エゼキエル書 33

1 爰にヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ

Again, the woorde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,

2 人の子よ汝の民の人々に告て之に言へ我劍を一の國に臨ましめん時その國の民おのれの國人の中より一人を選みて之を守望人となさんに

Sonne of man, speake to the children of thy people, and say vnto them, When I bring the sworde vpon a lande, if the people of the lande take a man from among them, and make him their watchman,

3 かれ國に劍の臨むを見ラッパを吹てその民を警むることあらん

If when hee seeth the sworde come vpon ye land, he blow the trumpet, and warne the people,

4 然るに人ラッパの音を聞て自ら警めず劍つひに臨みて其人を失ふにいたらばその血はその人の首に歸すべし

Then hee that heareth the sounde of the trumpet, and will not bee warned, if the sworde come, and take him away, his blood shall be vpon his owne head.

5 彼ラッパの音を聞て自ら警むることを爲ざればその血は己に歸すべし然どもし自ら警むることを爲ばその生命を保つことを得ん

For he heard the sound of the trumpet, and woulde not bee admonished: therefore his blood shall be vpon him: but he that receiueth warning, shall saue his life.

6 然れども守望者劍の臨むを見てラッパを吹ず民警戒をうけざるあらんに劍のぞみて其中の一人を失はば其人は己の罪に死るなれど我その血を守望者の手に討問めん

But if the watchman see the sworde come, and blowe not the trumpet, and the people be not warned: if the sworde come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away for his iniquitie, but his blood will I require at the watchmans hande.

7 然ば人の子よ我汝を立てイスラエルの家の守望者となす汝わが口より言を聞き我にかはりて彼等を警むべし

So thou, O sonne of man, I haue made thee a watchman vnto the house of Israel: therefore thou shalt heare the woorde at my mouth, and admonish them from me.

8 我惡人に向ひて惡人よ汝死ざるべからずと言んに汝その惡人を警めてその途を離るるやうに語らずば惡人はその罪に死んなれどその血をば我汝の手に討問むべし

When I shall say vnto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt die the death, if thou doest not speake, and admonish the wicked of his way, that wicked man shall die for his iniquitie, but his blood will I require at thine hand.

9 然ど汝もし惡人を警めて翻りてその途を離れしめんとしたるに彼その途を離れずば彼はその罪に死ん而して汝はおのれの生命を保つことを得ん

Neuerthelesse, If thou warne the wicked of his way, to turne from it, if he doe not turne from his way, he shall die for his iniquitie, but thou hast deliuered thy soule.

10 然ば人の子よイスラエルの家に言へ汝らは斯語りて言ふ我らの愆と罪は我らの身の上にあり我儕はその中にありて消失ん爭でか生ることを得んと

Therefore, O thou sonne of man, speake vnto the house of Israel, Thus yee speake and say, If our transgressions and our sinnes bee vpon vs, and we are consumed because of them, howe should we then liue?

11 汝かれらに言べし主ヱホバ言たまふ我は活く我惡人の死るを悦ばず惡人のその途を離れて生るを悦ぶなり汝ら翻へり翻へりてその惡き道を離れよイスラエルの家よ汝等なんぞ死べけんや

Say vnto them, As I liue, sayeth the Lord God, I desire not the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turne from his way and liue: turne you, turne you from your euill waies, for why will ye die, O ye house of Israel?

12 人の子よ汝の民の人々に言べし義人の義はその人の罪を犯せる日にはその人を救ふことあたはず惡人はその惡を離れたる日にはその惡のために仆るることあらじ義人はその罪を犯せる日にはその義のために生ることを得じ

Therefore thou sonne of man, saye vnto the children of thy people, The righteousnesse of the righteous shall not deliuer him in the day of his transgression, nor the wickednesse of the wicked shall cause him to fall therein, in the day that he returneth from his wickednesse, neither shall the righteous liue for his righteousnesse in the day that he sinneth.

13 我義人に汝かならず生べしと言んに彼その義を恃みて罪ををかさばその義は悉く忘らるべし其をかせる罪のために彼は死べし

When I shall say vnto the righteous, that he shall surely liue, if he trust to his owne righteousnes, and commit iniquitie, all his righteousnes shall be no more remembred, but for his iniquitie that he hath committed, he shall die for the same.

14 我惡人に汝かならず死べしと言んに彼その惡を離れ公道と公義を行ふことあらん

Againe when I shall say vnto the wicked, thou shalt die the death, if he turne from his sinne, and doe that which is lawfull and right,

15 即ち惡人質物を歸しその奪ひし者を還し惡をなさずして生命の憲法にあゆみなば必ず生ん死ざるべし

To wit, if the wicked restore the pledge, and giue againe that he had robbed, and walke in the statutes of life, without committing iniquitie, he shall surely liue, and not die.

