Isaiah 15

1 The burden of Moab: For in the night of being laid waste, Ar of Moab is destroyed; for in the night of being laid waste, Kir of Moab is 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 He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep; Moab howleth over Nebo, and over Medeba; on all their heads is baldness, every beard is cut off.

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 In their streets they are girded with sackcloth; on their roofs, and in their broadways, every one howleth, melted into tears.

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 And Heshbon crieth, and Elealeh: their voice is heard unto Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out: his soul trembleth in him.

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 My heart crieth out for Moab; their fugitives [have fled] unto Zoar, unto Eglath-Sheli-shijah: for by the ascent of Luhith, with weeping they go up by it; for in the way of Horonaim they raise up a cry of destruction.

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 For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate; for the herbage is withered away, the grass hath failed, there is no green thing.

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 Therefore the abundance they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, do they carry away to the torrent of the willows.

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 goeth round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim, and the howling thereof unto Beer-elim.

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 For the waters of Dimon are full of blood, for I will lay yet more upon Dimon: a lion upon them that are escaped of Moab, and upon that which remaineth of the land.

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
