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 at my watch, and set myself on the ramparts, and will look out to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer concerning my complaint.
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
The LORD answered me, "Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he who runs may read 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 the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won't prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come, and it won't delay.
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
Look, if he holds back, my soul has no pleasure in him, but the righteous will live by 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)
And moreover, wealth is treacherous; a proud man will not endure. He enlarges his desire as Sheol, and he is like death, and can't be satisfied. He gathers all nations to himself, and collects to himself all peoples. (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
Won't all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, 'Woe to him who increases that which is not his, and who enriches himself by extortion. How long?'
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
Won't your debtors rise up suddenly, and wake up those who make you tremble, and you will be their victim?
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 plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples will plunder you, because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell in it.
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 who gets an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand 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 devised shame to your house, by cutting off many peoples, 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 will cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the woodwork will 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 who 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
Look, isn't it of the LORD of hosts that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for 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 will 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 to him who gives his neighbor drink, pouring your inflaming wine until they are drunk, so that you may gaze at their naked bodies.
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, and not glory. You will also drink, and be exposed. The cup of the LORD's right hand will come around to you, and disgrace will cover 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 done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of the animals, which made them afraid; because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, to every city and to those who dwell in them.
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 value does the engraved image have, that its maker has engraved it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute 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 to him who says to the wood, 'Awake.' or to the mute stone, 'Arise.' Shall this teach? Look, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in its midst.
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 be silent before him."
