エゼキエル書 36

1 人の子よ汝イスラエルの山々に預言して言べしイスラエルの山々よヱホバの言を聽け

And you, son of man, be a prophet about the mountains of Israel, and say, You mountains of Israel, give ear to the word of the Lord:

2 主ヱホバかく言たまふ敵汝等の事につきて言ふ嗚呼是等の舊き高處我儕の所有となると

This is what the Lord has said: Because your hater has said against you, Aha! and, The old waste places are our heritage, we have taken them:

3 是故に汝預言して言へ主ヱホバかく言ふ彼等汝らを荒し四方より汝らを呑り是をもて汝等は國民の中の殘餘者の所有となり亦人の口齒にかかりて噂せらる

For this cause be a prophet, and say, This is what the Lord has said: Because, even because they have been glad over you and put you to shame on every side, because you have become a heritage for the rest of the nations, and you are taken up on the lips of talkers and in the evil talk of the people:

4 然ばイスラエルの山々よ主ヱホバの言を聞け主ヱホバ山と岡と窪地と谷と滅びたる荒跡と人の棄たる邑々即ちその周圍に殘れる國民に掠められ嘲けらるる者にかく言たまふ

For this reason, you mountains of Israel, give ear to the word of the Lord; this is what the Lord has said to the mountains and to the hills, to the streams and to the valleys, to the unpeopled wastes and to the towns where no one is living, from which the goods have been taken and which have been put to shame by the rest of the nations who are round about:

5 即ち主ヱホバかく言たまふ我まことに吾が嫉妬の火焰をもやして國民の殘餘者とエドム全國の事を言り是等は心に歡樂を極め心に誇りて吾地をおのれの所有となし之を奪ひ掠めし者なり

For this cause the Lord has said: Truly, in the heat of my bitter feeling I have said things against the rest of the nations and against all Edom, who have taken my land as a heritage for themselves with the joy of all their heart, and with bitter envy of soul have made attacks on it:

6 然ばイスラエルの國の事を預言し山と岡と窪地と谷とに言ふべし主ヱホバかく言たまふ汝等諸の國民の羞辱を蒙りしに因て我わが嫉妬と忿怒を發して語れり

For this cause be a prophet about the land of Israel, and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the streams and to the valleys, This is what the Lord has said: Truly, in my bitter feeling and in my wrath I have said these things, because you have undergone the shame of the nations:

7 是をもて主ヱホバかく言たまふ我わが手を擧ぐ汝の周圍の諸の國民は必ず自身羞辱を蒙るべし

For this cause the Lord has said, See, I have taken an oath that the nations which are round about you are themselves to undergo the shame which they have put on you.

8 然どイスラエルの山々よ汝等は枝を生じわが民イスラエルのために實を結ばん此事遠からず成ん

But you, O mountains of Israel, will put out your branches and give your fruit to my people Israel; for they are ready to come.

9 視よ我汝らに臨み汝らを眷みん汝らは耕されて種をまかるべし

For truly I am for you, and I will be turned to you, and you will be ploughed and planted:

10 我汝等の上に人を殖さん是皆悉くイスラエルの家の者なるべし邑々には人住み墟址は建直さるべし

And I will let your numbers be increased, all the children of Israel, even all of them: and the towns will be peopled and the waste places will have buildings;

11 我なんぢらの上に人と牲畜を殖さん是等は殖て多く子を生ん我汝らの上に昔時のごとくに人を住しめ汝らの初の時よりもまされる恩惠を汝等に施すべし汝等は我がヱホバなるを知にいたらん

Man and beast will be increased in you, and they will have offspring and be fertile: I will make you thickly peopled as you were before, and will do more for you than at the first: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

12 我わが民イスラエルの人を汝らの上に歩ましめん彼等汝を有つべし汝はかれらの產業となり重ねて彼等に子なからしむることあらじ

Yes, I will have you walked on by the feet of men, even my people Israel; they will have you for a heritage and you will be theirs, and never again will you take their children from them.

13 主ヱホバかく言ひたまふ彼等汝らに向ひ汝は人を食ひなんぢの民をして子なからしめたりと言ふ

This is what the Lord has said: Because they say to you, You, O land, are the destruction of men, causing loss of children to your nation;

14 是故に主ヱホバ言たまふ汝ふたたび人を食ふべからず再び汝の民を躓かしむべからず

For this reason you will no longer take the lives of men and will never again be the cause of loss of children to your nation, says the Lord.

15 我汝をして重ねて國々の民の嘲笑を聞しめじ汝は重ねて國々の民の羞辱を蒙ることあらず汝の民を躓かしむることあらじ主ヱホバこれを言ふ

And I will not let the shaming of the nations come to your ears, and no longer will you be looked down on by the peoples, says the Lord.

16 ヱホバの言また我にのぞみて言ふ

Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

17 人の子よ昔イスラエルの家その國に住み己の途と行爲とをもて之を汚せりその途は月穢ある婦の穢のごとくに我に見えたり

Son of man, when the children of Israel were living in their land, they made it unclean by their way and their acts: their way before me was as when a woman is unclean at the time when she is kept separate.

