< エゼキエル書 31 >

1 第十一年の三月一日に主の言葉がわたしに臨んだ、
And it was in one [plus] ten year in the third [month] on [day] one of the month it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
2 「人の子よ、エジプトの王パロと、その民衆とに言え、あなたはその大いなること、だれに似ているか。
O son of humankind say to Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and to multitude his whom? are you like in greatness your.
3 見よ、わたしはあなたをレバノンの香柏のようにする。麗しき枝と森の陰があり、たけが高く、その頂は雲の中にある。
There! Assyria [was] a cedar in Lebanon beautiful of branch[es] and forest giving shade and tall of height and between branches it was treetop its.
4 水はこれを育て、大水がこれを高くする。その川々はその植えた所をめぐって流れ、その流れを野のすべての木に送る。
Waters they made grow it [the] deep it raised up it rivers its going around planting place its and channels its it sent out to all [the] trees of the field.
5 これによってそのたけは、野のすべての木よりも高くなり、その育つとき多くの水のために枝葉は茂り、枝は伸び、
There-fore it was tall height its more than all [the] trees of the field and they became great boughs its and they became long (branches its *Q(K)*) from waters many when sent out it.
6 その枝葉に空のすべての鳥が、巣をつくり、その枝の下に野のすべての獣は子を生み、その陰にもろもろの国民は住む。
In boughs its they made nests every bird of the heavens and under branches its they gave birth every animal of the field and in shade its they dwelt all nations great.
7 これはその大きなことと、その枝の長いことによって美しかった。その根を多くの水に、おろしていたからである。
And it was beautiful in greatness its in [the] length of branches its for it was root its to waters many.
8 神の園の香柏も、これと競うことはできない。もみの木もその枝葉に及ばない。けやきもその枝と比べられない。神の園のすべての木も、その麗しきこと、これに比すべきものはない。
Cedars not they eclipsed it in [the] garden of God fir trees not they were like boughs its and plane trees not they were like branches its every tree in [the] garden of God not it was like it in beauty its.
9 わたしはその枝を多くして、これを美しくした。神の園にあるエデンの木は皆これをうらやんだ。
Beautiful I made it in [the] abundance of branches its and they envied it all [the] trees of Eden which [were] in [the] garden of God.
10 それゆえ、主なる神はこう言われる、これは、たけが高くなり、その頂を雲の中におき、その心が高ぶりおごるゆえ、
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because that you were tall in height and it set treetop its to between branches and it was lifted up heart its in height its.
11 わたしはこれを、もろもろの国民の力ある者の手に渡す。彼はこれに対してその悪のために正しい処置をとる。わたしはこれを追い出した。
And I will give it in [the] hand of a leader of nations certainly he will do to it according to wickedness its I drove out it.
12 もろもろの国民の最も恐れている異邦人はこれを切り倒して捨てる。その枝はもろもろの山と、すべての谷とに落ち、その枝葉は砕けて、地のすべての流れにあり、地のすべての民は、その陰を離れて、これを捨てる。
And they cut down it strangers ruthless [ones] of nations and they abandoned it to the mountains and in all [the] valleys they fell branches its and they were broken branches its in all [the] ravines of the land and they went down from shade its all [the] peoples of the earth and they abandoned it.
13 その倒れた所に、空のもろもろの鳥は住み、その枝の上に、野のもろもろの獣はいる。
On fallen trunk its they dwelt every bird of the heavens and to branches its they came every animal of the field.
14 これは水のほとりのすべての木が、その高さのために誇ることなく、その頂を雲の中におくことなく、水に潤う木が、みずから高ぶり立つことのないためである。これらは皆、死に渡され、下の国に入り、穴に下る者と共に他の人々のうちにいる。
So that that not they may be lifted up in height their any trees of water and not they may set treetop their to between branches and not they may stand leaders their by height their any drinkers of water for all of them they have been given to death to [the] earth lowest in among [the] children of humankind to [those who] go down of [the] pit.
15 主なる神はこう言われる、これが陰府に下る日にわたしが淵をこれがために悲しませ、その川々をせきとめるので、大水はとどまる。わたしはレバノンを、これがために嘆かせ、野のすべての木を、これがために衰えさせる。 (Sheol h7585)
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh on [the] day went down it Sheol towards I caused mourning I covered over it [the] deep and I withheld rivers its and they were restrained waters many and I made mourn on it Lebanon and all [the] trees of the field on it [were] wilted. (Sheol h7585)
16 わたしがこれを穴に下る者と共に陰府に落す時、もろもろの国民をその落ちる響きのために、打ち震えさせる。そしてエデンのすべての木、レバノンのすぐれて美しいもの、すべて水に潤うものは、下の国で慰められる。 (Sheol h7585)
From [the] sound of downfall its I caused to tremble nations when brought down I it Sheol towards with [those who] go down of [the] pit and they were comforted in [the] earth lowest all [the] trees of Eden [the] choicest and [the] good of Lebanon all drinkers of water. (Sheol h7585)
17 彼らもこれと共に陰府に下り、つるぎで殺された者のところに至る。まことにもろもろの国民のうちで、その陰に住んだ者も滅びる。 (Sheol h7585)
Also they with it they went down Sheol towards to [those] slain of a sword and arm its [which] they dwelt in shade its in among [the] nations. (Sheol h7585)
18 エデンの木のうちで、その栄えと大いなることで、あなたはどれに似ているのか。あなたはこのように、エデンの木と共に、下の国に落され、つるぎで殺された者と共に、割礼を受けない者のうちに住む。これがパロとその民衆であると、主なる神は言われる」。
Whom? are you like thus in splendor and in greatness among [the] trees of Eden and you will be brought down with [the] trees of Eden to [the] earth lowest in among uncircumcised [men] you will lie with [those] slain of a sword that [is] Pharaoh and all (multitude his *Q(K)*) [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
