Nahum 3
1 Woe to thee, O city of blood, all full of lies and violence: rapine shall not depart from thee.
禍なるかな血を流す邑 その中には全く詭譎および暴行充ち掠め取ること息まず
2 The noise of the whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the neighing horse, and of the running chariot, and of the horsemen coming up,
鞭の音あり輪の轟く音あり 馬は躍り跳ね車は輾り行く
3 And of the shining sword, and of the glittering spear, and of a multitude slain, and of a grievous destruction: and there is no end of carcasses, and they shall fall down on their dead bodies.
騎兵馳のぼり劍きらめき鎗ひらめく 殺さるる者夥多しくして死屍山を爲し死骸限なし 皆死屍に躓きて倒る
4 Because of the multitude of the fornications of the harlot that was beautiful and agreeable, and that made use of witchcraft, that sold nations through her fornications, and families through her witchcrafts.
是はかの魔術の主なる美しき妓女多く淫行を行ひその淫行をもて諸國を奪ひその魔術をもて諸族を惑したるに因てなり
5 Behold I come against thee, saith the Lord of hosts: and I will discover thy shame to thy face, and will shew thy nakedness to the nations, and thy shame to kingdoms.
萬軍のヱホバ言たまふ 視よ我なんぢに臨む 我なんぢの裳裾を掲げて面の上にまで及ぼし汝の陰所を諸民に見し汝の羞る所を諸國に見すべし
6 And I will cast abominations upon thee, and will disgrace thee, and will make an example of thee.
我また穢はしき物を汝の上に投かけて汝を辱しめ汝をして賽物とならしめん
7 And it shall come to pass that every one that shall see thee, shall flee from thee, and shall say: Ninive is laid waste: who shall bemoan thee? whence shall I seek a comforter for thee?
凡て汝を見る者はみな汝を避て奔り去りニネベは亡びたりと言ん 誰か汝のために哀かんや 何處よりして我なんぢを弔ふ者を尋ね得んや
8 Art thou better than the populous Alexandria, that dwelleth among the rivers? waters are round about it: the sea is its riches, the waters are its walls.
汝あにノアモンに愈らんや ノアモンは河々の間に立ち水をその周圍に環らし海をもて壕となし海をもて垣となせり
9 Ethiopia and Egypt were the strength thereof, and there is no end: Africa and the Libyans were thy helpers.
かつその勢力たる者はエテオピア人およびエジプト人などにして限あらず フテ人ルビ人等汝を助けたりき
10 Yet she also was removed and carried into captivity: her young children were dashed in pieces at the top of every street, and they cast lots upon her nobles, and all her great men were bound in fetters.
然るに是も俘囚となりて擄はれてゆきその子女は一切の衢の隅々にて投付られて碎け又その尊貴者は籤にて分たれ其大なる者はみな鏈に繋がれたり
11 Therefore thou also shalt be made drunk, and shalt be despised: and thou shalt seek help from the enemy.
汝もまた酔せられて終に隱れん 汝もまた敵を避て逃るる處を尋ね求めん
12 All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with their green figs: if they be shaken, they shall fall into the mouth of the eater.
汝の城々はみな初に結びし果のなれる無花果樹のごとし 之を撼がせばその果落て食はんとする者の口にいる
13 Behold thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open to thy enemies, the fire shall devour thy bars.
汝の中にある民は婦人のごとし 汝の地の門はみな汝の敵の前に廣く開きてあり 火なんぢの關を焚ん
14 Draw thee water for the siege, build up thy bulwarks: go into the clay, and tread, work it and make brick.
汝水を汲て圍まるる時の用に備へ汝の城々を堅くし泥の中に入て踐て石灰を作りかつ瓦焼窰を修理へよ
15 There shall the fire devour thee: thou shalt perish by the sword, it shall devour thee like the bruchus: assemble together like the bruchus, make thyself many like the locust.
其處にて火汝を焼き劍なんぢを斬らん 其なんぢを滅すこと吸蝗のごとくなるべし 汝吸蝗のごとく數多からば多かれ 汝群蝗のごとく數多からば多かれ
16 Thou hast multiplied thy merchandises above the stars of heaven: the bruchus hath spread himself and flown away.
汝はおのれの商賣を空の星よりも多くせり 吸蝗掠めて飛さる
17 Thy guards are like the locusts: and thy little ones like the locusts of locusts which swarm on the hedges in the day of cold: the sun arose, and they flew away, and their place was not known where they were.
汝の重臣は群蝗のごとく汝の軍長は蝗の群のごとし 寒き日には垣に巣窟を構へ日出きたれば飛て去る その在る處を知る者なし
18 Thy shepherds have slumbered, O king of Assyria, thy princes shall be buried: thy people are hid in the mountains, and there is none to gather them together.
アッスリヤの王よ汝の牧者は睡り汝の貴族は臥す 又なんぢの民は山々に散さる 之を聚むる者なし
19 Thy destruction is not hidden, thy wound is grievous: all that have heard the fame of thee, have clapped their hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?
汝の傷は愈ること無し 汝の創は重し 汝の事を聞およぶ者はみな汝の故によりて手を拍ん 誰か汝の惡行を恒に身に受ざる者やある