18 彼等國に血を流し且その偶像をもて國を汚したるに因て我わが怒を彼等に斟ぎ

So I let loose my wrath on them because of those whom they had violently put to death in the land, and because they had made it unclean with their images:

19 彼らを諸の國の民の中に散したれば則ち諸の國に散ぬ我かれらの道と行爲とにしたがひて彼等を鞫けり

And I sent them in flight among the nations and wandering through the countries: I was their judge, rewarding them for their way and their acts.

20 彼等その往ところの國々に至りしが遂にわが聖き名を汚せり即ち人かれらを見てこれはヱホバの民にしてかれの國より出來れる者なりと言り

And when they came among the nations, wherever they went, they made my holy name unclean, when it was said of them, These are the people of the Lord who have gone out from his land.

21 是をもて我イスラエルの家がその至れる國々にて瀆せしわが聖き名を惜めり

But I had pity for my holy name which the children of Israel had made unclean wherever they went.

22 此故に汝イスラエルの家に言べし主ヱホバかく言たまふイスラエルの家よ我汝らのために之をなすにあらず汝らがその至れる國々にて汚せしわが聖き名のためになすなり

For this cause say to the children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: I am doing this, not because of you, O children of Israel, but because of my holy name, which you have made unclean among the nations wherever you went.

23 我國々の民の中に汚されたるわが大なる名即ち汝らがかれらの中にありて汚したるところの者を聖くせん國々の民はわが汝らに由て我の聖き事をその目の前にあらはさん時我がヱホバなるを知ん

And I will make holy my great name which has been made unclean among the nations, which you have made unclean among them; and it will be clear to the nations that I am the Lord, says the Lord, when I make myself holy in you before their eyes.

24 我汝等を諸の民の中より導き出し諸の國より集めて汝らの國に携いたり

For I will take you out from among the nations, and get you together from all the countries, and take you into your land.

25 淸き水を汝等に灑ぎて汝等を淸くならしめ汝等の諸の汚穢と諸の偶像を除きて汝らを淸むべし

And I will put clean water on you so that you may be clean: from all your unclean ways and from all your images I will make you clean.

26 我新しき心を汝等に賜ひ新しき靈魂を汝らの衷に賦け汝等の肉より石の心を除きて肉の心を汝らに與へ

And I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you: I will take away the heart of stone from your flesh, and give you a heart of flesh.

27 吾靈を汝らの衷に置き汝らをして我が法度に歩ましめ吾律を守りて之を行はしむべし

And I will put my spirit in you, causing you to be guided by my rules, and you will keep my orders and do them.

28 汝等はわが汝らの先祖等に與へし地に住て吾民とならん我は汝らの神となるべし

So that you may go on living in the land which I gave to your fathers; and you will be to me a people, and I will be to you a God.

29 我汝らを救ひてその諸の汚穢を離れしめ穀物を召て之を増し饑饉を汝らに臨ませず

And I will make you free from all your unclean ways: and at my voice the grain will come up and be increased, and I will not let you be short of food.

30 樹の果と田野の作物を多くせん是をもて汝らは重て饑饉の羞を國々の民の中に蒙ることあらじ

And I will make the tree give more fruit and the field fuller produce, and no longer will you be shamed among the nations for need of food.

31 汝らはその惡き途とその善らぬ行爲を憶えてその罪とその憎むべき事のために自ら恨みん

And at the memory of your evil ways and your wrongdoings, you will have bitter hate for yourselves because of your evil-doings and your disgusting ways, O children of Israel.

32 主ヱホバ言たまふ我が之を爲は汝らのためにあらず汝らこれを知れよイスラエルの家よ汝らの途を愧て悔むべし

Not because of you am I doing it, says the Lord; let it be clear to you, and be shamed and made low because of your ways, O children of Israel.

33 主ヱホバかく言たまふ我汝らの諸の罪を淸むる日に邑々に人を住しめ墟址を再興しめん

This is what the Lord has said: In the day when I make you clean from all your evil-doings I will let the towns be peopled and there will be building on the waste places.

34 荒たる地は前に往來の人々の目に荒地と見たるに引かへて耕さるるに至るべし

And the land which was waste will be farmed, in place of being a waste in the eyes of everyone who went by.

35 人すなはち言ん此荒たりし地はエデンの園のごとくに成り荒滅び圮れたりし邑々は堅固なりて人の住に至れりと

And they will say, This land which was waste has become like the garden of Eden; and the towns which were unpeopled and wasted and pulled down are walled and peopled.

36 汝らの周圍に殘れる國々の民はすなはち我ヱホバが圮れし者を再興し荒たるところに栽植することを知にいたらん我ヱホバこれを言ふ之を爲ん

Then the rest of the nations round about you will be certain that I the Lord am the builder of the places which were pulled down and the planter of that which was waste: I the Lord have said it, and I will do it.

37 主ヱホバかく言たまふイスラエルの家我が是を彼らのために爲んことをまた我に求むべきなり我群のごとくに彼ら人々を殖さん

This is what the Lord has said: The children of Israel will again make prayer to me for this, that I may do it for them; I will make them increased with men like a flock.

38 荒たる邑々には聖き群のごとくヱルサレムの節日の群のごとくに人の群滿ん人々すなはち我がヱホバなるを知べし

Like sheep for the offerings, like the sheep of Jerusalem at her fixed feasts, so the unpeopled towns will be made full of men: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
