エゼキエル書 29
1 十年の十月の十二日にヱホバの言我にのぞみて言ふ
In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 人の子よ汝の面をエジプトの王パロにむけ彼とエジプト全國にむかひて預言し
“Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.
3 語りて言べし主ヱホバかく言たまふエジプトの王パロよ視よ我汝の敵となる汝その河に臥すところの鱷よ汝いふ河は我の所有なり我自己のためにこれを造れりと
Speak and say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster that lies in the middle of his rivers, that has said, ‘My river is my own, and I have made it for myself.’
4 我鉤を汝の腮に鉤け汝の河の魚をして汝の鱗に附しめ汝および汝の鱗に附る諸の魚を汝の河より曳いだし
I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will make the fish of your rivers stick to your scales. I will bring you up out of the middle of your rivers, with all the fish of your rivers which stick to your scales.
5 汝と汝の河の諸の魚を曠野に投すてん汝は野の面に仆れん汝を取あぐる者なく集むる者なかるべし我汝を地の獸と天の鳥の餌に與へん
I’ll cast you out into the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers. You’ll fall on the open field. You won’t be brought together or gathered. I have given you for food to the animals of the earth and to the birds of the sky.
6 エジプトの人々皆我のヱホバなるを知ん彼等のイスラエルの家におけるは葦の杖のごとくなりき
“‘“All the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
7 イスラエル汝の手を執ば汝折れてその肩を盡く裂き又汝に倚ば汝破れてその腰を盡く振へしむ
When they took hold of you by your hand, you broke and tore all their shoulders. When they leaned on you, you broke and paralysed all of their thighs.”
8 是故に主ヱホバかく言ふ視よ我劍を汝に持きたり人と畜を汝の中より絕ん
“‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Behold, I will bring a sword on you, and will cut off man and animal from you.
9 エジプトの地は荒て空曠なるべし彼らすなはち我のヱホバなるを知ん彼河は我の有なり我これを作れりと言ふ
The land of Egypt will be a desolation and a waste. Then they will know that I am the LORD. “‘“Because he has said, ‘The river is mine, and I have made it,’
10 是故に我汝と汝の河々を罰しエジプトの地をミグドルよりスエネに至りエテオピアの境に至るまで盡く荒して空曠くせん
therefore, behold, I am against you and against your rivers. I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from the tower of Seveneh even to the border of Ethiopia.
11 人の足此を渉らず獸の足此を渉らじ四十年の間此に人の住ことなかるべし
No foot of man will pass through it, nor will any animal foot pass through it. It won’t be inhabited for forty years.
12 我エジプトの地を荒して荒たる國々の中にあらしめんその邑々は荒て四十年の間荒たる邑々の中にあるべし我エジプト人を諸の民の中に散し諸の國に散さん
I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the middle of the countries that are desolate. Her cities amongst the cities that are laid waste will be a desolation forty years. I will scatter the Egyptians amongst the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.”
13 但し主ヱホバかく言たまふ四十年の後我エジプト人をその散されたる諸の民の中より集めん
“‘For the Lord GOD says: “At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples where they were scattered.
14 即ちエジプトの俘囚人を歸しその生れし國なるバテロスの地にかへらしむべし彼らは其處に卑き國を成ん
I will reverse the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their birth. There they will be a lowly kingdom.
15 是は諸の國よりも卑くして再び國々の上にいづることなかるべし我かれらを小くすれば彼らは重て國々を治むることなし
It will be the lowest of the kingdoms. It won’t lift itself up above the nations any more. I will diminish them so that they will no longer rule over the nations.
16 彼らは再びイスラエルの家の恃とならじイスラエルはこれに心をよせてその罪をおもひ出さしむることなかるべし彼らすなはち我の主ヱホバなるを知ん
It will no longer be the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing iniquity to memory, when they turn to look after them. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.”’”
17 茲に二十七年の一月の一日にヱホバの言我にのぞみて言ふ
It came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
18 人の子よバビロンの王ネブカデネザルその軍勢をしてツロにむかひて大に働かしむ皆首禿げ皆肩破る然るに彼もその軍勢もその爲るところの事業のためにツロよりその報を得ず
“Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre. Every head was made bald, and every shoulder was worn; yet he had no wages, nor did his army, from Tyre, for the service that he had served against it.
19 是故に主ヱホバかくいふ視よ我バビロンの王ネブカデネザルにエジプトの地を與へん彼その衆多の財寳を取り物を掠め物を奪はん是その軍勢の報たらん
Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. He will carry off her multitude, take her plunder, and take her prey. That will be the wages for his army.
20 彼の勞動る値として我エジプトの地をかれに與ふ彼わがために之をなしたればなり主ヱホバこれを言ふ
I have given him the land of Egypt as his payment for which he served, because they worked for me,’ says the Lord GOD.
21 當日に我イスラエルの家に一の角を生ぜしめ汝をして彼らの中に口を啓くことを得せしめん彼等すなはち我がヱホバなるを知べし
“In that day I will cause a horn to sprout for the house of Israel, and I will open your mouth amongst them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
