< Zephaniah 3 >

1 Woe to her that is rebellious and polluted, to the oppressing city!
此暴虐を行ふ悖りかつ汚れたる邑は禍なるかな
2 She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.
是は聲を聽いれず教晦を承ずヱホバに依頼まずおのれの神に近よらず
3 Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they leave nothing till the morrow.
その中にをる牧伯等は吼る獅子の如くその審士は明旦までに何をも遺さざる 夜求食する狼のごとし
4 Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have profaned the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
その預言者は傲りかつ詐る人なり その祭司は聖物を汚し律法を破ることをなせり
5 The LORD in the midst of her is righteous; he will not do iniquity; every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.
その中にいますヱホバは義くして不義を行なひたまはず朝な朝な己の公義を顯して缺ることなし 然るに不義なる者は恥を知ず
6 I have cut off nations, their battlements are desolate; I have made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant.
我國々の民を滅したればその櫓は凡て荒たり 我これが街を荒凉れしめたれば往來する者なし その邑々は滅びて人なく住む者なきに至れり
7 I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive correction; so her dwelling should not be cut off, [according to] all that I have appointed concerning her: but they rose early and corrupted all their doings.
われ前に言り 汝ただ我を畏れまた警教を受べし 然らばその住家は我が凡て之につきて定めたる所の如くに滅されざるべしと 然るに彼等は夙に起て己の一切の行状を壞れり
8 Therefore wait ye for me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger; for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
ヱホバ曰たまふ 是ゆゑに汝らわが起て獲物をする日いたるまで我を俟て 我もろもろの民を集へ諸の國を聚めてわが憤恨とわが烈き忿怒を盡くその上にそそがんと思ひ定む 全地はわが嫉妬の火に焼ほろぼさるべし
9 For then will I turn to the peoples a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.
その時われ國々の民に清き唇をあたへ彼らをして凡てヱホバの名を呼しめ心をあはせて之につかへしめん
10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.
わが散せし者等の女即ち我を拜む者エテオピアの河々の彼旁よりもきたりて我に禮ものをささぐべし
11 In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of thee thy proudly exulting ones, and thou shalt no more be haughty in my holy mountain.
その日には汝われに對てをかしきたりし諸の行爲をもて羞を得ことなかるべし その時には我なんぢの中より高ぶり樂む者等を除けば汝かさねてわが聖山にて傲り高ぶることなければなり
12 But I will leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD.
われ柔和にして貧き民をなんぢの中にのこさん 彼らはヱホバの名に依頼むべし
13 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
イスラエルの遺れる者は惡を行はず 謊をいはず その口のうちには詐僞の舌なし 彼らは草食ひ臥やすまん 之を懼れしむる者なかるべし
14 Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
シオンの女よ歡喜の聲を擧よ イスラエルよ樂み呼はれ エルサレムの女よ心のかぎり喜び樂め
15 The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not fear evil any more.
ヱホバすでに汝の鞫を止め汝の敵を逐はらひたまへり イスラエルの王ヱホバ汝の中にいます 汝はかさねて災禍にあふことあらじ
16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: O Zion, let not thine hands be slack.
その日にはエルサレムに向ひて言あらん 懼るるなかれ シオンよ 汝の手をしなえ垂るるなかれと
17 The LORD thy God is in the midst of thee, a mighty one who will save: he will rejoice over thee with joy, he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
なんぢの神ヱホバなんぢの中にいます 彼は拯救を施す勇士なり 彼なんぢのために喜び樂み愛の餘りに黙し汝のために喜びて呼はりたまふ
18 I will gather them that sorrow for the solemn assembly, who were of thee: [to whom] the burden upon her was a reproach.
われ節會のことにつきて憂ふるものを集めん 彼等は汝より出し者なり 恥辱かれらに蒙ること重負のごとし
19 Behold, at that time I will deal with all them that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven away; and I will make them a praise and a name, whose shame hath been in all the earth.
視よその時われ汝を虐遇る者を盡く處置し足蹇たるものを救ひ逐はなたれたる者を集め彼らをして其羞辱を蒙りし一切の國にて稱譽を得させ名を得さすべし
20 At that time will I bring you in, and at that time will I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I bring again your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD.
その時われ汝らを携へその時われ汝らを集むべし 我なんぢらの目の前において汝らの俘囚をかへし汝らをして地上の萬國に名を得させ稱譽を得さすべし ヱホバこれを言ふ
