エゼキエル書 12

1 ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて云ふ

Then came the word of Yahweh unto 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. In the midst of a perverse house, dost thou dwell, — Who have eyes to see—and have not seen. Ears have they to hear—and have no heard, For a perverse house, they are.

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

Thou, therefore Son of man, Prepare thee baggage for exile, and exile thyself, by day, before their eyes, —so shalt thou exile thyself out of thy place unto another place before their eyes, peradventure they will consider— though a perverse house, they are.

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

Therefore shalt thou take forth thy baggage as baggage for exile, by day before their eyes, —and thou thyself, shalt go forth in the evening, before their eyes, like them who go forth to 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

Before their eyes, break thou forth by thyself through the wall, —and carry forth through it.

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

Before their eyes, Upon the shoulder, shalt thou lift it. In thick darkness, take it forth, Thy face, shalt thou cover so that thou see not the land; For a sign, have I appointed thee to the house 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

And I did so, just as I was commanded, My baggage, took I forth as baggage for exile by day, and in the evening, I brake forth by myself through the wall, by force: in the twilight, I took it forth—on to my shoulder, I lifted it, before their eyes.

8 明旦におよびてヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ

Then came the word of Yahweh unto me in the morning, 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, Have not the house of Israel the perverse house, said unto thee, — What art thou 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

Say unto them, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, — [For] the Bearer, is this burden, in Jerusalem, and [for] all the house of Israel such as are in their midst.

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

Say, I, am your sign: As I have done, so. shall it be done to them, Into exile—into captivity, shall they go.

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

Yea, the Bearer who is in their midst, Upon his shoulder, shall lift it. In thick darkness, shall he go forth, Through the wall, shall they break to bear forth through it, — His face, shall he cover, to the end that, his own eye, may not see the land.

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

Then will I spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my snare; And I will take him to Babylon. in the land of the Chaldeans, The which, indeed, he shall not see. And yet there, shall he die!

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

And all who are round about him to help him and all his troops, will I scatter to every wind, —and, a sword, will I make bare after them.

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

So shall they know that, I, am Yahweh, — By my dispersing them among the nations, And scattering them throughout the lands.

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

Yet will I leave remaining of them men easily counted, from the sword from the famine and from the pestilence, —that they may recount all their abominations among the nations whither they have come, So shall they know that, I, am Yahweh.

17 ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ

Then came the word of Yahweh unto 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, Thy bread with trembling, shalt thou eat, — And, thy water in agitation and in fear, shalt thou drink.

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 shalt thou say unto the people of the land, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem upon the soil of Israel, Their bread with anxious care, shall they eat, And, their water in astonishment, shall they drink, — That her land, may be deserted, of her fulness, because of the violence of all them who dwell therein:

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

Yea, the cities that are inhabited, shall be laid waste, And, the land, shall become, an astonishment, — So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.

21 ヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ

And the word of Yahweh came unto 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 is this proverb ye have, concerning the soil of Israel, saying, — The days, are prolonged, Therefore shall every vision come to nought?

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

Therefore say unto them, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, I will cause this proverb to cease, And they shall use it as a proverb no more in Israel, — But speak unto them, The days, are drawn near, And the substance of every vision.

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

For there shall no more be— Any vision of falsehood Or divination of deceit, In the midst of the house of Israel.

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

For, I, Yahweh will speak whatsoever word I please to speak, And it shall be done, It shall not be delayed any more, — For in your own days, O perverse house, will I speak a word and perform it, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh.

26 ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ

And the word of Yahweh came unto 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. Lo! the house of Israel are saying, the vision which he seeth is for many days, Yea for times far away, hath he prophesied.

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

Therefore say unto them. Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, None of my words shall be delayed any more, — Whatsoever word I speak, then shall it be performed, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
