イザヤ書 15

1 モアブについての託宣。アルは一夜のうちに荒されて、モアブは滅びうせ、キルは一夜のうちに荒されて、モアブは滅びうせた。

The burden of Moab: For in the night of being laid waste, Ar of Moab is destroyed; for in the night of being laid waste, Kir of Moab is destroyed!

2 デボンの娘は高き所にのぼって泣き、モアブはネボとメデバの上で嘆き叫ぶ。おのおのその頭をかぶろにし、そのひげをことごとくそった。

He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep; Moab howleth over Nebo, and over Medeba; on all their heads is baldness, every beard is cut off.

3 彼らはそのちまたで荒布をまとい、その屋根または広場で、みな泣き叫び、涙に浸る。

In their streets they are girded with sackcloth; on their roofs, and in their broadways, every one howleth, melted into tears.

4 ヘシボンとエレアレとは叫び、その声はヤハズまで聞える。それゆえ、モアブの兵士は声をあげ、その魂はおののく。

And Heshbon crieth, and Elealeh: their voice is heard unto Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out: his soul trembleth in him.

5 わが心はモアブのために叫び呼ばわる。その落人はゾアルおよびエグラテ・シリシヤにのがれ、泣きながらルヒテの坂をのぼり、ホロナイムの道で滅びの叫びをあげる。

My heart crieth out for Moab; their fugitives [have fled] unto Zoar, unto Eglath-Sheli-shijah: for by the ascent of Luhith, with weeping they go up by it; for in the way of Horonaim they raise up a cry of destruction.

6 ニムリムの水はかわき、草は枯れ、苗は消えて、青い物はない。

For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate; for the herbage is withered away, the grass hath failed, there is no green thing.

7 それゆえ、彼らはその得た富と、そのたくわえた物とを携えて、柳の川をわたる。

Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, do they carry away to the torrent of the willows.

8 その叫びの声はモアブの境をめぐり、その嘆きの声はエグライムにいたり、またその嘆きの声はベエル・エリムにいたる。

For the cry goeth round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim.

9 デボンの水は血で満ちる。わたしはデボンの上にさらに災を加え、モアブののがれた者とこの地の残った者とに、ししを送る。

For the waters of Dimon are full of blood, for I will lay yet more upon Dimon: a lion upon them that are escaped of Moab, and upon that which remaineth of the land.
