Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.
アモツの子イザヤが示されたるバビロンにかかる重負の預言
2 Set ye up an ensign upon the bare mountain. Lift up the voice to them. Wave the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
なんぢらかぶろの山に旂をたて聲をあげ手をふり彼等をまねきて貴族の門にいらしめよ
3 I have commanded my consecrated ones, yea, I have called my mighty men for my anger, even my proudly exulting ones.
われ既にきよめ別ちたるものに命じわが丈夫ほこりかにいさめる者をよびてわが怒をもらさしむ
4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as of a great people! The noise of a tumult of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together! Jehovah of hosts is mustering the army for the battle.
山におほくの人の聲きこゆ大なる民あるがごとし もろもろの國民のよりつどひて喧めく聲きこゆ これ萬軍のヱホバたたかひの軍兵を召したまふなり
5 They come from a far country, from the outermost part of heaven, even Jehovah, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
かれらはとほき國より天の極よりきたる これヱホバとその忿恚をもらす器とともに全國をほろぼさんとて來るなり
6 Wail ye, for the day of Jehovah is at hand. It shall come as destruction from the Almighty.
なんぢら泣號ぶべしヱホバの日ちかづき全能者よりいづる敗亡きたるべければなり
7 Therefore all hands shall be feeble, and every heart of man shall melt.
この故にすべての手はたれ凡の人のこころは消ゆかん
8 And they shall be dismayed. Pangs and sorrows shall take hold. They shall be in pain as a woman in travail. They shall look in amazement one at another, their faces, faces of flame.
かれら慴きおそれ艱難と憂とにせまられ子をうまんとする婦のごとく苦しみ互におどろき相みあひてその面は燄のごとくならん
9 Behold, the day of Jehovah comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger, to make the land a desolation, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
視よヱホバの日苛くして忿恚とはげしき怒とをもて來り この國をあらしその中よりつみびとを絶滅さん
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations of it shall not give their light. The sun shall be darkened in its going forth, and the moon shall not cause its light to shine.
天のもろもろの星とほしの宿は光をはなたず 日はいでてくらく月はその光をかがやかさざるべし
11 And I will punish the world for the evil, and the wicked for their iniquity. And I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
われ惡ことのために世をつみし不義のために惡きものをばつし驕れるものの誇をとどめ暴ぶるものの傲慢をひくくせん
12 I will make a man more rare than fine gold, even a man than the pure gold of Ophir.
われ人をして精金よりもすくなくオフルの黄金よりも少なからしめん
13 Therefore I will make the heavens to tremble, and the earth shall be shaken out of its place, in the wrath of Jehovah of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
かくて亦われ萬軍のヱホバの忿恚のとき烈しき怒りの日に天をふるはせ地をうごかしてその處をうしなはしむべし
14 And it shall come to pass, that as the chased roe, and as sheep that no man gathers, they shall turn every man to his own people, and shall flee every man to his own land.
かれらは逐るる鹿のごとく集むるものなき羊のごとくなりて各自おのれの民にかへりおのれの國にのがれゆかん
15 Everyone who is found shall be thrust through, and everyone who is taken shall fall by the sword.
すべて其處にあるもの見出さるれば刺れ拘留らるるものは劍にたふされ
16 Their infants also shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes. Their houses shall be rifled, and their wives ravished.
彼等の嬰兒はその目前にてなげくだかれその家財はかすめうばはれその妻はけがさるべし
17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not regard silver, and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
視よわれ白銀をもかへりみず黄金をもよろこばざるメデア人をおこして之にむかはしめん
18 And their bows shall dash the young men in pieces. And they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
かれらは弓をもて若きものを射くだき腹の實をあはれむことなく小子をみてをしむことなし
19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans' pride, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
すべての國の中にてうるはしくカルデヤ人がほこり飾となせるバビロンはむかし神にほろぼされたるソドム、ゴモラのごとくならん
20 It shall never be inhabited, nor shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation. Neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there, nor shall shepherds make their flocks to lie down there.
ここに住むもの永くたえ世々にいたるまで居ものなくアラビヤ人もかしこに幕屋をはらず牧人もまたかしこにはその群をふさすることなく
21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there, and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures. And ostriches shall dwell there, and wild goats shall dance there.
ただ猛獸かしこにふし吼るものその家にみち鴕鳥かしこにすみ牡山羊かしこに躍らん
22 And wolves shall cry in their castles, and jackals in the pleasant palaces. And her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
豺狼その城のなかになき野犬えいぐわの宮にさけばんその時のいたるは近きにありその日は延ることなかるべし
