< Isaiah 17 >

1 The burden of Damascus. Beholde, Damascus is taken away from being a citie, for it shall be a ruinous heape.
ダマスコにかかはる重負の預言いはく 視よダマスコは邑のすがたをうしなひて荒墟となるべし
2 The cities of Aroer shall be forsaken: they shall be for the flockes: for they shall lye there, and none shall make them afraide.
アロエルの諸邑はすてられん獸畜のむれそこにすみてその伏やすめるをおびやかす者もなからん
3 The munition also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdome from Damascus, and the remnant of Aram shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
エフライムの城はすたりダマスコの政治はやみスリアの遺れる者はイスラエルの子輩のさかえのごとく消うせん是は萬軍のヱホバの聖言なり
4 And in that day the glorie of Iaakob shall be impouerished, and the fatnes of his flesh shalbe made leane.
その日ヤコブの榮はおとろへその肥たる肉はやせて
5 And it shalbe as when the haruest man gathereth the corne, and reapeth the eares with his arme, and he shall be as he that gathereth the eares in the valley of Rephaim.
あだかも收穫人の麥をかりあつめ腕をもて穂をかりたる後のごとくレパイムの谷に穂をひろひたるあとの如くならん
6 Yet a gathering of grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an oliue tree, two or three beries are in the top of the vpmost boughes, and foure or fiue in the hie branches of the fruite thereof, sayeth the Lord God of Israel.
されど橄欖樹をうつとき二つ三の核を杪にのこしあるひは四つ五をみのりおほき樹の外面のえだに遺せるが如く採のこさるるものあるべし是イスラエルの神ヱホバの聖言なり
7 At that day shall a man looke to his maker, and his eyes shall looke to the holy one of Israel.
その日人おのれを造れるものを仰ぎのぞみイスラエルの聖者に目をとめん
8 And hee shall not looke to the altars, the workes of his owne hands, neither shall he looke to those thinges, which his owne fingers haue made, as groues and images.
斯ておのれの手の工なる祭壇をあふぎ望まずおのれの指のつくりたるアシラの像と日の像とに目をとめじ
9 In that day shall the cities of their strength be as the forsaking of boughes and branches, which they did forsake, because of the children of Israel, and there shall be desolation.
その日かれが堅固なるまちまちは昔イスラエルの子輩をさけてすてさりたる森のなか嶺のうへに今のこれる荒跡のごとく荒地となるべし
10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy saluation, and hast not remembred the God of thy strength, therefore shalt thou set pleasant plantes, and shalt graffe strange vine branches:
そは汝おのがすくひの神をわすれ己がちからとなるべき磐を心にとめざりしによるこのゆゑになんぢ美くしき植物をうゑ異やうの枝をさし
11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to growe, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seede to florish: but the haruest shall be gone in the day of possession, and there shalbe desperate sorrowe.
かつ植たる日に籬をまはし朝に芽をいださしむれども患難の日といたましき憂の日ときたりて收穫の果はとびさらん
12 Ah, the multitude of many people, they shall make a sounde like the noyse of the sea: for the noyse of the people shall make a sounde like the noyse of mightie waters.
唉おほくの民はなりどよめけり海のなりどよめく如くかれらも鳴動めけりもろもろの國はなりひびけり、戸じ大水のなりひびくが如くかれらも鳴響けり
13 The people shall make a sounde like the noise of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee farre off, and shalbe chased as the chaffe of the mountaines before the winde, and as a rolling thing before the whirlewinde.
もろもろの國はおほくの水のなりひびくがごとく鳴響かんされど神かれらを攻たまふべしかれら遠くのがれて風にふきさらるる山のうヘの粃糠のごとくまた旋風にふきさらるる塵のごとくならん
14 And loe, in the euening there is trouble: but afore the morning it is gone. This is the portion of them that spoyle vs, and the lot of them that robbe vs.
視よゆふぐれに恐怖ありいまだ黎明にいたらずして彼等は亡たり これ我儕をかすむる者のうくべき報われらを奪ふもののひくべき鬮なり
