エゼキエル書 23

1 ヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 人の子よ爰に二人の婦女あり一人の母の女子なり

Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother:

3 彼等エジプトにおいて淫を行ひその少き時に淫を行へり即ち彼處において人かれらの乳を拈り彼處においてその處女の乳房に觸る

and they went a-whoring in Egypt in their youth: there their breasts fell, there they lost their virginity.

4 その名は姊はアホラ妹はアホリバと云ふ彼ら我に歸して男子女子を生り彼らの本名はアホラはサマリヤと言ひアホリバはヱルサレムと云ふなり

And their names were Oola the elder, and Ooliba her sister: and they were mine, and bore sons and daughters: and [as for] their names, Samaria was Oola, and Jerusalem was Ooliba.

5 アホラは我有たる間に淫を行ひてその戀人等に焦れたり是すなはちその隣なるアツスリヤ人にして

And Oola went a-whoring from me, and doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians that were her neighbours,

6 紫の衣を着る者牧伯たる者督宰たる者なり是等は皆美麗き秀でたる人馬に乗る者なり

clothed with purple, princes and captains; [they were] young men and choice, all horseman riding on horses.

7 彼凡てアツスリヤの秀でたる者と淫を行ひ且その焦れたる諸の者すなはちその諸の偶像をもてその身を汚せり

And she bestowed her fornication upon them; all were choice sons of the Assyrians: and on whoever she doted herself, with them she defiled herself in all [their] devices.

8 彼またエジプトよりの淫行を捨ざりき即ち彼の少き時に彼ら彼と寢ねその處女の乳房にさはりその淫慾を彼の身の上に洩せり

And she forsook not her fornication with the Egyptians: for in her youth they committed fornication with her, and they deflowered her, and poured out their fornication upon her.

9 是故に我彼をその戀人の手に付しその焦れたるアツスリヤの子孫の手に付せり

Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the children of the Assyrians, on whom she doted.

10 是に於て彼等かれの陰所を露しその子女を奪ひ劍をもて彼を殺して婦人の中にその名を聞えしめその身の上に鞫を行へり

They uncovered her shame: they took her sons and daughters, and killed her with the sword: and she became a byword amongst women: and they wrought vengeance in her for the sake of the daughters.

11 彼の妹アホリバこれを見彼よりも甚だしくその慾を縱恣にしその姊の淫行よりもましたる淫行をなし

And her sister Ooliba saw [it], and she indulged in her fondness more corruptly than she, and in her fornication more than the fornication of her sister.

12 その隣なるアツスリヤの人々に戀焦れたり彼らはすなはち牧伯たる者 督宰たる者 華美に粧ひたる者 馬に騎る者にして皆美しき秀でたる者なり

She doted upon the sons of the Assyrian, princes and captains, her neighbours, clothed with fine linen, horsemen riding on horses; [they were] all choice young men.

13 我かれがその身を汚せしを見たり彼らは共に一の途をあゆめり

And I saw that they were defiled, [that] the two [had] one way.

14 彼その淫行を増り彼壁に彫つけたる人々を見たり是すなはち朱をもて壁に彫つけたるカルデヤ人の像にして

And she increased her fornication, and she saw men painted on the wall, likenesses of the Chaldeans painted with a pencil,

15 腰には帶を結び首には垂さがれる帓巾を戴けり是等は皆君王たる者の形ありてその生れたる國なるカルデヤのバビロン人に似たり

having variegated girdles on their loins, having also richly dyed [attire] upon their heads; all had a princely appearance, the likeness of the children of the Chaldeans, of their native land.

16 彼その目に是等を見てこれに戀焦れ使者をカルデヤにおくりて之にいたらしむ

And she doted upon them as soon as she saw them, and sent forth messengers to them into the land of the Chaldeans.

17 是に於てバビロンの人々彼の許にきたりて戀の床に就きその淫行をもて彼を汚したりしが彼らにその身を汚さるるにおよびて彼その心にかれらを疎んず

And the sons of Babylon came to her, into the bed of rest, and they defiled her in her fornication, and she was defiled by them, and her soul was alienated from them.

