< エゼキエル書 5 >
1 人の子よ汝利き刀を執り之を剃刀となして汝の頭と頷をそり權衡をとりてその毛を分てよ
And you, son of man, take you a sword sharper than a barber's razor; you shall procure it for yourself, and shall bring it upon your head, and upon your beard: and you shall take a pair of scales, and shall separate the hair.
2 而して圍城の日の終る時邑の中にて火をもて其三分の一を燒き又三分の一を取り刀をもて邑の周圍を撃ち三分の一を風に散すべし我刀をぬきて其後を追ん
A fourth part you shall burn in the fire in the midst of the city, at the fulfilment of the days of the siege: and you shall take a fourth part, and burn it up in the midst of it: and a fourth part you shall cut with a sword round about it: and a fourth part you shall scatter to the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.
And you shall take thence a few in number, and shall wrap them in the fold of your garment.
4 又その中を取りてこれを火の中になげいれ火をもて之をやくべし火その中より出てイスラエルの全家におよばん
And you shall take of these again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them up with fire: from thence shall come forth fire; and you shall say to the whole house of Israel,
5 主ヱホバかくいひ給ふ我このヱルサレムを萬國の中におき列邦をその四圍に置けり
Thus says the Lord; This is Jerusalem: I have set her and the countries round about her in the midst of the nations.
6 ヱルサレムは異邦よりも惡くわが律法に悖り其四圍の國々よりもわが法憲に悖る即ち彼等はわが律法を蔑如にしわが法憲に歩行まざるなり
And you shall declare mine ordinances to the lawless one from out of the nations; and my statutes [to the sinful one] of the countries round about her: because they have rejected mine ordinances, and have not walked in my statutes.
7 故に主ヱホバかくいひたまふ汝等はその周圍の異邦人よりも甚だしく噪ぎたち吾憲にあゆまず吾法をおこなはず又汝らの周圍なる異邦人の法のごとくに行ふことすらもせざるなり
Therefore thus says the Lord, Because your occasion [for sin has been taken] from the nations round about you, and you have not walked in my statutes, nor kept mine ordinances, nay, you have not even done according to the ordinances of the nations round about you; therefore thus says the Lord;
8 是故に主ヱホバかくいひ給ふ視よ我 われは汝を攻め異邦人の目の前にて汝の中に鞫をおこなはん
Behold, I am against you, and I will execute judgement in the midst of you in the sight of the nations.
9 なんぢの爲せし諸の惡むべき事のために我わが未だ爲ざりしところの事此後ふたたび其ごとく爲ざるべきところの事を汝になさん
And I will do in you things which I have not done, and the like of which I will not do again, for all your abominations.
10 是がために汝の中にて父たる者はその子を食ひ子たる者はその父を食はん我汝の中に鞫をおこなひ汝の中の餘れる者を盡く四方の風に散さん
Therefore the fathers shall eat [their] children in the midst of you, and children shall eat [their] fathers; and I will execute judgements in you, and I will scatter all that are left of you to every wind.
11 是故に主ヱホバいひ給ふ我は活く汝その忌むべき物とその憎むべきところの事とをもてわが聖所を穢したれば我かならず汝を減さん我目なんぢを惜み見ず我なんぢを憐まざるべし
Therefore, [as] I live, says the Lord; surely, because you have defiled my holy things with all your abominations, I also will reject you; mine eye shall not spare, and I will have no mercy.
12 汝の三分の一は汝の中において疫病にて死に饑饉にて滅びん又三分の一は汝の四周にて刀に仆れん又三分の一をば我四方の風に散し刀をぬきて其後をおはん
A fourth part of you shall be cut off by pestilence, and a fourth part of you shall be consumed in the midst of you with famine: and [as for another] fourth part of you, I will scatter them to every wind; and a fourth part of you shall fall by sword round about you, and I will draw out a sword after them.
13 斯我怒を洩し盡しわが憤を彼らの上にかうむらせて心を安んぜん我わが憤を彼らの上に洩し盡す時は彼ら我ヱホバの熱心をもてかたりたる事をしるに至らん
And my wrath and mine anger shall be accomplished upon them: and you shall know that I the Lord have spoken in my jealousy, when I have accomplished mine anger upon them.
14 我汝を荒地となし汝の周圍の國々の中に汝を笑柄となし凡て往來の人の目に斯あらしむべし
And I will make you desolate, and your daughters round about you, in the sight of every one that passes through.
15 我怒と憤と重き責をもて鞫を汝に行ふ時は汝はその周圍の邦々の笑柄となり嘲となり警戒となり驚懼とならん我ヱホバこれを言ふ
And you shall be mourned over and miserable amongst the nations round about you, when I have executed judgements in you in the vengeance of my wrath. I the Lord have spoken.
16 即ち我饑饉の惡き矢を彼等に放たん是は滅亡すための者なり我汝らを滅さんために之を放つべし我なんぢらの上に饑饉を増しくはへ汝らが杖とするところのパンを打碎かん
And when I have sent against them shafts of famine, then they shall be consumed, and I will break the strength of your bread.
17 我饑饉と惡き獸を汝等におくらん是汝をして子なき者とならしめん又疫病と血なんぢの間に行わたらん我刀を汝にのぞましむべし我ヱホバこれを言ふ
So I will send forth against you famine and evil beasts, and I will take vengeance upon you; and pestilence and blood shall pass through upon you; and I will bring a sword upon you round about. I the Lord have spoken.
