< Ezekiel 35 >

1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
爰にヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ
2 “You human, turn toward Edom and prophesy what will happen to its people. Say that this is what Yahweh says to them:
人の子よ汝の面をセイル山にむけ之にむかひて預言し
3 ‘You who live near Seir Mountain [in Edom], I am opposed to you, and I will use my power [MTY] to strike you and cause your country to become a wasteland.
之にいふべし主ヱホバかく言ふセイル山よ視よ我汝を罰し汝にむかひてわが手を伸べ汝を全く荒し
4 I will cause your country to be ruined and desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
汝の邑々を滅すべし汝は荒はてん而して我のヱホバなるを知にいたらん
5 You have always been enemies of the Israeli people. You [rejoiced] when they experienced a great disaster: [their enemies attacked them with] swords, when I punished them [for the sins that they had committed].
汝果しなき恨を懷きてイスラエルの人々をその艱難の時その終の罪の時に劍の手に付せり
6 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will allow [your enemies] to slaughter [MTY] you and continue to slaughter you. You were happy when [LIT] others were slaughtered;
是故に主ヱホバ言ふ我は活く我汝を血になさん血汝を追べし汝血を嫌はざれば血汝を追ん
7 so I will cause Seir Mountain to be abandoned/deserted, and I will get rid of anyone who enters it or leaves it.
我セイル山を全く荒し其處に往來する者を絕ち
8 I will cause your mountains to be filled with [the corpses of] those who have been killed. The corpses of those who have been killed by [your enemies’] swords will lie on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines.
殺されし者をその山々に滿すべし劍に殺されし者汝の岡々谷々および窪地窪地に仆れん
9 I will cause your land to be deserted forever. No one will live in your towns again. When that happens, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
我汝を長に荒地となさん汝の邑々には人の住むことあらじ汝等すなはち我のヱホバなるを知にいたらん
10 You people said, “Israel and Judah will become ours. We will take over their territory!” You said that even though I, Yahweh, was still there [and protecting them].
汝言ふこの二箇の民二箇の國は我が所有なり我等これを獲んとヱホバ其處に居せしなり
11 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will punish [MTY] you for being angry with my people, envying them, and hating them.
是故に主ヱホバいふ我は活く汝が恨をもて彼らに示したる忿怒と嫉惡に循ひて我汝に事をなさん我汝を鞫くことを以て我を彼等に示すべし
12 Then you will know that I, Yahweh, have heard all the disgusting things that you have said about the mountains in Israel. You said that they have been ruined/devastated, and that they have been given to you to occupy [MET].
汝は我ヱホバの汝がイスラエルの山々にむかひて是は荒はて我儕の食に授かるといひて吐たるところの諸の謗讟を聞たることを知にいたらん
13 When you insulted me, I heard all that you said about me.
汝等口をもて我にむかひて誇り我にむかひて汝等の言を多くせり我これを聞く
14 So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: You people who live on Seir Mountain and in all the other places in Edom, when I cause your land to become desolate, everyone in the entire world will rejoice.
主ヱホバ斯いひたまふ全地の歡ぶ時に我汝を荒地となさん
15 You were happy when the land [MTY] of the Israeli people became desolate, so I will cause your land to become desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
汝イスラエルの家の產業の荒るを喜びたれば我汝をも然なすべしセイル山よ汝荒地とならんエドムも都て然るべし人衆すなはち我のヱホバなるを知にいたらん
