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, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of Jehovah 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 thy face against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all 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 say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, thou great dragon, that liest in the midst of thy rivers, and sayest, “My river is my own, and I have made it for 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

And I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to cleave to thy scales, and I will draw thee forth from the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers which cleave to thy 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 thee into the desert, thee and all the fish of thy rivers; thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered; to the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven I have given thee for food.

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 Jehovah; because they have been a staff 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 thee by thy handle, thou didst break and pierce their whole shoulder; and when they leaned upon thee, thou didst go to pieces, and madest all their loins to shake.

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

Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee;

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 shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, because he hath 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 thee, and against thy rivers; and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from Migdol even to Syene, and 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

There shall not pass through it the foot of man, and the foot of beast shall not pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited 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

I will make the land of Egypt desolate amidst the lands that are desolate, and her cities, among the cities that are laid waste, shall be desolate forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.

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

Yet thus saith the Lord Jehovah: At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the nations whither they are 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 bring back the captives of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their origin; and they shall be there a mean 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 shall be the meanest of all kingdoms; it shall no more exalt itself above the nations; for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.

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 it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing to my remembrance their iniquity in looking to them for help; and they shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.

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 came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, that the word of Jehovah 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, caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre; every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled; yet neither he nor his army had wages from Tyre for the service which he served 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

Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her plunder; and it shall be 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

For his wages for his service I will give him the land of Egypt; for they wrought for me, saith the Lord Jehovah.

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 will I cause a horn to grow forth to the house of Israel, and I will give thee to open the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
