Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz has seen:
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 “Lift up an ensign on a high mountain, Raise the voice to them, wave the hand, And they go into the openings of nobles.
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 given charge to My sanctified ones, Also I have called My mighty ones for My anger, Those rejoicing at My excellence.”
われ旣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 A voice of a multitude in the mountains, A likeness of a numerous people, A voice of noise from the kingdoms of nations who are gathered, YHWH of Hosts inspecting 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 in from a far-off land, From the end of the heavens, YHWH and the instruments 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 Howl, for the Day of YHWH [is] near, It comes as destruction from the Mighty.
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 fail, And every heart of man melts.
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 have been troubled, Pains and pangs take them, They are pained as a travailing woman, A man marvels at his friend, The appearance of flames—their faces!
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 YHWH comes, Fierce, with wrath, and heat of anger, To make the land become a desolation, Indeed, He destroys its sinning ones from 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, Do not cause their light to shine, The sun has been darkened in its going out, And the moon does not cause its light to come forth.
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 have appointed evil on the world, And on the wicked their iniquity, And have caused the excellence of the proud to cease, And I make the excellence of the terrible low.
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 make man more rare than fine gold, And a common man than pure gold 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 I cause the heavens to tremble, And the earth shakes from its place, In the wrath of YHWH of Hosts, And in a day of the heat of His 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 it has been, as a roe driven away, And as a flock that has no gatherer, Each to his people—they turn, And each to his land—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 Everyone who is found is thrust through, And everyone who is added falls by 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 sucklings are dashed to pieces before their eyes, Their houses are spoiled, and their wives lain with.
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 am stirring up the Medes against them, Who do not esteem silver, And gold—they do not delight in it.
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 bows dash young men to pieces, And they do not pity the fruit of the womb, Their eye has no pity on sons.
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 Babylon, the beauty of kingdoms, The glory, the excellence of the Chaldeans, Has been as overthrown by God, With Sodom and with 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 She does not sit forever, Nor continue to many generations, Nor does Arab pitch tent there, And shepherds do not lie down 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 And desert-dwellers have lain down there, And their houses have been full of howlers, And daughters of an ostrich have dwelt there, And goats skip 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 howlers—he has responded in his forsaken habitations, And dragons in palaces of delight, And her time [is] near to come, And her days are not drawn out!”
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
