Isaiah 15

1 The burden of Moab. For in the night that Ar of Moab is laid waste, he is brought to ruin; for in the night that Kir of Moab is laid waste, he is brought to ruin.

モアブにかかる重負のよげん 曰く／モアブのアルは一夜の間にあらされて亡びうせ モアブのキルは一夜のまに荒されてほろびうせん

2 He is gone up to Baith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep; upon Nebo, and upon Medeba, Moab howleth; on all their heads is baldness, every beard is shaven.

かれバイテおよびデボンの高所にのぼりて哭き モアブはネボ及びメデバの上にてなげきさけぶ おのおのその頭を禿にしその鬚をことごとく剃たり

3 In their streets they gird themselves with sackcloth; on their housetops, and in their broad places, every one howleth, weeping profusely.

かれら麁服をきてその衢にあり 屋蓋または廣きところにて皆なきさけび悲しむこと甚だし

4 And Heshbon crieth out, and Elealeh; their voice is heard even unto Jahaz; therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud; his soul is faint within him.

ヘシボンとエレアレと叫びてその聲ヤハズにまで聞ゆ この故にモアブの軍兵こゑをあげ その靈魂うちに在てをののけり

5 My heart crieth out for Moab; her fugitives reach unto Zoar, a heifer of three years old; for by the ascent of Luhith with weeping they go up; for in the way of Horonaim they raise up a cry of destruction.

わが心モアブのために叫びよばはれり その貴族はゾアルおよびヱグラテシリシヤにのがれ 哭つつルヒテの坂をのぼり ホロナイムの途にて敗亡の聲をあぐ

6 For the Waters of Nimrim shall be desolate; for the grass is withered away, the herbage faileth, there is no green thing.

ニムリムの水はかわき草はかれ苗はつきて緑蔬あらず

7 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the brook of the willows.

このゆゑに彼等はその獲たる富とその藏めたる物をたづさへて柳の河をわたらん

8 For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim.

その泣號のこゑはモアブの境をめぐり 悲歎のこゑはエグライムにいたり なげきの聲はべエルエリムにいたる

9 For the waters of Dimon are full of blood; for I will bring yet more upon Dimon, a lion upon him that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.

デモンの水は血にて充 われデモンの上にひとしほ禍害をくはへ モアブの遁れたる者とこの地の遺りたるものとに獅をおくらん
