Ezekiel 30

1 Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]

ヱホバの言我にのぞみて言ふ

2 “You human, prophesy [about what will happen to Egypt]. Say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “Weep and wail [DOU], because terrible things will happen some day.

人の子よ預言して言へ主ヱホバかく言たまふ汝ら叫べ其日は禍なるかな

3 That day is near, the day when I, Yahweh, [will punish people]; it will be a day of [dark] clouds and disaster for [many] nations.

その日近しヱホバの日近し是雲の日これ異邦人の時なり

4 [An enemy army] [PRS] will come to attack Egypt with their swords, and there will be great distress [among the people] in Ethiopia. [Many] people will be killed in Egypt; everything valuable will be taken away, and [even] the foundations [of the buildings] will be torn down.

劍エジプトに臨まん殺さるる者のエジプトに仆るる時エテオピアに痛苦あるべし敵その財寶を奪はんその基址は毀たるべし

5 [Soldiers of] Ethiopia, Libya, Lydia, and from all of Arabia, and [all the other] groups who are their allies, will be killed in the battles.”

エテオピア人フテ人ルデ人凡て加勢の兵およびクブ人ならびに同盟の國の人々彼らとともに劍にたふれん

6 This is what [I], Yahweh say: “The allies of Egypt will be defeated, and the power that [the people of Egypt] are proud of will end. From Migdol [city in the north] to Aswan [city in the south], the soldiers of Egypt will be killed by their enemies’ swords”; [that is what I], Yahweh the Lord, declare.

ヱホバかく言ふエジプトを扶くる者は仆れ其驕るところの勢力は失せんミグドルよりスエネにいたるまで人劍によりて己の中に仆るべし主ヱホバこれを言なり

7 Egypt will become the most deserted country in the world, and its cities will be ruined, surrounded by ruined cities [in nearby nations].

其は荒て荒地の中にあり其邑々は荒たる邑の中にあるべし

8 Then, when I cause [everything in] Egypt to be burned in fires, and all their allies are defeated, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].

我火をエジプトに降さん時又是を助くる者の皆ほろびん時は彼等我のヱホバなるを知ん

9 At that time, I will send messengers to go [swiftly up the Nile River] in boats to cause the people of Ethiopia who (are complacent/confident/think that nothing terrible will happen to them) to become afraid. They will be terrified [PRS] when Egypt is destroyed; and it will soon be that time!”

その日には使者船にて我より出てかの心強きエテオピア人を懼れしめんエジプトの日にありし如く彼等の中に苦痛あるべし視よ是は至る

10 This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “By the power of [MTY] of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon I will get rid of very many people in Egypt.

主ヱホバかく言たまふ我バビロンの王ネブカデネザルをもてエジプトの喧噪を止むべし

11 Nebuchadnezzar and his army, whose soldiers are extremely ruthless, will come to destroy Egypt. They will pull out their swords and fill Egypt with [the corpses of] those whom they have killed.

彼および彼にしたがふ民即ち國民の中の暴き者を召來りてその國を滅さん彼ら劍をぬきてエジプトを攻めその殺せる者を國に滿すべし

12 I will cause the Nile [River] to become dry, and I will sell the nation to evil men. By the power [MTY] of foreigners I will ruin the land and everything that is in it. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have predicted it.”

我その河々を涸し國を惡き人の手に賣り外國人の手をもて國とその中の物を荒すべし我ヱホバこれを言り

13 This is [also] what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: “I will cause the idols and statues [of idols] [DOU] in Memphis [city] to be destroyed. No longer will there be a king in Egypt, and all over the land, people will be terrified. I will cause [the people of] Egypt to be very afraid.

主ヱホバかく言たまふ我偶像を毀ち神々をノフに絕さんエジプトの國よりは再び君のいづることなかるべし我エジプトの國に畏怖を蒙らしめん

14 I will cause the Pathros [area in southern Egypt] to be abandoned. I will start fires in Zoan [city in northeast Egypt] and punish [the people in] Thebes, [the capital of southern Egypt].

我バテロスを荒しゾアンに火を擧げノに鞫を行ひ

15 I will pour out my punishment [MTY] on [the fortress in] Pelusium [at the eastern end of Egypt], and I will get rid of very many people in Thebes.

わが怒をエジプトの要害なるシンに洩しノの群衆を絕つべし

16 I will burn Egypt by fires; [the people in] Pelusium will suffer severe pain. [Enemies] will conquer Thebes, and [the people in] Memphis will constantly be terrified.

我火をエジプトに降さんシンは苦痛に悶えノは打破られノフは日中敵をうけん

17 [Many] young men in Heliopolis and Bubastis [cities in northern Egypt] will be killed by [their enemies] swords, and the others [from those cities] will be captured and taken [to Babylon].

アベンとピベセテの少者は劍に仆れ其中の人々は擄ゆかれん

18 It will be a dark day [of destruction] at Tahpenes [city in northeast Egypt] when I cause the power [MET] of Egypt to end; that country will no longer be proud of being strong. [It will be as though] a dark cloud will cover Egypt, because the people of its villages will be captured and forced to go [to Babylon].”

テバネスに於ては吾がエジプトの軛を其處に摧く時に日暗くならんその誇るところの勢力は失せん雲これを覆はんその女子等は擄へゆかれん

19 That is how I will punish Egypt, and people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”

かく我エジプトに鞫をおこなはん彼等すなはち我のヱホバなるを知べし

20 Almost eleven years [after we had been taken to Babylon], on the seventh day of the first month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]

十一年の一月の七日にヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ

21 “You human, I [have enabled the army of Nebuchadnezzar to defeat the army of] the King of Egypt. [It is as though] I have broken one of the arms of the King of Egypt, and it has not been bandaged in order that it could be healed, and it has not been put in splints in order that [after it heals] the arm will be strong [enough] to hold a sword.

人の子よ我エジプトの王パロの腕を折れり是は再び束へて藥を施し裹布を卷て之を裹み強く爲して劍を執にたへしむること能はざるなり

22 Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘I am the enemy of the King of Egypt. [I will completely destroy the power of Egypt; it is as though] now I will break both of the king’s arms, the good/strong one and the broken one, and cause the sword to fall from his hand.

是故に主ヱホバかく言たまふ視よ我エジプトの王パロを罰し其強き腕と折たる腕とを俱に折り劍をその手より落しむべし

23 I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered among the nations [DOU].

我エジプト人を諸の民の中に散し諸の國に散さん

24 [It is as though] I will strengthen the arms of the King of Babylon and put a sword in his hand, and [as though] I will break the arms of the king of Egypt, and he will groan in front of the King of Babylon like [SIM] a soldier who is wounded and about to die.

而してバビロンの王の腕を強くして我劍をこれに授けん然ど我パロの腕を折れば彼は刺透されたる者の呻くが如くにその前に呻かん

25 I will cause the power [MTY] of the King of Babylon to become greater, and the power of the king of Egypt will be useless [MET]. When that happens, when I give power to the army of the King of Babylon, they will use that power to attack Egypt.

我バビロンの王の腕を強くせんパロの腕は弱くならん我わが劍をバビロンの王の手に授けて彼をしてエジプトにむかひて之を伸しむる時は人衆我のヱホバなるを知ん

26 I will cause the people of Egypt to be scattered among the nations [DOU]. And when that happens, the people [of Egypt] will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do] [DOU].’”

我エジプト人を諸の民の中に散し諸の國に散さん彼らすなはち我のヱホバなるを知るべし
