Ezekiel 37
1 One day Yahweh gave me another vision. In the vision I felt the power [MTY] of God on me, and by his Spirit he took me to the middle of a valley. It was full of bones [of people who had been killed].
爰にヱホバの手我に臨みヱホバ我をして靈にて出行しめ谷の中に我を放賜ふ其處には骨充てり
2 He led me to walk back and forth among those bones. I saw that there were very many bones there, bones that were very dry.
彼その周圍に我をひきめぐりたまふに谷の表には骨はなはだ多くあり皆はなはだ枯たり
3 He asked me, “You human, [do you think that] these bones can become living [people again]?” I replied, “Yahweh my Lord, only you know [if that can happen].”
彼われに言たまひけるは人の子よ是等の骨は生るや我言ふ主ヱホバよ汝知たまふ
4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones. Say to them, ‘You dry bones, listen to what Yahweh says.
彼我に言たまふ是等の骨に預言し之に言べし枯たる骨よヱホバの言を聞け
5 This is what Yahweh the Lord says to you bones: I will put my breath into each of you, and you will become alive again.
主ヱホバ是らの骨に斯言たまふ視よ我汝らの中に氣息を入しめて汝等を生しめん
6 I will fasten tendons to your bones, and cause your bones to be covered with flesh. I will cover the flesh with skin. Then I will breathe into you, and you will become alive. When that happens, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
我筋を汝らの上に作り肉を汝らの上に生ぜしめ皮をもて汝らを蔽ひ氣息を汝らの中に與へて汝らを生しめん汝ら我がヱホバなるを知ん
7 So I spoke to the bones what Yahweh commanded me to speak. As I was speaking, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bones joining to each other.
我命ぜられしごとく預言しけるが我が預言する時に音あり骨うごきて骨と骨あひ聯る
8 While I was looking, I saw tendons fastening to them and flesh covering them, and then skin covered the flesh, but they did not breathe.
我見しに筋その上に出きたり肉生じ皮上よりこれを蔽ひしが氣息その中にあらず
9 Then he said to me, “You human, prophesy to the wind. Say to the wind, ‘Wind [APO], Yahweh says to you, blow from all four directions. Breathe into these people who have been killed, in order that they can become alive again!’”
彼また我に言たまひけるは人の子よ氣息に預言せよ人の子よ預言して氣息に言へ主ヱホバかく言たまふ氣息よ汝四方の風より來り此殺されし者等の上に呼吸きて是を生しめよ
10 So I said what he commanded me to say, and then breath entered them. They became alive and stood up, like a huge army.
我命ぜられしごとく預言せしかば氣息これに入て皆生きその足に立ち甚だ多くの群衆となれり
11 Then he said to me, “You human, these bones represent all the Israeli people [MTY]. The people say, ‘[It is as though] our bones are dried up; there are no more good things that we can (hope for/confidently expect to happen to us); our nation is destroyed/finished.’
斯て彼われに言たまふ人の子よ是等の骨はイスラエルの全家なり彼ら言ふ我らの骨は枯れ我らの望は竭く我儕絕はつるなりと
12 So prophesy and say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: My people, [it will be as though] I will open your graves and cause your corpses to become alive again. I will bring you back to Israel.
是故に預言して彼らに言へ主ヱホバかく言たまふ吾民よ我汝等の墓を啓き汝らをその墓より出きたらしめてイスラエルの地に至らしむべし
13 Then, what that happens, you my people will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
わが民よ我汝らの墓を開きて汝らを其墓より出きたらしむる時汝らは我のヱホバなるを知ん
14 I will put my Spirit in you, and [it will be as though] you will become alive again, and I will enable you to live in your own land again. Then you will know that it is I, Yahweh, who said [that it would happen] and who has caused it to happen. That is what I, Yahweh, declare.’”
