Jeremiah 48
1 Of Moab. The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Woe to Nebo! For it is laid waste. Kiriathaim is disappointed. It is taken. Misgab is put to shame and broken down.
萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神モアブの事につきてかくいひたまふ嗚呼ネボは禍なるかな是滅されたりキリヤタイムは辱められて取られミスガブは辱められて毀たる
2 The praise of Moab is no more. In Heshbon they have devised evil against her: ‘Come! Let’s cut her off from being a nation.’ You also, Madmen, will be brought to silence. The sword will pursue you.
モアブの榮譽は失さりぬヘシボンにて人衆モアブの害を謀り去來之を絕ちて國をなさざらしめんといふマデメンよ汝は滅されん劍汝を追はん
3 The sound of a cry from Horonaim, desolation and great destruction!
ホロナイムより號咷の聲きこゆ毀敗と大なる滅亡あり
4 Moab is destroyed. Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
モアブ滅されてその嬰孩等の號咷聞ゆ
5 For they will go up by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping. For at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
彼らは哭き哭きてルヒテの坂を登る敵はホロナイムの下り路にて滅亡の號咷をきけり
6 Flee! Save your lives! Be like the juniper bush in the wilderness.
逃て汝らの生命を救へ曠野に棄られたる者の如くなれ
7 For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also will be taken. Chemosh will go out into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
汝は汝の工作と財寶を賴むによりて汝も執へられん又ケモシは其祭司およびその牧伯等と偕に擄へうつさるべし
8 The destroyer will come on every city, and no city will escape; the valley also will perish, and the plain will be destroyed, as the LORD has spoken.
殘害者諸の邑に來らん一の邑も免れざるべし谷は滅され平地は荒されんヱホバのいひたまひしがごとし
9 Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get herself away: and her cities will become a desolation, without anyone to dwell in them.
翼をモアブに予へて飛さらしむ其諸邑は荒て住者なからん
10 “Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD negligently; and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.
ヱホバの事を行ふて怠る者は詛はれ又その劍をおさへて血を流さざる者は詛はる
11 “Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his dregs, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity; therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.
モアブはその幼時より安然にして酒の其滓のうへにとざまりて此器よりかの器に斟うつされざるが如くなりき彼擄うつされざりしに由て其味尚存ちその香氣變らざるなり
12 Therefore behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will send to him those who pour off, and they will pour him off; and they will empty his vessels, and break their containers in pieces.
ヱホバいひたまふ此故にわがこれを傾くる者を遣はす日來らん彼らすなはち之を傾け其器をあけ其罇を碎くべし
13 Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.
モアブはケモシのために羞をとらん是イスラエルの家がその恃めるところのベテルのために羞をとりしが如くなるべし
14 “How do you say, ‘We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war’?
汝ら何ぞ我らは勇士なり強き軍人なりといふや
15 Moab is laid waste, and they have gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter,” says the King, whose name is the LORD of Armies.
モアブはほろぼされその諸邑は騰りその選擇の壯者は下りて殺さる萬軍のヱホバと名る王これをいひ給ふ
16 “The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries fast.
モアブの滅亡近けりその禍速に來る
17 All you who are around him, bemoan him; and all you who know his name, say, ‘How the strong staff is broken, the beautiful rod!’
凡そ其四周にある者よ彼のために歎けその名を知る者よ強き竿美しき杖いかにして折しやといへ
18 “You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you. He has destroyed your strongholds.
デボンに住る女よ榮をはなれて下り燥ける地に坐せよモアブを敗る者汝にきたりて汝の城を滅さん
19 Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way and watch. Ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, ‘What has been done?’
アロエルに住る婦よ道の側にたちて闥ひ逃きたる者と脱れいたる者に事いかんと問へ
20 Moab is disappointed; for it is broken down. Wail and cry! Tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.
モアブは敗られて羞をとる汝ら呼はり咷びモアブは滅されたりとアルノンに告よ
21 Judgement has come on the plain country— on Holon, on Jahzah, on Mephaath,
鞫災平地に臨みホロン、ヤハヅ、メパアテ
22 on Dibon, on Nebo, on Beth Diblathaim,
デボン、ネボ、ベテデブラタイム
23 on Kiriathaim, on Beth Gamul, on Beth Meon,
キリヤタイム、ベテガムル、ベテメオン
24 on Kerioth, on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
ケリオテ、ボズラ、モアブの地の諸邑の遠き者にも近き者にも臨めり
25 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken,” says the LORD.
モアブの角は碎け其臂は折たりとヱホバいひたまふ
26 “Make him drunk, for he magnified himself against the LORD. Moab will wallow in his vomit, and he also will be in derision.
汝らモアブを醉はしめよ彼ヱホバにむかひて驕傲ればなりモアブは其吐たる物に轉びて笑柄とならん
27 For wasn’t Israel a derision to you? Was he found amongst thieves? For as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.
