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 cried also, in my hearing, with a loud voice, saying: Bring ye near the punishments of the city, every one his weapon of destruction in his hand.
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 lo, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which looketh toward the north, every one with his slaughter-weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's ink-horn by his side; and they went in, and stood beside the brazen 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 glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub upon which it was to the threshold of the house; and he called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer's ink-horn 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 Jehovah said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that wail for all the abominations that are done in the midst 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 others he said, in my hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite! let not your eyes spare, neither have ye pity!
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
The old man, the youth, the virgin, little children and women, slay and destroy; but come not near any one upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then began they at the elders that 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 said to them, Pollute the house, and fill the courts with the slain, then go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
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
And while they were smiting them, I alone was left; and I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! wilt thou destroy all the remnant of Israel, while thou pourest out thy fury upon Jerusalem?
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
And he said to me: The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness. For they say, “Jehovah hath forsaken the land”; and, “Jehovah seeth 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
Therefore mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity. Their way will I recompense upon their head.
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 lo, the man clothed with linen, who had the ink-horn by his side, returned answer, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
