エゼキエル書 22
1 ヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ
Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 人の子よ汝鞫かんとするや此血を流すところの邑を鞫かんとするや汝これにその諸の憎むべき事を示して
"You, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? Then cause her to know all her abominations.
3 言へ主ヱホバかく言ふ己の中に血を流してその罰せらるる時を來らせ己の中に偶像を作りてその身を汚すところの邑よ
You shall say, 'Thus says the LORD: "Woe to the city that sheds blood in the midst of her, so that her time may come, and that makes idols against herself to defile her.
4 汝はその流せる血によりて罪を得その作れる偶像をもて身を汚し汝の日を近づかせすでに汝の年にいたれり是故に我汝を國々の嘲とならしめ萬國の笑とならしむべし
You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed, and are defiled in your idols which you have made; and you have caused your days to draw near, and have come even to your years: therefore have I made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
5 汝に近き者も遠き者も汝が名の汚れたると混亂の多きとを笑はん
Those who are near, and those who are far from you, shall mock you, you infamous one and full of tumult.
6 視よイスラエルの君等各その力にしたがひて血を流さんと汝の中にをる
"'"Look, the princes of Israel, everyone according to his power, have been in you to shed blood.
7 彼ら汝の中にて父母を賤め汝の中にて他國の人を虐げ汝の中にて孤兒と寡婦を惱ますなり
In you have they set light by father and mother; in the midst of you have they dealt by oppression with the foreigner; in you have they wronged the fatherless and the widow.
8 汝わが聖き物を賤めわが安息日を汚す
You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
9 人を譖づる者血を流さんと汝の中にあり人汝の中にて山の上に食をなし汝の中にて邪淫をおこなひ
Slanderous men have been in you to shed blood; and in you they have eaten on the mountains: in the midst of you they have committed lewdness.
10 汝の中にてその父の妻に交り汝の中にて月經のさはりに穢れたる婦女を犯す
In you have they uncovered their fathers' nakedness; in you have they humbled her who was unclean in her impurity.
11 又汝の中にその鄰の妻と憎むべき事をおこなふものあり邪淫をおこなひてその嫁を犯すものありその父の女なる己の姊妹を犯すものあり
One has committed abomination with his neighbor's wife; and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law; and another in you has humbled his sister, his father's daughter.
12 人汝の中にて賄賂をうけて血を流すことをなすなり汝は利と息を取り汝の隣の物を掠め取り又我を忘る主ヱホバこれを言ふ
In you have they taken bribes to shed blood; you have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me,' says the LORD.
13 見よ我汝が掠めとる事をなし且血を汝の中に流すによりて我手を拍つ
"'"Look, therefore, I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at your blood which has been in the midst of you.
14 我が汝を攻る日には汝の心堅く立ち汝の手強くあることを得んや我ヱホバこれを言ひこれをなすなり
Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with you? I, the LORD, have spoken it, and will do it.
15 我汝を異邦の中に散し國々の中に播き全く汝の汚穢を取のぞくべし
I will scatter you among the nations, and disperse you through the countries; and I will consume your filthiness out of you.
16 汝は己の故によりて異邦人の目に汚れたる者と見えん而して汝我のヱホバなるを知べし
You shall be profaned in yourself, in the sight of the nations; and you shall know that I am the LORD."'"
17 ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ
The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
18 人の子よイスラエルの家は我に渣滓のごとくなれり彼等は凡て爐の中の銅錫鐵鉛のごとし彼らは銀の渣滓のごとく成れり
"Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me: all of them are bronze and tin and iron and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are the dross of silver.
19 此故に主ヱホバかく言ふ汝らは皆渣滓となりたれば視よ我なんぢらをヱルサレムの中に集む
Therefore thus says the LORD: 'Because you have all become dross, therefore, look, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
20 人の銀銅鐵鉛錫を爐の中に集め火を吹かけて鎔すが如く我怒と憤をもて汝らを集め入て鎔すべし
As they gather silver and bronze and iron and lead and tin into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it; so will I gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there, and melt you.
21 即ち我汝らを集め吾怒の火を汝らに吹かけん汝らはその中に鎔ん
Yes, I will gather you, and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in its midst.
22 銀の爐の中に鎔るがごとくに汝らはその中に鎔け我ヱホバが怒を汝らに斟ぎしを知にいたらん
As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so you will be melted in its midst; and you will know that I, the LORD, have poured out my wrath on you.'"
23 ヱホバの言われに臨みて言ふ
The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
24 人の子よ是に言ふべし汝は怒の日に日も照らず雨もふらざる地なり
"Son of man, tell her, 'You are a land that is not cleansed, nor rained on in the day of indignation,'
25 預言者等の徒黨その中にありその食を撕くところの吼ゆる獅子のごとくに彼らは靈魂を呑み財寶と貴き物を取り寡婦をその中に多くす
whose princes within her are like a roaring lion tearing its prey: they have devoured souls; they take treasure and precious things; they have made her widows many in its midst.
26 その祭司等はわが法を犯しわが聖き物を汚し聖きと聖からざるとの區別をなさず潔きと穢たるとの差別を敎へずその目を掩ひてわが安息日を顧みず我はかれらの中に汚さる
Her cohanim have done violence to my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hidden their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
27 その中にある公伯等は食を撕くところの豺狼のごとくにして血をながし靈魂を滅し物を掠めとらんとす
Her officials in its midst are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain.
28 その預言者等は灰砂をもて是等を塗り虛浮物を見僞の占卜を人になしヱホバの告あらざるに主ヱホバかく言たまふと言ふなり
Her prophets have plastered for them with whitewash, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, 'Thus says the LORD,' when the LORD has not spoken.
29 國の民は暴虐をおこなひ奪ふ事をなし難める者と貧き者を掠め道に反きて他國の人を虐ぐ
The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery; yes, they have troubled the poor and needy, and have oppressed the foreigner wrongfully.
30 我一箇の人の國のために石垣を築き我前にあたりてその破壞處に立ち我をして之を滅さしめざるべき者を彼等の中に尋れども得ざるなり
"And I searched for a man among them who would build up the wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found none.
31 主ヱホバいふ是故に我わが怒を彼らに斟ぎわが憤の火をもて彼らを滅し彼らの行爲をその首に報ゆ
Therefore have I poured out my indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I brought on their heads, says the LORD."
