エゼキエル書 37
1 爰にヱホバの手我に臨みヱホバ我をして靈にて出行しめ谷の中に我を放賜ふ其處には骨充てり
The hand of the LORD was upon me, and He brought me out by His Spirit and set me down in the middle of the valley, and it was full of bones.
2 彼その周圍に我をひきめぐりたまふに谷の表には骨はなはだ多くあり皆はなはだ枯たり
He led me all around among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, and indeed, they were very dry.
3 彼われに言たまひけるは人の子よ是等の骨は生るや我言ふ主ヱホバよ汝知たまふ
Then He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones come to life?” “O Lord GOD,” I replied, “only You know.”
4 彼我に言たまふ是等の骨に預言し之に言べし枯たる骨よヱホバの言を聞け
And He said to me, “Prophesy concerning these bones and tell them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!
5 主ヱホバ是らの骨に斯言たまふ視よ我汝らの中に氣息を入しめて汝等を生しめん
This is what the Lord GOD says to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you will come to life.
6 我筋を汝らの上に作り肉を汝らの上に生ぜしめ皮をもて汝らを蔽ひ氣息を汝らの中に與へて汝らを生しめん汝ら我がヱホバなるを知ん
I will attach tendons to you and make flesh grow upon you and cover you with skin. I will put breath within you so that you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
7 我命ぜられしごとく預言しけるが我が預言する時に音あり骨うごきて骨と骨あひ聯る
So I prophesied as I had been commanded. And as I prophesied, there was suddenly a noise, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to bone.
8 我見しに筋その上に出きたり肉生じ皮上よりこれを蔽ひしが氣息その中にあらず
As I looked on, tendons appeared on them, flesh grew, and skin covered them; but there was no breath in them.
9 彼また我に言たまひけるは人の子よ氣息に預言せよ人の子よ預言して氣息に言へ主ヱホバかく言たまふ氣息よ汝四方の風より來り此殺されし者等の上に呼吸きて是を生しめよ
Then He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and tell the breath that this is what the Lord GOD says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe into these slain, so that they may live!”
10 我命ぜられしごとく預言せしかば氣息これに入て皆生きその足に立ち甚だ多くの群衆となれり
So I prophesied as He had commanded me, and the breath entered them, and they came to life and stood on their feet—a vast army.
11 斯て彼われに言たまふ人の子よ是等の骨はイスラエルの全家なり彼ら言ふ我らの骨は枯れ我らの望は竭く我儕絕はつるなりと
Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Look, they are saying, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope has perished; we are cut off.’
12 是故に預言して彼らに言へ主ヱホバかく言たまふ吾民よ我汝等の墓を啓き汝らをその墓より出きたらしめてイスラエルの地に至らしむべし
Therefore prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘O My people, I will open your graves and bring you up from them, and I will bring you back to the land of Israel.
13 わが民よ我汝らの墓を開きて汝らを其墓より出きたらしむる時汝らは我のヱホバなるを知ん
Then you, My people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and bring you up from them.
14 我わが靈を汝らの中におきて汝らを生しめ汝らをその地に安んぜしめん汝等すなはち我ヱホバがこれを言ひ之を爲たることを知にいたるべし
I will put My Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will do it, declares the LORD.’”
15 ヱホバの言我にのぞみて言ふ
Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
16 人の子よ汝一片の木を取てその上にユダおよびその侶なるイスラエルの子孫と書き又一片の木をとりてその上にヨセフおよびその侶なるイスラエルの全家と書べし是はエフライムの木なり
“And you, son of man, take a single stick and write on it: ‘Belonging to Judah and to the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another stick and write on it: ‘Belonging to Joseph—the stick of Ephraim—and to all the house of Israel associated with him.’
17 而して汝これを俱にあはせて一の木となせ是汝の手の中にて相聯らん
Then join them together into one stick, so that they become one in your hand.
18 汝の民の人々汝に是は何の意なるか我儕に示さざるやと言ふ時は
When your people ask you, ‘Won’t you explain to us what you mean by these?’
19 これに言ふべし主ヱホバかく言たまふ我エフライムの手にあるヨセフとその侶なるイスラエルの支派の木を取り之をユダの木に合せて一の木となしわが手にて一とならしめん
you are to tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel associated with him, and I will put them together with the stick of Judah. I will make them into a single stick, and they will become one in My hand.’
20 汝が書つけたるところの木を彼らの目のまへにて汝の手にあらしめ
When the sticks on which you write are in your hand and in full view of the people,
21 かれらに言ふべし主ヱホバかく言たまふ我イスラエルの子孫をその往るところの國々より出し四方よりかれを集めてその地に導き
you are to tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will take the Israelites out of the nations to which they have gone, and I will gather them from all around and bring them into their own land.
22 その地に於て汝らを一の民となしてイスラエルの山々にをらしめん一人の王彼等全體の王たるべし彼等は重て二の民となることあらず再び二の國に分れざるべし
I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel, and one king will rule over all of them. Then they will no longer be two nations and will never again be divided into two kingdoms.
23 彼等またその偶像とその憎むべき事等およびその諸の愆をもて身を汚すことあらじ我かれらをその罪を犯せし諸の住處より救ひ出してこれを淸むべし而して彼らはわが民となり我は彼らの神とならん
They will no longer defile themselves with their idols or detestable images, or with any of their transgressions. I will save them from all their apostasies by which they sinned, and I will cleanse them. Then they will be My people, and I will be their God.
24 わが僕ダビデかれらの王とならん彼ら全體の者の牧者は一人なるべし彼らはわが律法にあゆみ吾法度をまもりてこれを行はん
My servant David will be king over them, and there will be one shepherd for all of them. They will follow My ordinances and keep and observe My statutes.
25 彼らは我僕ヤコブに我が賜ひし地に住ん是其先祖等が住ひし所なり彼處に彼らとその子及びその子の子とこしなへに住はん吾僕ダビデ長久にかれらの君たるべし
They will live in the land that I gave to My servant Jacob, where your fathers lived. They will live there forever with their children and grandchildren, and My servant David will be their prince forever.
26 我かれらと和平の契約を立ん是は彼らに永遠の契約となるべし我かれらを堅うし彼らを殖しわが聖所を長久にかれらの中におかん
And I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary among them forever.
27 我が住所は彼らの上にあるべし我かれらの神となり彼らわが民とならん
My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be My people.
28 わが聖所長久にかれらの中にあるにいたらば國々の民は我のヱホバにしてイスラエルを淸むる者なるを知ん
Then the nations will know that I the LORD sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is among them forever.’”
