Isaiah 15

1 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.

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

2 They have gone up to Bayith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep. Moab wails over Nebo, and over Medeba. On all their heads is baldness. Every beard is cut off.

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

3 In their streets they gird themselves with sackcloth. On their housetops, and in their broad places, everyone wails, weeping abundantly.

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

4 And Heshbon cries out, and Elealeh. Their voice is heard even to Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud. His soul trembles within him.

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

5 My heart cries out for Moab. Her nobles flee to Zoar, to Eglath-shelishi-yah. For they go up with weeping by the ascent of Luhith. For they raise up a cry of destruction in the way of Horonaim.

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

6 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate, for the grass is withered away. The tender grass fails. There is no green thing.

ニムリムの水はかわき草はかれ苗はつきて緑蔬あらず

7 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, they shall carry away over the brook of the willows.

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

8 For the cry has gone round about the borders of Moab, the wailing of it to Eglaim, and the wailing of it to Beer-elim.

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

9 For the waters of Dimon are full of blood. For I will bring yet more upon Dimon, a lion upon those of Moab who escape, and upon the remnant of the land.

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
