Nahum 3
1 Woe to the city of blood! it is all full of lies and robbery; never ceaseth the preying;
禍なるかな血を流す邑 その中には全く詭譎および暴行充ち掠め取ること息まず
2 The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of wheels, and of prancing horses, and of the skipping chariots.
鞭の音あり輪の轟く音あり 馬は躍り跳ね車は輾り行く
3 Horsemen mount, and there are the flaming sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and heaps of carcasses; and without end are the corpses; they stumble on their corpses;
騎兵馳のぼり劍きらめき鎗ひらめく 殺さるる者夥多しくして死屍山を爲し死骸限なし 皆死屍に躓きて倒る
4 Because of the multitude of the lewd deeds of the harlot, that is rich in gracefulness, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her lewd deeds, and families through her witchcrafts.
是はかの魔術の主なる美しき妓女多く淫行を行ひその淫行をもて諸國を奪ひその魔術をもて諸族を惑したるに因てなり
5 Behold, I will be against thee, saith the Lord of hosts; and I will lay thy skirts open over thy face, and I will let nations see thy nakedness, and kingdoms thy shame.
萬軍のヱホバ言たまふ 視よ我なんぢに臨む 我なんぢの裳裾を掲げて面の上にまで及ぼし汝の陰所を諸民に見し汝の羞る所を諸國に見すべし
6 And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and defile thee, and will render thee a dirt-heap.
我また穢はしき物を汝の上に投かけて汝を辱しめ汝をして賽物とならしめん
7 And it shall come to pass, that all they that see thee shall flee from thee, and say, Laid waste is Nineveh: who will condole with her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?
凡て汝を見る者はみな汝を避て奔り去りニネベは亡びたりと言ん 誰か汝のために哀かんや 何處よりして我なんぢを弔ふ者を尋ね得んや
8 Art thou better than No-amon, that was situated on the rivers, that had water round about her, the rampart of which was the sea, and the walls of which rose out of the sea?
汝あにノアモンに愈らんや ノアモンは河々の間に立ち水をその周圍に環らし海をもて壕となし海をもて垣となせり
9 Ethiopia the numerous, and Egypt that was without end, Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
かつその勢力たる者はエテオピア人およびエジプト人などにして限あらず フテ人ルビ人等汝を助けたりき
10 Yet also she was exiled, was carried away into captivity; also her young children were dashed in pieces at the corners of all streets: and for her honorable men they cast lots, and all her great ones were bound with chains.
然るに是も俘囚となりて擄はれてゆきその子女は一切の衢の隅々にて投付られて碎け又その尊貴者は籤にて分たれ其大なる者はみな鏈に繋がれたり
11 Thou also shalt be made drunken, thou shalt be hidden from view: thou also shalt seek refuge because of the enemy.
汝もまた酔せられて終に隱匿ん 汝もまた敵を避て逃るる處を尋ね求めん
12 All thy strong-holds shall be like fig-trees with the first ripe figs, which, if they be shaken, will fall into the mouth of the eater.
汝の城々はみな初に結びし果のなれる無花果樹のごとし 之を撼がせばその果落て食はんとする者の口にいる
13 Behold, thy people are become women in the midst of thee: unto thy enemies are the gates of thy land set wide open; the fire hath devoured thy bars.
汝の中にある民は婦人のごとし 汝の地の門はみな汝の敵の前に廣く開きてあり 火なんぢの關を焚ん
14 Water for the siege draw for thyself, fortify thy strongholds: go into the clay, and tread the mortar, make strong the brick-kiln.
汝水を汲て圍まるる時の用に備へ汝の城々を堅くし泥の中に入て踐て石灰を作りかつ瓦燒窰を修理へよ
15 There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall devour thee up like the cankerworm: [though] thou make thyself many as the cankerworm; make thyself many as the locusts.
其處にて火汝を燒き劍なんぢを斬ん 其なんぢを滅すこと吸蝗のごとくなるべし 汝吸蝗のごとく數多からば多かれ 汝群蝗のごとく數多からば多かれ
16 [Though] thou hadst multiplied thy merchants more than the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spreadeth itself out, and flieth away.
汝はおのれの商賣を空の星よりも多くせり 吸蝗掠めて飛さる
17 Thy crowned ones are like the locusts, and thy leaders like the swarms of locusts, which camp in the hedges on a cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
汝の重臣は群蝗のごとく汝の軍長は蝗の群のごとし 寒き日には垣に巣窟を構へ日出きたれば飛て去る その在る處を知る者なし
18 Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria; thy valiant men are at rest: scattered are thy people upon the mountains, and there is none that gathereth them.
アッスリヤの王よ汝の牧者は睡り汝の貴族は臥す 又なんぢの民は山々に散さる 之を聚むる者なし
19 There is no healing for thy breach; fatal is thy wound: all that hear the report of thee will clap their hands over thee; for over whom did not thy wickedness pass continually?
汝の傷は愈ること無し 汝の創は重し 汝の事を聞およぶ者はみな汝の故によりて手を拍ん 誰か汝の惡行を恒に身に受ざる者やある