我わが靈を汝らの中におきて汝らを生しめ汝らをその地に安んぜしめん汝等すなはち我ヱホバがこれを言ひ之を爲たることを知にいたるべし
15 Yahweh gave me [another] message. He said,
ヱホバの言我にのぞみて言ふ
16 “You human, take a piece of wood and write on it, ‘This represents Judah and all the tribes of Judah.’ Then take another piece of wood and write on it, ‘This represents Israel and all the tribes of Israel.’
人の子よ汝一片の木を取てその上にユダおよびその侶なるイスラエルの子孫と書き又一片の木をとりてその上にヨセフおよびその侶なるイスラエルの全家と書べし是はエフライムの木なり
17 Then join them together to become [as though they were] one piece of wood in your hand.
而して汝これを俱にあはせて一の木となせ是汝の手の中にて相聯らん
18 When your fellow Israelis ask you, ‘What does (this action/what you just did) mean?’,
汝の民の人々汝に是は何の意なるか我儕に示さざるやと言ふ時は
19 tell them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: One of the pieces of wood in my hand represents Israel and all the tribes of Israel. I am joining it to the piece of wood that represents Judah, to form one piece of wood in his hand.’
これに言ふべし主ヱホバかく言たまふ我エフライムの手にあるヨセフとその侶なるイスラエルの支派の木を取り之をユダの木に合せて一の木となしわが手にて一とならしめん
20 Then, [you human], hold up the pieces of wood that you have written on, in order that the people can see them.
汝が書つけたるところの木を彼らの目のまへにて汝の手にあらしめ
21 Say to the people, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: I will take you Israeli people out of the countries to which you have been forced to go. I will gather you from all those nations and bring you back to your own land.
かれらに言ふべし主ヱホバかく言たまふ我イスラエルの子孫をその往るところの國々より出し四方よりかれを集めてその地に導き
22 And I will cause you to again be one nation in that land, on the mountains in Israel. And there will be one king to rule over all of you. Never again will you be two nations or divided into two kingdoms.
その地に於て汝らを一の民となしてイスラエルの山々にをらしめん一人の王彼等全體の王たるべし彼等は重て二の民となることあらず再び二の國に分れざるべし
23 No longer will you (defile yourselves/make yourselves unacceptable to me) by [worshiping] idols and disgusting statues [of your gods], because I will enable you to quit your sinful behavior and to stop rejecting me. You will be my people, and I will be your God.
彼等またその偶像とその憎むべき事等およびその諸の愆をもて身を汚すことあらじ我かれらをその罪を犯せし諸の住處より救ひ出してこれを淸むべし而して彼らはわが民となり我は彼らの神とならん
24 [Someone who will be like] [MET] [King] David who served [me well] will be the king [of your descendants], and [it will be as though] [MET] he will be their shepherd. They will carefully obey all my laws [DOU].
わが僕ダビデかれらの王とならん彼ら全體の者の牧者は一人なるべし彼らはわが律法にあゆみ吾法度をまもりてこれを行はん
25 They will live in the land that I gave to Jacob, who also served [me well]; they will live in the land where your ancestors lived. They and their children and their grandchildren will live there forever, and [the one who will be like] [MET] [King] David will be their king forever.
彼らは我僕ヤコブに我が賜ひし地に住ん是其先祖等が住ひし所なり彼處に彼らとその子及びその子の子とこしなへに住はん吾僕ダビデ長久にかれらの君たるべし
26 I will make a peace agreement with them; it will be an agreement that will endure forever. I will again give them that land and cause their population to increase. And I will put my temple among them forever.
我かれらと和平の契約を立ん是は彼らに永遠の契約となるべし我かれらを堅うし彼らを殖しわが聖所を長久にかれらの中におかん
27 The place where I will live will be among them; I will be their God and they will be my people.
我が住所は彼らの上にあるべし我かれらの神となり彼らわが民とならん
28 Then, when my temple is forever there among them, the people of other nations will know that I, Yahweh, have caused the Israeli people to be set apart [to belong to me].’”
わが聖所長久にかれらの中にあるにいたらば國々の民は我のヱホバにしてイスラエルを淸むる者なるを知ん
