エゼキエル書 43
1 その後、彼はわたしを門に導いた。門は東に面していた。
And he took me to the doorway looking to the east:
2 その時、見よ、イスラエルの神の栄光が、東の方から来たが、その来る響きは、大水の響きのようで、地はその栄光で輝いた。
And there was the glory of the God of Israel coming from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of great waters, and the earth was shining with his glory.
3 わたしが見た幻の様は、彼がこの町を滅ぼしに来た時に、わたしが見た幻と同様で、これはまたわたしがケバル川のほとりで見た幻のようであった。それでわたしは顔を伏せた。
And the vision which I saw was like the vision I had seen when he came for the destruction of the town: and like the vision which I saw by the river Chebar; and I went down on my face.
4 主の栄光が、東の方に面した門の道から宮にはいった時、
And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the doorway looking to the east.
5 霊がわたしを引き上げて、内庭に導き入れると、見よ、主の栄光が宮に満ちた。
And the spirit, lifting me up, took me into the inner square; and I saw that the house was full of the glory of the Lord.
6 その人がわたしのかたわらに立った時、わたしはひとりの人が、宮の中からわたしに語るのを聞いた。
And the voice of one talking to me came to my ears from inside the house; and the man was by my side.
7 彼はわたしに言った、「人の子よ、これはわたしの位のある所、わたしの足の裏の踏む所、わたしが永久にイスラエルの人々の中に住む所である。またイスラエルの家は、民もその王たちも、再び姦淫と、王たちの死体とをもって、わが聖なる名を汚さない。
And he said to me, Son of man, this is the place where the seat of my power is and the resting-place of my feet, where I will be among the children of Israel for ever: and no longer will the people of Israel make my holy name unclean, they or their kings, by their loose ways and by the dead bodies of their kings;
8 彼らはその敷居を、わが敷居のかたわらに設け、その門柱を、わが門柱のかたわらに設けたので、わたしと彼らとの間には、わずかに壁があるのみである。そして彼らは、その犯した憎むべき事をもって、わが聖なる名を汚したので、わたしは怒りをもって、これを滅ぼした。
By putting their doorstep by my doorstep, and the pillar of their door by the pillar of my door, with only a wall between me and them; and they have made my holy name unclean by the disgusting things which they have done: so in my wrath I sent destruction on them.
9 今彼らに命じて姦淫と、その王たちの死体を、わたしから遠く取り除かせよ。そうしたら、わたしは永久に彼らの中に住む。
Now let them put their loose ways and the dead bodies of their kings far from me, and I will be among them for ever.
10 人の子よ、宮と、その外形と、設計とをイスラエルの家に示せ。彼らはその悪を恥じるであろう。
You, son of man, give the children of Israel an account of this house, so that they may be shamed because of their evil-doing: and let them see the vision of it and its image.
11 彼らがその犯したすべての事を恥じたら、彼らに、この宮の建て方、設備、出口、入口、すべての形式、すべてのおきて、すべての規定を示せ。これを彼らの目の前に書き、彼らにそのすべての規定と、おきてとを守り行わせよ。
And they will be shamed by what they have done; so give them the knowledge of the form of the house and its structure, and the ways out of it and into it, and all its laws and its rules, writing it down for them: so that they may keep all its laws and do them.
12 宮の規定はこれである。山の頂の四方の地域はみな最も聖である。見よ、これは宮の規定である。
This is the law of the house: On the top of the mountain all the space round it on every side will be most holy. See, this is the law of the house.
13 祭壇の寸法はキュビトですれば、次のようである。（そのキュビトは一キュビトと一手幅である。）土台は高さ一キュビト、幅一キュビト、その周囲の縁は半キュビトである。
And these are the measures of the altar in cubits: (the cubit being a cubit and a hand's measure; ) its hollow base is a cubit high and a cubit wide, and it has an overhanging edge as wide as a hand-stretch all round it:
14 祭壇の高さは、次のとおりである。地面の土台から下のかさねまで二キュビト、幅は一キュビト、また小さいかさねから大きいかさねまで四キュビト、その幅は一キュビトである。
And from the base on the earth level to the lower shelf, the altar is two cubits high and a cubit wide; and from the smaller shelf to the greater shelf it is four cubits high and a cubit wide.
15 祭壇の炉は四キュビトで、祭壇の炉から高さ一キュビトの角が四本出ていた。
And the fireplace is four cubits high: and coming up from the fireplace are the horns, a cubit high.
16 炉は長さ十二キュビト、幅十二キュビトの四角形である。
And the fireplace is twelve cubits long and twelve cubits wide, square on its four sides.
17 そのかさねは四方とも長さ十四キュビト、幅十四キュビトの四角形、その周囲の縁は幅半キュビト、その台は四方一キュビト、その階段は東に面する」。
And the shelf is fourteen cubits long and fourteen cubits wide, on its four sides; the edge round it is half a cubit; the base of it is a cubit all round, and its steps are facing the east.
18 彼はわたしに言った、「人の子よ、主なる神はこう言われる、祭壇を建て、その上に燔祭をささげ、これに血を注ぐ日には、次のことを祭壇の定めとせよ。
And he said to me, Son of man, the Lord God has said, These are the rules for the altar, when they make it, for the offering of burned offerings on it and the draining out of the blood.
19 すなわち主なる神は言われる、ザドクの子孫で、わたしに近く仕えるレビびとである祭司には、罪祭のために雄牛の子を与えよ。
You are to give to the priests, the Levites of the seed of Zadok, who come near to me, says the Lord God, to do my work, a young ox for a sin-offering.
20 またその血をとって、これを祭壇の四つの角と、かさねの四すみと、周囲の縁に塗って、祭壇を清め、これをあがなえ。
You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns and on the four angles of the shelf and on the edge all round: and you are to make it clean and free from sin.
21 あなたはまた罪祭の牛をとって、これを聖所の外、宮のうちの定められた所で焼け。
And you are to take the ox of the sin-offering, and have it burned in the special place ordered for it in the house, outside the holy place.
22 第二日に、あなたは無傷の雄やぎを、罪祭としてささげよ。すなわち雄牛で清めたように、これで祭壇を清めよ。
And on the second day you are to have a he-goat without any mark on it offered for a sin-offering; and they are to make the altar clean as they did with the young ox.
23 清めごとを終えたなら、無傷の雄牛の子と、群れの中の無傷の雄羊とをささげよ。
And after you have made it clean, let a young ox without a mark be offered, and a male sheep from the flock without a mark.
24 これを主の前に持ってきて、祭司らはその上に塩をまき、これらを燔祭として主にささげよ。
And you are to take them before the Lord, and the priests will put salt on them, offering them up for a burned offering to the Lord.
25 七日の間、あなたは日々雄やぎを罪祭とせよ。また雄牛の子と、群れの中の雄羊との無傷のものをととのえ、
Every day for seven days you are to give a goat for a sin-offering: and let them give in addition a young ox and a male sheep from the flock without any mark on them.
26 七日の間、彼らは祭壇をあがない、これを清め、これを聖別しなければならない。
For seven days they are to make offerings to take away sin from the altar and to make it clean; so they are to make it holy.
27 彼らがこれらの日を満たしたとき、八日目から後は、祭司たちは、あなたがたの燔祭と、酬恩祭とを祭壇の上に供える。そうすれば、わたしは、あなたがたを受けいれると、主なる神は言われる」。
And when these days have come to an end, then on the eighth day and after, the priests will make your burned offerings on the altar and your peace-offerings; and I will take pleasure in you, says the Lord.
