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。

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.

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。

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

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。

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。

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。

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、草は枯れ、苗は消えて、青い物はない。

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

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。

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。

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。