18 彼その淫行を露しその陰所を顯したれば我心彼を疎んず吾心かれの姊を疎んじたるがごとし

And she exposed her fornication, and exposed her shame: and my soul was alienated from her, even as my soul was alienated from her sister.

19 彼その淫行を増しその少き日にエジプトに於て淫をおこなひし事を憶え

And you did multiply your fornication, so as to call to remembrance the days of your youth, wherein you did commit whoredom in Egypt,

20 彼らの戀人に焦るその人の肉は驢馬の肉のごとく其精は馬の精のごとし

and you did dote upon the Chaldeans, whose flesh is as the flesh of the asses, and their members [as] the members of horses.

21 汝は己の少き時にエジプト人が汝の處女の乳房のために汝の乳にさはりたる時の淫行を顧みるなり

And you did look upon the iniquity of your youth, [the things] which you wrought in Egypt in your lodgings, where were the breasts of your youth.

22 この故に主ヱホバかく言ふアホリバよ我汝が心に疎んずるに至りしところの戀人等を激して汝を攻しめ彼らをして四方より汝に攻きたらしむべし

Therefore, Ooliba, thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] stir up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them upon you round about,

23 即ちバビロンの人々およびカルデヤの諸の人々ペコデ、シヨワ、コア並にアツスリヤの諸の人々美しき秀でたる人々牧伯等および督宰等 大君および名高き人 凡て馬に騎る者

the children of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, Phacuc, and Sue, and Hychue, and all the sons of the Assyrians with them; choice young men, governors and captains, all princes and renowned, riding on horses.

24 鋒車および輪を持ち衆多の民をひきゐて汝に攻め來り大楯小楯および兜をそなへて四方より汝に攻かからん我裁判をかれらに委ぬべし彼らすなはち其律法によりて汝を鞫かん

And they all shall come upon you from the north, chariots and wheels, with a multitude of nations, shields and targets; and [the enemy] shall set a watch against you round about: and I will set judgement before them, and they shall take vengeance on you with their judgements.

25 我汝にむかひてわが嫉妬を發すれば彼ら怒をもて汝を待ひ汝の鼻と耳を切とるべし汝のうちの存れる者は劍に仆れん彼ら汝の子女を奪ふべし汝の中の殘れる者は火に燒ん

And I will bring upon you my jealousy, and they shall deal with you in great wrath: they shall take away your nose and your ears; and shall cast down your remnant with the sword: they shall take your sons and your daughters; and your remnant fire shall devour.

26 彼ら汝の衣を剝脱り汝の美しき妝飾を取べし

And they shall strip you of your raiment, and take [away] your ornaments.

27 我汝の淫行を除き汝がエジプトの地より行ひ來れるところの邪淫を除き汝をして重て彼らに目をつけざらしめ再びエジプトの事を憶はざらしめん

So I will turn back your ungodliness from you, and your fornication from the land of Egypt: and you shall not lift up your eyes upon them, and shall no more remember Egypt.

28 主ヱホバかく言ふ視よ我汝が惡む者の手汝が心に疎ずる者の手に汝を付せば

Therefore thus says the Lord God; Behold, I [will] deliver you into the hands of those whom you hate, from whom your soul is alienated.

29 彼ら怨憎をもて汝を待ひ汝の得たる物を盡く取り汝を赤裸に成おくべし是をもて汝が淫をおこなヘる陰所露にならん汝の淫行と邪淫もしかり

And they shall deal with you in hatred, and shall take all [the fruits] of your labours and your toils, and you shall be naked and bare: and the shame of your fornication shall be exposed: and your ungodliness and your fornication

30 汝異邦人を慕ひて淫をおこなひ彼らの偶像をもて身を汚したるに由て是等の事汝におよぶなり

brought this upon you, in that you went a-whoring after the nations, and did defile yourself with their devices.

31 汝その姊の途に歩みたれば我かれの杯を汝の手に交す

You did walk in the way of your sister; and I will put her cup into your hands.

32 主ヱホバかく言ふ汝その姊の深き大なる杯を飮べし是は笑と嘲を充す者なり

Thus says the Lord; Drink your sister's cup, deep and large, and full, to cause complete drunkenness.

