エゼキエル書 30

1 主の言葉がわたしに臨んだ、

And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,

2 「人の子よ、預言して言え、主なる神はこう言われる、嘆け、その日はわざわいだ。

“Son of man, prophesy, and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: Howl, Aah! For the day!

3 その日は近い、主の日は近い。これは雲の日、異邦人の滅びの時である。

For a day [is] near, a day [is] near to YHWH! It is a time of cloud [over] the nations.

4 つるぎがエジプトに臨む。エジプトで殺される者の倒れる時、エチオピヤには苦しみがあり、その財宝は奪い去られ、その基は破られる。

And a sword has come into Egypt, And there has been great pain in Cush, In the falling of the wounded in Egypt, And they have taken its store, And its foundations have been broken down.

5 エチオピヤ、プテ、ルデ、アラビヤ、リビヤおよび同盟国の人々は、彼らと共につるぎに倒れる。

Cush, and Phut, and Lud, and all the mixture, and Chub, And the sons of the land of the covenant fall by sword with them,

6 主はこう言われる、エジプトを助ける者は倒れ、その誇る力はうせる。ミグドルからスエネまで、人々はつるぎによってそのうちに倒れると主なる神が言われる。

Thus said YHWH: And those supporting Egypt have fallen, And the arrogance of her strength has come down, From Migdol to Syene, they fall by sword in her, A declaration of Lord YHWH.

7 それは荒れて、荒れはてた国々のうちにあり、その町々は荒れた町々のうちにある。

And they have been desolated in the midst of desolate lands, And its cities are in the midst of cities [that are] laid waste.

8 わたしがエジプトに火を送り、これを助ける者が皆滅びる時、彼らはわたしが主であることを知る。

And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My giving fire against Egypt, And all her helpers have been broken.

9 その日、早足の使者がわたしから出て、何事も知らぬエチオピヤびとを恐れさせる。そしてかのエジプトの滅びの日に、彼らに苦しみが来る。見よ、これはかならず来る。

In that day messengers go forth from before Me in ships, To trouble confident Cush, And there has been great pain among them, As the day of Egypt, for behold, it has come.

10 主なる神はこう言われる、わたしはバビロンの王ネブカデレザルの手によってエジプトの富を滅ぼす。

Thus said Lord YHWH: I have caused the multitude of Egypt to cease, By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,

11 彼と彼に従うその民、すなわち国民のうちの最も恐るべき者がきて、その地を滅ぼす。彼らはつるぎを抜いて、エジプトを攻め、殺した者を国に満たす。

He and his people with him—the terrible of nations, Are brought in to destroy the land, And they have drawn their swords against Egypt, And have filled the land [with] the wounded.

12 わたしはナイル川をからし、その国を悪しき者の手に売り、異邦人の手によって国とその中のものとを荒す。主なるわたしはこれを言った。

And I have made floods a dry place, And I have sold the land into the hand of evildoers, And I have made the land desolate, And its fullness, by the hand of strangers, I, YHWH, have spoken.

13 主なる神はこう言われる、わたしは偶像をこわし、メンピスで偶像を滅ぼす。エジプトの国には、もはや君たる者がなくなる。わたしはエジプトの国に恐れを与える。

Thus said Lord YHWH: And I have destroyed idols, And caused vain things to cease from Noph, And there is no longer a prince of the land of Egypt, And I give fear in the land of Egypt.

14 わたしはパテロスを荒し、ゾアンに火を放ち、テーベにさばきをおこない、

And I have made Pathros desolate, And I have given fire against Zoan, And I have done judgments in No,

15 わたしの怒りを、エジプトの要害であるペルシゥムに注ぎ、テーベの群衆を断ち、

And I have poured out My fury on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt, And I have cut off the multitude of No.

16 エジプトに火を下す。ペルシゥムはいたく苦しみ、テーベは打ち破られ、その城壁は破壊され、

And I have given fire against Egypt, Sin is greatly pained, and No is to be broken, And Noph has daily distresses.

17 オンとピベセテの若者はつるぎに倒れ、女たちは捕え移される。

The youths of Aven and Pi-Beseth fall by sword, And these go into captivity.

18 わたしがエジプトの支配を砕く時、テパネスでは日は暗くなり、その誇る力は絶え、雲はこれをおおい、その娘たちは捕え移される。

And the day has been dark in Tehaphnehes, In My breaking the yokes of Egypt there, And the excellence of her strength has ceased in her, Her! A cloud covers her, And her daughters go into captivity.

19 このようにわたしはエジプトにさばきを行う。そのとき彼らはわたしが主であることを知る」。

And I have done judgments in Egypt, And they have known that I [am] YHWH.”

20 第十一年の一月七日に主の言葉がわたしに臨んだ、

And it comes to pass, in the eleventh year, in the first [month], on the seventh of the month, a word of YHWH has been to me, saying, “Son of man,

21 「人の子よ、わたしはエジプトの王パロの腕を折った。見よ、これは包まれず、いやされず、ほうたいをも施されない。それは強くなって、つるぎを執ることができない。

I have broken the arm of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, And behold, it has not been bound up to give healing, To put a bandage to bind it, To strengthen it—to lay hold on the sword.

22 それゆえ、主なる神はこう言われる、見よ、わたしはエジプトの王パロを攻め、その強い腕と、折れた腕とを共に折り、その手からつるぎを落させる。

Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, And I have broken his arms, The strong one and the broken one, And have caused the sword to fall out of his hand,

23 わたしはエジプトびとを、もろもろの国民の中に散らし、国々に散らす。

And I have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And have spread them through lands,

24 わたしはバビロンの王の腕を強くし、わたしのつるぎを、その手に与える。しかしわたしはパロの腕を折るゆえ、彼は深手を負った者のように、彼の前にうめく。

And I have strengthened the arms of the king of Babylon, And have given My sword into his hand, And I have broken the arms of Pharaoh, And he has groaned the groans of a pierced one—before him.

25 わたしがバビロンの王の腕を強くし、パロの腕がたれる時、彼らはわたしが主であることを知る。わたしがわたしのつるぎを、バビロンの王に授け、これをエジプトの国に向かって伸べさせ、

And I have strengthened the arms of the king of Babylon, And the arms of Pharaoh fall down, And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My giving My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, And he has stretched it out toward the land of Egypt.

26 わたしがエジプトびとを、もろもろの国民の中に散らし、国々に散らす時、彼らはわたしが主であることを知る」。

And I have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have spread them through lands, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”
