< エゼキエル書 16 >
Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
'Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
3 言ふべし主ヱホバ、ヱルサレムに斯いひたまふ汝の起本汝の誕生はカナンの地なり汝の父はアモリ人汝の母はヘテ人なり
and say: Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem: Thine origin and thy nativity is of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was thy father, and thy mother was a Hittite.
4 汝の誕生を言んに汝の生れし日に汝の臍帶を斷ことなく又水にて汝を洗ひ潔むることなく鹽をもて汝を擦ることなく又布に裹むことなかりき
And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water for cleansing; thou was not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
5 一人も汝を憐み見憫をもて是等の事の一をも汝になせし者なし汝の生れたる日に人汝の生命を忌て汝を野原に棄たり
No eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field in the loathsomeness of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.
6 我汝のかたはらを通りし時汝が血の中にをりて踐るるを見汝が血の中にある時汝に生よと言り即ち我なんぢが血の中にある時に汝に生よといへり
And when I passed by thee, and saw thee wallowing in thy blood, I said unto thee: In thy blood, live; yea, I said unto thee: In thy blood, live;
7 我野の百卉のごとくに汝を増して千萬となせり汝は生長て大きくなり美しき姿となるにいたり乳は堅くなり髮は長たりしが衣なくして裸なりき
I cause thee to increase, even as the growth of the field. And thou didst increase and grow up, and thou camest to excellent beauty: thy breasts were fashioned, and thy hair was grown; yet thou wast naked and bare.
8 茲に我汝の傍を通りて汝を見に今は汝の時汝の愛せらるべき時なりければ我衣服の裾をもて汝を覆ひ汝の恥るところを蔽し而して汝に誓ひ汝に契約をたてたり汝すなはち吾所屬となれり主ヱホバこれを言ふ
Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, and, behold, thy time was the time of love, I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness; yea, I swore unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest Mine.
9 斯て我水をもてなんぢを洗ひ汝の血を滌ぎおとして膏を汝にぬり
Then washed I thee with water; yea, I cleansed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
10 文繡あるものを着せ皮の鞋を穿たしめ細布を蒙らせ絹をもて汝の身を罩めり
I clothed thee also with richly woven work, and shod thee with sealskin, and I wound fine linen about thy head, and covered thee with silk.
11 而して飾物をもて汝をかざり腕環をなんぢの手にはめ金索を汝の項にかけしめ
I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
12 鼻には鼻環 耳には耳環 首には華美なる冠冕をほどこせり
And I put a ring upon thy nose, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head.
13 汝すなはち金銀をもて身を飾り細布と絹および文繡をその衣服となし麥粉と蜜と油とを食へり汝は甚だ美しくして遂に榮えて王の權勢に進みいたる
Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and richly woven work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil; and thou didst wax exceeding beautiful, and thou wast meet for royal estate.
14 汝の美貌のために汝の名は國々にひろまれり是わが汝にほどこせしわれの飾物によりて汝の美麗極りたればなり主ヱホバこれを言ふ
And thy renown went forth among the nations for thy beauty; for it was perfect, through My splendour which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.
15 然るに汝その美麗を恃み汝の名によりて姦淫をおこなひ凡て其傍を過る者と縱恣に姦淫をなしたり是その人の所屬となる
But thou didst trust in thy beauty and play the harlot because of thy renown, and didst pour out thy harlotries on every one that passed by; his it was.
16 汝おのれの衣服をとりて崇邱を彩り作りその上に姦淫をおこなへり是爲べからず有べからざる事なり
And thou didst take of thy garments, and didst make for thee high places decked with divers colours, and didst play the harlot upon them; the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.
17 汝はわが汝にあたへし金銀の飾の品を取り男の像を造りて之と姦淫をおこなひ
Thou didst also take thy fair jewels of My gold and of My silver, which I had given thee, and madest for thee images of men, and didst play the harlot with them;
18 汝の繡衣を取りて之に纒ひ吾の膏と香をその前に陳へ
and thou didst take thy richly woven garments and cover them, and didst set Mine oil and Mine incense before them.
19 亦わが汝にあたへし我の食物我が用ひて汝をやしなふところの麥粉油および蜜を其前に陳へて馨しき香氣となせり是事ありしと主ヱホバいひ給ふ
My bread also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou didst even set it before them for a sweet savour, and thus it was; saith the Lord GOD.
20 汝またおのれの我に生たる男子女子をとりてこれをその像にそなへて食はしむ汝が姦淫なほ小き事なるや
Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto Me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Were thy harlotries a small matter,
21 汝わが子等を殺し亦火の中を通らしめてこれに献ぐ
that thou hast slain My children, and delivered them up, in setting them apart unto them?
