エゼキエル書 21

1 ヱホバの言われにのぞみて言ふ

The word of ye Lord came to me againe, 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

Sonne of man, set thy face toward Ierusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophecie 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 the Lord, Beholde, I come against thee, and will drawe my sword out of his sheath, and cut off from thee both 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 then that I will cut off from thee both the righteous and wicked, therefore shall my sworde goe out of his 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

That all flesh may knowe that I the Lord haue drawen my sworde out of his sheath, and it shall not returne 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

Mourne therefore, thou sonne of man, as in the paine of thy reines, and mourne bitterly before them.

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 if they say vnto thee, Wherefore mournest thou? then answere, Because of the bruite: for it commeth, and euery heart shall melt, and all handes shall be weake, and all mindes shall faint, and all knees shall fall away as water: beholde, it commeth, and shall be done, saith the Lord God.

8 ヱホバの言我にのぞみて言ふ

Againe, the word of the Lord came vnto 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

Sonne of man, prophecie, and say, Thus saith the Lord God, say, A sworde, a sworde both sharpe, and fourbished.

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 to make a sore slaughter, and it is fourbished that it may glitter: how shall we reioyce? for it contemneth the rod of my sonne, as all other trees.

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 giuen it to be fourbished, that he may handle it: this sword is sharpe, and is fourbished, that he may giue it into ye 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 houle, sonne of man: for this shall come to my people, and it shall come vnto all the princes of Israel: the terrours of the sword shall be vpon my people: smite therefore vpon thy 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 it is a triall, and what shall this be, if the sworde contemne euen the rodde? It shall be no more, saith the Lord God.

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

Thou therefore, sonne of man, prophecie, and smite hand to hand, and let the sworde be doubled: let the sworde that hath killed, returne the third time: it is the sword of the great slaughter entring into their priuie chambers.

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

I haue brought the feare of the sword into all their gates to make their heart to faint, and to multiplie their ruines. Ah it is made bright, and it is dressed 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

Get thee alone: goe to the right hande, or get thy selfe to the left hande, whithersoeuer thy face turneth.

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

I wil also smite mine hands together, and wil cause my wrath to cease. I the Lord haue said it.

18 ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ

The worde of the Lord came vnto mee againe, 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

Also thou sonne of man, appoint thee two wayes, that the sworde of the King of Babel may come: both twaine shall come out of one lande, and chuse a place, and chuse it in the corner of the way of the citie.

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, that the sworde may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Iudah in Ierusalem the strong citie.

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

And the King of Babel stoode at the parting of the way, at the head of the two wayes, consulting by diuination, and made his arrowes bright: hee consulted with idoles, and looked in the liuer.

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

At his right hand was the diuination for Ierusalem to appoint captaines, to open their mouth in the slaughter, and to lift vp their voyce with shouting, to laye engines of warre against the gates, to cast a mount, and to builde a fortresse.

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 it shalbe vnto them as a false diuination in their sight for the othes made vnto them: but hee will call to remembrance their iniquitie, to the intent they should 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 sayeth the Lord God, Because ye haue made your iniquitie to bee remembred, in discouering your rebellion, that in al your workes your sinnes might appeare: because, I say, that 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 prince of Israel polluted, and wicked, whose day is come, when iniquitie shall haue an ende,

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 God, I will take away the diademe, and take off the crowne: this shalbe no more the same: I wil exalt the humble, and will abase him that is hie.

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 wil ouerturne, ouerturne, ouerturne it, and it shall be no more vntill he come, whose right it is, and I will giue it 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, sonne of man, prophecie, and say, Thus saith the Lord God to the children of Ammon, and to their blasphemie: say thou, I say, The sword, the sword is drawen foorth, and fourbished to the slaughter, to consume, because of the glittering:

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

Whiles they see vanitie vnto thee, and prophecied a lie vnto thee to bring thee vpon the neckes of the wicked that are slaine, whose day is come when their iniquitie shall haue an ende.

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

Shall I cause it to returne into his sheath? I will iudge thee in the place where thou wast created, euen in the land of thine habitation.

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 wil powre out mine indignation vpon thee, and will blowe against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliuer thee into the hand of beastly men, and skilfull 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 bee in the fire to be deuoured: thy blood shall be in the middes of the lande, and thou shalt be no more remembred: for I the Lord haue spoken it.
