Isaiah 15

1 A message about Moab. The town of Ar in Moab is devastated, destroyed in a single night! The town of Kir in Moab is devastated, destroyed in a single night!

モアブにかかる重負のよげん 曰く／モアブのアルは一夜の間にあらされて亡びうせ モアブのキルは一夜のまに荒されてほろびうせん

2 The people of Dibon go up to their temple to weep at its high places. The Moabites weep over the towns of Nebo and Medeba. Every head has been shaved, every beard has been cut off in mourning.

かれバイテおよびデボンの高所にのぼりて哭き モアブはネボ及びメデバの上にてなげきさけぶ おのおのその頭を禿にしその鬚をことごとく剃たり

3 They wear sackcloth in their streets. On the rooftops and in the open squares they all weep, falling down crying.

かれら麁服をきてその衢にあり 屋蓋または廣きところにて皆なきさけび悲しむこと甚だし

4 The people of Heshbon and Elealeh cry out in sadness, their voices heard as far as Jahaz. That's why even the bravest soldiers of Moab shout—because they're so terrified.

ヘシボンとエレアレと叫びてその聲ヤハズにまで聞ゆ この故にモアブの軍兵こゑをあげ その靈魂うちに在てをののけり

5 I weep over Moab. Moabite refugees run all the way to Zoar and to Eglath-shelishiyah. Weeping they go up Luhith hill; crying for their destruction they walk along the road to Horonaim.

わが心モアブのために叫びよばはれり その貴族はゾアルおよびヱグラテシリシヤにのがれ 哭つつルヒテの坂をのぼり ホロナイムの途にて敗亡の聲をあぐ

6 The waters of Nimrim have all dried up. The grass is withered, all the vegetation has disappeared—nothing green is left.

ニムリムの水はかわき草はかれ苗はつきて緑蔬あらず

7 Everything they had gained, all their possessions, they have to carry across Willow River.

このゆゑに彼等はその獲たる富とその藏めたる物をたづさへて柳の河をわたらん

8 Their cry of grief echoes through the whole country of Moab; their wailing and mourning extends all the way from Eglaim to Beer-elim.

その泣號のこゑはモアブの境をめぐり 悲歎のこゑはエグライムにいたり なげきの聲はべエルエリムにいたる

9 River Dimon is full of blood, but I will bring more upon the town of Dimon—a lion to attack the Moabite refugees and those who are left in the country.

デモンの水は血にて充 われデモンの上にひとしほ禍害をくはへ モアブの遁れたる者とこの地の遺りたるものとに獅をおくらん
