Isaiah 19
1 The burden of Egypt. “Behold, Yahweh rides on a swift cloud, and comes to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence; and the heart of Egypt will melt within it.
エジプトにかかる重負のよげんいはく ヱホバははやき雲にのりてエジプトに來りたまふエジプトのもろもろの偶像はその前にふるひをののきエジプト人のこころはその衷にて消ゆかん
2 I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians, and they will fight everyone against his brother, and everyone against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
我エジプト人をたけび勇ましめてエジプト人を攻しめん斯てかれら各自その兄弟をせめおのおのその鄰をせめ邑は邑をせめ國はくにを攻べし
3 The spirit of the Egyptians will fail within them. I will destroy their counsel. They will seek the idols, the charmers, those who have familiar spirits, and the wizards.
エジプト人の靈魂うせてその中むなしくならんわれその謀略をほろぼすべしかれらは偶像および呪文をとなふるもの巫女魔術者にもとむることを爲ん
4 I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord. A fierce king will rule over them,” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.
われエジプト人を苛酷なる主人の手にわたさんあらあらしき王かれらを治むべし是主萬軍のヱホバの聖言なり
5 The waters will fail from the sea, and the river will be wasted and become dry.
海の水はつき河もまた涸てかわかん
6 The rivers will become foul. The streams of Egypt will be diminished and dried up. The reeds and flags will wither away.
また河々はくさき臭をはなちエジプトの堭はみな漸次にへりてかわき葦と蘆とかれはてん
7 The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all the sown fields of the Nile, will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.
ナイルのほとりの草原ナイルの岸にほどちかき所すべてナイルの最寄にまきたる者はことごとく枯てちりうせん
8 The fishermen will lament, and all those who fish in the Nile will mourn, and those who spread nets on the waters will languish.
漁者もまた歎きすべてナイルに釣をたるる者はかなしみ網を水のうへに施ものはおとろふべし
9 Moreover those who work in combed flax, and those who weave white cloth, will be confounded.
練たる麻にて物つくるもの白布を織ものは恥あわて
10 The pillars will be broken in pieces. All those who work for hire will be grieved in soul.
その柱はくだけ一切のやとはれたる者のこころ憂ひかなしまん
11 The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish. The counsel of the wisest counselors of Pharaoh has become stupid. How do you say to Pharaoh, “I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings”?
誠やゾアンの諸侯は愚なりパロの最もかしこき議官のはかりごとは癡鈍べし然ばなんぢら何でパロに
12 Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you now; and let them know what Yahweh of Armies has purposed concerning Egypt.
あなたの賢い者はどこにおるか。彼らをして、万軍の主がエジプトについて定められたことをあなたに告げ知らしめよ。
13 The princes of Zoan have become fools. The princes of Memphis are deceived. They have caused Egypt to go astray, those who are the cornerstone of her tribes.
ゾアンの君たちは愚かとなり、メンピスの君たちは欺かれ、エジプトのもろもろの部族の隅の石たる彼らは、かえってエジプトを迷わせた。
14 Yahweh has mixed a spirit of perverseness in the middle of her; and they have caused Egypt to go astray in all of its works, like a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
主は曲った心を彼らのうちに混ぜられた。彼らはエジプトをして、すべてその行うことに迷わせ、あたかも酔った人の物吐くときによろめくようにさせた。
15 Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which head or tail, palm branch or rush, may do.
エジプトに対しては、頭あるいは尾、しゅろの枝あるいは葦が共になしうるわざはない。
16 In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will tremble and fear because of the shaking of Yahweh of Armies’s hand, which he shakes over them.
その日、エジプトびとは女のようになり、万軍の主の彼らの上に振り動かされるみ手の前に恐れおののく。
17 The land of Judah will become a terror to Egypt. Everyone to whom mention is made of it will be afraid, because of the plans of Yahweh of Armies, which he determines against it.
ユダの地は、エジプトびとに恐れられ、ユダについて語り告げることを聞くエジプトびとはみな、万軍の主がエジプトびとにむかって定められた計りごとのゆえに恐れる。
18 In that day, there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan, and swear to Yahweh of Armies. One will be called “The city of destruction.”
その日、エジプトの地にカナンの国ことばを語り、また万軍の主に誓いを立てる五つの町があり、その中の一つは太陽の町ととなえられる。
19 In that day, there will be an altar to Yahweh in the middle of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to Yahweh at its border.
その日、エジプトの国の中に主をまつる一つの祭壇があり、その境に主をまつる一つの柱がある。
20 It will be for a sign and for a witness to Yahweh of Armies in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to Yahweh because of oppressors, and he will send them a savior and a defender, and he will deliver them.
これはエジプトの国で万軍の主に、しるしとなり、あかしとなる。彼らがしえたげる者のゆえに、主に叫び求めるとき、主は救う者をつかわして、彼らを守り助けられる。
21 Yahweh will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know Yahweh in that day. Yes, they will worship with sacrifice and offering, and will vow a vow to Yahweh, and will perform it.
主はご自分をエジプトびとに知らせられる。その日、エジプトびとは主を知り、犠牲と供え物とをもって主に仕え、主に誓願をたててこれを果す。
22 Yahweh will strike Egypt, striking and healing. They will return to Yahweh, and he will be entreated by them, and will heal them.
主はエジプトを撃たれる。主はこれを撃たれるが、またいやされる。それゆえ彼らは主に帰る。主は彼らの願いをいれて、彼らをいやされる。
23 In that day there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.
その日、エジプトからアッスリヤに通う大路があって、アッスリヤびとはエジプトに、エジプトびとはアッスリヤに行き、エジプトびとはアッスリヤびとと共に主に仕える。
24 In that day, Israel will be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing within the earth;
その日、イスラエルはエジプトとアッスリヤと共に三つ相並び、全地のうちで祝福をうけるものとなる。
25 because Yahweh of Armies has blessed them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.”
万軍の主は、これを祝福して言われる、「さいわいなるかな、わが民なるエジプト、わが手のわざなるアッスリヤ、わが嗣業なるイスラエル」と。
