Isaiah 13
1 The doom of Babylon, which Isaiah Amoz' son foresaw.
アモツの子イザヤが示されたるバビロンにかかる重負の預言
2 Upon a high mountain lift ye up a banner, raise high your voice unto them, wave the hand, that they may enter into the gates of the princes.
なんぢらかぶろの山に旂をたて聲をあげ手をふり彼等をまねきて貴族の門にいらしめよ
3 I have charged my prepared ones, I have also called my heroes for my anger, those that rejoice in my highness.
われ既にきよめ別ちたるものに命じわが丈夫ほこりかにいさめる者をよびてわが怒をもらさしむ
4 There is a noise of tumult on the mountains, like that of a numerous people; a noise of shouting of kingdoms of nations assembled; the Lord of hosts mustereth a host of battle.
山におほくの人の聲きこゆ大なる民あるがごとし もろもろの國民のよりつどひて喧めく聲きこゆ これ萬軍のヱホバたたかひの軍兵を召したまふなり
5 They are coming from a far-off country, from the end of the heavens, [here is] the Lord, with the weapons of his indignation, to destroy all the land.
かれらはとほき國より天の極よりきたる これヱホバとその忿恚をもらす器とともに全國をほろぼさんとて來るなり
6 Wail ye; for nigh is the day of the Lord; like wasting from the Almighty shall it come.
なんぢら泣號ぶべしヱホバの日ちかづき全能者よりいづる敗亡きたるべければなり
7 Therefore all hands shall become weak, and every mortal's heart shall melt;
この故にすべての手はたれ凡の人のこころは消ゆかん
8 And they shall be affrighted, pangs and pains shall seize on them; they shall have throes as a woman that travaileth; one at the other shall they look amazed; red like flames shall their faces glow.
かれら慴きおそれ艱難と憂とにせまられ子をうまんとする婦のごとく苦しみ互におどろき相みあひてその面は燄のごとくならん
9 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, direful, [laden] with wrath and the fierceness of anger, to render the earth desolate: and its sinners will he destroy out of it.
視よヱホバの日苛くして忿恚とはげしき怒とをもて來り この國をあらしその中よりつみびとを絶滅さん
10 For the stars of the heavens and their constellations shall not give forth their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not shed abroad her light.
天のもろもろの星とほしの宿は光をはなたず 日はいでてくらく月はその光をかがやかさざるべし
11 And I will visit on the world its evil, and on the wicked their iniquity; and I will stop the arrogance of the presumptuous, and the haughtiness of the tyrants will I humble.
われ惡ことのために世をつみし不義のために惡きものをばつし驕れるものの誇をとどめ暴ぶるものの傲慢をひくくせん
12 I will make the mortal more precious than fine gold; and man, more than the valued metal of Ophir.
われ人をして精金よりもすくなくオフルの黄金よりも少なからしめん
13 Therefore will I shake the heavens, and the earth shall start quaking out of her place, at the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and on the day of his fierce anger.
かくて亦われ萬軍のヱホバの忿恚のとき烈しき怒りの日に天をふるはせ地をうごかしてその處をうしなはしむべし
14 And the people shall be as the chased roe, and as flocks which no one gathereth up; every man to his own people shall they turn, and every man into his own land shall they flee.
かれらは逐るる鹿のごとく集むるものなき羊のごとくなりて各自おのれの民にかへりおのれの國にのがれゆかん
15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.
すべて其處にあるもの見出さるれば刺れ拘留らるるものは劍にたふされ
16 And their babes shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes: spoiled shall be their houses, and their wives ravished.
彼等の嬰兒はその目前にてなげくだかれその家財はかすめうばはれその妻はけがさるべし
17 Behold, I will stir up against them the Medes; who will not regard silver, and who will not delight in gold.
視よわれ白銀をもかへりみず黄金をもよろこばざるメデア人をおこして之にむかはしめん
18 And their bows will dash young men to pieces; and on the fruit of the womb will they have no mercy; on children their eye will not look with pity.
かれらは弓をもて若きものを射くだき腹の實をあはれむことなく小子をみてをしむことなし
19 And [thus] shall Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the proud ornament of the Chaldeans, become like the overthrow through God of Sodom and Gomorrah.
すべての國の中にてうるはしくカルデヤ人がほこり飾となせるバビロンはむかし神にほろぼされたるソドム、ゴモラのごとくならん
20 It shall not be inhabited for ever, and it shall not be dwelt in from generation to generation; nor shall the Arabian pitch there his tent; and shepherds shall not let their flocks rest there.
ここに住むもの永くたえ世々にいたるまで居ものなくアラビヤ人もかしこに幕屋をはらず牧人もまたかしこにはその群をふさすることなく
21 But there shall rest the wild beasts of the desert; and their houses shall be full of owls; and ostriches shall dwell there, and evil spirits shall dance there.
ただ猛獸かしこにふし吼るものその家にみち鴕鳥かしこにすみ牡山羊かしこに躍らん
22 And jackals shall howl in her palaces, and monsters in the temples of pleasure; and near to come is her time, and her days shall not be extended.
豺狼その城のなかになき野犬えいぐわの宮にさけばんその時のいたるは近きにありその日は延ることなかるべし
