< 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 Yahweh, being upon me, he carried me forth in the spirit of Yahweh, and set me down in the midst of a plain, —and the same 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 caused me to pass near them. round about on every side, —and lo! they were very many on the face of the plain, and lo! 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 said he unto me, Son of man. Can these bones, live? And I said My Lord Yahweh, 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
Then said he unto me, Prophesy, over these bones, —and thou shalt say unto them, Ye bones so dry! hear ye the word of Yahweh!
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 My Lord Yahweh, Unto these bones, — Lo! I am about to bring into you— spirit, and ye 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
Yea I will lay upon you—sinews, And bring up over you flesh. And cover over you—skin, And put in you—spirit And ye shall live, Then shall ye know that I, am Yahweh.
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 when I prophesied as I was commanded, then was there a noise, as I prophesied and lo! a rattling, and the bones came near, each bone unto its own 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
And when I looked, then lo! upon them were sinews, and flesh had come up, and there had spread over them skin above, but spirit, was there none within 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 said he unto me, Prophesy unto the spirit, Prophesy, Son of man. and thou shalt say unto the spirit. Thus saith My Lord Yahweh- From the four winds, come thou, O spirit, And breathe into these slain 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
And when I prophesied as he commanded me, then came into them the spirit, and they lived and stood 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
Then said he unto me, Son of man. These bones, are all the house of Israel, — Lo! they are saying. Dried are our bones, and lost is our hope We are quite 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 thou shalt say unto them Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Lo I myself am going to open your graves And will cause you to come up out of your graves. O my people, — And will bring you upon the soil 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
So shall ye know that I, am Yahweh, — When I open your graves. And cause you to come up 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 I will put my spirit within you and ye shall live, And I will settle you upon your own soil, So shall ye know that I, Yahweh have spoken and have performed. Declareth Yahweh.
And the word of Yahweh came unto 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
Thou therefore Son of man Take thee one stick, and write upon it For Judah, and for the sons of Israel his companions, Then take thou another stick, and write upon it For Joseph the stick of Ephraim, and all the house of Israel his companions.
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 bring them near—the one to the other —for thee into one stick, - And they shall become united 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 sons of thy people speak unto thee, saying, - Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to thee?
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
speak unto them Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Lo! I, myself, am going to take the stick of Joseph. which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions, — And I will place them upon it even upon the stick of Judah. And will make of them one stick, And they shall 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
And the sticks whereon thou shalt write shall remain 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
Therefore speak thou unto them Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Lo! I myself, am going to take the sons of Israel, from among the nations whither they have gone, — And I will gather them from every side, And will bring them in upon their own soil;
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 will make of them one nation in the land. among the mountains of Israel, And one king, shall they all have for king, —And they shall remain no longer two nations, Nor shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more.
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
Neither shall they defile themselves any more With their manufactured gods or With their detestable things, or With any of their transgressions, - But I will save them out of all their dwelling- places, wherein they have sinned, And I will cleanse them And they shall become my people, And I, will become 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 one shepherd, shall they all have, And in my regulations, shall they walk, And my statutes, shall they observe and 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 upon the land. which I gave to my servant- to Jacob, Wherein your fathers dwelt, — Yea they shall dwell thereupon. They, and their children and their children’s children Unto times age-abiding, And David my servant shall be prince unto them Unto times age-abiding.
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 solemnise to them a covenant of prosperity, A covenant age-abiding, shall it be with them, — And I will place them. And multiply them, And set my sanctuary in the midst of them. Unto times age-abiding.
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 habitation shall be over them, And I will become their God, - And they, shall become 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
So shall the nations know that I, Yahweh, am hallowing Israel, - When my sanctuary is in the midst of them Unto times age-abiding.
