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 the Lord came vnto 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

Sonne of man, prophesie against the shepherdes of Israel, prophesie and say vnto them, Thus saieth the Lord God vnto the shepherds, Wo be vnto the shepherds of Israel, that feede them selues: should not the shepherds feede the flockes?

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

Yee eate the fat, and yee clothe you with the wooll: yee kill them that are fed, but ye feede not the sheepe.

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

The weake haue ye not strengthened: the sicke haue ye not healed, neither haue ye bounde vp the broken, nor brought againe that which was driuen away, neither haue yee sought that which was lost, but with crueltie, and with rigour haue yee ruled them.

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 without a shepherde: and when they were dispersed, they were deuoured of all the beastes of the fielde.

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 sheepe wandred through all the mountaines, and vpon euery hie hill: yea, my flocke was scattered through al the earth, and none did seeke or search after them.

7 是故に牧者よ汝らヱホバの言を聽け

Therefore ye shepherds, heare the woorde of the Lord.

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 liue, sayeth the Lord God, surely because my flocke was spoyled, and my sheepe were deuoured of all the beasts of the fielde, hauing no shepherde, neither did my shepherdes seeke my sheepe, but the shepherdes fedde them selues, and fedde not my sheepe,

9 是故に牧者よ汝らヱホバの言を聞け

Therefore, heare ye the word of the Lord, O ye shepherds.

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 saieth the Lord God, Behold, I come against the shepherds, and will require my sheepe at their hands, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheepe: neither shall the shepherds feede them selues any more: for I wil deliuer my sheepe from their mouthes, and they shall no more deuoure 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 sayeth the Lord God, Beholde, I will search my sheepe, and seeke 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 searcheth out his flocke, when he hath bene among his sheepe that are scattered, so wil I seeke out my sheepe and wil deliuer them out of all places, where they haue beene scattered in the cloudie and darke 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 people, and gather them from the countreis, and will bring them to their owne lande, and feede them vpon the mountaines of Israel, by the riuers, and in all the inhabited places of the countrey.

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 feede them in a good pasture, and vpon the hie mountaines of Israel shall their folde be: there shall they lie in a good folde and in fat pasture shall they feede vpon the mountaines 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 will feede my sheepe, and bring them to their rest, sayth the Lord God.

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 seeke that which was lost, and bring againe that which was driue away, and will binde vp that which was broken, and will strengthen the weake but I wil destroy the fat and the strong, and I will feede them with iudgement.

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

Also you my sheepe, Thus saieth the Lord God, behold, I iudge betweene sheepe, and sheepe, betweene the rammes and the goates.

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

Seemeth it a small thing vnto you to haue eaten vp the good pasture, but yee must treade downe with your feete the residue of your pasture? and to haue drunke of the deepe waters, but yee must trouble the residue with your feete?

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 my sheepe eate that which yee haue troden with your feete, and drinke that which ye haue troubled with your feete.

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 sayth the Lord God vnto them, behold, I, euen I wil iudge betweene the fat sheepe and the leane sheepe.

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 haue thrust with side and with shoulder, and pusht al the weake with your hornes, till ye haue scattered them abroade,

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 wil I helpe my sheepe, and they shall no more be spoyled, and I wil iudge betweene sheepe and sheepe.

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 wil set vp a shepherd ouer them, and he shall feede them, euen my seruant Dauid, he shall feede them, and he shalbe 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 the Lord will be their God, and my seruant Dauid shalbe the prince amog them. I the Lord haue 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 with them a couenant of peace, and will cause the euil beastes to cease out of the land: and they shall dwel safely in the wildernesse, and sleepe 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 wil set them, as a blessing, euen roud about my mountaine: and I will cause rayne to come downe in due season, and there shalbe raine 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 fielde shall yeeld her fruite, and the earth shall giue her fruite, and they shalbe safe in their land, and shall know that I am the Lord, when I haue broken the cordes of their yoke, and deliuered them out of the hands of those that serued themselues 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 spoyled of the heathen, neither shall the beastes of the land deuoure them, but they shall dwell safely and none shall make them afrayd.

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 rayse vp for them a plant of renoume, and they shalbe no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither beare the reproche of the heathen 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

Thus shall they vnderstande, that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they, euen the house of Israel, are my people, sayth the Lord God.

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 yee my sheepe, the sheepe of my pasture are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord God.
