エゼキエル書 7
1 主の言葉がまたわたしに臨んだ、
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said]
2 「人の子よ、イスラエルの地の終りについて主はこう言われる、この国の四方の境に終りが来た。
“You human, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say to [the people] [MTY] of Israel: All of Israel will soon be destroyed.
3 いま、あなたの終りが来た。わたしはわが怒りをあなたに漏らし、あなたの行いに従って、あなたをさばき、あなたのもろもろの憎むべき物のためにあなたを罰する。
[people of Israel], the end has come. I will punish you severely. I will judge you for all the wicked things that you have done, and pay you back for your disgusting behavior.
4 わたしの目はあなたを惜しみ見ず、またあなたをあわれまない。わたしはあなたの行いのためにあなたを罰する。あなたの憎むべき事があなたのうちにある。これによって、あなたがたはわたしが主であることを知るようになる。
I will not pity you or act mercifully toward you. I will [surely] punish you for your wicked behavior [DOU]. Then you will know that [it has happened because] I, Yahweh, [have done it].”
5 主なる神はこう言われる、災が引き続いて起る。見よ、災が来る。
This is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “You will soon experience many terrible disasters!
6 終りが来る。その終りが来る。それが起って、あなたに臨む。見よ、それが来る。
This will be the [of Israel]; your country will be finished! And your [lives] will be ended [PRS]!
7 この地に住む者よ、あなたの最後の運命があなたに来た。時は来た。日が近づいた。混乱の日で、山々に聞える喜びの日ではない。
It will be the end of you people who live in the [of Israel]. The time has come; the [when you will be destroyed] is near. At that time [the people who worship idols] on the mountains will not be happy; they will panic.
8 今わたしは、すみやかにわたしの憤りをあなたの上に注ぎ、わたしの怒りをあなたに漏らし尽し、あなたの行いに従ってあなたをさばき、あなたのもろもろの憎むべき事のためにあなたを罰する。
I am very angry with you and am about to pour out my punishment [MTY] on you. I will judge you for all the wicked things that you have done and pay you back for your disgusting behavior.
9 わたしの目はあなたを惜しみ見ず、またあなたをあわれまない。わたしはあなたの行いのためにあなたを罰する。あなたの憎むべき事があなたのうちにある。これによって、あなたがたは、主であるわたしがあなたを撃つことを知るようになる。
I will not pity you or act mercifully toward you. I will surely punish you for your wicked behavior [DOU]. Then you will know that it is I, Yahweh, who have punished you.
10 見よ、その日を。また見よ、かの日が来た。あなたの最後の運命が来た。不義は花咲き、高ぶりは芽を出した。
The [of your punishment] is here! It has arrived! Disasters have come.
11 暴虐はつのって悪のつえとなった。彼らもその群衆も、その富も消え、また彼らの名声も消えて何も残らなくなる。
People are acting violently and doing more wicked things. And nothing that belongs to those people will be left, none of their money, nothing that is valuable.
12 時は来た。日は近づいた。買う者は喜ぶな。売る者は悲しむな。怒りがすべての群衆の上に臨むからだ。
Now is the time; that day has arrived.
13 売る者はたとい生きていても、その売ったものに帰ることはない。怒りがそのすべての民衆の上にあるからだ。それはもとに帰らない。その不義のために、だれも命を全うすることはできない。
People who buy things should not [because of buying things very cheaply], and those who sell things should not be [because they had to sell things cheaply], [Yahweh] will be punishing [MTY] everyone. During the rest of their lives, people who sell some of their property will never be able to buy it back, because I, Yahweh, will never change my mind about what I have declared; because of your sins, [I will destroy] all of you people.
14 人々がラッパを吹いて備えをしても戦いに出る者はない。それはわたしの怒りがそのすべての群衆の上にあるからだ。
Even though [soldiers] blow [to prepare for] a battle, no soldier will go into a battle, because I will have killed all of them.
