エゼキエル書 7

1 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:

2 汝人の子よ主ヱホバかくいふイスラエルの地の末期いたる此國の四方の境の末期來れり

“And as for you, son of man: Thus says the Lord God to the land of Israel: The end is coming, the end is coming, over the four regions of the earth.

3 今汝の末期いたる我わが忿怒を汝に洩らし汝の行にしたがひて汝を鞫き汝の諸の憎むべき物のために汝を罰せん

Now the end is over you, and I will send my fury upon you. And I will judge you according to your ways. And I will place all your abominations before you.

4 わが目は汝を惜み見ず我なんぢを憫まず汝の行の爲に汝を罰せん汝のなせし憎むべき事の報汝の中にあるべし是によりて汝等はわがヱホバなるを知らん

And my eye will not be lenient over you, and I will not take pity. Instead, I will set your ways upon you, and your abominations will be in your midst. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”

5 主ヱホバかくいひ給ふ視よ災禍あり非常災禍きたる

Thus says the Lord God: “One affliction, behold, one affliction is approaching.

6 末期きたる其末期きたる是起りて汝に臨む視よ來る

The end is coming, the end is coming. It has been vigilant against you. Behold, it is approaching.

7 此地の人よ汝の命數いたる時いたる日ちかし山々には擾亂のみありて喜樂の聲なし

Destruction is coming over you, who live upon the earth. The time is approaching, the day of slaughter is near, and it is not of the glory of the mountains.

8 今我すみやかに吾憤恨を汝に蒙らせわが怒氣を汝に洩しつくし汝の行爲にしたがひて汝を鞫き汝の諸の憎むべきところの事のために汝を罰せん

Now, very soon, I will pour out my wrath upon you, and I will fulfill my fury in you. And I will judge you according to your ways, and I will set upon you all your crimes.

9 わが目は汝を惜み見ず我汝をあはれまず汝の行のために汝を罰せん汝の爲し憎むべき事の果報汝の中にあるべし是によりて汝等は我ヱホバの汝を撃なるを知ん

And my eye will not be lenient, nor will I take pity. Instead, I will place your ways upon you, and your abominations will be in your midst. And you shall know that I am the Lord, who is striking.

10 視よ日きたる視よ來れり命數いたりのぞむ杖花咲き驕傲茁す

Behold, the day! Behold, it approaches! Destruction has gone forth, the rod has blossomed, arrogance has germinated.

11 暴逆おこりて惡の杖と成る彼等もその群衆もその驕奢も皆失んかれらの中には何も殘る者なきにいたるべし

Iniquity has risen up into a rod of impiety. There shall be nothing left of them, and of their people, and of the sound of them. And there shall be no rest for them.

12 時きたる日ちかづけり買者は喜ぶなかれ賣者は思ひわづらふなかれ怒その群衆におよぶべければなり

The time is approaching; the day is very near. Whoever buys should not rejoice. And whoever sells should not mourn. For wrath is over all of their people.

13 賣者は假令その生命ながらふるともその賣たる者に歸ることあたはじ此地の全の群衆をさすところの預言は廢らざるべければなり其惡の中にありて生命を全うする者なかるべし

For whoever sells will not return to what he has sold, but as yet their life will be among the living. For the vision concerning their entire multitude will not turn back. And man will not be strengthened in the iniquity of his life.

14 人衆ラツパを吹て凡て預備をなせども戰にいづる者なし其はわが怒その全の群衆におよべばなり

Sound the trumpet! Let everyone be prepared! And yet there is no one who may go to battle. For my wrath is over all their people.

15 外には劍あり内には疫病と饑饉あり田野にをる者は劍に死なん邑の中にをる者は饑饉と疫病これをほろぼすべし

The sword is outside, and the pestilence and the famine are inside. Whoever is in the field will die by the sword. And whoever is in the city will be devoured by the pestilence and the famine.

16 その中の逃るる者は逃れて谷の鴿のごとくに山の上にをりて皆その罪のために悲しまん

And those who flee from among them will be saved. And they will be among the mountains, like doves in steep valleys, with every one of them trembling, each one because of his iniquity.

17 手みな弱くなり膝みな水となるべし

All hands will be weakened, and all knees will flow with water.

18 彼等は麻の衣を身にまとはん恐懼かれらを蒙まん諸の面には羞あらはれ諸の首は髮をそりおとされん

And they will wrap themselves with haircloth, and dread will cover them. And shame will be upon every face, and baldness will be upon all of their heads.

19 彼等その銀を街にすてん其金はかれらに塵芥のごとくなるべしヱホバの怒の日にはその金銀もかれらを救ふことあたはざるなり是等はその心魂を滿足せしめず其腹を充さず唯彼等をつまづかせて惡におとしいるる者なり

Their silver will be thrown away, and their gold will be like a dunghill. Their silver and their gold will have no power to free them in the day of the fury of the Lord. They will not satisfy their soul, and their bellies will not be filled, because of the scandal of their iniquity.

20 彼の美しき飾物を彼等驕傲のために用ひ又これをもてその憎べき偶像その憎むべき物をつくれり是をもて我これを彼らに芥とならしむ

And they have set arrogance as the ornament of their necklaces, and they have made images of their abominations and graven idols. Because of this, I have let it be an uncleanness for them.

21 我これを外國人にわたして奪はしめ地の惡人にわたして掠めしめん彼等すなはちこれを汚すべし

And I will give it into the hands of foreigners as a spoil, and to the impious of the earth as a prey, and they will defile it.

22 我かれらにわが面を背くべければ彼等わが密たる所を汚さん強暴人其處にいりてこれを汚すべし

And I will avert my face from them, and they will violate my place of mystery. And untamed persons will enter into it, and they will defile it.

23 汝鏈索を作れよ死にあたる罪國に滿ち暴逆邑に充たり

Cause it to be closed. For the land has been filled with the judgment of blood, and the city is full of iniquity.

24 我國々の中の惡き者等を招きて彼らの家を奪しめん我強者の驕傲を止めんその聖所は汚さるべし

And I will lead in the most sinful among the Gentiles, and they will possess their houses. And I will cause the arrogance of the powerful to be quieted. And they will possess their sanctuaries.

25 滅亡きたれり彼等平安を求むれども得ざるなり

When anguish overwhelms them, they will seek peace, and there will be none.

26 災害に災害くははり注進に注進くははる彼等預言者に默示を求めん律法は祭司の中に絕え謀略は長老の中に絕べし

Disturbance will follow after disturbance, and rumor after rumor. And they will seek the vision of the prophet, and the law will perish from the priest, and counsel will perish from the elders.

27 王は哀き牧伯は驚惶を身に纏ひ國の民の手は慄へん我その行爲に循ひて彼らを處置ひその審判に循ひて彼らを罰せん彼等は我ヱホバなるを知にいたるべし

The king will mourn, and the prince will be clothed with grief, and the hands of the people of the earth will be greatly disturbed. I will act toward them in accord with their own way, and I will judge them in accord with their own judgments. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
