エゼキエル書 7
1 ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ
Moreover the LORD’s word 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
“You, son of man, the Lord GOD says to the land of Israel, ‘An end! The end has come on the four corners of the land.
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 on you, and I will send my anger on you, and will judge you according to your ways. I will bring on you all your abominations.
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
My eye will not spare you, neither will I have pity; but I will bring your ways on you, and your abominations will be amongst you. Then you will 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
“The Lord GOD says: ‘A disaster! A unique disaster! Behold, it comes.
6 末期きたる其末期きたる是起りて汝に臨む視よ來る
An end has come. The end has come! It awakes against you. Behold, it comes.
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
Your doom has come to you, inhabitant of the land! The time has come! The day is near, a day of tumult, and not of joyful shouting, on 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 I will shortly pour out my wrath on you, and accomplish my anger against you, and will judge you according to your ways. I will bring on you all your abominations.
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
My eye won’t spare, neither will I have pity. I will punish you according to your ways. Your abominations will be amongst you. Then you will know that I, the LORD, strike.
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 comes! Your doom has gone out. The rod has blossomed. Pride has budded.
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
Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness. None of them will remain, nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth. There will be nothing of value amongst 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 has come! The day draws near. Don’t let the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for wrath is on all its multitude.
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 the seller won’t return to that which is sold, although they are still alive; for the vision concerns the whole multitude of it. None will return. None will strengthen himself 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
They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready; but no one goes to the battle, for my wrath is on all its multitude.
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 within. He who is in the field will die by the sword. He who is in the city will be devoured by famine and pestilence.
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
But of those who escape, they will escape and will be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, everyone in his iniquity.
17 手みな弱くなり膝みな水となるべし
All hands will be feeble, and all knees will be weak as 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
They will also clothe themselves with sackcloth, and horror will cover them. Shame will be on all faces, and baldness on all 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
They will cast their silver in the streets, and their gold will be as an unclean thing. Their silver and their gold won’t be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’s wrath. They won’t satisfy their souls or fill their bellies; because it has been the stumbling block 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
As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty; but they made the images of their abominations and their detestable things therein. Therefore I have made it to them as an unclean thing.
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
I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a plunder; and they will profane 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
I will also turn my face from them, and they will profane my secret place. Robbers will enter into it, and profane 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
“‘Make chains, for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
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
Therefore I will bring the worst of the nations, and they will possess their houses. I will also make the pride of the strong to cease. Their holy places will be profaned.
25 滅亡きたれり彼等平安を求むれども得ざるなり
Destruction comes! 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
Mischief will come on mischief, and rumour will be on rumour. They will seek a vision of the prophet; but the law will perish from the priest, and counsel 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 desolation. The hands of the people of the land will be troubled. I will do to them after their way, and according to their own judgements I will judge them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’”
