Isaiah 24
1 Behold, Jehovah maketh the land empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad its inhabitants.
視よヱホバこの地をむなしからしめ荒廢れしめこれを覆へしてその民をちらしたまふ
2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with him from whom usury is taken.
かくて民も祭司もひとしく 僕も主もひとしく 下婢も主婦もひとしく 買ものも賣ものもひとしく 貸ものも借ものもひとしく 利をはたるものも利をいだす者もひとしくこの事にあふべし
3 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled; for Jehovah hath spoken this word.
地はことごとく空しくことごとく掠められん こはヱホバの言たまへるなり
4 The land mourneth, it fadeth away; the world languisheth, it fadeth away: the haughty people of the land do languish.
地はうれへおとろへ世は萎おとろへ地のたふときものも萎はてたり
5 And the land is polluted under the inhabitants thereof; for they have violated the laws, changed the statute, broken the everlasting covenant.
民おきてにそむき法ををかし とこしへの契約をやぶりたるがゆゑに 地はその下にけがされたり
6 Therefore doth the curse devour the earth, and they that dwell therein are held guilty; therefore the inhabitants of the earth are consumed, and few men are left.
このゆゑに呪詛は地をのみつくしそこに住るものは罪をうけまた地の民はやかれて僅かばかり遺れり
7 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all that were merry-hearted do sigh;
あたらしき酒はうれへ葡萄はなえ 心たのしめるものはみな歎息せざるはなし
8 the mirth of tambours ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
鼓のおとは寂まり歡ぶものの聲はやみ琴の音もまたしづまれり
9 They do not drink wine with a song; strong drink is bitter to them that drink it.
彼等はふたたび歌うたひ酒のまず濃酒はこれをのむものに苦くなるべし
10 The city of solitude is broken down; every house is shut up, so that none entereth in.
騒ぎみだれたる邑はすでにやぶられ毎家はことごとく閉て人のいるなし
11 There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone;
街頭には酒の故によりて叫ぶこゑあり すべての歡喜はくらくなり地のたのしみは去ゆけり
12 desolation remaineth in the city, and the gate is smitten, — a ruin.
邑はあれすたれたる所のみのこり その門もこぼたれて破れぬ
13 For so will it be in the midst of the land among the peoples, as the shaking of an olive-tree, as the grape-gleanings when the vintage is done.
地のうちにてもろもろの民のなかにて遺るものは橄欖の樹のうたれしのちの果の如く葡萄の収穫はてしのちの實のごとし
14 These shall lift up their voice, they shall shout for the majesty of Jehovah, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
これらのもの聲をあげてよばはん ヱホバの稜威のゆゑをもて海より歡びよばはん
15 Therefore glorify Jehovah in the east, the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the isles of the west.
この故になんぢら東にてヱホバをあがめ 海のしまじまにてイスラエルの神ヱホバの名をあがむべし
16 From the end of the earth have we heard songs: Glory to the righteous! And I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! The treacherous have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.
われら地の極より歌をきけり いはく榮光はただしきものに歸すと／われ云らく我やせおとろへたり我やせおとろへたり 我はわざはひなるかな 欺騙者はあざむき欺騙者はいつはりをもて欺むけり
17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare are upon thee, inhabitant of the land.
地にすむものよ恐怖と陷阱と罟とはなんぢに臨めり
18 And it shall come to pass, [that] he who fleeth from the sound of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are open, and the foundations of the earth shake.
おそれの聲をのがるる者はおとしあなに陷り おとしあなの中よりいづるものは罟にかかるべし そは高處の窓ひらけ地の基ふるひうごけばなり
19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is completely dissolved, the earth is violently moved.
地は碎けにくだけ地はやぶれにやぶれ地は搖にゆれ
20 The earth reeleth to and fro like a drunkard, and is shaken like a night hut; and its transgression is heavy upon it; and it falleth and shall not rise again.
地はゑへる者のごとく蹌きによろめき假廬のごとくふりうごく その罪はそのうへにおもく遂にたふれて再びおくることなし
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] Jehovah will punish the host of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
その日ヱホバはたかき處にて高きところの軍兵を征め 地にて地のもろもろの王を征めたまはん
22 And they shall be brought together, [as] an assemblage of prisoners for the pit, and shall be shut up in prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
かれらは囚人が阱にあつめらるるごとく集められて 獄中にとざされ多くの日をへてのち刑せらるべし
23 And the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Jehovah of hosts shall reign on mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients in glory.
かくて萬軍のヱホバ、シオンの山およびヱルサレムにて統治め かつその長老たちのまへに榮光あるべければ 月は面あからみ日ははぢて色かはるべし
