エゼキエル書 13
1 ヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ
The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 人の子よ預言を事とするイスラエルの預言者にむかひて預言せよ彼のおのれの心のままに預言する者等に言ふべし汝らヱホバの言を聽け
“Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy out of their own heart, ‘Hear the LORD’s word:
3 主ヱホバかくいひ給ふ彼の何をも見ずして己の心のままに行ふところの愚なる預言者は禍なるかな
The Lord GOD says, “Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
4 イスラエルよ汝の預言者は荒墟にをる狐のごとくなり
Israel, your prophets have been like foxes in the waste places.
5 汝等は破壞口を守らずまたイスラエルの家の四周に石垣を築きてヱホバの日に防ぎ戰はんともせざるなり
You have not gone up into the gaps or built up the wall for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the LORD’s day.
6 彼らは虛浮者および虛妄の占卜を見る彼等はヱホバいひたまふと言ふといへどもヱホバはかれらを遣さざるなり然るに彼らその言の成らんことを望む
They have seen falsehood and lying divination, who say, ‘The LORD says;’ but the LORD has not sent them. They have made men to hope that the word would be confirmed.
7 汝らは空しき異象を見虛妄の占卜を宣べ吾が言ふことあらざるにヱホバいひ給ふと言ふにあらずや
Have not you seen a false vision, and have not you spoken a lying divination, in that you say, ‘The LORD says;’ but I have not spoken?”
8 是故に主ヱホバかくいひたまふ汝等空虛き事を言ひ虛僞の物を見るによりて我なんぢらを罰せん主ヱホバこれをいふ
“‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Because you have spoken falsehood and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you,” says the Lord GOD.
9 我手はかの虛浮き事を見虛僞の事を卜ひいふところの預言者等に加はるべし彼等はわが民の會にをらずなりイスラエルの家の籍にしるされずイスラエルの地にいることをえざるべし汝等すなはち吾のヱホバなるをしるにいたらん
“My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and who utter lying divinations. They will not be in the council of my people, neither will they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither will they enter into the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.”
10 かれらは吾民を惑し平安あらざるに平安といふ又わが民の屏を築くにあたりて彼等灰砂をもて之を圬る
“‘Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, “Peace;” and there is no peace. When one builds up a wall, behold, they plaster it with whitewash.
11 是故にその灰砂を圬る者に是は圮るべしと言へ大雨くだらん雹よ降れ大風よ吹べし
Tell those who plaster it with whitewash that it will fall. There will be an overflowing shower; and you, great hailstones, will fall. A stormy wind will tear it.
12 視よ屏は圮る然ば人々汝等が用ひて圬たる灰砂は何處にあるやと汝等に言ざらんや
Behold, when the wall has fallen, will not it be said to you, “Where is the plaster with which you have plastered it?”
13 即ち主ヱホバかく言たまふ我憤恨をもて大風を吹せ忿怒をもて大雨を注がせ憤恨をもて雹を降せてこれを毀つべし
“‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “I will even tear it with a stormy wind in my wrath. There will be an overflowing shower in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to consume it.
14 我なんぢらが灰砂をもて圬たる屏を毀ちてこれを地に倒しその基礎を露にすべし是すなはち圮れん汝等はその中にほろびて吾のヱホバなるを知にいたらん
So I will break down the wall that you have plastered with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation will be uncovered. It will fall, and you will be consumed in the middle of it. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
15 斯われその屏とこれを灰砂にてぬれる者とにむかひてわが憤恨を洩しつくして汝等にいふべし屏はあらずなり又灰砂にてこれを圬る者もあらずなれりと
Thus I will accomplish my wrath on the wall, and on those who have plastered it with whitewash. I will tell you, ‘The wall is no more, nor those who plastered it—
16 是すなはちイスラエルの預言者等なり彼等はヱルサレムにむかひて預言をなし其處に平安のあらざるに平安の默示を見たりといへり主ヱホバこれをいふ
to wit, the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace,’” says the Lord GOD.’”
17 人の子よ汝の民の女等の其心のままに預言する者に汝の面をむけ之にむかひて預言し
You, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy against them,
18 言べし主ヱホバかくいひたまふ吾手の節々の上に小枕を縫つけ諸の大さの頭に帽子を造り蒙せて靈魂を獵んとする者は禍なるかな汝等はわが民の靈魂を獵て己の靈魂を生しめんとするなり
and say, “The Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the women who sew magic bands on all elbows and make veils for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls! Will you hunt the souls of my people and save souls alive for yourselves?
19 汝等小許の麥のため小許のパンのために吾民の前にて我を汚しかの僞言を聽いるる吾民に僞言を陳て死べからざる者を死しめ生べからざる者を生しむ
You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to kill the souls who should not die and to save the souls alive who should not live, by your lying to my people who listen to lies.’
20 是故に主ヱホバかくいひたまふ我汝等が用ひて靈魂を獵ところの小枕を奪ひ靈魂を飛さらしめん我なんぢらの臀より小枕を裂とりて汝らが獵ところの靈魂を釋ち其靈魂を飛さらしむべし
“Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I am against your magic bands, with which you hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms. I will let the souls fly free, even the souls whom you ensnare like birds.
21 我なんぢらの帽子を裂き吾民を汝らの手より救ひいださん彼等はふたたび汝等の手に陷りて獵れざるべし汝らは吾ヱホバなるを知にいたらん
I will also tear your veils and deliver my people out of your hand; and they will no longer be in your hand to be ensnared. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
22 汝等虛僞をもて義者の心を憂へしむ我はこれを憂へしめざるなり又汝等惡者の手を強くし之をしてその惡き道を離れかへりて生命を保つことをなさしめず
Because with lies you have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, and be saved alive.
23 是故に汝等は重ねて虛浮き物を見ることを得ず占卜をなすことを得ざるに至るべし我わが民を汝らの手より救ひいださん汝等すなはちわがヱホバなるを知にいたるべし
Therefore you shall no more see false visions nor practice divination. I will deliver my people out of your hand. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
