エゼキエル書 12
1 ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて云ふ
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 人の子よ汝は背戻る家の中に居る彼等は見る目あれども見ず聞く耳あれども聞ず背戻る家なり
“Son of man, you are living among rebellious people. They have eyes to see but they don't see, and ears to hear but they don't hear, because they are rebellious people.
3 然ば人の子よ移住の器具を備へかれらの目の前にて晝の中に移れ彼らの目の前にて汝の處より他の處に移るべし彼等は背戻る家なれども或は見て考ふることあらん
So, son of man, go and pack your bags as if you're going into exile. As people watch, get everything ready during the day so you can leave where you are and go somewhere else. Maybe they will realize what this means, even though they are rebellious people.
4 汝移住の器具のごとき器具を彼等の目の前にて晝の中に持いだせ而して移住者の出ゆくがごとく彼等の目の前にて宵の中に出ゆくべし
Take your bags out for traveling into exile during the day while they watch. But you yourself are to leave in the evening as they watch, just like someone going into exile.
5 即ちかれらの目の前にて壁をやぶりて之を其處より持いだせ
While they go on watching, knock down part of the wall of your house and take your belongings out through the hole.
6 彼らの目の前にてこれを肩に負ひ黑暗の中にこれを持いだすべし汝の面を掩へ地を見るなかれ我汝を豫兆となしてイスラエルの家に示すなり
When it gets dark, as they continue to watch, put your bags on your shoulder and carry them as you leave. Cover your face so that you can't see the country you're leaving behind, because I'm providing you as a sign to warn the people of Israel.”
7 我すなはち命ぜられしごとく爲し移住の器具のごとき器具を晝の中に持いだし又宵に手をもて壁をやぶり黑暗の中にこれを持いだし彼らの目の前にてこれを肩に負り
So I did as I was told. I took my bags out to go into exile during the day, and in the evening I knocked down part of the wall of my house with my bare hands. I took my belongings out when it got dark, carrying them on my shoulder while they watched.
8 明旦におよびてヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ
In the morning a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
9 人の子よ背戻る家なるイスラエルの家汝にむかひて汝なにを爲やと言しにあらずや
“Son of man, haven't those rebellious Israelites asked you, ‘What are you doing?’
10 汝かれらに言ふべし主ヱホバかく言たまふこの負荷はヱルサレムの君主および彼等の中なるイスラエルの全家に當るなり
Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: ‘This prophetic sign concerns the prince who is ruling in Jerusalem and all the people of Israel who are living there.’
11 汝また言ふべし我は汝等の豫兆なりわが爲るごとく彼等然なるべし彼等は擄へうつされん
You are to say to them, ‘I'm a sign to you.’ Just as it was demonstrated here, so it will happen to them—they will go into exile as prisoners.
12 彼らの中の君主たる者黑暗のうちに物を肩に載て出ゆかん彼等壁をやぶりて其處より物を持いだすべし彼はその面を覆ひて土地を目に見ざらん
When it gets dark, their prince will also put his bags on his shoulder and leave. They will knock down the wall to take him away. He will cover his face so he can't see the country he's leaving behind.
13 我わが網を彼の上に打かけん彼はわが羅にかかるべし我かれをカルデヤ人の地に曳ゆきてバビロンにいたらしめん然れども彼はこれを見ずして其處に死べし
But I will catch him in my net; I will trap him in my snare. I will take him to Babylon in the country of Babylonia. However, won't see it, and he'll die there.
14 凡て彼の四周にありて彼を助くる者およびその軍兵は皆我これを四方に散し刀刃をぬきて其後をおふべし
I'm going to scatter all his attendants and all his troops in every direction, and I will chase after them with a drawn sword.
15 吾がかれらを諸の民の中に散し國々に撒布さん時にいたりて彼らは我のヱホバなるをしるべし
They will know that I am the Lord when I scatter them among the different nations and countries.
16 但し我かれらの中に僅少の人を遺して劍と饑饉と疫病を免れしめ彼らをしてそのおこなひし諸の憎むべき事をその到るところの民の中に述しめん彼等はわがヱホバなるを知るにいたらん
But I will let a few of them survive war, famine, and disease so that they can tell the nations where they're exiled about all their disgusting sins. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
17 ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
18 人の子よ汝發震て食物を食ひ戰慄と恐懼をもて水を飮め
“Son of man, tremble as you eat your bread; shake with worry as you drink your water.
19 而してこの地の民に言べし主ヱホバ、ヱルサレムの民のイスラエルにをる者に斯いひたまふ彼等は懼れて食物を食ひ驚きて水を飮にいたるべし是はその地凡てその中に住る者の暴逆のために富饒をうしなひて荒地となるが故なり
Then explain to the people of this country that this is what the Lord God says to those living in Jerusalem and in the country of Israel: They will be worried as eat their bread and they will be in despair as they drink their water, for their land will be stripped bare because of the violent crimes committed by everyone who lives there.
20 人の住る邑々は荒はて國は滅亡ぶべし汝等すなはち我がヱホバなるを知ん
The towns will be destroyed, and the countryside turned into a wasteland. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”
21 ヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ
Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
22 人の子よイスラエルの國の中に汝等いふ日は延び默示はみな空しくなれりと是何の言ぞや
“Son of man, what's this proverb you people have in the land of Israel: ‘Time goes by, and no vision comes true’?
23 是故に汝彼等に言べし主ヱホバかくいひ給ふ我この言を止め彼等をして再びこれをイスラエルの中に言ことなからしめん即ち汝かれらに言へ其日とその諸の默示の言は近づけりと
So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: ‘I will put a stop to this proverb. No one in Israel will quote it anymore.’ Instead tell them: The time is soon coming when every vision will come true.
24 イスラエルの家には此後重ねて空浮き默示と虛僞の占卜あらざるべし
There won't be any more false visions or fake prophecies among the Israelites,
25 夫我はヱホバなり我わが言をいださん吾いふところは必ず成んかさねて延ることあらじ背戻る家よ汝等が世にある日に我言を發して之を成すべし主ヱホバこれを言ふ
because I, the Lord, will say whatever I choose to say, and it will happen immediately. Right now, you rebellious people, I will say something and make sure it happens, declares the Lord God.”
26 ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ
An additional message from the Lord came to me, saying,
27 人の子よ視よイスラエルの家言ふ彼が見たる默示は許多の日の後の事にして彼は遙後の事を預言するのみと
“Son of man, notice what the people of Israel are saying, ‘The vision that he's describing won't happen for a long time. He's prophesying about a time in the distant future.’
28 是故にかれらに言ふべし主ヱホバかくいひたまふ我言はみな重ねて延ず吾がいへる言は成べしと主ヱホバこれを言ふなり
So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Everything I've said is about to happen. There won't be any more delay, declares the Lord God.”
