エゼキエル書 3

1 彼また我に言たまひけるは人の子よ汝獲るところの者を食へ此卷物を食ひ往てイスラエルの家に告よ

And he said to me: “Son of man, eat whatever you will find; eat this scroll, and, going forth, speak to the sons of Israel.”

2 是に於て我口をひらけばその卷物を我に食はしめて

And I opened my mouth, and he fed me that scroll.

3 我にいひ給ひけるは人の子よわが汝にあたふる此卷物をもて腹をやしなへ膓にみたせよと我すなはち之をくらふに其わが口に甘きこと蜜のごとくなりき

And he said to me: “Son of man, your stomach shall eat, and your interior shall be filled with this scroll, which I am giving to you.” And I ate it, and in my mouth it became as sweet as honey.

4 彼また我にいひたまひけるは人の子よイスラエルの家にゆきて吾言を之につげよ

And he said to me: “Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and you shall speak my words to them.

5 我なんぢを唇の深き舌の重き民につかはすにあらずイスラエルの家につかはすなり

For you will be sent, not to a people of profound words or of an unknown language, but to the house of Israel,

6 汝がその言語をしらざる唇の深き舌の重き多くの國人に汝をつかはすにあらず我もし汝を彼らに遣さば彼等汝に聽べし

and not to many peoples of profound words or of an unknown language, whose words you would not be able to understand. But if you were sent to them, they would listen to you.

7 然どイスラエルの家は我に聽ことを好まざれば汝に聽ことをせざるべしイスラエルの全家は厚顏にして心の剛愎なる者なればなり

Yet the house of Israel is not willing to listen to you. For they are not willing to listen to me. Certainly, the entire house of Israel has a brazen forehead and a hardened heart.

8 視よ我かれらの面のごとく汝の面をかたくしかれらの額のごとく汝の額を堅くせり

Behold, I have made your face stronger than their faces, and your forehead harder than their foreheads.

9 我なんぢの額を金剛石のごとくし磐よりも堅くせり彼らは背逆る族なり汝かれらを懼るるなかれ彼らの面に戰慄くなかれ

I have made your face like hardened iron and like flint. You should not fear them, and you should not have dread before their face. For they are a provoking house.”

10 又われに言たまひけるは人の子よわが汝にいふところの凡の言を汝の心にをさめ汝の耳にきけよ

And he said to me: “Son of man, listen with your ears, and take into your heart, all my words, which I am speaking to you.

11 往てかの擄へ移されたる汝の民の子孫にいたりこれに語りて主ヱホバかく言たまふと言へ彼ら聽も拒むも汝然すべし

And go forth and enter to those of the transmigration, to the sons of your people. And you shall speak to them. And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ Perhaps it may be that they will listen and be quieted.”

12 時に靈われを上に擧しが我わが後に大なる響の音ありてヱホバの榮光のその處より出る者は讚べきかなと云ふを聞けり

And the Spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great commotion, saying, “Blessed is the glory of the Lord from his place,”

13 また生物の互にあひ連る翼の聲とその傍にある輪の聲および大なる響の音を聞く

and the voice of the wings of the living creatures striking against one another, and the voice of the wheels following the living creatures, and the voice of a great commotion.

14 靈われを上にあげて携へゆけば我苦々しく思ひ心を熱くして往くヱホバの手強くわが上にあり

Then the Spirit lifted me and took me away. And I went forth in bitterness, with the indignation of my spirit. For the hand of the Lord was with me, strengthening me.

15 爰に我ケバル河の邊にてテラアビブに居るかの擄移れたる者に至り驚きあきれてその坐する所に七日俱に坐せり

And I went to those of the transmigration, to the stockpile of new crops, to those who were living beside the river Chebar. And I sat where they were sitting. And I remained there for seven days, while mourning in their midst.

16 七日すぎし後ヱホバの言われにのぞみて言ふ

Then, when seven days had passed, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

17 人の子よ我なんぢを立てイスラエルの家の爲に守望者となす汝わが口より言を聽き我にかはりてこれを警むべし

“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. And so, you shall listen to the word from my mouth, and you shall announce it to them from me.

18 我惡人に汝かならず死べしと言んに汝かれを警めず彼をいましめ語りその惡き道を離れしめて之が生命を救はずばその惡人はおのが惡のために死んされど其血をば我汝の手に要むべし

If, when I say to the impious man, ‘You shall certainly die,’ you do not announce it to him, and you do not speak so that he may turn aside from his impious way and live, then the same impious man will die in his iniquity. But I will attribute his blood to your hand.

19 然ど汝惡人を警めんに彼その惡とその惡き道を離れずば彼はその惡の爲に死ん汝はおのれの靈魂を救ふなり

But if you announce it to the impious man, and he is not converted from his impiety and from his impious way, then indeed he will die in his iniquity. But you will have delivered your own soul.

20 又義人その義事をすてて惡を行はんに我躓礙をその前におかば彼は死べし汝かれを警めざれば彼はその罪のために死てそのおこなひし義き事を記ゆる者なきにいたらん然ば我その血を汝の手に要むべし

Moreover, if the just man turns aside from his justice and commits iniquity, I will place a stumbling block before him. He shall die, because you have not announced to him. He shall die in his sin, and his justices that he did shall not be remembered. Yet truly, I will attribute his blood to your hand.

21 然ど汝もし義き人をいましめ義き人に罪ををかさしめずして彼罪を犯すことをせずば彼は警戒をうけたるがためにかならずその生命をたもたん汝はおのれの靈魂を救ふなり

But if you announce to the just man, so that the just man may not sin, and he does not sin, then he shall certainly live, because you have announced to him. And you will have delivered your own soul.”

22 茲にヱホバの手かしこにてわが上にあり彼われに言たまひけるは起て平原にいでよ我そこにて汝にかたらん

And the hand of the Lord was over me. And he said to me: “Rise up, and go out to the plain, and there I will speak with you.”

23 我すなはち起て平原に往にヱホバの榮光わがケバル河の邊にて見し榮光のごとく其處に立ければ俯伏たり

And I rose up, and I went out to the plain. And behold, the glory of the Lord was standing there, like the glory that I saw beside the river Chebar. And I fell upon my face.

24 時に靈われの中にいりて我を立あがらせ我にかたりていふ往て汝の家にこもれ

And the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet. And he spoke to me, and he said to me: “Enter and enclose yourself in the midst of your house.

25 人の子よ彼等汝に繩をうちかけ其をもて汝を縛らん汝はかれらの中に出ゆくことを得ざるべし

And as for you, son of man, behold: they shall put chains upon you and bind you with them. And you shall not go out from their midst.

26 我なんぢの舌を上咢に堅く着しめて汝を啞となし彼等を警めざらしむべし彼等は悖逆る族なればなり

And I will cause your tongue to adhere to the roof of your mouth. And you will be mute, not like a man who reproaches. For they are a provoking house.

27 然ど我汝に語る時は汝の口をひらかん汝彼らにいふべし主ヱホバかく言たまふ聽者は聽べし拒む者は拒むべし彼等は悖逆る族なり

But when I will speak to you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ Whoever is listening, let him hear. And whoever is quieted, let him be quieted. For they are a provoking house.”
