< 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
He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”
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
The Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke to 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
He said to me, “Son of man, I send you to the children of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me even to 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
The children are impudent and stiff-hearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’
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
They, whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse—for they are a rebellious house—yet they will know that there has 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
You, son of man, don’t be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you dwell among scorpions. Don’t be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though 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
You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will refuse; for they are most 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
But you, son of man, hear what I tell you. Don’t be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth, and eat that which I give you.”
When I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.
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
He spread it before me. It was written within and without; and lamentations, mourning, and woe were written in it.
