エゼキエル書 12

1 ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて云ふ

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

2 人の子よ汝は背戻る家の中に居る彼等は見る目あれども見ず聞く耳あれども聞ず背戻る家なり

“Son of man, you live in the midst of a provoking house. They have eyes to see, and they do not see; and ears to hear, and they do not hear. For they are a provoking house.

3 然ば人の子よ移住の器具を備へかれらの目の前にて晝の中に移れ彼らの目の前にて汝の處より他の處に移るべし彼等は背戻る家なれども或は見て考ふることあらん

As for you, then, son of man, prepare for yourself the supplies for traveling far away, and travel away in the daytime in their sight. And you shall travel from your place to another place in their sight, so that perhaps they may consider it. For they are a provoking house.

4 汝移住の器具のごとき器具を彼等の目の前にて晝の中に持いだせ而して移住者の出ゆくがごとく彼等の目の前にて宵の中に出ゆくべし

And you shall carry your supplies outside, like the supplies of one who is traveling far away, in the daytime in their sight. Then you shall go forth in the evening in their presence, just as one goes forth who is moving far away.

5 即ちかれらの目の前にて壁をやぶりて之を其處より持いだせ

Dig for yourself through the wall, before their eyes. And you shall go out through it.

6 彼らの目の前にてこれを肩に負ひ黑暗の中にこれを持いだすべし汝の面を掩へ地を見るなかれ我汝を豫兆となしてイスラエルの家に示すなり

In their sight, you shall be carried on shoulders, you shall be carried in the dark. You shall cover your face, and you shall not see the ground. For I have appointed you as a portent for the house of Israel.”

7 我すなはち命ぜられしごとく爲し移住の器具のごとき器具を晝の中に持いだし又宵に手をもて壁をやぶり黑暗の中にこれを持いだし彼らの目の前にてこれを肩に負り

Therefore, I did just as he had instructed me. I brought out my supplies in the daytime, like the supplies of one who is moving far away. And in the evening, I dug myself through the wall by hand. And I went out in the dark, and I was carried on shoulders, in their sight.

8 明旦におよびてヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ

And the word of the Lord came to me, in the morning, saying:

9 人の子よ背戻る家なるイスラエルの家汝にむかひて汝なにを爲やと言しにあらずや

“Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the provoking house, said to you: ‘What are you doing?’

10 汝かれらに言ふべし主ヱホバかく言たまふこの負荷はヱルサレムの君主および彼等の中なるイスラエルの全家に當るなり

Say to them: Thus says the Lord God: This is the burden concerning my leader who is in Jerusalem, and concerning the entire house of Israel, who are in their midst.

11 汝また言ふべし我は汝等の豫兆なりわが爲るごとく彼等然なるべし彼等は擄へうつされん

Say: I am your portent. Just as I have done, so shall it be done to them. They will be taken captive and moved far away.

12 彼らの中の君主たる者黑暗のうちに物を肩に載て出ゆかん彼等壁をやぶりて其處より物を持いだすべし彼はその面を覆ひて土地を目に見ざらん

And the leader who is in their midst will be carried on shoulders; he will go forth in darkness. They will dig through the wall, so that they may lead him away. His face will be covered, so that he may not see the land with his eye.

13 我わが網を彼の上に打かけん彼はわが羅にかかるべし我かれをカルデヤ人の地に曳ゆきてバビロンにいたらしめん然れども彼はこれを見ずして其處に死べし

And I will extend my net over him, and he will be captured in my dragnet. And I will lead him to Babylon, into the land of the Chaldeans, but he himself will not see it. And there he shall die.

14 凡て彼の四周にありて彼を助くる者およびその軍兵は皆我これを四方に散し刀刃をぬきて其後をおふべし

And all who are around him, his guards and his companies, I will scatter into every wind. And I will unsheathe the sword after them.

15 吾がかれらを諸の民の中に散し國々に撒布さん時にいたりて彼らは我のヱホバなるをしるべし

And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have dispersed them among the Gentiles, and will have sowed them among the lands.

16 但し我かれらの中に僅少の人を遺して劍と饑饉と疫病を免れしめ彼らをしてそのおこなひし諸の憎むべき事をその到るところの民の中に述しめん彼等はわがヱホバなるを知るにいたらん

And I will leave behind a few men of them, apart from the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence, so that they may declare all their wicked deeds among the Gentiles, to whom they will go. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”

17 ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

18 人の子よ汝發震て食物を食ひ戰慄と恐懼をもて水を飮め

“Son of man, eat your bread in consternation. Moreover, drink your water hurriedly and in sorrow.

19 而してこの地の民に言べし主ヱホバ、ヱルサレムの民のイスラエルにをる者に斯いひたまふ彼等は懼れて食物を食ひ驚きて水を飮にいたるべし是はその地凡てその中に住る者の暴逆のために富饒をうしなひて荒地となるが故なり

And say to the people of the land: Thus says the Lord God, to those who are living in Jerusalem, in the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread in anxiety, and drink their water in desolation, so that the land may be desolate before its multitude, because of the iniquity of all who are living in it.

20 人の住る邑々は荒はて國は滅亡ぶべし汝等すなはち我がヱホバなるを知ん

And cities that are now inhabited will become desolate, and the land will be forsaken. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”

21 ヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

22 人の子よイスラエルの國の中に汝等いふ日は延び默示はみな空しくなれりと是何の言ぞや

“Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel? saying: ‘The days shall be extended in length, and every vision shall perish.’

23 是故に汝彼等に言べし主ヱホバかくいひ給ふ我この言を止め彼等をして再びこれをイスラエルの中に言ことなからしめん即ち汝かれらに言へ其日とその諸の默示の言は近づけりと

Therefore, say to them: Thus says the Lord God: I will cause this proverb to cease, and it shall no longer be a common saying in Israel. And tell them that the days are approaching, and the word of every vision.

24 イスラエルの家には此後重ねて空浮き默示と虛僞の占卜あらざるべし

For there shall no longer be any empty visions, nor any ambiguous divination in the midst of the sons of Israel.

25 夫我はヱホバなり我わが言をいださん吾いふところは必ず成んかさねて延ることあらじ背戻る家よ汝等が世にある日に我言を發して之を成すべし主ヱホバこれを言ふ

For I, the Lord, will speak. And whatever word I will speak, it shall be done, and it shall not be delayed any more. Instead, in your days, O provoking house, I will speak a word and do it, says the Lord God.”

26 ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

27 人の子よ視よイスラエルの家言ふ彼が見たる默示は許多の日の後の事にして彼は遙後の事を預言するのみと

“Son of man, behold the house of Israel, those who are saying: ‘The visions that this one sees is many days away,’ and, ‘This man prophesies about times that are far away.’

28 是故にかれらに言ふべし主ヱホバかくいひたまふ我言はみな重ねて延ず吾がいへる言は成べしと主ヱホバこれを言ふなり

Because of this, say to them: Thus says the Lord God: No word of mine will be delayed any longer. The word that I will speak will be fulfilled, says the Lord God.”
