Isaiah 24
1 Behold, the Lord maketh empty the land, and layeth it waste, marreth its surface, and scattereth abroad its inhabitants.
視よヱホバこの地をむなしからしめ荒廢れしめこれを覆へしてその民をちらしたまふ
2 And it shall be with the people as with the priest; with the servant as with his master; with the bondwoman as with her mistress; with the buyer as with the seller; with the lender as with the borrower; with the debtor as with his creditor.
かくて民も祭司もひとしく 僕も主もひとしく 下婢も主婦もひとしく 買ものも賣ものもひとしく 貸ものも借ものもひとしく 利をはたるものも利をいだす者もひとしくこの事にあふべし
3 Empty, emptied out shall be the land, and spoiled, utterly spoiled; for the Lord hath spoken this word.
地はことごとく空しくことごとく掠められん こはヱホバの言たまへるなり
4 The land mourneth, withereth away, the world languishes, withereth away, the high ones of the people of the land do languish.
地はうれへおとろへ世は萎おとろへ地のたふときものも萎はてたり
5 For the land was defiled under its inhabitants; because they had transgressed the laws, neglected the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant.
民おきてにそむき法ををかし とこしへの契約をやぶりたるがゆゑに 地はその下にけがされたり
6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the land, and they that dwell therein suffer for their guilt; therefore are the inhabitants of the land dried up, and but few men are left.
このゆゑに呪詛は地をのみつくしそこに住るものは罪をうけまた地の民はやかれて僅かばかり遺れり
7 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merry-hearted sigh.
あたらしき酒はうれへ葡萄はなえ 心たのしめるものはみな歎息せざるはなし
8 At rest is the mirth of the tambourines; ceased hath the tumult of the joyful; at rest is the mirth of the harp.
鼓のおとは寂まり歡ぶものの聲はやみ琴の音もまたしづまれり
9 Amidst singing shall they no [more] drink wine; bitter shall be the strong drink to those that drink it.
彼等はふたたび歌うたひ酒のまず濃酒はこれをのむものに苦くなるべし
10 Broken down is the city of desolation; shut up is every house that none can enter.
騒ぎみだれたる邑はすでにやぶられ毎家はことごとく閉て人のいるなし
11 A [painful] cry for wine is in the streets; darkened is all joy; banished is the mirth of the land.
街頭には酒の故によりて叫ぶこゑあり すべての歡喜はくらくなり地のたのしみは去ゆけり
12 Destruction is left in the city, in ruins is beaten the gate.
邑はあれすたれたる所のみのこり その門もこぼたれて破れぬ
13 For thus shall it be in the midst of the land among the nations, as [at] the shaking of an olive-tree, as [at] the gleaning of grains when the vintage is done.
地のうちにてもろもろの民のなかにて遺るものは橄欖の樹のうたれしのちの果の如く葡萄の収穫はてしのちの實のごとし
14 These shall lift up their voice, they shall sing; because of the majesty of the Lord, they shout aloud from the sea.
これらのもの聲をあげてよばはん ヱホバの稜威のゆゑをもて海より歡びよばはん
15 Therefore in the valleys honor ye the Lord; in the isles of the sea, the name of the Lord the God of Israel.
この故になんぢら東にてヱホバをあがめ 海のしまじまにてイスラエルの神ヱホバの名をあがむべし
16 From the edge of the earth have we heard songs, “Glory to the righteous.” But I said, “Evil is mine, evil is mine, woe is me! the treacherous have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.”
われら地の極より歌をきけり いはく榮光はただしきものに歸すと／われ云らく我やせおとろへたり我やせおとろへたり 我はわざはひなるかな 欺騙者はあざむき欺騙者はいつはりをもて欺むけり
17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare are upon thee, O inhabitant of the land.
地にすむものよ恐怖と陷阱と罟とはなんぢに臨めり
18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the call of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be caught in the snare; for the windows from on high are opened, and there quaked the foundations of the earth.
おそれの聲をのがるる者はおとしあなに陷り おとしあなの中よりいづるものは罟にかかるべし そは高處の窓ひらけ地の基ふるひうごけばなり
19 Crushed entirely is the earth, split in pieces is the earth, shaken to its centre is the earth.
地は碎けにくだけ地はやぶれにやぶれ地は搖にゆれ
20 The earth reeleth to and fro like a drunkard, and vibrateth like a watch-hut; and heavily lieth upon it its transgression; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
地はゑへる者のごとく蹌きによろめき假廬のごとくふりうごく その罪はそのうへにおもく遂にたふれて再びおくることなし
21 And it shall come to pass on that day, that the Lord will visit punishment on the host of heaven in heaven, and on the kings of the earth upon the earth.
その日ヱホバはたかき處にて高きところの軍兵を征め 地にて地のもろもろの王を征めたまはん
22 And they shall be gathered in heaps, as prisoners, in the prison, and shall be shut up in the dungeon, and thus after many days shall they be punished.
かれらは囚人が阱にあつめらるるごとく集められて 獄中にとざされ多くの日をへてのち刑せらるべし
23 And the moon shall be put to the blush, and the sun be made ashamed; for the Lord of hosts will reign on mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients in glory.
かくて萬軍のヱホバ、シオンの山およびヱルサレムにて統治め かつその長老たちのまへに榮光あるべければ 月は面あからみ日ははぢて色かはるべし
