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!

モアブについての託宣。アルは一夜のうちに荒されて、モアブは滅びうせ、キルは一夜のうちに荒されて、モアブは滅びうせた。

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.

デボンの娘は高き所にのぼって泣き、モアブはネボとメデバの上で嘆き叫ぶ。おのおのその頭をかぶろにし、そのひげをことごとくそった。

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

彼らはそのちまたで荒布をまとい、その屋根または広場で、みな泣き叫び、涙に浸る。

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は叫び、その声はヤハズまで聞える。それゆえ、モアブの兵士は声をあげ、その魂はおののく。

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.

わが心はモアブのために叫び呼ばわる。その落人はゾアルおよびエグラテ・シリシヤにのがれ、泣きながらルヒテの坂をのぼり、ホロナイムの道で滅びの叫びをあげる。

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、草は枯れ、苗は消えて、青い物はない。

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

それゆえ、彼らはその得た富と、そのたくわえた物とを携えて、柳の川をわたる。

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.

その叫びの声はモアブの境をめぐり、その嘆きの声はエグライムにいたり、またその嘆きの声はベエル・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.

デボンの水は血で満ちる。わたしはデボンの上にさらに災を加え、モアブののがれた者とこの地の残った者とに、ししを送る。
