イザヤ書 15

1 モアブにかかる重負のよげん 曰く／モアブのアルは一夜の間にあらされて亡びうせ モアブのキルは一夜のまに荒されてほろびうせん

The burden of Moab: for in a night, Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing; for in a night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nothing.

2 かれバイテおよびデボンの高所にのぼりて哭き モアブはネボ及びメデバの上にてなげきさけぶ おのおのその頭を禿にしその鬚をことごとく剃たり

They have gone up to the temple, and to Dibon, to the high places to weep. Moab wails over Nebo and over Medeba. On every head is baldness. Every beard is cut off.

3 かれら麁服をきてその衢にあり 屋蓋または廣きところにて皆なきさけび悲しむこと甚だし

In their streets, they dress themselves in sackcloth; on their roofs and in their squares, everyone wails, weeping abundantly.

4 ヘシボンとエレアレと叫びてその聲ヤハズにまで聞ゆ この故にモアブの軍兵こゑをあげ その靈魂うちに在てをののけり

Heshbon cries out with Elealeh. Their voice is heard even to Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud. Their souls tremble within them.

5 わが心モアブのために叫びよばはれり その貴族はゾアルおよびヱグラテシリシヤにのがれ 哭つつルヒテの坂をのぼり ホロナイムの途にて敗亡の聲をあぐ

My heart cries out for Moab. Her Nazirites flee to Zoar, to Eglath Shelishiyah; for they go up by the ascent of Luhith with weeping; for in the way of Horonaim, they raise up a cry of destruction.

6 ニムリムの水はかわき草はかれ苗はつきて緑蔬あらず

For the waters of Nimrim will be desolate; for the grass has withered away, the tender grass fails, there is no green thing.

7 このゆゑに彼等はその獲たる富とその藏めたる物をたづさへて柳の河をわたらん

Therefore they will carry away the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have stored up, over the Brook of the Willows.

8 その泣號のこゑはモアブの境をめぐり 悲歎のこゑはエグライムにいたり なげきの聲はべエルエリムにいたる

For the cry has gone around the borders of Moab; its wailing as far as Eglaim, and its wailing as far as Beer Elim.

9 デモンの水は血にて充 われデモンの上にひとしほ禍害をくはへ モアブの遁れたる者とこの地の遺りたるものとに獅をおくらん

For the waters of Dibon are full of blood; for I will bring yet more on Dibon, a lion on those of Moab who escape, and on the remnant of the land.
