< Esias 16 >

1 I will send as it were reptiles on the land: is [not] the mount of the daughter of Sion a desolate rock?
なんぢら荒野のセラより羔羊をシオンの女の山におくりて國の首にをさむべし
2 For you shall be as a young bird taken away from a bird that has flown: [even] you shall be [so], daughter of Moab: and then do you, O Arnon,
モアブの女輩はアルノンの津にありてさまよふ鳥のごとく巣をおはれたる雛のごとくなるべし
3 take farther counsel, and continually make you a shelter from grief: they flee in darkness at mid-day; they are amazed; be not you led captive.
相謀りて審判をおこなひ 亭午にもなんぢの蔭を夜のごとくならしめ 驅逐人をかくし 遁れきたるものを顯はすなかれ
4 The fugitives of Moab shall sojourn with you; they shall be to you a shelter from the face of the pursuer: for your alliance has been taken away, and the oppressing ruler has perished from off the earth.
わが驅逐人をなんぢとともに居しめ 汝モアブの避所となりて之をそこなふ者のまへより脱れしめよ 勒索者はうせ害ふものはたえ暴虐者は地より絶れん
5 And a throne shall be established with mercy; and one shall sit upon it with truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and earnestly seeking judgments, and hasting righteousness.
ひとつの位あはれみをもて堅くたち眞實をおこなふ者そのうへに坐せん 彼ダビデの幕屋にをりて審判をなし公平をもとめて義をおこなふに速し
6 We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud. I have cut off his pride: your prophecy shall not be thus, [no] not thus.
われらモアブの傲慢をきけり その高ぶること甚だし われらその誇とたかぶりと忿恚とをきけり その大言はむなし
7 Moab shall howl; for all shall howl in the land of Moab: but you shall care for them that dwell in Seth, and you shall not be ashamed.
この故にモアブはモアブの爲になきさけび民みな哭さけぶべし なんぢら必らず甚だしく心をいためてキルハレステの乾葡萄のためになげくべし
8 The plains of Esebon shall mourn, the vine of Sebama: swallowing up the nations, trample you her vines, even to Jazer: you shall not come together; wander you in the desert: they that were sent are deserted, for they have gone over to the sea.
そはヘシボンの畑とシブマのぶだうの樹とは凋みおとろへたり その枝さきにはヤゼルにまでいたりて荒野にはびこりのびて海をわたりしが 國々のもろもろの主その美はしき枝ををりたり
9 Therefore will I weep as with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sebama; Esebon and Eleale have cast down your trees; for I will trample on your harvest and on your vintages, and all [your plants] shall fall.
この故にわれヤゼルの哭とひとしくシブマの葡萄の樹のためになかん ヘシボンよエレアレよわが涙なんぢをひたさん そは鬨聲なんぢが果物なんぢが收穫の實のうへにおちきたればなり
10 And gladness and rejoicing shall be taken away from the vineyards; and they shall not at all tread wine into the vats; for [the vintage] has ceased.
欣喜とたのしみとは土肥たる畑より取さられ 葡萄園には謳ふことなく歡呼ばふことなく酒榨にはふみて酒をしぼるものなし 我そのよろこびたつる聲をやめしめたり
11 Therefore my belly shall sound as a harp for Moab, and you have repaired my inward parts as a wall.
このゆゑにわが心腸はモアブの故をもて琴のごとく鳴ひびき キルハレスの故をもてわが衷もまた然り
12 And it shall be to your shame, (for Moab is wearied at the altars, ) that he shall go in to the idols thereof to pray, but they shall not be at all able to deliver him.
モアブは高處にいでて倦つかれその聖所にきたりて祈るべけれど驗あらじ
13 This is the word which the Lord spoke against Moab, when he spoke.
こはヱホバが曩にモアブに就てかたりたまへる聖言なり
14 And now I say, in three years, of the years of an hireling, the glory of Moab shall be dishonored [with] all his great wealth; and he shall be left few in number, and not honored.
されど今ヱホバかたりて言たまはくモアブの榮はその大なる群衆とともに傭人の期にひとしく 三年のうちに恥かしめをうけ 遺れる者はなはだ少なくして力なからん