22 汝その諸の憎むべき事とその姦淫とをおこなふに當りて汝が若かりし日に衣なくして裸なりしことおよび汝が血のうちにをりて蹈れしことを想はざるなり
And in all thine abominations and thy harlotries thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast wallowing in thy blood.
23 主ヱホバまた言たまふ汝は禍なるかな禍なるかな
And it came to pass after all thy wickedness — woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord GOD —
24 汝その諸の惡をおこなひし後街衢街衢に樓をしつらひ臺を造り
that thou hast built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee a lofty place in every street.
25 また路の辻々に臺をつくりて汝の美麗を汚辱むることを爲し凡て傍を過るところの者に足をひらきて大に姦淫をおこなふ
Thou hast built thy lofty place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty an abomination, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy harlotries.
26 汝かの肉の大なる汝の隣人エジプトの人々と姦淫をおこなひ大に姦淫をなして我を怒らせたれば
Thou hast also played the harlot with the Egyptians, thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast multiplied thy harlotry, to provoke Me.
27 我手を汝の上にのべて汝のたまはる分を減し彼の汝を惡み汝の淫なる行爲を羞るところのペリシテ人の女等の心に汝をまかせたり
Behold, therefore I have stretched out My hand over thee, and have diminished thine allowance, and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, that are ashamed of thy lewd way.
28 然るに汝は厭ことなければ亦アツスリヤの人々と姦淫をおこなひしが之と姦淫をおこなひたるも尚厭ことなかりき
Thou hast played the harlot also with the Assyrians, without having enough; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet thou wast not satisfied.
29 汝また大に姦淫をおこなひてカナンの國カルデヤに迄およびしが是にても尚厭ことなし
Thou hast moreover multiplied thy harlotry with the land of traffic, even with Chaldea; and yet thou didst not have enough herewith.
30 主ヱホバいひたまふ汝の心如何に戀煩ふにや汝この諸の事を爲り是氣隨なる遊女の行爲なり
How weak is thy heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of a wanton harlot;
31 汝道の辻々に樓をしつらひ衢々に臺を造りしが金錢を輕んじたれば娼妓のごとくならざりき
in that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thy lofty place in every street; and hast not been as a harlot that enhanceth her hire.
Thou wife that committest adultery, that takest strangers instead of thy husband —
33 人は凡て娼妓に物を贈るなるに汝はその諸の戀人に物をおくり且汝と姦淫せんとて四方より汝に來る者に報金を與ふ
to all harlots gifts are given; but thou hast given thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hast bribed them to come unto thee from every side in thy harlotries.
34 汝は姦淫をおこなふに當りて他の婦と反す即ち人汝を戀求むるにあらざるなり汝金錢を人にあたへて人金錢を汝にあたへざるは是その相反するところなり
And the contrary is in thee from other women, in that thou didst solicit to harlotry, and wast not solicited; and in that thou givest hire, and no hire is given unto thee, thus thou art contrary.
Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD!
36 主ヱホバかく言たまふ汝金銀を撒散し且汝の戀人と姦淫して汝の恥處を露したるに由り又汝の憎むべき諸の偶像と汝が之にささげたる汝の子等の血の故により
Thus saith the Lord GOD: Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness uncovered through thy harlotries with thy lovers; and because of all the idols of thy abominations, and for the blood of thy children, that thou didst give unto them;
37 視よ我汝が交れる諸の戀人および凡て汝が戀たる者並に凡て汝が惡みたる者を集め四方よりかれらを汝の所に集め汝の恥處を彼らに現さん彼ら汝の恥處を悉く見るべし
therefore behold, I will gather all thy lovers, unto whom thou hast been pleasant, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them against thee from every side, and will uncover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
38 我姦淫を爲せる婦および血をながせる婦を鞫くがごとくに汝を鞫き汝をして忿怒と嫉妬の血とならしむべし
And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring upon thee the blood of fury and jealousy.
39 我汝を彼等の手に付せば彼等汝の樓を毀ち汝の臺を倒しなんぢの衣服を褫取り汝の美しき飾を奪ひ汝をして衣服なからしめ裸にならしむべし
I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and break down thy lofty places; and they shall strip thee of thy clothes, and take thy fair jewels; and they shall leave thee naked and bare.
40 彼等群衆をひきゐて汝の所にのぼり石をもて汝を撃ち劍をもて汝を切さき
They shall also bring up an assembly against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords.
41 火をもて汝の家を焚き多くの婦女の目の前にて汝を鞫かん斯われ汝をして姦淫を止しむべし汝は亦ふたたび金錢をあたふることなからん
And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women; and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou shalt also give no hire any more.
