エゼキエル書 24
1 九年の十月十日にヱホバの言我にのぞみて言ふ
Moreover, the word of Jehovah came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, and said:
2 人の子よ汝此日すなはち今日の名を書せバビロンの王今日ヱルサレムを攻をるなり
Son of man, write the name of the day, even of this same day. The king of Babylon draweth near to Jerusalem this same day.
3 汝背ける家に譬喩をかたりて之に言へ主ヱホバかく言たまふ釜を居ゑ居ゑてこれに水を斟いれ
Utter a parable to the rebellious house, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Set on a caldron, set it on, and also pour water into it.
4 其肉の凡て佳き所を集めて股と肩とを之に入れ佳き骨をこれに充し
Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
5 羊の選擇者を取れ亦薪一束を取り下に入れて骨を煮釜を善く煮たて亦その中の骨を煮よ
Take the choice of the flock, and make under it a pile for the bones, and make it boil well, that the bones therein may be seethed.
6 是故に主ヱホバかく言ふ禍なるかな血の流るる邑銹のつきたる釜 その銹これを離れざるなり肉を一箇一箇に取いだせ之がために籤を掣べからず
Wherefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the city of blood, to the caldron in which is rust, and whose rust goeth not out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.
7 彼の血はその中にあり彼乾ける磐の上にこれを置りこれを土にそそぎて塵に覆はれしめず
For blood is in the midst of her; upon the bare rock hath she shed it; she poured it not upon the ground, that it might be covered with dust.
8 我怒を來らせ仇を復さんがためにその血を乾ける磐の上に置て塵に覆はれざらしめたり
To cause fury and to take vengeance, I have set the blood shed by her upon the bare rock, that it might not be covered.
9 是故に主ヱホバかく言ふ禍なるかな血の流るる邑我またその薪の束を大にすべし
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the city of blood! Now will I make the pile for fire great.
10 薪を積かさね火を燃し肉を善く煮てこれを煮つくしその骨をも燒しむべし
Heap on wood, kindle the fire, cook the flesh, put in spices, and let the bones be burned.
11 而して釜を空にして炭火の上に置きその銅をして熱くなりて燒しめ其汚穢をして中に鎔しめその銹を去しむべし
Then set it empty upon the coals, that its brass may be hot and may burn, and that its impurity may be dissolved in it, and its rust be consumed.
12 旣に手を盡したれどもその大なる銹さらざればその銹を火に投棄べし
It hath wearied me with labors, yet its thick rust goeth not from it; its rust remaineth in the midst of the fire.
13 汝の汚穢の中に淫行あり我汝を淨めんとしたれども汝淨まらざりしに因てわが怒を汝に洩しつくすまでは汝その汚穢をはなれて淨まることあらじ
In thy filthiness is gross wickedness, because, when I would have cleansed thee, thou wouldst not be cleansed. Thou shalt not be cleansed from thy filthiness any more, till I have quieted my fury toward thee.
14 我ヱホバこれを言り是至る我これを爲べし止ず惜まず悔ざるなり汝の道にしたがひ汝の行爲にしたがひて彼ら汝を鞫かん主ヱホバこれを言ふ
I, Jehovah, have spoken it; it shall come to pass, and I will do it. I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent. According to thy ways and according to thy doings shall they judge thee, saith the Lord Jehovah.
15 ヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ
Also the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
16 人の子よ我頓死をもて汝の目の喜ぶ者を取去ん汝哀かず泣ず涙をながすべからず
Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with one blow; yet thou shalt not mourn, nor weep, nor shall thy tears run down.
17 聲をたてずして哀け死人のために哀哭をなすなかれ冠物を戴き足に鞋を穿べし鬚を掩ふなかれ人のおくれる食物を食ふべからず
Sigh thou in silence, make no mourning for the dead; bind thy head-dress upon thee, and thy shoes on thy feet; cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of wretched men.
18 朝に我人々に語りしが夕にわが妻死ねり明朝におよびて我命ぜられしごとくなせり
So I spake to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
19 茲に人々我に言けるは此汝がなすところの事は何の意なるや我らに告ざるや
And the people said to me, Wilt thou not tell us what those things which thou doest denote to us?
20 我かれらに言けるはヱホバの言我にのぞみて言ふ
Then I answered them: The word of Jehovah came to me and said:
21 イスラエルの家にいふべし主ヱホバかく言ふ視よ我汝らの勢力の榮汝らの目の喜愛汝らの心の望なるわが聖所を汚さん汝らが遺すところの子女等は劍に仆れん
Say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your confidence, the desire of your eyes, and the longing of your souls; and your sons and daughters that are left to you shall fall by the sword.
22 汝らもわが爲るごとくなし鬚を覆はず人のおくれる食物を食はず
And ye shall do as I have done; ye shall not cover your mouths, nor eat the bread of wretched men;
23 首に冠物を戴き足に履を穿き哀かず泣ずその罪の中に痩衰へて互に呻かん
and your head-dresses shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet; ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and moan one to another.
24 斯エゼキエル汝らに兆とならん彼がなしたるごとく汝ら爲ん是事の至らん時に汝ら我の主ヱホバなるを知べし
Thus Ezekiel shall be to you a sign; according to all that he hath done shall ye do, when this cometh; and ye shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.
25 人の子よわが彼らの力かれらの樂むところの榮その目の喜愛その心の望その子女を取去る日
And thou, son of man, behold, in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and the longing of their souls, their sons and their daughters, in that day shall one
26 その日に逃亡者汝の許に來り汝の耳に告ることあらん
that is escaped come to thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears.
27 その日に汝逃亡者にむかひて口を啓き語りて再び默せざらん斯汝かれらに兆となるべし彼らは遂に我のヱホバなるを知ん
In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him that is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb; and thou shalt be a sign to them, and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
