エゼキエル書 33

1 爰にヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ

Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 人の子よ汝の民の人々に告て之に言へ我劍を一の國に臨ましめん時その國の民おのれの國人の中より一人を選みて之を守望人となさんに

Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say to them, When I bring the sword on a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:

3 かれ國に劍の臨むを見ラッパを吹てその民を警むることあらん

If when he sees the sword come on the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;

4 然るに人ラッパの音を聞て自ら警めず劍つひに臨みて其人を失ふにいたらばその血はその人の首に歸すべし

Then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet, and takes not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be on his own head.

5 彼ラッパの音を聞て自ら警むることを爲ざればその血は己に歸すべし然どもし自ら警むることを爲ばその生命を保つことを得ん

He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be on him. But he that takes warning shall deliver his soul.

6 然れども守望者劍の臨むを見てラッパを吹ず民警戒をうけざるあらんに劍のぞみて其中の一人を失はば其人は己の罪に死るなれど我その血を守望者の手に討問めん

But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.

7 然ば人の子よ我汝を立てイスラエルの家の守望者となす汝わが口より言を聞き我にかはりて彼等を警むべし

So you, O son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.

8 我惡人に向ひて惡人よ汝死ざるべからずと言んに汝その惡人を警めてその途を離るるやうに語らずば惡人はその罪に死んなれどその血をば我汝の手に討問むべし

When I say to the wicked, O wicked man, you shall surely die; if you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.

9 然ど汝もし惡人を警めて翻りてその途を離れしめんとしたるに彼その途を離れずば彼はその罪に死ん而して汝はおのれの生命を保つことを得ん

Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.

10 然ば人の子よイスラエルの家に言へ汝らは斯語りて言ふ我らの愆と罪は我らの身の上にあり我儕はその中にありて消失ん爭でか生ることを得んと

Therefore, O you son of man, speak to the house of Israel; Thus you speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be on us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live?

11 汝かれらに言べし主ヱホバ言たまふ我は活く我惡人の死るを悦ばず惡人のその途を離れて生るを悦ぶなり汝ら翻へり翻へりてその惡き道を離れよイスラエルの家よ汝等なんぞ死べけんや

Say to them, As I live, says the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn you, turn you from your evil ways; for why will you die, O house of Israel?

12 人の子よ汝の民の人々に言べし義人の義はその人の罪を犯せる日にはその人を救ふことあたはず惡人はその惡を離れたる日にはその惡のために仆るることあらじ義人はその罪を犯せる日にはその義のために生ることを得じ

Therefore, you son of man, say to the children of your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sins.

13 我義人に汝かならず生べしと言んに彼その義を恃みて罪ををかさばその義は悉く忘らるべし其をかせる罪のために彼は死べし

When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he has committed, he shall die for it.

14 我惡人に汝かならず死べしと言んに彼その惡を離れ公道と公義を行ふことあらん

Again, when I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;

15 即ち惡人質物を歸しその奪ひし者を還し惡をなさずして生命の憲法にあゆみなば必ず生ん死ざるべし

If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.

16 その犯したる各種の罪は記憶らるることなかるべし彼すでに公道と公義を行ひたれば必ず生べし

None of his sins that he has committed shall be mentioned to him: he has done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.

17 汝の民の人々は主の道正しからずと言ふ然ど實は彼等の道の正しからざるなり

Yet the children of your people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.

18 義人もしその義を離れて罪ををかさば是がために死べし

When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he shall even die thereby.

19 惡人もしその惡を離れて公道と公義を行ひなば是がために生べし

But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.

20 然るに汝らは主の道正しからずといふイスラエルの家よ我各人の行爲にしたがひて汝等を鞫くべし

Yet you say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O you house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.

21 我らが擄へうつされし後すなはち十二年の十月の五日にヱルサレムより脱逃者きたりて邑は撃敗られたりと言ふ

And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, The city is smitten.

22 その逃亡者の來る前の夜ヱホバの手我に臨み彼が朝におよびて我に來るまでに我口を開けり斯わが口開けたれば我また默せざりき

Now the hand of the LORD was on me in the evening, before he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.

23 即ちヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ

Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

24 人の子よイスラエルの地の彼の墟址に住る者語りて云ふアブラハムは一人にして此地を有てり我等は衆多し此地はわれらの所有に授かると

Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.

25 是故に汝かれらに言ふべし主ヱホバかく言ふ汝らは血のままに食ひ汝らの偶像を仰ぎ且血を流すなれば尚此地を有つべけんや

Why say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall you possess the land?

26 汝等は劍を恃み憎むべき事を行ひ各々人の妻を汚すなれば此地を有つべけんや

You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and you defile every one his neighbor’s wife: and shall you possess the land?

27 汝かれらに斯言べし主ヱホバかく言ふ我は活くかの荒場に居る者は劍に仆れん野の表にをる者をば我獸にあたへて噬はしめん要害と洞穴とにをる者は疫病に死ん

Say you thus to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.

28 我この國を全く荒さん其誇るところの權勢は終に至らんイスラエルの山々は荒て通る者なかるべし

For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through.

29 彼らが行ひたる諸の憎むべき事のために我その國を全く荒さん時に彼ら我のヱホバなるを知ん

Then shall they know that I am the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.

30 人の子よ汝の民の人々垣の下家の門にて汝の事を論じ互に語りあひ各々その兄弟に言ふ去來われら如何なる言のヱホバより出るかを聽んと

Also, you son of man, the children of your people still are talking against you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that comes forth from the LORD.

31 彼ら民の集會のごとくに汝に來り吾民のごとくに汝の前に坐して汝の言を聞ん然ども之を行はじ彼らは口に悦ばしきところの事をなし其心は利にしたがふなり

And they come to you as the people comes, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their covetousness.

32 彼等には汝悦ばしき歌美しき聲美く奏る者のごとし彼ら汝の言を聞ん然ど之をおこなはじ

And, see, you are to them as a very lovely song of one that has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear your words, but they do them not.

33 視よその事至る其事のいたる時には彼らおのれの中に預言者あるを知べし

And when this comes to pass, (see, it will come, ) then shall they know that a prophet has been among them.
