Isaiah 18

1 Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:

唉エテオピアの河の彼方なるさやさやと羽音のきこゆる地

2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!

この地蒹のふねを水にうかべ海路より使者をつかはさんとてその使者にいへらく 疾走る使よなんぢら河々の流のわかるる國にゆけ丈たかく肌なめらかなる 始めより今にいたるまで懼るべく繩もてはかり人を踐にじる民にゆけ

3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.

すべて世にをるもの地にすむものよ 山のうへに旗のたつとき汝等これを見ラッパの鳴響くときなんぢら之をきけ

4 For so YHWH said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.

そはヱホバわれに如此いひ給へりいはく 空はれわたり日てり收穫の熱むしてつゆけき雲のたるる間 われわが居所にしづかに居てながめん

5 For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.

收穫のまへにその芽またく生その花ぶだうとなりて熟せんとするとき かれ鎌をもて蔓をかり枝をきり去ん

6 They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.

斯てみな山のたけきとりと地の獸とになげあたへらるべし 猛鳥そのうへにて夏をすごし地のけものその上にて冬をわたらん

7 In that time shall the present be brought unto YHWH of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of YHWH of hosts, the mount Zion.

そのとき河々の流のわかるる國の丈たかく肌なめらかなる 始めより今にいたるまで懼るべく繩もてはかり人をふみにじる民より 萬軍のヱホバにささぐる禮物をたづさへて 萬軍のヱホバの聖名のところシオンの山にきたるべし
