エゼキエル書 29

1 十年の十月の十二日にヱホバの言我にのぞみて言ふ

In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the eleventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

2 人の子よ汝の面をエジプトの王パロにむけ彼とエジプト全國にむかひて預言し

“Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and you shall prophesy about him and about all of Egypt.

3 語りて言べし主ヱホバかく言たまふエジプトの王パロよ視よ我汝の敵となる汝その河に臥すところの鱷よ汝いふ河は我の所有なり我自己のためにこれを造れりと

Speak, and you shall say: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, you great dragon, who rests in the midst of your rivers. And you say: ‘Mine is the river, and I have made myself.’

4 我鉤を汝の腮に鉤け汝の河の魚をして汝の鱗に附しめ汝および汝の鱗に附る諸の魚を汝の河より曳いだし

But I will place a bridle in your jaws. And I will adhere the fish of your rivers to your scales. And I will draw you out of the midst of your rivers, and all your fish will adhere to your scales.

5 汝と汝の河の諸の魚を曠野に投すてん汝は野の面に仆れん汝を取あぐる者なく集むる者なかるべし我汝を地の獸と天の鳥の餌に與へん

And I will cast you into the desert, with all the fish of your river. You will fall upon the surface of the earth; you will not be taken up, nor gathered together. I have given you to the beasts of the earth and to the birds of the air, to be devoured.

6 エジプトの人々皆我のヱホバなるを知ん彼等のイスラエルの家におけるは葦の杖のごとくなりき

And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord. For you have been a staff made of reed to the house of Israel.

7 イスラエル汝の手を執ば汝折れてその肩を盡く裂き又汝に倚ば汝破れてその腰を盡く振へしむ

When they took hold of you with the hand, you broke, and so you wounded all of their shoulders. And when they leaned on you, you shattered, and so you injured all of their lower backs.

8 是故に主ヱホバかく言ふ視よ我劍を汝に持きたり人と畜を汝の中より絕ん

Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will lead the sword over you, and I will destroy both man and beast from among you.

9 エジプトの地は荒て空曠なるべし彼らすなはち我のヱホバなるを知ん彼河は我の有なり我これを作れりと言ふ

And the land of Egypt will be a desert and a wilderness. And they shall know that I am the Lord. For you have said, ‘The river is mine, and I have made it.’

10 是故に我汝と汝の河々を罰しエジプトの地をミグドルよりスエネに至りエテオピアの境に至るまで盡く荒して空曠くせん

Therefore, behold, I am against you and against your rivers. And I will make the land of Egypt into a wilderness, destroyed by the sword from the tower of Syene all the way to the borders of Ethiopia.

11 人の足此を渉らず獸の足此を渉らじ四十年の間此に人の住ことなかるべし

The foot of man will not pass through it, and the foot of cattle will not walk in it. And it will be uninhabited for forty years.

12 我エジプトの地を荒して荒たる國々の中にあらしめんその邑々は荒て四十年の間荒たる邑々の中にあるべし我エジプト人を諸の民の中に散し諸の國に散さん

And I will set the land of Egypt in desolation, in the midst of desolate lands, and its cities in the midst of overturned cites. And they will be desolate for forty years. And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and I will disperse them among the lands.

13 但し主ヱホバかく言たまふ四十年の後我エジプト人をその散されたる諸の民の中より集めん

For thus says the Lord God: After the end of forty years, I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they had been scattered.

14 即ちエジプトの俘囚人を歸しその生れし國なるバテロスの地にかへらしむべし彼らは其處に卑き國を成ん

And I will lead back the captivity of Egypt, and I will collect them in the land of Pathros, in the land of their nativity. And in that place, they will be a lowly kingdom.

15 是は諸の國よりも卑くして再び國々の上にいづることなかるべし我かれらを小くすれば彼らは重て國々を治むることなし

It will be the lowest among the other kingdoms, and it will no longer be exalted above the nations. And I will diminish them, lest they rule over the Gentiles.

16 彼らは再びイスラエルの家の恃とならじイスラエルはこれに心をよせてその罪をおもひ出さしむることなかるべし彼らすなはち我の主ヱホバなるを知ん

And they will no longer be the confidence of the house of Israel, teaching iniquity, so that they may flee and follow them. And they shall know that I am the Lord God.”

17 茲に二十七年の一月の一日にヱホバの言我にのぞみて言ふ

And it happened that, in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

18 人の子よバビロンの王ネブカデネザルその軍勢をしてツロにむかひて大に働かしむ皆首禿げ皆肩破る然るに彼もその軍勢もその爲るところの事業のためにツロよりその報を得ず

“Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has caused his army to serve with great servility against Tyre. Every head was shaven, and every shoulder was stripped of hair. And wages have not been paid to him, nor to his army, for Tyre, for the service by which he served for me against it.

19 是故に主ヱホバかくいふ視よ我バビロンの王ネブカデネザルにエジプトの地を與へん彼その衆多の財寳を取り物を掠め物を奪はん是その軍勢の報たらん

Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will station Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, in the land of Egypt. And he will take its multitude, and he will prey upon its profits, and he will plunder its spoils. And this shall be the wages for his army

20 彼の勞動る値として我エジプトの地をかれに與ふ彼わがために之をなしたればなり主ヱホバこれを言ふ

and for the work by which he has served against it. I have given to him the land of Egypt, because he has labored for me, says the Lord God.

21 當日に我イスラエルの家に一の角を生ぜしめ汝をして彼らの中に口を啓くことを得せしめん彼等すなはち我がヱホバなるを知べし

In that day, a horn will spring forth for the house of Israel, and I will give to you an open mouth in their midst. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
