エゼキエル書 34

1 ヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ

And there is a word of Jehovah unto 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 concerning shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and thou hast said unto them: To the shepherds, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Woe [to] the shepherds of Israel, Who have been feeding themselves! The flock do not the shepherds feed?

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

The fat ye do eat, and the wool ye put on, The fed one ye slaughter, the flock ye feed not.

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 weak ye have not strengthened, And the sick one ye have not healed, And the broken ye have not bound up, And the driven away have not brought back, And the lost ye have not sought, And with might ye have ruled them and with rigour.

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 are scattered from want of a shepherd, And are for food to every beast of the field, Yea, they are 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

Go astray do My flock on all the mountains, And on every high hill, And on all the face of the land have My flock been scattered, And there is none inquiring, and none seeking.

7 是故に牧者よ汝らヱホバの言を聽け

Therefore, shepherds, hear a 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

I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, If not, because of My flock being for a prey, Yea, My flock is for food to every beast of the field, Because there is no shepherd, And My shepherds have not sought My flock, And the shepherds do feed themselves, And My flock they have not fed.

9 是故に牧者よ汝らヱホバの言を聞け

Therefore, O shepherds, hear a 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 said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against the shepherds, And have required My flock from their hand, And caused them to cease from feeding the flock, And no more do the shepherds feed themselves, And I have delivered My flock from their mouth, And they are not to them for food.

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 said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I — even I, have required My flock, And I have sought it 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's searching of his drove, In the day of his being in the midst of his scattered flock, so I do seek My flock, And have delivered them out of all places, Whither they have been scattered, In a day of cloud and thick darkness.

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 brought them out from the peoples, And have gathered them from the lands, And brought them unto their own ground, And have fed them on mountains of Israel, By streams, and by all dwellings of the land.

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

With good pasture I do feed them, And on mountains of the high place of Israel is their habitation, There do they lie down in a good habitation, And fat pastures they enjoy on 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 feed My flock, and cause them to lie down, An affirmation of 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

The lost I seek, and the driven away bring back, And the broken I bind up, and the sick I strengthen, And the fat and the strong I destroy, I feed it with judgment.

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 you, My flock, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am judging between sheep and sheep, Between rams and 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

Is it a little thing for you — the good pasture ye enjoy, And the remnant of your pasture ye tread down with your feet, And a depth of waters ye do drink, And the remainder with your feet ye trample,

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 flock the trodden thing of your feet consumeth, And the trampled thing of your feet drinketh?

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 said the Lord Jehovah to them: Lo, I — even I, have judged between fat sheep and 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 with side and with shoulder ye thrust away, And with your horns push all the diseased, Till ye have scattered them to the out-place,

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

And I have given safety to My flock, And they are not any more for prey, And I have judged 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 have raised up over them one shepherd, And he hath fed them — my servant David, He doth feed them, and he is 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, I am their God, And My servant David prince in their midst, I, Jehovah, have spoken.

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 have made for them a covenant of peace, And caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, And they have dwelt in a wilderness confidently, And they have slept in forests.

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 have given them, and the suburbs of my hill, a blessing, And caused the shower to come down in its season, Showers of blessing they are.

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 given hath the tree of the field its fruit, And the land doth give her increase, And they have been on their land confident, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My breaking the bands of their yoke, And I have delivered them from the hand of those laying service on 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 are no more a prey to nations, And the beast of the earth devoureth them not, And they have dwelt confidently, And there is none troubling.

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 have raised for them a plant for renown, And they are no more consumed by hunger in the land, And they bear no more the shame of the nations.

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 have known that I, Jehovah, their God, [am] with them, And they — the house of Israel — My people, An affirmation of 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 flock, the flock of My pasture, Men ye [are] — I [am] your God, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'
