< 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
Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it the 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 a fort against it, and cast a mound against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it on every side.
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
Moreover take thou to thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt 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
Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt 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 laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou 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
And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.
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
Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thy arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt 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
And, behold, I will lay cords upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy 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 thou also to thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread of them, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou 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
And thy food which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou 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
Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shalt thou 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
And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight.
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
And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, 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 said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither hath abominable flesh come 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, Lo, I have given thee cow’s dung for man’s dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread with them.
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, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and in horror:
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 lack bread and water, and be appalled one with another, and pine away for their iniquity.
