Isaiah 24

1 Behold the Lord shall lay waste the earth, and shall strip it, and shall afflict the face thereof, and scatter abroad the inhabitants thereof.

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: and as with the servant, so with his master: as with the handmaid, so with her mistress: as with the buyer, so with the seller: as with the lender, so with the borrower: as with him that calleth for his money, so with him that oweth.

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 With desolation shall the earth be laid waste, and it shall be utterly spoiled: for the Lord 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 earth mourned, and faded away, and is weakened: the world faded away, the height of the people of the earth is weakened.

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 earth is infected by the inhabitants thereof: because they have transgressed the laws, they have changed the ordinance, they have 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 shall a curse devour the earth, and the inhabitants thereof shall sin: and therefore they that dwell therein shall be mad, and few men shall be 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 vintage hath mourned, the vine hath languished away, all the merryhearted have sighed.

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 timbrels hath ceased, the noise of them that rejoice is ended, the melody of the harp is silent.

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 shall not drink wine with a song: the drink shall be 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 vanity is broken down, every house is shut up, no man cometh 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 shall be a crying for wine in the streets: all mirth is forsaken: the joy of the earth is gone away.

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 is left in the city, and calamity shall oppress the gates.

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 it shall be thus in the midst of the earth, in the midst of the people, as if a few olives, that remain, should be shaken out of the olive tree: or grapes, when the vintage is ended.

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, and shall give praise: when the Lord shall be glorified, they shall make a joyful noise 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 ye the Lord in instruction: the name of the Lord God of Israel in the islands of the sea.

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 ends of the earth we have heard praises, the glory of the just one. And I said: My secret to myself, my secret to myself, woe is me: the prevaricators have prevaricated, and with the prevarication of transgressors they have prevaricated.

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, O thou inhabitant of the earth.

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 that shall flee from the noise of the fear, shall fall into the pit: and he that shall rid himself out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for the flood-gates from on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.

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 With breaking shall the earth be broken, with crushing shall the earth be crushed, with trembling shall the earth be 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 With shaking shall the earth be shaken as a drunken man, and shall be removed as the tent of one night: and the iniquity thereof shall be heavy upon it, and it shall fell, and 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, that in that day the Lord shall visit upon the host of heaven on high, and upon the kings of the earth, on 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 gathered together as in the gathering of one bundle into the pit, and they shall be shut up there in prison: and after many days they shall 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 blush, and the sun shall be ashamed, when the Lord of hosts shall reign in mount Sion, and in Jerusalem, and shall be glorified in the sight of his ancients.

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
