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
He said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house 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
So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the 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
He said to me, “Son of man, eat this scroll that I give you and fill your belly and your bowels with it.” Then I ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
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
He said to me, “Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and 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 are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard 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
not to many peoples of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words you can’t understand. Surely, if I sent you 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
But the house of Israel will not listen to you, for they will not listen to me; for all the house of Israel are obstinate and hard-hearted.
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 hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against 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 forehead as a diamond, harder than flint. Don’t be afraid of them, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious 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
Moreover he said to me, “Son of man, receive in your heart and hear with your ears all my words that I speak 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
Go to them of the captivity, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says,’ whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse.”
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
Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, saying, “Blessed be the LORD’s glory 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
I heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing.
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
So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; and the LORD’s hand was strong on 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
Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel Aviv who lived by the river Chebar, and to where they lived; and I sat there overwhelmed amongst them seven days.
16 七日すぎし後ヱホバの言われにのぞみて言ふ
At the end of seven days, the LORD’s word 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 to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and warn 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
When I tell the wicked, ‘You will surely die;’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that wicked man will die in his iniquity; but I will require his blood at 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
Yet if you warn the wicked, and he doesn’t turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he will die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your 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
“Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he will die. Because you have not given him warning, he will die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered; but I will require his blood at 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
Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous not sin, and he does not sin, he will surely live, because he took warning; and you have delivered your 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
The LORD’s hand was there on me; and he said to me, “Arise, go out into the plain, and I will talk with you there.”
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
Then I arose, and went out into the plain, and behold, the LORD’s glory stood there, like the glory which I saw by the river Chebar. Then I fell on 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
Then the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet. He spoke with me, and said to me, “Go, shut yourself inside 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
But you, son of man, behold, they will put ropes on you, and will bind you with them, and you will not go out amongst them.
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
I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be mute and will not be able to correct them, for they are a rebellious 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 speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’ He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.”
