Joel 1
1 The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
ペトエルの子ヨエルに臨めるヱホバの言
2 Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or in the days of your fathers?
老たる人よ汝ら是を聽け すべて此地に住む者汝ら耳を傾けよ 汝らの世あるは汝らの先祖の世にも是のごとき事ありしや
3 Tell ye your children of it, and [let] your children [tell] their children, and their children another generation.
汝ら之を子に語り子はまた之をその子に語りその子之を後の代に語りつたへよ
4 That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten.
噬くらふ蝗虫の遺せる者は群ゐる蝗虫のくらふ所となりその遺せる者はなめつくすおほねむしのくらふ所となりその遺せる者は喫ほろぼす蝗虫の食ふ所となれり
5 Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.
醉る者よ汝ら目を醒して泣け すべて酒をのむ者よ哭きさけべ あたらしき酒なんぢらの口に絶えたればなり
6 For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number; his teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the jaw teeth of a great lion.
そはことなる民わが國に攻よすればなり その勢ひ強くその數はかられずその齒は獅子の齒のごとくその牙は牝獅子の牙のごとし
7 He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.
彼等わが葡萄の樹を荒しわが無花果の樹を折りその皮をはぎはだかにして之を棄つ その枝白くなれり
8 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
汝ら哀哭かなしめ 貞女その若かりしときの夫のゆゑに麻布を腰にまとひて哀哭かなしむがごとくせよ
9 The meal offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD’S ministers, mourn.
素祭灌祭ともにヱホバの家に絶えヱホバに事ふる祭司等哀傷をなす
10 The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted, the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.
田は荒れ地は哀傷む 是穀物荒はて新しき酒つき油たえんとすればなり
11 Be ashamed, O ye husbandmen, howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; for the harvest of the field is perished.
こむぎ大麥の故をもて農夫羞ぢよ 葡萄をつくり哭けよ 田の禾稼うせはてたればなり
12 The vine is withered, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field are withered: for joy is withered away from the sons of men.
葡萄樹は枯れ無花果樹は萎れ石榴 椰子 林檎および野の諸の樹は凋みたり 是をもて世の人の喜樂かれうせぬ
13 Gird yourselves [with sackcloth], and lament, ye priests; howl, ye ministers of the altar; come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meal offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God.
祭司よ汝ら麻布を腰にまとひてなきかなしめ 祭壇に事ふる者よ汝らなきさけべ 神に事ふる者よなんぢら來り麻布をまとひて夜をすごせ 其は素祭も灌祭も汝らの神の家に入ことあらざればなり
14 Sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the old men [and] all the inhabitants of the land unto the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD.
汝ら斷食を定め集會を設け長老等を集め國の居民をことごとく汝らの神ヱホバの家に集めヱホバにむかひて號呼れよ
15 Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as destruction from the Almighty shall it come,
ああその日は禍なるかな ヱホバの日近く暴風のごとくに全能者より來らん
16 Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, [yea], joy and gladness from the house of our God?
我らがまのあたりに食物絶えしにあらずや 我らの神の家に歡喜と快樂絶えしにあらずや
17 The seeds rot under their clods; the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.
種は土の下に朽ち倉は壞れ廩は圯る そは穀物ほろぼされたればなり
18 How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.
いかに畜獸は哀み鳴くや 牛の群は亂れ迷ふ 草なければなり 羊の群もまた死喪ん
19 O LORD, to thee do I cry: for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field.
ヱホバよ我なんぢに向ひて呼はらん 荒野の諸の草は火にて焼け野の諸の樹は火熖にてやけつくればなり
20 Yea, the beasts of the field pant unto thee: for the water brooks are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
野の獸もまた汝にむかひて呼はらん 其は水の流涸はて荒野の草火にてやけつくればなり
