イザヤ書 34

1 もろもろの國よちかづきてきけ もろもろの民よ耳をかたぶけよ 地と地にみつるもの世界とせかいより出るすべての者きけ

Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye peoples: let the earth hear, and all its fulness; the world, and all that cometh forth of it.

2 ヱホバはよろづの國にむかひて怒り そのよろづの軍にむかひて忿恚り かれらをことごとく滅し かれらを屠らしめたまふ

For the wrath of Jehovah is against all the nations, and [his] fury against all their armies: he hath devoted them to destruction, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.

3 かれらは殺されて抛棄られ その屍の臭氣たちのぼり山はその血にて融されん

And their slain shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up from their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.

4 天の萬象はきえうせ もろもろの天は書巻のごとくにまかれん その萬象のおつるは葡萄の葉のおつるがごとく無花果のかれたる葉のおつるが如くならん

And all the host of the heavens shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll; and all their host shall fade away, as a leaf fadeth from off the vine, and as the withered [fruit] from the fig-tree.

5 わが劍は天にてうるほひたり 視よエドムの上にくだり滅亡に定めたる民のうへにくだりて之をさばかん

For my sword is bathed in the heavens; behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of my ban, to judgment.

6 ヱホバの劍は血にてみち脂にてこえ小羊と山羊との血 牡羊の腎のあぶらにて肥ゆ ヱホバはボズラにて牲のけものをころしエドムの地にて大にほふることをなし給へり

The sword of Jehovah is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for Jehovah hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

7 その屠場には野牛 こうし 牡牛もともに下る そのくには血にてうるほされ その塵はあぶらにて肥さるべし

And the buffaloes shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

8 こはヱホバの仇をかへしたまふ日にしてシオンの訟のために報をなしたまふ年なり

For it is the day of Jehovah's vengeance, the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion.

9 エドムのもろもろの河はかはりて樹脂となり その塵はかはりて硫磺となり その土はかはりてもゆる樹脂となり

And the torrents thereof shall be turned into pitch, and its dust into brimstone; yea, the land thereof shall become burning pitch:

10 晝も夜もきえずその烟つくる期なく上騰らん かくて世々あれすたれ永遠までもその所をすぐる者なかるべし

it shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.

11 鵜と刺猬とそこを己がものとなし鷺と鴉とそこにすまん ヱホバそのうへに亂をおこす繩をはり空虛をきたらする錘をさげ給ふべし

And the pelican and the bittern shall possess it, and the great owl and the raven shall dwell in it. And he shall stretch out upon it the line of waste, and the plummets of emptiness.

12 國をつぐべき者をたてんとて貴者ふたたび呼集ることをせじ もろもろの諸侯はみな失てなくなるべし

Of her nobles who should proclaim the kingdom, none are there; and all her princes shall be nought.

13 その殿にはことごとく荊はえ 城にはことごとく刺草と薊とはえ 野犬のすみか駝鳥の場とならん

And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in her fortresses; and it shall be a dwelling-place of wild dogs, a court for ostriches.

14 野のけものと豺狼とここにあひ 牡山羊その友をよび 鴟鴞もまた宿りてここを安所とせん

And there shall the beasts of the desert meet with the jackals, and the wild goat shall cry to his fellow; the lilith also shall settle there, and find for herself a place of rest.

15 蛇ここに穴をつくり卵をうみてこれを孚しおのれの影の下に子をあつむ 鳶もまたその偶とともに此處にあつまらん

There shall the arrow-snake make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow; there also shall the vultures be gathered one with another.

16 なんぢらヱホバの書をつまびらかにたづねて讀べし これらのもの一つも缺ることなく又ひとつもその偶をかくものあらじ そはヱホバの口このことを命じ その靈これらを集めたまふべければなり

Search ye in the book of Jehovah and read: not one of these shall fail, one shall not have to seek for the other; for my mouth, it hath commanded, and his Spirit, it hath gathered them.

17 ヱホバこれらのものに鬮をひかせ手づから繩をもて量り この地をわけあたへて永くかれらに保たしめ 世々にいたるまでここに住しめたまはん

For he himself hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them with the line: they shall possess it for ever; from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
