エゼキエル書 24

1 九年の十月十日にヱホバの言我にのぞみて言ふ

And the word of the Lord came to me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth [day] of the month, saying,

2 人の子よ汝此日すなはち今日の名を書せバビロンの王今日ヱルサレムを攻をるなり

Son of man, write for yourself daily from this day, on which the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem, [even] from this day.

3 汝背ける家に譬喩をかたりて之に言へ主ヱホバかく言たまふ釜を居ゑ居ゑてこれに水を斟いれ

And speak a parable to the provoking house, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord; Set on the cauldron, and pour water into it:

4 其肉の凡て佳き所を集めて股と肩とを之に入れ佳き骨をこれに充し

and put the pieces into it, every prime piece, the leg and shoulder taken off from the bones,

5 羊の選擇者を取れ亦薪一束を取り下に入れて骨を煮釜を善く煮たて亦その中の骨を煮よ

[which are] taken from choice cattle, and burn the bones under them: her bones are boiled and cooked in the midst of her.

6 是故に主ヱホバかく言ふ禍なるかな血の流るる邑銹のつきたる釜 その銹これを離れざるなり肉を一箇一箇に取いだせ之がために籤を掣べからず

Therefore thus says the Lord; O bloody city, the cauldron in which there is scum, and the scum has not gone out of, she has brought it forth piece by piece, no lot has fallen upon it.

7 彼の血はその中にあり彼乾ける磐の上にこれを置りこれを土にそそぎて塵に覆はれしめず

For her blood is in the midst of her; I have set it upon a smooth rock: I have not poured it out upon the earth, so that the earth should cover it;

8 我怒を來らせ仇を復さんがためにその血を乾ける磐の上に置て塵に覆はれざらしめたり

that my wrath should come up for complete vengeance to be taken: I set her blood upon a smooth rock, so as not to cover it.

9 是故に主ヱホバかく言ふ禍なるかな血の流るる邑我またその薪の束を大にすべし

Therefore thus says the Lord, I will also make the firebrand great,

10 薪を積かさね火を燃し肉を善く煮てこれを煮つくしその骨をも燒しむべし

and I will multiply the wood, and kindle the fire, that the flesh may be consumed, and the liquor boiled away;

11 而して釜を空にして炭火の上に置きその銅をして熱くなりて燒しめ其汚穢をして中に鎔しめその銹を去しむべし

and that [it] may stand upon the coals, that her brass may be thoroughly heated, and be melted in the midst of her filthiness, and her scum may be consumed,

12 旣に手を盡したれどもその大なる銹さらざればその銹を火に投棄べし

and her abundant scum may not come forth of her.

13 汝の汚穢の中に淫行あり我汝を淨めんとしたれども汝淨まらざりしに因てわが怒を汝に洩しつくすまでは汝その汚穢をはなれて淨まることあらじ

Her scum shall become shameful, because you did defile yourself: and what if you shall be purged no more until I have accomplished my wrath?

14 我ヱホバこれを言り是至る我これを爲べし止ず惜まず悔ざるなり汝の道にしたがひ汝の行爲にしたがひて彼ら汝を鞫かん主ヱホバこれを言ふ

I the Lord have spoken; and it shall come, and I will do [it]; I will not delay, neither will I have any mercy: I will judge you, says the Lord, according to your ways, and according to your devices: therefore will I judge you according to your bloodshed, and according to your devices will I judge you, you unclean, notorious, and abundantly provoking one.

15 ヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ

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

16 人の子よ我頓死をもて汝の目の喜ぶ者を取去ん汝哀かず泣ず涙をながすべからず

Son of man, behold I take from you the desire of your eyes by violence: you shall not lament, neither shall you weep.

17 聲をたてずして哀け死人のために哀哭をなすなかれ冠物を戴き足に鞋を穿べし鬚を掩ふなかれ人のおくれる食物を食ふべからず

You shall groan for blood, and have mourning upon your loins; your hair shall not be braided upon you, and your sandals [shall be] on your feet; you shall in no wise be comforted by their lips, and you shall not eat the bread of men.

18 朝に我人々に語りしが夕にわが妻死ねり明朝におよびて我命ぜられしごとくなせり

And I spoke to the people in the morning, as he commanded me in the evening, and I did in the morning as it was commanded me.

19 茲に人々我に言けるは此汝がなすところの事は何の意なるや我らに告ざるや

And the people said to me, Will you not tell us what these things are that you do?

20 我かれらに言けるはヱホバの言我にのぞみて言ふ

Then I said to them, The word of the Lord came to me, saying,

21 イスラエルの家にいふべし主ヱホバかく言ふ視よ我汝らの勢力の榮汝らの目の喜愛汝らの心の望なるわが聖所を汚さん汝らが遺すところの子女等は劍に仆れん

Say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] profane my sanctuary, the boast of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and for which your souls are concerned; and your sons and your daughters, whom you have left, shall fall by the sword.

22 汝らもわが爲るごとくなし鬚を覆はず人のおくれる食物を食はず

And you shall do as I have done: you shall not be comforted at their mouth, and you shall not eat the bread of men.

23 首に冠物を戴き足に履を穿き哀かず泣ずその罪の中に痩衰へて互に呻かん

And your hair [shall be] upon your head, and your shoes on your feet: neither shall you at all lament or weep; but you shall pine away in your iniquities, and shall comfort every one his brother.

24 斯エゼキエル汝らに兆とならん彼がなしたるごとく汝ら爲ん是事の至らん時に汝ら我の主ヱホバなるを知べし

And Jezekiel shall be for a sign to you: according to all that I have done shall you do, when these things shall come; and you shall know that I am the Lord.

25 人の子よわが彼らの力かれらの樂むところの榮その目の喜愛その心の望その子女を取去る日

And you, son of man, [shall it] not [be] in the day when I take their strength from them, the pride of their boasting, the desires of their eyes, and the pride of their soul, their sons and their daughters,

26 その日に逃亡者汝の許に來り汝の耳に告ることあらん

that in that day he that escapes shall come to you, to tell [it] you in your ears?

27 その日に汝逃亡者にむかひて口を啓き語りて再び默せざらん斯汝かれらに兆となるべし彼らは遂に我のヱホバなるを知ん

In that day your mouth shall be opened to him that escapes; you shall speak, and shall be no longer dumb: and you shall be for a sign to them, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
