Isaiah 47
1 Come down and sit in the dust, virgin-daughter of Babylon! Sit on the ground, — [there is] no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.
バビロンの處女よ くだりて塵のなかにすわれ カルデヤ人のむすめよ座にすわらずして地にすわれ 汝ふたたび婀娜にして嬌なりととなへらるることなからん
2 Take the millstones, and grind meal; remove thy veil, lift up the train, uncover the leg, pass over rivers:
礱をとりて粉をひけ 面帕をとりさり袿をぬぎ髓をあらはして河をわたれ
3 thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen. I will take vengeance, and I will meet none [to stay me]. ...
なんぢの肌はあらはれなんぢの恥はみゆべし われ仇をむくいて人をかへりみず
4 Our Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel. ...
われらを贖ひたまふ者はその名を萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの聖者といふ
5 Sit silent, and get thee into darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans; for thou shalt no more be called, Mistress of kingdoms.
カルデヤ人のむすめよ なんぢ口をつぐみてすわれ 又くらき所にいりてをれ 汝ふたたびもろもろの國の主母ととなへらるることなからん
6 I was wroth with my people, I polluted mine inheritance, and gave them into thy hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the aged didst thou very heavily lay thy yoke;
われわが民をいきどほりわが產業をけがして之をなんぢの手にあたへたり 汝これに憐憫をほどこさず年老たるもののうへに甚だおもき軛をおきたり
7 and thou saidst, I shall be a mistress for ever; so that thou didst not take these things to heart, thou didst not remember the end thereof.
汝いへらく我とこしへに主母たらんと 斯てこれらのことを心にとめず亦その終をおもはざりき
8 And now hear this, thou voluptuous one, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thy heart, It is I, and there is none but me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know loss of children:
なんぢ歡樂にふけり安らかにをり 心のうちにただ我のみにして我のほかに誰もなく我はやもめとなりてをらず また子をうしなふことを知まじとおもへる者よなんぢ今きけ
9 yet these two things shall come upon thee in a moment, in one day, loss of children and widowhood; they shall come upon thee in full measure for the multitude of thy sorceries, for the great abundance of thine enchantments.
子をうしなひ寡婦となるこの二つのこと一日のうちに俄になんぢに來らん汝おほく魔術をおこなひひろく呪詛をほどこすと雖もみちみちて汝にきたるべし
10 For thou hast confided in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath seduced thee; and thou hast said in thy heart, It is I, and there is none but me.
汝おのれの惡によりたのみていふ 我をみるものなしと なんぢの智慧となんぢの聰明とはなんぢを惑せたり なんぢ心のうちにおもへらくただ我のみにして我のほかに誰もなしと
11 But evil shall come upon thee — thou shalt not know from whence it riseth; and mischief shall fall upon thee, which thou shalt not be able to ward off; and desolation that thou suspectest not shall come upon thee suddenly.
この故にわざはひ汝にきたらん なんぢ呪ひてこれを除くことをしらず 艱難なんぢに落きたらん 汝これをはらふこと能はず なんぢの思ひよらざる荒廢にはかに汝にきたるべし
12 Stand now with thine enchantments and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to turn them to profit, if so be thou mayest cause terror.
今なんぢわかきときより勤めおこなひたる呪詛とおほくの魔術とをもて立むかふべしあるひは益をうることあらん あるひは敵をおそれしむることあらん
13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the interpreters of the heavens, the observers of the stars, who predict according to the new moons what shall come upon thee, stand up, and save thee.
なんぢは謀畧おほきによりて倦つかれたり かの天をうらなふもの星をみるもの新月をうらなふ者もし能はば いざたちて汝をきたらんとする事よりまぬかれしむることをせよ
14 Behold, they shall be as stubble, the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, [nor] fire to sit before it.
彼らは藁のごとくなりて火にやかれん おのれの身をほのほの勢力よりすくひいだすこと能はず その火は身をあたたむべき炭火にあらず又その前にすわるべき火にもあらず
15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, they that trafficked with thee from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his own quarter; there is none to save thee.
汝がつとめて行ひたる事は終にかくのごとくならん 汝のわかきときより汝とうりかひしたる者おのおのその所にさすらひゆきて一人だになんぢを救ふものなかるべし
