Ezra 9
1 And when these things were finished, the princes drew near to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands in their abominations, [even] the Chananite, the Ethite, the Pherezite, the Jebusite, the Ammonite, the Moabite, and the Moserite and the Amorite.
是等の事の成し後牧伯等我許にきたりて言ふ イスラエルの民祭司およびレビ人は諸國の民とはなれずしてカナン人ヘテ人ペリジ人エビス人アンモニ人モアブ人エジプト人アモリ人などの中なる憎むべき事を行へり
2 For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and their sons; and the holy seed has passed among the nations of the lands, and the hand of the rulers [has been] first in this transgression.
即ち彼等の女子を自ら娶りまたその男子に娶れば聖種諸國の民と相雜れり牧伯たる者 長たる者さきだちてこの愆を犯せりと
3 And when I heard this thing, I tore my garments, and trembled, and plucked [some] of the hairs of my head and of my beard, and sat down mourning.
我この事を聞て我衣と袍を裂き頭髪と鬚を抜き驚き呆れて坐せり
4 Then there assembled to me all that followed the word of the God of Israel, on account of the transgression of the captivity; and I remained mourning until the evening sacrifice.
イスラエルの神の言を戰慄おそるる者はみな俘囚より歸り來し者等の愆の故をもて我許に集まりしが我は晩の供物の時まで驚きつつ茫然として坐しぬ
5 And at the evening sacrifice I rose up from my humiliation; and when I had tore my garments, then I trembled, and I bow myself on my knees, and spread out my hands to the Lord God,
晩の供物の時にいたり我その苦行より起て衣と袍とを裂たるまま膝を屈めてわが神ヱホバにむかひ手を舒て
6 and I said, O Lord, I am ashamed and confounded, O my God, to lift up my face to you: for our transgressions have abounded over our head, and our trespasses have increased even to heaven.
言けるは我神よ我はわが神に向ひて面を擧るを羞て赧らむ 其は我らの罪積りて頭の上に出で我らの愆重りて天に達すればなり
7 From the days of our fathers we have been in a great trespass until this day: and because of our iniquities we, and our kings, and our children, have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the Gentiles by the sword, and by captivity, and by spoil, and with shame of our face, as at this day.
我らの先祖の日より今日にいたるまで我らは大なる愆を身に負り 我らの罪の故によりて我儕と我らの王等および祭司たちは國々の王等の手に付され劍にかけられ擄へゆかれ掠められ面に恥をかうぶれり 今日のごとし
8 And now our God has dealt mercifully with us, so as to leave us to escape, and to give us an establishment in the place of his sanctuary, to enlighten our eyes, and to give a little quickening in our servitude.
然るに今われらの神ヱホバ暫く恩典を施こして逃れ存すべき者を我らの中に殘し我らをしてその聖所にうちし釘のごとくならしめ斯して我らの神われらの目を明にし我らをして奴隷の中にありて少く生る心地せしめたまへり
9 For we are slaves, yet in our servitude the Lord our God has not deserted us; and he has extended favor to us in the sight of the kings of the Persians, to give us a quickening, that they should raise up the house of our God, and restore the desolate places of it, and to give us a fence in Juda and Jerusalem.
そもそも我らは奴隷の身なるがその奴隷たる時にも我らの神われらを忘れず反てペルシヤの王等の目の前にて我らに憐憫を施こして我らに活る心地せしめ我らの神の室を建しめ其破壞を修理はしめユダとヱルサレムにて我らに石垣をたまふ
10 What shall we say, our God, after this? for we have forsaken your commandments,
我らの神よ已に是のごとくなれば我ら今何と言のべんや 我儕はやくも汝の命令を棄たればなり
11 which you have given us by the hand of your servants the prophets, saying, The land, into which you go to inherit it, is a land subject to disturbance by the removal of the people of the nations for their abominations, wherewith they have filled it from one end to the other by their uncleanness.
汝かつて汝の僕なる預言者等によりて命じて宣へり 云く汝らが往て獲んとする地はその各地の民の汚穢により其憎むべき事によりて汚れたる地にして此極より彼極までその汚穢盈わたるなり
12 And now give not your daughters to their sons, and take not of their daughters for your sons, neither shall you seek their peace or their good for ever: that you may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and transmit it as an inheritance to your children for ever.
然ば汝らの女子を彼らの男子に與ふる勿れ 彼らの女子をなんぢらの男子に娶る勿れ 又何時までもかれらの爲に平安をも福祿をも求むべからず 然すれば汝ら旺盛にしてその地の佳物を食ふことを得 永くこれを汝らの子孫に傳へて産業となさしむることを得んと
13 And after all that is come upon us because of our evil deeds, and our great trespass, [it is clear] that there is none such as our God, for you has lightly visited our iniquities, and given us deliverance;
我らの惡き行により我らの大なる愆によりて此事すべて我儕に臨みたりしが汝我らの神はわれらの罪よりも輕く我らを罰して我らの中に是のごとく人を遺したまひたれば
14 whereas we have repeatedly broken your commandments, and intermarried with the people of the lands: be not very angry with us to [our] utter destruction, so that there should be no remnant or escaping one.
我儕再び汝の命令を破りて是等の憎むべき行ある民と縁を結ぶべけんや 汝我らを怒りて終に滅ぼし盡し遺る者も逃るる者も無にいたらしめたまはざらんや
15 O Lord God of Israel, you [are] righteous; for we remain [yet] escaped, as at this day: behold, we [are] before you in our trespasses: for we can’t stand before you on this account.
イスラエルの神ヱホバよ汝は義し 即ち我ら逃れて遺ること今日のごとし 今我ら罪にまとはれて汝の前にあり 是がために一人として汝の前に立ことを得る者なきなり
