Isaiah 16
1 O Lord, send forth the Lamb, the Ruler of the earth, from the Rock of the desert to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
なんぢら荒野のセラより羔羊をシオンの女の山におくりて國の首にをさむべし
2 And this shall be: like a bird fleeing away, and like fledglings flying from the nest, so will the daughters of Moab be at the passage of Arnon.
モアブの女輩はアルノンの津にありてさまよふ鳥のごとく巣をおはれたる雛のごとくなるべし
3 Form a plan. Call a council. Let your shadow be as if it were night, even at midday. Conceal the fugitives, and do not betray the wanderers.
相謀りて審判をおこなひ亭午にもなんぢの蔭を夜のごとくならしめ驅逐人をかくし遁れきたるものを顯はすなかれ
4 My fugitives will live with you. Become a hiding place, O Moab, from the face of the destroyer. For the dust is at its end; the miserable one has been consumed. He who trampled the earth has failed.
わが驅逐人をなんぢとともに居しめ汝モアブの避所となりて之をそこなふ者のまへより脱れしめよ勒索者はうせ害ふものはたえ暴虐者は地より絶れん
5 And a throne will be prepared in mercy, and One shall sit upon it in truth, in the tabernacle of David, judging and seeking judgment, and quickly repaying what is just.
ひとつの位あはれみをもて堅くたち眞實をおこなふ者そのうヘに坐せん彼ダビデの幕屋にをりて審判をなし公平をもとめて義をおこなふに速し
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud. His pride and his arrogance and his indignation is more than his strength.
われらモアブの傲慢をきけりその高ぶること甚だしわれらその誇とたかぶりと忿恚とをきけりその大言はむなし
7 For this reason, Moab will wail to Moab; each one will wail. Speak of their wounds to those who rejoice upon the brick walls.
この故にモアブはモアブの爲になきさけび民みな哭さけぶべしなんぢら必らず甚だしく心をいためてキルハレステの乾葡萄のためになげくべし
8 For the suburbs of Heshbon are deserted, and the lords of the Gentiles have cut down the vineyard of Sibmah. Its vines have arrived even at Jazer. They have wandered in the desert. Its seedlings have been abandoned. They have crossed over the sea.
そはヘシボンの畑とシブマのぶだうの樹とは凋みおとろヘたりその枝さきにはヤゼルにまでいたりて荒野にはびこりのびて海をわたりしが國々のもろもろの主その美はしき枝ををりたり
9 I will weep with the tears of Jazer over this, the vineyard of Sibmah. I will inebriate you with my tears, Heshbon and Elealeh! For the sound of those who trample has rushed over your vintage and over your harvest.
この故にわれヤゼルの哭とひとしくシブマの葡萄の樹のためになかんヘシボンよエレアレよわが涙なんぢをひたさんそは鬨聲なんぢが果物なんぢが收穫の實のうへにおちきたればなり
10 And so, rejoicing and exultation will be taken away from Carmel, and there will be no jubilation or exultation in the vineyards. He who was accustomed to tread will not tread out the wine in the winepress. I have taken away the sound of those who tread.
欣喜とたのしみとは土肥たる畑より取さられ葡萄園には謳ふことなく歡呼ばふことなく酒榨にはふみて酒をしぼるものなし我そのよろこびたつる聲をやめしめたり
11 Over this, my heart will resonate like a harp for Moab, and my inner most being for the brick wall.
このゆゑにわが心腸はモアブの故をもて琴のごとく鳴ひびきキルハレスの故をもてわが衷もまた然り
12 And this shall be: when it is seen that Moab has struggled upon his high places, he will enter his holy places to pray, but he will not prevail.
モアブは高處にいでて倦つかれその聖所にきたりて祈るべけれど驗あらじ
13 This is the word that the Lord has spoken to Moab concerning that time.
こはヱホバが曩にモアブに就てかたりたまへる聖言なり
14 And now the Lord has spoken, saying: In three years, like the years of a hired hand, the glory of Moab concerning the entire multitude of the people will be taken away, and what is left behind will be small and weak and not so numerous.
されど今ヱホバかたりて言たまはくモアブの榮はその大なる群衆とともに傭人の期にひとしく三年のうちに恥かしめをうけ遺れる者はなはだ少なくして力なからん
