Esias 3
1 Behold now, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, will take away from Jerusalem and from Judea the mighty man and mighty woman, the strength of bread, and the strength of water,
見よ、主、万軍の主はエルサレムとユダからささえとなり、頼みとなるものすべてささえとなるパン、すべてささえとなる水を取り去られる。
2 the great and mighty man, the warrior and the judge, and the prophet, and the counsellor, and the elder,
すなわち勇士と軍人、裁判官と預言者、占い師と長老、
3 the captain of fifty also, and the honourable counsellor, and the wise artificer, and the intelligent hearer.
五十人の長と身分の高い人、議官と巧みな魔術師、老練なまじない師を取り去られる。
4 And I will make youths their princes, and mockers shall have dominion over them.
わたしはわらべを立てて彼らの君とし、みどりごに彼らを治めさせる。
5 And the people shall fall, man upon man, and [every] man upon his neighbour: the child shall insult the elder man, and the base the honourable.
民は互に相しえたげ、人はおのおのその隣をしえたげ、若い者は老いたる者にむかって高ぶり、卑しい者は尊い者にむかって高ぶる。
6 For a man shall lay hold of his brother, as one of his father's household, saying, You have raiment, be you our ruler, and let my meat be under you.
その時、人はその父の家で、兄弟をつかまえて言う、「あなたは外套を持っている、わたしたちのつかさびとになって、この荒れ跡をあなたの手で治めてください」と。
7 And he shall answer in that day, and say, I will not be your ruler; for I have no bread in my house, nor raiment: I will not be the ruler of this people.
その日、彼は声をあげて言う、「わたしはいやす者となることはできません、わたしの家にはパンもなく、外套もありません、わたしを立てて、民のつかさびとにしないでください」。
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judea has fallen, and their tongues [have spoken] with iniquity, disobedient [as they are] towards the Lord.
これは彼らの言葉と行いとが主にそむき、その栄光の目をおかしたので、エルサレムはつまずき、ユダは倒れたからである。
9 Therefore now their glory has been brought low, and the shame of their countenance has withstood them, and they have proclaimed their sin as Sodom, and made it manifest.
彼らの不公平は彼らにむかって不利なあかしをし、ソドムのようにその罪をあらわして隠さない。わざわいなるかな、彼らはみずから悪の報いをうけた。
10 Woe to their soul, for they have devised an evil counsel against themselves, saying against themselves, Let us bind the just, for he is burdensome to us: therefore shall they eat the fruits of their works.
正しい人に言え、彼らはさいわいであると。彼らはその行いの実を食べるからである。
11 Woe to the transgressor! evils shall happen to him according to the works of his hands.
悪しき者はわざわいだ、彼は災をうける。その手のなした事が彼に報いられるからである。
12 O my people, your exactors strip you, and extortioners rule over you: O my people, they that pronounce you blesses lead you astray, and pervert the path of your feet.
わが民は幼な子にしえたげられ、女たちに治められる。ああ、わが民よ、あなたを導く者はかえって、あなたを迷わせ、あなたの行くべき道を混乱させる。
13 But now the Lord will stand up for judgement, and will enter into judgement with his people.
主は言い争うために立ちあがり、その民をさばくために立たれる。
14 The Lord himself shall enter into judgement with the elders of the people, and with their rulers: but why have you set my vineyard on fire, and [why is] the spoil of the poor in your houses?
主はその民の長老と君たちとをさばいて、「あなたがたは、ぶどう畑を食い荒した。貧しい者からかすめとった物は、あなたがたの家にある。
15 Why do you wrong my people, and shame the face of the poor?
なぜ、あなたがたはわが民を踏みにじり、貧しい者の顔をすり砕くのか」と万軍の神、主は言われる。
16 Thus says the Lord, Because the daughters of Sion are haughty, and have walked with an outstretched neck, and with winking of the eyes, and motion of the feet, at the same time drawing their garments in trains, and at the same time sporting with their feet:
主は言われた、シオンの娘らは高ぶり、首をのばしてあるき、目でこびをおくり、その行くとき気どって歩き、その足でりんりんと鳴り響かす。
17 therefore the Lord will humble the chief daughters of Sion, and the Lord will expose their form in that day;
それゆえ、主はシオンの娘らの頭を撃って、かさぶたでおおい、彼らの隠れた所をあらわされる。
18 and the Lord will take away the glory of their raiment, the curls and the fringes, and the crescents,
その日、主は彼らの美しい装身具と服装すなわち、くるぶし輪、髪ひも、月形の飾り、
19 and the chains, and the ornaments of their faces,
耳輪、腕輪、顔おおい、
20 and the array of glorious ornaments, and the armlets, and the bracelets, and the wreathed work, and the finger-rings, and the ornaments for the right hand,
頭飾り、すね飾り、飾り帯、香箱、守り袋、
21 and the ear-rings, and the garments with scarlet borders, and the garments with purple grounds, and the shawls to be worn in the house, and the Spartan transparent dresses, and those made of fine linen, and the purple [ones], and the scarlet [ones], and the fine linen, interwoven with gold and purple, and the light coverings for couches.
指輪、鼻輪、
22 And there shall be instead of a sweet smell, dust; and instead of a girdle, you shall gird yourself with a rope; and instead of a golden ornament for the head, you shall have baldness on account of your works; and instead of a tunic with a scarlet ground, you shall gird yourself with sackcloth.
礼服、外套、肩掛、手さげ袋、
23 And your most beautiful son whom you love shall fall by the sword; and your mighty men shall fall by the sword, and shall be brought low.
薄織の上着、亜麻布の着物、帽子、被衣などを取り除かれる。
24 And the stores of your ornaments shall mourn, and you shall be left alone, and shall be levelled with the ground.
芳香はかわって、悪臭となり、帯はかわって、なわとなり、よく編んだ髪はかわって、かぶろとなり、はなやかな衣はかわって、荒布の衣となり、美しい顔はかわって、焼き印された顔となる。
あなたの男たちはつるぎに倒れ、あなたの勇士たちは戦いに倒れる。
シオンの門は嘆き悲しみ、シオンは荒れすたれて、地に座する。
