< 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 brought me forth in the spirit of the Lord: and set me down in the midst of a plain that 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
And he led me about through them on every side: now they were very many upon the face of the plain, and they were exceeding 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
And he said to me: Son of man, dost thou think these bones shall live? And I answered: O Lord God, thou knowest.
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 say to them: Ye 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
Thus saith the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will send spirit into you, and you shall live.
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
And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to grow over you, and will cover you with skin: and I will give you spirit and you shall live, and you shall 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
And I prophesied as he had commanded me: and as I prophesied there was a noise, and behold a commotion: and the bones came together, each one to its joint.
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
And I saw, and behold the sinews, and the flesh came up upon them: and the skin was stretched out over them, but there was no spirit 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
And he said to me: Prophesy to the spirit, prophesy, O son of man, and say to the spirit: Thus saith the Lord God: Come, spirit, from the four winds, and blow upon these slain, and let them live again.
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
And I prophesied as he had commanded me: and the spirit came into them, and they lived: and they stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great 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
And he said to me: Son of man: All these bones are the house of Israel: they say: Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost, and 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 say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will open your graves, and will bring you out of your sepulchres, O my people: and will bring you into 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
And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have opened your sepulchres, and shall have brought you out of your graves, O my people:
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
And shall have put my spirit in you, and you shall live, and I shall make you rest upon your own land: and you shall know that I the Lord have spoken, and done it, saith the Lord God:
And 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 thou son of man, take thee a stick: and write upon it: Of Juda, and of the children of Israel his associates: and take another stick and write upon it: For Joseph the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, and of his associates.
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
And join them one to the other into one stick, and they shall become one in thy 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
And when the children of thy people shall speak to thee, saying: Wilt thou not tell us what thou meanest by this?
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
Say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel that are associated with him, and I will put them together with the stick of Juda, and will make them one stick: and they shall be one in his 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
And the sticks whereon thou hast written, shall be in thy hand, before their eyes.
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
And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will take the children of Israel from the midst of the nations whither they are gone: and I will gather them on every side, and will bring them to 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
And I will make them one nation in the land on the mountains of Israel, and one king shall be king over them all: and they shall no more be two nations, neither shall they be divided any more 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
Nor shall they be defiled any more with their idols, nor with their abominations, nor with all their iniquities: and I will save them out of all the places in which they have sinned, and I will cleanse them: and they shall 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
And my servant David shall be king over them, and they shall have one shepherd: they shall walk in my judgments, and shall keep my commandments, and shall do them.
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
And they shall dwell in the land which I gave to my servant Jacob, wherein your fathers dwelt, and they shall dwell in it, they and their children, and their children’s children, for ever: and David my servant shall be their prince for ever.
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 shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will establish them, and will multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for ever.
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
And my tabernacle shall be with them: and I will be their God, and they shall 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
And the nations shall know that I am the Lord the sanctifier of Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for ever.
