エゼキエル書 9

1 斯て彼大聲に吾耳に呼はりて言たまふ邑を主どる者等各々剪滅の器具を手にとりて前み來れと

He cryed also with a loude voyce in mine eares, saying, The visitations of the citie draw neere, and euery man hath a weapon in his hande to destroy it.

2 即ち北にむかへる上の門の路より六人の者おのおの打壞る器具を手にとりて來る其中に一人布の衣を着筆記人の墨盂を腰におぶる者あり彼等來りて銅の壇の傍に立てり

And beholde, sixe men came by the way of the hie gate, which lieth towarde the North, and euery man a weapon in his hande to destroy it: and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writers ynkhorne by his side, and they went in and stoode beside the brasen altar.

3 爰にイスラエルの神の榮光その居るところのケルブの上より起あがりて家の閾にいたり彼の布の衣を着て腰に筆記人の墨盂をおぶる者を呼ぶ

And the glorie of the God of Israel was gone vp from ye Cherub, whereupon he was and stoode on the doore of the house, and he called to the man clothed with linnen, which had the writers ynkhorne by his side.

4 時にヱホバかれに言たまひけるは邑の中ヱルサレムの中を巡れ而して邑の中に行はるるところの諸の憎むべき事のために歎き哀しむ人々の額に記號をつけよと

And the Lord said vnto him, Goe through the middes of the citie, euen through the middes of Ierusalem and set a marke vpon the foreheads of them that mourne, and cry for all the abominations that be done in the middes thereof.

5 我聞に彼またその他の者等にいひたまふ彼にしたがひて邑を巡りて撃てよ汝等の目人を惜み見るべからず憐れむべからず

And to the other he said, that I might heare, Goe ye after him through the citie, and smite: let your eye spare none, neither haue pitie.

6 老人も少者も童女も孩子も婦人も悉く殺すべし然ど身に記號ある者には觸べからず先わが聖所より始めよと彼等すなはち家の前にをりし老人より始む

Destroy vtterly the old, and the yong, and the maides, and the children, and the women, but touch no man, vpon whome is the marke, and begin at my Sanctuarie. Then they began at the Ancient men, which were before the house.

7 彼またかれらに言たまふ家を汚し死人をもて庭に充せよ汝等往けよと彼等すなはち出ゆきて邑の中に人を撃つ

And he sayde vnto them, Defile the house, and fill the courtes with the slaine, then goe foorth: and they went out, and slewe them in the citie.

8 彼等人を撃ちける時我遺されたれば俯伏て叫び言ふ嗚呼主ヱホバよ汝怒をヱルサレムにもらしてイスラエルの殘餘者を悉くほろぼしたまふや

Nowe when they had slaine them, and I had escaped, I fell downe vpon my face, and cryed, saying, Ah Lord God, wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel, in powring out thy wrath vpon Ierusalem?

9 彼われに言たまひけるはイスラエルとユダの家の罪甚だ大なり國には血盈ち邑には邪曲充つ即ち彼等いふヱホバは此地を棄てたりヱホバは見ざるなりと

Then saide he vnto me, The iniquitie of the house of Israel, and Iudah is exceeding great, so that the lande is full of blood, and the citie full of corrupt iudgement: for they say, The Lord hath forsaken the earth, and the Lord seeth vs not.

10 然ば亦わが目かれらを惜み見ず我かれらを憐まじ彼らの行ふところを彼等の首に報いん

As touching me also, mine eye shall not spare them, neither will I haue pitie, but will recompence their wayes vpon their heades.

11 時にかの布の衣を着て腰に筆記人の墨盂をおぶる人復命まをして言ふ汝が我に命じたまひしごとく爲たりと

And beholde, the man clothed with linen which had the ynkhorne by his side, made report, and saide, Lord, I haue done as thou hast commanded me.
