< 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 a sharp weapon for yourself, take the barber’s razor for yourself, and you have caused [it] to pass over your head, and over your beard, and you have taken weighing scales for yourself, and apportioned them.
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
You burn a third part with fire in the midst of the city, at the fullness of the days of the siege; and you have taken the third part, you strike with a weapon around it; and the third part you scatter to the wind, and I draw out a weapon after them.
And you have taken there a few in number—and have bound them in your skirts;
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 take of them again, and have cast them into the midst of the fire, and have burned them in the fire—out of it comes forth a fire to all the 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 said Lord YHWH: “This [is] Jerusalem, I have set her in the midst of the nations, And the lands [are] around her.
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 she changes My judgments into wickedness more than the nations, And My statutes more than the lands that [are] around her, For they have kicked against My judgments, And My statutes—they have not walked in them.”
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 said Lord YHWH: “Because of your multiplying above the nations that [are] around you, You have not walked in My statutes, And you have not done My judgments, According to the judgments of the nations that [are] around you, you have not done.”
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
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “Behold, I [am] against you, even I, And I have done judgments in your midst, Before the eyes 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 have done in you that which I have not done, And the like of which I do not do again, Because of 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 fathers eat sons in your midst, And sons eat their fathers, And I have done judgments in you, And have scattered all your remnant 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,” a declaration of Lord YHWH, “Because you have defiled My sanctuary With all your detestable things, And with all your abominations, Therefore I also diminish you, And My eye does not pity, and I do not spare.
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
Your third part dies by pestilence, And are consumed by famine in your midst, And the third part fall by sword around you, And the third part I scatter to every wind, And I 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 anger has been completed, And I have caused My fury to rest on them, And I have been comforted, And they have known that I, YHWH, have spoken in My zeal, In My completing My fury on 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 give you for a ruin, And for a reproach among nations that [are] around you, Before the eyes of everyone passing by.
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 it has been a reproach and a reviling, An instruction and an astonishment, To nations that [are] around you, In My doing judgments in you, In anger and fury, and in furious reproofs, I, YHWH, 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
In My sending the evil arrows of famine among them, That have been for destruction, That I send to destroy you, And I am adding famine on you, And I have broken your staff of 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
And I have sent famine and evil beasts on you, And they have bereaved you, And pestilence and blood pass over on you, And I bring a sword in against you, I, YHWH, have spoken!”
