エゼキエル書 39
1 人の子よ、ゴグに向かって預言して言え。主なる神はこう言われる、メセクとトバルの大君であるゴグよ、見よ、わたしはあなたの敵となる。
[Yahweh said to me], “You human, prophesy about [more terrible things that will happen] to Gog, and say this [to him]: ‘Gog, I am opposed to you who rule Meshech and Tubal.
2 わたしはあなたを引きもどし、あなたを押しやり、北の果から上らせ、イスラエルの山々に導き、
I will turn you around and drag you [and your armies] from far north [of Israel] and send you to [fight on] the mountains in Israel.
3 あなたの左の手から弓を打ち落し、右の手から矢を落させる。
When you are there, I will snatch your bows from your left hands and cause your arrows to fall from your right hands.
4 あなたとあなたのすべての軍隊およびあなたと共にいる民たちは、イスラエルの山々に倒れる。わたしはあなたを、諸種の猛禽と野獣とに与えて食わせる。
You and all the soldiers that are with you will die on the mountains in Israel. I will give your [corpses] to be food for the birds that eat [dead] flesh, and to the wild animals.
5 あなたは野の面に倒れる。わたしがこれを言ったからであると、主なる神は言われる。
You will die in the open fields. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, [have said that it will happen].
6 わたしはゴグと、海沿いの国々に安らかに住む者に対して火を送り、彼らにわたしが主であることを悟らせる。
I will cause [many] fires to burn in Magog and among [all] those who live safely in the areas along their coasts, and they will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
7 わたしはわが聖なる名を、わが民イスラエルのうちに知らせ、重ねてわが聖なる名を汚させない。諸国民はわたしが主、イスラエルの聖者であることを悟る。
I will enable my Israeli people to know that I am holy. I will no longer allow people to damage my reputation, and [people in other] nations will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, am the Holy One in Israel.
8 主なる神は言われる、見よ、これは来る、必ず成就する。これはわたしが言った日である。
[I], Yahweh the Lord, declare that it will soon be the day that those things will happen. It will be the day that I have spoken [to you] about.
9 イスラエルの町々に住む者は出て来て、武器すなわち大盾、小盾、弓、矢、手やり、およびやりなどを燃やし、焼き、七年の間これを火に燃やす。
At that time, those Israelis who live in the towns will go out and gather the weapons [from your dead soldiers], and use them to make fires [to cook their food]. They will burn the small and large shields, the bows and arrows, the war clubs, and spears. There will be enough weapons to use as firewood for seven years.
10 彼らは野から木を取らず、森から木を切らず、武器で火を燃やし、自分をかすめた者をかすめ、自分の物を奪った者を奪うと、主なる神は言われる。
They will not need to gather firewood in the fields or cut wood from trees in the forests, because those weapons will be all the firewood [that they will need]. And they will take valuable things from those who took valuable things from them, and steal things from people who stole things from them. [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare [will happen].
11 その日、わたしはイスラエルのうちに、墓地をゴグに与える。これは旅びとの谷にあって海の東にある。これは旅びとを妨げる。そこにゴグとその民衆を埋めるからである。これをハモン・ゴグの谷と名づける。
At that time I will create a graveyard for you, Gog, [and your soldiers], in the valley east of the [Dead] Sea. That graveyard will block the road that travelers [usually walk on], because you, Gog and all [the soldiers] of your huge army will be buried there. [So] it will be named ‘the Valley of Gog’s Huge Army’.
12 イスラエルの家はこれを埋めて、地を清めるために七か月を費す。
For seven months the people of Israel will be burying those corpses. [It will be necessary to bury all of them], in order that the land will not be (defiled/considered unacceptable to me) [because of any unburied corpses].
13 国のすべての民はこれを埋め、これによって名を高める。これはわが栄えを現す日であると、主なる神は言われる。
All the people of Israel will [do the work of] burying them. The day when I [win that victory] they will honor me.
14 彼らは人々を選んで、絶えず国の中を行きめぐらせ、地のおもてに残っている者を埋めて、これを清めさせる。七か月の終りに彼らは尋ねる。
After those seven months are ended, the Israeli people will appoint men to go throughout the land to bury corpses, in order that the land will not remain defiled.
15 国を行きめぐる者が行きめぐって、人の骨を見る時、死人を埋める者が、これをハモン・ゴグの谷に埋めるまで、そのかたわらに、標を建てて置く。
When they go through the land, when one of them sees a human bone, he will set up a marker beside it. [When] the gravediggers [see the markers, they will pick up the bones] and bury them in the Valley of Gog’s Huge Army.
