< Zephaniah 1 >
1 The word of the Lord which came unto Zephanyah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedalyah, the son of Amaryah, the son of Chizkiyah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon the king of Judah.
アモンの子ユダの王ヨシヤの世にゼパニヤに臨めるヱホバの言 ゼパニヤはクシの子 クシはゲダリアの子 ゲダリアはアマリヤの子 アマリヤはヒゼキヤの子なり
2 I will remove, utterly remove all things from off the face of the earth, saith the Lord.
ヱホバ言たまふ われ地の面よりすべての物をはらひのぞかん
3 I will remove man and beast; I will remove the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumbling blocks together with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the face of the earth, saith the Lord.
われ人と獣畜をほろぼし空の鳥 海の魚および躓礙になる者と惡人とを滅さん 我かならず地の面より人をほろぼし絶ん ヱホバこれを言ふ
4 And I will stretch out my hand over Judah, and over all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Ba'al from this place, the name of his ministers with his priests;
我ユダとエルサレムの一切の居民との上に手を伸ん 我 この處よりかの漏のこれるバアルを絶ちケマリムの名を祭司と與に絶ち
5 And those that bow themselves down on the roofs of houses to the host of heaven; and those that bow themselves down that are sworn [to be true] to the Lord and still swear by Malkom;
また屋上にて天の衆軍を拜む者ヱホバに誓を立てて拜みながらも亦おのれの王を指て誓ふことをする者
6 And those that are turned away from following the Lord; and those that have not sought for the Lord, and have not inquired of him.
ヱホバに悖り離るる者ヱホバを求めず尋ねざる者を絶ん
7 Be silent in the presence of the Lord Eternal; for nigh is the day of the Lord; for the Lord hath prepared a slaughter, he hath bidden his invited guests.
汝 主ヱホバの前に默せよ そはヱホバの日近づきヱホバすでに犠牲を備へその招くべき者をさだめ給ひたればなり
8 And it shall come to pass on the day of the Lord's slaughter, that I will inflict punishment on the princes, and on the king's sons, and on all such as are clothed in garments of a foreign land.
ヱホバの犠牲の日に我もろもろの牧伯と王の子等および凡て異邦の衣服を着る者を罰すべし
9 And I will inflict punishment on all those that leap over the threshold on that day, who fill the house of their master with violence and deceit.
その日には我また凡て閾をとびこえ強暴と詭譎をもて獲たる物をおのが主の家に滿す者等を罰せん
10 And it shall come to pass on that day, saith the Lord, that there shall be a loud cry of lamentation from the fish-gate, and a wailing from the second, and [that of] a great breach from the hills.
ヱホバ曰たまはく その日には魚の門より號呼の聲おこり下邑より喚く聲おこり山々より大なる敗壞おこらん
11 Wail, ye inhabitants of the mortar-street, for destroyed are all the trading people; cut off are all that were laden with silver.
マクテシの民よ汝ら叫べ 其は商賣する民 悉くほろび銀を擔ふ者 悉く絶たればなり
12 And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem through with lights; and I will inflict punishment on the men that are at rest on their lees, that say in their heart, The Lord will not do good, nor will he do evil.
その時はわれ燈をもちてエルサレムの中を尋ねん 而して滓の上に居着て心の中にヱホバは福をもなさず災をもなさずといふものを罰すべし
13 And their wealth shall become a booty, and their houses shall be made desolate; and they will build houses, but they shall not inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, but they shall not drink their wine.
かれらの財寳は掠められ彼らの家は荒果ん かれら家を造るともその中に住ことを得ず 葡萄を植るともその葡萄酒を飮ことを得ざるべし
14 Nigh is the great day of the Lord, it is nigh, and hasteneth greatly, [there is] the noise of the day of the Lord: bitterly crieth there the mighty man.
ヱホバの大なる日近づけり 近づきて速かに來る 聽よ是ヱホバの日なるぞ 彼處に勇士のいたく叫ぶあり
15 A day of wrath is that day, a day of distress and anxiety, a day of wasting and desolation, a day of darkness and obscurity, a day of clouds and tempestuous gloom,
その日は忿怒の日 患難および痛苦の日 荒かつ亡ぶるの日 黑暗またをぐらき日 濃き雲および黑雲の日
16 A day of the cornet and alarm, against the fenced cities, and against the high battlements.
箛をふき鯨聲をつくり堅き城を攻め高き櫓を攻るの日なり
17 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk about like the blind, because against the Lord have they sinned: and their blood shall be poured out like the dust, and their flesh like the dung.
われ人々に患難を蒙らせて盲者のごとくに惑ひあるかしめん 彼らヱホバにむかひて罪を犯したればなり 彼らの血は流されて塵のごとくになり彼らの肉は捨られて糞土のごとくなるべし
18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them on the day of the Lord's wrath; through the fire of whose zeal the whole land shall be devoured; for destruction, yea, quite sudden, will he prepare for all the inhabitants of the land.
かれらの銀も金もヱホバの烈き怒の日には彼らを救ふことあたはず 全地その嫉妬の火に呑るべし 即ちヱホバ地の民をことごとく滅したまはん 其事まことに速なるべし
