Naum 3
1 O city of blood, wholly false, full of unrighteousness; the prey shall not be handled.
禍なるかな血を流す邑 その中には全く詭譎および暴行充ち掠め取ること息まず
2 The noise of whips, and the noise of the rumbling of wheels, and of the pursuing horse, and of the bounding chariot,
鞭の音あり輪の轟く音あり 馬は躍り跳ね車は輾り行く
3 and of the mounting rider, and of the glittering sword, and of the gleaming arms, and of a multitude of slain, and of heavy falling: and there was no end to her nations, but they shall be weak in their bodies
騎兵馳のぼり劍きらめき鎗ひらめく 殺さるる者夥多しくして死屍山を爲し死骸限なし 皆死屍に躓きて倒る
4 because of the abundance of fornication: [she is] a fair harlot, and well-favoured, skilled in sorcery, that sells the nations by her fornication, and peoples by her sorceries.
是はかの魔術の主なる美しき妓女多く淫行を行ひその淫行をもて諸國を奪ひその魔術をもて諸族を惑したるに因てなり
5 Behold, I am against you, says the Lord God Almighty, and I will uncover your skirts in your presence, and I will show the nations your shame, and the kingdoms your disgrace.
萬軍のヱホバ言たまふ 視よ我なんぢに臨む 我なんぢの裳裾を掲げて面の上にまで及ぼし汝の陰所を諸民に見し汝の羞る所を諸國に見すべし
6 And I will cast abominable filth upon you according to your unclean ways, and will make you a public example.
我また穢はしき物を汝の上に投かけて汝を辱しめ汝をして賽物とならしめん
7 And it shall be [that] every one that sees you shall go down from you, and shall say, Wretched Nineve! who shall lament for her? whence shall I seek comfort for her?
凡て汝を見る者はみな汝を避て奔り去りニネベは亡びたりと言ん 誰か汝のために哀かんや 何處よりして我なんぢを弔ふ者を尋ね得んや
8 Prepare you a portion, tune the chord, prepare a portion for Ammon: she that dwells among the rivers, water is round about her, whose dominion is the sea, and whose walls are water.
汝あにノアモンに愈らんや ノアモンは河々の間に立ち水をその周圍に環らし海をもて壕となし海をもて垣となせり
9 And Ethiopia is her strength, and Egypt; and there was no limit of the flight [of her enemies]; and the Libyans became her helpers.
かつその勢力たる者はエテオピア人およびエジプト人などにして限あらず フテ人ルビ人等汝を助けたりき
10 Yet she shall go as a prisoner into captivity, and they shall dash her infants against the ground at the top of all her ways: and they shall cast lots upon all her glorious [possessions], and all her nobles shall be bound in chains.
然るに是も俘囚となりて擄はれてゆきその子女は一切の衢の隅々にて投付られて碎け又その尊貴者は籤にて分たれ其大なる者はみな鏈に繋がれたり
11 And you shall be drunken, and shall be overlooked; and you shall seek for yourself strength because of [your] enemies.
汝もまた酔せられて終に隱れん 汝もまた敵を避て逃るる處を尋ね求めん
12 All your strongholds are as fig-trees having watchers: if they be shaken, they shall fall into the mouth of the eater.
汝の城々はみな初に結びし果のなれる無花果樹のごとし 之を撼がせばその果落て食はんとする者の口にいる
13 Behold, your people within you are as women: the gates of your land shall surely be opened to your enemies: the fire shall devour your bars.
汝の中にある民は婦人のごとし 汝の地の門はみな汝の敵の前に廣く開きてあり 火なんぢの關を焚ん
14 Draw you water for a siege, and well secure your strongholds: enter into the clay, and be you trodden in the chaff, make [the fortifications] stronger than brick.
汝水を汲て圍まるる時の用に備へ汝の城々を堅くし泥の中に入て踐て石灰を作りかつ瓦焼窰を修理へよ
15 There the fire shall devour you; the sword shall utterly destroy you, it shall devour you as the locust, and you shall be pressed down as a palmerworm.
其處にて火汝を焼き劍なんぢを斬らん 其なんぢを滅すこと吸蝗のごとくなるべし 汝吸蝗のごとく數多からば多かれ 汝群蝗のごとく數多からば多かれ
16 You have multiplied your merchandise beyond the stars of heaven: the palmerworm has attacked [it], and has flown away.
汝はおのれの商賣を空の星よりも多くせり 吸蝗掠めて飛さる
17 Your mixed [multitude] has suddenly departed as the grasshopper, as the locust perched on a hedge in a frosty day; the sun arises, and it flies off, and knows not its place: woe to them!
汝の重臣は群蝗のごとく汝の軍長は蝗の群のごとし 寒き日には垣に巣窟を構へ日出きたれば飛て去る その在る處を知る者なし
18 Your shepherds have slumbered, the Assyrian king has laid low your mighty men: your people departed to the mountains, and there was none to receive [them].
アッスリヤの王よ汝の牧者は睡り汝の貴族は臥す 又なんぢの民は山々に散さる 之を聚むる者なし
19 There is no healing for your bruise; your wound has rankled: all that hear the report of you shall clap their hands against you; for upon whom has not your wickedness passed continually?
汝の傷は愈ること無し 汝の創は重し 汝の事を聞およぶ者はみな汝の故によりて手を拍ん 誰か汝の惡行を恒に身に受ざる者やある