16 その犯したる各種の罪は記憶らるることなかるべし彼すでに公道と公義を行ひたれば必ず生べし

None of his sinnes that he hath comitted, shall be mentioned vnto him: because he hath done that, which is lawful, and right, he shall surely liue.

17 汝の民の人々は主の道正しからずと言ふ然ど實は彼等の道の正しからざるなり

Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equall: but their owne way is vnequall.

18 義人もしその義を離れて罪ををかさば是がために死べし

When the righteous turneth from his righteousnesse, and committeth iniquitie, he shall euen die thereby.

19 惡人もしその惡を離れて公道と公義を行ひなば是がために生べし

But if the wicked returne from his wickednesse, and doe that which is lawfull and right, hee shall liue thereby.

20 然るに汝らは主の道正しからずといふイスラエルの家よ我各人の行爲にしたがひて汝等を鞫くべし

Yet yee say, The way of the Lord is not equall. O ye house of Israel, I will iudge you euery one after his waies.

21 我らが擄へうつされし後すなはち十二年の十月の五日にヱルサレムより脱逃者きたりて邑は撃敗られたりと言ふ

Also in the twelfth yere of our captiuitie, in the tenth moneth, and in the fift day of the moneth, one that had escaped out of Ierusalem, came vnto me, and said, The citie is smitten.

22 その逃亡者の來る前の夜ヱホバの手我に臨み彼が朝におよびて我に來るまでに我口を開けり斯わが口開けたれば我また默せざりき

Now the hand of the Lord had bene vpon me in ye euening afore hee that had escaped, came, and had opened my mouth vntill he came to me in the morning: and when hee had opened my mouth, I was no more dumme.

23 即ちヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ

Againe the worde of the Lord came vnto me, and saide,

24 人の子よイスラエルの地の彼の墟址に住る者語りて云ふアブラハムは一人にして此地を有てり我等は衆多し此地はわれらの所有に授かると

Sonne of man, these that dwel in the desolate places of the land of Israel, talke and say, Abraham was but one, and hee possessed the lande: but we are many, therefore the lande shall be giuen vs in possession.

25 是故に汝かれらに言ふべし主ヱホバかく言ふ汝らは血のままに食ひ汝らの偶像を仰ぎ且血を流すなれば尚此地を有つべけんや

Wherefore say vnto them, Thus saieth the Lord God, Ye eate with the blood, and lift vp your eyes towarde your idoles, and sheade blood: should ye then possesse the land?

26 汝等は劍を恃み憎むべき事を行ひ各々人の妻を汚すなれば此地を有つべけんや

Ye leane vpon your swordes: ye worke abomination, and yee defile euery one his neighbours wife: should ye then possesse the land?

27 汝かれらに斯言べし主ヱホバかく言ふ我は活くかの荒場に居る者は劍に仆れん野の表にをる者をば我獸にあたへて噬はしめん要害と洞穴とにをる者は疫病に死ん

Say thus vnto them, Thus saieth the Lord God, As I liue, so surely they that are in the desolate places, shall fall by the sword: and him that is in the open field, will I giue vnto the beasts to be deuoured: and they that be in the forts and in the caues, shall die of the pestilence.

28 我この國を全く荒さん其誇るところの權勢は終に至らんイスラエルの山々は荒て通る者なかるべし

For I will lay the land desolate and waste, and the pompe of her strength shall cease: and the moutaines of Israel shalbe desolate, and none shall passe through.

29 彼らが行ひたる諸の憎むべき事のために我その國を全く荒さん時に彼ら我のヱホバなるを知ん

Then shall they know that I am the Lord, when I haue laid ye land desolate and wast, because of al their abominations, that they haue committed.

30 人の子よ汝の民の人々垣の下家の門にて汝の事を論じ互に語りあひ各々その兄弟に言ふ去來われら如何なる言のヱホバより出るかを聽んと

Also thou sonne of man, the children of thy people that talke of thee by the wals and in the dores of houses, and speake one to another, euery one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and heare what is the word that commeth from the Lord.

31 彼ら民の集會のごとくに汝に來り吾民のごとくに汝の前に坐して汝の言を聞ん然ども之を行はじ彼らは口に悦ばしきところの事をなし其心は利にしたがふなり

For they come vnto thee, as the people vseth to come: and my people sit before thee, and heare thy wordes, but they will not doe them: for with their mouthes they make iestes, and their heart goeth after their couetousnesse.

32 彼等には汝悦ばしき歌美しき聲美く奏る者のごとし彼ら汝の言を聞ん然ど之をおこなはじ

And loe, thou art vnto them, as a iesting song of one that hath a pleasant voyce, and can sing well: for they heare thy woordes, but they doe them not.

33 視よその事至る其事のいたる時には彼らおのれの中に預言者あるを知べし

And when this commeth to passe (for loe, it will come) then shall they know, that a Prophet hath bene among them.
