< エゼキエル書 4 >
1 人の子よ汝磚瓦をとりて汝の前に置きその上にヱルサレムの邑を畵け
"You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before yourself, and portray on it a city, even Jerusalem:
2 而して之を取圍み之にむかひて雲梯を建て壘を築き陣營を張り邑の周圍に破城槌を備へて之を攻めよ
and lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it; set camps also against it, and plant battering rams against it all around.
3 汝また鐵の鍋を取り汝と邑の間に置て鐵の石垣となし汝の面を之に向よ斯この邑圍まる汝之を圍むべし是すなはちイスラエルの家にあたふる徴なり
Take for yourself an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city: and set your face toward it, and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
4 又汝左側を下にして臥しイスラエルの家の罪を其上に置よ汝が斯臥ところの日の數は是なんぢがその罪を負ふ者なり
"Moreover lie on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; according to the number of the days that you shall lie on it, you shall bear their iniquity.
5 我かれらが罪を犯せる年を算へて汝のために日の數となす即ち三百九十日の間汝イスラエルの家の罪を負ふべし
For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be to you a number of days, even three hundred ninety days: so you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
6 汝これを終なば復右側を下にして臥し四十日の間ユダの家の罪を負ふべし我汝のために一日を一年と算ふ
"Again, when you have accomplished these, you shall lie on your right side, and shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah: forty days, each day for a year, have I appointed it to you.
7 汝ヱルサレムの圍に面を向け腕を袒して其の事を預言すべし
You shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered; and you shall prophesy against it.
8 視よ我索を汝にかけて汝の圍の日の終るまで右左に動くことを得ざらしめん
Look, I lay bands on you, and you shall not turn you from one side to the other, until you have accomplished the days of your siege.
9 汝 小麥 大麥 豆 扁豆 粟および裸麥を取て之を一箇の器にいれ汝が横はる日の數にしたがひてこれを食とせよ即ち三百九十日の間これを食ふべし
"Take for yourself also wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make bread of it; according to the number of the days that you shall lie on your side, even three hundred ninety days, you shall eat of it.
10 汝食を權りて一日に二十シケルを食へ時々これを食ふべし
Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time you shall eat it.
11 又汝水を量りて一ヒンの六分一を飮め時々これを飮むべし
You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time you shall drink.
12 汝大麥のパンの如くにして之を食へ即ち彼等の目のまへにて人の糞をもて之を烘べし
You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man."
13 ヱホバいひ給ふ是のごとくイスラエルの民はわが追やらんところの國々においてその汚穢たるパンを食ふべし
The LORD said, "Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them."
14 是において我いふ嗚呼主ヱホバよわが魂は絕て汚れし事なし我は幼少時より今にいたるまで自ら死し者や裂殺れし者を食ひし事なし又絕て汚れたる肉わが口にいりしことなし
Then I said, "Ah Lord GOD. Look, my soul has not been polluted; for from my youth up even until now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn of animals; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth."
15 ヱホバ我にいひ給ふ我牛の糞をもて人の糞にかふることを汝にゆるす其をもて汝のパンを調ふべし
Then he said to me, "Look, I have given you cow's dung for man's dung, and you shall prepare your bread thereon."
16 又われに言たまふ人の子よ視よ我ヱルサレムに於て人の杖とするパンを打碎かん彼等は食をはかりて惜みて食ひ水をはかりて驚きて飮まん
Moreover he said to me, "Son of man, look, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness; and they shall drink water by measure, and in dismay:
17 斯食と水と乏しくなりて彼ら互に面を見あはせて駭きその罪に亡びん
that they may want bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
