Zephaniah 3
1 Woe to the city of oppressors, rebellious and defiled!
此暴虐を行ふ悖りかつ汚れたる邑は禍なるかな
2 She heeded no voice; she accepted no correction. She does not trust in the LORD; she has not drawn near to her God.
是は聲を聽いれず敎晦を承ずヱホバに依賴まずおのれの神に近よらず
3 Her princes are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves, leaving nothing for the morning.
その中にをる牧伯等は吼る獅子の如くその審士は明旦までに何をも遺さざる 夜求食する狼のごとし
4 Her prophets are reckless, faithless men. Her priests profane the sanctuary; they do violence to the law.
その預言者は傲りかつ詐る人なり その祭司は聖物を汚し律法を破ることをなせり
5 The LORD within her is righteous; He does no wrong. He applies His justice morning by morning; He does not fail at dawn, yet the unjust know no shame.
その中にいますヱホバは義くして不義を行なひたまはず朝な朝な己の公義を顯して缺ることなし 然るに不義なる者は恥を知ず
6 “I have cut off the nations; their corner towers are destroyed. I have made their streets deserted with no one to pass through. Their cities are laid waste, with no man, no inhabitant.
我國々の民を滅したればその櫓は凡て荒たり 我これが街を荒凉れしめたれば往來する者なし その邑々は滅びて人なく住む者なきに至れり
7 I said, ‘Surely you will fear Me and accept correction.’ Then her dwelling place would not be cut off despite all for which I punished her. But they rose early to corrupt all their deeds.
われ前に言り 汝ただ我を畏れまた警敎を受べし 然らばその住家は我が凡て之につきて定めたる所の如くに滅されざるべしと 然るに彼等は夙に起て己の一切の行状を壞れり
8 Therefore wait for Me,” declares the LORD, “until the day I rise to testify. For My decision is to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms, to pour out upon them My indignation— all My burning anger. For all the earth will be consumed by the fire of My jealousy.
ヱホバ曰たまふ 是ゆゑに汝らわが起て獲物をする日いたるまで我を俟て 我もろもろの民を集へ諸の國を聚めてわが憤恨とわが烈き忿怒を盡くその上にそそがんと思ひ定む 全地はわが嫉妬の火に燒ほろぼさるべし
9 For then I will restore pure lips to the peoples, that all may call upon the name of the LORD and serve Him shoulder to shoulder.
その時われ國々の民に清き唇をあたへ彼らをして凡てヱホバの名を呼しめ心をあはせて之につかへしめん
10 From beyond the rivers of Cush My worshipers, My scattered people, will bring Me an offering.
わが散せし者等の女即ち我を拜む者エテオピアの河々の彼旁よりもきたりて我に禮ものをささぐべし
11 On that day you will not be put to shame for any of the deeds by which you have transgressed against Me. For then I will remove from among you those who rejoice in their pride, and you will never again be haughty on My holy mountain.
その日には汝われに對てをかしきたりし諸の行爲をもて羞を得ことなかるべし その時には我なんぢの中より高ぶり樂む者等を除けば汝かさねてわが聖山にて傲り高ぶることなければなり
12 But I will leave within you a meek and humble people, and they will trust in the name of the LORD.
われ柔和にして貧き民をなんぢの中にのこさん 彼らはヱホバの名に依賴むべし
13 The remnant of Israel will no longer do wrong or speak lies, nor will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouths. But they will feed and lie down, with no one to make them tremble.”
イスラエルの遺れる者は惡を行はず 謊をいはず その口のうちには詐僞の舌なし 彼らは草食ひ臥やすまん 之を懼れしむる者なかるべし
14 Sing for joy, O Daughter of Zion; shout aloud, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O Daughter of Jerusalem!
シオンの女よ歡喜の聲を擧よ イスラエルよ樂み呼はれ エルサレムの女よ心のかぎり喜び樂め
15 The LORD has taken away your punishment; He has turned back your enemy. Israel’s King, the LORD, is among you; no longer will you fear any harm.
ヱホバすでに汝の鞫を止め汝の敵を逐はらひたまへり イスラエルの王ヱホバ汝の中にいます 汝はかさねて災禍にあふことあらじ
16 On that day they will say to Jerusalem: “Do not fear, O Zion; do not let your hands fall limp.
その日にはエルサレムに向ひて言あらん 懼るるなかれ シオンよ 汝の手をしなえ垂るるなかれと
17 The LORD your God is among you; He is mighty to save. He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you with His love; He will rejoice over you with singing.”
なんぢの神ヱホバなんぢの中にいます 彼は拯救を施す勇士なり 彼なんぢのために喜び樂み愛の餘りに默し汝のために喜びて呼はりたまふ
18 “I will gather those among you who grieve over the appointed feasts, so that you will no longer suffer reproach.
われ節會のことにつきて憂ふるものを集めん 彼等は汝より出し者なり 恥辱かれらに蒙むること重負のごとし
19 Behold, at that time, I will deal with all who afflict you. I will save the lame and gather the scattered; and I will appoint praise and fame for the disgraced throughout the earth.
視よその時われ汝を虐遇る者を盡く處置し足蹇たるものを救ひ逐はなたれたる者を集め彼らをして其羞辱を蒙りし一切の國にて稱譽を得させ名を得さすべし
20 At that time I will bring you in; yes, at that time I will gather you. For I will give you fame and praise among all the peoples of the earth when I restore your captives before your very eyes,”
その時われ汝らを携へその時われ汝らを集むべし 我なんぢらの目の前において汝らの俘囚をかへし汝らをして地上の萬國に名を得させ稱譽を得さすべし ヱホバこれを言ふ
