Esias 15

1 THE WORD AGAINST THE LAND OF MOAB. By night the land of Moab shall be destroyed; for by night the wall of the land of Moab shall be destroyed.

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 Grieve for yourselves; for even Debon, where your altar is, shall be destroyed: thither shall ye go up to weep, over Nabau of the land of Moab: howl ye: baldness shall be on every head, [and] all arms [shall be] wounded.

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 Gird yourselves with sackcloth in her streets: and lament upon her roofs, and in her streets, and in her ways; howl all of you with weeping.

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 For Esebon and Eleale have cried: their voice was heard to Jassa: therefore the loins of the region of Moab cry aloud; her soul shall know.

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 The heart of the region of Moab cries within her to Segor; for it is [as] a heifer of three years old: and on the ascent of Luith they shall go up to thee weeping by the way of Aroniim: she cries, Destruction, and trembling.

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 The water of Nemerim shall be desolate, and the grass thereof shall fail: for there shall be no green grass.

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 Shall [Moab] even thus be delivered? for I [will] bring the Arabians upon the valley, and they shall take it.

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 reached the border of the region of Moab, [even] of Agalim; and her howling [has gone] as far as the well of Aelim.

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 And the water of Dimon shall be filled with blood: for I will bring Arabians upon Dimon, and I will take away the seed of Moab, and Ariel, and the remnant of Adama.

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