15 外にはつるぎがあり、内には疫病とききんがある。畑にいる者はつるぎに死に、町にいる者はききんと疫病に滅ぼされる。
[When those things happen, your enemies] will be [the city] with their swords, and there will be plagues and famines [the city]. [who flee from the city] into the countryside will be killed [their enemies’] swords, and those who stay in the city will die from famines and plagues.
16 そのうちの、のがれる者は谷間のはとのように山々に行って、おのおの皆その罪のために悲しむ。
Those who survive and escape will flee to the mountains, and they all will moan like doves because of their sins.
17 両手とも弱くなり、両ひざとも水のように弱くなる。
[Because everyone will be very afraid, ] all the people’s hands will become limp and their knees will become very weak.
18 彼らは荒布を身にまとい、恐れが彼らをおおい、すべての顔には恥があらわれ、すべての頭は髪をそり落す。
They will put on clothes made from rough cloth, and they will be terrified. Their faces will show that they are ashamed, and they will shave their [to show that they are very sad].
19 彼らはその銀をちまたに捨て、その金はあくたのようになる。主の怒りの日には金銀も彼らを救うことはできない。それらは彼らの飢えを満足させることができない、またその腹を満たすことができない。それは彼らの不義のつまずきであったからだ。
They will throw their silver into the streets, and consider that their gold is only like [SIM] garbage, because they will realize that their silver and gold will not be able to rescue them when I, Yahweh, punish them. They will not be able to use their gold and silver to buy things to fill their stomachs, because having a lot of gold and silver has led them to sin.
20 彼らはその美しい飾り物を高ぶりのために用い、またこれをもってその憎むべき偶像と忌むべき物を造った。それゆえわたしはこれを彼らに対して汚れたものとする。
They were proud of their beautiful jewelry, and they used it to make their detestable idols and disgusting [of their gods]. So I will cause them to be disgusted with those things.
21 わたしはこれを外国人の手に渡して奪わせ、地の悪人に渡してかすめさせる。彼らはこれを汚す。
I will give their silver and gold to foreigners who invade your country and take away your valuable treasures. I will give those things to wicked people, and they will do disgraceful things to those treasures that I give them.
22 わたしは彼らから顔をそむけて、彼らにわたしの聖所を汚させる。強盗がこれにはいって汚し、
I will not (interfere with/stop) [IDM] robbers when they enter my sacred temple and desecrate it.
23 また荒れ地とする。この地は流血のとがに満ち、この町は暴虐に満ちているゆえ、
Prepare chains to be fastened on you. People are being murdered [MTY] throughout the country, and people are acting violently throughout the city.
24 わたしは国々のうちの悪い者どもを招いて、彼らの家をかすめさせる。わたしは強い者の高ぶりをやめさせる。また彼らの聖所は汚される。
So I will bring armies of the nations whose people are extremely wicked to occupy the houses of the Israeli people. I will cause Israeli [who think that they] are [IRO] strong/mighty to no longer be proud. Your enemies will cause your places of worship to no longer be acceptable to be used.
25 滅びが来るとき、彼らは平安を求めても得られない。
When your enemies cause you to be terrified, you will plead for them to make peace, but there will be no peace.
26 災に災が重なりきたり、知らせに知らせが相つぐ。その時、彼らは預言者に幻を求める。しかし律法は祭司のうちに絶え、計りごとは長老のうちに絶える。
You will experience many disasters, and you will continually hear [about disasters that are happening in other places]. People will plead with prophets to tell them what visions they have received, [but the prophets will not have received any visions]. Priests will no longer teach people the [that I gave to Moses].
27 王は悲しみ、つかさは望みを失い、その地の民の手はおののきによってこわばる。わたしは彼らの行いに従って彼らをあつかい、そのさばきに従って彼らをさばく。そして彼らはわたしが主であることを知るようになる」。
Your king will mourn, and his son will no [longer] [that good things will happen]. The hands of people throughout the country will tremble. And I will do to them what they deserve for their wicked behavior. I will [and condemn] them the same way they have [and condemned] others. Then they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
