Esias 13
1 THE VISION WHICH ESAIAS SON OF AMOS SAW AGAINST BABYLON.
アモツの子イザヤが示されたるバビロンにかかる重負の預言
2 Lift up a standard on the mountain of the plain, exalt the voice to them, beckon with the hand, open [the gates], you rulers.
なんぢらかぶろの山に旂をたて聲をあげ手をふり彼等をまねきて貴族の門にいらしめよ
3 I give command, and I bring them: giants are coming to fulfil my wrath, rejoicing at the same time and insulting.
われ既にきよめ別ちたるものに命じわが丈夫ほこりかにいさめる者をよびてわが怒をもらさしむ
4 A voice of many nations on the mountains, [even] like [to that] of many nations; a voice of kings and nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts has given command to a warlike nation,
山におほくの人の聲きこゆ大なる民あるがごとし もろもろの國民のよりつどひて喧めく聲きこゆ これ萬軍のヱホバたたかひの軍兵を召したまふなり
5 to come from a land afar off, from the utmost foundation of heaven; the Lord and his warriors [are coming] to destroy all the world.
かれらはとほき國より天の極よりきたる これヱホバとその忿恚をもらす器とともに全國をほろぼさんとて來るなり
6 Howl you, for the day of the Lord is near, and destruction from God shall arrive.
なんぢら泣號ぶべしヱホバの日ちかづき全能者よりいづる敗亡きたるべければなり
7 Therefore every hand shall become powerless, and every soul of man shall be dismayed.
この故にすべての手はたれ凡の人のこころは消ゆかん
8 The elders shall be troubled, and pangs shall seize them, as of a woman in travail: and they shall mourn one to another, and shall be amazed, and shall change their countenance as a flame.
かれら慴きおそれ艱難と憂とにせまられ子をうまんとする婦のごとく苦しみ互におどろき相みあひてその面は燄のごとくならん
9 For behold! the day of the Lord is coming which can’t be escaped, [a day] of wrath and anger, to make the world desolate, and to destroy sinners out of it.
視よヱホバの日苛くして忿恚とはげしき怒とをもて來り この國をあらしその中よりつみびとを絶滅さん
10 For the stars of heaven, and Orion, and all the host of heaven, shall not give their light; and it shall be dark at sunrise, and the moon shall not give her light.
天のもろもろの星とほしの宿は光をはなたず 日はいでてくらく月はその光をかがやかさざるべし
11 And I will command evils for the whole world, and [will visit] their sins on the ungodly: and I will destroy the pride of transgressors, and will bring low the pride of the haughty.
われ惡ことのために世をつみし不義のために惡きものをばつし驕れるものの誇をとどめ暴ぶるものの傲慢をひくくせん
12 And they that are left shall be more precious than gold tried in the fire; and a man shall be more precious than the stone that is in Suphir.
われ人をして精金よりもすくなくオフルの黄金よりも少なからしめん
13 For the heaven shall be enraged, and the earth shall be shaken from her foundation, because of the fierce anger of the Lord of hosts, in the day in which his wrath shall come on.
かくて亦われ萬軍のヱホバの忿恚のとき烈しき怒りの日に天をふるはせ地をうごかしてその處をうしなはしむべし
14 And they that are left shall be as a fleeing fawn, and as a stray sheep, and there shall be none to gather [them]: so that a man shall turn back to his people, and a man shall flee to his own land.
かれらは逐るる鹿のごとく集むるものなき羊のごとくなりて各自おのれの民にかへりおのれの國にのがれゆかん
15 For whoever shall be taken shall be overcome; and they that are gathered together shall fall by the sword.
すべて其處にあるもの見出さるれば刺れ拘留らるるものは劍にたふされ
16 And they shall dash their children before their eyes; and they shall spoil their houses, and shall take their wives.
彼等の嬰兒はその目前にてなげくだかれその家財はかすめうばはれその妻はけがさるべし
17 Behold, I will stir up against you the Medes, who do not regard silver, neither have they need of gold.
視よわれ白銀をもかへりみず黄金をもよろこばざるメデア人をおこして之にむかはしめん
18 They shall break the bows of the young men; and they shall have no mercy on your children; nor shall their eyes spare your children.
かれらは弓をもて若きものを射くだき腹の實をあはれむことなく小子をみてをしむことなし
19 And Babylon, which is called glorious by the king of the Chaldeans, shall be as [when] God overthrew Sodoma, and Gomorrha.
すべての國の中にてうるはしくカルデヤ人がほこり飾となせるバビロンはむかし神にほろぼされたるソドム、ゴモラのごとくならん
20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall any enter into it for many generations: neither shall the Arabians pass through it; nor shall shepherds at all rest in it.
ここに住むもの永くたえ世々にいたるまで居ものなくアラビヤ人もかしこに幕屋をはらず牧人もまたかしこにはその群をふさすることなく
21 But wild beasts shall rest there; and the houses shall be filled with howling; and monsters shall rest there, and devils shall dance there, and satyrs shall dwell there; and hedgehogs shall make their nests in their houses. It will come soon, and will not wait.
ただ猛獸かしこにふし吼るものその家にみち鴕鳥かしこにすみ牡山羊かしこに躍らん
豺狼その城のなかになき野犬えいぐわの宮にさけばんその時のいたるは近きにありその日は延ることなかるべし
