Esias 21
1 THE VISION OF THE DESERT. As though a whirlwind should pass through the desert, coming from a desert, [even] from such a land,
うみべの荒野にかかる重負のよげん いはく／荒野よりおそるべき地より南のかたの暴風のふきすぐるが如くきたれり
2 [so] a fearful and a grievous vision was declared to me: he that is treacherous deals treacherously, the transgressor transgresses. The Elamites are upon me, and the ambassadors of the Persians come against me: now will I groan and comfort myself.
われ苛き默示をしめされたり 欺騙者はあざむき荒すものはあらすべし エラムよ上れメデアよかこめ 我すでにすべての歎息をやめしめたり
3 Therefore are my loins filled with feebleness, and pangs have seized me as a travailing woman: I dealt wrongfully that I might not hear; I hasted that I might not see.
この故にわが腰は甚だしくいたみ 產にのぞめる婦人の如き苦しみ我にせまれり われ悶へ苦しみて聞ことあたはず我をののきて見ことあたはず
4 My heart wanders, and transgression overwhelms me; my soul is occupied with fear.
わが心みだれまどひて慴き怖ること甚だし わが樂しめる夕はかはりて懼れとなりぬ
5 Prepare the table, eat, drink: arise, you princes, and prepare [your] shields.
彼らは席をまうけ筵をしきてくひのみす もろもろの君よたちて盾にあぶらぬれ
6 For thus said the Lord to me, Go and station a watchman for yourself, and declare whatever you shall see.
ヱホバかく我にいひ給へり 汝ゆきて斥候をおきその見るところを告しめよ
7 And I saw two mounted horsemen, and a rider on an ass, and a rider on a camel.
かれ馬にのりて二列にならび來るものを見 また驢馬にのりたると駱駝にのりたるとをみば 耳をかたぶけて詳細にきくことをせしめよと
8 Listen with great attention, and call you Urias to the watch-tower: the Lord has spoken. I stood continually during the day, and I stood in the camp all night:
かれ獅の如く呼はりて曰けるは わが主よわれ終日やぐらに立よもすがら斥候の地にたつ
9 and, behold, he comes riding in a chariot and pair: and he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all her images and her idols have been crushed to the ground.
馬にのりて二列にならびたる者きたれり 彼こたへていはくバビロンは倒れたり 倒れたりそのもろもろの神の像はくだけて地にふしたり
10 Hear, you that are left, and you that are in pain, hear what things I have heard of the Lord of hosts [which] the God of Israel has declared to us. THE VISION OF IDUMEA.
蹂躙らるるわが民よわが打場のたなつものよ 我イスラエルの神萬軍のヱホバに聞るところのものを汝につげたり
11 Call to me out of Seir; guard you the bulwarks.
ドマに係るおもにの預言 いはく／人ありセイルより我をよびていふ 斥候よ夜はなにのときぞ 斥候よ夜はなにの時ぞ
12 I watch in the morning and the night: if you would enquire, enquire, and dwell by me.
ものみ答へていふ 朝きたり夜またきたる 汝もしとはんとおもはば問 なんぢら歸りきたるべし
13 You may lodge in the forest in the evening, or in the way of Daedan.
アラビヤにかかる重負のよげん 曰く／デダンの客商よなんぢらはアラビヤの林にやどらん
14 You that dwell in the country of Thaeman, bring water to meet him that is thirsty;
テマの地のたみよ水をたづさへて渇ける者をむかへ 糧をもて逃遁れたるものを迎へよ
15 meet the fugitives with bread, because of the multitude of the slain, and because of the multitude of them that lose their way, and because of the multitude of swords, and because of the multitude of bent bows, and because of the multitude of them that have fallen in war.
かれらは刃をさけ 旣にぬきたる劍すでに張たる弓およびたたかひの艱難をさけて逃きたれり
16 For thus said the Lord to me, Yet a year, as the year of an hireling, [and] the glory of the sons of Kedar shall fail:
そは主われにいひたまはく 傭人の期にひとしく一年のうちにケダルのすべての榮華はつきはてん
17 and the remnant of the strong bows of the sons of Kedar shall be small: for the Lord God of Israel has spoken [it].
そののこれる弓士のかずとケダルの子孫のますらをとは少なかるべし 此はイスラエルの神ヱホバのかたり給へるなり
