Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
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 are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
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 fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith Yhwh of Armies.
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 it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.
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 shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the grain, and reapeth the heads with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth heads 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 gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith Yhwh 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 look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect 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 he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the 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 his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left 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 salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:
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 grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
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 Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty 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 nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
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 behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
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
