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 the LORD came to 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 your face toward Jerusalem, and drop your word toward 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 says the LORD; Behold, I am against you, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from you 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 you the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth 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 know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of his 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 therefore, you son of man, with the breaking of your 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 to you, Why sigh you? that you shall answer, For the tidings; because it comes: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it comes, and shall be brought to pass, says the Lord GOD.
8 ヱホバの言我にのぞみて言ふ
Again the word of the LORD came to 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 says the LORD; 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 to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it scorns the rod of my son, as every tree.
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 has given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword 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 on my people, it shall be on all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be on my people: smite therefore on your 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
Because it is a trial, and what if the sword scorn even the rod? it shall be no more, says 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
You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite your hands together, and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which enters into their privy 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 have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright, it is wrapped up 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
Go you one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left, wherever your face is set.
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 will also smite my hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said it.
18 ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ
The word of the LORD came to me again, 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, you son of man, appoint you two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both two shall come forth out of one land: and choose you a place, choose 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, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defended.
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 stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked 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
At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering rams against the gates, to cast a mount, and to build a fort.
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 shall be to them as a false divination in their sight, to 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 says the Lord GOD; Because you have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, I say, that you are come to remembrance, you 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 you, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an 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 says the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that 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: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give 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 you, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord GOD concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say you, The sword, the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, 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 vanity to you, whiles they divine a lie to you, to bring you on the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an 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
Shall I cause it to return into his sheath? I will judge you in the place where you were created, in the land of your nativity.
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 my indignation on you, I will blow against you in the fire of my wrath, and deliver you into the hand of brutish men, and skillful 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
You shall be for fuel to the fire; your blood shall be in the middle of the land; you shall be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it.
