Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus: "Look, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap.
ダマスコにかかはる重負の預言いはく 視よダマスコは邑のすがたをうしなひて荒墟となるべし
2 Her cities will be abandoned forever. They will be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
アロエルの諸邑はすてられん獸畜のむれそこにすみてその伏やすめるをおびやかす者もなからん
3 The fortress shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Aram. They will be as the glory of the children of Israel," says the LORD of hosts.
エフライムの城はすたりダマスコの政治はやみスリアの遺れる者はイスラエルの子輩のさかえのごとく消うせん是は萬軍のヱホバの聖言なり
4 "It will happen in that day that the glory of Jacob will be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh will become lean.
その日ヤコブの榮はおとろへその肥たる肉はやせて
5 It will be like when the harvester gathers the wheat, and his arm reaps the grain. Yes, it will be like when one gleans grain in the Valley of Rephaim.
あだかも收穫人の麥をかりあつめ腕をもて穂をかりたる後のごとくレパイムの谷に穂をひろひたるあとの如くならん
6 Yet gleanings will be left there, like the shaking of an olive tree, two or three olives in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outermost branches of a fruitful tree," says the LORD, the God of Israel.
されど橄欖樹をうつとき二つ三の核を杪にのこしあるひは四つ五をみのりおほき樹の外面のえだに遺せるが如く採のこさるるものあるべし是イスラエルの神ヱホバの聖言なり
7 In that day, people will look to their Maker, and their eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.
その日人おのれを造れるものを仰ぎのぞみイスラエルの聖者に目をとめん
8 They will not look to the altars, the work of their hands; neither shall they respect that which their fingers have made, either the Asherim, or the incense altars.
斯ておのれの手の工なる祭壇をあふぎ望まずおのれの指のつくりたるアシラの像と日の像とに目をとめじ
9 In that day, their strong cities will be like the forsaken places of the Hivites and the Amorites, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel; and it will be a desolation.
その日かれが堅固なるまちまちは昔イスラエルの子輩をさけてすてさりたる森のなか嶺のうへに今のこれる荒跡のごとく荒地となるべし
10 For you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and have not remembered the rock of your strength. Therefore you plant pleasant plants, and set out foreign seedlings.
そは汝おのがすくひの神をわすれ己がちからとなるべき磐を心にとめざりしによるこのゆゑになんぢ美くしき植物をうゑ異やうの枝をさし
11 In the day of your planting, you hedge it in. In the morning, you make your seed blossom, but the harvest flees away in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
かつ植たる日に籬をまはし朝に芽をいださしむれども患難の日といたましき憂の日ときたりて收穫の果はとびさらん
12 Ah, the uproar of many peoples, who roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing of mighty waters.
唉おほくの民はなりどよめけり海のなりどよめく如くかれらも鳴動めけりもろもろの國はなりひびけり、戸じ大水のなりひびくが如くかれらも鳴響けり
13 The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters: but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far off, and will be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.
もろもろの國はおほくの水のなりひびくがごとく鳴響かんされど神かれらを攻たまふべしかれら遠くのがれて風にふきさらるる山のうヘの粃糠のごとくまた旋風にふきさらるる塵のごとくならん
14 At evening, look, terror. Before the morning, they are no more. This is the portion of those who plunder us, and the lot of those who rob us.
視よゆふぐれに恐怖ありいまだ黎明にいたらずして彼等は亡たり これ我儕をかすむる者のうくべき報われらを奪ふもののひくべき鬮なり
