罰をかうむらすべし
This will not be your cauldron, neither will you be the meat in the middle of it. I will judge you in the border of Israel.
12 汝ら即ちわがヱホバなるを知にいたらん汝らはわが憲法に遵はずわが律法を行はずしてその周圍の外國人の慣例のごとくに事をなせり
You will know that I am the LORD, for you have not walked in my statutes. You have not executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you.”’”
13 斯てわが預言しをる時にベナヤの子ペラテヤ死たれば我俯向に伏て大聲に叫び嗚呼主ヱホバよイスラエルの遺餘者を盡く滅ぼさんとしたまふやといふに
When I prophesied, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, “Ah Lord GOD! Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?”
14 ヱホバの言われに臨みていふ
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
15 人の子よ汝の兄弟汝の兄弟たる者は汝の親族の人々にして即ちイスラエルの全家全躰なりヱルサレムに居る人々は是にむかひて汝等は遠くヱホバをはなれて居れ此地はわれらの所有としてあたへらると言ふ
“Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, the men of your relatives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, are the ones to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Go far away from the LORD. This land has been given to us for a possession.’
16 是故に汝言ふべしヱホバかく言ひたまふ我かれらを遠く逐やりて國々に散したればその往る國々に於て暫時の間かれらの聖所となると
“Therefore say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet I will be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come.”’
17 是故に言ふべし主ヱホバかく言たまふ我なんぢらを諸の民の中より集へ汝等をその散されたる國々より聚めてイスラエルの地を汝らに與へん
“Therefore say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.”
18 彼等は彼處に到りその諸の汚たる者とその諸の憎むべき者を彼處より取除かん
“‘They will come there, and they will take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from there.
19 我かれらに唯一の心を與へ新しき靈を汝らの衷に賦けん我かれらの身の中より石の心を取さりて肉の心を與ヘ
I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them. I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh,
20 彼らをしてわが憲法に遵はしめ吾律法を守りて之を行はしむべし彼らはわが民となり我はかれらの神とならん
that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
21 然どその汚れたる者とその憎むべき者の心をもておのれの心となす者等は我これが行ふところをその首に報ゆべし主ヱホバこれを言ふ
But as for them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads,’ says the Lord GOD.”
22 茲にケルビムその翼をあぐ輪その傍にありイスラエルの神の榮光その上に在す
Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them. The glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
23 ヱホバの榮光つひに邑の中より昇りて邑の東の山に立てり
The LORD’s glory went up from the middle of the city, and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
24 時に靈われを擧げ神の靈に由りて異象の中に我をカルデヤに携へゆきて俘囚者の所にいたらしむ吾見たる異象すなはちわれを離れて昇れり
The Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to the captives. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
25 かくて我ヱホバの我にしめしたまひし言を盡く俘囚者に告たり
Then I spoke to the captives all the things that the LORD had shown me.
