< エゼキエル書 5 >

1 人の子よ汝利き刀を執り之を剃刀となして汝の頭と頷をそり權衡をとりてその毛を分てよ
“Then you, son of man, take a sharp sword as a barber's razor for yourself, and pass the razor over your head and your beard, then take scales to weigh and divide your hair.
2 而して圍城の日の終る時邑の中にて火をもて其三分の一を燒き又三分の一を取り刀をもて邑の周圍を撃ち三分の一を風に散すべし我刀をぬきて其後を追ん
Burn a third of it with fire in the midst of the city when the days of the siege are completed, and take a third of the hair and strike it with the sword all around the city. Then scatter a third of it to the wind, and I will draw out a sword to chase after the people.
3 汝その毛を少く取りて裾に包み
But take a small number of hairs from them and tie them into the folds of your robe.
4 又その中を取りてこれを火の中になげいれ火をもて之をやくべし火その中より出てイスラエルの全家におよばん
Then take more of the hair and throw it into the midst of the fire; and burn it in the fire; from there a fire will go out to all the house of Israel.”
5 主ヱホバかくいひ給ふ我このヱルサレムを萬國の中におき列邦をその四圍に置けり
The Lord Yahweh says this, “This is Jerusalem in the midst of the nations, where I have placed her, and where I have surrounded her with other lands.
6 ヱルサレムは異邦よりも惡くわが律法に悖り其四圍の國々よりもわが法憲に悖る即ち彼等はわが律法を蔑如にしわが法憲に歩行まざるなり
But she has in wickedness rejected my decrees more than the nations have, and my statutes more than the countries that surround her. The people have rejected my judgments and have not walked in my statutes.”
7 故に主ヱホバかくいひたまふ汝等はその周圍の異邦人よりも甚だしく噪ぎたち吾憲にあゆまず吾法をおこなはず又汝らの周圍なる異邦人の法のごとくに行ふことすらもせざるなり
Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, “Because you are more troublesome than the nations that surround you and have not walked in my statutes or acted according to my decrees, or even acted according to the decrees of the nations that surround you,”
8 是故に主ヱホバかくいひ給ふ視よ我 われは汝を攻め異邦人の目の前にて汝の中に鞫をおこなはん
therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, “Behold! I myself will act against you. I will execute judgments within your midst for the nations to see.
9 なんぢの爲せし諸の惡むべき事のために我わが未だ爲ざりしところの事此後ふたたび其ごとく爲ざるべきところの事を汝になさん
I will do to you what I have not done and the like of which I will not do again, because of all your disgusting actions.
10 是がために汝の中にて父たる者はその子を食ひ子たる者はその父を食はん我汝の中に鞫をおこなひ汝の中の餘れる者を盡く四方の風に散さん
Therefore fathers will eat the children in your midst, and sons will eat their fathers, since I will execute judgment on you and scatter to every direction all of you who are left.
11 是故に主ヱホバいひ給ふ我は活く汝その忌むべき物とその憎むべきところの事とをもてわが聖所を穢したれば我かならず汝を減さん我目なんぢを惜み見ず我なんぢを憐まざるべし
Therefore, as I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—it is certainly because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your hateful things and with all your disgusting deeds, that I myself will reduce you in number; my eye will not have pity on you, and I will not spare you.
12 汝の三分の一は汝の中において疫病にて死に饑饉にて滅びん又三分の一は汝の四周にて刀に仆れん又三分の一をば我四方の風に散し刀をぬきて其後をおはん
A third of you will die by plague, and they will be consumed by famine in your midst. A third will fall by the sword surrounding you. Then I will scatter a third in every direction, and draw out a sword to chase after them as well.
13 斯我怒を洩し盡しわが憤を彼らの上にかうむらせて心を安んぜん我わが憤を彼らの上に洩し盡す時は彼ら我ヱホバの熱心をもてかたりたる事をしるに至らん
Then my wrath will be completed, and I will cause my fury toward them to rest. I will be satisfied, and they will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken in my wrath when I have completed my fury against them.
14 我汝を荒地となし汝の周圍の國々の中に汝を笑柄となし凡て往來の人の目に斯あらしむべし
I will make you a desolation and a reproach to the nations that surround you in the sight of everyone who passes by.
15 我怒と憤と重き責をもて鞫を汝に行ふ時は汝はその周圍の邦々の笑柄となり嘲となり警戒となり驚懼とならん我ヱホバこれを言ふ
So Jerusalem will become something for other people to condemn and to mock, a warning and a horror to the nations that surround you. I will execute judgments against you in wrath and fury, and with a furious rebuke—I, Yahweh have declared this!
16 即ち我饑饉の惡き矢を彼等に放たん是は滅亡すための者なり我汝らを滅さんために之を放つべし我なんぢらの上に饑饉を増しくはへ汝らが杖とするところのパンを打碎かん
I will send out harsh arrows of famine against you that will become the means with which I will destroy you. For I will increase the famine on you and break your staff of bread.
17 我饑饉と惡き獸を汝等におくらん是汝をして子なき者とならしめん又疫病と血なんぢの間に行わたらん我刀を汝にのぞましむべし我ヱホバこれを言ふ
I will send a famine and disasters against you so you will be childless. Plague and blood will pass through you, and I will bring a sword against you—I, Yahweh, have declared this.”
