< エゼキエル書 2 >
1 彼われに言たまひけるは人の子よ起あがれ我なんぢに語はんと
And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak with thee.
2 斯われに言給ひし時靈われにきたりて我を立あがらしむ爰に我その我に語りたまふを聞くに
And the Spirit entered into me when he spoke unto me, and set me upon my feet; and I heard him that spoke unto me.
3 われに言たまひけるは人の子よ我なんぢをイスラエルの子孫に遣すすなはち我に叛ける叛逆の民につかはさん彼等とその先祖我に悖りて今日にいたる
And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to nations that are rebellious, which have rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me unto this very day;
4 その子女等は厚顏にして心の剛愎なる者なり我汝をかれらに遣す汝かれらに主ヱホバかくいふと告べし
and these children are impudent and hard-hearted: I am sending thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah.
5 彼等は悖逆る族なり彼等は之を聽も之を拒むも預言者の己等の中にありしを知ん
And they, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear — for they are a rebellious house — yet shall they know that there hath been a prophet among them.
6 汝人の子よたとひ薊と棘汝の周圍にあるとも亦汝蠍の中に住ともこれを懼るるなかれその言をおそるるなかれ夫かれらは悖逆る族なり汝その言をおそるるなかれ其面に慄くなかれ
And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, and be not afraid of their words; for briars and thorns are with thee, and thou dwellest among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, and be not dismayed at their faces; for they are a rebellious house.
7 彼等は悖逆る族なり彼らこれを聽もこれを拒むも汝吾言をかれらに告よ
And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear; for they are rebellious.
8 人の子よわが汝に言ところを聽け汝かの悖逆る族のごとく悖るなかれ汝の口を開きてわが汝にあたふる者をくらふべし
And thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.
And I looked, and behold, a hand was put forth toward me; and behold, a roll of a book therein.
10 彼これをわが前に開けり卷物は裏と表に文字ありて上に嗟嘆と悲哀と憂患とを錄す
And he spread it out before me; and it was written within and without; and there were written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