イスラエルは汝の笑柄にあらざりしや彼盜人の中にありしや汝彼の事を語るごとに首を搖たり
28 You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock. Be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.
モアブに住る者よ汝ら邑を離れて磐の間にすめ穴の口の側に巢を作る斑鳩の如くせよ
29 “We have heard of the pride of Moab. He is very proud in his loftiness, his pride, his arrogance, and the arrogance of his heart.
われらモアブの驕傲をきけり其驕傲は甚だし即ち其驕慢矜高驕誇およびその心の自ら高くするを聞り
30 I know his wrath,” says the LORD, “that it is nothing; his boastings have done nothing.
ヱホバいひたまふ我モアブの驕傲とその言の虛きとを知る彼らは僞を行ふなり
31 Therefore I will wail for Moab. Yes, I will cry out for all Moab. They will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
この故に我モアブの爲に咷びモアブの全地の爲に呼はるキルハレスの人々の爲に嗟歎あり
32 With more than the weeping of Jazer I will weep for you, vine of Sibmah. Your branches passed over the sea. They reached even to the sea of Jazer. The destroyer has fallen on your summer fruits and on your vintage.
シブマの葡萄の樹よわれヤゼルの哭泣にこえて汝の爲になげくべし汝の蔓は海を踰え延てヤゼルの海にまでいたる掠奪者來りて汝の果と葡萄をとらん
33 Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab. I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses. No one will tread with shouting. The shouting will be no shouting.
欣喜と歡樂園とモアブの地をはなれ去る我酒醡に酒無からしめん呼はりて葡萄を踐もの無るべし其喚呼は葡萄をふむ喚呼にあらざらん
34 From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz they have uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah; for the waters of Nimrim will also become desolate.
ヘシボンよりエレアレとヤハヅにいたりゾアルよりホロナイムとエグラテシリシヤにいたるまで人聲を揚ぐそはニムリムの水までも絕たればなり
35 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab,” says the LORD, “him who offers in the high place, and him who burns incense to his gods.
ヱホバいひたまふ我祭物を崇邱に献げ香をその諸神に焚くところの者をモアブの中に滅さんと
36 Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like flutes, and my heart sounds like flutes for the men of Kir Heres. Therefore the abundance that he has gotten has perished.
この故に我心はモアブの爲に簫のごとく歎き我心はキルハレスの人衆のために蕭のごとく歎く是其獲たるところの財うせたればなり
37 For every head is bald, and every beard clipped. There are cuttings on all the hands, and sackcloth on the waist.
人みなその髮を剃り皆その鬚をそり皆その手に傷け腰に麻布をまとはん
38 On all the housetops of Moab, and in its streets, there is lamentation everywhere; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which no one delights,” says the LORD.
モアブにては家蓋の上と街のうちに遍く悲哀ありそはわれ心に適ざる器のごとくにモアブを碎きたればなりとヱホバいひたまふ
39 “How it is broken down! How they wail! How Moab has turned the back with shame! So will Moab become a derision and a terror to all who are around him.”
嗚呼モアブはほろびたり彼らは咷ぶ嗚呼モアブは羞て面を背けたりモアブはその四周の者の笑柄となり恐懼となれり
40 For the LORD says: “Behold, he will fly as an eagle, and will spread out his wings against Moab.
ヱホバかくいひたまふ視よ敵鷲のごとくに飛來りて翼をモアブのうへに舒ん
41 Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized. The heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day will be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
ケリオテは取られ城はみな奪はるその日にはモアブの勇士の心子を產む婦のごとくになるべし
42 Moab will be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against the LORD.
モアブはヱホバにむかひて傲りしゆゑに滅ぼされて再び國を成ざるべし
43 Terror, the pit, and the snare are on you, inhabitant of Moab,” says the LORD.
ヱホバいひたまふモアブにすめる者よ恐怖と陷阱と罟汝に臨めり
44 “He who flees from the terror will fall into the pit; and he who gets up out of the pit will be taken in the snare, for I will bring on him, even on Moab, the year of their visitation,” says the LORD.
恐怖をさけて逃るものは陷阱におちいり陷阱より出るものは罟にとらへられん其はわれモアブにその罰をうくべき年をのぞましむればなりヱホバこれをいふ
45 “Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, and a flame from the middle of Sihon, and has devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
遁逃者は力なくしてヘシボンの蔭に立つ是は火ヘシボンより出で火焔シホンのうちより出てモアブの地および喧閙をなす者の首の頂を燒ばなり
46 Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh are undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.
嗚呼禍なるかなモアブよケモシの民は亡びたり即ち汝の諸子は擄へうつされ汝の女等は執へゆかれたり
47 “Yet I will reverse the captivity of Moab in the latter days,” says the LORD. Thus far is the judgement of Moab.
然ど末の日に我モアブの擄移されたる者を返さんとヱホバいひ給ふ此まではモアブの鞫をいへる言なり
