エゼキエル書 21
1 ヱホバの言われにのぞみて言ふ
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
2 人の子よ汝の面をヱルサレムに向け聖き處々にむかひて言を垂れイスラエルの地にむかひて預言し
Son of man, set thy face against Jerusalem, and drop [words] against the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,
3 イスラエルの地に言ふべしヱホバかく言ふ視よ我汝を責め吾刀を鞘より拔はなし義者と惡者とを汝の中より絕ん
and say to the land of Israel, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, and I will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.
4 我義者と惡者とを汝の中より絕んとすればわが刀鞘より脱出て南より北までの凡て肉ある者を責ん
Seeing that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh, from the south to the north;
5 肉ある者みな我ヱホバのその刀を鞘より拔はなちしを知らん是は歸りをさまらざるべし
and all flesh shall know that I Jehovah have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath: it shall not return any more.
6 人の子よ腰の碎くるまでに歎き彼らの目のまへにて痛く歎け
Sigh then, thou son of man; with breaking of the loins, and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.
7 人汝に何て歎くやと言ば汝言べし來るところの風聞のためなり心みな鎔け手みな痿え魂みな弱り膝みな水とならん視よ事いたれりかならず成ん主ヱホバこれを言ふ
And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore dost thou sigh? that thou shalt say, Because of the tidings, for it cometh; and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall languish, and all knees shall melt into water: behold, it cometh; it is here, saith the Lord Jehovah.
8 ヱホバの言我にのぞみて言ふ
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
9 人の子よ預言して言ふべしヱホバかく言ふ劍あり研ぎ且磨きたる劍あり
Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith Jehovah: Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished.
10 是は大に殺す事をなさんがために研てあり光り閃かんがために磨きてあり我子の杖は萬の樹を藐視ずとて我等喜ぶべけんや
It is sharpened for sore slaughter, it is furbished that it may glitter. Shall we then make mirth, [saying, ] The sceptre of my son contemneth all wood?
11 是を手に執んために與へて磨かしむ是劍は殺す者の手に付さんために之を研かつ磨かしむるなり
And he hath given it to be furbished that it may be handled. The sword, — it is sharpened, and it is furbished to give it into the hand of the slayer.
12 人の子よ叫び哭け其は是わが民の上に臨みイスラエルの諸の牧伯等の上に臨めばなり彼らはわが民とともに劍に仆る故に汝腿を撃べし
Cry and howl, son of man; for it shall be against my people, it shall be against all the princes of Israel: they are given up to the sword along with my people: smite therefore upon the thigh.
13 その試すでに成る若かの藐視ずるところの杖きたらずば如何ぞや主ヱホバこれを言ふ
For the trial [is made]; and what if even the contemning sceptre shall be no [more]? saith the Lord Jehovah.
14 人の子よ汝預言し手を拍べし劍人を刺透すところの劍三倍に働かん是は人を刺透し大なる者を殺すところの劍にして彼らを責る者なり
And thou, son of man, prophesy, and smite thy hands together; for [the strokes of] the sword shall be doubled the third time: it is the sword of the slain, the sword that hath slain the great one, which encompasseth them privily.
15 彼らの心を鎔し礙く物を増んがために我拔身の劍をその諸の門に立つ嗚呼是は光ひらめき脱いでて人を殺さんとす
In order that the heart may melt, and the stumbling-blocks be multiplied, I have set the threatening sword against all their gates: ah! it is made glittering, it is whetted for the slaughter.
16 汝合して右に向へ進んで左に向へ汝の刃の向ふところに隨ヘ
Gather up [strength], go to the right hand, turn thee, go to the left, whithersoever thy face is appointed.
17 我また吾手を拍ちわが怒を靜めん我ヱホバこれを言ふなり
And I myself will smite my hands together, and I will satisfy my fury: I Jehovah have spoken [it].
18 ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
19 人の子よバビロンの王の劍の由て來るべき二の途を設けよ其二の途を一の國より出しめて道標の記號を畵き邑の途の首處にこれを畵くべし
And thou, son of man, set thee two ways, by which the sword of the king of Babylon may come — out of one land shall they both come — and make thee a signpost, make it at the head of the way to the city.
20 汝またアンモンの子孫のラバとユダの堅き城の邑ヱルサレムとに劍のきたるべき途を設けよ
Appoint a way for the coming of the sword to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah at the fenced [city] of Jerusalem.
21 バビロンの王その道の首處その途の岐處に止りて占卜をなし箭を搖りテラピムに問ひ肝を察べをるなり
For the king of Babylon standeth at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he shaketh [his] arrows, he inquireth of the teraphim, he looketh in the liver.
22 彼の右にヱルサレムといふ占卜いづ云く破城槌を備へ口をひらきて喊き殺し聲をあげて吶喊を作り門にむかひて破城槌を備へ壘をきづき雲梯を建べしと
In his right hand is the lot of Jerusalem to appoint battering-rams, to open the mouth for bloodshed, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering-rams against the gates, to cast mounds, to build siege-towers.
23 是はかれらの目には虛僞の占考と見ゆ聖き誓言かれらに在ばなり然れども彼罪を憶ひおこさしむ即ちかれらは取るべし
And this shall be a false divination in their sight, for them that have sworn oaths; but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken.
24 是故に主ヱホバかく言ふ汝ら旣にその罪を憶おこさしめて汝らの愆著明になりたれば汝らの罪その諸の行爲に顯る汝ら旣に憶いださるれば必ず手に執へらるべし
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye make your iniquity to be remembered in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear; because ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
25 汝刺透さるる者罪人イスラエルの君主よ汝の罪その終を來らしめて汝の罰せらるる日至る
And thou, profane, wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, at the time of the iniquity of the end,
26 主ヱホバかく言ふ冕旒を去り冠冕を除り離せ是は是ならざるべし卑き者は高くせられ高き者は卑くせられん
— thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Remove the mitre and take off the crown; what is shall be no [more]. Exalt that which is low, and abase that which is high.
27 我顚覆をなし顚覆をなし顚覆を爲ん權威を持べき者の來る時まで是は有ことなし彼に我之を與ふ
I will overturn, overturn, overturn it! This also shall be no [more], until he come whose right it is; and I will give it [to him].
28 人の子よ汝預言して言べし主ヱホバ、アンモンの子孫とその嘲笑につきて斯言ふと即ち汝言べし劍あり劍あり是殺すことのために拔てあり滅すことのために磨きありて光ひらめくなり
And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus speaketh the Lord Jehovah concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and thou shalt say, A sword, a sword is drawn; for the slaughter is it furbished, that it may consume, that it may glitter:
29 人なんぢに虛淨を預言し汝に假僞の占考を示して汝をその殺さるる惡人の頸の上に置んとす彼らの罪その終を來らしめて彼らの罰せらるる日いたる
whilst they see vanity for thee, whilst they divine a lie unto thee, to lay thee upon the necks of the wicked that are slain, whose day is come at the time of the iniquity of the end.
30 これをその鞘にかへし納めよ汝の造られし處なんぢの生れし地にて我汝を鞫き
Restore [it] to its sheath. I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy birth.
31 わが怒を汝に斟ぎ吾憤恨の火を汝にむかひて燃し狂暴人滅すことに巧なる者の手に汝を付すべし
And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will blow upon thee the fire of my wrath, and give thee into the hand of brutish men, skilful to destroy.
32 汝は火の薪となり汝の血は國の中にあらん汝は重ねて憶えらるることなかるべし我ヱホバこれを言ばなり
Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt not be remembered: for I Jehovah have spoken.
