Isaiah 16
1 Send the lambs for the ruler of the land from Selah to the wilderness, to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
なんぢら荒野のセラより羔羊をシオンの女の山におくりて國の首にをさむべし
2 For it will be that as wandering birds, as a scattered nest, so will the daughters of Moab be at the fords of the Arnon.
モアブの女輩はアルノンの津にありてさまよふ鳥のごとく巣をおはれたる雛のごとくなるべし
3 Give counsel! Execute justice! Make your shade like the night in the middle of the noonday! Hide the outcasts! Don’t betray the fugitive!
相謀りて審判をおこなひ 亭午にもなんぢの蔭を夜のごとくならしめ 驅逐人をかくし 遁れきたるものを顯はすなかれ
4 Let my outcasts dwell with you! As for Moab, be a hiding place for him from the face of the destroyer. For the extortionist is brought to nothing. Destruction ceases. The oppressors are consumed out of the land.
わが驅逐人をなんぢとともに居しめ 汝モアブの避所となりて之をそこなふ者のまへより脱れしめよ 勒索者はうせ害ふものはたえ暴虐者は地より絶れん
5 A throne will be established in loving kindness. One will sit on it in truth, in the tent of David, judging, seeking justice, and swift to do righteousness.
ひとつの位あはれみをもて堅くたち眞實をおこなふ者そのうへに坐せん 彼ダビデの幕屋にをりて審判をなし公平をもとめて義をおこなふに速し
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab, that he is very proud; even of his arrogance, his pride, and his wrath. His boastings are nothing.
われらモアブの傲慢をきけり その高ぶること甚だし われらその誇とたかぶりと忿恚とをきけり その大言はむなし
7 Therefore Moab will wail for Moab. Everyone will wail. You will mourn for the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth, utterly stricken.
この故にモアブはモアブの爲になきさけび民みな哭さけぶべし なんぢら必らず甚だしく心をいためてキルハレステの乾葡萄のためになげくべし
8 For the fields of Heshbon languish with the vine of Sibmah. The lords of the nations have broken down its choice branches, which reached even to Jazer, which wandered into the wilderness. Its shoots were spread abroad. They passed over the sea.
そはヘシボンの畑とシブマのぶだうの樹とは凋みおとろへたり その枝さきにはヤゼルにまでいたりて荒野にはびこりのびて海をわたりしが 國々のもろもろの主その美はしき枝ををりたり
9 Therefore I will weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah. I will water you with my tears, Heshbon, and Elealeh: for on your summer fruits and on your harvest the battle shout has fallen.
この故にわれヤゼルの哭とひとしくシブマの葡萄の樹のためになかん ヘシボンよエレアレよわが涙なんぢをひたさん そは鬨聲なんぢが果物なんぢが收穫の實のうへにおちきたればなり
10 Gladness is taken away, and joy out of the fruitful field; and in the vineyards there will be no singing, neither joyful noise. Nobody will tread out wine in the presses. I have made the shouting stop.
欣喜とたのしみとは土肥たる畑より取さられ 葡萄園には謳ふことなく歡呼ばふことなく酒榨にはふみて酒をしぼるものなし 我そのよろこびたつる聲をやめしめたり
11 Therefore my heart sounds like a harp for Moab, and my inward parts for Kir Heres.
このゆゑにわが心腸はモアブの故をもて琴のごとく鳴ひびき キルハレスの故をもてわが衷もまた然り
12 It will happen that when Moab presents himself, when he wearies himself on the high place, and comes to his sanctuary to pray, that he will not prevail.
モアブは高處にいでて倦つかれその聖所にきたりて祈るべけれど驗あらじ
13 This is the word that the LORD spoke concerning Moab in time past.
こはヱホバが曩にモアブに就てかたりたまへる聖言なり
14 But now the LORD has spoken, saying, “Within three years, as a worker bound by contract would count them, the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant will be very small and feeble.”
されど今ヱホバかたりて言たまはくモアブの榮はその大なる群衆とともに傭人の期にひとしく 三年のうちに恥かしめをうけ 遺れる者はなはだ少なくして力なからん