42 我ここに於て汝に對するわが怒を息め汝にかかはるわが嫉妬を去り心をやすんじて復怒らざらん
So will I satisfy My fury upon thee, and My jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
43 主ヱホバいひたまふ汝その若かりし日の事を記憶えずしてこの諸の事をもて我を怒らせたれば視よ我も汝の行ふところを汝の首に報ゆべし汝その諸の憎むべき事の上に此惡事をなしたるにあらざるなり
Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast fretted Me in all these things; lo, therefore I also will bring thy way upon thy head, saith the Lord GOD; or hast thou not committed this lewdness above all thine abominations?
44 視よ諺語をもちふる者みな汝を指てこの諺を用ひ言ん母のごとくに女も然りと
Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying: As the mother, so her daughter.
45 汝の母はその夫と子女を棄たり汝はその女なり汝の姉妹はその夫と子女を棄たり汝はその姉妹なり汝の母はヘテ人汝の父はアモリ人なり
Thou art thy mother's daughter, that loatheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children; your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
46 汝の姉はサマリヤなり彼その女子等とともに汝の左に住む汝の妹はソドムなり彼その女子等とともに汝の右に住む
And thine elder sister is Samaria, that dwelleth at thy left hand, she and her daughters; and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
47 汝は只少しく彼らの道に歩み彼らの憎むべきところの事等を行ひしのみにあらず汝の爲る事は皆かれらのよりも惡かりき
Yet hast thou not walked in their ways, nor done after their abominations; but in a very little while thou didst deal more corruptly than they in all thy ways.
48 主ヱホバ言たまふ我は活く汝の妹ソドムと其女子らが爲しところは汝とその女子らが爲しところの如くはあらざりき
As I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.
49 汝の妹ソドムの罪は是なり彼は傲り食物に飽きその女子らとともに安泰にをり而して難める者と貧しき者を助けざりき
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom: pride, fulness of bread, and careless ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50 かれらは傲りわが前に憎むべき事をなしたれば我見てかれらを掃ひ除けり
And they were haughty, and committed abomination before Me; therefore I removed them when I saw it.
51 サマリヤは汝の罪の半分ほども罪を犯さざりき汝は憎むべき事等を彼らよりも多く行ひ増し汝の爲たる諸の憎むべき事のために汝の姉妹等をして義きが如くならしめたり
Neither hath Samaria committed even half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters by all thine abominations which thou hast done.
52 然ば汝が曾てその姉妹等の蒙るべき者と定めたるところの恥辱を汝もまた蒙れよ汝が彼等よりも多くの憎むべき事をなしたるその罪の爲に彼等は汝よりも義くなれり然ば汝も辱を受け恥を蒙れ是は汝その姉妹等を義き者となしたればなり
Thou also, bear thine own shame, in that thou hast given judgment for thy sisters; through thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous than thou; yea, be thou also confounded, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.
53 我ソドムとその女等の俘囚をかへしサマリヤとその女等の俘囚をかへさん時に其と同じ擄はれたる汝の俘囚人を歸し
And I will turn their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them;
54 汝をして恥を蒙らしめ汝が凡て爲たるところの事を羞しむべし汝かく彼らの慰とならん
that thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be ashamed because of all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them.
55 汝の姉妹ソドムとその女子等は舊の樣に歸りサマリヤとその女子等は舊の樣に歸らん又汝と汝の女子等も舊の樣にかへるべし
And thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, and thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.
56 汝はその驕傲れる日には汝の姉妹ソドムの事を口に述ざりき
For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride;
57 汝の惡の露れし時まで即ちスリアの女子等と凡て汝の周圍の者ペリシテ人の女等が四方より汝を嬲りて辱しめし時まで汝は是のごとくなりき
before thy wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the taunt of the daughters of Aram, and of all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, that have thee in disdain round about.
58 ヱホバいひたまふ汝の淫なる行爲と汝のもろもろの憎むべき事とは汝みづからこれを身に負ふなり
Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith the LORD.
59 主ヱホバかく言たまふ誓言を輕んじて契約をやぶりたるところの汝には我汝の爲るところにしたがひて爲べし
For thus saith the Lord GOD: I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, who hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
60 我汝の若かりし日に汝になせし契約を記憶え汝と限りなき契約をたてん
Nevertheless I will remember My covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.
61 汝その姉妹の汝より大なる者と小き者とを得る時にはおのれの行爲をおぼえて羞ん彼等は汝の契約に屬する者にあらざれども我かれらを汝にあたへて女となさしむべし
Then shalt thou remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder sisters and thy younger; and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not because of thy covenant.
62 我汝と契約をたてん汝すなはち吾のヱホバなるを知にいたらん
And I will establish My covenant with thee, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD;
63 我なんぢの凡て行ひしところの事を赦す時には汝憶えて羞ぢその恥辱のために再び口を開くことなかるべし主ヱホバこれを言ふ
that thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more, because of thy shame; when I have forgiven thee all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.'
