< エゼキエル書 13 >
And the word of Yahweh 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, who are prophesying, —and say unto them who prophesy out of their own heart, Hear ye the word of Yahweh,
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 My Lord, Yahweh, Alas for the base 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
As jackals, among ruins, thy prophets O Israel have been.
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 about the house of Israel, - to stand in the battle in the day of Yahweh.
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 had Visions of falsehood, and Divinations of lies, Who say. Declareth Yahweh, when, Yahweh, hath not sent them, — Yet have they waited for a fulfilling 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
Is it not a Vision of falsehood, ye have seen, and a Divination of lies, ye have spoken, Since ye are saying. Declareth Yahweh! 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 My Lord Yahweh, Because ye have spoken falsehood, And have had visions of lies, Therefore behold me! against you, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
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
So then my hand shall be against the prophets who have Visions of falsehood and who divine Divinations of lies— In the council of my people, shall they not be found. And in the register of the house of Israel, shall they not be written, And Upon the so of Israel, shall they not enter, — So shall ye know that, I, am The Lord Yahweh,
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, even because, they have led astray my people saying. Prosperity! when there was no prosperity, —and one man, was building a partition wall, when there they were! eating 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
Say thou unto them who are coating with whitewash It shall fall, - There hath come an overflowing rain And I will make hail-stones fall, And a tempestuous wind shall break it down.
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
Lo! when the wall hath fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the coating, wherewith ye coated 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 my Lord, Yahweh, So will I break down with a tempestuous wind. in mine indignation, — And an overflowing rain in mine anger, shall there be, With hailstones in wrath to make an end;
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
And I will pull down the wall which ye have coated with whitewash And will bring it unto the ground So shall be discovered its foundation, Yea it shall fall And ye shall come to an end in the midst thereof, So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.
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 bring to an end mine indignation against the wall, and against them who were coating it with whitewash, And will say to you No more is the wall, And no more are they who were coating 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 are prophesying unto Jerusalem, and are seeing, on her behalf, visions of prosperity, — when there is no prosperity, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
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, Those who are prophesying 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 My Lord Yahweh, Alas! for the women Who sew oracle, cases on all elbows And prepare wraps upon the head of every stature to hunt souls, — the souls ye hunt, are those of my people, Whereas your own souls: , ye keep alive.
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
Thus have ye profaned me unto my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, Putting to death the souls that should not die, and Keeping alive the souls that should not live, — By your lying to my people, who hearken 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, Thus saith my Lord Yahweh, Behold me! against your oracle-cases wherewith ye are hunting the souls to make them fly, And I will tear them off your arms, And let go the souls of them whose souls ye are hunting 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
And will tear off your wraps, And deliver my people out of your hand, And they shall be no longer in your hand to be hunted; - So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.
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 of the paining of the heart of the righteous man with falsehood, whom, I, have not pained, — And strengthening the hands of the lawless man, that he should not turn from his wicked way. by letting him live
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—of falsehood: , shall ye have no vision, And a divination: , shall ye not divine any more, — So will I deliver my people out of your hand, And ye shall know that, I, am Yahweh.
