エゼキエル書 2
1 彼はわたしに言われた、「人の子よ、立ちあがれ、わたしはあなたに語ろう」。
This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw, and I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of someone speaking. And he said to me: “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.”
2 そして彼がわたしに語られた時、霊がわたしのうちに入り、わたしを立ちあがらせた。そして彼のわたしに語られるのを聞いた。
And after this was spoken to me, the Spirit entered into me, and he set me on my feet. And I heard him speaking to me,
3 彼はわたしに言われた、「人の子よ、わたしはあなたをイスラエルの民、すなわちわたしにそむいた反逆の民につかわす。彼らもその先祖も、わたしにそむいて今日に及んでいる。
and saying: “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to an apostate nation, which has withdrawn from me. They and their fathers have betrayed my covenant, even to this day.
4 彼らは厚顔で強情な者たちである。わたしはあなたを彼らにつかわす。あなたは彼らに『主なる神はこう言われる』と言いなさい。
And those to whom I am sending you are sons with a hard face and an unyielding heart. And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’
5 彼らは聞いても、拒んでも、（彼らは反逆の家だから）彼らの中に預言者がいたことを知るだろう。
Perhaps it may be that they will hear, and perhaps they may be quieted. For they are a provoking house. And they shall know that there has been a prophet in their midst.
6 人の子よ、彼らを恐れてはならない。彼らの言葉をも恐れてはならない。たといあざみといばらがあなたと一緒にあっても、またあなたが、さそりの中に住んでも、彼らの言葉を恐れてはならない。彼らの顔をはばかってはならない。彼らは反逆の家である。
But as for you, son of man, you should not fear them, and you should not dread their words. For you are among unbelievers and subversives, and you are living with scorpions. You should not fear their words, and you should not dread their faces. For they are a provoking house.
7 彼らが聞いても、拒んでも、あなたはただわたしの言葉を彼らに語らなければならない。彼らは反逆の家だから。
Therefore, you shall speak my words to them, so that perhaps they may hear and be quieted. For they are provoking.
8 人の子よ、わたしがあなたに語るところを聞きなさい。反逆の家のようにそむいてはならない。あなたの口を開いて、わたしが与えるものを食べなさい」。
But as for you, son of man, listen to all that I say to you. And do not choose to be provoking, as that house is a provoker. Open your mouth, and eat whatever I give to you.”
9 この時わたしが見ると、見よ、わたしの方に伸べた手があった。また見よ、手の中に巻物があった。
And I looked, and behold: a hand was put forth toward me; there was a scroll rolled up in it.
10 彼がわたしの前にこれを開くと、その表にも裏にも文字が書いてあった。その書かれていることは悲しみと、嘆きと、災の言葉であった。
And he spread it out before me, and there was writing on the inside and on the outside. And there were written in it lamentations, and verses, and woes.
