Joel 1
1 The worde of the Lord that came to Ioel the sonne of Pethuel.
ペトエルの子ヨエルに臨めるヱホバの言
2 Heare ye this, O Elders, and hearken ye all inhabitantes of the land, whether such a thing hath bene in your dayes, or yet in the dayes of your fathers.
老たる人よ汝ら是を聽け すべて此地に住む者汝ら耳を傾けよ 汝らの世あるは汝らの先祖の世にも是のごとき事ありしや
3 Tell you your children of it, and let your children shew to their children, and their children to another generation.
汝ら之を子に語り子はまた之をその子に語りその子之を後の代に語りつたへよ
4 That which is left of ye palmer worme, hath the grashopper eaten, and the residue of ye grashopper hath the canker worme eaten, and the residue of the canker worme hath the caterpiller eaten.
噬くらふ蝗虫の遺せる者は群ゐる蝗虫のくらふ所となりその遺せる者はなめつくすおほねむしのくらふ所となりその遺せる者は喫ほろぼす蝗虫の食ふ所となれり
5 Awake ye drunkards, and weepe, and howle all ye drinkers of wine, because of the newe wine: for it shalbe pulled from your mouth.
醉る者よ汝ら目を醒して泣け すべて酒をのむ者よ哭きさけべ あたらしき酒なんぢらの口に絶えたればなり
6 Yea, a nation commeth vpon my lande, mightie, and without nomber, whose teeth are like the teeth of a lyon, and he hath the iawes of a great lyon.
そはことなる民わが國に攻よすればなり その勢ひ強くその數はかられずその齒は獅子の齒のごとくその牙は牝獅子の牙のごとし
7 He maketh my vine waste, and pilleth off the barke of my figge tree: he maketh it bare, and casteth it downe: ye branches therof are made white.
彼等わが葡萄の樹を荒しわが無花果の樹を折りその皮をはぎはだかにして之を棄つ その枝白くなれり
8 Mourne like a virgine girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
汝ら哀哭かなしめ 貞女その若かりしときの夫のゆゑに麻布を腰にまとひて哀哭かなしむがごとくせよ
9 The meate offring, and the drinke offring is cut off from the House of the Lord: the Priests the Lords ministers mourne.
素祭灌祭ともにヱホバの家に絶えヱホバに事ふる祭司等哀傷をなす
10 The fielde is wasted: the lande mourneth: for the corne is destroyed: the new wine is dried vp, and the oyle is decayed.
田は荒れ地は哀傷む 是穀物荒はて新しき酒つき油たえんとすればなり
11 Be ye ashamed, O husband men: howle, O ye vine dressers for the wheate, and for the barly, because the haruest of the fielde is perished.
こむぎ大むぎの故をもて農夫羞ぢよ 葡萄をつくり哭けよ 田の禾稼うせはてたればなり
12 The vine is dried vp, and the figge tree is decayed: the pomegranate tree and the palme tree, and the apple tree, euen all the trees of the fielde are withered: surely the ioy is withered away from the sonnes of men.
葡萄樹は枯れ無花果樹は萎れ石榴椰子林檎および野の諸の樹は凋みたり 是をもて世の人の喜樂かれうせぬ
13 Girde your selues and lament, ye Priests: howle ye ministers of the altar: come, and lie all night in sackecloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meate offring, and the drinke offring is taken away from the house of your God.
祭司よ汝ら麻布を腰にまとひてなきかなしめ 祭壇に事ふる者よ汝らなきさけべ 神に事ふる者よなんぢら來り麻布をまとひて夜をすごせ 其は素祭も灌祭も汝らの神の家に入ことあらざればなり
14 Sanctifie you a fast: call a solemne assemblie: gather the Elders, and all the inhabitants of the land into the House of the Lord your God, and cry vnto the Lord,
汝ら斷食を定め集會を設け長老等を集め國の居民をことごとく汝らの神ヱホバの家に集めヱホバにむかひて號呼れよ
15 Alas: for the day, for the day of the Lord is at hand, and it commeth as a destruction from the Almightie.
ああその日は禍なるかな ヱホバの日近く暴風のごとくに全能者より來らん
16 Is not the meate cut off before our eyes? and ioy, and gladnesse from the house of our God?
我らがまのあたりに食物絶えしにあらずや 我らの神の家に歡喜と快樂絶しにあらずや
17 The seede is rotten vnder their cloddes: the garners are destroyed: the barnes are broken downe, for the corne is withered.
種は土の下に朽ち倉は壞れ廩は圯る そは穀物ほろぼされたればなり
18 How did the beasts mourne! the herdes of cattel pine away, because they haue no pasture, and the flockes of sheepe are destroyed.
いかに畜獸は哀み鳴くや 牛の群は亂れ迷ふ 草なければなり 羊の群もまた死喪ん
19 O Lord, to thee will I crie: for the fire hath deuoured the pastures of the wildernesse, and the flame hath burnt vp all the trees of the fielde.
ヱホバよ我なんぢに向ひて呼はらん 荒野の諸の草は火にて燒け野の諸の樹は火熖にてやけつくればなり
20 The beasts of the fielde cry also vnto thee: for the riuers of waters are dried vp, and the fire hath deuoured the pastures of the wildernes.
野の獸もまた汝にむかひて呼はらん 其は水の流涸はて荒野の草火にてやけつくればなり
