Isaiah 21
1 The burden of the wilderness of the sea. Like windstorms in the south for passing through, It has come from the wilderness, From a fearful land.
うみべの荒野にかかる重負のよげん いはく／荒野よりおそるべき地より南のかたの暴風のふきすぐるが如くきたれり
2 A hard vision has been declared to me, The treacherous dealer is dealing treacherously, And the destroyer is destroying. Go up, O Elam, besiege, O Media, I have caused all its sighing to cease.
われ苛き默示をしめされたり 欺騙者はあざむき荒すものはあらすべし エラムよ上れメデアよかこめ 我すでにすべての歎息をやめしめたり
3 Therefore my loins have been filled [with] great pain, Pangs have seized me as pangs of a travailing woman, I have been bent down by hearing, I have been troubled by seeing.
この故にわが腰は甚だしくいたみ 產にのぞめる婦人の如き苦しみ我にせまれり われ悶へ苦しみて聞ことあたはず我をののきて見ことあたはず
4 My heart has wandered, trembling has terrified me, He has made the twilight of my desire a fear to me,
わが心みだれまどひて慴き怖ること甚だし わが樂しめる夕はかはりて懼れとなりぬ
5 Arrange the table, watch in the watchtower, Eat, drink, rise, you heads, anoint the shield,
彼らは席をまうけ筵をしきてくひのみす もろもろの君よたちて盾にあぶらぬれ
6 For thus said the Lord to me: “Go, station the watchman, Let him declare that which he sees.”
ヱホバかく我にいひ給へり 汝ゆきて斥候をおきその見るところを告しめよ
7 And he has seen a chariot—a couple of horsemen, The rider of a donkey, the rider of a camel, And he has given attention—He has increased attention!
かれ馬にのりて二列にならび來るものを見 また驢馬にのりたると駱駝にのりたるとをみば 耳をかたぶけて詳細にきくことをせしめよと
8 And he cries, “A lion, my lord! I am continually standing on a watchtower by day, And I am stationed on my ward whole nights.
かれ獅の如く呼はりて曰けるは わが主よわれ終日やぐらに立よもすがら斥候の地にたつ
9 And behold, this, the chariot of a man is coming, A couple of horsemen.” And he answers and says: “Fallen, fallen has Babylon, And He has broken all the carved images of her gods to the earth.
馬にのりて二列にならびたる者きたれり 彼こたへていはくバビロンは倒れたり 倒れたりそのもろもろの神の像はくだけて地にふしたり
10 O my threshing, and the son of my floor, That which I heard from YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, I have declared to you!”
蹂躙らるるわが民よわが打場のたなつものよ 我イスラエルの神萬軍のヱホバに聞るところのものを汝につげたり
11 The burden of Dumah. [One] is calling to me from Seir, “Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?”
ドマに係るおもにの預言 いはく／人ありセイルより我をよびていふ 斥候よ夜はなにのときぞ 斥候よ夜はなにの時ぞ
12 The watchman has said, “Morning has come, and also night, If you inquire, inquire, return, come.”
ものみ答へていふ 朝きたり夜またきたる 汝もしとはんとおもはば問 なんぢら歸りきたるべし
13 The burden on Arabia. You lodge in a forest in Arabia, O caravans of Dedanim.
アラビヤにかかる重負のよげん 曰く／デダンの客商よなんぢらはアラビヤの林にやどらん
14 Inhabitants of the land of Tema Have brought water to meet the thirsty, With his bread they came before a fugitive.
テマの地のたみよ水をたづさへて渇ける者をむかへ 糧をもて逃遁れたるものを迎へよ
15 For they fled from the face of destructions, From the face of an outstretched sword, And from the face of a trodden bow, And from the face of the grievousness of battle.
かれらは刃をさけ 旣にぬきたる劍すでに張たる弓およびたたかひの艱難をさけて逃きたれり
16 For thus said the Lord to me: “Within a year, as years of a hired worker, All the glory of Kedar has been consumed.
そは主われにいひたまはく 傭人の期にひとしく一年のうちにケダルのすべての榮華はつきはてん
17 And the remnant of the number of bow-men, The mighty of the sons of Kedar, are few, For YHWH, God of Israel, has spoken!”
そののこれる弓士のかずとケダルの子孫のますらをとは少なかるべし 此はイスラエルの神ヱホバのかたり給へるなり
