Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.
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 ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice to them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
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 have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for my anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.
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 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
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 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
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 Wail ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
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 shall all hands be faint, and every man’s heart shall melt:
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 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
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 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy its 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 its constellations shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
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 punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
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 I will make a man more rare than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
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 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
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 it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one 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 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined to them 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 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be plundered, and their wives ravished.
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 the Medes against them, who shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
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 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare 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, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees’ excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
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 it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
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 of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.
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
22 And the wild beasts of the isles shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
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
