ハバクク書 2

1 我わが觀望所に立ち戍樓に身を置ん 而して我候ひ望みて其われに何と宣まふかを見 わが訴言に我みづから何と答ふべきかを見ん

I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

2 ヱホバわれに答へて言たまはく 此默示を書しるして之を板の上に明白に鐫つけ奔りながらも之を讀むべからしめよ

And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that reads it.

3 この默示はなほ定まれる時を俟てその終を急ぐなり 僞ならず 若し遲くあらば待べし 必ず臨むべし 濡滯りはせじ

For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

4 視よ彼の心は高ぶりその中にありて直からず 然ど義き者はその信仰によりて活べし

Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

5 かの酒に耽る者は邪曲なる者なり 驕傲者にして安んぜず彼はその情慾を陰府のごとくに濶くす また彼は死のごとし 又足ことを知ず 萬國を集へて己に歸せしめ萬民を聚めて己に就しむ (Sheol h7585)

Yea also, because he trangresses by wine, he is a proud man, neither keeps at home, who enlarges his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathers unto him all nations, and heaps unto him all people: (Sheol h7585)

6 其等の民みな諺語をもて彼を評し嘲弄の詩歌をもて彼を諷せざらんや 即ち言ん己に屬せざる物を積累ぬる者は禍なるかな 斯て何の時にまでおよばんや 嗟かの質物の重荷を身に負ふ者よ

Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increases that which is not his! how long? and to him that loads himself with thick clay!

7 汝を噬む者にはかに興らざらんや 汝を惱ます者醒出ざらんや 汝は之に掠めらるべし

Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite you, and awake that shall vex you, and you shall be for booties unto them?

8 汝衆多の國民を掠めしに因てその諸の民の遺れる者なんぢを掠めん 是人の血を流ししに因る また強暴を地上に行ひて邑とその内に住る一切の者とに及ぼせしに因るなり

Because you have spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil you; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.

9 災禍の手を免れんが爲に高き處に巣を構へんとして己の家に不義の利を取る者は禍なるかな

Woe to him that covers an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!

10 汝は事を圖りて己の家に恥辱を來らせ衆多の民を滅して自ら罪を取れり

You have consulted shame to your house by cutting off many people, and have sinned against your soul.

11 石垣の石叫び建物の梁これに應へん

For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.

12 血をもて邑を建て惡をもて城を築く者は禍なるかな

Woe to him that builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!

13 諸の民は火のために勞し諸の國人は虚空事のために疲る 是は萬軍のヱホバより出る者ならずや

Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?

14 ヱホバの榮光を認むるの知識地上に充て宛然海を水の掩ふが如くならん

For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

15 人に酒を飮せ己の忿怒を酌和へて之を酔せ而して之が陰所を見んとする者は禍なるかな

Woe unto him that gives his neighbour drink, that put your bottle to him, and make him drunken also, that you may look on their nakedness!

16 汝は榮譽に飽ずして羞辱に飽り 汝もまた飮て汝の不割禮を露はせ ヱホバの右の手の杯汝に巡り來るべし 汝は汚なき物を吐て榮耀を掩はん

You are filled with shame for glory: drink you also, and let your foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD's right hand shall be turned unto you, and shameful spewing shall be on your glory.

17 汝がレバノンに爲たる強暴と獣を懼れしめしその殲滅とは汝の上に報いきたるべし 是人の血を流ししに因りまた強暴を地上に行ひて邑とその内に住る一切の者とに及ぼししに因るなり

For the violence of Lebanon shall cover you, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.

18 雕像はその作者これを刻みたりとて何の益あらんや 又鑄像および僞師は語はぬ偶像なればその像の作者これを作りて賴むとも何の益あらんや

What profits the graven image that the maker thereof has graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusts therein, to make dumb idols?

19 木にむかひて興ませと言ひ 語はぬ石にむかひて起たまへと言ふ者は禍なるかな 是あに敎晦を爲んや 視よ是は金銀に着せたる者にてその中には全く氣息なし

Woe unto him that says to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.

20 然りといへどもヱホバはその聖殿に在ますぞかし 全地その御前に默すべし

But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
