エゼキエル書 12

1 ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて云ふ

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 人の子よ汝は背戻る家の中に居る彼等は見る目あれども見ず聞く耳あれども聞ず背戻る家なり

Son of man, you dwell in the midst of the iniquities of those, who have eyes to see, and see not; and have ears to hear, and hear not: because it is a provoking house.

3 然ば人の子よ移住の器具を備へかれらの目の前にて晝の中に移れ彼らの目の前にて汝の處より他の處に移るべし彼等は背戻る家なれども或は見て考ふることあらん

You therefore, son of man, prepare yourself baggage for going into captivity by day in their sight; and you shall be led into captivity from your place into another place in their sight; that they may see that it is a provoking house.

4 汝移住の器具のごとき器具を彼等の目の前にて晝の中に持いだせ而して移住者の出ゆくがごとく彼等の目の前にて宵の中に出ゆくべし

And you shall carry forth your baggage, baggage for captivity, by day before their eyes: and you shall go forth at even, as a captive goes forth, in their sight.

5 即ちかれらの目の前にて壁をやぶりて之を其處より持いだせ

Dig for yourself into the wall [of the house], and you shall pass through it in their sight:

6 彼らの目の前にてこれを肩に負ひ黑暗の中にこれを持いだすべし汝の面を掩へ地を見るなかれ我汝を豫兆となしてイスラエルの家に示すなり

you shall be lifted up on [men's] shoulders, and shall go forth in secret: you shall cover your face, and shall not see the ground: because I have made you a sign to the house of Israel.

7 我すなはち命ぜられしごとく爲し移住の器具のごとき器具を晝の中に持いだし又宵に手をもて壁をやぶり黑暗の中にこれを持いだし彼らの目の前にてこれを肩に負り

And I did thus according to all that he commanded me; and I carried forth my baggage for captivity by day, and in the evening I dug through the wall for myself, and went out secretly; I was taken up on [men's] shoulders before them.

8 明旦におよびてヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ

And the word of the Lord came to me in the morning, saying,

9 人の子よ背戻る家なるイスラエルの家汝にむかひて汝なにを爲やと言しにあらずや

Son of man, have not the house of Israel, the provoking house, said to you, What do you?

10 汝かれらに言ふべし主ヱホバかく言たまふこの負荷はヱルサレムの君主および彼等の中なるイスラエルの全家に當るなり

Say to them, Thus says the Lord God, the Prince and the Ruler in Israel, even to all the house of Israel who are in the midst of them:

11 汝また言ふべし我は汝等の豫兆なりわが爲るごとく彼等然なるべし彼等は擄へうつされん

say, I am performing signs: as I have done, so shall it be to him: they shall go into banishment and captivity.

12 彼らの中の君主たる者黑暗のうちに物を肩に載て出ゆかん彼等壁をやぶりて其處より物を持いだすべし彼はその面を覆ひて土地を目に見ざらん

And the prince in the midst of them shall be borne upon shoulders, and shall go forth in secret through the wall, and shall dig so that he may go forth thereby: he shall cover his face, that he may not be seen by [any] eye, and he himself shall not see the ground.

13 我わが網を彼の上に打かけん彼はわが羅にかかるべし我かれをカルデヤ人の地に曳ゆきてバビロンにいたらしめん然れども彼はこれを見ずして其處に死べし

And I will spread out my net upon him, and he shall be caught in my toils: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; but he shall not see it, though he shall die there.

14 凡て彼の四周にありて彼を助くる者およびその軍兵は皆我これを四方に散し刀刃をぬきて其後をおふべし

And I will scatter to every wind all his assistants round about him, and all that help him; and I will draw out a sword after them;

15 吾がかれらを諸の民の中に散し國々に撒布さん時にいたりて彼らは我のヱホバなるをしるべし

And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have scattered them amongst the nations; and I will disperse them in the countries.

16 但し我かれらの中に僅少の人を遺して劍と饑饉と疫病を免れしめ彼らをしてそのおこなひし諸の憎むべき事をその到るところの民の中に述しめん彼等はわがヱホバなるを知るにいたらん

And I will leave of them [a few] men in number [spared] from the sword, and from famine, and pestilence; that they may declare all their iniquities amongst the nations whither they have gone; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

17 ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

18 人の子よ汝發震て食物を食ひ戰慄と恐懼をもて水を飮め

Son of man, eat your bread with sorrow, and drink [your] water with torment and affliction.

19 而してこの地の民に言べし主ヱホバ、ヱルサレムの民のイスラエルにをる者に斯いひたまふ彼等は懼れて食物を食ひ驚きて水を飮にいたるべし是はその地凡てその中に住る者の暴逆のために富饒をうしなひて荒地となるが故なり

And you shall say to the people of the land, Thus says the Lord to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, on the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread in scarcity, and shall drink their water in desolation, that the land may be desolate with all that it contains: for all that dwell in it are ungodly.

20 人の住る邑々は荒はて國は滅亡ぶべし汝等すなはち我がヱホバなるを知ん

And their inhabited cities shall be laid utterly waste, and the land shall be desolate; and you shall know that I am the Lord.

21 ヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

22 人の子よイスラエルの國の中に汝等いふ日は延び默示はみな空しくなれりと是何の言ぞや

Son of man, what is your parable on the land of Israel, that you say, The days are long, the vision has perished?

23 是故に汝彼等に言べし主ヱホバかくいひ給ふ我この言を止め彼等をして再びこれをイスラエルの中に言ことなからしめん即ち汝かれらに言へ其日とその諸の默示の言は近づけりと

Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord; I will even set aside this parable, and the house of Israel shall no more at all use this parable: for you shall say to them, The days are at hand, and the import of every vision.

24 イスラエルの家には此後重ねて空浮き默示と虛僞の占卜あらざるべし

For there shall no more be any false vision, nor any one prophesying flatteries in the midst of the children of Israel.

25 夫我はヱホバなり我わが言をいださん吾いふところは必ず成んかさねて延ることあらじ背戻る家よ汝等が世にある日に我言を發して之を成すべし主ヱホバこれを言ふ

For I the Lord will speak my words; I will speak and perform [them], and will no more delay, for in your days, O provoking house, I will speak the word, and will perform [it], says the Lord.

26 ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ

Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

27 人の子よ視よイスラエルの家言ふ彼が見たる默示は許多の日の後の事にして彼は遙後の事を預言するのみと

Son of man, behold, the provoking house of Israel boldly say, The vision which this man sees is for many days, and he prophesies for times afar off.

28 是故にかれらに言ふべし主ヱホバかくいひたまふ我言はみな重ねて延ず吾がいへる言は成べしと主ヱホバこれを言ふなり

Therefore say to them, Thus says the Lord; Henceforth none of my words shall linger, which I shall speak: I will speak and do, says the Lord.
