エゼキエル書 18
1 ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ
And the word of Yahweh came unto 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 occasion have ye, to be using this proverb, concerning the soil of Israel, saying, —Fathers eat sour grapes, And the children’s 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, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, Surely ye shall have occasion no longer to use this proverb, 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
Lo! as for all persons, mine they are, As the person of the father, so also the person of the son, mine they are, —The person that sinneth, the same shall die.
5 若人正義して公道と公義を行ひ
But when, any man, shall be righteous, and do justice 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
Upon the mountains, hath not eaten, And his eyes, hath not lifted up unto the manufactured gods of the house of Israel, And the wife of his neighbour, hath not defiled, And unto a woman during her removal, hath not approached;
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
And no man, hath treated with violence, But his debt-pledge, hath restored. Plunder, hath not seized, — His bread—to the famished, hath given, And the naked, hath covered with clothing;
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
Upon interest, hath not put out his money. And increase, hath not accepted, From dishonesty, hath turned back his hand, — Justice in truth, hath done, 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
In my statutes, hath walked. And my regulations, hath observed to do them in truth, Righteous, he is, He shall surely live, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh.
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
But he hath begotten a son Who is a violent man A shedder of blood, - Who doeth the like of any of these things;
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
Whereas he, none of those other things, doeth, For indeed upon the mountains, he hath eaten, And the wife of his neighbour, hath defiled;
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
The oppressed and the needy, hath treated with violence, Hath ruthlessly plundered, The pledge, hath not restored, But unto the manufactured gods, hath lifted up his eyes, Abomination, hath wrought;
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
Upon interest, hath put out. And increase, hath accepted—, And shall he live? He shall not live All these abominations, he hath done, He shall surely be put to death, His blood, upon himself, shall be.
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
But lo! he hath begotten a son, Who hath considered all the sins of his father which he hath done, - Yea he hath considered and not done 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
Upon the mountains, hath not eaten, And his eyes, hath not lifted up unto the manufactured gods of the house of Israel, The wife of his neighbour, hath not defiled;
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
And no man, hath he treated with violence, Hath by no means withholden the pledge, And plunder, hath not seized, — His bread—to the famished, hath given And the naked, hath covered with clothing;
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
From dishonesty, hath turned back his hand Neither interest nor increase, hath accepted, my regulations, hath executed, In my statutes, hath walked, — He shall not die for the iniquity of his father He shall surely live.
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 exacted unjust gain Seized plunder of a brother, And that which was not good, had done in the midst of his people Therefore lo! he died, 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
Will ye then say. Why hath not the son borne a part of the iniquity of the father? But the son hath done justice and righteousness, All my statutes, hath observed and done them He shall surely live.
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 person that sinneth, the same, shall die, — A, son, shall not bear a part of the iniquity of, the father Neither shall, a father, bear a part of the iniquity of the son, the righteousness of the righteous, upon himself, shall be. And, the lawlessness of a lawless man, upon himself, shall be.
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
But as for the lawless man— When he shall turn back from all his sins which he hath committed, And observe all my statutes, And do justice and righteousness He shall surely live. He shall 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
None of his transgressions which he hath committed shall be remembered against him, —In his righteousness which he hath done, he shall live.
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
Could I take delight, in the death of the lawless? Demandeth My Lord. Yahweh. Must it not be in his turning from his ways in which case he shall live?
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
But, when a righteous man, shall turn away, from his righteousness and do that which is perverse, Shall do, according to all the abominations which the lawless man hath done, Shall he live? None of his righteous acts which he hath done, shall be remembered, In his treachery wherein he hath been treacherous, And in his sin wherein he hath sinned, In them, shall he die.
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
Can ye then say— The way of My Lord will not be equal? Hear I pray you O house of Israel, Will my way, not be equal? Will not your ways be unequal?
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
When a righteous man shall turn away from his righteousness and do that which is perverse and die because of those things In his own perversity which he hath done, shall he die.
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
But when a lawless man turneth away from his lawlessness which he hath done, And hath done justice and righteousness He, shall save his own soul, alive:
28 彼もし視てその行ひし諸の咎を離れなば必ず生ん死ざるべし
When he considered, then he turned away from all his transgressions which he had committed, He shall surely live. He shall not die.
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
Can the house of Israel then say- The way of My Lord will not be equal? Will my ways, not be equal O house of Israel? Will not your ways be unequal?
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, Every man according to his own ways, will I judge you O house of Israel, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Return ye—and make good your return—from all your transgressions, That they become not unto you a stumbling block of iniquity.
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 off from you all your transgressions which ye have committed against me, And make you a new heart; And a new spirit, - For why should ye 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 cannot take delight in the death of him that dieth, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Make good your return then and, live!
