< Ezekiel 38 >

1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
ヱホバの言我にのぞみて言ふ
2 “You human, turn and face Magog, the country where Gog [is the king]. He is [also] the ruler of [the nations of] Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy about [the terrible things that will happen to] him,
人の子よロシ、メセクおよびトバルの君たるマゴグの地の王ゴグに汝の面をむけ之にむかひて預言し
3 and say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Gog, you who rule Meshech and Tubal, I am opposed to you.
言べし主ヱホバかく言たまふロシ、メセク、トバルの君ゴグよ視よ我なんぢを罰せん
4 [It will be as though] I will turn you around and put hooks in your jaws and bring you [to Israel]—you and all of your army, [including your] horses and men carrying weapons who ride the horses, and many other soldiers carrying large shields and small shields, all of them carrying swords.
我汝をひきもどし汝の腮に鉤をほどこして汝および汝の諸の軍勢と馬とその騎者を曳いだすべし是みな其服粧に美を極め大楯小楯をもち凡て劍を執る者にして大軍なり
5 [Armies from] Persia, Ethiopia, and Put/Libya will also come, all of them with shields and helmets.
ペルシヤ、エテオピアおよびフテこれとともにあり皆楯と盔をもつ
6 An army from Gomer [north of Israel] will come, and an army from Togarmah far north [of Israel] will come. Armies of many nations will accompany you.’
ゴメルとその諸の軍隊北の極のトガルマの族とその諸の軍隊など衆多の民汝とともにあり
7 [Tell Gog, ] ‘Get ready and be prepared to be the commander of all those groups of soldiers.
汝準備をなせ汝と汝にあつまれるところの軍隊みな備をせよ而して汝かれらの保護となれ
8 At some future time, I will command you to lead those armies to attack [Israel], a country whose [buildings] have been rebuilt after [they were destroyed in] wars. Their people will have been brought back from many nations [to live again] on the hills of Israel, which had been deserted for a long time. They had been brought back from [other] nations and will be living peacefully.
衆多の日の後なんぢ罰せられん末の年に汝かの劍をのがれてかへり衆多の民の中より集りきたれる者の地にいたり久しく荒ゐたるイスラエルの山々にいたらん是は國々より導きいだされて皆安然に住ふなり
9 You and all those armies from many nations will go up to Israel, advancing like [SIM] a big storm. Your army will be like a huge cloud that covers the land.
汝その諸の軍隊および衆多の民をひきゐて上り暴風のごとく至り雲のごとく地を覆はん
10 But this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: On that day, you will have an idea about [DOU] doing an evil thing.
主ヱホバかくいひたまふ其日に汝の心に思想おこり惡き謀計をくはだてて
11 You will say [to yourself], “My [army] will invade a country where the villages do not have walls around them. We will attack people who are peaceful and do not suspect/think [that they will be attacked]. Their towns and villages do not have walls with gates and bars.
言ん我平原の邑々にのぼり穩にして安然に住る者等にいたらん是みな石垣なくして居り關も門もあらざる者なりと
12 So [it will be easy for] us to attack the people who are living again in those towns that were previously destroyed. They are people who have been gathered from many countries [where they had lived for many years], people who now live safely in their land with all their livestock and other possessions. They are living in the country that is in the middle of the most important countries (OR, [that they think is] [IRO] the most important country) in the world. Our soldiers will take away [DOU] all their valuable possessions.”
斯して汝物を奪ひ物を掠め汝の手をかへして彼の人の住むにいたれる墟址を攻め又かの國々より集りきたりて地の墺區にすみて群と財寶をもつところの民をせめんとす
13 [Then people of] Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and nearby villages will come and say to you, “Are you gathering all your soldiers in order to [attack Israel and] take away all their silver and gold? [Do you plan] to take away their livestock and all their other valuable possessions [DOU]?”’
シバ、デダン、タルシシの商賈およびその諸の小獅子汝に言ん汝物を奪はんとて來れるや汝物を掠めんために軍隊をあつめしや金銀をもちさり群と財寶を取り多くの物を奪はんとするやと
14 Therefore, you human, prophesy about Gog and say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: At that time, when my people of Israel are living safely, you will certainly think about that.
是故に人の子よ汝預言してゴグに言へ主ヱホバかくいひたまふ其日に汝わが民イスラエルの安然に住むを知ざらんや
15 So you will come from your place far north [of Israel], with the armies of many [other] nations, all riding horses, a huge army.
汝すなはち北の極なる汝の處より來らん衆多の民汝とともにあり皆馬に乗る其軍隊は大にしてその軍勢は夥多し
16 You will march toward my Israeli people, and [your soldiers] will cover the land like a huge cloud. Gog, I will bring your army to attack the country that belongs to me, but [what I do] for you will show the people of other nations that I am holy.
而して汝わが民イスラエルに攻きたり雲のごとくに地を覆はんゴグよ末の日にこの事あらんすなはち我汝をわが地に攻きたらしめ汝をもて我の聖き事を國々の民の目のまへにあらはして彼らに我をしらしむべし
17 This is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say to Gog: In past years, when I gave messages to my servants, the prophets [in Israel], there were messages [RHQ] about you. At that time, they prophesied for [many] years that I would bring your [armies] to attack my people.
主ヱホバかく言たまふ我の昔日わが僕なるイスラエルの預言者等をもて語りし者は汝ならずや即ち彼ら其頃年ひさしく預言して我汝を彼らに攻きたらしめんと言り
18 [So] this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say will happen: When your [army] attacks Israel, I will be very angry with you.
主ヱホバいひたまふ其日すなはちゴグがイスラエルの地に攻來らん日にわが怒面にあらはるべし
19 I will be very furious, and to show that I am angry, there will be a great earthquake in Israel, [where your armies will be].
我嫉妬と燃たつ怒をもて言ふ其日には必ずイスラエルの地に大なる震動あらん
20 The fish in the sea, the birds, the wild animals, and the animals/creatures that crawl on the ground, and all the people on the earth will tremble because of what I [am doing]. Mountains will fall down, cliffs will crumble, and walls everywhere will fall to the ground.
海の魚空の鳥野の獣凡て地に匍ふところの昆蟲凡て地にある人わが前に震へん又山々崩れ嶄巌たふれ石垣みな地に仆れん
21 Gog, on all the mountains in the country that belongs to me I will cause your soldiers to fight against each other with their swords.
主ヱホバいひたまふ我劍をわが諸の山に召きたりて彼をせめしめん人々の劍その兄弟を撃べし
22 I will punish [MTY] you [and your soldiers] with plagues and murders [MTY]. And I will send down [from the sky], on you and your troops that have come from many nations, huge amounts of rain and hail and burning sulfur.
我疫病と血をもて彼の罪をたださん我漲ぎる雨と雹と火と硫磺を彼とその軍勢および彼とともなる多の民の上に降すべし
23 By doing that, I will cause [the people of] many nations to know that I am very great and holy, and they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do the things that I say that I will do].’”
而して我わが大なることと聖きことを明かにし衆多の國民の目のまへに我を示さん彼らはすなはち我のヱホバなることをしるべし