16 （ハモナの町もそこにある。）こうして彼らはその国を清める。
There will be a city there named Hamonah, [which means ‘huge army’]. And by doing this [work of burying the corpses], they will (cleanse the land/cause the land to be acceptable to me again).’”
17 主なる神はこう言われる、人の子よ、諸種の鳥と野の獣とに言え、みな集まってこい。わたしがおまえたちのために供えた犠牲、すなわちイスラエルの山々の上にある、大いなる犠牲に、四方から集まり、その肉を食い、その血を飲め。
[Yahweh said to me], “You human, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: Summon every kind of bird and wild animal. Say to them, ‘Gather together from everywhere and come to the feast that Yahweh is preparing for you. [It will be] a great feast on the mountains in Israel. [There] you will eat [men’s] flesh and drink their blood.
18 おまえたちは勇士の肉を食い、地の君たちの血を飲め。雄羊、小羊、雄やぎ、雄牛などすべてバシャンの肥えた獣を食え。
You will eat the flesh of strong soldiers and drink the blood of kings [as if they were] fat animals—rams and lambs, goats and bulls—from the Bashan [region].
19 わたしがおまえたちのために供えた犠牲は、飽きるまでその脂肪を食べ、酔うまで血を飲め。
At that feast that Yahweh is preparing for you, you will eat fat until your [stomachs] are full, and you will drink blood until [it is as though] you are drunk.
20 おまえたちはわが食卓について馬と、騎手と、勇士と、もろもろの戦士とを飽きるほど食べると、主なる神は言われる。
[It will be as though] you are eating at a table that I [have set up for you. You will eat all you want of the flesh] of horses and their riders, strong soldiers [DOU] of every kind.’ [That is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.
21 わたしはわが栄光を諸国民に示す。すべての国民はわたしが行ったさばきと、わたしが彼らの上に加えた手とを見る。
I will show [people of] many nations that I am glorious, and all those nations will see how I punish them [DOU].
22 この日から後、イスラエルの家はわたしが彼らの神、主であることを悟るようになる。
After that time, the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh their God, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
23 また諸国民はイスラエルの家が、その悪によって捕え移されたことを悟る。彼らがわたしにそむいたので、わたしはわが顔を彼らに隠し、彼らをその敵の手に渡した。それで彼らは皆つるぎに倒れた。
And the [people of other] nations will know that the Israeli people had been forced to go to other countries because they sinned by not being faithful to me. I (turned away from/abandoned) them, and allowed their enemies to capture them [IDM], and many [HYP] of them were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
24 わたしは彼らの汚れと、とがとに従って、彼らを扱い、わたしの顔を彼らに隠した。
I punished them like they deserved to be punished because of their disgusting behavior and sins, and I turned away from them [MTY].
25 それゆえ、主なる神はこう言われる、いまわたしはヤコブの幸福をもとに返し、イスラエルの全家をあわれみ、わが聖なる名のために、ねたみを起す。
Therefore, this is [now] what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will now bring back from exile/Babylonia [the descendants of] Jacob; I will pity all the Israeli people, and I will [also] jealously protect my reputation.
26 彼らは、その国に安らかに住み、だれもこれを恐れさせる者がないようになった時、自分の恥と、わたしに向かってなした反逆とを忘れる。
When the Israeli people [are back in their own country, they will] live safely in their land, with no one to cause them to be afraid, but they will be ashamed when they think about the disgraceful and unfaithful things that they did [previously].
27 わたしが彼らを諸国民の中から帰らせ、その敵の国から呼び集め、彼らによって、わたしの聖なることを、多くの国民の前に示す時、
When I have brought them back from their enemies’ countries and gathered them together [in Israel], the people of many nations will know that I am holy.
28 彼らは、わたしが彼らの神、主であることを悟る。これはわたしが彼らを諸国民のうちに移し、またこれをその国に呼び集めたからである。わたしはそのひとりをも、国々のうちに残すことをしない。
And the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh their Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do]. They will know that because [even though] I forced them to go to [other] countries, I will gather them together in their own country. I will not leave any of them in those countries.
29 わたしは、わが霊をイスラエルの家に注ぐ時、重ねてわが顔を彼らに隠さないと、主なる神は言われる」。
I will no longer turn away from them; I will pour out my Spirit on the Israeli people. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
