エゼキエル書 18
1 ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
2 汝等なんぞイスラエルの地に於て此諺語を用ひ父等酸き葡萄を食ひたれば子等の齒齼くと言ふや
“What [is it] to you [that] you are using this allegory Concerning the ground of Israel, saying, Fathers eat unripe fruit, And the sons’ teeth are blunted?
3 主ヱホバいふ我は生く汝等ふたたびイスラエルに於てこの諺語をもちふることなかるべし
[As] I live,” a declaration of Lord YHWH, “You no longer have the use of this allegory in Israel.
4 夫凡の靈魂は我に屬す父の靈魂も子の靈魂も我に屬するなり罪を犯せる靈魂は死べし
Behold, all the souls are Mine, As the soul of the father, So also the soul of the son—they are Mine, The soul that is sinning—it dies.
5 若人正義して公道と公義を行ひ
And a man, when he is righteous, And has done judgment and righteousness,
6 山の上に食をなさず目をあげてイスラエルの家の偶像を仰がず人の妻を犯さず穢れたる婦女に近づかず
He has not eaten on the mountains, And has not lifted up his eyes To idols of the house of Israel, And did not defile his neighbor’s wife, And did not come near to a separated woman,
7 何人をも虐げず質物を還し物を奪はずその食物を饑る者に與へ裸なる者に衣を着せ
He does not oppress a man, He returns his pledge to the debtor, He does not take away plunder, He gives his bread to the hungry, And covers the naked with a garment,
8 利を取て貸さず息を取ず手をひきて惡を行はず眞實の判斷を人と人の間になし
He does not give in usury, and does not take increase, He turns back his hand from perversity, He does true judgment between man and man.
9 わが法憲にあゆみ又吾が律例を守りて眞實をおこなはば是義者なり彼は生べし主ヱホバこれを言ふ
He walks in My statutes, And he has kept My judgments—to deal truly, He [is] righteous—he surely lives,” A declaration of Lord YHWH.
10 然ど彼子を生んにその子暴き者にして人の血をながし是の如き事の一箇を行ひ
“And he has begotten a son, A burglar—a shedder of blood, And he has made a brother of one of these,
11 是をば凡て行はずして山の上に食をなし人の妻を犯し
And he has not done all those, For he has even eaten on the mountains, And he has defiled his neighbor’s wife,
12 惱める者と貧しき者を虐げ物を奪ひ質物を還さず目をあげて偶像を仰ぎ憎むべき事をおこなひ
He has oppressed the afflicted and needy, He has taken away plunder violently, He does not return a pledge, And he has lifted up his eyes to the idols, He has done abomination!
13 利をとりて貸し息を取ば彼は生べきや彼は生べからず彼この諸の憎むべき事をなしたれば必ず死べしその血はかれに歸せん
He has given in usury, and taken increase, And he lives? He does not live, He has done all these abominations, He surely dies, his blood is on him.
14 又子生れんに其子父のなせる諸の罪を視しかども視て斯有ことを行はず
And—behold, he has begotten a son, And he sees all the sins of his father, That he has done, and he fears, And does not do like them,
15 山の上に食をなさず目をあげてイスラエルの家の偶像を仰がず人の妻を犯さず
He has not eaten on the mountains, And he has not lifted up his eyes To idols of the house of Israel, He has not defiled his neighbor’s wife,
16 何人をも虐げず質物を存留めず物を奪はず饑る者にその食物を與へ裸なる者に衣を着せ
He has not oppressed a man, He has not bound a pledge, And he has not taken away plunder, He has given his bread to the hungry, And he covered the naked with a garment,
17 その手をひきて惱める者を苦めず利と息を取ずわが律法を行ひわが法度に歩まば彼はその父の惡のために死ことあらじ必ず生べし
He has turned back his hand from the afflicted, He has not taken usury and increase, He has done My judgments, He has walked in My statutes, He does not die for the iniquity of his father, He surely lives.
18 その父は甚だしく人を掠めその兄弟を痛く虐げその民の中に善らぬ事をなしたるに由てその惡のために死べし
His father—because he used oppression, Violently plundered a brother, And did that which [is] not good in the midst of his people, And behold, he is dying in his iniquity.
19 しかるに汝等は子なんぞ父の惡を負ざるやと言ふ夫子は律法と公義を行ひわが凡ての法度を守りてこれを行ひたれば必ず生べし
And you have said, Why has the son not borne of the iniquity of the father? And the son has done judgment and righteousness, He has kept all My statutes, And he does them, he surely lives.
20 罪を犯せる靈魂は死べし子は父の惡を負ず父は子の惡を負ざるなり義人の義はその人に歸し惡人の惡はその人に歸すべし
The soul that sins—it dies. A son does not bear of the iniquity of the father, And a father does not bear of the iniquity of the son, The righteousness of the righteous is on him, And the wickedness of the wicked is on him.
21 然ど惡人もしその凡て行ひしところの惡を離れわが諸の法度を守り律法と公義を行ひなばかならず生ん死ざるべし
And the wicked—when he turns back From all his sins that he has done, And he has kept all My statutes, And has done judgment and righteousness, He surely lives, he does not die.
22 その爲しところの咎は皆記念られざるべしその爲し義き事のために彼は生べし
All his transgressions that he has done Are not remembered to him, In his righteousness that he has done he lives.
23 主ヱホバ言たまふ我爭で惡人の死を好まんや寧彼がその道を離れて生んことを好まざらんや
Do I take pleasure [or] delight in the death of the wicked?” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “Is it not in his turning back from his way—And he has lived?
24 若義人その義をはなれて惡を行ひ惡人の爲る諸の憎むべき事をなさば生べきや其なせし義き事は皆記念られざるべし彼はその爲る咎とその犯せる罪とのために死べし
And in the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he has done perversity, According to all the abominations That the wicked has done, Does he then live? All his righteous deeds that he has done are not remembered, For his trespass that he has trespassed, And for his sin that he has sinned, For them he dies.
25 然るに汝等主の道は正しからずと言ふ然ばイスラエルの家よ聽け吾道正しからざるやその正しからざる者は汝らの道にあらずや
And you have said, The way of the Lord is not pondered. Now hear, O house of Israel, My way—is it not pondered? Are not your ways unpondered?
26 若義人その義をはなれて惡を爲し其がために死ることあらば是その爲る惡のために死るなり
In the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he has done perversity, And he is dying by them, He dies for his perversity that he has done.
27 若惡人その爲る惡をはなれて律法と公義を行はばその靈魂を生しむることをえん

29 然るにイスラエルの家は主の道は正しからずといふイスラエルの家よわが道正しからざるやその正しからざる者は汝らの道にあらずや
And the house of Israel has said, The way of the Lord is not pondered, My ways—are they not pondered? O house of Israel—are not your ways unpondered?
30 主ヱホバいひ給ふ是故に我汝らをば各その道にしたがひて審くべし汝らその諸の咎を悔改めよ然らば惡汝らを躓かせて滅ぼすことなかるべし
Therefore, I judge each according to his ways, O house of Israel,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “Turn back, indeed, turn yourselves back, From all your transgressions, And iniquity is not for a stumbling-block to you,
31 汝等その行ひし諸の罪を棄去り新しき心と新しき靈魂を起すべしイスラエルの家よ汝らなんぞ死べけんや
Cast away all your transgressions from over you, By which you have transgressed, And make a new heart and a new spirit for yourselves, And why do you die, O house of Israel?
32 我は死者の死を好まざるなり然ば汝ら悔て生よ主ヱホバこれを言ふ
For I have no pleasure in the death of the dying,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “Therefore turn back and live!”
