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
Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
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, this same day. The king of Babylon drew close 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 tell them, ‘The Lord GOD says, “Put the cauldron on the fire. Put 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 its pieces 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 also a pile of wood for the bones under the cauldron. Make it boil well. Yes, let its bones be boiled within it.”
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
“‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Woe to the bloody city, to the cauldron whose rust is in it, and whose rust hasn’t gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece without casting lots for 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 the blood she shed is in the middle of her. She set it on the bare rock. She didn’t pour it on the ground, to cover it 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
That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have set her blood on the bare rock, that it should 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 the Lord GOD says: “Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile 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 the wood. Make the fire hot. Boil the meat well. Make the broth thick, and let the bones be burnt.
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 on its coals, that it may be hot, and its bronze may burn, and that its filthiness may be molten in it, that its rust may 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
She is weary with toil; yet her great rust, rust by fire, doesn’t leave her.
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 your filthiness is lewdness. Because I have cleansed you and you weren’t cleansed, you won’t be cleansed from your filthiness any more, until I have caused my wrath towards you to rest.
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, the LORD, have spoken it. It will happen, and I will do it. I won’t go back. I won’t spare. I won’t repent. According to your ways and according to your doings, they will judge you,” says the Lord GOD.’”
15 ヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ
Also the LORD’s word 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 will take away from you the desire of your eyes with one stroke; yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, neither shall your 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, but not aloud. Make no mourning for the dead. Bind your headdress on you, and put your sandals on your feet. Don’t cover your lips, and don’t eat mourner’s bread.”
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 spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died. So 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
The people asked me, “Won’t you tell us what these things mean to us, that you act like this?”
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 said to them, “The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
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
‘Speak to the house of Israel, “The Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left behind will 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
You will do as I have done. You won’t cover your lips or eat mourner’s bread.
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
Your turbans will be on your heads, and your sandals on your feet. You won’t mourn or weep; but you will pine away in your iniquities, and moan one towards 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 will be a sign to you; according to all that he has done, you will do. When this comes, then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’”’”
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
“You, son of man, shouldn’t it be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their heart—their sons and their daughters—
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 in that day he who escapes will come to you, to cause you to hear it with your 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 your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped, and you will speak and be no more mute. So you will be a sign to them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
