< エゼキエル書 13 >
And the word of Jehovah 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 that prophesy, and say to them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of Jehovah!
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 Jehovah: Woe to the foolish prophets, that 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
Thy prophets, O Israel, are like the foxes in the deserts.
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, nor built a wall around the house of Israel, to stand in battle in the day of Jehovah.
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 see falsehood, and lying divination. They say, “Jehovah hath spoken,” when Jehovah hath not sent them; and they cause men to hope for the fulfilment of the word.
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 false vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, and said, “Jehovah hath spoken,” when 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 Jehovah: Because ye have spoken falsehood and have seen a lie, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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 shall be against the prophets that see falsehood and divine lies. They shall not be in the assembly 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 Jehovah.
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, yea, because they seduce my people, and say, “Peace!” when there is no peace; and one buildeth up a wall, and, behold, they daub it with untempered mortar;
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 to them which daub it with untempered mortar, that it shall fall; there shall be an overflowing shower, and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall, and a stormy wind shall rend 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
So when the wall is fallen, shall not men say to 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 Jehovah: I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury, and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my 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
Thus I will break down the wall which ye have daubed with untempered mortar, and will bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered; it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof, that ye may know that I am Jehovah.
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 accomplish my fury upon the wall, and upon them that daubed it with untempered mortar; and I will say to you, The wall is no more, nor 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
even the prophets of Israel, who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and see visions of peace for her when there is no peace, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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
Likewise, son of man, set thou thy face against the daughters of thy people, who 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 Jehovah: Woe to the women that sew cushions for all elbows, and make pillows for heads of every stature, to ensnare men to destruction! Will ye hunt the lives of my people, and shall ye save your own?
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 will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley, and for pieces of bread, slaying them that should not die, and saving them alive that should not live, by lying to my people, who hearken to your 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 thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will set myself against the cushions with which ye ensnare men to destruction, so that they shall escape you; and I will tear them from your arms, and make them free whom ye would ensnare, so that they shall escape you.
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 pillows also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall no more be in your hand to be ensnared, and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
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 made sad the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad, and have strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life;
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 shall ye no more see falsehood, nor divine divinations; but I will deliver my people out of your hand, and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
