イザヤ書 17
1 ダマスコにかかはる重負の預言 いはく／視よダマスコは邑のすがたをうしなひて荒墟となるべし
The burden of Damascus. “Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap.
2 アロエルの諸邑はすてられん獸畜のむれそこにすみてその伏やすめるをおびやかす者もなからん
The cities of Aroer are forsaken. They will be for flocks, which shall lie down, and no one shall make them afraid.
3 エフライムの城はすたりダマスコの政治はやみ スリアの遺れる者はイスラエルの子輩のさかえのごとく消うせん 是は萬軍のヱホバの聖言なり
The fortress shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria. They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,” says the LORD of Armies.
4 その日ヤコブの榮はおとろへその肥たる肉はやせて
“It will happen in that day that the glory of Jacob will be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh will become lean.
5 あだかも收穫人の麥をかりあつめ腕をもて穂をかりたる後のごとくレパイムの谷に穂をひろひたるあとの如くならん
It will be like when the harvester gathers the wheat, and his arm reaps the grain. Yes, it will be like when one gleans grain in the valley of Rephaim.
6 されど橄欖樹をうつとき二つ三の核を杪にのこし あるひは四つ五をみのりおほき樹の外面のえだに遺せるが如く採のこさるるものあるべし 是イスラエルの神ヱホバの聖言なり
Yet gleanings will be left there, like the shaking of an olive tree, two or three olives in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outermost branches of a fruitful tree,” says the LORD, the God of Israel.
7 その日人おのれを造れるものを仰ぎのぞみイスラエルの聖者に目をとめん
In that day, people will look to their Maker, and their eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.
8 斯ておのれの手の工なる祭壇をあふぎ望まず おのれの指のつくりたるアシラの像と日の像とに目をとめじ
They will not look to the altars, the work of their hands; neither shall they respect that which their fingers have made, either the Asherah poles or the incense altars.
9 その日かれが堅固なるまちまちは 昔イスラエルの子輩をさけてすてさりたる森のなか嶺のうへに今のこれる荒跡のごとく荒地となるべし
In that day, their strong cities will be like the forsaken places in the woods and on the mountain top, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel; and it will be a desolation.
10 そは汝おのがすくひの神をわすれ 己がちからとなるべき磐を心にとめざりしによる このゆゑになんぢ美くしき植物をうゑ異やうの枝をさし
For you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and have not remembered the rock of your strength. Therefore you plant pleasant plants, and set out foreign seedlings.
11 かつ植たる日に籬をまはし朝に芽をいださしむれども 患難の日といたましき憂の日ときたりて收穫の果はとびさらん
In the day of your planting, you hedge it in. In the morning, you make your seed blossom, but the harvest flees away in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
12 唉おほくの民はなりどよめけり海のなりどよめく如くかれらも鳴動めけり もろもろの國はなりひびけり大水のなりひびくが如くかれらも鳴響けり
Ah, the uproar of many peoples who roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations that rush like the rushing of mighty waters!
13 もろもろの國はおほくの水のなりひびくがごとく鳴響かん されど神かれらを攻たまふべし かれら遠くのがれて風にふきさらるる山のうへの粃糠のごとく また旋風にふきさらるる塵のごとくならん
The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters, but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far off, and will be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.
14 視よゆふぐれに恐怖あり いまだ黎明にいたらずして彼等は亡たり これ我儕をかすむる者のうくべき報われらを奪ふもののひくべき鬮なり
At evening, behold, terror! Before the morning, they are no more. This is the portion of those who plunder us, and the lot of those who rob us.
