Isaiah 47
1 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.
バビロンの處女よ くだりて塵のなかにすわれ カルデヤ人のむすめよ座にすわらずして地にすわれ 汝ふたたび婀娜にして嬌なりととなへらるることなからん
2 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.
礱をとりて粉をひけ 面帕をとりさり袿をぬぎ髓をあらはして河をわたれ
3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man.
なんぢの肌はあらはれなんぢの恥はみゆべし われ仇をむくいて人をかへりみず
4 As for our redeemer, YHWH of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
われらを贖ひたまふ者はその名を萬軍のヱホバ、イスラエルの聖者といふ
5 Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.
カルデヤ人のむすめよ なんぢ口をつぐみてすわれ 又くらき所にいりてをれ 汝ふたたびもろもろの國の主母ととなへらるることなからん
6 I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.
われわが民をいきどほりわが產業をけがして之をなんぢの手にあたへたり 汝これに憐憫をほどこさず年老たるもののうへに甚だおもき軛をおきたり
7 And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.
汝いへらく我とこしへに主母たらんと 斯てこれらのことを心にとめず亦その終をおもはざりき
8 Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
なんぢ歡樂にふけり安らかにをり 心のうちにただ我のみにして我のほかに誰もなく我はやもめとなりてをらず また子をうしなふことを知まじとおもへる者よなんぢ今きけ
9 But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.
子をうしなひ寡婦となるこの二つのこと一日のうちに俄になんぢに來らん汝おほく魔術をおこなひひろく呪詛をほどこすと雖もみちみちて汝にきたるべし
10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.
汝おのれの惡によりたのみていふ 我をみるものなしと なんぢの智慧となんぢの聰明とはなんぢを惑せたり なんぢ心のうちにおもへらくただ我のみにして我のほかに誰もなしと
11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.
この故にわざはひ汝にきたらん なんぢ呪ひてこれを除くことをしらず 艱難なんぢに落きたらん 汝これをはらふこと能はず なんぢの思ひよらざる荒廢にはかに汝にきたるべし
12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.
今なんぢわかきときより勤めおこなひたる呪詛とおほくの魔術とをもて立むかふべしあるひは益をうることあらん あるひは敵をおそれしむることあらん
13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
なんぢは謀畧おほきによりて倦つかれたり かの天をうらなふもの星をみるもの新月をうらなふ者もし能はば いざたちて汝をきたらんとする事よりまぬかれしむることをせよ
14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
彼らは藁のごとくなりて火にやかれん おのれの身をほのほの勢力よりすくひいだすこと能はず その火は身をあたたむべき炭火にあらず又その前にすわるべき火にもあらず
15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.
汝がつとめて行ひたる事は終にかくのごとくならん 汝のわかきときより汝とうりかひしたる者おのおのその所にさすらひゆきて一人だになんぢを救ふものなかるべし
