エゼキエル書 34

1 ヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ

And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

2 人の子よ汝イスラエルの牧者の事を預言せよ預言して彼ら牧者に言ふべし主ヱホバかく言ふ己を牧ふところのイスラエルの牧者は禍なるかな牧者は群を牧ふべき者ならずや

Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and say to them, even to the shepherds, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the sheep?

3 汝らは脂を食ひ毛を纏ひ肥たる物を屠りその群をば牧はざるなり

Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe yourselves with the wool. Ye kill the fatlings, but ye do not feed the sheep.

4 汝ら其弱き者を強くせずその病る者を醫さずその傷ける者を裹まず散されたる者をひきかへらず失たる者を尋ねず手荒に嚴刻く之を治む

Ye have not strengthened the diseased, nor have ye healed that which was sick, nor have ye bound up that which was broken, nor have ye brought back that which was driven away, nor have ye sought that which was lost, but ye have ruled over them with force and with rigor.

5 是は牧者なきに因て散り失せ野の諸の獸の餌となりて散失するなり

And they were scattered because there was no shepherd. And they became food to all the beasts of the field, and were scattered.

6 我羊は諸の山々に諸の高丘に迷ふ我羊全地の表に散りをれど之を索す者なく尋ぬる者なし

My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill. Yea, my sheep were scattered upon all the face of the earth, and there was none who searched or sought.

7 是故に牧者よ汝らヱホバの言を聽け

Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah:

8 主ヱホバ言たまふ我は活く我羊掠められわが羊野の諸の獸の餌となる又牧者あらず我牧者わが羊を尋ねず牧者己を牧ふてわが羊を牧はず

As I live, says the lord Jehovah, surely inasmuch as my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd, nor did my shepherds search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and did not feed my sheep,

9 是故に牧者よ汝らヱホバの言を聞け

therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah.

10 主ヱホバ斯言たまふ視よ我牧者等を罰し吾羊を彼らの手に討問め彼等をしてわが群を牧ふことを止しめて再び己を牧ふことなからしめ又わが羊をかれらの口より救とりてかれらの食とならざらしむべし

Thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep. Neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more, and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.

11 主ヱホバかく言たまふ我みづからわが群を索して之を守らん

For thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out.

12 牧者がその散たる羊の中にある日にその群を守るごとく我わが群を守り之がその雲深き暗き日に散たる諸の處よりこれを救ひとるべし

As a shepherd seeks out his flock, in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so I will seek out my sheep, and I will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.

13 我かれらを諸の民の中より導き出し諸の國より集めてその國に携へいりイスラエルの山の上と谷の中および國の凡の住居處にて彼らを養はん

And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. And I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country.

14 善き牧場にて我かれらを牧はんその休息處はイスラエルの高山にあるべし彼處にて彼らは善き休息所に臥しイスラエルの山々の上にて肥たる牧場に草を食はん

I will feed them with good pasture, and their fold shall be upon the mountains of the height of Israel. There they shall lie down in a good fold, and on fat pasture they shall feed upon the mountains of Israel.

15 主ヱホバいひたまふ我みづから我群を牧ひ之を偃しむべし

I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down, says the lord Jehovah.

16 亡たる者は我これを尋ね逐はなたれたる者はこれを引返り傷けられたる者はこれを裹み病る者はこれを強くせん然ど肥たる者と強き者は我これを滅さん我公道をもて之を牧ふべし

I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick, but I will destroy the fat and the strong. I will feed them in justice.

17 主ヱホバかく言たまふ汝等わが群よ我羊と羊の間および牡羊と牡山羊の間の審判をなさん

And as for you, O my flock, thus says the lord Jehovah: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the he-goats.

18 汝等は善き牧場に草食ひ足をもてその殘れる草を蹈あらし又淸たる水を飮み足をもてその殘餘を濁す是汝等にとりて小き事ならんや

Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed upon the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture, and to have drunk of the clear waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?

19 わが群汝等が足にて蹈あらしたる者を食ひ汝等が足にて濁したる者を飮べけんや

And as for my sheep, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.

20 是をもて主ヱホバ斯かれらに言たまふ視よ我肥たる羊と痩たる羊の間を審判くべし

Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah to them: Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.

21 汝等は脅と肩とをもて擠し角をもて弱き者を盡く衝て遂に之を外に逐散せり

Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad,

22 是によりて我わが群を助けて再び掠められざらしめ又羊と羊の間をさばくべし

therefore I will save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey. And I will judge between sheep and sheep.

23 我かれらの上に一人の牧者をたてん其人かれらを牧ふべし是わが僕ダビデなり彼はかれらを牧ひ彼らの牧者となるべし

And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David. He shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

24 我ヱホバかれらの神とならん吾僕ダビデかれらの中に君たるべし我ヱホバこれを言ふ

And I, Jehovah, will be their God, and my servant David ruler among them. I, Jehovah, have spoken it.

25 我かれらと平和の契約を結び國の中より惡き獸を滅し絕つべし彼らすなはち安かに野に住み森に眠らん

And I will make a covenant of peace with them, and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, and they shall dwell securely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.

26 我彼らおよび吾山の周圍の處々に福祉を下し時に隨ひて雨を降しめん是すなはち福祉の雨なるべし

And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing, and I will cause the shower to come down in its season; there shall be showers of blessing.

27 野の樹はその實を結び地はその產物を出さん彼等は安然にその國にあるべし我がかれらの軛を碎き彼らをその僕となせる人の手より救ひいだす時に彼等は我のヱホバなるを知べし

And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, and they shall be secure in their land. And they shall know that I am Jehovah when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made bondmen of them.

28 彼等は重ねて國々の民に掠めらるる事なく野の獸かれらを食ふことなかるべし彼等は安然に住はん彼等を懼れしむる者なかるべし

And they shall no more be a prey to the nations, nor shall the beasts of the earth devour them, but they shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid.

29 我かれらのために一の栽植處を起してその名を聞えしめん彼等は重ねて國の饑饉に滅ぶることなく再び外邦人の凌辱を蒙ることなかるべし

And I will raise up to them a plantation for renown, and they shall no more be consumed with famine in the land, nor bear the shame of the nations any more.

30 彼らはその神なる我ヱホバが己と共にあるを知り自己イスラエルの家はわが民なることを知るべし主ヱホバこれを言ふ

And they shall know that I, Jehovah, their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, says the lord Jehovah.

31 汝等はわが羊わが牧場の群なり汝等は人なり我は汝らの神なりと主ヱホバ言たまふ

And ye my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, says the lord Jehovah.
