< エゼキエル書 13 >
And the word of the LORD came unto 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 that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own heart: Hear ye the word of the LORD:
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
Thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe unto the vile prophets, that follow their own spirit, and things which they have not seen!
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
O Israel, thy prophets have been like foxes in ruins.
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
Ye have not gone up into the breaches, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel, to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.
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 vanity and lying divination, that say: The LORD saith; and the LORD hath not sent them, yet they 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 ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say: The LORD saith; albeit 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 thus saith the Lord GOD: Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith 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
And My hand shall be against the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies; they shall not be in the council of My people, neither shall they be written in the register of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall 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 led My people astray, saying: Peace, and there is no peace; and when it buildeth up a slight wall, behold, they daub it with whited plaster;
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
say unto them that daub it with whited plaster, that it shall fall; there shall be an overflowing shower, and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall, and a stormy wind shall break forth,
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
and, lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you: Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed 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 thus saith the Lord GOD: I will even cause a stormy wind to break forth in My fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in Mine anger, and great hailstones in fury 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 will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with whited plaster, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be uncovered; and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof; and ye shall 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 will I spend My fury upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with whited plaster; and I will say unto you: The wall is no more, neither they that daubed 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 that prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and that see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith 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
And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, that prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou 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: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe to the women that sew cushions upon all elbows, and make pads for the head of persons of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye 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
And ye have profaned Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for crumbs of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to My people that hearken unto 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
Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against your cushions, wherewith ye hunt the souls as birds, and I will tear them from your arms; and I will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt as 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
Your pads also will I tear, and deliver My people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall 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 ye have cowed the heart of the righteous, when I have not grieved him; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, that he 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 ye shall no more see vanity, nor divine divinations; and I will deliver My people out of your hand; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.'
