Isaiah 34
1 Come near, you nations, to hear, And you peoples, give attention, The earth and its fullness hear, The world, and all its productions.
もろもろの国よ、近づいて聞け。もろもろの民よ、耳を傾けよ。地とそれに満ちるもの、世界とそれから出るすべてのものよ、聞け。
2 For to YHWH [is] wrath against all the nations, And fury against all their host, He has devoted them to destruction, He has given them to slaughter.
主はすべての国にむかって怒り、そのすべての軍勢にむかって憤り、彼らをことごとく滅ぼし、彼らをわたして、ほふらせられた。
3 And their wounded are cast out, And their carcasses cause their stench to ascend, And mountains have been melted from their blood.
彼らは殺されて投げすてられ、その死体の悪臭は立ちのぼり、山々はその血で溶けて流れる。
4 And all the host of the heavens have been consumed, And the heavens have been rolled together as a scroll, And all their hosts fade, As the fading of a leaf of a vine, And as the fading one of a fig tree.
天の万象は衰え、もろもろの天は巻物のように巻かれ、その万象はぶどうの木から葉の落ちるように、いちじくの木から葉の落ちるように落ちる。
5 For My sword was soaked in the heavens, Behold, it comes down on Edom, On the people of My curse for judgment.
わたしのつるぎは天において憤りをもって酔った。見よ、これはエドムの上にくだり、わたしが滅びに定めた民の上にくだって、これをさばく。
6 A sword [is] to YHWH—it has been full of blood, It has been made fat with fatness, With blood of lambs and male goats. With fat of kidneys of rams, For to YHWH [is] a sacrifice in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
主のつるぎは血で満ち、脂肪で肥え、小羊とやぎの血、雄羊の腎臓の脂肪で肥えている。主がボズラで犠牲の獣をほふり、エドムの地で大いに殺されたからである。
7 And reems have come down with them, And bullocks with bulls, And their land has been soaked from blood, And their dust is made fat from fatness.
野牛は彼らと共にほふり場にくだり、子牛は力ある雄牛と共にくだる。その国は血で酔い、その土は脂肪で肥やされる。
8 (For a day of vengeance [is] to YHWH, A year of recompenses for Zion’s strife),
主はあだをかえす日をもち、シオンの訴えのために報いられる年をもたれるからである。
9 And her streams have been turned to pitch, And her dust to brimstone, And her land has become burning pitch.
エドムのもろもろの川は変って樹脂となり、その土は変って硫黄となり、その地は変って燃える樹脂となって、
10 She is not quenched by night and by day, Her smoke goes up for all time, She is desolate from generation to generation, Forever and ever, none is passing into her.
夜も昼も消えず、その煙は、とこしえに立ちのぼる。これは世々荒れすたれて、とこしえまでもそこを通る者はない。
11 And pelican and hedgehog possess her, And owl and raven dwell in her, And He has stretched out over her A line of vacancy, and stones of emptiness.
たかと、やまあらしとがそこをすみかとし、ふくろうと、からすがそこに住む。主はその上に荒廃をきたらせる測りなわを張り、尊い人々の上に混乱を起す下げ振りをさげられる。
12 They call her nobles [to] the kingdom, But there are none there, And all her princes are at an end.
人々はこれを名づけて「国なき所」といい、その君たちは皆うせてなくなる。
13 And thorns have gone up her palaces, Nettle and bramble [are] in her fortresses, And it has been a habitation of dragons, A court for daughters of an ostrich.
そのとりでの上には、いばらが生え、その城には、いらくさと、あざみとが生え、山犬のすみか、だちょうのおる所となる。
14 And desert-dwellers have met with howlers, And the goat calls for its companion, Surely the night-owl has rested there, And has found a place of rest for herself.
野の獣はハイエナと出会い、鬼神はその友を呼び、夜の魔女もそこに降りてきて、休み所を得る。
15 The owl has made her nest there, Indeed, she lays, and has hatched, And has gathered under her shadow, Surely vultures have been gathered there, Each with its companion.
ふくろうはそこに巣をつくって卵を産み、それをかえして、そのひなを翼の陰に集める。とびもまた、おのおのその連れ合いと共に、そこに集まる。
16 Seek out of the scroll of YHWH, and read, One of these has not been lacking, None has missed its companion, For My mouth—it has commanded, And His Spirit—He has gathered them.
あなたがたは主の書をつまびらかにたずねて、これを読め。これらのものは一つも欠けることなく、また一つもその連れ合いを欠くものはない。これは主の口がこれを命じ、その霊が彼らを集められたからである。
17 And He has cast a lot for them, And His hand has apportioned [it] to them by line, They possess it for all time, They dwell in it from generation to generation!
主は彼らのためにくじを引き、手ずから測りなわをもって、この地を分け与え、長く彼らに所有させ、世々ここに住まわせられる。
