Zephaniah 2
1 Assemble yourselves together, be gathered together, O nation not worthy to be loved:
汝等羞恥を知ぬ民早く自ら内に省みよ
2 Before the decree bring forth the day as dust passing away, before the fierce anger of the Lord come upon you, before the day of the Lord’s indignation come upon you.
夫日は糠粃の如く過ぎさる 然ば詔言のいまだ行はれざる先ヱホバの烈き怒のいまだ汝等に臨まざる先ヱホバの忿怒の日のいまだ汝等にきたらざるさきに自ら省みるべし
3 Seek the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, you that have wrought his judgment: seek the just, seek the meek: if by any means you may be hid in the day of the Lord’s indignation.
すべてヱホバの律法を行ふ斯地の遜るものよ 汝等ヱホバを求め公義を求め謙遜を求めよ 然すれば汝等ヱホバの忿怒の日に或は匿さるることあらん
4 For Gaza shall be destroyed, and Ascalon shall be a desert, they shall cast out Azotus at noonday, and Accaron shall be rooted up.
夫ガザは棄られアシケロンは荒はてアシドドは白晝に逐はらはれエクロンは抜さらるべし
5 Woe to you that inhabit the sea coast, O nation of reprobates: the word of the Lord upon you, O Chanaan, the land of the Philistines, and I will destroy thee, so that there shall not be an inhabitant.
海邊に住る者およびケレテの國民は禍なるかな ベリシテ人の國カナンよ ヱホバの言なんぢらを攻む 我なんぢを滅して住者なきに至らしむべし
6 And the sea coast shall be the resting place of shepherds, and folds for cattle:
海邊は必ず牧塲となり牧者の洞および羊の牢そこに在ん
7 And it shall be the portion of him that shall remain of the house of Juda, there they shall feed: in the houses of Ascalon they shall rest in the evening: because the Lord their God will visit them, and bring back their captivity.
此地はユダの家の殘餘れる者に歸せん 彼ら其處にて草飼ひ暮に至ればアシケロンの家に臥ん そは彼らの神ヱホバかれらを顧みその俘囚を歸したまふべければなり
8 I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the blasphemies of the children of Ammon, with which they reproached my people, and have magnified themselves upon their borders.
我すでにモアブの嘲弄とアンモンの子孫の罵言を聞けり 彼らはわが民を嘲り自ら誇りて之が境界を侵せしなり
9 Therefore as I live, saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrha, the dryness of thorns, and heaps of salt, and a desert even for ever: the remnant of my people shall make a spoil of them, and the residue of my nation shall possess them.
是故に萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの神 言たまふ 我は活く 必ずモアブはソドムのごとくになりアンモンの子孫はゴモラのごとくにならん 是は共に蕁麻の蔓延る處となり鹽坑の地となりて長久に荒はつべし 我民の遺れる者かれらを掠めわが國民の餘されたる者かれらを獲ん
10 This shall befall them for their pride: because they have blasphemed, and have been magnified against the people of the Lord of hosts.
この事の彼らに臨むはその傲慢による 即ち彼ら萬軍のヱホバの民を嘲りて自ら誇りたればなり
11 The Lord shall be terrible upon them, and shall consume all the gods of the earth: and they shall adore him every man from his own place, all the islands of the Gentiles.
ヱホバは彼等に對ひては畏ろしくましまし地の諸の神や饑し滅したまふなり 諸の國の民おのおのその處より出てヱホバを拜まん
12 You Ethiopians, also shall be slain with my sword.
エテオピア人よ汝等もまたわが劍にかかりて殺さる
13 And he will stretch out his hand upon the north, and will destroy Assyria: and he will make the beautiful city a wilderness, and as a place not passable, and as a desert.
ヱホバ北に手を伸てアッスリヤを滅したまはん 亦ニネベを荒して荒野のごとき旱地となしたまはん
14 And flocks shall lie down in the midst thereof, all the beasts of the nations: and the bittern and the urchin shall lodge in the threshold thereof: the voice of the singing bird in the window, the raven on the upper post, for I will consume her strength.
而して畜の群もろもろの類の生物その中に伏し鸅鸕および刺猬其柱の頂に住み囀る者の聲 窓の内にきこえ荒落たる物 閾の上に積り香柏の板の細工 露顯になるべし
15 This is the glorious city that dwelt in security: that said in her heart: I am, and there is none beside me: how is she become a desert, a place for beasts to lie down in? every one that passeth by her, shall hiss, and wag his hand.
是邑は驕り傲ぶりて安泰に立をり 唯我あり 我の外には誰もなしと心の中に言つつありし者なるが斯も荒はてて畜獣の臥す處となる者かな 此を過る者はみな嘶きて手をふるはん
