Ezekiel 26
1 And it happened that, in the eleventh year, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
第十一年の第一日に主の言葉がわたしに臨んだ、
2 “Son of man, because Tyre has said about Jerusalem: ‘It is Well! The gates of the peoples have been broken! She has been turned toward me. I will be filled. She will be deserted!’
「人の子よ、ツロはエルサレムについて言った、『ああ、それはよい気味である。もろもろの民の門は破れて、わたしに開かれた。わたしは豊かになり、彼は破れはてた』と。
3 because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and I will cause many nations to rise up against you, just as the waves of the sea rise up.
それゆえ、主なる神はこう言われる、ツロよ、わたしはあなたを攻め、海がその波を起すように、わたしは多くの国民を、あなたに攻めこさせる。
4 And they will break apart the walls of Tyre, and they will destroy its towers. And I will scrape her dust from her, and I will make her into the barest rock.
彼らはツロの城壁をこわし、そのやぐらを倒す。わたしはその土を払い去って、裸の岩にする。
5 She will be a drying place for nets from the midst of the sea. For I have spoken, says the Lord God. And she will be a spoil for the Gentiles.
ツロは海の中にあって、網をはる場所になる。これはわたしが言ったのであると、主なる神は言われる。ツロは、もろもろの民にかすめられ、
6 Likewise, her daughters who are in the field will be slain by the sword. And they shall know that I am the Lord.
その本土におる娘たちは、つるぎで殺される。そして彼らは、わたしが主であることを知るようになる。
7 For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will lead into Tyre: Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, a king among kings, from the north, with horses, and chariots, and horsemen, and companies, and a great people.
主なる神はこう言われる、見よ、わたしは王の王なるバビロンの王ネブカデレザルに、馬、戦車、騎兵、および多くの軍勢をひきいて、北からツロに攻めこさせる。
8 Your daughters who are in the field, he will kill with the sword. And he will surround you with fortifications, and he will put together a rampart on all sides. And he will lift up a shield against you.
彼は本土におるあなたの娘たちを、つるぎで殺し、あなたに向かって雲悌を建て、塁を築き、盾を備え、
9 And he will combine moveable shelters and battering rams before your walls, and he will destroy your towers with his armaments.
城くずしをあなたの城壁に向け、おのであなたのやぐらを打ち砕く。
10 He will cover you with the inundation of his horses and with their dust. Your walls will shake at the sound of horsemen and wheels and chariots, when they will have entered your gates, as if through the entrance of a city that has been broken open.
その多くの馬の土煙は、あなたをおおう。人が破れた町にはいるように、彼があなたの門にはいる時、騎兵と貨車と戦車の響きによって、あなたの石がきはゆるぐ。
11 With the hoofs of his horses, he will trample all your streets. He will cut down your people with the sword, and your noble statues will fall to the ground.
彼はその馬のひずめで、あなたのすべてのちまたを踏みあらし、つるぎであなたの民を殺す。あなたの力強い柱は地に倒れる。
12 They will lay waste to your wealth. They will despoil your businesses. And they will tear down your walls and overturn your eminent houses. And they will put your stones and your timber and your dust into the midst of the waters.
彼らはあなたの財宝を奪い、商品をかすめ、城壁をくずし、楽しい家をこわし、石と木と土とを水の中に投げ込む。
13 And I will cause the multitude of your songs to cease. And the sound of your stringed instruments will no longer be heard.
わたしはあなたの歌の声をとどめる。琴の音はもはや聞えなくなる。
14 And I will make you like the barest rock; you will be a drying place for nets. And you will no longer be built up. For I have spoken, says the Lord God.”
わたしはあなたを裸の岩にする。あなたは網を張る場所となり、再び建てられることはない。主なるわたしがこれを言ったと、主なる神は言われる。
15 Thus says the Lord God to Tyre: “Will not the islands shake at the sound of your ruin and at the groans of your slain, when they will have been cut down in your midst?
主なる神はツロにこう言われる、海沿いの国々はあなたの倒れる響き、手負いのうめき、あなたのうちの殺人のゆえに、身震いしないであろうか。
16 And all the leaders of the sea will descend from their thrones. And they will cast aside their outer garments and their colorful clothing, and they will be clothed in stupor. They will sit on the ground, and they will wonder with astonishment at your sudden downfall.
その時、海の君たちは皆その位からおり、朝服を脱ぎ、縫い取りの衣服を取り去り、恐れを身にまとい、地に座して、いたく恐れ、あなたの事を驚き、
17 And taking up a lamentation over you, they will say to you: ‘How could you have perished, you who live in the sea, the famous city that was strong in the sea, with your inhabitants, of whom the whole world was in dread?’
あなたのために悲しみの歌をのべて言う、『あなたは海にあって、強い誉ある町、本土に恐れを与えていたあなたも、その住民も、海から消え去った。
18 Now the ships will be stupefied, in the day of your terror. And the islands of the sea will be disturbed, because no one goes out from you.
島々はあなたの倒れる日に身震いする。海の島々はあなたの去り行くことを見て驚く』。
19 For thus says the Lord God: When I will have made you a desolate city, like the cities that are uninhabited, and when I will have led the abyss over you, and many waters will have covered you,
主なる神はこう言われる、わたしはあなたを、荒れた町となし、住む者のない町のようにし、淵をあなたに向かってわきあがらせ、大水にあなたをおおわせる時、
20 and when I will have dragged you down with those who descend into the pit to the everlasting people, and when I will have assembled you in the lowest parts of the earth, like the desolate places of antiquity, with those who have been brought down into the pit, so that you will be uninhabited, and moreover, when I will have given glory to the land of the living:
あなたを穴に下る者どもと共に、昔の民の所に下し、穴に下る者と共に下の国に、昔のままの荒れ跡の中に、あなたを住ませる。それゆえ、あなたは人の住む所とならず、また生ある者の地に所を得ない。
21 I will reduce you to nothing, and you shall not be, and if you are sought, you will no longer be found, in perpetuity, says the Lord God.”
わたしはあなたの終りを、恐るべきものとする。あなたは無に帰する。あなたを尋ねる人があっても、永久に見いださないと、主なる神は言われる」。