33 醉と憂汝に滿ちん汝の姊サマリヤの杯は駭異と滅亡の杯なり

And you shall be thoroughly weakened; and the cup of destruction, the cup of your sister Samaria,

34 汝これを飮み乾しこれを吸つくしその碎片を咬み汝の乳房を摘去ん我これを言ふと主ヱホバ言ふ

drink you it, and I will take away her feasts and her new moons: for I have spoken [it], says the Lord.

35 然ば主ヱホバかく言ふ汝我を忘れ我を後に棄たれば汝またその淫行と邪淫の罪を負べし

Therefore thus says the Lord; Because you has forgotten me, and cast me behind your back, therefore receive you [the reward] of your ungodliness and your fornication.

36 斯てヱホバ我にいひたまふ人の子よ汝アホラとアホリバを鞫かんとするや然らば彼らにその憎むべき事等を示せ

And the Lord said to me, Son of man, will you not judge Oola and Ooliba? and declare to them their iniquities?

37 夫彼らは姦淫をおこなへり又血その手にあり彼らその偶像と姦淫をおこなひ又その我に生たる男子等に火の中をとほらしめてこれを燒り

For they have committed adultery, and blood was in their hands, they committed adultery with their devices, and they passed through the fire to them their children which they bore to me.

38 加之また是をなせり即ち彼ら同日にわが聖處を汚しわが安息日を犯せり

So long too as they did these things to me, they defiled my sanctuary, and profaned my sabbaths.

39 彼らその偶像のために男子等を宰りしその日にわが聖處に來りてこれを汚し斯わが家の中に事をなせり

And when they sacrificed their children to their idols, they also went into my sanctuary to profane it: and whereas they did thus in the midst of my house;

40 且又彼らは使者をやりて遠方より人を招きて至らしむ其人々のために汝身を洗ひ目を畵き妝飾を着け

and whereas they did thus to the men that came from afar, to whom they sent messengers, and as soon as they came, immediately you did wash yourself, and did paint your eyes and adorn yourself with ornaments,

41 華美なる床に坐し臺盤をその前に備へその上にわが香とわが膏を置り

and sat on a prepared bed, and before it [there was] a table set out, and [as for] mine incense and mine oil, they rejoiced in them,

42 斯て群衆の喧噪その中に靜りしがその多衆の人々の上にまた曠野よりサバ人を招き寄たり彼らは手に腕環をはめ首に美しき冠を戴けり

and they raised a sound of music, and [that] with men coming from the wilderness out of a multitude of men, and they put bracelets on their hands, and a crown of glory on their heads;

43 我かの姦淫のために衰弱たる女の事を云り今は早彼の姦淫その姦淫をなしをはらんかと

Therefore I said, Do they not commit adultery with these? and has she also gone a-whoring [after] the manner of a harlot?

44 彼らは遊女の所にいるごとくに彼の所に入たり斯かれらすなはち淫婦アホラとアホリバの所に入ぬ

And they went in to her, as [men] go in to a harlot; so they went in to Oola and to Ooliba to work iniquity.

45 義人等姦婦の律法に照し故殺の律法に照して彼らを鞫かん彼らは姦婦にしてまたその手に血あればなり

And they are just men, and shall take vengeance on them with the judgement of an adulteress and the judgement of blood: for they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.

46 主ヱホバかく言ふ我群衆を彼等に攻きたらしめ彼らを是に付して虐と掠にあはしめん

Thus says the Lord God, Bring up a multitude upon them, and send trouble and plunder into the midst of them.

47 群衆かれらを石にて撃ち劍をもて斬りその子女を殺し火をもてその家を燒べし

And stone them with the stones of a multitude, and pierce them with their swords: they shall kill their sons and their daughters, and shall burn up their houses.

48 斯我この地に邪淫を絕さん婦女みな自ら警めて汝らのごとくに邪淫をおこなはざるべし

And I will remove ungodliness out of the land, and all the women shall be instructed, and shall not do according to their ungodliness.

49 彼ら汝らの邪淫の罪を汝らに報いん汝らはその偶像の罪を負ひ而して我の主ヱホバなるを知にいたるべし

And your ungodliness shall be recompensed upon you, and you shall bear the guilt of your devices: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
